Fitzloved - Tumblr Posts
trying to make progress on my Realm of the Quarantine Finale write-up so I'm rereading my Fool's Errand notes while I wait in the car to pick my niece up and like. whoops I'm accidentally gonna give myself a fucking aneurysm.
I can taste the mental illness <3

-Fool's Fate, Robin Hobb
He slept, curled like a kitten, his brow nearly touching mine, on the other end of his pallet. His breathing was deep and even, and one long hand was palm up on the blankets between us, as if in offering, or beseeching something of me. Sleepily I reached over and set my hand in his. He did not seem to wake. Strangely, I felt at peace.
I’m obsessed with the idea of one of my tragic protagonists having a dramatic, gay, devistatingly camp revenge tour, crying and routhlessly cutting down the people who hurt the ones they loved. I want it set to I Can Do It With A Broken Heart. I want slowmo explosions and blood spatters etc.
Yes, Fitz did just find Fool lifeless on the floor of a dungeon. Yes I want to see The Catalyst light up the Servants’ asses. Give me Tarantino levels of blood set to poppy depressive anthems by Taylor Swift as Fitz unleashes the true assasin for the first time in decades.
Bonus points if it cuts to Paragon in a silent and calm harbor dancing along to the music nobody else can hear.
Finished rote last night. First of all, fuck that. Second of all, what are the preferred fandom fix it fics? Personally I’m fine with everything until the parasites.
I’m open to happy family Fitzloved. I’m open to Bee stays with Nettle and Fitzloved disappear. I’m open to them settling anywhere. Building a cottage by Verity’s dragon and taking trips to the areas around the mountain kingdom and learning about Fitz’s bio mom and visiting Bee and Spark and Per and Ketricken for holidays? Ideal. Bingtown? Cool. Show me Fitzloved double dating with Althea and Brashan. Kelsingra? Even better. I want Beloved to befriend Alise as Beloved and not Amber while Leftrin and Fitz get drunk and talk about Tarman (now a dragon) and Nighteyes. I wanna see the Liveship Dragons and how different they are from the traditionally hatched ones. CARSON AND SEDRIC HELPING FITZ WITH HIS COMP HET BULLSHIT while Motley is just vibing with Heeby and calling Fitz stupid.
Help me. Anything but worms and everything being left unsaid.
Hi, me again, still collecting all the fandom notes and reading my welcome brochures and learning my way around. But are there good rote podcasts? Like ones that use a queer lense? I’m all for just general analysis and character and plot deep dives, but I need to know that the people I’m committing so much time to listening to are not in the “Fitz is straight” camp. Cus I’m terrified of getting into a pod and then having to adandon it cus some dude somewhere explains away the incredibly glaring subtext so he can identify with a “manly protagonist.” Like I need it to be explicitly acknowledged that this series explores gender and sexuality and sexual politics intentionally. I need whoever I’m subscribing to to agree thay the wit is an obvious metaphor for queerness. Like right out of the gate. Cus if not idk the point of even getting into discussions of later books.
The Meeting on the Turret Stairs feat. Fitzloved, as suggested by @thenightisland
rote crew i’m curious
*EDIT: whoops my bad it should have been rainwild chronicles not dragon keepers (you can tell which one is my least favourite lmao)
realm of the elderlings' fitzchivalry farseer & the fool: dreams
funniest character dynamic in the world to me is when you have one guy knows hes gay but doesnt realise hes in love with his best friend and another guy who knows hes in love with his best friend but does not know hes gay
this scene is everything to me. i like to show it to people when i'm trying to prove that robin hobb writes the gayest things imaginable while simultaneously refusing to acknowledge her character is gay
