TamlinWeek Day Three: Fashion

Ahhh! It’s this time of the year again!

I chose to use just the ‘fashion’ prompt for today. And for said fashion I present my take on the Spring Court soldier’s armour. With Andras’ uniform being the standard sentry uniform and Tamlin’s being embellished to show his royal status. Despite not having designed helmets for Spring I think they’d have pretty beetle like designs same as the shoulder plate and boot spurs.

Tamlin’s hands are also not gloved like the standard uniform so he can grow out his claws while in battle.

There’s a lot of leaf and beetle inspiration in the designs and I was particularly inspired by the Leaf Men designs from the Blue Sky Studios movie EPIC if any of you have seen that.

(*cough cough* this is also a sneak peak for my submission for the collab prompt…but that’s just between the two of us shh…)

The IC are... Kind of Boring?

Think about it. They don't grow as characters in the series. They just sort of... exist. They're really not much more than Barbie dolls, which I know is an insult to Barbie. Barbie at least has had several careers.

We only know the bare bones of their past and most reveals are just there to show how tragic and terrible they were. Okay, they had a bad childhood, etc. But even tragic backstories have moments of levity and lightness. What about mentioning some of those? (Granted, the entire past timeline has so many gaps it's like looking into a blackhole, but that's another discussion).

What about the present? These people are 500 years old and all that seems to be going on in their lives is their jobs (that we never see on page) and wandering around Velaris.

Okay, work with that. What do they do in Velaris besides go to restaurants and bars? Does Azriel have a favorite bookshop? Does Mor have a favorite tailor or jeweler? Does Cassian have a favorite blacksmith or outdoor park? Does Rhysand have a favorite tea shop or symphony hall? Feyre already has a favorite art studio, why don't the others have a favorite place in the city they've lived in for hundreds of years?

We see some places in Velaris, but it's never to really expand on the world or talk about the fae that live there. It's to make it look pretty and modern in a fantasy world.

Do they have any friends at all outside of the IC? The only excuse that we know for this not to be a thing is that the courts are generally isolated. But do you think that would stop Cassian or Mor? Heck, it should be part of Azriel's job to have friends and contacts in each court. Lucien has contacts in other courts. Why not them?

As far as I know, Cassian and Azriel don't have a home of their own. I don't think Mor does, either. If we do, we don't see it. I know Amren has an apartment because we actually go to it. What, you're all a bunch of bachelors/bachelorettes living under the same roof? You never once tried to move out and have a space of your own?

It's just odd that for as much as the IC are in these books, there's not much about them. Favorite color? Favorite food? Favorite book or play? Hobbies? Worst breakup? Can these people even answer a BFF quiz from a teen magazine?

You know what else I want to know? What exactly do Cassian and Azriel wear when they're not in Illyrian armor? I think there's a few times when they're in casual clothes, but what does this look like? Fan artists, give me casual clothes! And I mean more than just a white shirt and black pants. I need them in a vest, multiple belts, coats with collars. Someone should have a pierced ear and at least one gold chain around their neck.

The IC are just there to give Feyre her found family and nothing more. But the fun part about found family is that you get to know the found family. Instead, they're... props. For a plot that has no idea where it wants to go.

[7virgo7]

I will never believe that the same people who justify Rhysand love Feyre. NO, if they loved her, they would have no excuse for Rhysand's actions. Loving Feyre and at the same time justifying what Rhysand did to her is impossible. He abused her, manipulated her, harassed her, disregarded her free will, and sexually assaulted her. He hid medical information about her body from her!!! You can love Rhysand as a character, but justify the violence he committed? No.

First post for @tamlinweek Day 3: Fashion. I always thought the Lord of Spring would look fabulous just dripping in gold and jewels.

Spoilers ACOTAR

You know what is very funny?

Both the narrative and fandom making excuse for Rhysand's actions from TAR and SF with the pretext that he did it for Feyre to try and save her life. If you look at the story, he failed the task twice. So, not only is he misogynistic in his actions, but he's also incompetent.

I can excuse the misogyny, but I draw the line at hyping incompetent men.

Yeah, in TAR all the SA spectacle to save her from Amarantha. All this so she'll still die at the end.

In SF holding the secret about the baby trying to find a possible cure. And he planned to tell, obviously, he just wanted to tell when they will have the solution. Well guess what, she was giving birth and died in the process.

[silver-flames-of-dusk]

Saying that Nesta owes Feyre everything is such a toxic take. Nesta doesn't owe Feyre anything if Feyre truly did everything out of love for Nesta rather than a desire to own and control her sister. Just like Feyre doesn't owe Nesta everything for her saving Feyre's life. Just like Cassian doesn't owe Nesta everything for saving his life on multiple occasions. Just like Gwyn and Emerie don't owe Nesta everything for saving their lives during the Blood Rite.

