Fun tidbit for anyone who’s starting to read Asimov’s Foundation series:

Hober Mallow is canonically gay. Asimov doesn’t come out and say it but HO BOY does he imply it. See the scene where Mallow and his “friend” Ankor Jael are hanging out naked in a sunroom.

i'm obsessed with your story can we please get more??? maybe after 10years time skip like in the series. them having few kids and perhaps attending laena's funeral (she married someone else)

Warnings: Funeral of Laena 

Author note: Thank you for requesting! I loved your idea and got a little bit carried away. I did know for sure if you wanted it as a continuation of “wed by fire and blood” or my three part series so I left that kind up in the air. I hope you like it! 

Something Good | Daemon x reader

“Goodnight sweetheart.” you mumble while kissing your little boy on his forehead. Although according to your son he was not that little anymore. Similarly, to his father, your husband he too had the Targaryen silver hair and beautiful violet eyes as did all your children. He had the characteristics of his father too, blunt, headstrong, and hot-tempered, and even at the age of 8, he was a little warrior. Training with his father and little brothers in the courtyard or training his dragon all day long. He adored his father and as the oldest, he fiercely protected his younger brothers. “Jorrāelagon ao muña.”

After all those years and having three kids with a fourth coming on the way your heart still melted whenever one of your sons says it. Especially considering your oldest is no longer a mommy’s boy but rather wants to spend most of his time with his father.  Your hand goes to your growing belly rubbing it before standing upright. “Jorrāelagon ao tolī” you tell him after making sure he is well covered underneath the blankets. You doubt he had heard you as his soft snores can be heard through the room. You shake your head in amusement before making your way to the door. 

Before you make your way to the sitting room where Daemon is without doubt waiting for you, you check on your other children. Baelon your oldest was now allowed to stay up a bit later than his siblings. To the great displeasure of your second oldest Aedan. Your Aedan was only 6 years old but even he would do nothing rather than follow his older brother and his father around. Only recently Daemon had made him a little wooden practice sword and Aedan had taken it upon himself to terrorize the halls of Dragonstone with it. Even now when you opened the door of his room to check on him, the sword was lying next to him on the bed. 

You had put him to bed earlier in the night and because he was a light sleeper you quickly made your way back out of the room before he could wake up and demand to spend some more time with Daemon and you. Aedon was a little softer than his brother, the most charming of them all, but he also had a lot of energy and like his brother and father could be hot-tempered at times. When walking towards your youngest son you could already hear the sounds coming from his room. 

The youngest, Jael was the real troublemaker of the family only 2 and a half years old, but it is never a quiet day. He too has a lot of energy and is very headstrong, stubborn, and fearless. You opened the door quietly to see your son on the ground playing with his little dragon toy, making dragon noises, and trying to pronounce ‘dracarys’ correctly.  His real dragon was curled up next to the fire watching protectively over your little boy knowing what kind of hazard your youngest really was. All in all, it was adorable, but you did not want to deal with a grumpy sleep-deprived child tomorrow.  “You should be in bed little one.” His little head whips around to where you were standing. His little curls flopped about on his forehead. “Mummy.” He launched himself into your arms, already anticipating his moves you had crouched down and scooped him up into your arms. Your bulging stomach only being a slight inconvenience 

You ruffled his curls before placing him on the bed intending to cover him with blankets however neither of you had noticed Daemon who had made his way to his youngest bedroom as soon as he heard him scream ‘mummy.’ “It is a bit early for the little dragon to be awake, no?” before you can hold him back Jael had yet again made his way to his father. Who picked him up before throwing him in the air. “Careful.” You hiss protectively at their playful antics. Both of their laughs fill the room, and you smile at them loving the sight of your little family together. 

