one of my favourite underrated moments is when beloved tells fitz how bee is their love-child and fitz is trying to rack his brain for when he had sex with the fool. LIKE, rote is a romcom actually
genuinely stunned at the fantastic choice for Percy not to pray to his absent and unknown father—like he did in the books—but to his mother.
the show is really taking us to one of riordan’s central theses straight off the bat.
parenthood isn’t about power and legacy and the recognition of shared blood.
It’s about the incredible act of showing up for your child—again and again and a-fucking-gain. That’s how you inspire respect. That’s how you become a child’s patron and beloved god.
one of the best decisions hobb made in the f&f trilogy was giving beloved a little gnc apprentice… big brain energy of her
beloved being an elder queer for the rote lgbt community passing on their knowledge to the next generation. He threw the first brick at the six duchies stonewall by punching civil in tawny man
*Edit* because what the hell is recall??? Is it possible to learn this power? I want a switch, I want to play the gameeee ;_;
Also Link, expent the rest of his existence wondering why didn´t he use recall on the house. Every night he had night terrors about it. Why Link? Why didn´t you use it???!!!
Actually, one little detail I find very amusing is that when Simon Petrikov first introduces himself in the ‘Holly Jolly Secrets’ tapes he says he’s studying to be an antiquarian
But in every other appearance since then he just says he is an antiquarian.
Implying either Simon, while the Crown was actively driving him crazy and his life was falling apart and he was probably crying about Betty every night
still managed to finish his academic degree.
Or he's just smoothing over the truth to make himself seem more scholarly.
