Chaghan would have shattered their minds.”

me when i remember that rin died in the arms of nezha, someone that, deep down, she really truly loved, and even if she didn’t recognize it as such, she cared for him, meanwhile kitay died alone, staring at the stars, no one to comfort or hold him, knowing he may never see his best friend again.

You know that feeling you get when you finish a piece of media that's so good you'll litterally implode if you don't get more content? yeah..

Tell me why I'm crying at 4 in the morning after I just finished reading The Poppy War series (plus the book from Nezha's pov)

Why would you do this to me R F Kuang?!

out of nowhere but on the tpw Disco Horse i think while YES tpw is absolutely not a romance it's wrong to say there's NO romance. like if we're defining anything that's romantic love as romance, yes, there is romantic love but the point as nezha literally says himself in tdf is that there was love and it didn't matter one single bit. rinezha basically serves to help hammer in the central tragedy of the story (and reel in the booktok girlies lmao), how war ravages and desensitizes and destroys-- it's only part of the horror

also it's not like a romeo and juliet type tragedy, it's fucked all on its own -- it can't really exist without the war and devastation and insanity, even though that's what damns it. rin and nezha's romance develops as they're fighting a war. their first kiss is under the murui mid-battle to resuscitate rin. nezha finds rin so compelling precisely because she's a crazy insane fucko who would kill him, the only person who can, and part of why rin likes him because he's a) sexy b) a reminder of her days at sinegard where things were so good in comparison to the war.

the first real snippet of anything but hostility between them is when they're, again, fighting a war back to back. and when it becomes hostility again, it's because both chose their duty and principles over each other. and hate coexists with that love, anyway-- rin hates nezha because he's one of the most privileged people in the country, because he took advantage of her trust to betray her for the fucking HESPERIANS, and nezha hates rin because she's, you know, a genocidal drug-addled peasant warlord who can only thrive off of conflict and doesn't value human life, because she's leading a war against everything he stands for, etc.

there was love and it didn't matter. on with the bloodshed, folks!

ok. well. it probably doesn't count as a "romance" what with it being so intertwined with the war, but saying there's no romance is just not true
