The will to do what others will not

resurrecting this blog just to shamefully promote a fic I’ve written. anyway if you want a very biased scaeva character study. it’s here

Honestly Itreyan democracy was already very much not working I don’t think Scaeva would have worsened things that much. He deserved a chance at least :(

Scaeva and Alinne were just trying to outgaslight outgatekeep and outgirlboss each other :/

“But how is it possible for no one to have understood Scaeva was trying to claim absolute power?” Itreyans lived in a city called Godsgrave, daily saw a place made of bones called ‘The Ribs’ and never connected the two fucking dots. I think it’s not too far-fetched.

listen i KNOW Kristoff didn’t think this through because he doesn’t even know Latin properly, let alone Roman law, but one of the most interesting things I’ve noticed is that Mia said that being darkin could get you crucified. Now, since Itreya, especially politically speaking, is inspired by the Roman Republic, it’s worth noticing that Roman citizens could NOT get crucified, because It was considered a HUGE humiliation and far too atrocious for a Roman citizen to endure. Only non-Romans and slaves could get crucified. This brings... an interesting perspective, to say the least, to how darkin were considered, right?

I like the idea of each passenger being protective and somehow jealous of everyone else their darkin interacts with/cares about. I mean apart from Eclipse (who had just lost Cassius and was greiving) neither Mister Kindly nor Whisper seem to care at all for people who aren’t Mia or Scaeva, even if the other person in question is darkin.

So. Piera Forde officially announced that we WILL get more Nevernight on-screen and that it won’t be a web-series. Currently freaking out rn.

If I thought about a Nevernight event of some sort to live up the fandom a bit (since it’s dead), would anyone be interested in it?👀

The comedic potential in 8-year-old Mia having a nightmare, waking up and running into her parents bedroom just to discover that 1) her mother is not there (I wonder where she is *wink wink*) 2) Antonius is apparently sharing the bed with her father

I also have the impression that if coffee were a thing in Nevernight Scaeva would consume a worryingly high quantity of it. He just gives me that vibe

The comedic implications of none of the noblemen knowing Scaeva and Alinne were a thing vs the comedic implications of every single one of them knowing and pretending not to
