#kotlc goblins

[oroshka]

Sandor getting offended by what Sophie’s being taught about goblins in her multispecies classes will forever be one of my favorite things about kotlc

Part One of drawing Underrated and Unrecognized KOTLC characters. Starting off strong we got the one and only baddie, the Goblin Queen Hylda! (and Twinkle the Titanoboa)

Ngl, at this point my favorite race/species is almost the goblins.

canon /j

the bodyguards secretly ship their charges CONSTANTLY except for Sandor who finds it annoying and immature

ro doesnt exclusively ship Sokeefe, she will ship Keefe with anyone she's just here for the drama

grizel is annoyed that Fitz is still gay in denial, because all the other gay charges have figured it out by now

they have bets on who will get together first, the dwarves keep winning because they know all but out of the goblins grizel usually wins

woltzer ships Biana x Obedience

i was rereading lodestar last night and tell me why sandor and grizel literally have the best love story?? like we knew this but....the scene in sandor's house in gildingham? the dialogue? "afraid i'd play too many games?" "afraid you'd win." IM SCREAMING??

quick question: do you think goblins are like gnomes and need very little sleep? or they automatically wake up when their senses detect a potential threat? or something else?

i’m trying to figure out what sandor does during the night & how he gets sleep (if he even needs it)

Excellent question I wish I had a better answer for! I've looked into bodyguards a little bit in the past and found that if someone needed the kind of constant supervision Sophie does, there's no way for one person to do it. They'd require multiple bodyguards. So my conclusion then was that Sophie has always needed multiple bodyguards and we've just been blurring past the logistics for Sandor for the sake of not adding too many characters.

The one mention I remember of Sandor and sleep is when he feel asleep in one of her history lectures because it was so boring. Otherwise, he's been awake practically the whole series watching over Sophie. The reason gnomes need little sleep is because they can get their energy from an alternate source: the sun. So if goblins are like gnomes, they'd need an alternate source, but they're not plant-like so I'm unsure what it would be. They seem a lot more similar to other species that need sleep--like ogres, elves, etc.

So as boring an answer as it may be--not alternate energy sources, no superhuman senses and resilience against sleep--I think the most accurate answer is that Sandor's been getting by with suspension of disbelief. He's been on a constant vigilance on his own for several books, and we see that he stands guard outside her door during the night. That leaves no time for his own life and hobbies or for sleeping, but we let it slide.

However, if you're talking about the series as it stands currently, then the way he gets sleep is letting someone else take the night shift with Sophie (e.g. Flori and Bo) and hittin the hay. Doing what he wants and relying on someone else so he's properly rested to protect her later. Shared responsibilities solves all those problems.

That's at least how I understand the situation, but who knows! Maybe goblins can like. go into a state of restfulness and sleep while being alert and never actually have to go to sleep to recharge or something like that!

okay i strictly remember Gizelle being described with a long golden ponytail, and that the official art is wrong, i mean it’s not unlikely with the fact that the ogres are supposed to look like rocks and don’t

when you get to that part can you let me know if i got her confused with someone else, because i don’t even remember which book it was in 

honestly im at the point in the series and like am i reading anymore or just swallowing words like drops of sandy water
