[bookcub]

oh you know I gotta ask: kkc

ahhhhh thank you, so glad you joined the madness of this series XD

the first character i ever fell in love with: kvothe, seeing him at 12, absolute annoying know it all, so clever and so annoying, I related hard when I was 13 

a character that i used to love/like, but now do not: bast. the lightning tree made me not like him and now i think he is creepy 

a ship that i used to love/like, but now do not: I was never really into Bast x Kote but every time I reread, I realize more and more I don’t want their dynamic to become romantic 

my ultimate favorite character™: I can never decide between Auri and Denna, I am very very attached to them both and can never get enough content for them 

prettiest character: Fela!!! sooooo pretty!!! 

my most hated character: Probably Hemme, he is so infuriating, I hate when teachers try to humiliate students and when their ultimate goal is not teaching. 

my OTP: denna and kvothe but post therapy 

my NOTP: uhhhh mola x wil was popular for a while and it felt too convenient for me and also mola is an aro lesbian in my eyes 

favorite episode: hard to say what counts as an episode, but I love the sections of the University most 

saddest death: oh my god, his parents!!! also so terrifying. that scene. . .chills every time 

favorite season: I guess book 1. . .. maybe? 

least favorite season: I suppose book 2??? 

character that everyone else in the fandom loves, but i hate: Bast and Elodin have never had my love, despite popular opinion 

my ‘you’re piece of trash, but you’re still a fave’ fave: Kvothe smh. trash is a strong word but he is an absolute mess 

my ‘beautiful cinnamon roll who deserves better than this’ fave: Auri and Denna for sure!!! because I can’t not put them here 

my ‘this ship is wrong, nasty, and makes me want to cleanse my soul, but i still love it’ ship: 

my ‘they’re kind of cute, and i lowkey ship them, but i’m not too invested’ ship: Sim x Fela x Wil *heart eyes* also I have written some stuff for Mola x Devi in the past but these days I think they would be in a qpr rather than a traditional romance 

Send me a fandom!!!

I'd love to hear your theory on how Elodin got into the fae 👀

Okay, but first lemme insert a cute Elodin scribble here ;)

Now, to the real thing~

First, I have to declare that I only read Rothfuss’ books inhungarian and I’m not sure how much the translation affected my understanding.Second, I never really theorized anything before in any fandom (except right now I’m in The Dragon Prince Hell with a buddy) sooo I mightmake wild guesses. I welcome any addition or criticism because I’m pretty sureyou (or a bunch of other people in the KKC fandom) have read these books waymore times than me and know way more about it as I do… and again, I feel like I’m bad at making theories and even tho I spent like forever organizing my thoughts it came out like rambling…

So then, let’s see how Elodin, my baby boi, has any relationto the Fae. Pretty much the only thing we know he knows something of the Fae isthat he recognized Kvothe’s enshade (is it how Kvothe’s cloak is called inenglish?). How the heck can he know that tho? I doubt he just recognized itbecause he read about in a book description or something. I’d guess he has seenone before. If he did, he either saw someone wearing it either in Temerant(which isn’t a common sight) or he’s been to the Fae realm. If he did so, itseems pretty suspicious that his visit was around the time he was Chancellor.He went there, somehow came back, went mad and somehow his student went nutstoo in the process. To be honest, I feel like if I add more to this that’d berather my headcanons than actually relying on the text. Other than that onecould think that Elodin sorta did the same thing as Kvothe: he went to Ademre,met Felurian but he just changed a wee bit more than Kvothe did. It would kindaexplain why Elodin is so interested in talking about sex. But I’m pretty surethat’d be just poor storytelling which I doubt papa Rothfuss would commit to.

So, instead, I’m thinking about something else: what isElodin is one of the Fae? I’m pretty sure some people out there could prove mewrong (you are more than welcome tho!) but hear me out: what if he’s a bitweird because he has zero idea about normal human social interactions? He asksof his students to tell him random facts because he’s fascinated with thisworld and wants to know more? He’s into being nude and having sex, because, theFae might be interested in that stuff in general (I’m not sure if all the Faeare tho, but Felurian and Bast are at least, I don’t know). Like, if he was oneof the Fae, that’d explain how he knows of the enshade. Also that part in Wiseman’ fear, where Kvothe meets Felurian: in every other sentence he describeshow Felurian’s eyes/voice/everything is similar to Elodin’s (now there’s thisthing that Kvothe’s eyes changed when he came back from the Fae realm too… I’lloverlook that because I can, lol). But then Elodin was admitted to theUniversity at a young age, right? Maybe either he was a lost little baby Faethen or simply he used some magic to make himself look young? He could behalf-fae too oh my heart… And even if the Fae have their own magic, I’m prettysure they can learn naming since I guess Bast knows it too (because in the end ofWMF, there are rings of various materials in his room). But then what happenedwhen Elodin was abdicated from being Chancellor? Maybe he organized a schooltrip to the Fae and it didn’t turn out well XD

