in denial and rewatching the series… remember the halloween episode (“Spooky”, Season 1 Ep 5) where idk experiment 300 shows people their worst fears… and nani sees cobra changing his mind and saying he’s taking lilo…
it’s almost as though media is meant to be viewed critically… and that’s not to say someone has to look at it from these angles (i think one of the things about sjm is that people can read as much or little into it as they want) but to then dismiss constructive conversation that views the content as a somethibg to analyze critically (like anything pop-culture is)….
SJM fans who go "It's just fiction." when you point out a flaw in her writing are a pain in the ass. When a author wants to write about fantasy, they'll take things from REAL LIFE to put into their stories. There are authors out there who will write their ideologies into their books and SJM is one of them.
Feyre dismantling the spring court out of petty revenge? Colonization.
The inner circle not allowing ANYONE from hewn city to enter Velaris and if they did, they would be treated horribly? Segregation.
SJM describing her POC as not striking, not beautiful compared to her main characters? Racism.
Hybern being based on Ireland and Prythian being based on Britian? The portrayal and demonization of Celtic culture? Do you know what the other name for anti-Irish sentiment is? Hibernophobia. That is a one letter difference.
"Hybern's geography closely resembles that of Ireland, while Pryhtian resembles Britain. Sarah J. Maas took inspiration from both countries to create the two locations." That's from the trivia section of the wiki page for Hybern.
The fae enslaving humans for hundreds of years? And Rhys has the audacity to say both sides are wrong.
I AM NOT AT FAULT FOR POINTING OUT THESE KIND OF THINGS. FANTASY CAN BE AND IS A REFLECTION OF REAL LIFE!
something about the fact that all 3 of our pov district 12 tributes were not selected fairly. lucy was picked because of the mayor’s daughter’s was jealous. haymitch because he intervened with the peacekeepers. and katniss because she volunteered. the spark, the flint, the fire.
Join me on my journey to finally unbalance my hormones, toxify my body, boost my inflammation, maximize my cortisol and absolutely destroy my gut health.
if SJM ruins Elains modesty I will show up at her house and take away her phone and laptop and every single female character who has been butchered by her hands do not try me

aidas would be so unimpressed and underwhelmed the comedy potential
Personally I can’t wait for Aidas and Rhysand to meet.
back to this quote, I think I’ve cracked a major reason why training women to fight was Illyria going so abysmally other than “all Illyrian men are just The Worst” it’s like. not only are the men extremely psychologically fucked up from experiencing this insane amount of violence and abuse starting at eight there’s also going to be natural feelings of resentment that the women didn’t have to go through this and still get to be warriors and fight. they desperately need to rationalize the amount of abuse they experienced so it can mean something so now anyone who didn’t spend their formative years getting their bones broken is obviously No True Warrior. There’s an obvious misogyny element but also deeper psychological component that if they see someone like the Valkyries succeed when they started training as adults they might have to look inward and realize it was all for nothing. that they suffered so much for so many years for ultimately no reason. sunk cost fallacy yada yada
each time someone makes ai content in this fandom (I refuse to call it art) and another makes videos etc with that content, an angel loses its wings
Blame this guy named tony for this ok😭
