imagine having your own personal hater who's been assigned to you by fate and he is a tiny little clown who won't stop following you around and yammering about your imminent demise and worst of all you love him dearly

good morning I haven't been able to stop thinking of Beloved and Fitz in this pose since first seeing this photo, it seems the Fitzloved brainrot is hard at work yet again (it never ever stops)

Finally starting Dragon Keeper so I can recover from the ending of Fool’s Fate

Do you think Keeper of the Birds Detozi and Keeper of the Birds Erek ever explored each other’s bodies

[fitzchivalry-farseer]

The true plot of Dragon Keeper is the personal notes Detozi and Erek send each other via pigeon.

Sedric and Hest are a brilliantly written exploration of that kind of abusive relationship that is so subtly hidden by the guilty party that the victim sees the abuse as love. There is definitely something to be said for the way their queerness interacts with and amplifies this as well, I'm honestly surprised at how well Robin Hobb wrote their relationship. I'm so excited to watch Sedric come to terms with the truth of Hest's treatment.

Whatever you do, don't think about how one of Fitz's major driving forces is bone-deep, constant shame. Don't think about how it permeated every human interaction he's ever had since he was 6. Don't think about how Beloved's unapologetic self assurance, facets and secrets and all, frightened him to irrationality. Don't think about his special introductory message relaying almost nothing of himself but begging you to read his life with mercy. Don't worry about it. Don't let him know you know.
