I Have Never Been Wise

the average ROTE meta post on tumblr: where do the fictional constraints of female oppression end and the real-world implications of RH's innately ingrained view on gender roles begin? How does the intersectionality of the Fool's gender expression and his need to manipulation circumstances to his/fate's advantage negatively and positively impact both the broader story and the overall message being projected throughout the work regarding gender non-conformity and the increasingly nebulous concept of "the one true self"? Is there such a thing as self determination or merely self-deception within varying layers of societal privilege? What does the positing of the inherently invasive Skill as a noble, desirable magic versus the far more mutually consensual Wit as a base and reprobate magic imply when examined through the lens of Wit as queerness and Skill as intimacy? Does authorial intent truly merit the final word in regard to widely recognized, consistent patterns of behavior and strong suggestions of undisguised desire between two apparently "platonic" friends? How does Hobb's attempt at commentary regarding societal oppression and cultures of violence fall short and what aspects of political upheaval and organized rebellion does she actually portray successfully?

heads up that I am NOT talking about asexual fitzloved headcanons but whats with the separate category of people trying to sell fitzloved as having a relationship "purer than sex"…?? that is not actually as much of a progressive thing to do to queer couples in media as some of you think
