It is not acceptable to speculate about, comment on, or discuss anyone's assigned gender. It's not acceptable to refer to someone as "amab" or "afab" without their permission. This can be immensely dysphoria inducing, and even if it's not, it's fucking disrespectful. Stop doing this shit.

one thing I can well and truly give kotlc full marks for is that I know exactly what every single character looks like. some books I have a really hard time piecing together descriptions from scattered one-off comments, but Shannon is liberal and consistent when it comes to descriptors. and I appreciate that

[honey-the-dinosaur-ate-our-kid]

y'all. tam x biana is NOT grumpy x sunshine or emo x positivity or whatever contrasting dynamics along those lines. i've talked a lot about why tam being emo is a) not supported by canon and b) influenced by uncomfortable racial dynamics. but also biana being feminine does not inherently make her sunshine or positive or whatever; she's one of the most sarcastic and bitter characters imo. she spends the whole first book low key bullying sophie. she hides knives under her dress' ruffles. this is not sunshine behavior. please i'm begging

People act like Keefe is so virtuous and like he hides his trauma under humor

But like

He does not hide his trauma.

He whines all the time. all the time.

He's like Alvar in that sense- there's even a point in Legacy where Keefe decides to make his and Alvar's trauma be some sort of competition. How is this guy so many people's favorite character?

more on Sophie's existential crisis and inpromptu haircut

Also just to be clear: Even if someone is being homophobic, it's not okay to send anon hate or suicide bait them. That's not acceptable, ever.

[honey-the-dinosaur-ate-our-kid]

best KOTLC plotwist imo: Inflictors can also inflict positive emotions. The only reason we didn’t know this was because the only known Inflictor before Sophie was Bronte.

Do kotlc fans fw clowns because I have a thing

THE LOST CITIES ARE JUST AS BAD IF NOT WORSE THAN THE HUMAN WORLD

"They don't discriminate based on race or money" cuz they have no reason too discriminate based on money or race but that doesn't stop them from

bad matches, divorces, Talentless, disabled people (From how we see how Marella's mom is treated), EUGENICS (Please look at the history of eugenics it's horrible, and I kinda hate how much the elves support it), speicism (Which is just fanesty racism), Classism, Slavery (it's like this, "oh you work for us and we'll protect you from these scary ogers but if you don't we'll let the ogers take you") Forcing carnivorous animals to be vegan (WHICH IS HORRIBLE FOR THEM, LIKE I THINK IT'S ACTUALLY ANIMAL ABUSE) oh yeah abuse that never gets resolved, memory breaks, and more

I love these books but seriously, Sophie the lost cities isn't perfect it's a cest pit

it'd be so funny if the last anon actually sent that email and shannon reacted to it the way rick did with nico

OH MY GOSH YES

“can I be dex’s gf?” 🥺

“Honey he gay”

“what if i told you i stopped pressing buttons” but in this scenario i am biana. what if i told you i watched my brother die and my other brother stop trying to save him. i could have also tried to save him but i just stood by and watched, justifying to myself that it was up to my brother who was trying from the start. ultimately i am also to blame but no one will hear from my bystander perspective.
