Such a testament to Hahn’s skill as a comedy performer, that as unhinged as the episode one interrogation read from her side, seeing it from Billy’s perspective is just fucking bananas.

Let's make it some in-world memes this time :)

this is somewhat of a vent post & something i said i would not do again but has been plaguing me enough that i think getting it out might feel better. so. has anydoggy else been. Baffled and upset by nora sakavic’s refusal to speak on how terribly aftg has treated its characters of color? with the author of the series coming back with a new book and starting up on her online activity again, and questions of what she’d change about aftg bubbling up, it’s particularly glaring to me that we are all playing this very long game of pretend where we ignore how badly the non-white cast has been treated & her lack of thoughts on it

and i understand not wanting to bring up nicky and thea because people pick on her for it. i’m not trying to discredit nora sakavic’s terrible history of getting harrassed online by aftg fans. but i think it is very cynical, and it is very juvenile, and most of all very cruel, that she gets to ignore the very real ways the books have set up these characters to be hated. i think it’s obvious why the characters who get the most hate are the only canonical characters of color, and i think we do not get to treat this like a deliberate decision on the fandom’s part when the books have put these same characters in degrading and embarrassing and terrible positions in the first place. aftg is not a story about nice characters with clean pasts, but there is a very specific nastiness to the only characters of color being a brown man who sexually harasses and later assaults the main character, a black woman whose only scene is her lashing out at her love interest after being ignored for the first two books, and the japanese villain who gets maybe two lines of complexity before he goes back to being a terrible person. the white cast, in comparison, while not at all free from flaws, are never shown to commit mindless evil; all of their actions are ultimately justified. the book goes out of its way to give them concession after concession. we know exactly who to side with, because aftg tells us who these people are. does nicky’s assault ever get addressed in the books? does riko’s reasoning to be the way that he is ever gets more than briefly aluded to? is thea reserved even a shred of humanity or grace in her one scene?

anyway. it’s been years of talking about this and the fandom has been constantly hostile to criticism in this regard, and more recently any criticism at all, and it’s Grating to be on the other side of this discussion. it’s exhausting to know that in ten years we do not get even an acknowledgment besides the author saying she will not answer questions about nicky and thea anymore. it’s upsetting and it’s ugly and i wish no one had to talk about this again, but we do because what i thought was common sense has been washed away by a sudden influx of no-nuance adoration for the trilogy. basically i hope we all explode

i can't stop thinking how funny it would be if gareth's brothers did in fact recognise him and were just like 'well clearly he has his reasons so let's all be good big bros and pretend we don't know him' and then spend the next few weeks before he goes off on his quest pretending extremely badly that they have never ever met this kitchen boy before nope not at all even while other knights are looking at them and looking at gareth and going 'hmmm'

I will confess that part of why I end up #teamliam is that so often Noel, the king of being a dickhead to people he cares about will claim that if you love someone you won't be a dickhead. "He's so fucking mean and violent" and it's like baby... role the tapes. I'm not even trying to dismiss his feelings I'm sure Liam was awful in ways that feel distinct from how he's awful but. remember that time you smashed his head in with a cricket bat & maybe broke his arm & all the times you've publicly talked about how fun it is to hurt him or fantasized about his violent death? and does this mean you don't love him? oh for the record you don't know what love is or when you're feeling it. ok buddy get well have fun u do u.

lmao no but you're entirely right, his behaviour is/always has been completely unhinged and horrendous where liam is concerned. all that shit he says, "i wish liam would die in a fiery car crash," "i can play him like a slightly disused arcade game," "the only thing better than making women cry is making liam cry," etc etc, is exactly the brand of emotional withdrawal and vicious defensiveness he falls back on, that makes liam get so angry in turn. but this is fundamentally not a case where taking sides works at all. both of them are simultaneously responsible for their own bad behaviour and painfully sympathetic victims of circumstance (and each other). you have to be able to look at both of them from their own perspectives AND holistically and see how they were apparently created in a lab to specifically trigger and upset one another. they're both horrible to each other, in different ways, and it's not really fair to say one is worse or the cause of the other's bad behaviour.

Sometimes it just hits me like a ping-pong ball to the face that afaik, Aymeric is the first person to bother asking WoL what they want for themselves, the first person to even consider that WoL's wishes and dreams might not actually be the same as their duties as a Scion, and

brother I am on the floor crying abt it

"Now that the dust has settled, what will you do? Not as a Scion, I mean, but...what do you want for yourself?"

Summary: Tomáš is happy to see his friends again, but something is starting to feel off. Not that he has time to dwell on it--there's a growing sense of urgency in dread in him, and he's willing to take risks with this new advantage that has opened up to him. And if he thought confusing reveals and vague answers were finally a thing of the past…he is very wrong.

Author Notes: Wow, more time slipped away than I thought. Sorry about that :(

Good news is is the last two chapters are half written in one form or another. And then we're off to the races--I mean the "other side" of this piece.

A huge thanks to @eatmyeyes for helping with the practice scene between Tomáš and Jax!
