The most disturbing things portrayed in ACOTAR

Victim-blaming: Lucien tries to help Feyre and gets physically abused by Tamlin as a result. Feyre then proceeds to call him a dog despite Lucien doing everything he could in a difficult situation. And we're supposed to...support Feyre on this? And Rhysand throws around words like "can never forgive" man stfu you prick.

Sexual Assault: The most disturbing thing is not that Rhysand sexually assaulted Feyre. It's that he's never held accountable for this and never even apologizes at ANY point in the series. There are so many examples but this is the one that is the most disturbing.

Double Standards: We have Tamlin locking Feyre up for her own good being vilified, yet Rhysand is championed for locking Lucien and Nesta up in houses for their own good. Huh? WTF.

War Crimes: What Feyre did to the Spring Court, manipulating the sentries with the whole Ianthe thing and basically getting them killed, then weakening the Spring Court rulership which resulted in all those villagers in the Spring Court getting killed, then laying the Summer Court bare to Hybern as well, are nothing short of war crimes. And...instead of feeling regret, we have the main characters saying "Hybern's actions are their own." Like bitch what? Hybern wouldn't have been able to do shit if it wasn't for you! Have some damn accountability! And the fact that Tamlin and Tarquin are vilified for this never ceases to irk me.

Grooming: Rhysand groomed Feyre. He made excuses for everything he did with trauma, then sent Feyre out to do tasks for him like she's some kind of weapon he can use. WITHOUT giving her proper information, there is no choice. And everything he does is constantly explained away, until eventually Feyre becomes his trophy wife. Rhysand basically assigns Cassian to do the same for Nesta. I'm holding out hope that Elain will be saved from the Night Court.

The pregnancy debacle: the whole thing with the baby having wings and Rhysand withholding information from Feyre is just...disturbing. Idc if you're not telling her FoR hEr OwN gOoD, it is HER life at stake and she deserves to know. They didn't even try to shapeshift her to try and save her life? Like why is everybody seemingly more concerned about the baby than the mother? Disgusting. And why is Nesta vilified for being the only one to tell Feyre? She said it to hurt her, blah blah blah. She also wanted to show Feyre that their situations are similar. That they're BOTH being shit on by the Night Court. And when she's close to a breaking point...Nesta is forced to hike a mountain? That is physical abuse. Also, Rhysand being extremely territorial putting a shield over her and barely letting Feyre go anywhere is beyond weird.

Suicide baiting: What Rhysand did to Tamlin in ACOFAS is nothing short of suicide baiting. And...only Lucien seems to really be that concerned about it? Like...are you telling me I'm supposed to be supporting Rhysand after he basically told a depressed male to kill himself?

Segregation: Separating the Hewn City from Velaris IS segregation, no matter what excuse you try to come up with. You can't claim they're all shitty people, since your bestie Mor comes from the CoN. So, there are good people stuck in the CoN unable to get out of their torment because Rhysand decided that only certain individuals are allowed in Velaris.

Performance Feminism: Establishing laws to help women and not doing shit to enforce them is performance feminism. If he's as powerful as he says, he can 100% stop wing-cutting and r*pe. But, he's a goddamn virtue signaler so he doesn't fucking care. The thing is, SJM could've handled these topics in a much better way and it would've been fine. But she completely fucked shit up here and it's crazy that some people don't see it. Part of me is still waiting for the final book where she says, psych rhysand was the villain the whole time. If so, I'll take everything back.

[castlecalypse]

She couldn’t handle the topics because she simply cannot write. I don’t mean this in a nasty way but she honestly can’t. Her writing is reminiscent of poorly executed wattpad fics

[szalonykasztan00]

The difference

Mostly the pre-acomaf but R/hysand sad songs continue.

[castlecalypse]

Feyre being completely revolted at the fact the spring court enforces a tithe and then the author making it known that Rhysand would NEVER will never not be funny to me.

Having taxes paid is such a common law in most kingdom settings. It’s not a barbaric act (although it can be taken advantage of by manipulative rulers).

Tamlin was fair too, he gave the option of having extra time to pay or have it doubled if they didn’t pay after the allotted time . Like yes that can seem harsh but I literally agreed with him. If he goes easy then people can and will just take advantage. He needed to enforce rules.

