Highkey I would have whooped Brant’s ass when it was revealed he killed Jolie. I wouldn’t have even bothered to use my ability like Grady did. I would have rolled up my sleeves and beat the shit out of him. 16 years of lies and taking care of my daughters killer? Hold my jacket.

ruedacted and kenralie being foreshadowing for how sokeefe could end if they don't communicate with each other

(gradaline being what they could become if they do)

a playlist for..... Brant?

i put a lot of work into this one, it starts with meeting Jolie and ends with his death

[jeannefostergoriot]

My Boy Only Breaks His Favorite Toys x Jolie Ruewen on her way to death.

“Oh, here we go again, the voices in his head”: Brant has probably always been insecure as hell, being classified Talentless and a bad match didn’t help.

“Called the rain to end our days of wild”: this is Jolie talking about how he tried to make her go away when he started to feel dangerous. I’m sure he did.

“The sickest army doll, purchased at the mall”: Jolie herself, her multiple fights to try and change that world.

“Rivulets descend my plastic smile”: Jolie probably cried a lot at the unfairness. She spent all her time with Brant and suddenly they couldn’t see each other anymore, except sometimes on weekends…

“But you should’ve seen him, when he first got me”: from what we get. She’s his joy.

“My boy, only breaks his favorite toys”: only me. He cares only about Jolie.

“I’m queen, of sand castles he destroys”: Jolie trying to built up trust and durability, despite being away, locked in Foxfire, while he is getting deeper and darker into his loneliness.

“Cause it fit too right, puzzle pieces in the dead of night”: that line is about Jolie trying to understand. Discovering the Neverseen. Infiltrating. As recomposing a puzzle of what’s going on.

“I should’ve known it was a matter of time”: before she’d go down in flames cause she played with fire.

“There was a litany of reasons we could’ve played for keep this time”: all the love they shared. All the power they had. All her sweetness. But this didn’t work enough to take him out.

“I know I’m just repeating myself”: each time she goes to see him, saying the same words over and over again, he is not alone, she won’t abandon him.

“Put me back on my shelf”: more time passes, less effective her words of reassurance are.

“But first pull the string”: she loved him till the end, even knowing, even playing double-agent, so she still asks him to tell he loves her.

“And I’ll tell you that he runs because he loves me”: Brant just running away cause he doesn’t want to put her in danger, but he is danger.

“Cause I knew too much”: definitely. She’s been executed on order of the Neverseen probably, she knew too much of the organization and was seen as a traitor, a threat.

“There was danger in the heat of my touch”: *his touch. There is danger in them. In their situation, in how the world treats them.

“He saw forever so he smashed it up”: forever can be scary if you’re not used to real love, and I doubt Brant got the knowledge outside of what the Ruewens gave him

“Once I fix me, he’s gonna miss me”: she never get the chance to fix things. But he still misses her. Every day.

“Just say when, I’d play again”: never letting him down. Never. Just waiting to see him. To play with him as children.

“He was my best friend, down at the sandlot”: they’re childhood friends, childhood lovers, they were best friends before lovers.

“I felt more when we played pretend, than with all the Ken’s”: he is her special person. Her love. So whatever, even if she had the galas for her lists, she feels more with him. Even though they couldn’t get married.

“Cause he took me out of my box, stole my tortured heart”: Brant loved her too. I think he fell first, she fell harder. But he loved her. They had love.

“Left all these broken parts”: as long as they were together, till the last day, it was ok. It would be fine. The broken pieces and the sadness could be forgotten.

“Told me I’m better off”: when he tries to dissuade her to continue. Tries to push her away.

“But I’m not”: without him she doesn’t live. But with him, she died…

I am rereading Exile and the Ruewens’ visit to Brant, especially their conversation catching him up on the past year, hits different when you read it knowing that Brant is a member of the Neverseen.

I like this..

No offense to @brant--redacted

I need Silveny to help me sleep or something because my insomnia is honestly not cute. My face is about to be as fucked up as Brant’s was (from sleep deprivation)

[book-lover85]

ok so the obvious parallel is Brant as Keefe and Jolie as Sophie

but what about the opposite

Sophie losing her sanity because Keefe died (or she thought he did)

Keefe being her moral compass, her only connection to some shred of sanity and goodness

his death being the final straw

Keefe calming down a Sophie who's not fully there

petition to call fintans half of the neverseen (brant, ruy, alvar, and gethin) the cuntistadors

[mynamisfab]

… This was supposed to be for the PLMM poll but I didn’t finish it until now, so… Here we are!

[sophies-earbuds]

do yall think alden's parents were at alvar's tribunal

or edaline and juline's parents at sophie and dex's planting, losing two more grandchildren

gisela's parents finding out what she's done, how she's hidden her ability since childhood all to be underestimated, and wondering where they went wrong

cassius's parents refusing to even speak to him once he's removed from his title of emissary. and when word gets out that keefe made it to exillium, his fathers only words to him in decades are, "he's still more of a Sencen than you."

brant's mother and father falling further into their guilt, wondering how they missed something so important. they missed everything, and people died for it. why didnt he just tell them? maybe they could have helped. maybe they could have saved him...

elwin's parents as he calls home and tells them of this talented, brave girl he just can't stop bringing back to life, and they worry about how much of a toll it takes on him to see so much violence, to lose these children over and over

grady's parents when the council put the ability restrictor on sophie, and they're suddenly taken back to a hundred years ago, watching their son manifest and being told, "he's too powerful."

[ann-lol]

Fintan mourned the death of Brant and nobody can tell me otherwise!

“HE THOUGHT OF BRANT LIKE A SON!” I scream as they drag me to the asylum.
