“- isn’t this what God felt when he pressed together the first Beloved: Everything. Fever. Vapor. Atman. Pulsus. Finally, a sin worth hurting for, a fervor, a sweet - You are mine.”

Natalie Diaz, “These Hands, If Not Gods” Postcolonial Love Poem

The King, the Bastard and the Fool

the scene in Royal Assassin where Fitz learns that King Shrewd, his grandfather, is gravely ill. the Fool is also there of course

king Shrewd's pose is inspired by Lear and Cordelia by John Everett Millais

Media: watercolor and sepia ink on paper

I think Hoid and the Fool should meet.

I’d feel sorry for anyone they encountered together, but they’d have a great time.

fellas is it gay to lift your boy best friend off his feet in a hug upon seeing him for the first time in 15 years 🤔😳

Amber: paragon I am going to treat you with so much love and respect despite all the atrocities you have committed and I’m going to lovingly describe the world to you until you truly learn to trust me

Fitz: dutiful you’re sort of lame I’m gonna fucking kill you (x9)

[lavendercoded]

If Dutiful is biologically only Fitz's son that raises some interesting biological implications for Fitzloved when considering Bee.

A very interesting takeaway from the Farseer Trilogy so far (just started Assassin's Quest so no spoilers) that I have so far is that not only is Wit an unintentional allegory for queerness but it's also an even more unintentional allegory for autism! As an autistic person reading quite a few of the characters come across as autistic to me anyway, but focusing on Fitz specifically he has

- a very poor grasp of social cues

- a very specialised interest in both animal care and assassin things

- immediately after being revived after his month with Nighteyes he's on a similar level of functionality as an autistic person with high support needs, and in relearning to be a man he is relearning how to mask/cope

- continuing this, his constant dilemma of if he is more man or more wolf reminds me of my own personal struggle with how much of my personality is me masking vs my autism

Additionally

- Burrich's own internalised ableism (such as when he scolds Fitz for talking to Nighteyes or when he "kills" Nosy)

- whatever the fuck is going on with Kettricken

Honourable mentions go to the Fool, Patience and Verity who are also very very autistic but get differently stigmatised for it
