favorite trope!!! let’s go!!! ✊😌

I am genuinely really enjoying this on its own but unfortunately every time a book features a snarky butch (especially a snarky butch knight) I just miss my blorbo/wife about it (gideon my beloved)

the early modernist in me is geeking about the visards and the clearly elizabethan imagery used for the queen … the use of elizabeth’s brand of whiteness as a status symbol… the use of darkness to signify silence and intimidation… i’m bouncing off the walls
