The way that poverty has affected Gregor is omnipresent. He knows how to care for people and how to make food because his parents can't afford a sitter. He goes to the underland and suddenly he's among royalty and wealth. He remarks how when it's not about to go to war the underland is actually a nice escape from his life. When they're all forced to eat raw fish he notes how he's never been able to have sushi before.

I love how it's not something that just gets solved. Even when Vikus gives them cash in the clock it doesn't *last*. His mom says, "We're going to pay all the bills, and then we're going to have Christmas!". That's so *real*. Like, the series is fantasy but Gregor is still *forced* to live in the real world.

There's also this whole parallel between Ares and Gregor. Both of them were just nobodies having to live on the margins of society until someone wealthy finds a use for you. For Gregor it's Luxa, for Ares it was Henry.

Okay, so this isn't the most well put together or thought out of my rants but... Aughghfhg. The book with the giant sexy rat and the spider that makes you slippers is so god damn *real*.

If I had a nickel for every time I had a ship between a very sweet guy with some kind of public service job and a blatantly obvious crush and an unfathomably magical woman who is cursed in a way that makes it functionally impossible to be with the man she loves, I would have two nickels. Which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice

The scene in Curse of the Warmbloods where Gregor grooms Lapblood is truly one of the most powerful moments of the series.

I feel like it's the moment Gregor truly internalizes the humanity of rats. Before this point, he's been able to accept and even appreciate Ripred and Twitchtip. But it isn't until he recognizes the mirror image of his grief in Lapblood that the barrier is truly broken and he realizes there is no fundamental difference between humans and rats.

Lapblood is on this gruelling journey for a cure that may be ultimately futile. She and hers have been starving for months, she knows some of her children are dead already, that the others are dying, she just watched her mate die violently in front of her eyes. She can't go on. She is exhausted, grief stricken, surrounded by people who revile her just for being a rat. The only other rat left in the party berates her with some kind of twisted 'tough love,' unable to show any compassion, saying in the process that he only wants her there because she's useful in a fight.

Then Gregor, a human, the enemy, the Warrior who is prophecied to defeat the rats, steps in and shows her sympathy, shows her hope. Lays his hands on her not in violence but in healing. It isn't saving her life in a flashy show of heroism - it's different than when he tackles Henry away from killing Ripred in Overlander, different than when he jumps in after Twitchtip in the whirlpool in Prophecy of Bane. It's a calculated, gentle display of compassion. It's intimate. And very, very public, with every eye from all sides of the conflict silently observing.

And then, after all that, with every eye still on him, he brushes out his own hair with the very same tool he used to groom Lapblood, her fur mingling with his hair as if to say, 'This is not my enemy. This is my kin.'

Going insane about Grace’s “I think you’ve seen enough” at the end of code of claw. About Gregor going to the park and he and Lizzie not knowing how to act as kids play around them, because they have seen too much. About gregor running to the cloisters without thinking to ask his parents their permission to go, because he’s had to face death on his own without permission, so what could warrant needing permission anymore? What could compare? About him feeling the world has no place for him after all he’s done. About him not thinking of himself as a kid. Losing my mind about Gregor’s lost childhood.

It’s really interesting now that we know Kugrash’s origin — it’s now clear that Kugrash is once a human man who acts like what he THINKS a rat would be like. However his rats, whenever they’re summoned, actually speak with much more dignity. It’s fascinating!

Everyone is trying to do prophecy gymnastics to explain how Ares is actually the warrior. No one is talking about how the character named after the god of war is the war's final causality, that he never gets to see the peace, that him and Gregor only met because there was a war, that him letting Henry die and saving Gregor fulfilled the Prophecy of Gray... Thus implicitly starting the prophecy of Bane and the war that followed.

Ares isn't the warrior, he IS the war.

not to talk about the unsleeping city again but. sofia and dale's story. sofia who thought her husband left her for some girl only to be awakened to a magical new york and find out he was killed by that same girl (who was also an actual succubus). sofia who avenged dale's death but still couldn't cope with it until ricky gave up his questing blade so that dale could break out of heaven every 3 months and be with her for a little while. sofia who wanted nothing more than to bring dale back because they live in a magical world and if she can't do it now, then when- and dale who wanted nothing more than to be with sofia but didn't want to hold her life back. sofia who never gave up even if hope was all lost until she literally travelled into the stories about dale she wrote for her (angelic) baby and managed to fucking bring dale back to life against all odds. love is fucking real and it's two monks from staten island in a magical new york
