Listening to my tears ricochet

Listening to my tears ricochet AFTER reading the poppy war and the drowning faith

#AND YOU CAN AIM FOR MY HEART GO FOR BLOOD BUT YOUD STILL MISS ME IN MY BONES #She’s the only divine thing he’s ever believed in #the only creature in this vast cruel land who could kill him #and sometimes #in his loveliest dreams #she does #screaming crying sobbing #this book has finished me #fang runin #rin #yin nezha #rinezha #chen kitay #sring venka #the poppy war #the dragon republic #the burning god #the drowning faith #r f kuang

the recent resurgence in episode 6 talk has led me to reminiscing about Rook's absolutely buckwild backstory. man tries on a nice jacket exactly once and immediately re-evaluates his entire life.

(this has actually been sitting around for a few days because I keep second-guessing it, so uhhh sorry if it's weird! I can't tell anymore!)

#art #twisted wonderland #twisted wonderland episode 6 spoilers #twisted wonderland book 6 spoilers #<- gonna keep tagging for a bit for people who haven't finished it yet #me drawing pre-pomification rook: mm-hmm. yes. applejack. #i saw someone once refer to rook's backstory as b*mboficiation and it has haunted me ever since #it's no wonder vil thinks he can reform epel. look at what he's already done.

Another thing that makes kaladin so painfully relatable is how much his mental illness hides his personality, because between depressive episodes and trauma he's this sarcastic little shit that smiles a lot at his friends and then the depression gets to him and all that disappears

#I'm dreading book 4 so much #my depression got worse while reading it the first time 😭 #also I don't remember exactly what but multiple times he says stuff that i think too often and having a fictional character say that l #ridiculous stuff caused by mental illness made me feel even worse #it helped! because it hit me how stupid it is and that i should avoid that type of thinking at all costs! but didn't i feel like shit for a #while #now i almost finished book 1 and book 2 has Shallan's past 😬😬😬😬😬 #can't wait to read again about her horrible childhood locked home with a violent father that take out his rage at her on others #that won't make me feel horrible at all! #it's not like i wasn't almost crying just at her getting an anxiety attack at the beginning #....these books feels awfully aimed at me fjskdks #the stormlight archive #cosmere

My crochet circle friend: You'll enjoy Gideon the Ninth, and the Locked Tomb series I think

My roommate: Oh you're gonna love Gideon, just trust me

My femme: You are so Gideon coded it's ridiculous. You literally talk like how I imagined she talked when I read the book before I met you.

Me: Alright fine... oh. Oh no.

“Dank farrik!” Din shouts. “There’s a karking rancor in there!”

Boba is grinning like a kid. “Yes! And I haven’t named him yet. He imprinted on me. I spend so much time down here, you have no idea.”

The Return of the Mandalorian to the Book of Boba Fett by TranquilizedDropBear

If you ever thought "I love Boba Fett, I'd love to see him in his own damn show sometime" in regards to Ep 5 of TBOBF can I maybe very enthusiastically recommend you the above linked fic? Because it's lived rent free in my brain for months now and I've thought about it so much that as far as I'm concerned Boba was the one to fill in Din on the background lore about the fall of Mandalore and whatnot. Because we can all use a pair of maybe-Mandalorians bonding sitting on top of a rancor in our lives, no?

Also I had been dying to make this drawing for months now for @bobadinweek's AU bingo for my Canon Divergence slot.

#bobadin #bobadinaubingo #boba fett #din djarin #the mandalorian #the book of boba fett #tbobf #boba x din #my art #the mandalorian fanart #tbobf fanart #rancor #I'm 3/3 for adding a rancor to each of my bingo fills so far XD #I have massive plans for some of my other bingo slots #but with a bit of a reality check I'm desperately hoping for 2 more before the deadline #cross your fingers for me one of them is a Big One and has great chance of running away from me D: #I'VE DEVELOPED NEW APPRECIATION FOR BOBA'S ARMOR HERE!! #mostly because it's got a nice matte finish and isn't shiny and reflective as hell #am I using the same colour palettes for everything? yes #should I change that? probably but I'm comfortable with my burple shadows and red bouncelight thank you #should I have resized a few things before finishing everything up? probably... oh well lessons for another time #this is what I get for working zoomed in too much and not sitting up properly to check my angles

