a thought: jiang cheng = caranthir with different brother problems
yesss I do agree especially in the context of which Feanorian is Jiang Cheng (clear and obvious answer) BUT I think there are some clear distinctions as well- I don't think Caranthir gets as attached as Jiang Cheng to people identified by Angry Parent as outsiders and interlopers, and I think Jiang Cheng would be initially way less into the oath, like he would hear the plan and immediately develop a stomach ache, but he'd go along with it and then the second one little brother got barbecued he'd instantly be resigned to murdering every single person in Beleriand to fulfill it.
#jiang cheng would semi-accidentally invent commerce I know it#but caranthir would not love wei wuxian like that he'd be even more of a yanli boy#probably! it's possible that he just didn't happen to click with the cousins available to him and he'd really have liked wei wuxian#also possible that jiang cheng would say something jiang cheng flavoured to angrod and angrod wouldn't take it well#like does caranthir simply lack for a wei wuxian is a valid question#but jiang cheng#loving where he's not supposed to is so key idk i think he'd be in the tank for at least one forbidden cousin regardless#chengqing enjoyers and caranthir/haleth enjoyers share the same excellent taste
now that I've also read The Orb of Cairado has anyone checked on Katherine Addison? I get why there are so many executions in the murder mystery series and it's not entirely out of place in the game of fairy thrones ft the power of friendship (which I love) but why. why does the indiana jonesy novella also feature lovers torn apart by murder and specifically gay lovers having an illicit affair marred by one of them committing murder and the other one getting him caught and essentially betraying him to his own death?
#there's this theme of ruining your life in pursuit of justice/failing to do that#which is fine. but it's getting very noticeable#and it's always so consuming.#oh i forgot about the gay people where one of them did a murder suicide on the other's behalf and then the other one was murdered anyway#i'm just like. what's up. how we doing#technically in the orb it's straight people being torn apart by murder and execution! one gay man chose to live happily until he died and#then leave an elaborate trail of breadcrumbs that might implicate his lover in murder#and they did. but he didn't know for sure what was going to come of that

i don't mean to be rude but i have absolutely no respect for Katherine Addison's attempts at avoiding a love triangle. why are we going with "oh yea this man is straight and has very deep friendships with other men he gets unusually intense about. but he doesn't fall in love with the women he's sleeping and they know not to expect that from him. no word on whether he forms deep and intense friendships with them also but it kind of sounds like no." it would have been so easy to simply do anything else and not imply this perfectly nice character is deeply weird about women.
are we suggesting that you simply don't form intense and loving friendships with your fuck buddies who happen to all be women.

#ugh. ugh! tomb of dragons is not doing it for me more generally but the romance...#i cannot stress how easy it would have been to not address it#or do one sided feelings#or have the character in question be straight and prone to deep emotional bonds and that's fine#we didn't have to have the line about how everyone knows he doesn't fall in love

i have little to say about severance bcs i'm still processing from last night but i will say that i felt manipulated by that gwendolyn christie deployment and i loved every second of it. set up, pay off, nothing fancy just a competent set up that lets everyone bring their a game and enjoy a cute little goat named emile. also she killed it in that braid crown.