So I dunno,  I’mhaving fun thinking about this stuff… and oh man Elodin looks even hotter withpointy ears so let me have some wild guessing X) And uh, in the end I hope this was somewhat enjoyable! If you got this far in reading, feel free to request KKC art XD

[incorrectkingkillerquotes]

For the character ask: Auri!

Why I like them: It takes a strong person to find even small amounts of joy in her life when she is in such a dark place. She removed herself from society to take care of herself and found a system that worked for her. That’s truly amazing to me. 

Why I don’t: um. . . no reason, I adore her!! 

Favorite episode (scene if movie): All of them (but currently, I really love her interactions with Elodin and that whole scene) 

Favorite season/movie: Slow Regard of Silent Things 

Favorite line: “I am as lovely as the moon.” 

Favorite outfit: All her cute little dresses sound amazing 

OTP: Auri x happiness!!! 

Brotp: She deserves all the bors but she really only wants one and that’s Kvothe. I loved her little scene with Mola and I want more of that. 

Head Canon: She used to be Elodin’s student 

Unpopular opinion: She’s aro ace, and I refuse to change my mind. 

A wish: For her to stay in her Underthing and have a friends who stop by to check on her and they exchange gifts, but don’t invade her privacy. 

An oh-god-please-dont-ever-happen: Oh, God. Die or end up in the Haven, be imprisoned for trespassing, taken away from her Underthing. . . the list goes on 

5 words to best describe them: brave strong kind thoughtful whimsical 

My nickname for them: I keep wanting to call her my angel, but not cause she’s a literal angel but a metaphorical one!! 

Send me a character!!! 

[noblushingdaisy]

Elodin?

Sexuality Headcanon: bisexual (possibly aromatic . . .) Gender Headcanon: genderqueer, but he doesn’t label itA ship I have with said character: . . . no one. . . ??? A BROTP I have with said character: Denna and Elodin as a mentor ship, I already wrote them meeting, the SALT these two would spill (ps I want to see Kilvin and Elodin interact more as well) (oh and of course, Auri interactions, but I want everyone to be bros with Auri) A NOTP I have with said character: Kvothe x Elodin, as a romance, I like what they have now, don’t make it weird y’all A random headcanon: He def has a full garden filled with carrots, green beans, calla lillies, marigolds, and pot (and various other plants as well) General Opinion over said character: I generally enjoy reading most of his scenes, but he often rubs me the wrong way and I would hate him if I had him as a prof. Like, HATE. My favorite scenes with him are with Auri and at the end of WMF. 

Send me a character!!!

@bookcub there *goes hide in a corner*

The kkc fic no one asked for:

Elodin often took walks on the University’s roofs at night. It was pleasant, to thread unseen, to enjoy the cool autumn’s air, to hear the song of the wind through the leaves. He didn’t expect to see anyone as he made his way around a large brick chimney – but of course it’s when you least expect things that life throws them your way.

There were two people standing on the sun-warmed tar.

“Master Elodin, how nice to meet you,” said the first one gently. This one was not the most surprising. After all, Re’lar Kvothe had demonstrated an affinity for roofs in the past.  No, it was the girl standing at his side that startled Elodin. She was still as a deer, ready to leap away if he proved the slightest threat.

It was a girl Elodin had seen many times before. It was a girl who was right to be scared.

“Hello there,” he answered, trying to match the young man’s casual tone. It was foolish to hope the girl would indulge his presence at this gathering, but still, a small part of him could not help but hope.

“Master Elodin.”

The girl had spoken after all. He almost didn’t notice her curtsey, shaken as he was to hear her voice. It had been months since he glanced her last, and more since she deigned address him at all. He bowed deeply in return.

Of all the things he owed her, respect was the least of them.

X

Once upon a time, he had been in charge of the whole place. Once upon a time, he had been in charge of teaching a bright young student about names.

He would have enjoyed the task no matter her rank, quick and lovely as she was. She seemed to soak in knowledge, and to give the world around her a shine, and any contribution he could make to that made him feel happy. It made him feel part of this world.