What is done out of love isn't a debt or a transaction that needs to be paid off. Nesta should not be enslaved to Feyre for the rest of time just because Feyre did the hunting. Nesta has done more than enough to make up for it by protecting and helping Feyre, the IC, the Night Court, and all of Prythian.

nesta: snaps when elain is dismissive and inconsiderate

elain: "she's not even trying"

meanwhile nesta: training, working at the library, releasing her emotions in a healthy way, eating, making friends, not fighting with cassian, getting proper sleep, reconnecting with her hobby of reading

sure elain

[silver-flames-of-dusk]

I had someone comment on one of my reddit posts saying that Feyre is the voice of moral rectitude in the series. Feyre, who murdered an innocent with hate in her heart? Feyre, who slept with an engaged man and even considered sleeping with him after he married if she became desperate enough? Feyre, who committed war crimes? Feyre, who lied about sexual assault and then wanted to punish the males who believed her? Feyre, who used Lucien to make Tamlin jealous? Feyre, who caused an innocent guard to be whipped and only went to check on him afterwards to make Tamlin look bad? Feyre, who almost didn't intervene when she saw Lucien being sexually assaulted by Ianthe? Feyre, who sexually assaulted the people in the Hewn City and Velaris? Feyre, who burned the Lady of Autumn? Feyre, who bought her fifth mansion on war-torn land while the people in her city were struggling after the war? Feyre, who pulled a Tamlin and locked her sister up in the HoW so she could control her? Feyre, who displaced innocents out of their apartments because they made the terrible mistake of living in the same building as Nesta? Feyre, who had sex to an image of her young son?

Feyre wouldn't know right from wrong if it hit her in the head. If she's the voice of moral rectitude, then no wonder the series doesn't make sense. Feyre's the villain of her own story, all while the narrative bends over backwards to justify her actions and maintain that she's a "good person" who can do no wrong.

[livinforthetea]

It's unbelievable that this has to be repeated but apparently there are many many women out there that do not get it: Rhysand and Cassian not telling Feyre and Nesta (before they start having sex with them) that High Fae women die trying to give birth to winged babies is like a man sleeping with a woman and not telling her that he has an STD.

And NO it does not matter if Nesta or Feyre initiated the sexual activity.

And NO it does not matter if they are taking precautions against pregnancy.

And NO it does not matter if pregnancy is rare.

No matter what way you look at it, it is an incredibly selfish gross violation.

(And frankly it's pretty gross that these guys seem to not want anything to do with the women that would be able to procreate with them and why they don't seem to be interested in them....).

[whispersfrostfall]

Here's why Rhys not telling Feyre about her high risk pregnancy isn't "him protecting her" or "wanting her to have joy" but is instead abusive, cruel, and selfish. To give hope to people when you know there is none is never okay. If he truly saw her as a partner or as his "equal" he would have told her immediately and they could have sought a solution together. You know, as a team? A partnership? A couple? Instead he took it upon himself to not only not tell her, but to then have the four whole other people around her not tell her, too. To me this is a massive tell that they do not respect her in any way, shape, or form but also that her title is as hollow as his love for her. He was really going to let her go through that whole situation joyful and excited and then what? "Oh by the way I know you're in labor but you're probably going to die. I'm sorry I didn't want to tell you because you were so happy. And I guess I'm going to die, too, because we made that bargain for some reason like two children in their first relationship where we pinky promise we'll never breathe at anyone else or else we'll just die. Good luck, orphan son!"

We've all experienced betrayal. What he did was betraying her. Knowingly. His so called good intentions do not excuse the harm he chose to do. They make it -and him- worse.

Feyre has gone from being thrown into one dangerous situation after another again and again and again but because she's pregnant she's suddenly so weak and fragile that she can't handle the truth of the danger he put her in? It's giving "don't talk to the women folk because they are too delicate to understand" when two seconds ago she was watching a war and five minutes before that she was committing war crimes etc etc. Yes HE put her in this situation. Yes they fucked, but prior to this there is no point in time where the potential dangers of her carrying a winged baby are discussed (who knew bat wings are rock hard and wrapped in razor blades or something straight from the womb) but instead he gets off to the visual of his kid and that's that. There is no excuse for Rhysand in many situations through the books no matter how hard his creator tries to limbo and macarena her way through dodging his wrong doings but especially not for withholding that from Feyre.

