"And these are your motives, my lord?"
"Do you think I have others?" said Lord Vetinari. "My motives, as ever, are entirely transparent."
Hughnon reflected that "entirely transparent" meant either that you could see right through them or that you couldn't see them at all.

(idk how long it has been since you asked this) personally i would like that some of the ro's ended up together :D i always feel guilty for not romancing some ro's, and while i know that they value the mc's friendship, i also want them to have a good, healthy romantic relationship.
It's been a bit but that's okay :D. I understand that mentality completley and I have a feeling that some of the ROs will end up with someone else, because I don't want my babies to die alone. Now, you might not actually meet the person they're with but they would more than likely be referenced. If it's something I decide to do.
Which ros are going to end up together if mc doesn’t romance them?
I don't know if any of the ROs will get together if the MC doesn't romance them. Mostly because of the mating thing with the dragons. As the dragons would have already chosen one another by the time the MC got there. (With PoF it's doable but I don't think HoF can have that happen.)
However, you can always headcanon whoever you want together. Like I just had a laugh imagining M and S together.
Why Your Wounded Queer Heart Should Be Watching Gregg Araki’s Now Apocalypse
Hello! Are now or have ever been wounded by queerbaiting, bury your gays or dead lesbians?
Well, fuck that shit. It’s stupid and lame and I’m tired of it. So may I recommend:
Yeaaaaah. It’s from legendary queer filmmaker (and honestly, I have mixed feelings about him as a creator but that doesnt make him any less fucking legendary) Gregg Araki.
Fuck the Magicians. Fuck Roswell, New Mexico. This is the most queer, most millennial shit I have ever seen. And in my house, have been blessed with Starz so I have done you the favor of watching it all the way thru beginning to end on demand(because the night episode 4 aired I realized we had it on demand before it aired because I physically couldnt stop myself holy shit what the hell was happening, this was beautiful madness I needed every second of it so I’ve screened it for you, you’re welcome.)
No one dies in this as it exists right now. Bad things happen cuz, do you see that fucking lizard monster? Literally, there is an oncoming possible apocalypse. Shit is bananas! But. There’s no queerbaiting. Why?
Cuz fucking everyone is all over the place and it’s 2019 in fucking LA and things are bananas and the representation is off the chain. Stop. Let me explain.
This is our hero, Ulysses “Uly” Zane to his friends, a “mostly” gay man of color living in LA doing....whatever it is you do when you live in LA.
He spends way too much time online, doesnt really have much of a career, is living off his straight best friend from college whose family is VERY rich (and is genuinely happy to have him there, more on him later) and is trying to work his shit out.
And to answer your question, baby, yes. You are. But you’re sweet and smart and you take care of your friends to the point of rabidity and are there for deeply loveable.
This is Carly Carlson. Carly is Uly’s straight female best friend (not the one he lives with. More on him later. Promise.) Carly is mostly straight, manages to fill the roll straight women usually take up in shows like this (the fag hag) without actually BEING a fag hag.
She has WAY too much of her own shit going on to lose herself in Uly’s life. Although, she is concerned about how much weed he smokes (spoiler: a lot. he smokes a lot of weed). She’s dating a GORGEOUS guy who she is, quite frankly, too fucking good for, has a career she’s trying to pursue, has living situation problems, and has her own sexual identity to pursue which is depicted with some of the most shockingly visceral and honest emotional realism I’ve ever seen on TV ever.
This is Ford Halstead, the show’s token straight boy who Uly sometimes fantasizes about because why wouldn’t he, Ford’s built like a greek statue? Man’s a beefcake but mostly, he is just very protective of him because the boy is a walking talking golden retriever puppy of a human being who is so painfully genuine i wanna cry about it.