“It is time for bed little dragon.” Daemon throws him on the bed and your little son looks up at you with his big eyes. “But I do not want to sleep yet.” He mumbles at you throwing his little arms around your neck and laying his head in the crook in the safe place at your collarbone. “To become big and strong dragons, little dragons need to sleep.” You tell him while rubbing his back. “Shall I tell you a little secret?” Daemon asks while patting the bed. Your son retracts from you as his interest is now peaked by his father. Daemon tucks him into the bed covering him with the blankets and placing his dragon toy next to him. “We are going on a trip, all of us tomorrow, so you need to be well-rested for your mum.” Your eyes meet his and you look at him questionably “We are going to travel?” your son asked looking up in wonder.

He has heard the stories of Daemon and you traveling both Westeros and Essos but since you gave birth to him, your little family had not traveled a lot and now with you being pregnant again, Daemon did not want to risk your health, much to the disappointment of your youngest who loved to hear the stories of faraway lands but would even like it more to experience them. “Yes, to the family at Driftmark.” You look up at him even more surprised but decide to leave it till the two of you are in private. “How sooner you go to sleep, how sooner we can start the travel.” You mention. His little hands reach out to you while shutting his eyes tightly pretending to be asleep already. You give him one more hug and kiss his forehead before taking the hand of your husband and leading him out of the room. 

Daemon settles you down in one of the armchairs and before he can even plant his own bottom in a chair you ask the question that has been on your mind since he told Jael. “Why are we going to Driftmark husband?” Daemon sighs before standing up again and walking to the table. He hands over a scroll to you and remains standing next to you. “Laena died after failing to deliver birth.” In disbelief, you state the most important part of the letter. Without thinking about it you bring a hand to your stomach to confirm your babe is still there. Pregnancy remains a sore and sensitive subject even when you had given birth to three healthy sons in the past as so many women die either in childbirth or to the consequences of it. 

“My love, do not worry.” Daemon carefully takes your hand in his while pressing a kiss on it. “You have given me three healthy sons and I do not doubt for a second you will give me one more.” you smile up at him after ten years of marriage he knows what is on your mind without you even mentioning one word. “Who says it is another son?” You ask, after all, you had the suspicion that this one was going to be a girl. After all, your cravings had been different, the way your belly had formed, and they might be old wife’s tales, but you would love to have a little girl to round out your family. “Well, I already have you to protect, imagine me with a girl.” He lays his head against your belly feeling the soft kicks of babe. “Fair enough, the poor child.” You jest while taking your hand through his hair. 

“I was thinking maybe you should stay here, to not stress the babe and give you any discomfort.” You let off a huff in disbelief after hearing those words “I rather not Daemon, I told you on my wedding night wherever you go I go, and not to mention you are taking the children with you.” He signs in defeat knowing he was not going to talk you out of it. “And it is only a short distance to High Tide love if anything happens, we will be back within hours.” You reassure him further kissing the frown that was laying on his forehead. “But a woman in your condition.”

“Do not dare to finish that sentence Daemon Targaryen, I was almost 8 months pregnant with Baelon when you flew us to Pentos remember.” Your emotions play up at the mention of your ‘condition’ as if you were a weak creature in need of caring all day long. “forgive me, my lady.” Daemon tugs you up from the chair and pushes you in the direction of the bed. “Let me make it up to you.” You giggle like a young naïve maid at the prospects of your night. “That is the least you can do.” You jest once more before your knees hit the end of the bed and he pushes you to sit down. “Do not worry my lady, I do not settle till you are content again.” His lips find yours and with a little push, you are on your back on the bed.

“Stop trying to climb the wand!” Daemon almost screams after his tenth heart attack of today. Jael was giggling with a mischievous glint in his eyes while holding onto the ladder which leads to the crow’s nest of the ship. Since he saw one of the sailors climbing it, he had made it its mission to do the same. You were huddled on a couch underneath a canopy at the backhand of the ship with as many blankets as Daemon could fit around you and your other two boys were play fighting with their swords. “Why were we getting another one again?” Daemon sits closely next to you with Jael locked in his arms. “Because you are insatiable.” You give him a quick kiss meant for his cheek, but it ended up on his jawline. He groans and lets go of Jael who quickly makes his way toward you and curls into your side. He was quite aware that he was slowly getting on Daemon's bad side with his current behavior and while Daemon was surprisingly gentle and patient with his children even, he had a limit, a short one at that. 

