you guys have no idea how much this moment means to me. this is one of the purest fucking moments in the whole ass riordanverse and no one can tell me otherwise. this moment is the best part of the book. this moment is the best part of the series. i love it so much. i am screaming into my pillow.

lemme drag letitia again
she really had the audacity to tell them they could become british, that they could sever their ties to their motherlands like it wouldn’t leave them completely adrift. i’m gonna come at this from a different angle than loss of identity.
letitia was at babel when anthony faked his death. she saw how little anthony, a whole fucking babel professor, was mourned. she is also the same person who get fucking yelled at for sitting in evie’s seat even though she’d been in the ground for years. clearly between the two someone was considered british and it wasn’t anthony.
so tell me again how victoire, ramy, and robin are supposed to become british?
let’s say that wasn’t the case and proving themselves with their labor was valid. guess what, they’re still not british. letitia could’ve stayed at her father’s estate instead of coming to babel and she’d still be considered british without her productivity being measured. should victoire have to wear a badge saying how many match pairs she’s come up with so people treat her with basic human decency? no, but that’s the best chance she’d have. what about that screams acceptance?
and to go back to the evie bit, that’s part of why letitia’s interlude had me hot. yes patriarchy gives robin and ramy some benefits, but at the end of the day they could never become evie to babel. letita, however, did when she succeeded where evie failed and brought hermes down.
in conclusion, letitia is an unempathetic delusional self-righteous pos who couldn’t just stop being a white women™ for 2 seconds and simply look at what was right in front of her.
