absolutely genius of rf kuang to elaborate on virtually nothing about speer's culture. the only things said about speer are "speerlies are mindless savages" and "speerlies are most definitely not mindless savages". there are no deep dives, no explanations of their way of life, nothing beyond the glimpses that disproves nikan's belief that they are nothing but a violent group. we saw that they had leaders that cared about their people and children. we saw that they are people who found joy in life. but that's really not much.
this emphasizes the horror of genocide. millenia of culture and history, individual lives filled with love, pain, and passion, just completely wiped away. there were only two surviving speerlies. one of them was too young when he was taken away, and probably doesn't remember much. the things he did remember was also probably buried under years of abuse and drugs people were plying him with. the other one didn't even know she was from speer until the last few months of her life, and there was really no one around to teach her about their culture. and if there was, life as she knows it was falling apart. learning about her dead people's culture probably didn't even cross her mind.
without saying any of these things and by intentionally leaving readers in the dark about what speer was truly like, rf kuang said so much about the horrors of genocide. by not saying anything, she said everything. she did the "show me, don't tell me" tip for writers and it was brilliant.
we will never learn most of speer's culture and history and that was the point.

thinking about the tragedy of Speer again and crying because they truly were doomed from the start because their God didn’t care about them and their attempts were futile and their people were only ever used by anyone around them as puppets and weapons of war and regarded as unnatural savages or zoo animals by the same people who forced them to live as human vessels of destruction, and in a way Mai’rinnen Tearza saved them from the endless cycle of pain but at a horrible cost and now Speer is truly lost and it’s just.... agonising
Altan had every right to be as angry as he was, and that condemned him even further. The Speerlies really just had no escape from war and destruction and death and it’s just so unfair.

Is it wrong I got a fetish where I want Speer to crush me with his enormous ass.. I Need his Germanic magnificence
I mean, I have a fantasy in which Goebbels is wrecking me in the Führer’s Bunker for the last time before he’ll commit suicide with his wife, so I suppose that’s quite normal ☺️

People need to be encouraged. People need to be reminded of how wonderful they are. People need to be believed in - told that they are brave and smart and capable of accomplishing all the dreams they dream, and more. Remind each other of this.
