“Well, if you cannot call me ‘Beloved’, then I suppose you should continue to call me ‘Fool’. For I am ever the Fool to your Fitz.”

Did a quick redraw of my Fool and Fitz drawing from 2009! I must say I’m very disappointed in myself. It’s not that much of a difference. |: Oh well. Just means I have to work even more!
Oh and I forgot the hand…. Oops.
And if you know these two characters, LET ME LOVE YOU. Because these two are some of my favorite character EVER. They are the feelpairing above all others. Ah, breaks my heart. </3 One day I’ll do something proper for them :’D
"What good is a life lived as if it made no difference at all to the great life of the world? A sadder thing I cannot imagine. Why should not a mother say to herself, if I raise this child alright, if I love and care for her, she shall live a life that brings joy to those about her, and thus I have changed the world? Why should not the farmer that plants a seed say to his neighbor, this seed I plant today will feed someone, and that is how I change the world today"

"You seek a false comfort when you demand that I define myself for you with words. Words do not contain or define any person. A heart can, if it is willing. But I fear yours is not. You know more of the whole of me than any other person who breathes, yet you persist in insisting that all of that cannot be me. What would you have me cut off and leave behind? And why must I truncate myself in order to please you?"
— Robin Hobb, Golden Fool (book 2 of the Tawny Man trilogy, part of the Realm of the Elderlings series)
"This, more than anything else, is what I have never understood about your people. You can roll a dice, and understand that the whole game may hinge on one turn of a die. You deal out cards, and say that all a man’s fortune for the night may turn upon one hand. But a man’s whole life, you sniff at, and say, what, this nought of a human, this fisherman, this carpenter, this thief, this cook, why, what can they do in the great wide world? And so you putter and sputter your lives away, like candles burning in a draught."

"Did you ever truly believe I might seek from you something that you did not share my desire for? Well do I know how distasteful you would find that. Well do I know that seeking that from you would irreparably damage all else that we have shared. So I have always avoided this very discussion that you have forced upon our friendship."