“Dad, I see the castle!” Aedon screams excited both he and Baelon remembered their cousins well and because they were all similar in age they got along well. “Duty calls husband.” You shoo him towards where your children were standing at the bow of the ship. He groans and stands but not before giving you a kiss leaving you wanting for more when he walked away. 

When it was finally time to board off the ship your youngest was asleep, while the two oldest were jumping around in excitement giving Daemon yet again a heart attack as Aedon managed to almost throw himself between the ship and the dock when he had to jump off the ship. Daemon was shaking his head when he gently helped you down. “Remember you love them” You whisper in his ear with a big smile while he takes Jael, who is still sleeping in his arms. 

Your little family was welcomed by Laenor, Rhaenyra, Corlys, Rhaenys, and the children. Baelon and Aedon looked up for approval at you and when you gave them a smile and nod ran towards their cousins. Within seconds all children ran for the hills no doubt going to the beach. You hugged both Rhaenyra and Rhaenys after making a clumsy courtesy attempt. Daemon scoffed but said nothing at the display. Not disapproving of you but at the courtesy, you had to give after all you were a princess yourself after marring him. “Welcome to Driftmark it has been a long time.” Rhaenys greets you warmly before taking your hand leaving Daemon behind with Laenor and Corlys while the ladies and you make your way into the castle. 

After a little rest, you were all standing between the rocks a little bit away from the castle. All invited watched in silence as the coffin was slowly prepared to be buried in the water. Both Baelon and Aedon hands were firmly in yours as Daemon had an arm around your waist. Little Jael was back in the castle with Rhaenyra youngest Joffrey. Besides you Daemon tensed up at the words Vaemond Veraryon was speaking. “īlvon dakogon qumblie, īlvon dakogon drēje, se īlvon ēdruta dōrī vasrie.” Your high Valyrian was good enough to know that Vaemond was insulting the heir to the crown. Your husband's head turns sharply, and he lets out an eerie laugh drawing attention to him. You look at him, but he is looking down at the water and stones in front of him. Not meeting your eyes. 

Vaemond Velaryon continues the eulogy after a little moment of silence while the coffin is slowly pulled into the ocean. With a big splash of water, the coffin sinks deeper into the abyss. Both of your boys look up at you. “Why did father laugh?” Baelon asks. You kiss their foreheads still not having let go of their little hands. “Your father was calling out the hypocrisy of someone.” You answer shortly before shooing them to follow the others who are making their way toward a balcony overlooking the water. Daemon follows the three of you in silence. 

“Go to your cousins, get their minds off things,” you say to your boys when you notice them becoming restless at yours and Daemon's side. After all, the two of you are not doing more than having small talk with the people around you. You are a little bit off to the side with Daemon, him having a cup in his hands and looking dashing while leaning on the stone in front of you. King Viserys approaches the two of you and you feel the tension radiating from the two brothers. You take Daemon's hand in yours and squeeze before you make a small courtesy towards the king before walking towards the children leaving them a moment of privacy as they have not seen each other in a long time.

“Your boys are the spitting image of you; you must be proud.” Viserys breaks the silence first. Daemon does not say anything giving Viserys the chance to continue. “This day is a sad one and I find Aemma to be on my mind, the gods can be cruel.” Viserys looks at you and Daemon follows his glance. You were kneeling down to say something to Aedon who is looking furious at Aemond. “It seems they have been especially cruel to you.” 

You look back at the two brothers to find an angry look on your husband's face however Viserys lets out a laugh. Your hand is still on Aedon who is talking to you. But you understand little of what he is saying as you watch your husband. 

