Jade Legacy spoilers but I can’t get over the imagery of Shae and Anden eating instant noodles in Anden’s apartment while Ayt Mada is lying on his sofa

Shae and Woon are peak embodiment of girlboss and malewife, I love it

This series has me in a chokehold so here are the Pillars of The Mountain and No Peak clans Ayt Mada and Kaul Lan from The Greenbone Saga

the worst part about the poppy war trilogy was that it’s not enemies to lovers.

it’s enemies in love.

Aster: Honestly I’m not even sure if the Surgeon likes me that much sometimes....

Theo, 5 min later: Aster did you kill our head of government?? Because I’m 100% down to cover up a murder for you but I gotta know so I can be ready to lie to the authorities

the gender nonconformity of An Unkindness of Ghosts is rooted not just in personal identity but in the desperate need to break out of a binary of victim/victimizer. Aster chooses a hysterectomy to get out of a eugenic breeding program, and crossdresses to gain more freedom of movement. Theo’s non-manhood and obsessive pursuit of ‘goodness’ are connected. they each, very badly, want to meet each other on neutral ground, without an unwanted power dynamic between them, whether it is gendered or racialized.

“Don’t you dare,” Dorian interrupts him. “Don’t you dare make this goodbye. I am going to find you. We are going to find each other and we are going to figure this out together. You may be by yourself but you are not alone.”
