Baby Nettle in a cottage with some stinging nettles around her crib...
Molly Chandler (Badgerlock) spends many nights alone in her bed probably wondering and trying not to think about where her husband is and what is on his mind. She spend years alone in bed while Fitz wrote romantic and passionate letters to the Fool battling with his love, need and desire which he pushed deep inside but could not be denied anymore. There is a new work on AO3 called The Cold Side of the Bed by mellowthorn and these images are based on that or your imagination of how she felt.
I took a really long time to construct this room and there is a second version which I will upload as well.
The Fool
[Robin Hobb]
Thoughts about time and clocks, minutes and seconds and everything that it entails... Created in Adobe Photoshop CS2 with the addtion of BeFunky filters. The original image was a fancy pocket watch which I broke and pulled apart to create what you see.

I was honestly so surprised that I’ve only seen one fanart of this scene?? It feels like something that could’ve been drawn a hundred times.
I love Amber so much.
I keep thinking about how, out of all the different versions of the Fool, she’s the one who gets to be the most emotionally open: She’s young and in love with Fitz, she has literal telepathic conversations with him every day for fifteen years, she does all these “foolish” things like creating a new face for Paragon, dreaming about a child and a family with Fitz when they become older. Yeah, she only said it out loud once — when she was just happy to see an old friend — and after that, she always called Bee Fitz’s daughter. And she kept stopping herself every time she got too close to that weird line between "my dear more than friend" and "it reminds me of Molly". And through all of it, she stayed so painfully alone. It’s just… heartbreaking.
Fitz said he didn’t like her — I forget what exact word he used, but honestly, whatever it was, he could’ve said the same about the Fool in general if he wanted to. Sure, he’s the most charming person in the world, but he’s also a manipulator, if he needs to be somewhere, he’ll get there, even if it means hijacking a ship full of hostages.
/Speaking of old friends — and one more thing that absolutely broke me — the dragons, yeah, they’re total assholes, but the way the dragons of the Paragon completely ignored Amber? You were jealous, you considered her your friend, and she was your friend, bringing you silver and all… Funny how, after becoming dragons, you just forgot about her ?
//I rarely write long texts — I have to double-check everything I write in English to make sure it’s still readable. But I have so many thoughts
Blog to share my digital art created in Photoshop mostly for Realm of Elderlings but also other fantasy and sci-fi books and shows. I will also share some photography and possibly other tentative thoughts and fascinations when the fancy strikes me.Give every man thine ear, but few thy voice; Take each man's censure, but reserve thy judgment.
