They slash them who will slash you

do u think if Theia stayed an archivist (or even if she goes back which. kinda doubt a lil) would she have ever gotten to get her own version of the really cute loupes Lady Niliuca has

“you cant ship them theyre sibling coded!!” and it’s just two people who are friends

just had a disconcerting thought

i like when fiction treats love as a more complicated force and not something that is inherently pure or redemptive. portray it as flawed and complex as any other human impulse. give me love as prejudice, love as possessive stasis, love as addiction, love as blindness, etc.

liking a ship but disliking the distinct set of stock fanon that they have been assigned is like one of those punishments dante came up with when he wrote the worldbuilding for hell in inferno

i love a morally grey ruthless woman who will do whatever it takes to achieve her goals (that she believes are for the greater good) and is also constantly wracked with guilt about what she's had to do but can't show it so she just comes across as cold and unfeeling to everyone

books should have a bloopers section with all the most memorable typos
