Micah is a fucking sadist. He asked bryce to look for the murdere of her friends.

[anonymous-20-16]

How did Bryce's 'friends' let her walk home on the night her friends were killed?

When they met to got to Fury warned her against being distracted and not being alone, that she'd get killed but allowed a very intoxicated n drunk bryce go home all alone?

Wft

To know that juniper hadn't taken any drugs/alcohol but still let thsi happen.

Ik these two probably hooked up which is why Bruce walked hoke aloen but still, putting her life in danger like this isn't something "friends" do.

They both basically walked out of her life after the gang died. Which in itself is devastating. Leaving someone at such a crucial time. 😪

glimpse into Eris's life

She doesn’t have to watch anything,” I cut in. “Not when you fling that sort of horseshit at her.” I looked to the alchemist. “I will take your antidote.”

  Beron rolled his eyes.

  But Eris said, “Father.”

  Beron lifted a brow. “You have something to add?”

  Eris didn’t flinch, but he seemed to choose his words very, very carefully. “I have seen the effects of faebane.” He nodded toward me. “It truly renders us unable to tap our power. If it’s wielded against us in war or beyond it—”

  “If it is, we shall face it. I will not risk my people or family in testing out a theory.”

  “It is no theory,” Nuan said, that mechanical hand clicking and whirring as it curled into a fist. “I would not stand here unless it had been proved without a doubt.”

  A female of pride and hard work.

  Eris said, “I will take it.”

  It was the most … decent I’d ever heard him sound. Even Mor blinked at it.

  Beron studied his son with a scrutiny that made some small, small part of me wonder if Eris might have grown to be a good male if he’d had a different father. If one still lurked there, beneath centuries of poison.

  Because Eris … What had it been like for him, Under the Mountain? What games had he played—what had he endured? Trapped for forty-nine years. I doubted he would risk such a thing happening again. Even if it set him in opposition to his father—or perhaps because of that.

If u guys have any requests from me in terms of what to post, u can dm me.

U can also ask about crescent city books.

Good day

[shitwillnotbegiven]

Some questions about Crescent City that i can't find the answers. If someone remember something i might have missed, feel free to answer to this post.

Do the Starborn only have light powers ? Because there's this line in Hoaeb and Hosab about Helena that says she has both light and shadow powers :

“Night-haired Helena, from whose golden skin poured starlight and shadows."

There's an emphasis on the starlight powers in the books but wouldn't this line also indicate that the Starborn Fae also have shadow powers ?

Did Pelias and Helena's line continued only in the Valbaran Fae ? I mean except that one time where the Valbaran Fae line and Avallen Fae line crossed ? Do we know which of Cormac's parent ancestor have this 2 bloodlines ? It seems it is Cormac's father, King Morven (Bryce calls him "Uncle Morven"), but i'm not sure.

Also, Cormac says this when he was asked about his teleportation powers :

“Where did you inherit the ability from?”

Cormac squared his shoulders, every inch the proud prince as he said, “It was once a gift of the Starborn. It was the reason I became so … focused on attaining the Starsword. I thought my ability to teleport meant that the bloodline had resurfaced in me, as I’ve never met anyone else who can do it.” His eyes guttered as he added, “As you know, I was wrong. Some Starborn blood, apparently, but not enough to be worthy of the blade.”

He is part of the Starborn bloodline and his shadow powers are different from Ruhn's (whose powers come from the Avallen Fae line). Does this mean that Cormac's shadow powers come from the Starborn Fae line ?

Cormac's powers are really similar to Azriel's and people have already theorized even before Hosab came out that Azriel could be a descendant of the Dusk court. The Starborn Fae originated in Dusk's truth and if the theory that Theia's second daughter came back to Prythian to close the portals is right and that she continued Theia's line with the Illyrians, that would mean the Dusk court theory is true. Azriel also has the twin dagger of the Starsword. If the Starsword is charged by light, Truth-teller could be charged by shadows. And if the Starborn Fae have both light and Shadow powers, it would make sense that one of them was fulled by light and the other by shadows.

