"Abuse can feel like love."

"Why?"

"Starving people will eat anything."

Now, I hate Damon Torrance with a passion.

Damon eats pain. He will find some way to take it and twist it and fit it down his throat. He's made of it. You all endure it until you overcome it, but Damon... He wants to be in hell. It's where he shines. But still... he never cried.

He may have never cried, but I, however, was sobbing into his book at 3am.

To clarify: I hate him, but his abuse was written well.

When Feyre is like "I can't believe anyone would think Rhysand would assault me or my sisters, this is exactly why I'm gonna get revenge on them later". Like GIRL he drugged you, made you dress in skimpy dresses and made you sit on his lap and dance for him under the mountain in front of everyone. We were ALL there.

Ok I know I’ve said this many a time before BUT. The way the narrative has no problem with Tamlin's abuse, but rather his seeming lack of a good reason for it, hence why Rhysand's abuse is excusable (he has reasons and HAS to abuse Feyre for the greater good) while Tamlin's isn’t (he does not have reasons and therefore is not abusing Feyre for the greater good). The way Tamlin is unwittingly and seemingly accidentally given canonical reasons to act as he does, with nearly every conscious abusive choice he makes having a legitimate concern behind it. The way this is almost barely touched on in the narrative because it undermines the differences between him and Rhysand and makes it so that they BOTH are abusive (because once you acknowledge they both have reasons to act as they do, the conclusion is no longer ‘Rhysand's abuse is ok because he had reasons but Tamlin's isn’t because he had no reasons,’ but ‘They’re both shitty and abusive and Feyre needs to dump them both for thinking it’s ok to abuse her if they have ~good intentions~.’) The way it’d be a stronger testament to the themes of this series if both of them were simply called out and if Feyre ditched both rather than the text running in circles around itself. The way, the minute you think about this series for longer than two seconds, it all falls apart because of the endless hypocrisy. UGHHHHHHHHHHH

“She was BEAUTIFUL, but not like those girls in the magazines. She was beautiful, for the way she thought. She was beautiful, for the SPARKLE in her eyes when she talked about something she loved. She was beautiful, for her ability to make other people smile, even if she was sad. No, she wasn’t beautiful for something as temporary as her looks. She was beautiful, deep down to her soul.”

- F. Scott Fitzgerald

Who do you look for first?

“A woman who doesn’t care for herself first is a woman who eventually becomes bitter, jaded, and bored by life. When a woman feels loved and radiant, everyone who enters her home feels the same. But the key is that she has to be willing to give it to herself first, and she will instinctively pour (what lives inside her) into everyone else.”

“We don’t read and write poetry because it’s cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. So medicine, law, business, engineering… these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love… these are what we stay alive for.”

— Walt Whitman

me when the emotionally repressed character is revealed to have had something happen in their childhood that was completely out of their control but changed them in a way they can never come back from
