To The Stars That Listen

“You are my salvation, Feyre.”

[highladyelenna]

Feyre: *screaming because she’s stuck in the weavers chimney*

Rhys: Huh.. *resumes carving his and feyres intials in a tree*

[highladyelenna]

y’all are making me scared to write my novel. my enemies to lovers would make y’all GAG lmao.

“Rhys wasn’t raped”

“Rhys wasn’t raped”

“Rhys wasn’t raped”

“Rhys wasn’t raped”

“Rhys wasn’t raped”

Rape is both emotional and physical abuse and anything that is not 100% consent is rape. Being forced to have sex with someone out of fear is rape. Being forced to have sex with someone for “benefits” such as going outside is rape. Being forced to have sex with someone to prove your loyalty to them is rape.

If you’re put in any sexual situation where you are forced to do things and not because you genuinely want to, that is rape. Rhys did not 100% consent to his “relationship” (if you could even call it that) with Amarantha. He literally talks about how he was suicidal for a while because of what was happening to him Under The Mountain but it was all consensual? He was just a sex worker?

Two of the most ridiculous points this person makes is one, saying rape isn’t emotional abuse. And two, insinuating that being a “sex worker” made everything that happened to Rhys completely fine.

Sex workers are taken advantage of all the time. That’s one of the most dangerous parts of it. Being a sex worker does not always equal to consenting to everything you do. It’s not this glamorous job where you’re just consenting to everything and having sex for the fun of it. Therefore slapping the term “sex worker” onto Rhys as a way to invalidate his decades of sexual abuse is nothing short of demented.

And rape is most definitely emotions abuse. A lot of the time rape is used to control someone as seen with Amarantha and Rhys. She wanted to punish him because his father killed her friend and she wanted to prove his loyalty to her. It was literally about breaking him down and that’s why he still has trauma from it. You can’t look at the mental scars Rhys has because of Amarantha and boldly claim that wasn’t rape. You can’t read him clearly saying “she made me fuck her” and boldly claim that it wasn’t rape.

This person is not a child so there’s no valid excuse for this mentality. It’s just blatant vile ignorance and a nasty soul.

[highladyelenna]

hey fun fact: sex workers can be raped mainly because they do not have a choice because they are “pimped out” if they stop they will get beaten/killed. there for they have not given consent.

people like that person make me sickkkkkkkkkkkk.

[highladyelenna]

Y’all imagining Feyre as a frail weak human in the first book..like yes she wasn’t healthy but that bitch would carry DEER on her back. You know how big deer are? Deer thag total your car when you crash into them? Deer that are what 3x the size of your average house dog???

She’d carry those fuckers on her back through the woods and to her cottage. Like????

[highladyelenna]

Nesta stan’s getting mad at an artist for drawing Feyre putting eyeliner on with a knife as her guide, saying “Nesta is more likely to do this” like SHUT UPPPP ALREADY fucks sake.

sorry you can’t gaslight and guilt trip me into feeling bad for you shipping a newborn baby with a 500 year old grown man.

and yes, I also hate that Twilight has this trope.

just because one shitty person thought “hey let me do this in my book” does not make it okay nor..normal to think “let me ship this new born baby that’s fresh out the womb with his mothers abuser who’s 500 times his age.”

i’ll be a “pearl clutching pea brained canon obsessed” whatever the fuck was said and whatever you wanna call me over thinking “yeah that’s normal fandom behavior” any day of the week lol.

idk how many mental hoops you had to jump through to make yourself the victim in this scenario, but seriously i think it’s time to log off and take a break.

[highladyelenna]

do you think rhys has scars in his stomach/chest/back? I training drawing and would like to do him next maybe (yet the tattos might make me push away and put someone else in place 😭😭😭😭)

i believe he must have some scars. 500 years, two wars, 50 years UTM. there’s bound to be scars, possibly his tattoos could cover most of them. i believe he also has scars on his wings from the ash bolts.

ik it might not be canon but in my head he does :)

[highladyelenna]

not funking Nyxlin week ewwwww that's a baby.... Even in the art they have him as a baby, then again, these are the same people who bully anyone who doesn't like Tamlin and think Amarantha was so badass for r*ping Rhys.

i’m sorrry….NYXLIN IS A THING???

holy..shit

[maevecrom-deactivated20240821]

With little to no consideration, I have decided to leave the ACOTAR community :)

I left for a couple of weeks because the frustration and anger from all sides was so overwhelming; and then I come back and I have people saying rocks are banging in my head and shaming commissioners because I stated an art piece would've been better included under a different theme. Not to mention the insane amount of sexists, victim blamers, abuse apologists, and ableists present in the community every day.

I will not be answering the rest of my asks regarding this fandom or these books and I'll be moving onto other series entirely.

