i completely and absolutely hallucinated the last time i read firestar apparently bc i was ten thousand percent sure russ shot beargstrom at the end. i thought that man was so dead. so imagine my surprise rereading tfe properly rn.

(i was already too confused by whos who irt the bears last time anyway so if anything its making me feel LESS stupid that i just misread a paragraph and fucked up the entire plotline for myself <- it will happen again)

consider this a public acknowledgment that it turns out idk what the hell is happening in these books, soz <3 i will continue to lie by accident and make shit up 🥰

#rangnar rambles #if you ever read a matt ragnars tooth tag about how Mysterious bergstrom is and how little happened with him just know: i forgor #tbf he doesnt do MUCH more than i misremembered. i still dont know what his deal is. but in the intended way now <3 #anyways my tragic old man yaoi just got less tragic and tbh i preferred it when i thought they killed eachother /j #turns out. if you read carefully #the plot makes sense.#this is not foolproof (good god it is Not foolproof) alas. it does help to not devour seven books in a weekend #relatedly i read fireworld way too young and had reocurring dreams about it that i then was very confused about on my initial reread #(i was 8 when that thang came out. didnt read the book properly again for 12 years. Bewildered and appauled that lucy was not locked #in a tower and tam was a full knight in real armour </3)#everyone was stuck in a like. roman bath ruin. and also were sometimes statues. could not tell you what i thought was happening #could tell you i was entranced by the weeping angels dw episode and live near roman bath ruins. and have arthurian autism #you know what. embarrasingly i know exactly why i misread this bit of firestar. its bc i was so stressed out (from the books tension.#nothing else in my new adult life i was living) that i was blitzing through the last third #the tension worked on me so well i made up a character death. and then confirmed it for myself bc if davids not safe #why the hell would bergstrom be <- not flawed logic persay. still stupid #and i know this bc it happened AGAIN #i am not immune to the emotional impacts of firestar...#i can look at it and go 'hmm this structure is maybe a bit rushed and idk that it was a good idea to introduce huge changes/characters #in the last 100 pages' but it is also my favourite in the series for those exact reasons. i love a book that makes me sprint and trip on my #face. i love not knowing what the fuck is happening at any point in time #i loved when i thought bergstrom and russ were in love and russ killed him in an act of mercy he didnt know he was committing 😔but ill LIVE #I GUESS. if i MUST #in all ramble posts i hit a point of 'thats too many tags. into the drafts of shame it goes!'. and then keep talking anyway #and eventually hit 'this is absurdly too many tags. PERFECT.' guess where we are
