My Acotar hot take is Feyre needs to go no contact with her sisters, SJM’s romanticism of Feyre’s abuse is just an abuser’s dream and anyone who actually suffered what Feyre went through from her family would tell you that the second they can they are NEVER seeing their family again.

Feyre was financially, emotionally and verbally abused for years and now her sisters are still living off her and these stans think that that’s normal … No, and frankly it’s fucking annoying how many times I see Nesta stans say “they need to get Nesta, Feyre and Elain away from the NC” NO we need to get Feyre away from her abusive sisters, just because u wanna fantasise about all verbal abuse victims being as docile as Feyre doesn’t mean they will.

In reality if you treat ur siblings the way Nesta treated hers I can promise u they will hate u forever, they will love you because ur family but they will never forgive you because u ruined them and u can’t take it back.

I didn't include Amren, Mor, Emerie, Eris or Tamlin cause I feel like those would be the scapegoat options.

“Rhysand has been high lord for centuries and he’s done nothing for the Illyrian women” um… no? That’s the exact opposite of what’s written in the books. Rhysand’s father was an asshole who didn’t care to do anything no matter how much his mate begged him to. Rhysand is the one who’s actually trying to stop wing-clipping and giving the females the opportunity to train. The Illyrians took advantage of his 50-year imprisonment and the absence of Azriel and Cassian from the war camps and started treating the females even more harshly. He literally says that he, Cassian and Azriel hunted down and killed many of them when he returned. Of course he can’t do anything instantaneously, and change always takes time, because the Illyrians are a big part of the NC army and war was coming. He couldn’t risk half his army in a time like this. It would only make things worse for the entirety of the Night Court, not just Illyria. Now that the war with Hybern is over Cassian is in the war camps trying to handle the situation—who do you think gave him the order to do that?

I can assure you, the Illyrian women (at least most of them) think more highly of Rhys than any previous high lord.

I’m surprised by this fandom every day—you’re reading books that are targeted towards 16+ year-olds, I assume you have basic reading comprehension skills but I suppose that’s too much to ask for these days…

its @viktoriaashleyyx @booksnwriting @positivleyruined and @goldieb92

Made me so upset since I am also a SA victim and it hurts to see people dismiss that

I don’t follow any of the people you mentioned, and I don’t think I’ve seen many posts from them either, so I couldn’t say which specific posts they made. But thank you for letting me know so I can steer clear of them in the future. It’s frustrating that people in the fandom are minimizing something as serious as SA, especially when it comes to Rhysand’s character. Regardless of opinions on him, it’s important to acknowledge his trauma and not erase or invalidate that part of the story.

I’m also so sorry for what you’ve been through. It’s incredibly sad that some people can’t see outside of the books and understand the real-life implications of these issues. Fiction can reflect reality, and when we dismiss that, it can be hurtful to those who’ve experienced it. Thank you again for the heads-up, and I’ll definitely keep an eye out to avoid those who are spreading this narrative.

[merwgue]

Well, my friends @viktoriaashleyyx and @booksnwriting were tagged in this and I checked all sources to make sure I didn't blame anyone, and I have something to say.

They never invalidated anything, they said using sexual assault as a shield for any consequences is wrong, which it is. Just because something horrible happens to you, doesn't excuse your horrible actions.

And this is coming from someone who was a victim of DV for 14 CONSECUTIVE YEARS, and witness their father get SA'ed by their mother. That doesn't mean I can sexually assault another person, just because of my trauma.

Multiple serial killers have a traumatic past or horrible familial backgrounds, that doesn't excuse what they've done.

But if they did blame rhysand for what happend or if they said rhysand "enjoyed" it or "wanted" it. Then yes, they'd be in the wrong. But they didn't say that.

I ride at dawn for my friends, but when I know they're in the wrong I won't defend them. BUT IN THIS CASS THEY DIDNT SAY ANYTHING REMOTELY ACUSOTORY OR VICTIM BLAMING😭

[hrizantemy]

Thank you so much for checking the sources and letting me know. I truly had no idea about what was going on.

I definitely agree with you that sexual assault isn’t a shield for bad choices, and it’s important to hold characters accountable for their actions. That being said, if this Anon was blindly accusing people or stirring up unnecessary drama, then that’s completely wrong. I had no idea that was happening, so I really appreciate you for reblogging this and clearing things up.

[brycedefender]

I don’t know what @viktoriaashleyyx said but @booksnwriting made a whole post saying Rhysand wasn’t raped so I don’t think the anon made false accusations

[tamsandstan]

Why cant this fandom be normal. Dismissing that a character got r.ped is gross and such nasty behavior. You don’t have to like the character but stop blaming SA victims.

[nestastits-deactivated20250916]

I hate when people assume that because I’m a Nesta Stan I’m anti Rhys

Rereading acotar and I am still confused why feyre didn’t chose Lucien in the first book

[acotarmemes]

ACOTAR poll // crackships or canon ship?

I may have asked this question before but I have a bad memory. So, entertain me!

What is your MAIN ship/shipping interest in ACOTAR?

Canon ship (already in a relationship or previously together)

Canon adjacent (hinted at in the books but nothing official)

Crackships (probably will never see canon)

DOWN WITH ALL SHIPS CANON ONLY

i always have a little giggle to myself reading acomaf when feyre straight up says to tamlin “if you take me from my mate i will destroy you, your court and everything you love” and then he has the audacity to be the surprised pikachu meme when she does exactly that

she warned you dude this is on you entirely

[viktoriaashleyyx]

Okay I am seriously curious. This is not to start an argument but more to just see how AudioBooks vs Reading the words on the page translates to our understanding of the books.

How does your consumption of the reading material affect how you see Rhysand:

I read the books and I am Pro Rhysand

I listened to the Audio Books and I am Pro Rhysand

I read the books and I am Anti Rhysand

I listened to the Audio Books and I am Anti Rhysand.

Feyre said Tamlin abused her. Her friends say Tamlin abused her. Her sisters say Tamlin abused her. The author said Tamlin abused her.

Why do we allow people in this fandom to try and convince us otherwise?