“Yes, you should return with us to King’s landing it is time that you and your family came home.” Viserys offers. “Dragonstone is my home and that of my children and wife, it is where Y/N is the most comfortable and wants to give birth.” “Daemon, I know we had our differences, but let them pass with the years, there is a place for you in my court, it is something you always have wanted.” Daemon feels the anger returning within himself. “I need… nothing. I have everything that I want right here.” He gestures to you and the children. “A loving wife, three healthy sons with another babe on the way, I do not need your pity or your hand-me-downs. I have something good going on here and I do not wish to destroy it by bringing them to court with those poisonous snakes.” Furious he looks at his brother before continuing his rant. “My family comes first.”

The crowd goes silent and watches the conversation between the king and his brother. You see him looking down before walking past his brother. With quick steps, he is in front of you. “Let us go, I have had enough of my family, and I want to be back at dragon stone before sundown.” He guides you with an arm around your waist towards the exit. “What happened?” you ask while herding your children and signaling a maid to get Jael. “My brother offered me a position at court, he asked me to come home.” You gasp. For years Daemon had hoped to return to King's Landing and get back into the good graces of his brother. “What did you say?” your hand laying on his cheek, his eyes boring into yours.

“That I have everything that I need, I have something good here and I do not wish to destroy it by being at court.”

Scarlet frustrations

So I'm rereading Scarlet (already finished Cinder reread, will infact be doing the whole series, probably) and I love it, it's so much fun, BUT I have some Thoughts

Specifically on the worldbuilding. Now I'm sur this is also a thing in Cinder, with the Eastern Commonwealth, but seeing as I am not asian and don't have an extensive knowledge of the different cultures within the continent, I can't speak for it

But France does not feel French, at all. It doesn't feel European at all.

The first thing that made me go 'absolutely not. Uh-uh. My suspension of disbelief will not take that.' Is the fact that Scarlet just carries a gun around, no lock, fully loaded AND has a PERMIT to do so?! Even tho she's just a FARMER?! Like, these days France has strict gun laws and pretty much no one can carry around loaded fire arms like that. It is simply not legal. (Military amd stuff that are on duty being the exception)

And that just started to make me extra aware of how US-american the entire thing feels.

In Paris, there's a motel, using the whole 'Sleep witg the ghost of dead civilians' refering to the people that died in the fourth world war. That just doesn't and would nkt happen pretty much anywhere in France (or Europe for that matter.) Because using the atrocities of war as a marketing gimmick for tourists is seen as (and honestly objectively just is) disrespectful.

There's also a few smaller things, like smelling bread from a patisserie, but patisseries tend to only make cakes 'n stuff. It's a boulangerie.

The train Scarlet and Wolf take from Toulouse goes past Montpellier to go to Paris, even though Montpellier is further away from Paris than Toulouse.

And a bigger cultural thing js that a bunch of important historic buildings that got destroyed during WW4, just never got repaired?? In a country that has laws in place to make sure most of (public) radio has French songs? And a whole institution dedicated to preserving the French language? They would just leave buildings the THE LOUVRE standing around in disrepair? Even if they'd decided that repairing would be too expensive (again unlikely. Look at how quickly they repaired the Norte Dame. Different situation ofcourse and that happened years afternpublication of Scarlet, but still) they'd level it and rebuild something else, I think?

And a last smaller thing is that they actually use the word 'mademoiselle', unironically, despite the fact that it's oldfashioned and hardly ever used in France anymore. It would've been fine, fun even, if Jael had used it and Scarlet had reacted all offended, cuz that is old fashioned and misogynistic!

And I get that some of it is just nitpicking, but the book could have just been set in the US, and it would've been fine. Or she should have done just a little bit of research, taken the time to google some of these things, it really would not have been that hard.

Again, I love the book, and the series as a whole! It js one of my favourite YA series. This I just gad to get off my chest a lil

Hello!

