After hours of waiting, the Great Avar had arrived. Finally. Nemera concealed any sense of distaste from his face, as he knew how vital it was for the Great Avar to be an ally. Pencharn had finally got fed up with the elves and goblins (it couldn't be Nemera's fault, he had only had three diplomatic meetings with them) and they had declared war.
The Great Avar descended the steps of his carriage. Nemera was once again struck with astonishment at the man's balance, as all the elves he knew were constantly tripping over their feet. The footman opened the door, and after Ambassador Gormened made a quick exchange with the Great Avar, the ambassador said loudly in Ethuverazhin, "The Great Avar of Barizhan greets the Emperor of the Ethuveraz and thanks him for his hospitality in this stressful time."
Nemera responded with a short speech in which he thanked them and told them of his hope for a successful alliance. He then turned around and led the way inside, to the Great Avar's quarters, feeling only a tinge of irritation that there would be goblins in his court, and there as honoured guests.
Tge au where maia's grandfather makes maia his heir and then one year they make a diplomatic visit to the ethuveraz
No one recognizes maia at first, with his barizheise clothes and his barizheise braids and his barizheise mannerisms.
Then they announce maia as the great avar's only grandson and heir
No one reacts at first, all of them wondering since when had the great avar had a grandson
Then, it clicks in Varenechibel's head, and he turns to stare at maia with unbridled fury
Maia looks back at him, head held high and proud, knowing that as his grandfather's heir, his father can't do anything to him unless he wants a war with Barizhan
These are all options but there is so much CHOICE
"What is pornography doing in a fucking boarding school?"
"Our concern? Our concern will not interest you, Serenity. But this fucking will."
The good ol' "We would have fucking gutted him, if he weren't already dead."
Idra stepped jerkily back, like a cat discovering it had put its paw in something sticky. "Mother," he said softly, "that is a terrible fucking lie."
"Beshelar, you most incomparable fucking idiot-"
If you could add one (1) F bomb to the entire Chronicles of Osreth, where would it be?
I'll start with the obvious: "We regret extremely that we cannot challenge her to a duel & prove her worthlessness upon her carcase, but we are told that dueling is barbaric & unbefitting a lady & in any event Sheveän would not fucking know how."
I still haven't gotten around to reading the Goblin Emperor but I'm obsessed with how fans talk about it on here they're like NOTHING happens but POLITICS for FOUR HUNDRED PAGES the protagonist is TRAPPED in MACHINES OF POWER and can do NOTHING TO ESCAPE he has NO FREE WILL he also has SOCIAL ANXIETY this is the BEST BOOK I'VE EVER READ
He said lamely, "She is very beautiful." "And she has the sense not to frighten you," Dach'osmin Ceredin said, and Maia took a step back, wanting to protest her deduction, but unable to deny its truth. "We should take lessons from her, we see."
The Goblin Emperor by Katherine Addison is one of my favorite books of all time, and within it, one of my favorite scenes is Maia and Csethiro's first real interaction at Nurevis' party! so i drew it. their slow romance is so delicious.
I like to imagine that after they marry, Csethiro realizes hey I Like this guy and so she starts ribbing him about it because she's an absolute jock. meanwhile, maia who has never been shown kindness is like Oh No What Have I Done, She Hates Me. Csethiro picks up on it immediately, sits him down and apologizes and explains, and then adjusts the level of teasing and tweaks it to be more validating and wholesome. he gets comfortable and starts to tease her back. one day he lands the most savage burn on her and at first it so completely catches her by surprise that he's afraid he went too far, but then she loses all Ladylike Composure, all her years of training go out the window and she guffaws for like five minutes straight. to the point he's actually kind of embarassed about it. years later she never lets him live it down
The Goblin Emperor will teach you how to speak Elvish without you even realizing it because it so gradually introduces words, so halfway through the book you'll be saying shit like "I can't believe the Ethuverazhid Zhas's dachenmaza nohecharis has to commit revethvoran :/" with a straight face

drew this at the end of last year and still like it a lot

All you need for me to become obsessed with a guy is have the main character describe him as "the most ill and tired man I had ever seen"
You know how submission in BDSM is often a power fantasy for people who don't feel like they can accept the love/desire of others unless its quite literally forced upon them? That's what The Goblin Emperor is for people who feel awkward celebrating their own birthday. The Goblin Emperor is my power fantasy. All of the Elflands force Maia to enjoy his birthday celebration because etiquette does not permit the emperor to skip his own birthday. And by god do I wish that were me.
I read The Goblin Emperor last week and it lives in my head rent free now I guess
Csevet is a morning person. Maia… is not
