Life moves pretty fast...

I'm just an average woman with an imagination that's bursting at the seams

[kanej-supremacy-deactivated2021]

Sarah wrote a nearly 1000 pages book and she couldn’t write Nox’s three lettered name not even just standing there during Aelin’s coronation I’ll be forever pissed at that

[comessbackburningred-deactivate]

Remember that one time Feyre threw a shoe at a guy who could literally just kill her?

And then she threw another shoe at him??? Iconic.

I love angsty Nessian, I love fighting Nessian, I love cold shoulder Nessian.

But most of all I love kissing Nessian. Gimme.

What I actually look like:

Ilysm: I love you so much

Iwhwfhmyfyatyaifiattwwathtwwwi: I would have waited five hundred more years for you. A thousand years. And if this is all the time we were allowed to have… the wait was worth it.

Actual Friendly Reminder

Rhysand literally found the girl of his dreams

[azrieldeservedbetter]

okay now consider this:

Does anyone else wonder what Rhys was doing when Tamlin locked Feyre in that house and she lost it? Can we just take a moment to think about how FAST Rhys must have winnowed to Mor, how quickly he dropped whatever task he was doing, whatever meeting he might have been in…possibly just winnowed to Mor as he was mid-sentence with someone else, in some other land, as soon as he felt that desperation and agony coming from Feyre. How he must have appeared frantic and desperate to Mor, and forced to come up with a plan in a mere matter of a minute or two (it couldn’t have been longer), and how terrified he would have been as she was possibly close to ripping herself to shreds with her powers? 

NOT TO MENTION that Mor specifically says to Alis, “Consider yourselves very, very lucky that your High Lord was not here when we arrived.” AKA Azriel and Casian were likely there as well, at the manor, helping Mor take out the guards. So basically…Rhys had to winnow to all of them, or speak to them in their minds, commanding them to immediately get themselves there to save Feyre. Before Az and Cassian had even met her yet.

SJM WRITE THIS SCENE FOR US PLS

Person: money can’t buy happiness

Fandma Pt 2 (ACOMAF)

It’s my grandma’s birthday today so I just set her up with the audiobook version of ACOMAF for her to listen to as I study for finals. She’s very excited and started listening to it right away. More info to come. 

Fan Grandma Pt 1 (ACOTAR)

[aelin-and-feyre]

Grandma: who’s this high priestess person?

Me, visibly gagging: Ianthe?

Grandma: yeah, she seems like a sucky person, where did she come from?

Me:

[aelin-and-feyre]

After Feyre gave the jewelry to the water wraith, Grandma: I thought Tamlin was going to throw down the gauntlet, he was so mad!

[aelin-and-feyre]

Grandma: Tamlin does know that she’s Fae now, right? She can protect herself.

[aelin-and-feyre]

When he locks her up and she freaks out, Grandma: what the heck just happened? Where’d that darkness come from? What did Feyre do? What?!

[aelin-and-feyre]

Grandma, side eyeing Mor: is she gonna be like Ianthe? Is all those smiles just a pretense? What is she hiding?

Me:

[aelin-and-feyre]

Grandma, hearing about Mor and Amren: ooh, they’re gonna train Feyre to be a warrior aren’t they?

Me *thinking about Cassian’s training techniques and when Azriel was teaching Feyre how to fly*: guess you’ll have to find out

[aelin-and-feyre]

Grandma’s thoughts on Rhys: he’s very mysterious, I think he’s gonna be a good uh but for example when she went the Weaver and he didn’t come to her rescue, I thought ‘what is he doing and why is he having her go through this’ and I though he was kinda stinky, he could’ve told her what was going to happen! So I’m still kinda questioning him but we’ll see. On any turn of a page, he can be such a good guy and then he’s like a light switch to evil! I’m just so confused.

Me:

[aelin-and-feyre]

Fan-Grandma

For my ACOTAR reread, I’m reading the book to my Grandma and her reactions are absolutely priceless. 

[aelin-and-feyre]

Grandma: I can’t believe her family isn’t helping her, they’re so ungrateful.

Me: Yeah, and she’s the youngest of her sisters.

Grandma: Well that’s just ridiculous

[aelin-and-feyre]

“And an enormous, growling shape appeared in the doorway.”

Grandma *covering her eyes*: uh oh….

[aelin-and-feyre]

Papa Archeron: Don’t ever come back Feyre, you go somewhere new—and you make a name for yourself

Grandma: Well, yeah, it’s not like she’s gonna come back and keep taking care of you ungrateful people

[aelin-and-feyre]

Feyre: The thought of those claws pawing through my cloak to find my knife made my mouth go dry

Grandma: this beast guy is a creep

Me:

[aelin-and-feyre]

Lucien: We’re not going to bite

Grandma, laughing: Lucien is such a character… I like him

[aelin-and-feyre]

And then she saw a little bit of my Charlie Bowater blanket and asked: Wait, why do her sisters have pointed ears?

