Y’all if you’re here for pining and longing and heartbreak you cannot get better than NK Jemison’s Inheritance Trilogy.

My god the way Nahadoth and Itempas feel about each other is insane. And about Enefa.

“Nahadoth,” he says, smiling and extending his hands…I shiver. The thing his tongue does to those syllables. He has come to seduce the god of seduction and oh has he come prepared.

“Nahadoth looks utterly demented. But then so does Itempas as he stares down Nahadoth’s rage. There is open lust in his eyes. Unmistakeable beneath the warriors tension. But of course, how many eons did they spend battling? Raw violence giving way to stranger longings? Or perhaps Itempas has simply been so long without Nahadoth’s love that he will take anything, even hate, in its place.”

“I will hate you no less, Tempa,” he breathes, “when you and I are the last living things in this universe”

I went to Naha and took his hand. Itempas watched us like a man dying of thirst within sight of a waterfall.

I'm rereading the series and just finished Broken Kingdoms and god I just love me some Shiny! from a distance of course. Like, of course he's wretched. But...he's just a sad boy. A little mad boy. He died in the trash and woke up in a nice lady's house and she was like totally chill for 3 months. All she asked is that he not try to axe himself in the kitchen anymore and he's like shit, I fucked up, I'm gonna go get her some fish. And he did! And she liked it! And she was so kind to him and he was so at her mercy that when the God of Obligation went to gather her things from her house because drama, he had to bring Shiny, who is basically hers by divine obligation laws. Now her once god pet is now seething with rage because how dare she take me in and care for me like I'm hers. I hate people. But it's what he needs and he can't be alone, but still how dare she. I'm fucking Itempas and She is not Enefa and she won't get away with this. I'm fiercely apologizing to Nahadoth at night on new moon's but he's acting like a BITCH! I fucking hate him, but I love him and I'm so sorry! I love Enefa too, but she stole him from me and nobody seems to CARE! I absolutely refuse to talk to a mortal, gross. But this one is not exactly terrible, I'll make her food and bring it to her, she is blind after all. I'm not a monster.

Itempas, walking down the street eating a radish like an apple: I'm gonna fuck her tonight

My husband got me into the Inheritance Trilogy by NK Jemisin last year and I really loved it. I'm (you might figure) a visual person so here's my best shot at Nahadoth (who's ever-shifting features I did my best with), Itempas (post second book), and Yeine (who I actually tend to think of with even shorter hair... let's just assume she's due for a trim here... or something). I've seen very very little fan art of them.

“I could not see his face—too bright—but it was impossible not to see his eyes. They opened as I watched, piercing the unrelenting white with colors I had only heard of in poetry: fire opal. Sunset’s cloak. Velvet and desire.”

Itempas, with a banana peel on his head: thanks I hate it here
