as much as i love the legendborn fandom sometimes it really sucks to be a selnickbree shipper in here. sometimes you cannot talk about selnickbree without people popping into your notes like "omg no selbree/nickbree needs to be endgame" LIKE I GET IT. YOU DON'T LIKE SELNICKBREE. like you're allowed to dislike the ship but that doesn't mean you have to fight tooth and nail to defend yourself the second it's mentioned. like i think selnickbree is endgame and i don't particularly like selbree but if someone disagrees with me i leave them be! bc that's how it works! there is so much more to this series than what's going to be endgame so why is everyone always beefing over ships???

honestly i'm worried about march because if we do get selnick/selnickbree some of yall are not going to take it well. but like this is tracy deonn we're talking about. let her cook and if you don't like what she's cooking? maybe this series isn't for you.

anyways this isn't directed at anyone in particular i just wanted to yap for a bit

I have some "unpopular" Legendborn opinions I want to share. We can agree to disagree because I love to hear your own opinions.

There will be spoilers from Legendborn and Bloodmarked so read this post at your own risk.

1. I ship Bree with Nick. You can say I am Team Nick as much as I like the idea of Bree and Sel being end game. Nick has always been good to Bree since the very beginning unlike Selwyn. Yes I know Sel redeemed himself by saving Bree during the many times she was in danger but I still want Bree and Nick to be endgame (unless he is killed off which will make me sad 😢).

2. On the topic of shipping, I do not agree with the idea of breeselnick being a thing. I'm not against polyamorous relationships and I see valid reasons why the three of them should be together. My reasons why I'm against this ship is because:

- Bree is far too young for this. She just turned 17 towards the end of Bloodmarked. I believe a polyamorous relationship is too much for a teenage girl like her to deal with.

- Bree has a lot of trauma she needs to heal from before she even thinks of forming a complicated relationship such as a polyamorous one.

- Jealousy and competition will eventually happen. I can definitely see Sel and Nick competiting for the affections of Bree.

3. I hate Sar (Sarah) as much as I hate her girlfriend Tor. I know Sar is a kind character who has always defended Bree and treated her well unlike most. I can't get over how could someone stay in a relationship with someone as racist and horrible as Tor. I understand that love can sometimes make you see someone through rose-colored glasses and ignore every red flag. I don't know about you but racism and any form of bigotry is a huge turn off for me. Sar continuing to date Tor after everything makes Sar just as complicit. What's worst is that Sar is half Latina and dealt with racism in the past. She should know better and I say this as someone who is also Latina (fully not half).

4. As much as the romance in the Legendborn series is both cute and fun, it is not the main reason why I enjoy this series. I enjoy reading Bree's journey and her story. Learning about her ancestry and her connection to Rootcraft was one of the best aspects to the series. I love how Tracy handles uncomfortable topics such as racism, slavery, etc in a way that is informative and fits her story. It is also amazing to have a Black/WOC protagonist in a fantasy story.

Bree describes Sel's eyes as twin suns and Nick's as twin moons and I find that funny

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. 🥹🥹

i have missed them ❤️️⚔️💙

I will properly ink this and color it later. For now it was just rattling around in my head.

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.

the oathbound cover made me totally calm and chill and not insane
