432: The Gang Gets Heavy

CW: In this episode, we discuss abusive relationships, including physically and sexually abusive relationships. Denna has found her patron, at last - and Kvothe is not well pleased about it. We talk about beauty standards, and the complicated situation that Denna is in, and how Kvothe’s reaction, however well-intentioned, is made with an incomplete understanding of the situation. Furthermore, we connect Denna’s abuse at the hands of Ash with the circumstances of Kvothe’s own life. We then talk about Denna’s hair, and how it’s braidedness relates to the events of the scene. @pageofthewind pageofthewind.com If you want to donate to the SFWA’s Legal Fund to help ensure that authors like Alan Dean Foster are paid the royalties they are owed, here is the link: https://www.sfwa.org/about/benevolent-funds/legal-fund/