I might still draw for the fandom but separated from this app entirely. My commission for feysand week will still be posted along with my art for erisweek, but after that I am done.

Thanks for those of you who have become my friends and made this experience magical ( @highladyelenna, @littlest-w01f, @dusk-muse, @thecatsaesthetics, @wingsdippedingold, @colorlesschristmastree, @nicolemabes, @berryzxx, @nikachansstuff I love all of you <33)

Much love,

maevecrom <33

HELL YEAH ACOTAR FANDOM! WE GOT RID OF ONE OF THE MOST UNBAISED PEOPLE OF THIS PLACE! GO US!

Go on. Send more hate... Who even cares anymore? I mean we already got some good artist out cause people couldn't handle them drawing a ship they didn't like so those poor artists were doxxed into saying they won't draw acotar anymore.

Let's just get rid of opinions as a whole. So we're all just a hive mind. I mean you say one thing a very specific person doesn't like suddenly you're not human and deserved to be bashed, bullied, redeculed off.

"I like this character how dare you not like them they same way I do you dumb fucking bitch!!"

"If you don't like this character you've never suffered trauma before!!"

Also let's just get rid of boundaries and bully everyone! ISN'T THAT OUR FANDOM FUN!!?

People tried to "over throw"/"takeover" Rhys week last year... This year they did the same to Elain Week till the Mods shut down from all the bullying. And didn't even accept anon asks or messages.

Someone's threatened a person that they would out them to their parents cause they dug up their private stuff over an opinion they didn't like. How would that feel to you knowing you could not having a safe space anymore cause someone didn't like what you said about a fictional character?

@highladyelenna has been told she's a r*pist/pedo for liking Rhysand

@careblairxoxo has been told she probably didn't suffer any trauma/that she is weak for not sticking by her abuser.

I have been told I am two-faced for not liking character A as much as I like character B in those darling anon hates. Or how dare I like character A along with some very uncreative insults.

And there might be so many more but these are ones I have seen with my own eyes.

This is fiction! You are insulting people over something that doesn't even exist! You hurt real people over what doesn't even exist! How fun is that!

Go little keyboard warriors! Go send that one person a hate anon today, how dare they have an opinion on their own blog! And don't forget to send someone on the other side of the ship war a death or r*pe threat!

HONESTLY FUCK THIS SHIT. You can't exist with an opinion without someone berating you here...

There was no need for how this blew up, you already deleted the post since it didn't land the way you thought it would, it should've been over there, but hey, what's ever stopped hate anons?

I'm so sorry people bullied you off maeve, you didn't deserve having to deactivate your own account for a little peace 🫂💕

[highladyelenna]

Ugh, this fandom is the most draining fandom i’ve ever been apart of.

Maeve, you were one of the first people I started talking to when I rejoined tumble for this fandom, and I was utterly disappointed when I realized not everyone was as kind and sweet and thoughtful as you are. I’m glad we found our little bubble of amazing people who stick up and stand up for us who get shamed for..basically anything that isn’t Anti IC.

I’m so sorry you’re going through this. Bullying in 2024 is just embarrassing at this point. These 30+ year olds really need to get a better grip on reality. I’m glad you are doing what you need to do to better your mental health.

Love you so so so much.

I love all my mutuals and friends that i’ve made along the way. You all are the sweetest people ever.

[highladyelenna]

I bought this Celtic Tales book, this was the first page.

[highladyelenna]

sjm: a real person with real views that i don’t like

rhysand: a fictional character with no real views that i do like

it’s quite easy

[highladyelenna]

I knew the It Ends With Us movie was just gonna cause drama but wow. CoHo managed to take down Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively with her😭💀💀

Anyways, I hope Justin is doing amazing and I hope he knows we aren’t letting them pull the wool over our eyes.

[highladyelenna]

how off base would i be if i made Cassian Calcifer in my Feysand x Howls moving castle fic ???💀💀

[highladyelenna]

Feyres an unreliable narrator until it’s “I was just as bad as her” or “My paintings aren’t that great” or “I wasn’t the prettiest” or “I wasn’t the strongest”

She’s unreliable until she’s self deprecating herself right?

[highladyelenna]

If I was a 17 year old girl being forced to marry a man when I’m a closeted bi-sexual with a preference to women I would absolutely hate that man. If that man left me to die on a border, giving me freedom in his eyes or not, he left me there to die. I’d hate him.

He’s forever apart of that traumatic event and nothing will ever change that. Every time he comes around that event plays over and over again.

Y’all need to get that through your heads.

[highladyelenna]

there’s gotta be a way i can claim some sort of compensation for the arguing done in my comments. 90 comments and i don’t get a penny??? pls😭

[highladyelenna]

y’all really blowing up my comments with novels over an event you didn’t even create? 💀💀
