We Passed A Sign In Boring That Said Their Sister City Is Dull, Scotland

This is Gilbert. He’s been around a while. Attributes his long life to many, many years of always getting what he wants

Musings from Anna Fusco

Thorin and Bilbo may be gayer in the movie than the book but Sam and Frodo are so much gayer in the book than the movie

Lucanis “It’s not enough.”

Rook “it is and you are.”

These are the most meaningful quotes from the romance lock in scene. Everyone complains that he just made Rook dessert. But this scene shows that Rook UNDERSTANDS Lucanis. (The player may not and that’s fine.) They see his attempt to make the meal for Rook. He is cooking everyone a nice meal as a thanks for the help with my tragic life but he makes Rook a dessert to match their favorite drink. He is trying to point out that Rook is special, that they all helped but it’s really Rook that he feel the need to thank and apologize to “for everything.”

And Rook, who knows his mind and sees straight through him gets it. They call him out and make him put words to the gesture. He tries and laments that the pastry, his words aren’t enough for them. But Rook disagrees. It’s not kisses or love declarations but that’s okay. The gesture is enough for Rook. Lucanis, as he is, is enough for Rook. They don’t push him for more, they don’t need more than Lucanis is willing to give.

For me, this is just a beautiful scene and a beautiful romance. Lucanis has learned about romance from books and he can’t seem to do it right. He tried for the suave wall kiss but couldn’t go through with it. He tried making them dessert but couldn’t bring himself to profess it. And Rook is just going with the flow, letting him set the pace and taking the pressure off of him to try and meet the crazy standards of what romance is that is set by others. I love it so much.

Reminder for when he “saves” it. He was the one who wanted this, and now he gets to be the hero and win favour with young constituents. Don’t give him the credit for fixing his own problem.

I see people talking about the idea that Teia and Rook commiserated over the challenges of dating Antivan men and I raise you, it is actually Teia and Lucanis commiserate over the challenges of dating De Rivas and their love of puns.

Teia: It is a miracle they have survived so long
