The Skill Mistress
Springfest is here! @springfest-rote
This is the art I made to compliment the amazing fic written by @bird-brain99 which you can find ----> here
I love how the fic and art turned out and I'm excited to see what everyone else has made for the event!
drew fitz's babies at their babiest while making notes for their designs
GOOOD MORNING ROTE FANS. I, like Fitz, am just a humble slave to the machinations of the Fool. If he says ‘draw me’ the incessant voice in my head will hound me until I do so. No, no, thats not called schizophrenia leave me alone!
Bring back Farseer era fool lord golden is cool and all but i love that unsettling little man AND BRING BACK RATSY FOR GODS SAKE.
Tragicomedy in ROTE
Patience tripping over a dog, breaking a vase, and slamming her forehead on Fitz's chin while wailing "It's not fair! You should have been mine!"
Chade's one-sided, unreciprocated father-son relationship with Fitz
Fitz's one-sided, unreciprocated son-father relationship with Burrich
Dutiful's one-sided, unreciprocated son-father relationship with Fitz
Kettricken's warped view of her and Verity's relationship based on Fitz's intervention, thinking the Queen's Garden will fix their relationship
Fitz being a proxy for Kettricken's and Verity's courtship
Molly's life is defined by her own toxic father so she just marries Fitz's slightly less toxic father. Bad dad? Just marry a new one
Shrewd is killed because of his folly, Chivalry is thrown off his horse, Verity deceives Fitz before going into his dragon, Regal has an ignoble death, Desire poisons herself, Chade can't hide in the dark when he dies. And Fitz dies surrounded by his family that he doesn't want there. And Beloved only realizes he is beloved at the very last moment.
Mishap -> Hap Gladheart
All the embarrassing teen stuff Dutiful goes through with Elliania just to find out it's all a sham
Swift and Fitz being so defiant to Burrich, unwittingly being his mirror image
Starling getting cheated on
Fitz not realizing Starling was in love with him. (And Jinna, Molly, Kettricken, the Fool...)
The Fool carving Fitz's face into Paragon, getting mad that his eyes are blue, defending his nose, calling Fitz his "one true love", and then Fitz meets Paragon
Fitz not noticing how prideful the Fool is of the little posies Garetha puts on his tray. He twirls the flowers around, bemused. Then he pins them to his shirt with so much joy and pride. He never connects the dots until the quarrel.
Fitz willfully ignoring the Fool's feelings for him for 8 books
The whole scene where the Fool reveals his name to Fitz
The Fool's entire personality change after Fool's Assassin
Everything with the Fool! Tragicomedy is the only way to define him!
Nettle romanticizing Shadow Wolf in her mind and being disappointed by Tom Badgerlock
Nettle never truly getting to know Fitz his entire life, everything she learns about him is from other people and his accidental Skilling
Dutiful and Fitz's first meeting, and the way their relationship begins with total animosity. Fitz gets so offended his son would make eye contact with him and also compare him to Chade lol
And then the total opposite as Dutiful idolizes Fitz, and then starts to realize he is just a flawed human
Dutiful and Fitz's backwards power dynamic, where the son exerts authority over his father. And he also does the same to his own sister, because he can never know his parentage. So Fitz resents Dutiful's exertion of authority over him, but Dutiful doesn't understand why their relationship is the way it is. He wanted a father, Fitz was unwilling. But the fact that Fitz is his father is the biggest obstacle in their relationship.
The first conversation Beloved and Fitz have about Bee being their child
Fitz sleeping on the floor like a dog besides Chade
Fitz drugging Riddle, Lant, and Perseverance
Fitz fist fighting his own guardsmen
F&F Fitz being generally old and feeling out of touch and isolated as the world he once knew disappears and so many of his loved ones die. He can't navigate the world alone anymore but he can't accept that.
Bee being an aspiring spy and Fitz's response is to spy on her spying on him
Beloved finally reuniting with her best friends, just to be forced to nuke their relationship by kidnapping them on Paragon
Bee hating Beloved and almost dooming both her fathers, then finally yelling at Beloved to get him to go to Fitz
The entire end of Assassin's Fate. Worms and gawkers and a family that doesn't seem to care at all about Fitz's comfort and wellbeing, only in appearing proper (Nettle)
"I didn't see you there," "You never did,"
Kettricken having to watch another Farseer she loved go into a stone, without her
Beloved and Bee never repair their relationship
Fitz, Dutiful, Swift, Hap, Nettle, Bee all being cursed because they are their parents
Fitz remembering all of his friends names, including the little puppies he played with as a child. But he walked among the men and women he grew up with in Buckkeep for years, unrecognized
In his final days he feels more connected with Spark, Per, and Hap than Dutiful and Nettle
Everyone thought Fitz and Beloved were involved for decades, literally most of their lives, and Fitz fought that until the very end, when he basically confirming the theory. But they missed out on potentially decades they could have been together, or at least honest with each other
Fitz and Beloved were only together and friends for like 6 years total