[rin-u-pos]

He was villainized over a basket of fish 💀

[castlecalypse]

Genuienly DISTURBS me to see all the tik tok girlies obsessing over ACOTAR. How? Why? HOW?

DID YOU READ THE 2 DIMENSIONAL WRITING? It was giving 2010 wattpad fan fic

Did u read “ my bowels turned watery “ THREE TIMES IN BOOK 1. (Author thought she ate with that pls😭)

And the main character. Like she’s just ur stereotypical Y/N “strong” “ fiery” heroine ( she was written so badly I tried so hard to like her)

The word “pissy” to describe characters behaviour like 100 times.

The whole plot of tamlin all of a sudden becoming some evil villain and it not making sense but readers going along with it to get some bad boy smut?

It’s giving Damon and Stefan

and the girls are RABID. They r getting TATTOOS from the book. Like HOWWW?????

There’s just this need to jump on trends like the whole “strawberry girl makeup” “cookie brownie hair”. That’s the only reason I can come up with.

The CRINGEY ASS SEX SCENES- like why r y’all covered in paint. You could have moved it. Just picked it up and moved it but na y’all wanted to fk in it because the author was like oooh this is gonna be so hot and steamy.

And finally after all this I research the author and find out she’s a Zionist so like GIVE ME SOMETHING TO WORK WITH BABES - BEING PRO GENOCIDE AINT THE VIBE?

I’m still reading cause I’m trying to give it chances- trying to get the hype, but y’all idkkkk

it makes me wonder where rhysand gets the money to have like 3 houses + building a new one… Hes like super rich but where did he get all these said riches? something tells me it wasnt in an ethical manner…

[castlecalypse]

Don’t even get me started on all the unethical things he’s done (in my opinion) but are magically forgiven because of the “deep down inside he’s a self sacrificial sweetheart” stereotype.

“You wear the same jewels

That I gave you

As you bury me”

Tamlin POV of Feyre plotting his downfall

[castlecalypse]

This song is perfect for Tamlin. I’m going to pretend his character wasn’t grossly miswritten after book 1. And if the author actually acknowledged his trauma and him and feyre actually had a goodbye. Because he did mean a lot to her and vice versa. And that couldn’t be erased as easily as it was written even though they both had their own traumas to deal with.

“Next year, the year after that, and even the one after that will all be good. Because I’ll be thinking about you. I’ll be grateful that you were born into this world. I’ll be grateful that the person I love is still breathing.”

It was so hard to watch Selena Gomez’s documentary but I’m so glad I did.

It’s so strange to think at the same time, we were, in many ways, living a parallel life on different scales. A terrible storm cloud of physical and emotional destruction that led to the absolute darkest days. Her lupus and my endometriosis, both unfathomable heartbreak from toxic partners.

It’s so hard to explain to anyone who hasn’t been suicidal — what it feels like. It’s beyond depression. It’s a different beast. Like you’re staring down an endless corridor of darkness and there is absolutely no escape.

Terrible twists, one after the other keep piling up until you just want to let go.

And then … to somehow not. To somehow hold on. To keep pushing forward. To come out the other side. And what that looks like! In some ways a switch almost flips in your brain. In other ways it’s a continuous struggle. You may not be depressed but you still have that anxiety, those daily doses of regression where it can all be too much. And you question — just for a second — if you’ve come as far as you think you have. But at the end of the day, you know you’ve done it. Because no matter how bad you feel … the way you felt before? You can’t even touch that kind of emptiness anymore.

I see her in these meetings and on stage having these panic attacks and I feel it in my gut. I’ve never had lupus or a kidney transplant and I’ve never lived with the whole world watching. I fought a battle on such a smaller scale, but I still see myself so deeply reflected in her.

I just wish I could give her a hug. Because that girl is a survivor. I BARELY made it through my pain. I am absolutely astounded at how bravely she pushed through hers.

What a fighter.

on another note, cutting the doc short was definitely a mistake. it almost feels incomplete. but the courage it must have taken sel to even release the footage that we see in the doc is beyond impressive

火垂るの墓  (1988)

[uwumachinez]

After watching "Grave of the Fireflies" all I have to say is: beautiful. A real work of art, I cried from the beginning until the end. The story, the art, everything's amazing. It's definitely one of my favourite Studio Ghibli's movie!
