wtfhuhbuhwhaaaa?  
Actually managed to have half a discussion with mum re. my plans for the year - i.e. my actual career plans, i.e. WRITING - and trying to get short stories out there and a novel assembled.

Now she is all, well, get cracking. Just after telling me to take weeks off to let my hands recover.

Color me really. fucking. confused. |D;

[EDIT] Also, calling all Hobb readers. I have done a terrible thing to my seme-sama. How did you make peace with the ending of the Tawny Man? I ask this even though I know [info]alleyne and I regularly scream FUCKING SKILL PILLAR at each other in despair. All I can say is, somewhere in the back of my head there is a relatively happy culturally-confused threesome. Because that is how they do it in... that tiny little land to the south whose name I can never remember. Ummmm. Thingie. >_>

The ending is not to be made peace with! The ending is to be ignored and forgotten and replaced! The ending makes me angry!

Yes, but, you can't just deny its existence. You have to come to terms with it and then write something that is better, and not dissatisfying like an interrupted handjob.

Sad to say, I WOULD HAVE BEEN MORE SATISFIED WITH AN INTERRUPTED HANDJOB. Only not really. Fitz and Fool are emotionally more than sexually close.

ALTHOUGH YOU ARE STILL MISSING THE BIT ABOUT FITZ'S FACE BEING ON A LIVESHIP. JUST SAYING. FOOL IS EMBARRASSING AND ADORABLE.

No, I'm not missing that. I got a hold of the Liveship Traders. Adorable much!

Yes, but, you can't just deny its existence.
*stomp feet* Can so! I'm AU-ing it!

Only not really. Fitz and Fool are emotionally more than sexually close.
I agree with that, but denying that the Fool has sexual interest in Fitz is kind of last minute. I mean, what then was the whole thing with the Pale Lady about? And "[T]hat too is a thing that we both have known for years. A thig that never needed speaking, those words that I now must carry with me for the rest of my life." If the Fool did not have a physical desire for Fitz, then why did it matter that Fitz would say that he didn't either?

oh thank god <3

oh god, that whole thing. Fitz is his own cockblock. *shakes him until his stupid falls out* WHEN EVEN YOUR WOLF THINKS YOU'RE BASICALLY MARRIED TO THE OTHER DUDE, FITZCHIVALRY...

I'm not saying Fool didn't, just that... well, if he could love Fitz, he was prepared to go without the sex part. It was more than that.

I would have bubbled away in Bubbles of Ultimate Joy if they'd spent the rest of their lives together in platonic bliss, as long as they were together.

I have spent the last four days squealing like a girl over this book. No, the ending will not give you rage. It's a melodrama. That means it ends prettily.
