#lady patience

[izzi-illustrates]

When I expressed a curiosity about the tattooers' art, she refused to let me mark my own body, say I was too young for such a decision. But without the least qualm, she let me observe, and finally assist with the slow pricking of dye into her own ankle and calf that became a coiled garland of flowers.

There's barely one paragraph about what Patience's relationship with Fitz was like outside of the main events of the books, but I think so much about these lines about her tattooing her own leg while he watches. I love them, your honour.

fitz shouldve told patience about chade. I think she would have beat him to death with her hands

hi hii hello tumblr i'm here to show you my simple realm of the elderlings sketches because i'm reading it now :^

[mariajamel]

I've been feeling quite bad about my art for a while now and I decided to compile some of my Realm of the Elderlings fanarts as a reminder to myself that I've never drawn this much in a single year before (and it's not even August yet) and that being hard on myself won't get me anywhere. If anything, it only kills the motivation to draw. Hopefully it gets better, because there's so much I wanna draw!

Because I am a normal and healthy person I made a whole family tree of the Farseers (only up to the end of Assassin's Quest, I am not entirely insane yet,)

Anyway please enjoy this helpful and bonkers reference that I've made for feral Hobb fans

This happened to my friend Burrich the Buckkeep stable master

[wizardnaturalist]

do you guys think patience was the one to prepare chivalry's body too

[don-quixote-and-sancho]

Thinking about that post that said like"the reason commercial straight romance is so awful is because you drown in the heteronormativity of it all because it's written by the straightest women Alive"

And I think that goes like double for rote because like Robin Hobb already accidentally wrote the

"oops all bisexuals"

Book series, can you imagine what we could've gotten if Robin Hobb was a deranged queer lady? Imagine what we could've gotten. The 98.3% bisexual rote fandom (trust me def real guys) would be even more feral for these characters than we already are

Imagine if Molly was a derranged bisexual how cool of an ark she could've had

Just on my mind because holy fuck this series man

Like ah yes both Fitz and burrich are totally straight thanks Robin Hobb now collectively as a fandom we're gonna go whimper about what if burrich had put on that second saddle