Im curious. Have you seen the animated series UNDERVERSE made by Jael Peñaloza?

She animated the whole thing by herself and it's on YouTube

I actually started to watch it awhile back, but I should really go back and finish it all. All the various AU Sanses is admittedly not a big interest of mine, but the animation was all really solid, especially for a small team! So maybe I'll go check back in with that soon.

FebruarOC - Xochitl

OOOHHHHHH SUSHI MY BELOVED!!!!!! She is my character for our Werewolf game (which we're playing TOMORROW) it had been on hold for four solid years due to pandemic (we play (mostly) in person) and life/job stuff, but we finally got to start playing again on NYE! Nothing like sounding in the new year trying to remember a game you haven't played in four years ;;;; 

(It was fine I killed something in one hit) 

Xochitl is the 5'3" alpha of her pack and team dad (her beta, Rory, huge 6'something, is team mom). One of the first notes I made for her was that her fighting style is: (ง •̀_•́)ง !!! and a little bit of (*｀ω´)/――――― ●)´Дﾟ) I was nervous about picking up the role of alpha originally, but I made the choice after figuring that no one else would probably do it (and I was right lol) in the end, I'm really glad! I've had a lot of fun, and she's the right amount of impulsive (it is one of her flaws) to carry them forward, and I'm the right amount of "I can't stand awkward silences at the table" to keep conversations going. Whoops. 

She's from the Fiana tribe, though she's got a Hispanic name because of her father (Who was a Shadow Lord of Spaniard descent who left his tribe when he fell in love with Jael lmao), and she gets along most with her father who is also an Ahroun (meaning they're real good at fighting). Her mom had another child in a first... not marriage? I don't think they got married, but she had another child before she married Arturo and had Xochitl, but Xochitl never knew her sibling that well as they disappeared and presumed dead when she was still very young. 

And by presumed I mean they actually did die, but they're back now! Hah hah! And working for the Autumn King, which, you know, isn't a real thing, so totally normal and okay and nothing wrong here, amiright???? 

Well, We're going to find out tomorrow, because we're totally going to finally kill the autumn king and save Zeke's mom and ????? something Xochitl's sibling. 

the nickname Sushi comes from when the pack went to a bar and we met a group of Fae for the first time -- we were all being super paranoid about the Fae and you KNOW you're not supposed to give them your real name, except that Grace (the GM) said one of them was FC as Janelle Monae and I made some sort of involuntary sound and Grace asked "was that you or Xochitl?" and I went "(makes ionno sound)". But in her all her awkward grace, Xochitl introduces herself as 'Sushi'.

And then Ashanti (Janelle Monae) just won't stop rolling 10's when interacting with Xochitl and becomes instantly SMITTEN which now means that Xochitl is dating a really powerful fae lord of the winter court! And she's promised to bring back the head of the false king for her girlfriend! I'm so normal about them. 

AND! ONCE THEY GET BACK FROM AUTUMN! There's something in the sewers that has been encroaching upon Rat territory, and well it's not like Xochitl and Remy are a thing, but also, Xochitl has two hands and I wouldn't be mad if she and Remy flirt a little hehe BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY, She's been keeping in touch with Remy (who is also team tattoo) about the goings on, and at the moment the ratkin have it under control, but Xochitl is gonna help investigate and deal with it later. 

Now, generally, the pack is an investigation agency called City's Eyes! through a few different series of events during their investigations, everyone did get a gold lightning-scar tattoo on their body (hence the Team Tattoo) -- this marked them all as chosen by these lost totems, and so one of our big quests was to go and save all these lost totems! Xochitl switched from Clashing Boom Boom to Quetzalcoatl as a result, which is like, her learning some responsibility and really taking ownership of being a leader and not just going about it as pell-mell as she had been. 

