#lady patience

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

fitz & patience — the unremembered (prologue)

assassin’s quest - robin hobb / pietà by charles le brun (1644) / assassin’s quest - robin hobb / euripides, herakles tr. anne carson / anguish (detail) by august friedrich schenck (1878) / assassin’s quest - robin hobb

finished royal assassin. patience needs to hug fitz right now i'm not kidding

[wizardnaturalist]

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

[wintrowes]

this passage in assassin’s apprentice is always on my mind

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!

The Lady Patience, of Withywoods.

I always loved the description of Patience's rooms at Buckkeep; Hobb is brilliant at making a space feel real, so I wanted to try and do that myself a little.

Lady Patience - Queen of Diamonds

(My favorite so far)

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

I am overcome with love for lady Patience once more.

[wizardnaturalist]

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

[spectrum-color]

Do you ever think about how all of the major people in Fitz’s life represented different things to him? Like,

Beloved-true companionship with someone who can accept the parts of himself he usually prefers to keep hidden

Kettricken-his identity as a Farseer prince

Chade-his life in the shadows; being a bastard, a spy, and an assassin

Molly-normalcy; the life he would have led if he wasn’t a Farseer or the Catalyst

Nighteyes-living in the now and disregarding all of the complex circumstances of his life

Burrich-his Wit and all of the shame and fear that comes with it for him

Bee and Nettle-fatherhood and his various failings (though his storyline with Nettle is more about his relationship with Molly while with Bee it’s more about his relationship with Beloved)

Dutiful-the role he often plays as a hero and a mentor to the younger generation, even when he doesn’t want it

Starling-the depressed hermit who hides from the world and from himself (she always gets the worst of him)

Patience-what it’s like to have an actual caring parental figure

Verity-an idol; someone to serve and swear himself to
