wwx is the worst and I love him so much

the Second would be Dragons (look. I'm right.), and the Fourth Dzur, the Fifth Lyorn, the Sixth Vallista (Hawk/Athyra/Iorich), the Seventh Issola or Tiassa, the Eight... really weird Athyra? you could steal Lyorn from the Fifth but erm. Or Iorich for the contract with the Ninth but that's so mean.

You'll note I didn't say anything about the Third and that's because they are a headache. Tentatively they can get Issola or Yendi. (I really liked Issola for the Seventh :/)

Jhereg for the Ninth. For reasons of place in the Cycle, you understand, not of role.

and before that they did Furi (bullet hell).

I know any one thing, even big thing, can be wrong, because the factual chronology at the beginning of one of the biggest of the biggest expositions in one of our biggest national museums contained a factual mistake about which African country was the first to get its independence.

"you're dating a 35yo, you sick fuck!!"

"in Easterner years that's 800! by Easterner standards he's older than me!"

"and what was your Easterner-standards-800yo-bf doing during the Interregnum? That's right, nothing, because he wasn't born yet."

"No she's right, 35 is a grown adult for Easterners. They age super differently. My Easterner girlfriend is 17 and that's fine!"

"That's like dating a 100 year old, what is wrong with you."

"Did you hear the rumor about Kiera being lovers with that Easterner Jhereg? Rumor has it they've been together for years."

"Isn't he like. 40?"

"No, he's 20 at most. If they've been together for years that's not right of Kiera."

"Isn't she like really young too?"

"Not that young."

"I'm gonna be real, these numbers don't mean anything to me. You guys are arguing about whether it's more okay to date a 40yo than a 20yo, by the Orb."

"And this is why you should never ask a Dzur the last battle she lost, a Jhereg what they for work, and an Easterner their age."

"or you could just not date Easterners. which feels more than a little like bestiality."

"yeah, I know an Easterner who said the same thing about dating humans."

"If it's good enough for the Empress..."

(the pic about the knight in faceless armor protecting the frail light-skinned maiden with a shield from the attacks and the glances of the populace. it's got the knight imagery; the knight is faceless; the knight is protecting white womanhood; the maiden is depicted with cleavage that only the knight gets to look at...)

*bc a lot of depictions there hinge on ideas that are cohesive with alt-right depictions and ideologies

If, say, you wanted "Aliera backstory, but not the Paarfi version of it, feel free to make the tone as different from Vlad's voice as you want," or "Empress Zerika and the intrigues of her court" or "Sethra Lavode picks up gardening", those would be good prompts for Yuletide.
