1. Helpless

The first time, Anaranë had known she was helpless. She cowered in the dark Scribes’ Guild, mangling her pipe stem in her nervousness as the sounds of battle raged around town. She was a civil citydweller! She had no business getting caught in anything bigger than a pub scrap! The bandits of this outlaw frontier cesspit didn’t seem to care, though. Ana had clutched her walking stick - because that’s all it was - and tried not to hyperventilate.

The next time was worse. They’d locked her in the tavern “for safety”. The town was empty. She couldn’t even leave to grab her tray of wares, prepare for the inevitable wounded! She shook and cursed and swept the whole building.

Eventually, she learns. Her walking stick becomes a staff. Her breakfast pan is reforged, fatally bolstered. She learns defense, a few dirty tricks. The gibberlings are the first to taste her ire, and she revels in the way they scream and shriek under her. No longer will she be at the mercy of every invading force that Misthaven suffers! Her apothecary goes longer and longer between raids! The townsfolk begin to seek her out specifically when their fae beasties grow problematic!

The trip to Unity had been… rough. Her staff was useless. Her engraved leather guard tore under the elemental onslaught. She fell. Helpless.

They’d lost Turin. Ana wished the fighters well, marketed her potions, locked up the shop as normal. Just another Misthaven battle. The injured, pouring back in through the gate, brought a gloom with them unfelt in town before. She attended the funeral; it was all she could do. Helpless.

They lost Misthaven. The tree, damaged; the barrier, obliterated. The temporal magic radiated through the buildings, tearing stone from floors and beams from walls. The place she’d clawed her way up from shame and abandonment. Her home away from home. She leaves with the rest of the Mistfolk, because it was all she could do. Helpless.

They lost Finch and Kalasta. She waits. She comforts Isaac and takes comfort from him; all she could do. Helpless.

They recovered Finch and Kalasta. Rather, someone else did. She’d been ready to go! She hadn’t been ready for them to come back. They flinch from others, curl into each other. They won’t take her potions. She comforts Isaac some more. Helpless.

They lose Isaac.

i feel like the tumblr perverts need to be aware of the forcefem novel written in 1901 by a trans woman patient of magnus hirschfeld, wherein:

a lesbian hypnotises her girly stepson into believing he is a woman

then she hypnotises his father her husband into shooting himself when he tries to stop her

then she proceeds to live as a man and convince her stepson that he is HER WIFE

AND THEN WHEN THE COUPLE WANT KIDS (AS SHE HYPNOTISED HIM TO) SHE HAS HIS CHILD AND CONVINCES HIM THAT HE GAVE BIRTH TO IT

AND DECIDES TO RAISE THE BABY AS A GIRL EVEN THOUGH IT WAS BORN MALE

AND THEN FINALLY ON HER DEATHBED CONFESSES EVERYTHING TO HER WIFE

WHO REFUSES TO BELIEVE ANY OF IT

the author's pen name is luz fraumann (yes she actually named herself "woman-man") and i wish i could tell her she's literally insane for this bestie and also how hard she would do numbers on tumblr dot com

(link to hirschfeld's profile of fraumann and extract from her novel, in german)

Forgot to upload this earlier with the sketch dump bc the file wasn’t working for some reason

Anyway you know that thing that’s done in movies when the two characters in love just stare at each other but the camera shifts to only one of their faces and you can notice all the little details of their eye like how their pupils dilate and as they just look at every part of their partner’s face ugh. Idk why it feels so intimate but it’s so good

But yeah here’s a sketch of that lol

Percy, who had finally accepted to bear the burden of the great prophecy after agonizing over it for years only for everyone to repeatedly tell him in the final book that he's not the hero and its not about him:

mari and travis’ comments about “two versions of reality/do you ever wonder whose reality we’re in” had me thinking about how we viewed the pilot hunt vs s3 finale hunt — both being different realities of the situation and how it’s changes how i view the finale now.

like travis said, do you ever wonder whose reality we’re in? and for the pilot we’re in the outsiders pov/reality bc we don’t know the yj’s all we know is that we witnessed some cannibalistc cult in the wilderness who hunt with death traps and in that moment we’re like the scientists and guide who stumbled upon them and witnessed the horrific scene of a decapitated coach scott with a bunch of feral children howling at the moon, dancing around a fire and eating human flesh in the wilderness.

but by s3 finale? we see the actual reality of the situation bc we now know the yj and their story (not all but up to what the pilot shows). we see how all the yj survived the loss and trauma with all the fucked up & unforgivable things they did. we see how they each fuel each other in different ways that pushes everyone to breaking points & pivotal changes. we come to learn that mari wasn’t suppose to be pit girl and that she wasn’t being ritualistically hunted by all of them, just shauna bc they were trying to keep her distracted for natalie to escape for rescue. we learn that it was travis who built the spikes into the pit that was meant to kill lottie bc he felt trapped by her influence on the girls, that van was looking into the pit only to be find out she’s broken by mari’s death, that gen tried to help her friend and was then forced to drag and string up her dead naked body and cry while eating her, that hannah (someone just trying to find frogs) was forced to butcher a teen girl to not expose their plan of escape. that misty wasn’t smiling bc she’s enjoyed the violence of the hunt but bc as the shot in the pilot pans to the mountain she’s happy bc they outsmarted shauna so natalie could go find rescue.
