“Dorian lingered longer, graceful and steady, even as Rowan found himself struggling to speak past the tightness in his throat.”

THE QUEEN | THE LOCK | THE KING

-

Taylor Swift and Post Malone's hug in the Fortnight MV gave me strong "former lovers that are now forever tied together platonically" vibes so I had to make a Doraelin piece based off of it <3 They will always be equals, foils, allies, and friends and I just love that.

[acourtofquestions]

How in the world is Dorian such a decent person?

Like legit this man has no reason to be so kind and righteous; where has he seen it demonstrated? — No, he JUST IS!!! No one had to teach him (though he always tries to grow) he just is good. — Talk about “not becoming your parents” and “we are more than our pasts” THIS MAN was raised by a monster, he has been surrounded by abusive men who use women, his nightmare of a brother, a careless mother, and the weight of an entire country (covered in blood still seeping from his fathers original wounds) … and yet, he turns out to be NOT ONLY the opposite but FAR MORE knowledgeable (in morality, studies, heck being a king) then other good characters who had WAYYY better examples to mimic… he EVEN understands Celaena (better than Chaol) he understands loving someone (better than ANY of the ships so far) AND he understands letting them go; really letting them go, and wanting not only what’s better for them, but also what he deserves.

… I just am really impressed with his character…

And wish the poor guy was given the love and appreciation; heck communication at a minimum, of which he deserves.

i feel like such a bad friend for recommending TOG to my bestie

because like-

"here you go!! you'll love this piece of literature, but it'll also rip your heart out and shread it again and again. and after you finish you'll probably need A LOT of time to even function properly. you also need to buckle up because these books will live in your mind rent free forever. BUT it's so worth it!!"

About to finish TOG

[lucien-calore]

listen, if adarlan is inspired by the uk, surely there must be a tog version of the indians that were colonized by the brits? and surely there would be a tog version of the indian community in the uk?

following that train of thought, i like to think that anielle is the fantasy version of the indian community in the uk. therefore, chaol is indian.

no, i will not be taking any criticism.

How would you compared Dorian, Manon and Aelin in ruling their kingdoms and how do you think they will rise above challenges.

This is a great question!

Dorian - He’s the only one with actual experience (though short) and training so I think he will be good at it. Especially playing politics and charming people. He knows how to play the game. And after KoA he’s proven to himself that he wants to be a good king to his people. He’s dedicated to making up for the past atrocities of his father.

I think his biggest challenge is proving himself to his people. They’ve known him as a playboy prince and Adarlan was likely destroyed by Erawan in the war. So it’s going to take time for them to fully trust and support him. It’ll happen eventually, but he’ll need to be patient, which I think he can be.

Manon - She lacks Dorian’s political skill, but she’s been raised to lead. I think her strength will be in delegating. I don’t see her as a queen who will be good at dealing with tiny details. Shes more big picture in my opinion. Which is why I think she’d rely on a council to support the day to day work.

Having a council would help overcome her biggest challenge - uniting the clans. They came together to defeat Erawan, but there are centuries of bad blood that need to be addressed. Manon is someone they can rally around, but she’ll need to provide an outlet for their voices to he heard.

Aelin - After KoA she is clearly a beloved queen. She’s cunning and devoted to her people. But like Manon, she’s not great at politics. She is stubborn, has a temper, and doesn’t share her plans. Not a delegator. At all! Lol Overcoming those aspects of her personality and trusting others will be a struggle for her.

I think they all have hard work ahead rebuilding their kingdoms, Manon more so since it will basically be done from scratch. Aelin has the biggest challenge in terms of governing style I think. Manon and Dorian have had more formal training and I see them as being more patient and delegating. But, Dorian has the shadow of his father hanging over him, which will be hard for him to dispel.

Thanks anon! This was fun to think about!

the assassins blade

ummm just reread The Assassin's Blade and I can’t!! Sam’s love for Celaena is something to die for!

I WILL NOT BE AFRAID

spoiler:

Sam saying this literally touched my heart

“The only secret I’ve borne my entire life is that I love you”

“It was the one thing I believed I’d go to the grave without voicing”

PLS MY HEART HE DIDN’T DESERVE ITTT

[acourtofquestions]

I imagine Celaena finally seeing the sun after a year in Endovier must’ve looked a lot like this…

…The utter joy to see the sky & marveling at the world. The wonder of it still managing to light up the eyes of someone who has seen the very worst of it. It’s no wonder both Chaol & Dorian fell in love with her … how could you not love that?

She did not let herself feel it, let her soul feel it.