I've tried to make a descendants chart for Fionn and Queen Theia (i have included Azriel even though it's just a theory) but i feel like i'm forgetting something.

[anonymous-20-16]

Why did u join tumbler? (I joined for nsfw stuff..they removed those tho)

How long ago? (2 years max or less)

[anonymous-20-16]

Does anybody else get blinded with rage at the entire inner circle?

(Except Azriel, he was the only 1 I could tolerate)

Lile these people are some of the worst. I can't wait for Eris, fox eye, the autumn family storyline,vanserra family,

theyre the only thing making me interested in acotar future series,

Bryce fights with her father bcos he changed her name

------

A ripple of fire, of pure power, shuddered through the building. Silence flowed in its wake, the usual background noise halting.

had barely hung up when the Autumn King walked in.

“Trash gets dumped in the back,” she said without looking up.

“I see your irreverence has not been altered by your new immortality.”

Bryce lifted her head. This wasn’t how she wanted to start her day. She’d already spent her walk to work with Ruhn, needing him to explain to her twice about the plan to have Queen Hypaxia escorted by Ithan and the dragon in exchange for the witch-queen contacting Connor’s spirit on the equinox. She’d been slightly nauseated at that, but had grunted her approval before she left him on the street, telling him to give Hypaxia her number in case she needed anything. A few minutes later, Ruhn had forwarded the queen’s contact information.

Her father sniffed her. “Would you like to explain to me why you have mated with Athalar, when you are betrothed to a Fae Prince?”

“Because he’s my mate?”

“I didn’t know half-breeds could have such things.”

She bared her teeth. “Real classy.”

Fire filled his eyes. “Did you not consider that I arranged for your union with Cormac out of your best interests? The interests of your offspring?”

“You mean your best interests. As if I’d ever let you within a hundred miles of any child of mine.”

“Cormac is powerful, his household strong. I want you in Avallen because it is a safehold. Even the Asteri cannot pierce its mists without permission, so old is the magic that guards it.”

Bryce stilled. “You’re full of shit.”

“Am I? Did you not kill an Archangel this spring? Are you not now at the mercy of the Asteri? Are demons not once more creeping through the Northern Rift—in greater numbers than ever before?”

“Like you give a single fuck about my safety.”

Flame rippled around him, then vanished. “I am your father, whether you like it or not.”

“You didn’t seem to care about that until I surpassed you in power.”

“Things change. I found watching Micah harm you to be … unsavory.”

“Must have really bothered you, since you’ve seemed to have no issue with harming others yourself.”

“Explain.”

“Oh, come on. Don’t give me that blank fucking look. The last Starborn Prince. You killed him because he was special and not you, and everyone knows it.”

Her father threw back his head and laughed. “Is that what you think? That I killed my rival for spite?”

She said nothing.

“Is that what prompted you to hide your gift all these years? Concern that I’d do the same to you?”

“No.” It was partly true. Her mother had been the one who’d thought that.

The Autumn King shook his head slowly and sat in the chair opposite her desk. “Ember fed you too many lies born of her irrational fears.”

“And what about the scar on her face? Was that a lie, too? Or an irrational fear?”

“I have already told you that I regret that more than you know. And that I loved Ember deeply.”

“I don’t think you know what that word means.”

Smoke curled from his shoulders. “At least I understand what it means to use my household name.”

“What?”

“Princess Bryce Danaan. That was the name you gave the Governor, as well as the director of the Crescent City Ballet, isn’t it? And what your lawyer—Marc, is it?—called you in his letter to the Astronomer, justifying the fact that you and your brother had commandeered four of his slaves.”

“So?”

Her father smiled faintly. “You purchased influence with my name. The royal name. You bought it, and there are no returns, I’m afraid.”

Her blood went cold.

“The legal paperwork for your official name change is already filed.”

“You fucking change my name and I will kill you.” Starlight flared at her chest.

“Threatening your king is punishable by death.”

“You will never be my king.”

