There were a few parts of the Tawny Man trilogy that felt like Robin Hobb was trying to gaslight me about how much sense it made for Fitz to stay the hell away from the Farseers for some time.

Like respectfully ma'am I don't think Nighteyes would tell her she was failing her family by refusing to be in service to them. Nighteyes is flawed as any other character but I think as someone who shared a mind with Fitz he simply Would Not Say That.

#this is NOT abt her choice to stay away from nettle this is specifically about the farseers #like. i dont think it's selfish of Fitz to love them but not want to serve them #they abused her since she was six years old. she died both for and because of them. dutiful's whole conception mess.#like. i think it's very reasonable actually. for Fitz to want some distance! i dont think it's on the same level #as all the other ways she's run away from her life #now. dont get me wrong. i love reading about toxic familial relationships so i dont regret Fitz going back to them at all #i just would like the narrative to not try to convince me it's the only right path when i do actually remember the first trilogy thank you #rote
