when I think of Cassian defending Feyre from Nesta in book 2. sure. surface level Nesta deserves to get a tongue lashing. whatever.
however
Feyre brought three very large fae men into Nestas house without so much as a heads up. Not only that, Rhysand ordered all staff (including their protection) to be removed from the premises, leaving only Nesta and Elain by themselves. Two very human women
one of whom has already been sexually assaulted
all those girls have is Nesta and her sharp tongue and mind as Any kind of protection. Feyre brought three apex predators into their home without so much as a heads up. She thought Feyre was *dead*
and on top of that, Rhysand lured the attor to their home and then let it go
The attor. who worked for Hybern. The ATTOR who worked for HYBERN. who now had the Exact location of the two very human Archeron Sisters
idc if the IC said they'd protect the sisters. Idc if they denied the offer to come to velaris
Feyre brought three apex predators who were a part of a slaving race without so much as a warning into their home and then ordered all their staff out of the house so they were *alone* with these apex predators and then Rhysand painted a BRIGHT red target on their back by luring The Attor to those girls front steps
If I post my new poem on here are yall gonna throw tomatoes at me?
Rhysand is an idiot for getting angry at Nesta for handing over the Mask to Bryce, I don’t care.
He specifically delegated the task of accompanying Bryce to Nesta and Azriel.
He refused to look into Bryce’s mind.
So Nesta did what the IC asked of her, gaining information and getting a read on Bryce - and then Rhysand has the nerve to threaten to execute her when she makes an educated decision?
Ultimately, Nesta was the one who got to know Bryce. Rhysand’s judgement wouldn’t have been more accurate than hers. ‘Bryce could’ve fed her lies.’ But did you read the interactions between Nesta and her? How they opened up to each other, in a way that they both knew despite everything else happening, that that was sincere?
Besides, Nesta has always been sharp-minded. When has she ever let rose-tinted glasses get in the way of seeing someone for who they are? She is intelligent, and she doesn’t let her feelings get in the way of discernment.
Rhysand had his many opportunities, but gladly handed them off. If you want to be in control so badly to the point you’re willing to kill someone for disobeying, respectfully, take matters into your own fucking hands from the beginning.
I have yet to see Rhysand do one thing that is even remotely intelligent. Has he ever been useful, like truly? When it really came down to it?
Cassian meant it when he said everyone fucking hates her. That didn’t just pop into his head in the heat of the moment. When he said he felt shackled to her. When he took her on a hike until she passed out. Every single time he used her for sex. Every single time he defended Rhys when nesta needed his support. Every single time he waxed poetic about the good qualities he sees in Mor and Feyre and bemoaned the terrible qualities he sees in nesta. Every single day nesta was locked in that house, he hated her. Laughed at her struggling. Starved her of every good thing she’d ever said she wanted. He hated her through it all.
This was a book written by a woman, against women. The dichotomy between good and bad is irrelevant— sjm only cares about the difference between women who obey men and women who need to be punished for disobedience. She promotes themes of SA, violence against women, and general brutality that uses women’s trauma as plot devices (primarily to promote male ‘heroism’).
Sooo guys my plan is for the next few blogs should be about the final gambit and once that done imma writing about Bridgerton season 1&2 along with Queen Charlotte cuz I gotta YAP
So I finally had a day off and could wacth season 3 of Bridgerton and oh.my.god. AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.So three things before I get into the meat of it. First of all, I sincerely hope that Violet and Lady Danburys brother get a chance to connect more MAMA VIOLET DESERVES LOVE TOO! Seecond the fact that Anthony cannottt keep his hands off Kate is so hilarious to me like get awf that lady and let her breathe. And third Francesa being a subtle autism rep is so amazing to me, as an autizzy person myself seeing someone with the same mannerisms as me within a romance setting is so refreshing like it truly puts joy in my heart. And also the sign language in the first episode???? love itttttt, they truly perfected diversity without shoehorning it.
Now to the meattttttt of it.
Now friends to lovers has never personally been my thing and in terms of each bridgerton show im gonna rank this leason my second least favorite but thats NOT to say I dont like it I very much enjoyed this season but i do have my critiques.
1
While I get a giggle out of Pen's sisters I cannot stand her family as a whole, for the simple fact that they treat her as if no one would EVER want her just because she plus sized and has "odd interest" in their words, it infuriated me how her mother wanted Pen to say yes not because she was happy for her but because she truly thought this would be Pen's only chance. Despite my disliking her family it was a good plot point for her to finally decide to make a change and put herself out there. I feel like in her previous two seaons for her she didnt put herself out there because, as weve seen, she has a huge lack of confidence that it was more than likely the work of her mothers and her sisters doing. I also loveeee the wardrobe change from bright gaudy colors and patterns to more Bridgerton esqe colors in her wardrobe. The wardrobe in Bridgerton has always amazed me but putting Pen in that light blue was amazinggg she was gorgeous and glowing. Even her sisters were eating this season like props to wardrobe and makeup bc they ate. Im so worried to see whats going to happen when Collin eventually finds out shes lady whistle down like omgggg.

