Costis didn’t believe for a moment there had ever been a real Klimun, or a real Gerosthenes. He looked at Phresine for some understanding of the king’s distress, but Phresine was looking into space and seemed unaware of the king’s unhappiness.
“So,” she said, “Gerosthenes hit Klimun over the head with the amphora.”
“Ha,” the king snorted in relief. Phresine affected not to notice this any more than his earlier distress. She continued.

Post it note art during a meeting that should have been an email. Gerosthenes, I have a few people I’ll need you to hit over a head with an amphora when they open their mouths, please and thank you.
Queen’s Thief Appreciation, Day 3: The King of Attolia – books/characters as things my friends and I have said
This book… just has to be my favorite one. The way Eugenides is revealed again and again draws me back to it again and again. Plus Costis, poor Costis <3
queen’s thief appreciation week(s) - day nine: quote swap

[ID one: a photograph of a black hook prosthetic with gold details on a gold-orange brocade background. There is text at the top of the image reading “He begged, ‘Please, please,’ as if his heart were breaking.” There is text over the hook reading “His right hand disappeared under the blade.” There is text at the bottom reading “He made no sound.”]
[ID two: A dark blood red color.]
[ID three: A golden prosthetic hand resting on a wooden table. There is text at the top reading “He was a Lannister of Casterly Rock, Lord Commander of the Kingsguard; no sellsword would make him scream.” There is text on the hand reading “It came shivering down, almost too fast to see.” There is text at the bottom of the image reading “And Jaime screamed.”]
Queen’s Thief Appreciation, Day 1: The Thief – in my saga of QT books/characters as things my friends and I have said.
I wanted to participate in qtappreciationweek this year, but didn’t have the time to create any serious, meaningful pieces that would properly honor and embody my all-encompassing love for these books, so I’ve come up with the happy medium of… memery.
I’ve come to the conclusion that my silly contribution to this fun celebration isn’t totally out of place, because it does encapsulate one of the reasons I was first drawn into the series: the humor. My gods, the humor. From the moment Gen splayed his body by the side of the road, content to endure his new life as a landmark, I was enraptured. I adore Gen’s unbridled, raw snark in The Thief.
