also now that I’ve finished threads i gotta say this was not her best work
THIS IS... THE MIGHTY NEIN (plus Essek)

when there’s only one person in all four worlds like you, but he’s a boomer and he hates you 🤨
wow, i really stayed up to 3 am to finish this bc the idea would NOT leave me alone
then ofc i had to go overboard and do another version with their best quotes at/about/to each other bc i’m so normal about kellholland
(below version has extensive quotes from the books so slight spoiler warning but not really)!
it is very important to accept the very very future cannon event that is Kell and Lila having a child right after tftop and it’s a boy and his name is Barron Maresh
I wish ve schwab delved more into the mental healths of the characters post acol or how everything affected their mental health and ability to heal. Especially Rhy.
Like in terms of mental health impact I think Rhy had it by far the worst. Alucard technically lost the most loved ones, but this isn’t the worst that happened to him. Lila and Kell lost people important to them, but so did everyone else.
Not only did Rhy lose his parents (fyi he’s the only character with a healthy relationship to his parents), but he was unable to do anything much to contribute to Osarons defeat because he had no powers despite being the fucking king. He was forced into the role of King during a time he wasn’t ready and everyone expected him to just save the world. It’s already known he feels inferior and useless, but can you imagine how he feels knowing that everyone had to save him again and that if he were stronger both his parents would’ve lived? can you imagine how guilty he feels knowing his parents died because he wasn’t strong enough? knowing his brother almost died and he couldn’t do anything to help, but a grey London girl could? like he probably has so much self hatred it’s crazy. And to top it all off he was dealing with mixed feelings regarding Alucard, having to watch everyone leave him to do something productive when all he could do was sit on his ass and wait for help, and having the insane responsibility all of a sudden for an entire country all at the ripe age of 20. I wouldn’t be surprised if he were borderline suicidal, tbh.
