“I’m so proud of you, you know that?” (maniacal laughter as i go to bed)

@obstiinance

he’s not sure which feeling is STRONGEST -- suspicion, guilt, or surprise.  mia is ONLY ever NICE when she wants something, or is about to do something that makes him in need of a strong DRINK.  he raises an eyebrow, weight shifting awkwardly from foot to foot as he cannot meet her EYE.  

he’s not sure what to SAY.  ‘i...that is SURPRISING,’ he tells her, red coloring his cheeks.  ‘after everything.  i would not presume that you...i mean, i have not been the best...i...thank you, mia.’

Faolan: thinks about mia in any shape or form

Faolan: Cullen is going to kill me

@obstiinance​ asked “victimhood is not your colour.” from this meme. 

    Cullen wasn’t used to having Mia around anymore, to hear her motherly tone sound so strong towards him, but he knew it was well deserved. They’d stayed up late, well long past midnight talking and Cullen had finally told her everything that he’d kept from her and the rest of his siblings. He’d never wanted to be a burden to them and had kept his problems to himself. Mia had always had a way of making him feel better, even as a child and he nodded. “I suppose it isn’t, but it’s not as simple as changing it out for a new one.” 

    He’d been fighting his demons and currently, he found himself winning. He didn’t see himself as the victim anymore, he was moving on and coming home had been a major step in that recovery “I’m working on it though, I’ve gotten better. But you deserved to know. You all do, but you’re the easiest to talk to.”

“ you promised me! ” [ cullen. yeet. ]

was this an ask meme?? | @freedomsung - Mia Rutherford

She could beat on him all he wanted, he’d take it. The tired Templar let his sister get mad, rage all she liked because every second that she supported him in his dreams and upbringing to be what he wanted to be was all sacrifice. She was right, he shouldn’t have left. She was right, his family needed him. She was right he didn’t write enough. She was always right. He couldn’t argue that. He might have rolled his eyes when speaking of her letters, embarrassed that his own sister had to nag him to write. But now that she was here, there was so much hurt to be mended.

         So he just let her.

write us something about cailan?

Cailan is an interesting one to write about, because even though they’re so closely related there’s almost nothing to go off of from canon. I believe Cailan should have been 2 or 3 when she dies in canon, and all of their interaction takes place in the past from a second hand source who is very depressed and probably remembering it through rose tinted glasses (Maric). The most we really get from the books is that she apparently loved being a queen and a mother more than being a warrior, and she liked to read to Cailan. That’s it.

My problem with that (from a character standpoint) is that Maric seems to remember it as if Rowan was all beauty and grace and perfection after the rebellion, and I just don’t buy that. We see several times throughout Stolen Throne that she wants to be those things. Rowan wants to be soft and pretty, but dammit there’s a war going on, and if she shows a shred of weakness then everyone looks at her as if she has three heads. She’s aggressive, she’s filthy 90% of the time, she’s “too muscular” for pretty dresses, not that she ever has a chance to wear them. She’s just not very good at being a girl. We see her struggle a lot with being comfortable outside her armor, literally and figuratively, throughout most of Stolen Throne. She finds some confidence along the way, and there is a distinct change in her towards the end of the book suggesting that idyllic feminine queen Maric remembers. However, that’s also the exact moment David Gaider transforms her from a wonderful fleshed out character into a fucking plot device. So I don’t trust it.

Now. Does Rowan enjoy being domestic more than being a warrior? Yes, absolutely. Does that change the fact that between Rowan and Maric she’s the more aggressive and pessimistic? No, no it doesn’t. She is not perfect just because she’s a wife and a mother now. She tries to be, but it’s ultimately something she’s still not 100% comfortable in. She’s harsher in her actions than she sometimes needs or means to be, not in the way of punishment, but definitely in teaching Cailan how to handle social situations. She’s fiercely protective of her family, and she will defend Cailan to a fault, even coddling him more than she really should.

I feel like this got very off topic, but it makes it hard to theorize a lot about their relationship when he’s older on my own, just because canon Cailan tends to be a carbon copy of Maric while also being neglected by him at a young age. It’s hard to tell what kind of impact she would have on him because her death defines what we see of his childhood in canon.
