I know someone Else who had a 'severe case of moral philosophy', if you catch my drift

"so did they yknow... go to moral philosophy school?"

[lizziemothman]

girls will ask you to explain lymond to them. And you will not know what to say except you cannot explain lymond in a way that matters

"I sometimes wonder," said Francis Crawford, "if I only exist to be sacrificed to."

so weird that the lymond chronicles aren't more of a thing on here. most "author would have been posting jawdropping, DEEPLY psychologically upsetting m/m smut on ao3 dot org" books ever

[thecrenellations]

Oh, you married the older sister (?) of the friend/crush you connected with on a dangerous adventure as a teenager? She has some gender stuff going on and was pretty much the only person who could get through to him when he was extremely ill after one of the most traumatic experiences of his life? On a scale of Jerott Blyth to Sounis Sophos, how well did it go?

"There must be something he wants. And whatever it is, by God, I'll find it and make a collar and chain of it with 'Douglas' in fine Gothic letters on the neck."

George Douglas has some A+ ideas in Game of Kings, no notes.

Its hysterically funny to me that I was fully ready to accept I wouldn't see any homosexual activity until book 6 when I started the lymond chronicles since the fanart that finally enticed me into the pit is from checkmate and then I start the game of kings and will scott of kincurd and whatever the fuck is going on between him and lymond is placed directly into my lap. Thank youuuu ms dunnett I will cherish him forever

[lizziemothman]

oh no i fear i'll be obsessed

[j-august]

Lymond's behaviour, as always, went to the limits of polite usage and then hurtled off into space.

HBO stop adapting game of thrones prequels start adapting lymond chronicles challenge

[etirabys]

if you fall in love with a character who is described as fabulously good looking in-text

and the author is on the record as headcanoning a particular actor as that character

and sixty years of beauty standards drift separate you and the author

beware of googling that actor

[linovadraws]
