talking to my mom bc she reads the series too;

she believes linh and marella are wlw

she thinks dex and alden are both bisexual

- this woman is straight and has no sense of gay for reference

hospital trip !

- today i had to get surgery on my acl and meniscus and itb (?) . i had a chronic knee injury that was wayyy overdo for surgery. and yes, as always i will relate this to kotlc!

- didn’t visit Elwin or Lizzy but my anesthesiologist might have been just a great !

- while this hospital was no Foxfire Healing Center, it was super clean and nice ! i felt so comfortable. this was my first time ever getting surgery and it went really well! it really was not scary at all and i am so glad i went through it - thinking of making a hospital tips thread or something in the future to help anyone out :)

- narcotics? haha no, i like to think of them as the pink glittery sedative Elwin offers- hoping my dreams will be filled with fantasy and sparkles tonight

- anyways, i expect to be a lot more active on here since i am stuck on the couch! finally going to finish the series (currently in middle of book 7)

- drink water and take phone breaks <3

sophie, struggling to keep upright in her 1 inch heels: Yeah, I don’t really think heels are for me

keefe, pointing at her and walking flawlessly in sparkly golden 6 inch heels: WEAK.

very annoying how so many characters have such an opportunity to be queer and aren’t. plus i would find it interesting to know how elves do view gender identity and lgbtqia relationships. there’s no way at least one species is gender no conforming.

Consider the following, please.

Nothing is known about Lesedi Chebota, mother of Maruca Chebota.

Nothing is known about Maruca’s other parent. 

Absolutely nothing.

Including gender.

So her other parent could be literally any gender.

Maruca has two moms.

It’s canon.

updating my pfp to lucy heartfilla because if they ever animated kotlc, i would expect sophie to look exactly like this :)

- might make more of these posts soon

perfect opportunity for shannon messenger to have some lgbt rep !!

no because where are they? it is really not hard to slip in some gay characters . the dragon prince did it perfectly, they just had gay couples- no thought about it. it is really not hard.

where are the gay elves?

okay so guess i’m going to make my first dive into the kotlc fandom a cannonball bc i am just. so. fed up. with the racism of canon kotlc

first case in point: the blue eyes

- there is no purpose to this?? the plot would be exactly the same without it

- it’s just so…glorifying eurocentric features like okay blue eyes are so exoticized and romanticized in media already even when the majority of the population has brown eyes

- the fact that all the poc have?? blue eyes?? tam and linh are described as having the lightest eyes when they are. poc. and would normally have brown eyes. idk seems like whitewashing to me

- the fact that only sophie (a white girl) is the only one with brown eyes. when the actual poc who’d naturally have brown eyes don’t. and the fact that her brown eyes are so romanticized

second case in point. the canon poc being sidelined

- wylie and maruca are black and they are some of the most sidelined characters AND wylie’s grief for his father and his whole arc disappeared about halfway through the series

- tam and linh song are asian and are also constantly sidelined in favor of the romance subplot

- tam and linh have trauma similar to keefe’s but theirs’ is not explored as much (this is not to negate keefe’s trauma. but. tam and linh deserve the same respect)

third case in point. the stereotypes

- tam and linh have overbearing, strict, and abusive parents which is a common asian stereotype

going to tag a few mutuals now: @artemiassamos @terranovas @hellshores

kotlc as marvel characters

(possible au where they are dressing up in disguise on Halloween in some human city)

Sandor : Hulk, no explanation needed

Dex : Iron Man, Tony Stark is obviously a technopath

Fitz : Captain America, solely because they have the same “wonder boy” energy

Sophie : Captain Marvel, both strong and pretty amazing girls who had their brains messed with and struggle to find the truth

Biana : Scarlet Witch, mostly because Biana would like the costume

Keefe: Loki, no explanation needed