Me:

[aelin-and-feyre]

*Lucien helping Feyre trap the Suriel*

Grandma:

*When the actual Suriel is trapped and described*

Grandma:

[aelin-and-feyre]

Suriel: I know a good many things about the High Lord of the Spring Court

Grandma: I knew it! I knew he couldn’t just be some boring fae beast guy! I’m so proud of myself

[aelin-and-feyre]

Feyre: I thought faeries couldn’t lie

Lucien: Who told you that?

Grandma: oh not good

[aelin-and-feyre]

“He smiled at me still, broadly and without restraint or hesitation. Isaaz had never smiled at me like that. Isaac had never made my breath catch, just a little bit.”

Grandma: oooh, a little romance feelings are coming

[aelin-and-feyre]

“A pale, faceless woman dragging her bloodred nails across my throat, splitting me open bit by bit. She kept asking for my name, but every time I tried to speak, my blood bubbled out of the shallow wounds on my neck, choking me”

Grandma: yuck, is this how it goes for the whole book? gruesome nightmares and encounters with scary creatures who try to kill her?

Me: maybe?

Grandma: Poor girl, she’s only nineteen, sweet thing shouldn’t have to go through this

[aelin-and-feyre]

I swear she almost started crying as the faerie died and Feyre held it’s hand the entire time. It was a sad time. She’s not going to be able to handle any of the other deaths oh no

[aelin-and-feyre]

Grandma *talking about Amarantha*: This she is a little devil. She’s also a bossy little thing too. We gotta find out who she is, give her a stern talking to.

[aelin-and-feyre]

Grandma, when Tamlin starts unbuttoning his shirt at the pool of starlight: Well isn’t he… assuming…

[aelin-and-feyre]

*Tamlin kisses Feyre’s cheeks but is super awkward about it*

Grandma: Okay, so obviously Feyre is attracted to him but I don’t think Tamlin has the ability to like… show feelings. He’s all *deep voice* High Lord gruffness grrr. He’s gotta sort that out before making too many moves on her. Lighten up a bit darling, maybe smile. 

[aelin-and-feyre]

Grandma:

“You know what would be awful? If Tamlin turned out to be an evil guy. ooh that would not be good at all– wait, why are you looking at me like that?”

Me:

[aelin-and-feyre]

She hears about Tamlin’s risque poems he wrote for Feyre and I swear her face:

Scandalized

[aelin-and-feyre]

Grandma: wait. they have soulmates?

Me: ….yes

Grandma: Oh fantastic, I’m excited for this

[aelin-and-feyre]

Grandma, when Tamlin brings up Calanmai for the first time: Does she get to go? Does she have to watch from a window?

Tamlin: You are not invited

Grandma: Oh my goodness, she’s gonna go anyway

[aelin-and-feyre]

Tamlin: There’s a ritual. But it’s… very faerie.

Grandma:

[aelin-and-feyre]

Tamlin *when the attor comes*: Stay hidden, no matter what you overhear, don’t come out

Grandma: What is he saying? Feyre’s nosey! ‘Stay hidden’ yeah, right, she’s not gonna do that! 

[aelin-and-feyre]

WE MADE IT TO CALANMAI AND IT WAS A RIDE

I THINK WE LAUGHED THE ENTIRE TIME

HERE ARE SOME HIGHLIGHTS: 

Grandma, when Feyre decides to follow the drums and go outside:

Grandma, when the three faeries try to lure Feyre away: (she literally has a blanket that she pulled over her face)

Feyre: Standing before me was the most beautiful man I’d ever seen

Grandma, she got so excited:

Grandma, when Lucien explained what happened during the Great Rite: *maniacal laugh* Feyre is not gonna like this hahahaha

So then Tamlin corners Feyre in the hall right? and apparently she is eating a cookie but before she was eating a lemon tart and my grandma says: She dropped her cookie?! Wasteful… although at least it wasn’t the lemon tart, that would have made a mess.

Grandma, when Tamlin bit Feyre’s neck: Well, at least he’s not a vampire!

When Feyre slapped Tamlin:

Grandma at the end of the chapter: Okay, so Tamlin needs to get away from her for a little bit but on a more important note, who was that ‘lethal stranger’ and is he coming back?

My grandma has her priorities straight.

