Something something the religions on Thisby are in inherent conflict but manage to coexist something something Sean is the history of the races and Puck is the future something something Puck thinks it dishonors her parents to ride a capall uisce and Norman Falk thinks it dishonors Tommy to ride a normal horse something something Puck rides Corr and begins to understand why something something George Holly thinks he can feel god on these cliffs something something Columba tried to convert the islanders and was thrown from the cliffs into the sea and the capaill and island magic drag the people of a converted Thisby to watery deaths every year something something the Malvern stables and St. Columba’s would look the same if you added the afterthought confessional something something

Remember when I said I was doing some fics for a more Scorpio Races time of year with some illustrations? Here we go. Tommy and Gabe (and Tommy’s mare, I’ve named her Freyja for this fic) pre-races the year before.

Romantic Subtext for Gabe in The Scorpio Races?

For those of you who’ve read The Scorpio Races, please weigh in on this. (If you haven’t read it, don’t keep reading this, go get a copy of the book now.)

My memory from my first read of The Scorpio Races was that Gabe and Tommy were queer-coded as a gay couple.

But I just finished my reread, and I didn’t get the feeling that they were more than friends at all. Was this a wishful ship on my part?

Even more surprising, on this reread it seemed to hint to me that Gabe was having an affair with Peg Gratton. And that’s why he was leaving the island, to escape the temptation of an affair with a married woman.

Did anyone else find hints of a romantic relationship between Gabe and anyone in the book? Am I imagining things that aren’t there?

What are the heights of the Connollys? How tall is Sean Kendrick? Is there an adorable height difference between George Holly and Annie? These are things I want to know.

My fav tsr scene is the dinner, because of course it is, because there’s nothing like a good kitchen convo with your crush while your brothers cause a commotion in the other room, and because even before Sean gets there gabe and Tommy tossing the chicken and Finn mocking puck’s cooking and Tommy and puck dancing while he teases her about Sean is so, so happy and comfortable and it’s that perfect painfully happy tug at your heartstrings moment before everything falls apart

Also for some reason when Tommy and puck are dancing the music I always picture is Andrew bird’s Three White Horses, specifically the, like, middle third that has sorta slidey singing and violin and a slow beat. Not that it makes any sense in the context of the scene or the supposed time period. But nonetheless.

“Would Puck still have won in a universe where Tommy did not die” — ANGST WHY I just. I just want him to be okay

With an infinite amount of universes, THERE MUST BE AT LEAST ONE WHERE EVERYONE LIVES AND NOTHING HURTS. Right? RIGHT??????