Angoulême as Geralt’s false Ciri is a concept that always obliterates me. She’s introduced as Ciri, deconstructed as a hopefully avoidable future state of the real Ciri’s, and then blends back into Ciri when harmed in front of Geralt. She can only be Ciri when she’s bleeding, which luckily she does a lot. Angoulême is the photo of Ciri on the dashboard of the Hanza’s van that they all stare at as a reminder of what they’re truly after. Angoulême reminds Geralt of what it’s like to be a father, but makes him ever farther from it because she is still False and the absence in him has a shape now. To parent her would be wrong because that’s not his daughter that’s just a girl. He parents her anyway. Angoulême is the doll given to a grieving mother who needs something baby-shaped to hold. And it is comforting. You start to love the doll as a doll too. The doll has her own clothes now, she answers when you speak to her.

On the other hand: Ciri is both a princess and a street rat, but she’s most importantly neither of those things. Those two false but very real roles that she runs from and into are so overwhelming to her narrative that they exist as people in the story: The False Cirilla in Emhyr’s court, and Angoulême in Geralt’s Hanza. False Cirilla and Angoulême, but especially Angoulême are characters of their own who I hate that I sound like I’m downplaying or tossing aside as nothing but imagery to further Ciri’s story, but also you can’t talk about either of them without talking about how they overlap and grow off of Ciri like a cell in mitosis.

Angoulême is here because Geralt loves Ciri, False Cirilla is here because Emhyr has a daughter-shaped cage that collapses unless it’s filled. The two fathers confront the reality of their daughter while staring at a girl who they have no relation to, but it’s alright, they realize what they need to realize anyway. There was no medicine in that pill, it was just sugar, you got over the pain on your own, good job.

And then we reach the bloody ending and it hits us that Angoulême is so much more that Ciri, and that we love Angoulême too. That we and Geralt and the story were cruel to try and twist her into this shape, she’s such a great kid, she deserves her own story she’s going to be such a woman. Fuck this post Angoulême isn’t Ciri Angoulême is Angoulême and these comparisons are getting so old and played out. Then she dies in Ciri’s arms.

#yeah I did ​just finish my tower of swallow reread how can u tell #this has all definetly been said before. I just had to rant a little cause it was making me insane #AND THEN SHE DIES IN CIRIS ARMS ……. SHUT UP!!!!!!!!!! #angoulême #angouleme #the witcher books #cirillia #ciri #double shot

Thinking about the triumvirate that makes the whole: Fitz, Nighteyes, the Fool. Thinking about how Fitz can never let go of the past. Constantly looking back, reliving his life's events, dwelling on regrets. A storyteller and a chronicler of histories. Thinking about Nighteyes and his wolf’s mindset of the Now. Always reminding Fitz that it’s useless to worry about things that are already done and can’t be changed, or about things yet to come that are out of reach. The only thing that matters is the moment you’re in. Thinking about the Fool, the literal White Prophet, reading the threads of all possible futures and guiding them onto the paths and patterns he desires. Eyes always fixed on the future, always focused on what comes next. Human, wolf, prophet. Past, present, future.

#also... unformed thought about bee being a literal product of this triumvirate and containing all of these facets within herself #but i still have one book left so that might be a whole thought by the time i finish the series #idk is this all super obvious? it makes me crazy tho lol #from the mind of someone who has freshly finished fool's quest #rote reading updates! #realm of the elderlings #robin hobb #fitzchivalry farseer #the fool #nighteyes

Fuck it. Have some Mistborn Series memes:

Re-read The Final Empire this weekend and made some memes

Bonus:

…more to come as soon as I finish TWOA

#mistborn #the final empire #sorry these are mostly Vin-focused she’s just the funniest character #BREAKING NEWS: LOCAL ANGRY WET KITTEN MURDERS GOD #Did anybody else read this series?? just me?? #no spoilers on the remaining books as I never finished them but am now planning to read them ASAP #Reading this again the fact that Vin slowly obtains more and more dads as TFE progresses is the funniest plotline in any fantasy novel #Chap 1: zero dads. in fact a negative number of dads #Chap 50-something: average person has one dad. Spiders Vin who is adopted by everybody who meets her and has 10000 dads is an outlier
