"If you are reading this, this is the first Fire-Message that has been sent with success. It has been written by Grace Blackthorn and invented by Christopher Lightwood."

ChoT pg 775, Will and fire messages <333

He (James) held a stack of charred paper in his hand. "I have just," he said, by way of greeting, "received a seventh fire-message from my father." He shuffled through the pages. "In this one, he says they are running late and they are ten minutes away. In this one, they are nine minutes away. In this one, they are eight minutes away. In this one ..."

"They are seven minutes away?" Matthew guessed.

James shook his head. "No, in this one he wants to know if we have enough mustard."

Anyways I think more people should realize that plus sized Targs are a thing that makes perfect sense within the world of asoiaf. Not only do we have multiple canon cases of plus sized Targs that aren’t just Aegon the Unworthy (Aegon II, Viserys, Rhaenyra, Helaena, Daeron II) but the royal family would have more access to food and luxuries. It’s not bad for a person to be plus sized, like it’s not evil, it’s perfectly normal and as much a part of their appearance as hair colour or fashion taste. I feel like people took “Targs look otherworldly and beautiful” and twisted it into “they only ever look like what we as modern biased viewers view as beautiful,” which ends up going completely against their descriptions in the books. Plus sized woman with a aquiline nose becomes skinny woman with a button nose. Be better people. BE BETTER!!!

Chain of Thorns, page 190:

Christopher: "And I shall send a bevy of my new fire-messages to everyone coming to the meeting."

James: "No! We can just send runners."

Christopher: "And fire-messages."

James: "All right. I shall notify the runners. And the fire brigade."

Yerim: Sometimes I remember that Yoohyun checks Yoojin's phone. He's so childish

Yerim: And then I remember that conflict and war is crucial for our evolution

Yerim: *takes Yoojin's phone and sends multiple lovey cringy messages with heart symbols to Sung Hyunjae*

Yerim: Let it begin 😏

this might be controversial, but man am i becoming increasingly convinced that buddie trutherism* is just not (and probably never has been) a very healthy way to engage with this show. *to be clear, by this i don't mean shipping buddie, or hoping it'll be canon, or thinking that it could be, i mean the completely unshakeable belief that it is absolutely going to happen (and to a lesser extent that it's always been the plan).

every single piece of evidence for buddie is evidence of a potential, often very compelling potential, but there is really nothing to suggest some big six season plan or any plan at all.

i'm sure a lot of these ppl (maybe even most) aren't bad, or doing anything out of malice. however, i do think having a large chunk of the fandom make post after post, week after week, season after season going "don't worry guys, buddie's definitely happening because of x, y or z," has helped create the current environment. where ppl have spent so long in a bubble where buddie's been presented as the only reasonable outcome, that they can't conceive of the idea they might've been wrong.

atp a lot of buddie meta isn't a queer reading of the show/relationship it's just straight up lies. no tommy isn't a miserable hater who never smiles at his bf, nor is he a predatory freak preying on sweet baby bi buck, and no eddie wasn't jealous at the wedding, no buck didn't realise he was in love with eddie when he came out to him. truly, after a decade in different fandoms, I don't think i've ever seen shipping goggles this bad.

again i don't think the ppl making meta/analysis about things that genuinely have some queer subtext to them are bad or doing anything wrong. but, when a narrative that you're contributing to is feeding into this much wider ecosystem that's influencing others to harass ppl and peddle homophobic dog whistles in an attempt to bridge the gap between their fanon and canon, at what point do you step back and go, "you know what, i don't think it's responsible for me to feed into this anymore."

and i worry that even the people who aren't hurting others with this kind of engagement, are gonna end up hurting themselves in the long run.

the rage I feel when reading Blood of Olympus chapters 45-56 is almost equivalent in magnitude to the absolute joy I experience when reading The Last Olympian chapters 1-23.

remember when percabeth was good? when they meant the world to each other but had other people they cared about (nico, for one. both of them. so much), other worries and other storylines aside from their romantic plot? and when nico's completed arc wasn't repeated for no reason other than to dump more trauma on the youngest character in the series? when background characters were included in the story not for all the unnecessary last minute romantic subplots but because they were fun and fascinating to learn more about? and were actually friends with main characters? remember when grover was percy and annabeth's best friend forever? and antagonists were actually interesting and intimidating and had compelling goals? and the story revolved around friendship and family and loyalty? and death was definite and loss was palpable and battles were thrilling?

yeah. good times.
