what’s it like third wheeling in your own relationship?

ya know fintan and his lil band of arson climate change fighters is exactly how i think the far right views normal climate change activists

the council: wow ok i think we can finally manage sophie’s abilities

sophie: *starts teleporting*

the council: what the fuck

give me any kotlc character and i’ll give you my complete and honest thoughts about them :)

i feel like fintan’s mentality in life is “tf you gonna do, arrest me?” and then they actually did and he didn’t know what to do for a whole two books because he was so stunned which is why he only broke out in everblaze

okay look so hear me out. if the elven world is similar to the human world and has a near equal ratio of men to women, then I think it would be the smartest move for the members of the Collective (specifically thinking Blur and Wraith but everyone works) to all be genderless/androgynous in their disguises and use they/them pronouns (or others). Us knowing their genders via their pronouns (I know pronouns don’t equate gender but in the story they do. not my choice there) immediately eliminates half the elven population from the running for who they could be. If they have a rarer ability, like Tiergan, people knowing their gender is significant! Really narrows it down!

For Juline, looking for any froster vs looking specifically for a female froster? it’s not the most telling information, but it’s still pertinent and drastically affects who people are suspicious of in ways that aren’t favorable to her.

but if they appear not specifically gendered (ahem, invisible or a literal blur of colors) and elves can mimic and alter their voice to change pitch, then they should be able to disguise, hide, or be intentionally misleading with all possible gender markers, nearly doubling the number of people they could be and making it harder for everyone to determine who you are

that is all, thank you for your time this pride month

Oh I made a post about this sometime- you’re right, they/them would definitely help with this whole anonymity thing they have going on. And we know the Lost Cities have a gender neutral pronoun or they/them equivalent thanks to Nightfall. The only real explanation I can think of for why Shannon gendered the blob of colors is our good pal cisnormativity.

sometimes I’m like yea I like kotlc a normal amount and then my textbook will offhandedly mention gelato and suddenly I’ve read the next paragraph and processed none of it because I’m thinking about the melon gelato Sophie and Fitz bought everyone in Neverseen for that one singular scene where the person was like “well since you at least spoke to me in my own language” before they discovered the fire and then I post about it on tumblr.com and I gotta acknowledge okay maybe this isn’t a normal amount

Someone liked this post and then liked the post with the context for it a few minutes later and I have to wonder what their reaction was as they read this without context.
