#it was him. it was FITZ. and i MISS HIM.

[when-wax-wings-melt]

said it once i will say it fucking again. flashback fitz was the most accurate version of fitz there ever was. he was sweet he was angry he was frustrated he was patient he was confident he was violent he never trusted alvar again he trusted sophie more than anyone (nearly unhealthily). i miss him. bring him back. he was so unapologetically kind generous and deeply broken. I MISS HIM.

[p4nishers]

remember when fitz said in fool's assassin that it had taken him YEARS to accept beloved wasn't coming back? that he had waited for him, some part of his soul still dangling? waited like a dog told to sit and stay? that he had slowly begun to believe beloved didn't care about him anymore? that only after that did he really start to mourn? that he had obsessed over it for years, trying to excuse it? that he had chewed on one single line beloved had left him over and over and over, even going as far to question their friendship? that the scar of beloved's absence never healed? that the act of trying to understand his life years earlier turned into the act of trying to understand beloved? that he was never whole again after beloved left? that he likened the loss of beloved to nighteyes' death multiple times? remember that? yeah.

I know we wont get scotty on SNW, HOWEVER, if they were to cast him i must insist its this fucking guy

[soloavengers]

search anything about fitz and the farseer trilogy and you’ll find at least two reddit pages asking if he’s dumb

[fairweathermyth]

reading fool's assassin and every time fitz is like 😔 did the fool ever really care for me? or was i only ever the catalyst to him ? a tool to be used and discarded once the job was complete? 😞 i want to put him in a shoebox, close the lid, and give it a good shake. i mean i get it. beloved removes the physical manifestation of your souls bond and peace’s out for literal decades without ever sending a word, so sure, mixed signals. but what about AND I SET NO LIMITS ON THAT LOVE. you were there for that fitzy fitz!

in honor of one year of stellarlune, is there anything you really like about it? there's a lot of things to hate but for you is there still some good in it?

oh! wow! interesting question!

I don't think it's any secret that I have a very deep hatred for stellarlune lmao but one scene did immediately come to mind when I saw your ask.

in the end scene, fitz mentally checking in with keefe (before he does with sophie) and stealing her dagger to give to keefe? trusting him with that?

and the fact that keefe goes through with trying to stab gisela? ough.

this was big for both of their characters I think. fitz has been here. he's held his brothers life in his hands and hes tried to end it before. he knows the anger that keefe is feeling and agh.

for him to be there? for him to acknowledge those feelings and for him to help keefe? to, despite all the tension in the last few books, give him the dagger.

the keefe/gisela and fitz/alvar parallels were strong here and I think this genuinley may be one of my favorite scenes in the book.

"i mean i am gonna miss fitz and the fool but im gonna try to put that aside to enjoy liveship. i'm just gonna try to let myself have fun with your pirates."

"yeah liveship's fun" replied robin hobb, sharpening her knife

[apamates]

Fitz' loved ones going "is anyone going to inflict unimaginable trauma on that boy??" and not waiting for an answer

[spending-life-pretending]

fellas is it gay to be reduced to silence, staring at one another drunkenly

[bethegaycowboy]

people are always like 'assassin's quest is the worst book in the first trilogy, it's meandering and too long and has no plot etc etc' and i'm flabbergasted because isn't following fitz around as he learns more about his ability incredibly interesting and exciting?? ALSO. why don't you read the second half of it again and let fitz and the fool and nighteyes fill your heart with so much love and affection you feel you might die. and then maybe you'll calm down

angry bisexual loser leo fitz you are everything to me!!!!

One of Dolly’s baby teeth fell out on the carpet tonight while we were getting ready for bed. Not sure if this is the first one she’s lost but it’s the first one I’ve seen fall out and I’m oddly emotional about the proof that my baby puppy is slowly turning into…not a baby puppy 🥺
