i can reread tbg a thousand times but the second kitay gets up to fight rin i CRUMBLE. what do you mean rin never fought kitay before. what do you mean they fought everyone else at sinegard at some point, but they could never fight each other because they couldn’t stand the thought of trying to hurt the other, not even for pretend. what do you meannnnn

a collection of rinkitay’s love language being physical touch because platonic intimacy is so special to me

[lunarkkyu]

there is something so pure about rinkitay that just wretches you to your soul; the constant choice to forgive, to turn a blind eye, to sacrifice, because in a world that was unkind to rin, kitay knew that was enough; rin needed one person — at least one person — to be kind.

whereas rinezha was all about the tragedy of how love was there but it wasn’t enough, not when duty holds them both back; rinkitay was all about how sometimes, with the right people, with the soul that yearns for your own, love is enough.

yet in the end, all were doomed by the narrative in their own ways.

Back when studying at Sinegard and competing against a spoiled cry baby brat were the hardest parts of life 🥹

[lunarkkyu]

kitay was pure. he was the best person she had ever known. kitay shouldn’t know how it felt to call a god of vengeance. kitay was the last thing in the world that was still fundamentally kind and good, and she’d die before she corrupted that.

for @henwilsons, the other half of my soul.

i mourn the history that left with Rin’s last breath.

— no one will remember her as the girl who passed the Keju with only two years of studying under her belt

— no one will remember her as the girl who punched the Dragon Warlords son or the girl who defeated the Dragon Warlords son in the trials and won

— no one will remember her as the girl crazy enough to pledge to lore

— no one will remember her as the girl who had to endure torture in a Mugenese lab

— no one will remember her as the girl who gave the “broken” girl the chance to fight again

— no one will remember her as the girl who destroyed and saved her best friend

— no one will remember her as the girl who had to fight her whole life till the very end. all they’ll remember is a girl on fire, with so much rage, that it almost destroyed the country.

she saved nikara, she burnt it, and she gave it a second chance.

Rin from The Poppy War by RF Kuang

[lunarkkyu]

"Kitay held Rin's shoulders and kissed her on the forehead. That was their way of saying goodbye, their way of expressing everything they never said out loud. Good fight. Keep us safe. Love you."

I love their friendship

(It didn't turn out as expected, but I promise to improve over time.)

// Translation // tradução //

"Kitay segurou os ombros de Rin e a beijou na testa. Essa era a maneira deles de se despedirem, a maneira deles de expressar tudo o que nunca disseram em voz alta. Boa luta. Mantenha-nos seguros. Amo você."

Eu amo a amizade deles

(Não saiu como o esperado, mas prometo melhorar com o tempo.)

[lunarkkyu]

this is so “do you love him?” “yes. more than anyone else in the world” and “fight well. keep us safe. i love you.” and “he loves her. of this he is certain” and “is there anyone in the coalition you trust?” “venka” and “lovely, wonderful kitay” and “she would draw this moment out forever if she could” and “i left for you” and “i’ll hate you for it but i’ll love you forever” and “she terrifies him and he loves her so much it hurts” and “should’ve realized that venka was trying to save her life” and “kitay. her best friend. her anchor” and “ah, i get it. you’re in love” and “did they love one another so fiercely, so desperately?” and rin and nezha and kitay and venka

[lunarkkyu]

i will NEVER stop talking about “you’re hurting me”. there couldn’t have been better or more devastating last words for kitay. for so long he endured the pain every time rin called the fire. he never said anything. rin saw how much he was hurting, constantly asked him if he wants her to stop, but he always said no, always said he was fine because he never wanted to deny her anything. because he knew how important the fire was to her. the only time he denies her is at the very end, when rin loses her mind. and even then, at her worst, as she tries to overpower kitay, the SECOND he says “you’re hurting me” she stops. and not only does she stop, but it stops her descent into madness and she has one final moment of clarity. because “rin couldn’t hurt kitay and not worry about it. if she could, she’d be lost.”

[lunarkkyu]

CRAZY how Rin and Kitay just escaped from the Republic with the rest of the Cike then went into hiding in Speer just to find Altan still alive there with Chaghan, Qara, and Jiang (these were alive too??!). How rude of them though, to not let Rin and the rest know beforehand lol

[lunarkkyu]

Kitay was the first person Rin truly loved. Kitay was the last person Rin truly loved. Kitay was possibly the only person Rin truly loved.

GET YOUR FUCKING DOG, BITCH. SHE BITES