No really, he’s a goddamn marshmellow who wants to be screenplay writer(if only he had any talent...) and is seriously in love with his girlfriend. Wow does he love his girlfriend. He loves her so much and is willing to do just about anything to make her happy. He lives on mommy and daddy’s money and knows it and so he extends that good fortune to Uly by letting him living with him basically rent free. There appears to be no conditions on this arrangement. Ford is just his family. Seriously. There’s no more depth to it except that it’s very deep because they are genuinely emotionally connected to each other and sincere in the way they relate. They like each other a lot, in a really familiar way that I recognize from how I connect to my own friends.
This is Dr. Severine Bordeaux, Ford’s French astro-biochemist battleaxe of a girlfriend. If all fangirls looked like models, had advanced degrees and worked for shady organizations against an oncoming storm of some kind of possible creeping Skrull-esque lizard alien threat? They would be Severine. Shocking no one, Ford is in love with her so much it’s both scary and a little sad.
She’s smarter than you, she’s more sexually liberated than you, she’s queer-er than you, she’s more poly than you, she knows herself and while she might compromise on activities, she will not compromise on identity. She’s got no fucking patience for being talked down to or controlled. She says exactly what she thinks when she thinks it about 80% of the time. Her feminism has fangs and her pussy has a hunger and she feeds both. I want to be her when I grow up. She’s both very nerdy about her science and very nerdy about her sex and when i tell you that I know this person, have met her, I really do mean that. Even their femme fatale is someone recognizable to me. That is some awesome shit. And did I mention that she has feelings? She does. She is not dead inside or anything. She’s just not a squish.
Above all, really, its Uly’s story. He meet a boy he really likes, they have a date and things go really well!
(Yes, that is Teen Wolf’s own true alpha Scott McCall Uly is making out with, aren’t we proud of how much Tyler Posey’s grown up? Just playing queer men all over tv.)
Things kinda go off the rails real quick though.
And I mean, way off the rails.
Although, did I mention Uly smokes a lot of weed?
So we’re dealing with a TERRIFYINGLY unreliable narrator. It’s SO GREAT.
There are a lot of side characters of various genders, races, orientations, and oh my god, even disability with a few famous faces who wil make you go “wait is that” and the answer is “yes, it is” including Junior from Breaking Bad as an artist Carly has a really desperate attraction to that is just all around a great. It’s a heart-felt sex comedy at its core even if it’s also got elements of real drama, sci-fi, and just weirdness throughout.
It’s mostly just the small adventures of these assholes and their lives in LA. Their very millennial. Very queer or very poly lives in LA. Minus the part where Uly thinks the world is gonna end.
And for the record, if the world does end? It’ll end for ALL OF THEM, not just Uly. And it could. Know going into it that Gregg Araki has written stories about the end of the world before.
But it will be really weird and funny and gay af getting there. And they take care of each other getting there. The thing about Now Apocalypse is that where with things like The Magicians they’re the WORST and I don’t really like any of them because they dont ever take care of each other? The Now Apocalypse crew are the WORST and I love all of them because they DO take care of each other constantly building this network of found-family in their friendships that is very familiar to me as a millennial who is doing similar things. Like, honestly, if there was a fraction of the love or even genuinely enjoyment of each other’s company on any other show I’m watching right now? I’d be stupid over it. But I can’t think of another show where the characters actually LIKE each other as much as the Now Apocalypse characters do. And when they dont? THAT IS AN ISSUE IN THE PLOT. I cant tell you how muchI appreciate that.
I can promise you these first 10 episodes though, all our characters have weird shit happen to them, they dont even necessarily end up where we want them to be, but...yall, its fun. And strange. And even though it’s imperfect, I walked away from the season finale strangely satisfied? I dont feel like I should have been but I did. It’s an odd thing.
I think it’s because as much as things like the Magicians and shows on the CW are trying to feature Millennials, Now Apocalypse actually feels like it is about millennials. I walked away from a episode2 going “Holy shit, I’ve never felt more seen in my whole life” and a show that can make you feel that is something I feel like should be shared right now.
