it'd be easier to show you 😭 so the screenshots are under the cut in case other people who haven't read it yet see this and don't want to be spoiled. but yeah, it reads a lot like she was trying to make a point, used james and cordelia to do it, and as a result made them ooc, especially james.

Conor's complicated relationship with the colour red.

°we find out early on (from the first pages of Sword Catcher) that Conor doesn't like red hair and it was a deal breaker for him in an arranged match.

° We find out that he paid Silla to stay with him while he rested because the colour of her hair closely resembled Lin's (and he called her by Lin's name), a weird occurrence to Kel since Conor has never expressed any interest in Silla and has said to find red hair unattractive.

°When they're kissing at the ball Conor takes down the clasps from Lin's hair so they could fall down and he breathes her in. He does the same later on when he's trying to comfort her.

°There's a line somewhere towards the end of Ragpicker King where Kel thinks that the cape Conor is wearing flows behind him as he leaves, and it reminds him of Lin's hair. It is a moment of tension for Conor who just got rejected by Lin, denying him even a bit of happiness, and he wears her colour on him, as a way of comfort.

°Now, I don't remember if this is specifically stated in the books, but there have been several posts about his favourite colour being red because it's the colour of Castelline. While Lin's favourite colour is gold.

Gold doesn't need much explanation. It's Conor's family colour and he's seen wearing it throughout most of the book.

While in Conor's case, I doubt that Red would be his favourite colour since he's so against it in the beginning of the book and only ever wears gold. He starts incorporating red after he meets Lin, after he already associates it with her.

One of my favorites fan art of Daenerys.

I can tell you part of it was older James on his deathbed, and as he lay dying seeing all of his friends who had died so horribly so long ago waiting for him on the other side, and thinking how he had never had friends again like the ones he had when he was young.
