Resolutions can lead to guilt
So instead, I remind you:
Start as you mean to go on.
Also: it’s never too late to start.
Lastly: Make Bad Art.
Mole god original sketch by Megan Whalen Turner. “Make Bad Art” addition inspired by Oftheides on Geninsula. Embroidery by me.

Oh, you married the older sister (?) of the friend/crush you connected with on a dangerous adventure as a teenager? She has some gender stuff going on and was pretty much the only person who could get through to him when he was extremely ill after one of the most traumatic experiences of his life? On a scale of Jerott Blyth to Sounis Sophos, how well did it go?

In honor of the QT merch drop I want to share another patch I made because I love these books more than I can handle.
Hamiathes’s Gift the way I imagined it with the help of a geology degree and the letters on the third(?) edition of The Thief.

Ok so I’m not done talking about Moira’s Pen and Gen and Irene’s kids.
Because I really don’t think it’s a tragedy that they didn’t end up “A King and his Thief”.
First off, I do not think “Immakuk and Ennikar and the Gates of Heaven” would have been a “story of an old king that ends well” to Gen if he truly had lost both his children and regretted his life and choices regarding them.
Secondly, Gen tried to convince Irene to leave with him, multiple times.
“Relius, he hates being king.”
Do you think Gen and Irene would force their children into lives they would hate?
“You have offered me escape from the cesspit of my family and this court.”
I think Gen especially has always excelled at thinking outside of the available options, and when cornered, has elected to cut the knot rather than give in. He gave Sophos the gun.
He gave Dite his freedom. Why wouldn’t he do the same for his own son?

All the posts about “please change your icon so we know you’re not a bot” are missing the strongest point: only one person on this website has the right to stick with the default icon forever, and it’s Megan Whalen Turner. The rest of y’all have to pick something else

I've been listening to the Queen's Thief books and I feel like if Costis and Beshalar met each other, Beshalar would hate Costis from the time he found out that Costis punched Gen until approx. 2.3 seconds after he interacts with Gen for the first time and is like, "ah."
He still Disapproves but like, he understands.