[aelin-and-feyre]

Oh, I forgot something. So, after Lucien brought Feyre back to the Manor, I knew that the stuff with Tamlin was about to happen so I put the book down and tried to warn her that things were going to get a little nsfw

She got so scared! She thought that Feyre was about to go to the cave with Tamlin and I swear her expression was so horrified like

like ‘I don’t want to hear about this, I don’t want to hear about this, I don’t want to hear about this’

I don’t think she likes Tamlin very much lol

[aelin-and-feyre]

I was going to bed and I said, ‘goodnight grandma’ and she replied, ‘goodnight my reader’ and honestly I’m in a really good place right now I’m glad I’m doing this it’s making us both really happy ☺️

[aelin-and-feyre]

We were reading the next chapter and her phone rang so I paused but she went ‘what are you doing’ and I gestured to her phone and she was like ‘no I wanna know what happens, they can call back later’ XD

[aelin-and-feyre]

*descriptions of Feyre’s pig drawing of Tamlin and Lucien*

Grandma:

“PIGS!”

[aelin-and-feyre]

Tamlin: And miss a chance to show off to a beautiful woman? Never.

Grandma: Cute but he’s still a snot.

That’s it. That’s my new nickname for him. Tamlin the Snot.

[aelin-and-feyre]

Tamlin: I want you here, where I can keep an eye on you, where I can come home and know that you are painting and safe

Grandma: That’s not… controlling at all (notice the sarcasm)

[aelin-and-feyre]

Tamlin: All gifts come with a price

Grandma: No they don’t

Feyre: What’s the price for the glamour being lifted?

Tamlin: A kiss

Grandma: She’s not gonna do that! Why would she say yes? She’s not gonna say yes.

Feyre: Fine.

Grandma:

[aelin-and-feyre]

*Feyre, describing how Tamlin looks when the glamour is removed from her eyes*

Grandma: If Tamlin is that pretty now, how gorgeous is that ‘most beautiful person she’s ever seen’?

She is so hung up on Rhys and it is great. She doesn’t give a shit about Tamlin the Snot

[aelin-and-feyre]

*Feyre and Tamlin flirting at the dinner table*

Lucien: I’m trying to eat.

Grandma: Poor Lucien, that’s what you get for being so sassy all the time

[aelin-and-feyre]

Okay, so here’s what happened when Rhys showed up again:

Rhys walks in (I’m doing his voice in a british accent so she knows immediately that it’s him) and Grandma: 

It’s revealed that Rhys is the High Lord of the Night Court, Grandma: 

(for the record, she did figure it out and told me so)

Tamlin and Lucien bow to Rhys, Grandma:

And finally, at the end of the chapter, Grandma, a little grumpy: I knew he was too smooth to be a good guy

[aelin-and-feyre]

Because some of y’all have been wondering, funny story:

So I forgot that there was smut in Chapter 27 of ACOTAR…. And suddenly there it is, Tamlin and Feyre are about to have sex and I’m like…. ‘shit what do I do?’

I looked up at my grandma and I say “So now that have some… fun times and I’m not going to read it out loud.”

And my grandma—get this—my grandma just nods and says, “Okay, just leave the book here and I’ll reread that chapter when you are at school tomorrow.”

And that was that. So I guess that’s how it’s gonna go for ACOMAF too, for people who were curious. 

[aelin-and-feyre]

So she found out everything today. We read the chapter where Alis explains the curse and Amarantha’s backstory with Tamlin and the war.

I finished the chapter and she was just shaking her head like:

And she said: Someone knows how to hold a grudge

[aelin-and-feyre]

OK so we’re in Amarantha’s court and I stg my grandma feels BAD for AMARANTHA!

We finished the chapter and this was her legit speech to me: Poor lady, she’s just lashing out because everyone she’s ever loved is gone and no one loves her and no one is there to take her hand and tell it’s all going to be okay. She’s just angry aw

And I’m over here like: Did we just read the same chapter?

[aelin-and-feyre]

My conversation with my aunt (she’s read the acotar novels as well) when she found out I was reading it to grandma:

Aunt: What are you going to do when you reach the- *suggestive face*?

Me: I’m dealing with it

Aunt: You’re going to give grandma a heart attack! You know we only have four pieces of evidence—(my grandma has four kids)—that grandma knows what that even is!

Me:

[aelin-and-feyre]

Ok we finished. 

first of all, she TOTALLY CALLED IT. When Feyre’s spine snapped, she just said ‘don’t worry she’ll be back—she’ll be back as a faerie’ and I had to keep a straight face and then she was so proud of herself when she was right.

She cried during the killing of the two young Fae and could not handle the other trials. I’m pretty sure she was gripping her pillow so hard it has a permanent imprint on it.

Also, she definitely thought that Rhys was gonna steal Feyre because when they went back to the spring court and the book ended, she asked ‘is that it? I thought there would be more’

Anyway, fan grandma is now officially past book 1 and is going to start book 2 on Monday. She also loves you all and thanks you for all the kind words. <3
