Kvothe is ambisextrous (bisexual) but he hasn't realized yet, an essay:

Okey, so this is my delulu shit and you can go with me or against me I don't care. Here we go:

Disclaimer: The author is totally cool with that idea so don't think that it couldn't be canon, because it COULD.

First, HAVE WE SEEN HOW OUR BOY TALKS ABOUT SIMMON?! Like dude, you have a gigantic crush on your mate, we get it. The only time the word "I love you" is written in the whole books is directed to Simmon from Kvothe. He says that they argue like newlyweds. When Simmon is reading that poem Kvothe makes the point to describe how handsome is Simmon. When he returns to Imre Simmon says that he is dating Fela, Kvothe makes a monologue on how Sim is the perfect boyfriend and he is just a turd (this boy as zero self esteem at his core)

Second, at the begining of the second book, at his first encounter with Denna, he gets jealous because that gentleman is really hot and has a lovely voice and it's totally unfair (we get it kid)

Third, all that bit pre-adem with Tempi, that boy got a crush on Kvothe and there are so many scenes when it could be turned out as a slow romance lol (they would be so cute as a couple)

And last, we get to his relationship with Bast. Patrick himself has joked multiple times that they are couple, or at least that Bast has a MASSIVE crush on our innkeper lol. So Kote and Bast own together the Inn, what two other men have an Inn? Exactly, Deoch and Stanchion who are a polyamorous couple and is where we discover the word "ambisextrous" that casually Kvothe knows and no one else among his friends (has he looked it up on the Archives? I totally can see our young Kvothe searching more info about his feelings)

Getting back with Bast, he is a Fae, a pansexual satyr nonetheless (pun intended), their chemistry doesn't go unnoticed among readers, specially the tenderness (that scene with Bast singing a lullaby to a wounded Kote), care (how he stitches him up and swapes his injuries althought Kote says that it's not necessary) and how he talks to him and about him to Chronicler (that bone chilling oath he makes towards his master).

At his own Kote sees Bast as someone a bit immature and who is like a child, I don't see quite romance on his side but who knows, he treats him with a lot of respect and care to not hurt his feelings.

Finally, my take is that Kvothe may not be as straight as he portrays himself to be and I'm desperate to read more fics with that in mind.

Thank you for coming to my TED talk

[incorrect-kkc-theories]

The Ritual that Bast does at the Lightning Tree before answering questions and dolling out favours links him (unbeknownst to himself or any other Fae) to the Cthaeh.

Granting him a touch of knowledge and insight, along with an extra helping of malice, and allowing the Cthaeh to influence him subtely but directly.

Think about it:

Fae at a Tree, Answers Questions, all Fae magic is either illusion or making something more of itself. So since no illusion occurred, and the most powerful Fae that answers Questions by a tree is the Cthaeh, to make the situation a greater version of itself, it must be more Cthaeh like.

Bast: “It's like everyone tells a story about themselves inside their own head. Always. All the time. That story makes you what you are. We build ourselves out of that story.”

Devi: "Welcome to the game. Thanks for playing."

if i had a nickel for every time in the last month i've read about my poor little meow meow having his best friend that accompanies him in his self-imposed exile after killing a king casually mention he might need sex not to solve all his problems since his problems are A Lot, but maybe as like a little thing to make him feel less like shit and the poor little meow meow in question rejects the idea, i'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot but it's weird that it's happened twice.

#i get it when people say i have a pattern #it's not my fault kvothe and murtagh both have Tendencies! #if they're both kingkillers. and they are. it's not something i was paying attention to when i decided they're my boys #it was purely coincidental #kvothe and murtagh: depressed and sad and in deep self-loathing #bast and thorn. unanimously: maybe you need sex #kvothe and murtagh: how about no. i love one (1) girl and one (1) girl only and she ain't around. plus other reasons #murtagh spoilers #the narrow road between desires #the narrow road between desires spoilers #kvothe #murtagh #kkc #the kingkiller chronicle

OK WAIT, NO CUZ L I S T E N-

I was looking for something in the first book, and I've always remembered the scene where Bast helps Kvothe into bed as describing Bast being close enough to feel Kvothe's breath on his face as he moves some hair away from his face, BUT THAT'S NOT IT- yes, he still moves the hair, but the breath? He smells Kvothe's breath (I guess to check something?), it's not just that he's close enough to feel it, BAST- please I am begging you, if you wanna kiss him, just say so

Help I can't stop thinking about them

The Narrow Road Between Desires (Patrick Rothfuss)

I was a bit lukewarm about this tbh but lbr I'm in too deep, of course I was gonna read it

I don't remember Lightning Tree all that well, but this definitely adds a lot

There isn't that much story, but it's Rothfuss, ambiance and worldbuilding are more of the point

There's a whole system of divination that wasn't touched in the main books

The illustrations are gorgeous and joyous

A lot of my issues with Lightning Tree were addressed

The book is surprisingly queer! Pan Bast! Trans rep and rights!

The treatment of abuse and how it is a cycle that can be broken made me cry

Also the author's note made me cry

I'm excited to reread this! And kkc! And find connections and stuff!

9/10

#im oscillating between 8.5 and 9 but tbh i think it does what it tries to do perfectly #its just that bast isn't my fave #the narrow road between desires #the kingkiller chronicle
