Oh my heart.
You left him!!!!!
Thinking about how FitzChivalry gets asked by two of his children about the nature of his relationship with the Fool and both times gives them an answer that only raises more questions
Like Dutiful corners him all, “Are you sleeping with Lord Golden? This is challenging to my homophobia” and Fitz tells him “we’re very close. But nothing weird is happening. I am not taking further questions at this time”
And then years later Nettle is like, “I heard some rumors about you and this Lord Golden guy…?” And Fitz tells her “I loved that man like I have loved no other.” And then I like to imagine that he takes a pause, just a little pause, mind you, but it’s the kind of pause that seems vastly longer than it is because really, there shouldn’t be any pause there at all. And Fitz continues, “I am not saying I loved him MORE than your mother but it was different. I Am Not Taking Further Questions At This Time.”
Do you think that the Skillmistress and the King, secret cousins and even more secret half siblings, ever got together at Buckkeep with a bottle of brandy and were like “so what is going on THERE??” Did they lock eyes over Fitz’s Wolf-Dragon as Fitz and the Fool merged and became one, and knew that whatever the FUCK Fitz had going on with that guy was far weirder and far, far more queer than they could ever understand? Did they ever talk about it or did they bury those questions deep down in true Fitz fashion and move on with their lives like “yes, our youngest sibling has two fathers, literally. I Am Not Taking Further Questions At This Time”
who else up suffering and wailing and gnashing their teeth and tearing out their hair and rending their clothes and screaming at the top of their lungs and throwing up and fucking dying
thinking about how Fitz and Beloved's first evening together in 15 years was spent sitting and talking and laughing in front of a hermit's fireplace and how their last one together for over 2 decades was spent sitting and talking and weeping together in front of another one
A quick fanart of Fitz and the Fool. I haven’t drawn them in so long, and my style changed so much, so I’m sorry if it’s disappointing! 🙇♀️
IM SORRY I HAVE LESS THAN 30 PAGES LEFT ON MY SILLY LITTLE PHONE SIZED E READER AND YOURE ASKING "WHAT ARE WE?"????
whoever said that the first and last scene between them are both of fitz beckoning beloved and offering to take him home i hope you never find peace
Gold and Buck blue
this is the plot of the last trilogy
my god how proud Im of Bee and her deadly bites
I was honestly so surprised that I’ve only seen one fanart of this scene?? It feels like something that could’ve been drawn a hundred times.
I love Amber so much.
I keep thinking about how, out of all the different versions of the Fool, she’s the one who gets to be the most emotionally open: She’s young and in love with Fitz, she has literal telepathic conversations with him every day for fifteen years, she does all these “foolish” things like creating a new face for Paragon, dreaming about a child and a family with Fitz when they become older. Yeah, she only said it out loud once — when she was just happy to see an old friend — and after that, she always called Bee Fitz’s daughter. And she kept stopping herself every time she got too close to that weird line between "my dear more than friend" and "it reminds me of Molly". And through all of it, she stayed so painfully alone. It’s just… heartbreaking.
Fitz said he didn’t like her — I forget what exact word he used, but honestly, whatever it was, he could’ve said the same about the Fool in general if he wanted to. Sure, he’s the most charming person in the world, but he’s also a manipulator, if he needs to be somewhere, he’ll get there, even if it means hijacking a ship full of hostages.
/Speaking of old friends — and one more thing that absolutely broke me — the dragons, yeah, they’re total assholes, but the way the dragons of the Paragon completely ignored Amber? You were jealous, you considered her your friend, and she was your friend, bringing you silver and all… Funny how, after becoming dragons, you just forgot about her ?
//I rarely write long texts — I have to double-check everything I write in English to make sure it’s still readable. But I have so many thoughts
There are also sketches made before I started reading the last trilogy. Just comfort things.
And a few more pictures I made while rereading parts of the assassins quest
The jealous Starling was really amusing to me.
Prophet and Catalyst
The scene it's based on:
No text + lineart appreciation versions
They seem like "really good friends"
assassins quest finale i love you
