Deeply stupid drawing ❤️
I don’t trust people who mock the Valkyries’ win during that Blood Rite.
To those who ‘don’t get’ how they won, it’s like saying Katniss didn’t deserve to win against districts that trained their children from birth. We know Katniss deserved to win because we know how she did it.
We were there at the Rite with the Valkyries. We read how they used the monster/beast to their advantage. There were weapons too. They might not have been trained as long, but they’re also female, and the people in the Rite got distracted because of it. Their mere presence hurt their fragile male egos, adding another advantage for the Valkyries. With so many advantages on their side, it’s very possible they could win. And no, these advantages don’t diminish their legitimacy compared to other winners.
Just because they know how to utilize what they have while those brutes don’t, doesn’t mean they’re less qualified to win.
We know HOW it happened. We read how they trained in both Valkyrie and Illyrian techniques. Even Cassian and Azriel (TWO of the Carynthians) deemed them qualified to enter the Blood Rite. That’s the point of the qualifier isn’t it? They PASSED the qualifier so they are QUALIFIED. And the Bat Boys won because like the Valkyries, they worked together as a team. Do you think Cassian and Azriel would set up that test if they didn’t think the Valkyries had a chance to win? It was the Valkyries who didn’t want the glory of the Rite.
Just because the Valkyries didn’t train as long or aren’t massive 7 foot tall males doesn’t mean they can’t win using their strength, intelligence and instinct. Did we read the same thing? We know every single thing that led to their win. The most irritating thing is the mocking of it all.
Also, why would the IC send Nesta on life-threatening missions before the Rite if she wasn’t qualified? Are they saying the IC intentionally put Nesta in danger? Oh wait…
There’s this running theme of Feyre forgiving those who have wronged her, while Rhysand aggressively asserts that he will never forgive them.
We see this with Nesta and Lucien, and the whole song and dance of Rhysand refusing to forgive those who hurt Feyre or those he perceived to have hurt Feyre can be understood as a kind of fantasy. I’ve said it before, but Rhysand’s aggression towards individuals who harmed Feyre appeals to a desire to be defended by a much stronger party against an enemy you were once powerless against (all while never having to ask them and in many cases, disavowing such a reaction)
Readers who relate to Feyre can take pleasure in seeing the ones who harmed her (according to the text) be punished through becoming dominated by her new powerful and devoted protectors. Making them feel guilty for their actions, making them submit to her through force or intimidation to engage in a kind of indulgent performance of self-flagellation. We see this with the hike Nesta is forced to go on, the purpose of this hike is not for her self-actualization, but for the pleasure of seeing her in intense emotional and physical pain. The wish fulfillment narrative takes pleasure in watching her grovel for Feyre’s forgiveness, which is why it goes back on the sisters relationship development multiple times. Maas just can’t help herself.
For Rhysand, the most powerful High Lord in all the land and being impossibly powerful, flatters the reader through his aggressive defending of Feyre. Feyre who was once her family’s mule (in ACOTAR’s ridiculous and drawn out sequence of indulgent suffering porn) can magnanimously forgive her sisters for their past mistakes, while also having them punished whilst disavowing that very punishment. This is especially apparent with Nesta, the frequent subject of Rhysand’s ire, who is disproportionately punished for her past wrongdoings.
I recognize it, but I really can’t buy into the pleasure of the wish fulfillment in the story because I don’t think that Nesta or Lucien ever deserved the harsh treatment they got. Their past actions weren’t bad enough to justify such horrendously cruel treatment and intimidation on the part of the IC. This breaks the illusion and makes me dislike the IC and Feysand.
I think Nesta would secretly make aesthetic moodboards on Pinterest.
Funny how Nesta gets the “mean rude awful attitude” title but she’s not the one blowing up in violent anger every time something doesn’t go her way 🤷🏻♀️
I know the whole book was fucked up but there's something just deeply evil to me about not even letting her have SUGAR in her oatmeal. It's been bothering me all day.
