Sometimes, You Hate The Boy Sitting Next To You So Much You Want To Punch Him, But He Always Manages

another day without a morally grey fictional man who would commit arson for me

Friendly Reminder

Bryce vacuumed Micah up.

but-- but-- what if it's a happy reunion?

---

SJM:

I know everyone is rooting for a crossover but if Bryce and the IC ruin my queen Aelin Galathynius’s peace with her mate, I will be deeply upset.

Aelin has done ENOUGH. Let her live in Terrasen happily.

I have a very very very very important question:

Do y'all haters read acotar just for the sake of critisizing it? Cuz it pisses me off (cuz YES i do get defensive cuz i love them but i get ur freedom of expression stuff) but i get it cuz being judgemental is fun. i like it and I started this post as being sarcastic but now i find it funny. One thing, totally fine with critisizing characters, but its a direct insult to actual humans beings if you call them *dumb*, who, by the way, read sjm bc they like sjm and actually feel happy reading sjm and is certainly smarter than people who read sjm for the sake of hating sjm cuz why waste your time if you don't even like it? It's like wearing the color pink to tell people you hate pink like why do you even bother? also, riceman and feyrugs actually really creative, but my acotar loving side is screaming but all is well.

would love some responses, feel free to hate (since you probably hate for the sake of hating, no judgement even if you call be dumb cuz i am since im failing math) will respond when im bored and will try not to get defensive (but i will)

if i sound sarcastic or stuff, i swear im not but have fun hating cuz im also gonna have alotta fun answering

honestly before i went on instagram after acosf i didnt even known gwynriel was an option and genuinely thought no one shipped elucian 😭

This scene in ACOFAS is iconic. ICONIC! This was such a respectful, kind thing to do Az did. Even though they’re a family and super informal, it re-iterated how much he does pay attention to Elain, her presence, her efforts to be part of the family. (ALSO, CAN WE TALK ABOUT HOW THIS WAS SUCH A HUSBAND THING TO DO - yes one of my headcanons is that Elriel is going to get a human wedding LOL)!!

The fact that it was clear he meant, wait for Elain to sit before eating, the fact that nobody began eating till she served herself, the fact that after she said hello to him she excused herself to fix her hair and apron, the fact that at this dinner table, Az breaks the tension between Elain and Amren… it’s so fascinating and sweet to see how innately he seems to be aware of her feelings her thoughts. Even if he doesn’t know what she’s thinking, he always seems to be trying to understand. Which is more than can be said for most of the IC, at the moment.

And in this same scene, when Rhys tells Feyre that Az told everyone to wait because he’s sensitive to how women are treated because of his mom (which I fully do believe!!) but then doesn’t seem to be able to connect the dots that this moment is very much about Elain when Feyre very obviously pokes holes in his explanation… SIGH. Rhys unintentionally pulls the wool over what is obvious to Feyre.

Sometimes I feel as though Rhys misunderstands Az’s feelings for Elain as purely physical. Perhaps he doesn’t expect it, perhaps he doesn’t want to face that he is asking his brother not to pursue the person he loves for political reasons. As if Az hasn’t been emotionally tapped into Elain’s every emotion, laugh, helping her heal from her trauma, from the second she arrives in Velaris. How in the midst of everything he tried to be her FRIEND, he wanted to and did save her from Hybern, the necklace, the talking about her garden plans. How Az seems to care for Elain in a way where he ‘sees’ her. And it’s understood how important this is for Elain, (who is ironically now a Seer) - to be seen. She commented much earlier in ACOWAR, how Graysen ‘saw’ her when nobody else did. When Az comes for her in Hybern, she ‘devours’ the sight of him, even says the words ‘You came for me.’ I always found Az’s response to her words, a mere incline, cock of the head so.. telling. As if it was unfathomable that he wouldn’t come for her, as if he was implying that it made all the sense in the world for him to be there for her and get her home, unharmed and safe. He sees her, he notices her, puts her first, prioritises her, is as aware of her laughter as he is of her sadness.

And that is WHY it isn’t purely ‘physical.’ And I know that when Elain and Rhys comes to a head about everything (because let’s be honest, Elain is going to pop off at Rhys for interfering, albeit unintentionally, with her choice, and maybe even at Az if he doesn’t tell her). And Feyre and Nesta will be right behind her and things will work out because Az and Elain deserve to have a happy ending, just as much as everyone else in this damn story.

and yet i somehow still read them and complain that they're absolute shit afterwards 🫤

is it just me, or does the marketing tactic of "booktok fave!" or "hot on booktok!" or whatever... do the literal opposite of what it's intended to do?

Oh, it's popular on booktok? Guess I won't touch that one with a 20-foot pole.

favourite tog series quotes- (3/?)

Of Talons and Light | ACOTAR Fanfiction

Chapter Five

It was about as close to winnowing as chopping off one’s hand was to clipping a hangnail. The black noise dissipated gradually, and Feyre found herself hunched on the ground, gasping and trembling and doing her best not to vomit onto the gleaming marble biting into her knees and palms. She heard Nesta nearby in much the same condition.

Their ragged breaths echoed off the glossy smooth walls and floors and pillars, all just planes of white in her periphery as she drew her focus inward. On not being sick. On staying whole. The jasmine-scented breeze helped, cooling her face and calming her stomach. An eternity later, the shaking stopped. Her battering pulse slowed, and her vision cleared. As Feyre finally lifted her face to take in their surroundings, she nearly cried.

The Moonstone Palace. They’d made it.

My opinion on the moral discourse surrounding certain celebs or authors Part I

will include links to Part II and III when posted

I love social media. But I hate the backlash that comes every time someone has a different opinion than the generally accepted view. I hate how when someone decides not to take a stance against things like the lgbtq community they get hated or shammed. I hate how we can't just like a certain celebrity but we have to care about whether they have a good background. Supporting black people, supporting the lgbtq community is important, but if your tactics are going to be to shame people who don't support you, then how are you any different from those who oppressed you? This is a small account, and I don’t know how many people would read this. But if you did, thank you for taking the time to do so, and feel free to comment your views, as I know there will be many. I will try to respond to those I could (if any). I believe that our world is changing, and we can't do anything but to accept it. But I also believe that accept doesn't equal support, and while I may not buy rainbow t-shirt, I believe that as long as I don’t insult these people, it is okay, and I shouldn't be shammed because of that. Nor should I be afriad to say I don't wholly support the generally accepted views. I have to believe that, because if social media has become a place where I get insulted or get called racist or homophobic simply because I like certain author or certain celebrities, then social media's original goal of allowing everyone to expres their opinions as long as it doesn't hurt anyone is no longer there.

I swear y’all acotar haters who compare sjm (who writes masterpieces) to Colleen fucking Hoover only read the first book. (Which is still a problem because the first book is still >>>>> anything coho can ever conjure in that tiny brain of hers)

And throne of glass!! like ok if y’all hate acotar cuz Rhys fucked in a war tent Rowaelin fucked on a beach I hope thats more acceptable for you. (no but fr tog is also a literal masterpiece. The ending of EoS???? KoA????? hello?)
