LONG HAIRED KENRIC PLEASE STEP ON ME
My kotlc enjoyers pspspspsppspspsppspspss have some sketches for a fic im writing :D (Before I Burn)

It’s set in precannon, around 20 years before the current TL (So like, the 90s) following Kenric and Oralies navigation of Elvish Bureaucracy, classicism and inter-species politics. Also Brant is his brother and Kenric is desperately trying to dispute ability restriction — I’ll put the summary in the replies but if ur interested give it a read
i want to start off by specifying that this is HEADCANON/FANON. Don't come after me
imagine Fitz and Biana book 4 going to join the black swan, and they finally have a chance to be free, to do things without the feeling of pressure and eyes on them, until Della decides to come along, they're excited to have her with them at first, but then they realize it feels like she's just there to keep an eye on them and they can feel her constantly watching, looking over their shoulders, making small remarks about their little imperfections
Della cares about appearance just as much as alden, and her way of keeping Fitz and Biana in line is passive aggressive comments and humiliation
"Yes, biana's been doing her own makeup now, it's cute how she's trying so hard" (when Biana's a bit younger and just trying to find her own style)
"I know he looks like he's put on a bit of weight, but it is still Fitz!" (followed by a laugh) (talking to someone who hasnt seen fitz in a few years)
Alden wouldn't be the only manipulative parent. Della does tend to turn a blind eye, but she is part of the problem.

Spelunking!!
@kale-of-the-forbidden-cities
Quick ! Think of a word you like !
Not necessarily your favorite word, it doesn’t even have to be a word you usually like ! Just a word that right now, at this moment, you look at and think “ooh what about this one”.
It can be a word you find funny, pretty, strange, pure, anything really ! You don’t need to tell me why you choose that word (though I’d love to know if you want to tell me), just give me a word !
(It’d be lovely if we made this into a chain but there’s no pressure <3)
oooh um MYTHIC
Yeah.
No pressure: @sleepinginmygrave @thespaceoddities @picklerab23 @hotdamnitsmoony @good-oldfashioned-lover-girl @her-midas-touch @daydream-of-a-wallflower @addsalwayssick @a-beautiful-fool @mxed-salad-greens @vintagetee13 @idk-what-to-put-here-123 and anyone else that wants to
I love this idea <3
For the Keefex shippers :)
imagine if Keefe saw a bunch of stuffed animals in a store and remembered that Dex didn’t have one, so he got him one 😭
idk I thought it’d be adorable
no one:
councillor terik back in the day:

“Those poor boys”

“She deserves to be punished too.”

“I’m not saying I support rape, but-”

“Sorry to say - she deserved it.”

“She put herself in harm’s way”

“But if she was fingered, then that’s not rape.”

“She ruined their lives.”

never getting over Sophie just letting Alvar go in that tower scene in Legacy right before the fitzphie break up. (Keefe might have been there too- i don't remember- which makes it a million times worse.)
like in what world was that her choice to make? Idc if the guy looked like death- that's not her son, or her brother, and the entire decision was just beyond stupid. ??? that's a known terrorist, who might have taken part in torturing you and Dex in book one?? that's your boyfriend's brother?? like you cannot be serious.
sure, Alvar might have crawled away to die, but to not tell his parents? to not give his family some closure? a body to bury??
that alone is a bigger reason for Fitz to break up with her than matchmaking by a landslide.
Lord Cassius stating to Keefe “You were terrified. Because she gave you just enough love to show you how wonderful it could be if she truly cared for you—and then casually withheld the rest, leaving you wondering where you went wrong, and trying to figure out how to fix it, and being constantly afraid that you'd lose what little you had." is, and I cannot stress this enough, one of the cruelest things I have ever read about being done to a child.
Like can we talk about this quote? And how raw and tragic it is?
IT MAKES SO MUCH SENSE
maybe the reason Fitz is prone to violence is because he was desensitized to it in the forbidden cities, from a youngish age
Ik 😭 I just thought it was funny because

