#team bree

[worth-this-and-more]

i lied. put your clothes back on. i'll tell you how selwyn fought so hard to keep from succumbing to his blood but then sacrificed his humanity for bree; and how this girl bree gave up her own freedom for a last desperate hope that sel could be saved by natasia.

Notice what she said about Oathbound's place in the series! The ending was already in mind! She was writing elements of Oathbound in the final book and realized that she didn't have the runway with each character's arc. Oathbound was never filler despite the naysayers! It saved us from a rushed ending! The ending is still the ending!

Legendborn Ships 🚢

If the idea of Bree choosing Nick instead of Sel upsets you, this story is no longer about Bree.

If the idea of Bree choosing Sel instead of Nick upsets you, this story is no longer about Bree.

If the idea of Bree choosing one and not both upsets you, this story is no longer about Bree.

If the idea of Bree choosing none of the above and opting to focus on herself for a bit upsets you, this story is no longer about Bree.

If you're expending energy trying to 'prove' your ship is the right one and participating in shipping wars... this story is no longer about Bree.

I love romance. I love the way Tracy Deonn has woven love stories into the narrative. I'm not going to say the romances aren't important because they are, and given Tracy's thoughts around Bonnie's treatment in the Vampire Diaries I think Bree even having a choice is deliberate. Tracy has reiterated in several places that Bree will choose whatever is best for Bree, and given the sensitivity and thoughtfulness with which Tracy has handled the whole story (seriously, this is what puts this series a cut above the rest for me), I don't think the decision Bree makes romantically will be taken lightly or that TD will choose a thoughtless solution, because she's the kind of writer who respects the characters she has created.

But at the end of the day, this is a story about a Black girl navigating grief after losing her mother, dealing with institutional racism and systemic injustice, and being at the very heart of a centuries-old battle she never asked to participate in.

I am #TeamBree, whatever that looks like, and my wish as a reader is that Bree would find peace, hold the power that is rightfully owed to her to wield as she wishes, and have a community of people that love and support her, including Nick and Sel.

It's normal and acceptable to feel disappointment if your ship doesn't sail, but if you find yourself rating the book lower for those reasons specifically, you have lost the plot. Who Bree chooses to be in a romantic relationship with is literally not the main point of the story.

a briana fanart of all her powers, because why not;

heavily inspired by @ismyteadoneyet your fanart and a dream i had; i tried?? to include all branches of bree's powers, aether seems kinda small because spare me guys idk how else would i have included it lmaoo

also, sad news is that my stylus broke, so i possibly may not be able to make new fanarts for some days now. *cue sad music* and i was not much active because my PC was also gone for repairing (my sad sad luck)

and yes, i have drawn bree's hair the same way because i don't know how to draw braids okay trust me i will learn that and i will draw bree in braids and especially boho braids cause my baby they look gorgeoussss
