FIRST step to enjoying any media is getting attached to the character whose suicidal tendencies are the most obvious

When you say two characters should be in a QPR everyone thinks of cuddling and innocence, but we've been sleeping on the toxic QPR. Of course, neither character would refer to their relationship with that term, which is fine because in most interesting romantic ships neither party would ever say that what they're doing is 'dating'.

okay so iirc, the total White Person Count for the series is

human-battery Hafn kid

nameless POW whose body Jedao uses at one point

Nirai fucking Kujen

if I had a nickel for every time I emailed an author I deeply respected to ask whether or not one of my favourite characters who might be asian is instead white and the answer was yes I'd have two nickels

sort of obsessed with kujen's secret research storage moon base that he visited for a monthlong sex vacation to every 100 years. that's kind of nice man... he deserves that

checking the timeline of hexarchate stories for a thing and the way this made me stop dead in my tracks jaw hanging open. nirai esfarel was a HEPTARCH? I had to open every single epub I had and confirm he was only mentioned in that one kujen chapter in raven strat + mahar convo in revgun he wasn't just some other guy kujen put in the black cradle with himself he was the FORMER NIRAI HEPTARCH? how will this affect the mandate of heaven

somewhere in the multiverse there is a world where wizards are real and can cast one spell: kill you with cancer

at some point seeing all the baru cormorant stuff out of context combined with your other posting generally lead me to believe that it was somehow a series of light novels and i finally googled it to figure out exactly what it was 😭

Huge shame Baru lives in a world without crypto. The woman was born to set up a cryptocurrency with the full intent of destabilizing the government only to inadvertently rugpull the people who trusted her

before i stared making a conlang i was deeply enamored with the line in ninefox gambit that calls Kujen's verb forms "almost disparaging" because i read that as alluding to multiple forms of formality and i think that's cool but now that i'm actually doing it and i have seventeen verb endings and no conjugations in sight,,, i think like two is fine
