i fucking love that nott’s idea of being a wingwoman is to suggest that jester and fjord should move a dead body together
every main character in merlin is bi except for morgana who’s a lesbian thanks for coming to my ted talk
having older kvothe spend fuck-knows how many pages hyping up the great love of his life was less annoying when i thought it was going to be the clever streetwise moneylender who didn’t give a single shit about his sense of self-importance but of course it ain’t and of course it’s actually the kingkiller flavor of a manic pixie dream girl and so now i’m just disappointed and still annoyed
Denna is amazing!!! Kvothe’s perception of her makes her seem like a manic pixie dream girl but of you look past his unreliable narrator-tendacies, you soon realize that she is a well developed character. She actually has the largest part after Kvothe. Promise!!!
i’m not saying i dislike denna, but like. it is precisely kvothe’s perception of her that turns her into a manic pixie dream girl
like for the classic example, summer from 500 days of summer is just a girl who’s maybe a little quirky but is ultimately just Doing Her Own Thing until some guy shows up and decides that because she likes belle and sebastian and reads dorian gray then that means she’s going to revolutionize his life and thus she Becomes a manic pixie dream girl because he idolizes her without really seeing her as a person
i’m not saying i dislike denna, or that she’s not a well-developed character, but kvothe pulls this exact same bullshit with her (idolizing her without really seeing her) – for example, it isn’t until his conversation with deoch that he realizes denna’s constant male attention isn’t just her being flirty for the fun of it, but instead is her primary source of survival and a dangerous way to live, and that still doesn’t stop him from feeling pissy over it (or like, when he describes her to wil and sim as a ‘force of nature’ and calls her ‘cruel’ bc she comes and goes and leaves all these dudes in her wake when, once again, these are just steps she’s taking to survive like she’s not some unfathomable goddess she just wants to Live In Peace)
anyway i was more excited at the prospect of his romance being with devi (although you’re right she is way too old for him) specifically because of how he didn’t gild the lily with her and she put him on his guard immediately and she’s practical and clever and grounded in a way that kvothe isn’t and all of those aspects seemed a better romantic complement to his character
having older kvothe spend fuck-knows how many pages hyping up the great love of his life was less annoying when i thought it was going to be the clever streetwise moneylender who didn’t give a single shit about his sense of self-importance but of course it ain’t and of course it’s actually the kingkiller flavor of a manic pixie dream girl and so now i’m just disappointed and still annoyed
i know jerky is just like. a stick o meat But a) it tastes good and b) eating it makes me feel like a weary traveler in a well-worn cloak with an eyebrow scar who’s resting for the night next to a low-burning campfire while i clean the blood from my longsword so

And just like that, GOP discovers $5.7 billion for a wall. $5.7 billion.What if we instead added $5.7B in teacher pay?
Or replacing water pipes?
Or college tuition/prescription refill subsidies?
Or green jobs?But notice how no one’s asking the GOP how they’re paying for it.