“Oh, I am. You declared fealty by using my name, your title. It is done.” Rage surged through her, rendering her mute. He went on, enjoying every second of it, “I wonder how your mother shall react.”

Bryce shot out of her chair, slamming her hands on the desk. Light shimmered at her fingertips.

Her father didn’t so much as flinch. He looked at her hands, then her face, and said blandly, “You are now officially a Princess of the Fae. I expect you to act as such.”

Her fingers curled on the desk, her long nails gouging the wood. “You have no right.”

“I have every right. And you had the right not to use your royal privileges, but you chose otherwise.”

“I didn’t know.” He couldn’t get away with this. She’d call Marc immediately. See if he and his team could find some way out of it.

hosab 144

“Ignorance is no excuse,” her father said, cold amusement frosting his face. “You are now Bryce Adelaide Danaan.”

Bile burned her throat. She’d never heard anything more hateful. She was Bryce Adelaide Quinlan. She’d never stop being a Quinlan. Her mother’s daughter.

Her father continued, “You will maintain appearances with Cormac for as long as I command you to.” He rose, glancing again at her hands—the lines she’d gouged in the desk thanks to that new Vanir strength. His eyes narrowed. “What is that number there?”

She flipped over the piece of paper on which she’d written the sequence of numbers and letters on Sofie’s body. But despite her rage and disgust, she managed to ask, “You know it?”

He scanned her face. “I will admit to turning a blind eye to the recklessness of your brother, but I would think you, Princess, would be more careful. The Asteri won’t come to kill me first. Or even Athalar. They’ll go right to Nidaros.”

Her stomach twisted. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.” What did the sequence from Sofie’s arm have to do with this? Had he known Sofie? She didn’t dare ask. Her father stalked for her office door, graceful as a leopard.

But he paused on the threshold, attention going to the star on her chest. “I know what it is you’re searching for. I’ve been seeking it for a long, long time.”

“Oh?” she sneered. “And what is that?”

The Autumn King stepped into the dimness of the stacks. “The truth.”

hosab 145

[anonymous-20-16]

Autumn King is related to Vanserra family

There's the obvious similarities such as power (fire manipulation), physical (red hair, quick to anger, power hungry etc).

He's a relative of the Vanserra family. Remember the fae who first came to Midguard came with the intention to conquer (sounds exactly like the Vanserras).

Einar is a decadent of the Vanserra family since he's only 400+ years old, they came to Midguard over 1500.

This could be one of the reason the autumn King wanted to look for the truth of their origin. He knows there's more out there.

There's also the fae saying "wen the knife and sword reunites, so shall our ppl". He has access to all fae archives n knowledge. He studied starborn line & mysteries around it intently during his youth.

Not to mention his interest in finding patterns, studying and experimenting with how light travels.

I think hes a clever person and I would like him to have a redemption arc of something.

[anonymous-20-16]

Hey!!! Do you know what page on the physical copy the quote where Cormac says Bryce could have saved him was on?

It's towards the last pages of the book. During the bar scenes before they go to crystal city, where bryce discovers the truth.

[anonymous-20-16]

Bryce expresses her grief about her father

“I could handle the Starborn shit. I could handle the magic,”

She lifted her head, dread and panic flooding her expression.

she said, voice muffled against his chest. “But this … I can’t fucking handle this.”

“He owns me. I’m chattel to him. If he wanted me to marry Cormac tonight, he could sign the marriage documents without even my presence.

" If I wanted a divorce, he’d be the one to grant it, not that he would. I’m a commodity—either I belong to him, or I belong to Cormac. He can do whatever he wants, and no amount of bravado from me can stop it.”

--------

I seem to have overlooked this scene.this shows alot of tensions but mostly fear from bryce regarding her father. No matter how she acts around him (she's confident, insults him, calls him trash), deep down she's terrified of him.

He has the power, influence and society (they belive women belong to men) on his side and he can do whatever he likes.

This free reign makes him more dangerous. This also let us know that bryce's only power is the media, or beating him physically.

