now I have an idea what the freedom earring means now... the pale woman giving beloved a tattoo which is like a sign of ownership in chalced, then receiving a freedom earring from fitz... the fool basically got his freedom through fitz... then telling people her earring came from her one true love, the person who gave her her freedom. when fitz gave it to the fool, it was with the intention of passing it to burrich, but he ended up keeping it. It can also be a sign that "now you're free, free to wander around the world" and he did. then a slave in bingtown asked amber why she wanna help them or if she has her tattoo... she does, it's just not on her face/visible... wow wtf

Sometimes I wonder if I’m gaslighting myself into believing that more subtext exists between Fitz and the Fool then there actually is and then I open literally any page of any FitzCentric ROTE book and get punched in the chest with the most heart-wrenching, stomach dropping, life-alteringly lovesick pining I’ve ever read in all my time on this earth and I’m like “No, it was Robin who was mistaken.”

dutiful know him as tom and fitz, nettle know him as shadow wolf and changer, and here he is not liking people who play multiple roles lol

do you think the fool would love fitz as a dragon? nvm it'll be the best of both worlds to him.

every "my fool" from fitz added centuries to my lifespan

I wonder what'll happen in fool's fate bc I saw some readers saying "I prefer fitz and the fool trilogy ending than tawny man ending" or "it was bad in fool's fate" now I'm scared kakawkkalal meanwhile other readers said "you can end at tawny man if you want a closure, you can choose to read further or not" wkksnskw

okay I tried to ignore it but I just can't ignore it anymore: THE DOUBLE STANDARDS!!!! the difference between the handling of kennit/wintrow and reyn/malta and then there's this scene where davvie and lecter hold hands and hugged after seeing their dragons fly while harrikin lifted sylve then kissed her like ughhhhhhshshshaja akshshjsakakajha aksjshsuiwkahshsjsksw sjissjjakwkakaka lakajsndjwowowowjsnns
