Hi,
I have decided to permanently end this account, which I had been considering taking off hiatus upon the release of Tess of the Sea. I love Rachel Hartman’s work and plan to continue reading all she writes, but so much of this blog was based around shipping, and having recently turned 18, I no longer feel that it would be appropriate for me to be a shipper in this fandom with so many characters who are minors. Sticking simply to platonic incorrect quotes seems difficult, and like more of a challenge than I’m up to; the pairing of Glisselda and Seraphina has meant so much to me as a young queer person, and I just don’t know how to separate that from the content I want to make on this blog. Even the other stuff is starting to make me uncomfortable knowing the gradually increasing age difference between myself and the characters. I just don’t want to have to grapple with that going forward.
I absolutely welcome any DMs from people looking to discuss Rachel Hartman’s books with me - I’m still a huge fan, of course! But I don’t want to be one of those adults who makes sexual jokes about teenagers or writes romantic fanfiction about them or anything like it. Honestly, it would probably be okay for me to do so for a few more years as I’m still very close in age to the characters in question (younger, in fact, than Kiggs), but I don’t want to have to decide where that cutoff would be.
Thank you to everyone who’s supported me on this blog. It’s a small community, but I’m grateful for each and every one of you.
Penny

Hiatus Announcement
Hi, guys. I’m sure it seems like a weird time to go on hiatus since I’m suddenly at home all the time because of coronavirus, but honestly, I’ve been so stressed out that I don’t think I can keep up any of my Tumblr blogs anymore. I am planning to return to this at some point, perhaps in a few weeks, and perhaps only after this is all over and everything returns to normal. But right now, I’m just trying to institute a new set of personal daily routines and keep my life afloat, so although it might seem like the worst time to be abandoning regular activities, I actually think this is the right call. I’ve been feeling stressed out by Tumblr for a long time; this was just the straw that broke the camel’s back, I guess.
See you all in however long it takes me, or our world, to get back to normal. I love you guys, and I hope - more than anything - that you are able to stay safe and healthy. Remember to stay isolated, but not alone! And hang in there.
- Penny

Tess: Everyone has a bad cousin that teaches you a few things. Like how to pick pockets, how to hot-wire a car, how to put tacks in your shoe when you want to throw off a lie detector test...
Josquin: Which cousin was this?!
Tess: I’m the cousin.
