Realm of the Elderlings Ask Meme Thing

This is so fun, thanks for the tag @mellowthorn!! <3

Favorite RotE book: Fool’s Fate

Why: Fool’s Fate and Fool’s Errand are both at the top of my list, but I have to give this one to FF because I don’t think any other book has made me lose my mind quite like this one. Robin Hobb said hi I wrote a book with every single gay fanfic trope in it and also it’ll shatter your heart into a million pieces! There’s dragons! What more could you want really

Top three favorite characters: Beloved, (I want to also list Amber but idk if that counts,) Fitz, Kettricken

Top three least favorite characters: Tats, Lant, Greft

Favorite ship (of the floating kind): Paragon! Tarman literally walking up the river with his little feet is very important to me though

Top three favorite ships (of the people kind): Fitzloved, Patience and Lacy, Erek and Detozi.

Would you rather be Witted or Skilled: Witted

If you were Witted, what animal would you bond with? Probably a dog or some kind of bird. Actually wait I started thinking about different forest animals and now I desperately want a possum as a wit partner

Would you rather live in the Outislands, the Mountain Kingdom, the Six Duchies, Bingtown, the Rain Wilds, Kelsingra, Jamaillia, the Pirate Isles, or Fool’s Homeland? The mountain kingdom sounds like such a nice place to live! I’d travel to the other places when I inevitably got too cold lmao

How were you introduced to the books? My mutuals were losing their minds over the series and I am very easily influenced when it comes to books ( @lordgolden I think your posts were the ones that convinced me to start reading it actually, thank you for the incurable brainrot <3)

Share a quote you love: There are so many, but the first one that came to mind was “If there must be another my fate is twined around, I am glad it is you.”

That whole section of AQ is what made me truly fall in love with the series. Fitz and Beloved’s relationship is so beautiful and complicated and tortured and it did truly change my brain chemistry!! The fact that they don’t need to have an explicitly romantic or sexual relationship to be the most important people in each other’s lives also just means a lot to me. (And despite all that they literally do have soul sex on the page. No one’s doing it like them)

Tagging: I know a lot of people have been tagged in this already, so if you like RotE and haven’t been tagged yet consider this your tag!
