Baru threatening to fuck this man’s secret daughter in a woman-respecting way is so funny. She’s like, I’m going to find your daughter, you old creep. And I’m going to treat her to dinner. We’ll eat blackberries. I’ll flirt with her and show her my boat. And then we’ll see where things go from there.

@ other Masquerade/Baru Cormorant fans — I vaguely remember Seth Dickinson writing somewhere that each title of the Masquerade books is a question, as in "Is Baru Cormorant a monster?" "Is Baru Cormorant a tyrant?" Does anyone else know what I'm talking about and where I can find that?

Reading the Masquerade series (Traitor Baru Cormorant, &c.) gave me brain bugs and I needed to draw everyone so bad!!
This is by no means a full cast, but it’s a start. Top down and left to right, Baru, Ulyu Xe, Iraji, and Aminata (heart eyes). Disclaimer: I saw someone else on Tumblr who I can’t find now, who drew Baru with this same mug and I knew I had to do it too.
I’ve drawn a Svir, which I will post at some point even though my headcanon for him has changed since then, and I still reALLY wanna draw Xate Yawa (👀)

Damn, how many unique causes of brain damage can one girl get? Baru Cormorant has to have set some kind of record.

“Baru raised her hand to smash the wineglass. Checked herself, checked even her trembling, and stood there in absurd pantomime, too firmly in control of her anger to move, too deeply angry for anything but stillness.”

Farrier selecting girls to be his protégées is because he has daughter issues, but the reason he’s getting lesbians every time is…
On purpose: His second priority is always to disprove eugenics by conditioning gay people into fearing homosexuality. Plus, it gives him an angle of manipulation. His gaydar is THAT good that he knows which six-year-olds are going to be homos. Characterization result: He’s even more sinister.
Pure coincidence: These girls are just gay because some women are gay. It’s statistically improbable that all his protégées are lesbians, but not impossible. Characterization result: He’s a new type of guy who hates four leaf clovers but keeps picking them every time.
Reverse baby-Bechdel effect: These girls stand out from their peers for some reason he can’t explain and he keeps assuming they’re different because they’re smarter. He wants to teach the smart ones, but it turns out they’re just lesbians. Characterization result: He’s stepping onto a rake and getting smacked in the face over and over.

Iscend, a hot, naked girl swimming in a jungle river: doomed femme fatales play into and reward a reader’s misogyny. I know this because I am a sexy female spy conditioned from birth to serve the empire. Sex is used to control us, and in the case of the femme fatale it is used as a punishment
Baru cormorant: wow it’s just like managing different currencies in one economy!!! 🤑
