Raven - Vivid Shadows 2024

"The Odo Sedoh dreamed, and in his dreams, he was legion. He was black-winged murder flying over a vast sea. He was the bloodthirsty havoc of beak and talon. He was the stately flock that wheeled over a city stained by injustice. He became the shout of a thousand prayers on a thousand lips. He became a prophecy of revenge. He became the blossoming shadow that engulfed a sun. He was Crow who then became the slaughter"

from 'Between Earth and Sky' saga by Rebecca Roanhorse

reading fevered star by rebecca roanhorse and i need to lie down and recover from the fact that serapio was supposed to die after fulfilling his destiny but the crows that he had befriended loved him enough to sacrifice their lives for his and bring him back

there is just something about a character who is born and forged into a weapon or a god, and they will fulfill their destiny because that is what is expected of them, but deep down they just want to be seen as human, a person, as someone’s son or daughter. they crave connection, and somewhere to belong, a home for themselves.

(this is about Serapio from Black Sun specifically but it fits so many characters)

If I had a nickle for every one of my favorite characters who, after almost dying to the point where their friends and family are convinced they're dead, they went to live as hermits for several years in a remote area because they didn't know how to reconnect with the people they love...I'd have 2 nickles...which isn't a lot...but it's weird that it happened twice.

I just realized at the end of book one Serapio 'dies' and is surrounded by crows to truly become the vessel of the crow god, where before he was technically just a boy. At the end of book three, the crow god is killed and the crows once again surround Serapio, this time restoring him as a human. That's cyclical as fuck, I love it

[untolduttering]

Serapio. Serapio!! To be nothing but a vessel for a god, to never have a childhood or a life or any sense of individuality, to only have one goal in mind, and yet, his own personality carves it’s way through, and he still manages to being loving and gentle, but cruel and violent when necessary. I’m not finished with the first book yet, but the way he confidently makes his way to his destiny, without knowing what will happen to him, but having full faith the whole way??? He’s so interesting and well written and fuck I love this character.

tell me about ur most pathetic wet piece of shit fave please!!

Oh perfect, it's time for me to spread book propoganda:

Imagine, if you will, a 6 foot something, imposing man, he has long black hair and crows answer his call. Peeking our from under his clothes you can see a pattern etched into his skin. He is the vessel of a god.

He is a mommas boy, he has no social skills (the crows that flock to him are his only friends and he loves them sososo much), he covers his scarred eyes with a cloth specifically because he doesn't want his injury to creep people out, he's so afraid and so kind and so gentle. He wants nothing more than for the girl he likes to tell him stories and teach him about the stars.

His name is Serapio I love him so much why does Rebecca Roanhorse's Between Earth and Sky series not have any fucking fandom oh god I'm suffering waiting for the last book 😭
