One thing that really annoys me is when people forget that you, the reader, know everything that is going on in all the characters' heads at any given time, but the characters themselves do not. You can see all the reasons the character made a difficult decision but the other characters may not.

Like when Nesta made the decision to give Bryce the Mask, she made a judgement call that she believed was right, and she was. But Rhys also had the right to be mad about it because Nesta just handed a potential enemy a weapon that can literally enslave their minds and raise the dead. Both of them are right, and neither of them are wrong. Since they do not possess a hive mind, they will see themselves on different sides of a conflict, even though they are both acting with the best of intentions.

The same thing happens with Choal and Aelin in Queen of Shadows. When she comes back from Wendlyn, he finds out that while he was knowingly committing treason against the country and his friend, while he was investigating magic, which is literally illegal, and had to watch Sorscha beheaded, Aedion imprisoned, and Dorian exposing his magic in front of his father and then had been forced to run, Aelin had been off playing magic school with a faerie prince. Obviously, you, the reader, know that this is completely untrue and unfair, but Choal doesn't since he can't see inside Aelin's head. He is doing what he believes is best and he does act like an asshole, but only because he can't see the full picture, which is a product of him being a character in the story and not a reader who can see everyone's perspective and knows the full truth. Once he does realize how wrong he was, he apologizes to Aelin and he helps her, because he can now see that she was right.

I think readers should be aware that just because a character acts in conflict with another character doesn't mean that one of them is now an asshole and they are eternal enemies and that you need to constantly hate on the one you believe is wrong. It simply means that they can't read each other's minds like you can so maybe just like... try to assess the situation from both perspectives? That's half the fun, seeing how different people with different react to the same situation.

Finally getting around to posting this adorable Bryce and Hunt commission from @dimalry ! I had the pleasure of commissioning them as part of their chibi commissions for Palestine fundraiser, where all the proceeds went to helping a family in need💗 Thank you Dima for creating this piece for me and for hosting this fundraiser!

if hunt athalar has a million fans, then i am one of them. if hunt athalar has ten fans, then i am one of them. if hunt athalar has only one fan, then that is me. if hunt athalar has no fans, then that means i am no longer on earth. if the world is against hunt athalar, then i am against the world

them: but he’s my sweet baby boy!

him: a literal war criminal, has a kill count that needs scientific notation, once leveled a city because someone looked at his person the wrong way, breathes in moral ambiguity, walks into ambushes like he planned them, sharpens knives just to think, holds grudges like sacred texts, is banned from six galaxies and still wanted in nine, would burn the world and everything in between just to save the one thing he loves

[gwynrieldefenseatty]

Personally I think people who don’t like Hunt Athalar are fucking losers

reading a “there was only one bed fic” and the characters have decided to share the bed as long as they stay on their sides. i’m really glad they figured that whole mess out and am excited to read about them staying on their sides of the bed until morning^-^

oh dear

I finished the Crescent City series and damn.

Bryce and Hunt are the best.

Now to finish TOG.

[winterinvelaris]

the archeron sisters act that way because they were neglected. feyre rejects proper care because she was neglected. nesta craves princess treatment because she was neglected. elain carefully curated a version of herself that she thinks will earn affection because she was neglected. they were all neglected.

[charny]

Finished Quicksilver and Brimstone so now I have to wait til November for the next part. I really need to stop getting into unfinished series because the wait for the next parts will kill me