She has been one of my favorite characters to play, and even with our 4 year gap, the one that I've played the longest (we've been playing since like 2018). It's so easy to slip back into her! And even tho she no longer has her chaos twin that was Theane, she now has another Ahroun in Tali who is also more Mature(TM) than Theane was and I think that'll help keep Xochitl on the right track! Especially because right now she's distressed because her estranged "I thought you were dead but now you're working for someone who is legitimately insane and you're going mad but occasionally you remember who I am to you and try to warn me" sibling is there and she REALLY wants this king's head to give to Ashanti. She only just met Tali but insofar feels like she can rely on her! And of course, she can always rely on Rory and Theo to help protect the others. 

Now, forgive me, I have a lot of playlists and a lot of pinboards for her, so I'll end with all of those! I've also uploaded her character sheet and her profile for free to patreon (which includes her gifts and weapons). Please know that when I roll to hit, I'm rolling a minimum of 9 dice, and then if I hit, WOAH BUDDY. What a satisfying sound!! 

Pinboards: 

Xochitl's Board 

Xochitl and Ashanti's Board

I told you: normal. 

Wish us luck storming the castle and killing the false king of autumn!!!

massive brainrot over the meaning of hair in my genderbent tsc series. obviously alice who, rather than dyeing her hair back to black, has deena cut off all of the dye and relaxer damaged length and growing it back out the way it was meant to be, black and wavy. wynne braiding her hair flat to her head so tightly it looks short because she loves her hair too much to cut it but hates the meaning her long hair has, wynne taking her hair down only around jiao and terrence and jiao being so shocked because she takes it down around terrence after knowing him for two whole days and she never, ever does that. jiao keeping her hair cropped short in the 21st century because she comes from a culture where they cut their hair in mourning and she had to leave part of her soul back in the past. tracey's unintentional bob haircut thanks to demon claw shears (and her asking alice for help to correct it into something okay-looking) and how it starts off a trend in the enclave. alix cutting and braiding jael's hair for her. alix herself starting out the series looking like samara from the ring and slowly cutting it to her shoulders and then boyishly short over time as she grows into herself as a sapphic woman and as the leader of one of america's most influential institutes. jasper opening up to the idea of a woman with short hair because he sees nora's as a sign of strength, for what she endured and came out of alive. addison's shoulder-length curls. josh growing his hair long while he's in america exploring being a new man with a new life and a new name. the fact that terrence's "mark" as a warlock is that he has no beard, a fact about himself that he likes and loathes in equal measure. thistle cutting her own hair because she doesn't like other people doing it. casey lake only discovering he has curls when he's in his twenties because all his life he's had it only about an inch and a half to two inches long. rosa keeping the same clubbed double braids for fifty years like an anime character whose style never changes. and minerva, of course.

HAIR IN THIS SERIES

[marisunshine903]

Gonna post it here. This is a redraw from Jael's animation series, Underverse. Dream belongs to Joku

[xcharriely]

¡Muy buenas!

Bueno...Les vengo a presentar un Au/Línea alterna basada en el au de Jael Peñaloza (XTale), aunque antes de hablar de este dejaré advertencias, así que espero que no las pasen por alto aquellos que tienen sensibilidad a estos temas, gracias. ^^

Tw: Guerra, abusos, violencia, problemas psicológicos, temas realistas.

XTale alternative.

Bueno, antes de exponer mi Au, vengo a explicar que muchísimas cosas vienen de roles hechos con gente cercana a mi persona, quienes me han ayudado con el paso del tiempo a desarrollar esta historia con un objetivo en concreto: El cual es poner en situaciones realistas todo aquello que la parte más tóxica del fandom normalizó y romántizo durante este tiempo, sumando a la crítica sin sentido a personajes bien escritos, la idealización a personajes de forma extremadamente contraria y a temas para nada idolatrables.

