It's Wild To Me When I See Booktokers Finally Read ACoTaR And Then Say Things Like "Wow This Silly Little

Sure, Night Court drama is interesting. You got that whole thing with Cassian, Mor and Azriel. You got Cassian and Nesta ETL. You got whatever is going on with Azriel, Elain, Lucien and potentially Gwyn. You've got the Archeron sisters fighting like cats and dogs. You've got Rhys thinking he's doing the right thing but he's actually fucking up majorly. It's messy as hell. It's a trashy reality TV show that's kind of cringey to watch, but you watch it anyway because you can't look away from the clusterfuck.

But the Autumn Court? The Autumn Court is in a league of its own. You got Lucien being the product of an affair between the LOA and Helion that spanned centuries. You've got everyone knowing that Lucien is the product of this affair except for Lucien and Helion themselves. You've got LOA hating her abusive husbands guts but not doing anything about it besides probably plotting his death with her eldest son. You got the Vanserra brothers actively despising each other and throwing each other under the bus every chance they get. You've got the whole shit with poor Jesminda that Lucien spent centuries blaming Eris for, even though Eris did what he could to try and help. You've got an entire court running on shitty policies that someone needs to do something about. You've got centuries of bad blood in a family, where truly anything could have occurred. The alliances, the betrayals, the scandals.

That is a reality TV show that I would watch the shit out of.

oh.

If "my house, my chair, my women" doesnt become "my kingdom, my throne, my queen" I might riot

honestly at this point i no longer use hashtags that get my posts seen yk. like this is my personal rant space, the point is not the amount of people that sees my post. it's for me.

The thing about sjm

is that as problematic as she is, her writing touches me. I'll be reading acotar or hoeab or tog and then there's these moments where I truly feel the writing. I can connect with what sjm have written, I can connect with what Feyre, Nesta, Aelin is feeling. And she describes it in a way where I read a sentence and what I am feeling or have felt is described perfectly. And there's these sudden bursts of emotions because it's not because she wrote she's sad or she's mad, but she shows how conflicted the character feels, how helpless, how afraid these characters feel, in a way that made me realize that I'm not alone in my feelings and that others have felt what I have felt too. This is why I fell in love with her writing, with her characters. And if she's problematic, then so be it, but I'm not going to stop reading her books because I believe that the book and the author are seperate things and just because you hate the author, doesn't mean you have to hate the characters too. And even if she racist or homophobic, I still thank her for writing these books, for helping me realize that it's going to be okay through her writing.

"Elain doesn’t owe Lucien a thing …"

May I say this much: if Elain wants Lucien to stop visiting, then she does owe him the decency to politely tell him so.

In my humble opinion she owes him a healthy amount of kindness. Not because he’s her mate, but because he’s a living being with emotions. Explain to me how it is justified for Elain to be nice to anyone but Lucien? It’s not, not anymore. I’m not saying Lucien is entitled to sweet words, endless conversations, let alone dates. She owes him one sentence.

One "I appreciate your presents, but I need space and time." One "I don’t want you to ever visit again." Whatever.

Elain is an adult in her mid-twenties, I trust her to speak for herself, as she has before. It’s not too much to ask. It’s not on Lucien to read her like a book. He’s not intrusively going against her will. Elain has never voiced how Lucien should or shouldn’t act because she has no solution either.

Don’t you find it sus how Elain, is an angel to anyone but the guy whose middle name is gentleman? The guy who gives her space, brings her presents and doesn’t expect anything? This doesn’t look like a girl who doesn’t care to me, it looks like a girl who’s overwhelmed.

To be clear, I’m never saying it’s not valid for Elain to feel uncomfortable or pressured. Her emotions explain but they don’t justify her ignoring Lucien. I’m never judging Elain for anything. However, there comes point where it’s no longer excusable to push things, people, along. And that point is this close 🤏 to be reached by Elain.

celaena and chaol (taylor's version)

Chaol: never learned to read your mind Celaena: never learned to read my mind Chaol: I couldn't turn things around Celaena: you never turned things around Chaol: you never gave a warning sign Celeana: I gave so many signs. You didn't even see the signs.

no but you all need to imagine future Lana Myers and Logan children bc child be like: so Mommy how did you and daddy get married

Lana: Oh sooooo I was a ✨serial killer✨ killing my rapists and then daddy was investigating my case. then I meet daddy and then three books later we kinda broke up because he thought I was Kennedy Carlyle, you know, the girl who's identity I stole. Oh also you never see us on *enter Lana Logan anniversary date* because daddy's finding me a criminal to torture 😌. Yeah so sleep well children that's your bedtime story for tonight.

I love them, your honor

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.