All I can say is that it's going to be interesting to see bryce finally go head to head with him.

I know they will fight, probably physical this time. Her learning about ruhn's scars just pushed her over the edge.

[anonymous-20-16]

Are we all going to ignore the fact that the autumn King had randomly kept amber's phone number on his phone?

(When he called amber during the climax of the book, where Bryce's powers were revealed?)

He hadn't called or contacted her before but kept the number anyway ?

I want a redemption arc for him. We all know bryce is going to kick his ass when she comes back, both for how he treated her snd regarding ruhn's scars.

HOSAB SPOILER

.

.

.

.

Quotes that KILLED ME in Hosab a summary:

1.

"The frigid water hit Sofie like a bomb blast, and then the lead at her feet grabbed all that she was and might have been, and pulled her under"

First of all....fuck you

2.

"I was hoping to find a way to spend my life with her."

Second of all...FUCK YOU

3.

My stupid ass: I won't have my heart torn to pieces by Bryce and Danika's friendship in this book.

Sarah:

"The sorceress said a shade gently, “You won’t find any traces of Danika left in the Bone Quarter, you know.”"

Me:🤡

4.

"“And yet your father is allowed to stay in power?”

“Yeah. Aren’t all of these assholes allowed to stay in power? Who’s going to stop them?”

“Us. People like us. One day.”

Lidia Cervos everybody, the MVP, the Dreamer born in a Court (Or perhaps house is more appropriate) of fucking Nightmares.

5.

“You’re the first person I’ve spoken to normally in … a very long time.”

“How long?”

“So long that I think I’ve forgotten what it feels like to be myself. I think I’ve lost my true self entirely. To destroy monsters, we become monsters. Isn’t that what they say?”

And thus I pledge my undying love to this fucking ship that wrecked me.

6.

“They’re not worth my anger. I have to keep remembering that.”

Life lessons from Juniper everybody. You tell them girl, you tell them.

7.

It might have been the worst lie she’d ever told, because as Ithan left, he looked like he actually believed her.

What number if this? Oh yeah...seventh of all FUCK YOUUU

8.

“I’m sorry if I gave you false hope.”

“It kept her alive in my heart a little longer.”

When I tell you I fucking died....I. FUCKING. DIED. I was fucking sobbing. Thanks Sarah! THANKS GIRL. Once again making me care for the secondary ships and then destroy the shit out of them.

9.

Ruhn drifted, quiet and calm. When was the last time anyone had told him a story to lull him to sleep?

This quote that just SCREAMS lost innocence. GODS.

Ps: Ruhn is my favourite fucking character, and I want the head of the bartard he has for a father on a fucking spike for all the shit my baby had to go through.

10.

Ithan’s mouth dried out. What would he even say to Connor? I love you would likely be the first. I miss you every minute of every damn day would be the second.

Somebody just give Ithan a fucking hug. His grief and guilt messed me the fuck up throughout the book. Also the accuracy of this quote just had me sobbing at 4 in the morning. FUCK.

11.

But a Fae Queen had loved a demon prince. And he had loved her enough to …

To lose a fucking war because of she died. AND THUS I STARTED CARING FOR AIDAS AND THEIA AS WELL. FUCK. ME.

And here comes the good stuff.....

12.

Baxian peeled back the collar of his battle-suit, revealing brown, muscled flesh. And a tattoo scrawled over the angel’s heart in familiar handwriting.

Through love, all is possible.

She knew that handwriting. “Why,” she asked carefully, voice shaking, “do you have Danika’s handwriting tattooed on you?”

Baxian’s dark eyes became pained. Empty. “Because Danika was my mate.”

I SCREAMED. I SOBBED. I THREW MY PHONE TO THE FUCKING WALL.

MY FUCKING SOUL WAS RIPPED TO FUCKING PIECES.

GODDDDS!

I actually feel like I manifested this ship, because I was like...HUH He's a shady motherfucker, he and Danika would be lit together...such a shame. AND THEN THIS FUCKING CHAPETR CAME AND I. FUCKING. DIED.

