The amount of self importance it takes to be a transphobe needs to be studied😭😭The same person whose entire online clout is built on tearing down and hating on an entire marginalized demographic. Who gets to speak for them when they are sent to the edge by the things u do and say?

Rag Day
In Nigeria, Rag Day is a fun tradition where people dress in worn-out or ‘crazy’ clothes as a playful celebration, often for charity or parties.

Tofa, last but not least, the king himself...this man made me feel so much despite having the least scene time in the book. I loved him at the start, then I wanted to hate him for Lore's sake; however, I just couldn't. 10/10 character development. #FOTS #WeWhoOwnTheSun @justmarvewrites.bsky.social

Alawani, the runaway Alufa... I won't lie, I share some of Baba Itan's concerns about him. He seems to have a lot of hidden layers that make him seem untrustworthy, but I love how he treats Lore. It was so beautiful to read #FOTS #WeWhoOwnTheSun @justmarvewrites.bsky.social

Milua, the best one for me... I loved her guts and just how complex her character was. It was easy to empathize with her even if she was a threat to our protagonist... the perfect Antihero IMO #FOTS #WeWhoOwnTheSun @justmarvewrites.bsky.social
