The fear in trying to change a system from within is that the system also changes you.
finished reading emperor and clown this morning. i am feeling very unwell about it especially since i have to wait til next month to be able to afford the next book series a handful of men i think its called
honestly faery lands forlorn did absolutely nothing to stop me from shipping rap and little chicken? the opposite, really. i should have known that my last chance of escape was lost at 'what if i jokingly shipped them' in book 1 lol
anyways that one part where inos has just arrived in zark but rap is already in milflor and thinks little chicken was killed by the emperors soldiers was like
inos *worrying herself sick bc she thinks shell have to marry a goblin* *meanwhile rap grieving for his goblin boyfriend*
More reasons to read A Man of His Word/A Handful of Men (as if you needed any):
-Almost the entire cast is POC
-World has realistic sexism and racism but the POC and women have agency
-A bisexual female love story literally saves the world
-AGAN (All Gods Are Nonbinary)
-Nuanced portrayals of abuse and abusive relationships
The Gods: Y O U S H A L L O B E Y
Rap: How about no
A Man of His Word really said “The only thing that can save you from being corrupted by absolute power is sharing that power”
rereading a man of his word right now because every part of this series has been echoing in my brain for 10 years.

Er wollte Raps Freund sein; er wollte es wirklich. Es war doch nicht seine Schuld, dass seine Kultur es niemals zulassen würde. Also stieß er Rap von sich, wieder und wieder- so gut er es eben konnte.

Rap never meant for it to happen this way. (Or, the one in which Yggingi gets the jump on Little Chicken while he's trying to dispose of him in Inisso's room and Rap kills the duke in the heat of the moment.)
