When Patrick Rothfuss said “In autumn everything is tired and ready to die” bro I think that’s just called seasonal depression

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

Relistening to all the KKC audio books with my boyfriend and wanted to draw Auri and Foxen running around On Top Of Things 🥰 (even though I know she doesn’t very much care for the moon always) I thought ‘what if they all had a dance party instead?’ 🤣🤣🤣

In my opinion, one of the best ever parts in The Name of the Wind was Kvothe's plan to get clean clothes lol
Like, yeah, of course it's a normal solution to run around in streets in nothing but a towel and act like a spoiled noble brat so people couldn't judge you, 10/10 plan my boi
Also the way acting made him happy 😭😭 he's a theatre kid

I cannot physically handle reading Wise Man’s Fear and having no more Kingkiller stuff to read. Finishing the first book is filling me with dread because I just wanna hang around in the story more. Any recommendations on something to start with similar vibes? I’m gonna read another book in between to spread it out 😅

Thoughts on Denna (from the Kingkiller Chronicles)?
Denna? My fucking girl? My fucking homeslice? My absolute favorite interrogation of the meaning of power and powerlessness?
I LOVE Denna. She and Kvothe are perfect for each other in a "don't inflict yourselves on anyone else" kind of way, but also, to reiterate a post I've made before, because they're both consummate actors. There is no real face behind the mask. The mask is their face. They both know this about each other, and everything falls apart when they try to show each other their "true selves" because neither of them have any idea what their own true self is.
I would say it's frustrating that she's only defined in relation to Kvothe, but I feel Rothfuss plays with that well enough to excuse. The way her actions and words sometimes lead the reader to a different conclusion than Kvothe is a fun and good execution on that.
Her self-effacing breakdown when she gives Kvothe the lute case is making me cry just REMEMBERING it. Her inability to handle her own imperfection that completely mirrors Kvothe's is such a wonderful way to bolster the depth of both characters.
The fact that she's almost objectively a social manipulation genius is the gorgeous icing on the cake. She's a savant at a skill that fucking sucks to make a living on, but she does her best to just grit her teeth and keep making that living.
I've dog-eared my copies of Kingkiller to hell and back, so I have a pen mark on the page in Wise Man's Fear for The Line. Y'know, the "all these men trying to sweep me off my feet" line. That shit kills me painfully every time I read it.
She's one of my top 10 characters of all time. I think she might be tied for first with Kvothe.