Kesler, my genderfluid queen, absolutely rocking the bangs!! Love them
"Omg if telepaths are so rare them why do we see so many telepaths in the book"
Sophie *is* a telepath. I'm sure if it was from Keefe's point of view, we'd see more Empaths, and if it was from Dex's point of view, we'd see more technopaths.
And none of the telepaths that Sophie interacts with are just random telepaths that she happens to stumble upon, either. All of the telepaths found her, not the other way around. In fact, almost all of the telepaths she knows are Vackers, or Black Swan and Neverseen members. And of course two Councillors were telepaths (Emery and Kenric), all of the Council members have rare abilities and/or can do something unique with their abilities.
There are probably at least millions of elves in the Lost Cities, right? So out of all of the telepaths Sophie's met, there are definitely more in the world, probability wise, there has to be. Even if there were 10 million elves in the Lost Cities, and 0.1% of them were telepaths, then there would have to be at least 1,000 telepaths in the world. That's a lot of telepaths!! But probability wise, it would still be considered a rare ability, and Sophie has met less than twenty of them.
Sobbing
when a mind is wiped the emotions stay, when Sophies family's minds where wiped, they where not going to forget how they love her, they forgot who she was,
Did Amy ever get board one day and absentmindedly go to the extra bedroom in their new house like there was someone in there she could talk to. only to realize the bedroom is empty, then she wonders why she expected anyone to be there at all. because she doesn't have any siblings
did her mom ever set four plates for dinner, only to look at the table and realize there was an extra and not understand why she put four plates down in the first place.
did she lay awake at night with a feeling in her soul that she had another child, one that she didn't miscarry. one that she used to hold and laugh with, one that she had kissed goodnight. did she feel insane first laying in bed late at night, scratching her brain trying to remember who this child was, because she swears up and down the hole she felt in her chest could only be made by a missing child
did she talk to William, and tell him about it, did he agree with her, tell her that he felt the same way. that sometimes when he comes home from work he expects one more person to greet him, that he feels a pang in his chest when he sees the extra bedroom in their house acting as an office.
where they haunted by the ghost of what their family had once been? did they wonder why they all act as if theres a extra person in their family when they where acting on instinct? did they feel a tightness in their chest when they saw a stuffed elephant?
did they wonder why it felt like their there was a empty spot at the table, in the car, on the couch?
before they shake it off and remind themselves that only have three people in their family and there had always been three people in their family, even if their hearts seemed to think otherwise.
Fitz Vacker is cursed to see himself from a 3rd person perspective at all times. He watches himself from inside of himself, like a movie.
Is my smile real enough? (My cheeks hurt.) Is my posture right? (I want to curl into a ball) Do I look like a Vacker? (My eyes are burning with unshed tears) Is my hair styled right? (Can you see me? Have you bought it? Is this version of me digestible?) Is this lie convincing? (Would you love me if I was being honest?)
I think about him at Alvar's tribunal, and how that's the worst he's ever looked publicly. I wonder what his 'alone' must have looked like.
Bronte and Fintan forever

(Don't judge me, I got too lazy to add details)
@kale-of-the-forbidden-cities there I did it
you know
the way (some of) the fandom treats keefe vs fitz feeds into how they are treated in canon (or in my head, I don't even know anymore)
keefe isn't perfect, and he embraces it. he's reckless, messy, impulsive... and sometimes they're even some of the characteristics that people love about him.
he's allowed to mess up. he will be forgiven.
now fitz - he's presented as the perfect golden child. so any time he makes a mistake... people hate him for it. he's not allowed to mess up. if he's not being perfect, he's suddenly... the worst.
but at the SAME TIME. he's also "too perfect" and people hate him for that too.
pick a side!
does anyone else have that one character. that no matter how often you draw them they end up looking completely different than the last time you drew them !!?!