[silver-flames-of-dusk]

I always thought that Cassian acted entitled to Nesta. The entirety of their Wings and Embers BC was him being so highly inappropriate, plus grabbing her without her permission (which he has done on more than one occasion) just felt to me like he felt entitled to her body because he believed her to be his mate. The narrative villainizes Nesta for not being interested in Cassian, for setting boundaries, and for rejecting a present from him, which further enforces Cassian's entitled attitude towards Nesta. Even during their fight on the Sidra, Cassian should have been more understanding of Nesta's feelings considering it was she who would be sacrificing the last scraps of her humanity by accepting the mating bond, but yet again Cassian prioritized himself and the fact that he felt entitled to a mate over and above his mate's own feelings.

[designerpotatosack]

I don't ship Emorie because aside from the fact that Mor is a badly written token gay character with no real development whatsoever, she's also someone with extremely questionable views in universe too. She views illyrians as savages who r beneath them and cannot be fixed. And while that can be a good character arc (or not. Idk how Racism is Bad is that hard), I don't believe she'd actually GET ONE because the IC is Always Right. And to add to that, Mor, as one of the ruling class, is also responsible for what is happening w the illyrian women and girls, and she too has spent 5 centuries not giving a shit. Not to mention she literally does nothing for the women in the part of the court she rules directly. She is hateful of those she considers Other, and she loves to c them suffer. And while all of that can be redeemed, I do not believe sjm would ever admit Mor was wrong. So no, I do not like the idea of Emerie being w Mean Girl™ just because they're the only queer girls in the series. because I'm a homophobic misogynist, apparently

[silver-flames-of-dusk]

Nesta and Cassian (and the entirety of the IC, really) all have anger issues and they all lash out and intentionally hurt others when they're angry or hurting, yet somehow Nesta's the only one who needs to own up to being in the wrong, Nesta's the only one who needs to apologize and ask for forgiveness, Nesta's the only one who needs to change and better herself. The narrative really falls flat with this logic. Feyre herself has done far worse things than Nesta has. Cassian has done far worse things. Rhysand, Az, Mor, Amren have all done worse things. But Nesta's, somehow, the problematic one.

[designerpotatosack]

Call me an overthinker but it feels a little bit discriminatory how the Cassian-Azriel-Rhysand dynamic is brushed off as unserious "Boys will be boys" thing in the same series that villainises the fuck out of Nesta for being a normal goddam sister.

So Cassian and Rhysand, who didn't like each other, banded together to "make Azriel's life living hell." Wow that's SO FUNNY OMGGGG. The High Lord's son and a ward of the Lady of court bullying a traumatized, abused kid with literally no one. Such a heartwarming story awwww.

Now I don't want to hear anyone saying "but they were kids!" Ik they were. Guess who does all the bullying in schools? KIDS! Also if they were supposed to be good people, then they would've grown out of it. NOT laugh and joke bout it later like it's the most wholesome brotherhood formation ever.

And ALL of this coming from full grown men who hate and punish Nesta for being mean. Assholes

[soanywayimscreaming]

Mor when Feyre is mean to Rhys and Cassian throughout acomaf:

Mor when Nesta gets angry at Cassian for crossing her boundaries: THIS FUCKING BITCH

[silver-flames-of-dusk]

The problem is that Nesta apologizes to others, but no one apologizes to her, to the point that Nesta always feels like she's in the wrong when she's not. That's not healing. This was my mentality after I left my abusive home and it took years of therapy to realize I was not always the one at fault. For example, when it comes to Nesta, she wanted to apologize to Cassian at the end of ACOSF for using their bargain to send him away. She wanted to keep apologizing until she made things right and he smiled again. The problem with classifying this as 'healing" is that Nesta did nothing wrong and had no justifiable reason to apologize. Cassian was the one who was cruel and purposely hurt Nesta's feelings because she wasn't ready to accept the mating bond. This isn't character growth on Nesta's part, but rather a character so completely broken down that she'll apologize for doing nothing wrong, all in an effort to make Cassian happy. That's an abusive relationship grounded in Stockholm Syndrome, in my opinion. Especially considering we don't see any growth from Cassian. He was the one who should have apologized to Nesta in both the Winter Solstice scene and at the Sidra (and literally every other Nessian interaction). Cassian is constantly saying incredibly hurtful and verbally abusive things to Nesta for the sole purpose of hurting her, but he never owns up to it and he never apologizes. He "forgives" her when he was the one in the wrong.

And that's not even getting started on all the hurtful and cruel things the IC say to Nesta to intentionally hurt her feelings. The problem with this narrative and the fandom is the double standard between what Nesta can get away with and what everyone else can get away with.
