so you know how book authors, when they write the newest book, always include a description of the characters when we first meet them in the newest book, even though we already know what they look like? like, an example is sophie's incredibly gay description of biana in every book. we already know what biana looks like because we've read the first book, so this is redundant, but it's just convention to re-describe the characters' physical appearance with every book. this is obviously not exclusive to just kotlc, it's just a thing that book authors do.
this means that in the marella short story, we will most likely get a description of fintan.
guys. we could get a confirmation of fintan's hair length. it's not likely, but we could. yes, fintan's been in six books and has had no mention of his hair length. but didn't shannon finally address the fintan hair-length discourse with her statement that she pictures fintan with both long and short hair? maybe . . . just maybe . . . we might get canon fintan hair length? maybe? i know this is too much to ask, but i can't help but hold out hope. i know i'm probably wrong, but hey. you never know.
although if she does confirm it but says that it's short i will simply be rejecting that information and pretending it doesn't exist. although i don't see how that's possible. he's locked in a block of ice with nothing to cut his hair with. so even if it was short at first, it should have grown. and honestly, that strengthens my argument that long-haired fintan might be confirmed in marella's short story. because there had really been no reason to mention fintan's hair length in previous books, but now, shannon could insert a quick line like "his hair had grown even longer since the start of his imprisonment." something quick like that would be relevant to showing how much time has passed, as well as confirming what we all already know in our hearts and souls: that fintan has long hair.
