#has robin hobb recanted yet? she literally wrote this ending

[commandercoriandersalamander]

two dudes... sitting in a hot tub stone wolf... souls mingled into one complete being but they're not gay

#fitz and the fool #lmao theyre so gay #has robin hobb recanted yet? she literally wrote this ending #with a callback to the 'no limits on that love' line #did she think that was a heterosexual conclusion to these nine books #i know people on tumblr like to call queer headcanons 'literally canon' and then when you consume the media its like #they talked twice and made eye contact and one of them wears a stylish coat #and so if you haven't read the books but have seen the fandom you might think 'oh so some subtext?' #'theyre friends who have an emotional connection which could feed shippers?' #no #this is textually canon across both their character arcs and the larger themes of the series #reinforced through repeated narrative symmetry and also the fact that they have kissed and confessed their love multiple times #robin hobb is FASCINATING to me like imagine someone writing a story about a guy with 'hair the color of autumn leaves abd foxes' #and then getting mad when people interpret him as anything other than a blond #bestie you WROTE THIS