Of course, teaching princess Ariel was also very much an honor. It brought prestige to the University, to shape the mind of a future ruler. It brought prestige to him, as the youngest Chancellor in history, to take the chance to further its reach and standing through the Four Corners of Civilization.

But it was neither of these were the reason why he enjoyed teaching her. The truth was simpler: she understood naming in a way few could even aspire to – even him. He felt as if he learned as much during their lessons as she did.

And so he taught her, as much and as often as his other responsibilities allowed him. He taught her to charm fire to her will, and to sing along with the wind. He taught her to listen to the quiet whisper of the river. He taught her everything he could and everything he knew.

How foolish he was to believe he could keep her safe, when he couldn’t even save himself.

X

Minds were fragile things. He should have known it – he’d visited Haven, seen his predecessors lying in torpor or heaving at their bindings. Trying to hurt themselves before they could hurt others.

Had he been naïve or merely pretentious, to think naming wouldn’t break him?

Princess Ariel was trying to learn the name of stone. It wasn’t one of the handful he knew, so he tried alongside her. He saw the instant her mind got too close to becoming stone itself, the way she wrenched her consciousness from it in fear. Years later, he’d still hear the way her mind tore. Like a thousand sheets ripped from a precious book. Like a flightless bird dying. Like something trapped and scared. It wasn’t enough – she was still about to fall in, to give her mind to the stone and let her body behind to rot.

Suddenly, he could see the paths before him – he too was sliding into the stone, and he had time to do only one thing.

He didn’t even hesitate. It was his fault she attempted this folly, and his responsibility when things went sour. He called her name –like a child calls their mother, like the dead call to the living, like a dozen lines of the sweetest poetry. He called her name, and freed her of the stone, and left her in pieces.

She ran, as if distance would save her, unaware that she was already as safe as anyone could make her.

She ran, and he couldn’t reach his hand to touch her, couldn’t form the words to stop her, couldn’t even grip his own thoughts as they slowed to the rhythm of the stone beneath his feet, unchanging and unmoving, trapping him in a silence that would last a week, and a madness that would last two years.

2 11 23 26?

//2. Oh man this is like one of my fav things to tell people for some reason? Okay so, back in highschool I was getting ready for my exchange trip to Japan, and little sophomore me was like ‘but moooooooooooooom i HAVE to take a book�� and she tried getting me to take shit I had already read; I refused. So while we were out shopping for things I needed for the trip, I demanded we go to Barns & Noble after. 

While we were in Best Buy looking for a camera I could carry around easily, the dude helping us was talking a bunch of fandom shit I was into (cause the shirt I was wearing) and books came up. I shit you not, this dudes whole face lit up and he grinned when he heard me ask ‘What books would you recommend for a long flight’. Name of The Wind left his mouth so fast I thought he was going to fucking piss himself. He went on and on about how the characters were written, and the plot, and how his girlfriend got him into it when they met. He said specifically. “This book is the best, you have to read.” 

So, I got it, and started it in Japan cause of that dude. Thanks Best Buy dude.

11. The sin bin I created as a joke, Ambrose x Kvothe, anything underaged (IM SERIOUS I FIND OUT ANY OF YOU SHIP THAT SHIT IM GOING TO BEAT YOUR ASS), Kvothe x Chandrian (that is a thing I swear to god I’ve seen murmurs of it in dark places). Uh, basic things like that.

23. I only really have one: Mat Mercer as Elodin. I don’t care to fan cast much myself, because I enjoy what I see in my head and also hope to see that Hamilton guy and Pat have some say in the show not white washing the fuck out of POC int he book. Like unless actually casting POC as POC is fancasting, I don’t do it.

26. Oh man this is actually a really really difficult one? More so because I never really count my words or those others say, but I can feel when they are just right? if that makes any sense at all. The book is FULL of 7 word phrases than just make my heart melt or makes me emotional uGH! I don’t have my books with me right now :( they are all in boxes :’( but I’m sure you guys could imagine some of my favs//

[bookcub]

For the character thing: Auri.

First impression: ohhh interesting, who is this? 

Impression now: LOVEEEE and I would die for her 

Favorite moment: When she tells Kvothe he can come stay with her

Idea for a story: idk I don’t have one 

Unpopular opinion: ummm . . .she’s not the moon or fae, she’s very very human 

Favorite relationship: Auri x Kvothe is the only real relationship and I do love it a lot

Favorite headcanon: she and elodin know each other from before she started living in the Underthing 

Send me a character!!!

