Halfway through The Will to Battle and still thinking about (among other things) this hilarious scene:

Martin Guildbreaker is standing around attending a tense political discussion. Meanwhile Mycroft is 1) handcuffed to Martin, 2) snuggling with Saladin. Midway through the scene Saladin gets his nose bloodied, and then these two sickos are literally licking each other's wounds and making out on the floor because blood is their aphrodisiac. All the heads of state ignore them. Hilarious.

Sniper: Who's the hottest person you can think of? Mycroft: *sniffling* Saladin. Sniper: ... Ganymede: ... Sniper: Mycroft, Saladin isn't here right now. You can be honest with us. Mycroft: Saladin is a ten! Sniper: They're a six at best! Mycroft: YOU TAKE THAT BACK!!!

Ooookay just finished Too Like the Lightning and I have Thoughts and these are only some of them:

So gender: Mycroft’s insistence on using gendered language feels more and more icky, which is so interesting since it’s the default for our world. He assigns people genders based on characteristics—attitudes, aggressiveness, mannerisms, approaches to power, how nurturing someone seems. He keeps it all binary, even for people who very deliberately present as androgynous, even though probably most people in this world think of themselves in nonbinary terms, since nonbinary pronouns are in such common usage, for everyone. His insistence on gendering everyone he meets begins to feel like part of his ‘perversion’, part of his violence.

I think we all have to cry as often as Mycroft Canner does. I think it's healthy. (Not saying that he's a particularly healthy individual..) I'm glad there aren't any gender roles anymore that would stop a man from bawling out his eyes every second chapter.

Character, book, and author names under the cut

Mycroft Canner described himself as the most undeservedly fortunate person in history and then promptly spent the rest of the book going like this.

I think I like Mycroft Canner so much because he really *is* a bad person and the whole world really*does* hate him and if he can carry on and still make friends and achieve progress than me who only feels those things sometimes definitely can

First time I read Seven Surrenders I happened to miss the bit where Sniper explained that it likes it/it pronouns(there was a lot going on), so I spent the whole book thinking that Mycroft was using those pronouns because he like, just really hated Sniper. I was like, ‘well that’s super uncool of Mycroft but technically not the most problematic thing he’s ever done I guess’. Spent the whole book like this then gave the Graphic Audio version a listen and went ‘oohhhh! Mycroft actually takes his friend’s preferences into account with regard to this willy nilly pronouns thing.’ He’s chill like that. Even respected Sniper’s privacy back when it was still secret.