I don't hate Eloise and Cressida NOW HEAR ME OUT OKAY. Cressida is still not a good person at all but I'm so glad we got to see more of her character bc it definitely shed light into why she acts that way. It would be completely ignorant to sit there and believe that the pressures of the ton to be perfect and find husbands quickly and avoid scandal WOULDNT make the girls get a little nasty with each other. The pressure from her parents specifically made me go "Oh girl I think id get nasty too if those were my folks." In no way does it excuse her treatment of Pen tho!! I also liked that it was Cressida who clocked Eloise's tea about her pointing fingers immediately at her when Pen got exsposed. Not to mention when the girlies came to Cressida for tea SISTA DID NOT FOLD!!!! She politely said naur and kept it pushing. Like I understand Cressida was neverrr the nicest and was a gossip but if Eloise decided to hang around her then she shoulda had faith in the girl. Like Eloise I love you but doooo betterrrr. Don't get me wrong at all yall Eloise is my fav but I'm glad people are clocking her for her shittt. I hope Cressida and Elosie stay friends but they constantly build off of each other to be better bc I loved how Eloise made her dislike of Cressida's treatment towards Pen known.

This is so unrelated but i love bennedict BAD hes sooooo idk yall I need him.

COLLIN BRIDGERTON IM HERE TO CLOCK YOUR TEA.
Imma be real I might be bitter bc I feel like Pen shoulda made that man grovel. After what he said about her to his friends in the previous season he should have been on his hands and knees BEGGING for her forgiveness she let him off too easy. Also I don't really appreciate that it took another man giving Pen attention for his stupid ass to finally be like "Oh shed kinda bad actually." I ALSO don't like how when he described how he liked Pen as a friend it wasn't because of her actual qualities it was how she made HIM feel. "You're always here to listen to me and give me a new perspective!" Sir you could have just said she was very insightful, you enjoy her company SOMETHING other than a service she has done for you. That why Im glad he was suffering so bad every time he saw them together he was SICK to his stomach and I'm here for it.
All in all I cant wait to see how things go down next bc I think everyine is gonna reap what they sow Pen, Collin, Eloise EVERYONE. bc the sneak peak looked crazyyyyyy.
Anyways the next thing I should post will be the Finnal Gambit the last book in the trilogy of the hawthorn legacy series.
See yall later!
yall i graduate college this semester so im not gonna have time to do anything with this account BUT DONT WORRY i will be back
The way Nesta would decimate Feyre in a fight🙆🏻♀️
I always find it so funny when Rhaenyra antis try to use, "She's a spoiled brat," as a drag. Like a fork found in the kitchen babes let's think.
Rhaenyra was the ONLY surviving child of Viserys and Aemma. Not only was she the only surviving child, but she also grew up in arguably one of the most peaceful eras of the Targaryen dynasty. Of course, she's spoiled!!!
She's the crowned princess of the realm even her dragon Syrax was spoiled and she even matched a heart shape on Syrax's harness to a necklace she had. There are a lot of conversations about the links between the targs and their dragons and Syrax herself doesn't even hunt she's so spoiled.
On top of her parents spoiling her Daemon (ugh) constantly catered to her, brought her gifts, etc. Why are we surprised that she's spoiled?
And Rhae knows she's spoiled so it's really not the drag they think it is.
I feel like we could also argue that Alicent children are spoiled as well. So the insult just doesn't land in my opinion.
No seriously why do we not name chapters anymore????
A list I made just to satisfy my vain cravings for resonating mottos for a secret society I'm working on. Enjoy!
