it makes me sick to my stomach that if nezha hadn't been a coward and dared use his shaman powers before, they could've easily taken down daji's empire way earlier and beaten the hesperians too...
i also think after the mugen genocide, there was no way back for rin. she had already gone insane and the ongoing war, if anything, kept her mildly sane and with a goal. there was nothing after war for her. the phoenix was going to keep her seeking destruction and revenge against anything
Even though I love Nezha and ship him with Rin, I don't see him being someone Rin needs or would love, so much so that she didn't love him for a long time anyway.
His mind was always very closed, he was never able to see the world beyond his father's eyes, or was unable to believe that there could be a world beyond what his father believed.
And Rin, being a war orphan who grew up in a small town and with dark skin, knows that the world under the vision and control of people like Yin Vaisra didn't contemplate people like her.
While Rin was alive, Nezha was not able to see a world that worked through Rin's vision, because Rin being alive meant the eternal risk of more and more wars because of the Hesperians, and he preferred false peace through Hesperian colonization than the rebellion for the independence of a sovereign country that embraced people like Rin.
Nezha loved Rin so much, but she wasn't enough and Rin knew it. She knew that as long as she was alive, not even Nezha, who was once her friend/ally, would give her peace. She knew that she would not be a good ruler, so she accepted that, after destroying the entire greatest force that would make Hisperia sovereign over Nikara, the best option to rule Nikara was Nezha.
Unfortunately, Nezha was too cowardly, his mind was too closed, his racist views were still too strong, his belief in Rin was too weak.
Imagine what it would have been like if he had believed in Rin and stayed by his side, I highly doubt Hisperia would have had any chance of winning, no matter how hard they kept trying.

STOP making me think about rinezha. i can't do it anymore. enemies to enemies slow burn. enemies to begrudging allies to friends to *almost* lovers. then betrayal, and then they're just enemies who used to be in love. and they both *know* that they were in love, and maybe they are still in love, but they stand on opposite sides of a war because they've both made their decisions and cannot come back from them. there can never be reconciliation for the things they've done to each other, but god, they're still in love. i am literally eating drywall over them

You guys who have not read The Poppy War need to know that the main character gets her first period and immediately decides to have her womb removed and then she proceeds to bring that exact energy to everything she does for the rest of the series

The emphasis on how Ruhn says “I’m yours” not the other way round because for the past 15 years Lidia has been Polluxs property and has not been free since her father stole her away. She belongs to nobody but Ruhn is worshipping her and saying he is hers and I think that’s just so beautiful 🥹

Tharion Ketos and Ithan Holstrom share a single brain cell, but neither of them has it. Who knows where it is? Not them, that’s for sure.

Lews Therin Telescope: In Way of Kings, Hoid’s monologue talks about three great talents: Invention, Artistry, and Intellect…
Brandon Sanderson: We’ll just stop that one right there. Hey, you’re smart. We’ll stop there. Special RAFO; I’m not even finishing your question.
I know what you’re gonna ask, and you’re very smart. Go pat yourself on the back; you’re very smart.
