Fitz x Celerity queerplatonic ship, anyone?

[moashdeservedbetter]

It's difficult for me to understand how much Fitz gets thrown under the bus--especially in Royal Assassin--while the Fool is just presumed wiser and more benevolent. The Fool may have a crush on Fitz by then, but he loves King Shrewd wayyyy more and it shows. The Fool is like, why ever don't you personally see to it that Shrewd is taken care of and wait on his many needs even though you've raised this issue with Chade multiple times and you have extremely little power over the situation? As if King Shrewd is a benevolent figure in Fitz' life. Considering that Shrewd probably gave Fitz away to Regal so that Fitz could *die,* and considering that Shrewd very nearly had Fitz killed as a young child, and considering that Shrewd is singlehandedly responsible for taking every kind of agency away from Fitz (making him become an assassin, making him court Celerity, dictating his many assignments) I think Fitz loves Shrewd a damned lot. And yet the Fool has the gall to repeatedly guilt trip Fitz about King Shrewd, EVEN IN THE VERY CONVSERATION where Shrewd pointedly reminds Fitz that if he was "dismissed," he might have made sure Fitz never grew up at all. wtf man. The Fool looks up at Fitz with tears brimming his eyes in this look of huge betrayal because Fitz has been avoiding Shrewd, who has decided that Fitz--who does not get any of the deference of being royal--has to wed Celerity (a fourteen year old girl he had to politely interact with on an assassination mission for Shrewd). The Fool is hardly there for Fitz during hard times (like? Almost never besides the time Galen tries to kill him, and then just to lead Burrish there?) and ALSO the Fool basically told Fitz to consummate his relationship with Molly in his song (something like "you hold back your passions when you should be consummating them instead?), and then his big personal reveal is "hey! The whole Fate of the World rests on your shoulders and I'm going to use you to fix everything!" which actually *is* a wild thing to say in fact. Actually. And would terrify anyone. Honestly I just don't read the Fool as *actually caring* about Fitz very deeply on an emotional level during first era Buckkeep. Like he cares as the prophet, and he cares as a friend-ish, and he's probably developed some Feelings, but he doesn't really look out for Fitz beyond a tactical capacity. (Fitz, I think, looks out for the Fool rather more in that respect, and takes great care with what the Fool might be feeling and why. And he actually apologizes a few times). I guess half of what I'm feeling is that Fitz cares so much about people--even those he shouldn't care about (cough cough Shrewd, Chade after taking Nettle), and so many of his decisions come from trying to do the right thing while facing impossible choices. And he gives up so much in the way of personal justice (ie any reparations or safety or revenge concerning Regal). I just love Fitz. I really love Fitz. I think his choices make sense, given the experiences he's had and the information he's given and the options before him. And when the Fool loves Fitz, I love him too, but when the Fool sides with Fitz' oppressors and abusers (Shrewd, Chade in AQ) it hurts all the more because the Fool should be in Fitz's corner. When, at least in the first trilogy, the Fool just isn't. His first loyalty is always to something else (the Farseer throne and line, dragons etc) and in the first trilogy especially, he hasn't learned to try to balance that first loyalty with Fitz' needs and lived experiences. In fact in the first trilogy (or at least up through RA), he doesn't even seem aware that such a thing should matter much in the first place.

Honestly, how the fuck did Fitz think writing a long ass letter about his feelings and struggles would quench Celerity's crush. Sure, it worked temporarily when her sisters mocked her but only until Brawndy pointed out what I was yelling at Fitz during my first read. He's making himself so attractive!! Humble, vulnerable, emotional, open, honest... what is there not to like?? He should have send his first stupid letter. With a polite reply Brawndy wouldn't have been offended and Celerity ill-pressed to find something to reply to. Goddammit, Fitz.

[whatkindofnameisella]

IT HAPPENED!!

356 pages into royal assassin and im feeling the first rumblings 😎

[rainwilds]

What happens to Celerity? Do we ever find out? I’m rereading the Farseer trilogy and I’ve got to the point in Assassin’s Quest where Fitz is on his way to Tradeford, but in the chapter opening section in italics it talks of Duke Brawndy and how after his death his daughters continued resisting the Raiders and I suddenly wonder what becomes of them. I can’t remember the name of her sister, or anything about her, just that Celerity was sweet even if she wasn’t who Fitz loved and I really can’t remember anything about her beyond the bit where Shrewd wanted Fitz to marry her. I hadn’t even remembered until this reread that she and Fitz had met and were friendly.

[cosmere-cat]

This is gonna backfire so badly I just know it

Like

What fitz thinks he looks like: common oarsman, oaf, coward, invalid

What celerity will see: hard working, sincere, brave, fights for his country

[llycaons]

oh boy what a chapter

1. death is not the opposite of life but the opposite of choice.

2. so the fool is once again implied heavily to be canonically In Love With fitz. the kiss in AQ, 'my true love' in liveship, and now 'I had all these strange new feelings last time we were together and embarassed myself haha but I have to remember that what I yearn for isn't as important as my destiny' okay beloved. actually I remember losing my mind reading AQ and I can definitely see the fool falling in love. there were a lot of cozy nights in that book where fitz and him slept in the same bed

3. he's a lot more silly and extroverted than amber was. I was confused when I read liveship bc her personality was so different, but maybe it's fitz. maybe fitz is what makes the fool so energetic and joyful and bright and goofy. and he encourages fitz to do what he likes and makes him happy 🥺

4. as inherently codependent as they are, it really is the most positive relationship they could get out of it

5. BOY WITH A HUNTING CAT? will we meet him? maybe it's nettle...👀

6. celerity survived!! yayy!

7. omg bingtown mentioned. they were xenophobic to fitz!! I'm glad he was dismissive of their magic tho. not a greedy fellow

8. he saw slaves, so this must have been before the events of liveship traders. maybe he and amber just missed each other. what was SHE doing for those three years?

9. molly having 5 sons by burrich, who has white hair when molly must be in her late 20s? ugh. hideous. god molly I am so sorry it would have been better to just be a single mom with burrich as a friend but that wouldn't have forced fitz to stay away now would it. well at least molly looks happy. I don't gaf about burrich. oh but refusing to give nettle up when she was sick did get me

10. fitz mentioned dutiful as his other child early on but rejects it here. and he really isn't! fitz's body was used as a tool to ensure the line. he has no personal connection to the child that was produced from the sexual hijacking of his body. which was done without his knowledge or consent

11. admitting it here to the fool is maybe the most vulnerable we've ever seen him? that's a hard thing to talk about

12. kettricken not knowing also is FUCKED tho. she didn't agree to using fitz's body like that! I mean, she probably would have but still

13. 'It is not my place to question Verity's will' you break my heart you do!!! this is actually part of what drove me crazy abt the first trilogy. the deification of bloodline, enshrined in magic systems. too monarchist for me

[lesbianboyfriend]

have to wonder if the duke of bearns would be so gung-ho about putting fitz on the throne if he knew fitz had no intention of marrying celerity

[janeways-coffees]

Fitz: i will now make her not like me by being honest

Celerity : ohh the poor boy i love him

[bogreader]

lmaooo fitz writing a letter of all the reasons celerity shouldn't marry him

"here's all my red flags and why i would be a useless husband"

[quinocks]

fitz is addicted to laudanum. verity died of consumption. somehow shrewd is still trying to set up fitz and celerity.

its too late. the fitzloved regency au is already in the works.