I can't even describe how much I ship this. The fact that its canon is the joy of my life and the fact that she is fucking dead is the bane of my existence.

13.

Baxian:

“I loved her. More than anything.”

Me:

OH GOD PLEASE NOOOO

14.

Danika’s mate still loved her.

SOMEBODY PLEASE STOP THIS TORTURE FOR FUCK'S SAKE

15.

“You return to me.”

“I return to you.” He spoke in a voice that was and wasn’t his own. Some small part of him screamed.

THARION BABY NOOOOOO

16.

“You fear him.” Something primal stirred in Ruhn.

“Yes. His wrath is terrible. I’ve seen what he does to enemies. I wouldn’t wish it upon anyone.”

“Can’t you leave him?”

She laughed, harsh and hollow. “No. My fate is bound to his.”

“Your fate is bound to mine.” The words echoed into the darkness.

AND THUS MY SHIP SAILED AND TOOK MY FUCKING HEART WITH IT

17.

“I’m going to find you,” he said against her burning hair. “I’ll find you one day, I promise.”

When I tell you this is my favourite ship in the series I fucking mean it.

18.

His love transformed her back into a witch, melting away all that she’d become. They dwelled in peace in the forest for the rest of their immortal lives.

The whole story ruined me, but the end....oooh the end left me sobbing.

19.

He was fairly certain his soul lay in splinters around them.

Mine too Ruhn baby...mine too.

20.

But … I know how it feels to wake up one day and wonder how you got so far from that carefree person you were.

This broke me because I can relate to my fucking core. I kinda think that all of us can actually. So yeah...cheers to that 🍻

21.

Tharion knew that tone. Knew that look. And it was then that he understood.

Cormac hadn’t just gone rogue. He’d never intended to get out of here alive.

Which makes the whole conversation with Ruhn ALL THE MORE HEARTBREAKING.

At least he is with Sofie now ....

22.

He dove deep, into the place where he’d always run to avoid his father’s ministrations.

SOMEBODY KILL THE FUCKING KING OF AUTUMN RIGHT FUCKING NOW. I MEAN IT.

23.

His ally was his enemy. His enemy was his lover.

And I will go down with thiiis ship...

24.

Lidia had so much blood on her hands that there would never be any washing it away.

I only had her for half a book but if anybody touches her I will riot.

25.

Ruhn looked at his sister and said softly, “You brought so much joy into my life, Bryce.”

And there goes what was left of my fucking heart.

26.

“I love you. I wish I’d said it more. But I love you, Quinlan, and …” His throat closed up, his eyes stinging. His lips brushed her brow. “Our love is stronger than time, greater than any distance. Our love spans across stars and worlds. I will find you again. I promise.”

DEAD. GONE. IN FUCKING PIECES.

AND THUS ALL MY DAMN SHIPS SUNK AND WENT TO FUCKING HEL. THANKS SARAH. SEE YOU IN A YEAR.

when people say “b-b-but feyre HAD to lock nesta in a house because she was embarrassing her and rhys”

seriously?

mor, azriel and cassian all canonically slept around and drank their weight in alcohol for CENTURIES and it’s not embarrassing? cassian publicly banging someone against a wall is less embarrassing than nesta privately bringing guys home?

feyre destroying a court when she’s supposed to be a high lady is less embarrassing than nesta drinking and keeping to herself?

feyre breaking the rules of the high lord meeting and using her powers to attack court officials is less embarrassing than nesta drinking?

feyre and rhysand banging in the sky over velaris is less embarrassing than what nesta was doing?

feyrug and riceman designing their 6th mansion while their citizens are struggling after the war is less embarrassing than what nesta was doing?

feyre saying that nesta was embarrassing her is so funny to me because feyrug, rhystrash and the inner circle have single handedly embarrassed themselves so much 😭😭😭 anyways, let’s finally admit feyre pulled a tamlin on nesta and move on 👯‍♂️
