New headcanon time: When Bren's mother gets mad at him for "carrying on with that atevi woman," she doesn't mean Jago. I firmly believe that Bren and Jago are the perfect picture of discretion when theyre around others.

Bren's mother meant Ilisidi, and not only is Ilisidi aware, she thinks its funny as hell and keeps intentionally playing into it

I love the Foreigner books, but they're based on some very unrealistic premises. For example, the idea that humans don't experience man'chi.

I love Ilisidi so much

Eavesdropping on Bren, sending him useful information in response before Bren could go ask her opinion, and then telling him to go the fuck to bed

Ilisidi the unfuckwithable

[talesoferyngalen]

Through a very specific lense, the first Foreigner book is an evil hallmark movie.

An uptight, work-focused person (Bren) finds himself in a rural location largely disconnected from modern life (Malguri), more or less against his will. Over the course of the book, his perspective changes (valuing the natural world/history/understanding atevi better/etc), and he realizes he doesnt love his partner (Barb) anymore, if he ever did. The only difference is that, instead of the catalyst being him falling in love with a non-Barb person, its Ilisidi putting him through absolute hell.

Just

Ilisidi watching a hallmark movie: "so, this is a human machimi?"

Bren: "yes, theyre very similar, at least"

Ilisidi: "well now I know why abducting, isolating, and torturing you worked so well"

Bren, starting to notice the similarities: ☹️
