People in this fandom will really look at The Fool, Patience, Lacey, Carson, Sedric, Hest, Davvie, Lecter, Kennit, Ash/Spark, and yes, even Fitz himself, and still have the gall to call it queer bait.

These characters are explicitly queer, their actions impact the narrative, they are well written, and their identities are treated with respect. That is the best possible queer representation you could ask for in any story.

I've seen people on tumblr basing the likelihood of if they read this series on whether or not it's "actually gay" and I'm here to tell you that it is. There are queer characters. There are queer protagonists. And no matter what you see people in the fandom say, Robin Hobb wrote some amazing queer representation in a genre that rarely sees it at all.

EDIT: and I think it's pertinent to note that, no, characters who are questioning or struggling with their feelings about sexuality instead of knowing 100% does not make something queer bait or "less gay"

TLDR;

Queer bait = disrespectful marketing ploy that exploits queer audiences

Queer bait ≠ "my two favorite characters never have sex"

#Fitzchivalry ''i wondered if I lied so that I need not be ashamed of myself'' farseer thank you everyone #quite frankly the disrespect to Robin Hobb in this fandom is in EXTREMELY poor taste #the interview from 2008 before half the series was written where she explains why Fitz would not suddenly be head over heels for a person h #perceives as a man because all of his life he has only had heterosexual experiences apparently means that no queer characters exist #whatsoever in the whole series and Robin Hobb is an irredeemable backwards old lady who can't get with the times. right.#Fitzchivalry ''what were we? Beloved'' farseer #this is actually not supposed to be a debate over whether Fitz is canonically queer or not. he is. ope.#also...I do read Kennit as queer. just cause he is traumatized and his queerness comes out in predatory ways doesn't mean he's not queer.#that's called writing a compelling villain baybee #Hest!?!? thank you Robin Hobb for the evil gays god bless <3 #modern reader: the author didn't describe these characters dicks touching in detail therefore she is homophobic #rote #realm of the elderlings #fitzchivalry farseer #the fool #I really had to get this out of my system guys. thanks <3 #as if Robin Hobb didn't give us the FOOL. nonbinary/gender fluid character OF ALL TIME.

"You thought I was bringing you flowers?"

Just about a post where @jewishdainix once pointed out a possible parallel between Fitz feeling offended that the Fool would dare think he'd be bringing him flowers during The Quarrel vs. when Fitz decorates his funeral Pyre after the Pale Woman…………..not that it actually mentions Fitz using flowers for the pyre but the thought still made me go insane and I had 2 draw it teehee

#rote #realm of the elderlings #the Fool #fitzchivalry farseer #robin hobb #:v #btw I completely gave up trying to get an accurate skin/hair tone for the fool in favor of ummmm color palette <3 #also this rly made me realize how much better I am at traditionally painting stuff than digital.......girl I am out of my DEPTH #to say the least. on a computer that is.#at the risk of sounding vain I am very proud of how this came out and think it ended up looking 1000000 times better than anything I could #digitally

"I realized I was leaning heavily on the Fool. I lifted my head to look at him. 'Did we win?' he asked me. His smile was lopsided in his swollen face. 'The fight isn't over until you win,' I said. Burrich's words. Spoken to me so long ago. I touched my leg. Warm and wet. I was hungry and thirsty and so tired. But I had them both beside me. Alive. Still bleeding, and my ears ringing. But alive."