[aventisz]

Another Elodin scribble :D

Also another little theory/headcanon/bold assumption/I dunno thing below ;)

And as I said in my earlier posts I don’t think I’m good at making theories but I kinda enjoy them XD And on a sidenote I googled “is Elodin a Fae?” and I was happy and surprised other people are guessing the same stuff I do! So, if I again make another theory that everyone and their mom

But now another thing came to mind: what if while Elodin is pretty darn good at learning the names of things, he’s a dummy when it comes to actually giving names (or nicknames)?

I’m thinking this because when it came to name Kvothe’s invention (that stuff that catches arrows) Elodin came up with Bloodless, and Kilvin was like: „wow, that’s pretty shitty but if that’s the best you can come up with, then fine”. Shouldn’t Elodin, the pro namer, give a name to that thing that everyone agrees on as a fine, fitting name? And while one could argue that either Elodin just wasn’t in the mood, or he wasn’t interested, or the creator himself couldn’t come up with a name for it, then what are we expecting?

But then remember how amazed Elodin was when Kvothe said he named Auri? Elodin tells him that Auri doesn’t mean sunshine, and Kvothe is surprised too. In that scene as I remember Elodin is really surprised that Kvothe came up with that name, and that it was kinda unintentional and unconscious. And then it was kinda ironic that Elodin’s and Kvothe’s roles switched for a moment, because Kvothe was then the unintentional but successful namer, while Elodin was the nerd who spoke a bunch of languages but still couldn’t coin up a name that has a meaning.

So what I’m saying is, what if our baby boi Elodin lacks a wee bit of creativity? Like, when he’s talking to Kvothe on the roof and he really, really tries to make an association for the phrase „breaking one’s neck” and he comes up with something weird that doesn’t really fit into the context (in the hungarian translation at least). I’m even thinking what if he’s being weird all the time because he’s trying to squeeze out a bit of creativity of himself? Like, otherwise he’d be too smart and logical and reasonable.

…idk I think that’d be cute… and sad. Like, knowing how to call things by name but being a bit untalented at actually coming up with names X)

Fic Masterlist

Here’s all my fanfic with AO3 links!!! 

A Moment with Denna - A look into Denna’s head about how she is feeling about her life and Kvothe. Basically, me trying to get people to empathize with Denna because I adore her. 

Bright as the Sun - How Mola and Auri would stay friends after being introduced by Kvothe. This came about because I need more female interaction in this series.  

An Exchange of Favors - Mola and Devi reconnecting after all this time. . . and gay. It’s gay. Idk if I came up with Devi x Mola or someone suggested it but I want it to be a thing now. 

Good Morning - Sim and Fela wake up and there’s lots of fluff. I’m a sap and felt inspired at 3am so idk what this is. 

Runaway - Denna and Kvothe being total angst fests. I was thinking about Gilmore Girls and Rory and Jess and how they are so similar but in different places in their lives. 

 Not Crazy - A look into Elodin and his backstory and a lot of angst. Also, kind of me commenting on the lack of language there has been in the past to describe mental illness.  I’m not the biggest fan of the character so I wanted to get him more. 

What's in a name? - This was to fill a prompt and it’s from Foxen’s pov and it’s about Auri and The Underthing. 

Kote, Not Kvothe - Kote/Kvothe angst was the prompt which turned into naming angst. It was quite fulfilling to write an insight about Naming and naming. 

A Romantic Moment - Denna and Kvothe’s first kiss!!! Very small, but totally self-indulgent. 

Aka The Moon - Denna being a vigilante and saving people and being a bad ass. Basically, a bunch of headcanons thrown together. 

Lovely Women - Prompt filled for Denna and Auri’s friendship. Again, totally starved for female interaction in this series. 

Modern Day Elodin and  Modern Day Kilvin - If Kilvin and Elodin were modern day college professors. Based on my personal college experience. 

Let's Go Steal a Kvothe - What if the Leverage crew came to Temerant? Because John Rogers is working on the TV Series. 

Hamilton at the University - Exactly what it says. Because Lin Manuel Miranda is working on the TV show. 

Kingkiller Theater AU - If the University was a modern day college and the character were all theater nerds. Because we don’t see Kvothe acting enough and I often think of what he’d be like irl. 

A Significant Encounter - How Denna and Elodin would meet because I think after Kvothe told him about Denna, Elodin decided he wanted to help her. 

Like the Burning End of a Midnight Cigarette - A fic based on Whiskey Lullaby by Brad Paisley and Alison Krauss. Depressing af. Check the tags before reading. 

There was no choice to make - What would happen if Kvothe saw Cinder being Master Ash with Denna.
