A world without books would be torture
A world without this book specifically would be nothing at all

After 2 years of GMing, I have yet to meet a cisgender White Witch pilot. Come to think of it, I have yet to meet a sane one...
She would marry Stenluke if she could. That woman is for the battlefield.

I wonder how trans people are treated in Yurgenschmidt's noble society sometimes. The core identity of being a noble is having a lot of mana, so there's a bit of me that hopes and prays that they wouldn't care as long as they kept doing their job. Maybe Flutrane would help the trans mortals who prayed to her, embracing change and healing. Though on the other hand, Noble society is so ruthlessly conservative and status-based that I fear for those who don't have the protection of someone with actual power. Worst case scenario, the Temple is always an option I guess...
At first I was kind of iffy about him going for marriage even though that's what the series has been setting up for a while, but then I kept reading and honestly it was done very well.

no no no but it’s like. the way that ferdinand is like, “i want to marry you because my deepest desire has always been to be part of a real family and to experience love.” and myne is like, “i don’t know what romantic love is, and i don’t think i can give that to you, but you’re so important to me that i want to spend my life by your side.” and ferdinand is like, “i don’t care that you can’t feel romantic love for me as long as we can be each other’s family.” DO YOU GET IT???? IT’S LIKE. PEOPLE CAN LOVE AND WANT TO BE TOGETHER OUTSIDE THE FRAMEWORK OF ROMANCE.
this was never a romance but it was always a love story because it’s a story about FAMILIAL LOVE. it’s about a man who was always treated as a tool by his blood family meeting a woman who learned the hard way how rare and beautiful the love of family is and then they both get ripped away from the ones who taught them about that love! myne gets ripped away from her lower city family. then ferdinand gets ripped away from myne. and everyone’s telling myne she only cares about him because she’s in love with him, and she’s like, “no! it’s because he’s my FAMILY.” and then she saves his life and people want to rip them apart again so they’re both like, “fuck it, if the only way you people will leave us alone and let us care about each other is if we get married then we will!” and ferdinand sets it all up so that the only person that can keep them apart is myne herself, so that it’s all her decision. and he cares about her happiness so much that he is even willing to take on the burden of ruling alexandria alone so that she can go back to her family!!!!! because he knows that family is the most important thing to her, and thanks to his experiences with her, it’s the most important thing to him too now!!!!
and instead of leaving him to go back to her family, she chooses to bring him into her family instead!!!!!!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! AND THEN SHE OFFERS TO EMBROIDER HIS CAPE BECAUSE ONLY FAMILY CAN DO THAT AND HE’S NEVER HAD ANY FAMILY WHO COULD EMBROIDER HIS CAPE BEFORE!!!!!!!!!!!
thinking about this song again
