#Selwyn kane

" He presses the bandage in place, then pulls out the medical tape. Watching Selwyn Kane tear off a piece and struggle valiantly to apply it with one hand so that it stays taut is one of the most awkward things I've ever seen. So awkward I can't watch it without secondhand embarrassment. I step forward between him and the sink without thinking. 'Let me do it.' " - 'ʙʟᴏᴏᴅᴍᴀʀᴋᴇᴅ' ʙʏ ᴛʀᴀᴄʏ ᴅᴇᴏɴɴ, ᴘᴀɢᴇ 270

Me: I read the Legendborn Cycle for the plot.

The Plot:

(Somewhat spoilery, loving rant about this scene in particular underneath the Keep Reading lol)

It has been brought to my attention that some of us believe Sel acted like this was Difficult ON PURPOSE to lure Bree in so he could mesmer her, which I guess DOES make sense,

HOWEVER,

When I first read it, obviously unaware that he was mesmering her (I WAS under the belief that he was Acting Weird tho), I just read it as "I cAn Do ThiS bY mYseLf bEcAusE I hAvE nEvEr NeEdEd hELp EvEr" since he is Like That to begin with, lol. So ye this is one of my favorite "awee Sel just accept the help of the friends around you bcs they love to take care of you because they LOVE YOU AS THEIR FRIEND ALRIGHT" and it's just really soft okay this is a SOFT MOMENT despite him being very SHIRTLESS ALRIGHT IT'S SOFT IT'S WHOLESOME ALRIGHT IT's-

Also Bree's whole "I've never known what he smells like underneath his magic. He smells like soap and forest." almost gets me fkn crying every time bcs HOW SOFT IS THAT ?? THE SELWYN KANE, RAISED AS A WEAPON, SMELLS LIKE SOAP AND FALL AIR AND PINE SAP UNDERNEATH HIS ARMOR. LIKE TELL ME THAT IS NOT THE FKN SOFTEST, MOST PRECIOUS THING EVER- 😭😭😭

Also his line like "well if you're just gonna steal the tape and not use it"??? 💀💀💀😭😭😭😭

I love this scene for so many reasons alright

Also, on another note, do we know for sure that the Order symbol thingy is The Celtic Knot he has tattooed or is it some other Celtic Knot bcs I could Not find any confirmation on what it actually looks like but one of the people cosplaying Sel in the Legendborn discord had a temporary tattoo with the Order mark thingy so I just went with it hjsdhjhdfd

Being part of a small fandom is liking every single post you see about it because on tumblr little to no people have actually read the books 😭

I'm totally not talking about powerless and legendborn

Here’s a Legendborn Cycle piece I comm’d from the amazing @mageofspace924! (tysm!!)

Bree is one of my absolute favorite protagonists in any book I’ve ever read. 🥰 She, Sel, and Nick have some of the best interactions and chemistry. They’re all my fave bbs and I just want them all to be safe and able to live their lives happily together. 🥹🥹

[mageofspace924]

i have missed them ❤️️⚔️💙

I think it’s really easy to dislike Sel as a Edgy Emo Boy trope if you take him too seriously instead of just looking at him like the goofy ass kid he is. Allow me to do you this service.

Reasons Selwyn Kane is objectively silly:

- Wears all black all the time. He is a Merlin but he does not have to do this. This is a conscious choice. If his hair wasn’t naturally black he would dye it, I know this to be true.

- Rips trees out of the ground when he’s angry. I understand this can look stupid if you take it seriously, but it’s actually just hilarious.

- Plays the violin. This is obviously a normal thing to do, but in combination with The Way He Is it’s like. Yeah okay naturally that’s his instrument

- Classics major. Exact same thing as above.

- Does not use people’s nicknames even if that’s what everyone else calls them. He’s simply Too Formal (19 years old)

- Does the last 3 things I mentioned, but still goes out of his way to make fun of Bree for not smoking weed, because he is simply So Cool.

PLEASE feel free to add more to this

[elisegeese]

“I thought Merlins were only good at making weapons."

Sel's head is tilted back, a slow smile on his face as the aether falls around him. “So did I.”

Featuring Valec, Alice, Mariah, and Will surrounding our Trio.

Little details that bring me joy:

* Will swirling his aether dagger in a teacup

* Mariah with the herbs and bowl and golden root and this faraway look on her face as though she's seeing dead people.

*Nick's shoes lol

*Alice's Gawain green wristband/ribbon!

[enjoyerofstories]

Reminder for everyone that Tracy Deonn said Sel is pansexual

[talleryn]

Nick: so, I get that we’re all without fathers-

Bree: not me.

Sel:

Nick:

Bree: I fucking love my dad

[brianakane]

Daily reminder that Selwyn kane sacrificed his humanity for a girl that wasn't even his

i lied. put your clothes back on. i'll tell you how selwyn fought so hard to keep from succumbing to his blood but then sacrificed his humanity for bree; and how this girl bree gave up her own freedom for a last desperate hope that sel could be saved by natasia.

[mageofspace924]

legendborn art dump !! I love these characters sm 😭 im halfway thru bloodmarked and im officially stressed out (its so good)

I think the problem with the whole “Bree is a cheater” argument is that she… didn’t.

The only person that ever refers to Nick and Bree as boyfriend/girlfriend is Sel who is… not a part of their relationship. Actually, Bree is questioning what they are in book one, and that question is never answered.

I’m not delusional and not going to pretend there aren’t multiple times that they share a deeply intimate connection, sure. But that still doesn’t change the fact that you do have to be dating someone to cheat on them.

Additionally, Bree does nothing romantic with Sel until after Nick runs away. Is it pretty soon after he runs away, sure. But the thing is, Sel never once ran away. Nick did. With no indication of if/when he was coming back. How long does she have to wait for him to Maybe come back before it’s acceptable to move on with a person who has made it very clear he’s been in love with her for months?

Tl;dr Bree can do no wrong in my eyes. But in all seriousness I beg of you all to stop putting how Nick might possibly, maybe, potentially feel about something over Bree being able to live her life as a 16 year old girl.
