#Katsa

[eemolu]

katsa in the first 100 pages of graceling is like i’m an irredeemable monster. this lienid prince is the hottest man i’ve ever seen and i hate him. i want to run away. po is so beautiful. i’ve saved the lives of hundreds yet i myself am worthless. who let po be so muscular perfect evilllll get him away from me. self hatred once more!!! …….and i was supposed to what? NOT fall in love with her??

[laufire]

What WAS the difference between a husband and a lover?  If she took Po as her husband, she would be making promises about a future she couldn’t yet see. For once she became his wife, she would be his wife forever. And, no matter how much freedom Po gave her, she would always know that it was a gift. Her freedom would not be her own; it would be Po’s to give or to withhold. That he never would withhold it made no difference. If it did not come from her, it was not really hers.  If Po were her lover, would she feel captured, cornered into a sense of forever? Or would she still have the freedom that sprang from herself?

Recently reread Graceling, and I was thinking about the wildcat nickname (it’s always kind of bugged me cause it’s never mentioned outside of referring to Katsa). Finally figured out what bugged me even more though, which is that Po got the nickname from hearing her thoughts. Every time they fought Katsa was thinking that she was just like a wildcat while attacking him and he heard that and thought it was cute enough to use as a nickname.

What’s even better is that there is no evidence that Katsa has ever seen a wildcat, so imagine Katsa hearing tales of wildcats (having always been randa’s lackey) and liking them so much that she compares herself to them.

Hey Designers,

This is my fanart collage from The Graceling series. Again, I did not make this art. Rather, I just collaged it.

sometimes I make art (this is a redraw)

[ganseyboiiii]

Po: Take my ring, take my castle, take my title, take my gold, take my inheritance, take my identity, take all of me. Katsa: no also Katsa: FUCK YOU'RE LUMINOUS

I hate it when people see a character with negative traits and call it bad writing

[eemolu]

the SECOND po realizes katsa is oblivious to any and all romance he starts saying i love you at every available opportunity. “wildcat don’t blame yourself.” “you’re forgiven.” “my range for you is broader than most.” like stop!!!! she’s not going to get it so the only purpose it serves is making me insane!!!!!

[avidcosmerereader]

“I love you, ” he said. “You’re more dear to my heart than I never knew anyone could be.”

Po to Katsa.

I know Raffin bought this sign for Katsa and Po and him and Bitterblue laughed themselves sick over it

Ngl I don't particularly want to get into the animation industry since it looks so stressful and too much for me, but part of me wants to get into it JUST to make animated shows of my favourite books series.

Like, could you imagine this fluid animated battle scene of Xingyin where she's battling demon realm soldiers with the Jade Dragon Bow, stylised sky-fire raining down and using camera angles to accentuate her skill and technique with the bow??? Or a slow motion scene of Lovisa walking through the snow as she wonders what to do about her parents and her growing suspicions?? Katsa moving in the shadows as she works alongside Giddon??

The art direction that could be done for designing the cities and towns?? Like could you imagine Graceling, Winterkeep, Daughter of the Moon Goddess, etc all getting the Castlevania treatment with beautiful art and cinematography??

It'd be so cool...

Pride Month Aspec Headcanons Day 28

Katsa - Graceling Realm - Greyrose

I'm actually in the middle of a Graceling Realm reread/catch-up right now, so of course I'm gonna give out an aspec headcanon for this series as well

Why greyrose for Katsa? Well, before she met Po, she really wasn't interested in anything regarding romance or sex. It takes a combo of meeting him and knowing that he won't force her to settle down the way society tries to require that finally gets her to be more interested.

Also just. More power to her for being aspec. She's awesome
