absolutely genius of rf kuang to elaborate on virtually nothing about speer's culture. the only things said about speer are "speerlies are mindless savages" and "speerlies are most definitely not mindless savages". there are no deep dives, no explanations of their way of life, nothing beyond the glimpses that disproves nikan's belief that they are nothing but a violent group. we saw that they had leaders that cared about their people and children. we saw that they are people who found joy in life. but that's really not much.

this emphasizes the horror of genocide. millenia of culture and history, individual lives filled with love, pain, and passion, just completely wiped away. there were only two surviving speerlies. one of them was too young when he was taken away, and probably doesn't remember much. the things he did remember was also probably buried under years of abuse and drugs people were plying him with. the other one didn't even know she was from speer until the last few months of her life, and there was really no one around to teach her about their culture. and if there was, life as she knows it was falling apart. learning about her dead people's culture probably didn't even cross her mind.

without saying any of these things and by intentionally leaving readers in the dark about what speer was truly like, rf kuang said so much about the horrors of genocide. by not saying anything, she said everything. she did the "show me, don't tell me" tip for writers and it was brilliant.

we will never learn most of speer's culture and history and that was the point.

Fanfic writers will take a show with a budget-saving cast of 9 and be like "there are literally no other people in this town because Something Bad happened during the war between the elves and the fae and all the humans were killed or left except these four innocent children and two adults coping with PTSD through denial" and describe The Horrors of War in exact and gruesome detail and it'll be the best thing you've ever read until you get to the embedded fanart and you're reminded the enemies-to-lovers protagonists of the body-horror novel you're reading look like this:

att köpa snus åt någon annan kräver både mod och självdisciplin. oj shit du ville ha kokobängbollssmaken med en underton av artificiella bär? sorry det fanns inte på min lokala hemköp, fanns bara velo ice cool. oj då du tycker inte om den längre? du menade loop och inte velo och det är en helt annan grej som absolut INTE borde förväxlas? jag beklagar sorgen min vän

@the-government-man ja det här är ett påhopp

i wonder if jesus searched for judas when he came back to life. i wonder if jesus cried when he found out judas was gone. i wonder how bitter he felt that the man he loved was so racked with guilt for what he’d done he couldn’t live with himself.

even though it had always been god’s plan for judas to commit the betrayal.