Por temas de comodidad no se realizaron imágenes NSFW ni extremadamente fuertes, ya que por mi parte es incómodo y más con un au el cual le tengo un gran aprecio, por lo cual dejó como aviso que la mayoría del arte encontrado son edits creados en base al arte de Jael Peñaloza, la creadora de la serie y los comics y quien le doy todos los derechos artísticos y de autora del contenido el cual solo adapte para mi historia, además de múltiples paneles de diversos mangas que utilice para decoración.

Dejaré aquí tres links, mi entrada a Notion, el documento en notion del Alternative y el documento en Google de mi Au en su versión base, espero les guste!

3 17 32! 🫶🏻

LINDS HI HELLO ILY

This ask game

3. Favourite fantasy sub genre

I love the ones that are so blurry. Like the magic is questionable, there’s fate vs destiny vs free will etc etc. the raven cycle is a Perfect example of that! I love the poppy wars type fantasy too, VE Schwab also gets it.

I think it’s because I practice witchcraft and I’ve always found mundane magic so fascinating. Like how my mom will call me when I’m upset because somehow she knew, and friends who text you right when you’re thinking of them, and how people will find you the perfect moments in your life when you need them most. How on a bad day maybe you get a free Starbucks drink by accident.

Idk I just think there’s more to it & that we don’t understand anything abt reality and I love when books explore the blurry lines there.

17. Favourite finished book series

I have so many…so so so many…but I haven’t talked abt Animorphs enough recently and I’m saying that because 54 books baby!!! All these bite sized pieces exploring a bigger whole?? Questioning the morality of the thing trying to destroy you??? Having your enemy stare back at you with the face of your brother?? Not choosing to save the world and dragging yourself the whole way there?? Ouch!!!

32. Name of your favourite authors

I forgot how much I wanted to murder Evanjalin in the beginning of that series.

“I am gonna get you sent as a condemned slave to the mines with no warning in hopes this will further my restoration plan” is…ummmm.

The thing is, on reread I know and get her deep trauma and drive and need for vengeance and justice. But it still does not sit well with me, and never will. I both get why Finnikin gets over it and yet can never fully get over it myself.

The thing is, Finnikin x Evanjalin/Isaboe is very much the gender-reversed trope of sunshine girl x deeply fucked up hardened dude. And unlike fucked up x fucked up set up (see Warner x Juliette in Shatter Me, Dred x Jael in Dred Queen or even Froi x Quintana in this very series, not to mention 10x other stories) which is my favorite ship set up ever, the problem with sunshine x fucked up always becomes "well, I see what the fucked up one gets out of it, but how about the sunshine one?" In a lot of stories this gets circumvented by the fact that the mess is actually providing physical protection (the usual this is a dangerous environment/someone wants sunshine one dead/etc set up.) But Marchetta does not make it this easy here - Finnikin can fight just fine and he does not need protection from Isaboe (who cannot offer it anyway.) In fact, all the danger he faces is BECAUSE of Isaboe. The author thrusts it in your face and dares you to understand how trauma and desperation and cause can make people ugly and desperate and do all sorts of awful things. When I first read the trilogy, I ended up liking both Isaboe and Isaboe x Finnikin but it took me a very long time to get there and this is such an interesting thing. She is a person who will always put her cause above any person (even at the very end, if it came to cause v Finnikin, we know what she’d pick) and it’s a rare set up.

PS AAAAAAA Trevanion!!!! Our first glimpse of present day Trevanion.

Trevanion, Daddy of Finnikin and Daddy in every sense of that term.

He is actually probably my favorite character in this series (except Froi.) I find his character (and Lady Beatriss) such a heartbreaking deconstruction of a perfect warrior, perfect knight, perfect commander with a perfect oath and a perfect chivalric love story with a perfect lady. And then it's all destroyed in the most horrifying, brutal, prolonged, thorough way. And he's left alive and then what...

Out of all the happy endings in this series, I honestly find his and Beatriss' the most heartbreakingly hard won. They have some of the worst trauma but also unlike a lot of the other characters, they are not young and also they remember many years of peace and happiness and "before" so it's harder to adjust because of that as well.
