Hi Tumblr! It’s been [redacted] years that I haven’t posted something, which is rather silly actually. Fixing that.
Anyway, here’s Harrowhark Nonagesimus from The Locked Tomb series! :) Enjoy!

Now your hope and compassion is gone
You’ve sold out your dream to the world
Stay dead, stay dead, stay dead
You’re dead and out of this world

A thing I really, really love about The Roots of Chaos series is how Shannon just completely refuses to incorporate internalized homophobia into it, even though, logically, it would make perfect sense to do so.
Shannon made a world dependent on bloodlines, but instead of making heterosexuality a norm, she gracefully avoided it. In any instance when she introduces an LGBT character, she provides a simple, yet very effective explanation as to why this doesn't propose a problem to their heritage at all.
Sabran marries and gets pregnant, but ultimately ends up with Ead and their relationship works out.
Wulfert's parents are two Lords that had children through former marriages, so they have a secured heir.
And probably the most interesting take is the Priory itself, especially with Tunuva and Esbar who are both in love with each other, but have decided to have children with men in order to serve their community. Their relationship is never hindered by their need to lay with a man. There is neither jealousy nor misunderstanding.
Shannon basically doesn't offer a single opening for the reader to question why homosexuality is so normalized in her world because, in the end, it doesn't really matter. LGBT characters are a crucial part of this story and Shannon eradicates any potential opportunity to undermine their existence.
It's refreshing. It's enjoyable. And, most of all, it's satisfying.

me consuming any media in which the character is at odds with the world around them: believe it or not this is a queer allegory

Now tell me, princess, are you strolling through your sacred grove?
And is the moon still shining? You're the only thing I'm thinking of
The sword you gave me, it was heavy, I just had to lay it down
It's funny how defenseless I can feel here when there's nobody around
(2023 version of this)

Me: You could be a little meaner to me…
My partner: wait so let me get this straight: you have a praise kink and a degradation kink? You’re a fucking horny paradox!
