“I asked chatgpt.” Oh yeah, well I asked Todd Anderson and Neil Perry and they said:

“I can take care of myself just fine!”

“No.”

“What do you mean no?”

“No.”

Whatever the hell that means. Anyway, happy pride month :)

you know what love is? it creeps up on you unexpectedly, and once you're in, it doesn't creep out. it stays, carving a part into your heart with a sharp edged knife, so that even in loss, you remember what it is like to love, because that part of you will never come back.

[teachme-daddy]

so, story time. hi guys. ill tell you my story truthfully, and ill start at the very beginning. pretty sure no one is reading this crap, but i have to tell someone.

where im from, school goes on till the tenth grade, and then you go to junior college. so, after getting out of school, which was hellish for me, i decided that my life path was medicine, and instead of going to a full time junior college, i went to an integrated one, which means, you go to extra classes instead of your jc lectures, and that attendance gets counted. when it was my first day of class, i and my friend from school, lets call her k, met the strictest man ever in the first lecture, who told us that discipline was the only thing that would get us to our goal in life. he was probably the best man who could ever teach you chemistry. the second lecture was a biology one by a man, who was so mellow, but goal oriented, saying that everyday striving would get us where we wanted to be.

the third lecture for physics was taken by a man i paid no attention to, after my brain was grilled early on. and my friend leaving, because she took different classes, made things lonely. and the goofy man walks in class and plays an app that tells you the age of your ears by what sounds you can hear. i probably very visibly rolled my eyes and daydreamt. and i forgot about the man totally.

a few days later, we had a school graduation for people from our school classes, where another girl who attended the integrated classes with me was also present, called a, along with my friend k. and she walked upto me and said, what did you think of class, and i told her that it was nice. she then asked, what did you think of the heavily bearded man, and i couldn't for the love of me remember who it was. and then she said, he was the big man who taught physics, but i still blanked out. she told me his name was r. i couldn't remember him. i just couldn't.

i waited an entire week before i could meet the man. and when he walked in, i paid attention. he was smart and funny and so talented. and then i facebook stalked him, obviously. and came to know my old friend v knew him, so i checked up on the man. and i got a great review from v, and i was hooked. i wanted to know more about this man who got thrown into my life, one who i never would have otherwise noticed, and started falling in love with him.

I need everyone to know that I relate to each of the Poets on insanely deep level

Neil: I am a raging theater kid with the intense pressure of academic expectations

Todd: I am the youngest of 2 and I feel like my achievements will always be lesser than my brother's (plus I have social anxiety)

Meeks: I'm constantly in service to people, even my closest friends, I am the smartest in my friend group, I enjoy math and science and languages

Cameron: I have a lot of pressure put on me to not disappoint my parents, my main goal in life is to make my dad proud, no matter what, I have kinda always been a bit of a kiss ass toward authority figures

Charlie: I have a strong need to protect my friends, to the point of fault, I have walls up to protect myself from getting hurt, even walls my closest friends aren't allowed to see through

Knox: All I want is someone to love me how I love them, I am a hopeless romantic through and through

Pitts: I am often ignored and pushed aside, even by those close to me

Each of them is a part of me and there is a part of me in each of them. While I am no Poet as a whole, I find parts of myself looking back at me every time I watch DPS

you know what its like to feel trapped in your life, not being able to think, to breathe? getting suffocated second by second, and seeing yourself be suffocated but being unable to do anything to get out of it, even though you know youre being suffocated. an egomaniac trying to control your life, and its not like he didn't try. he tried for the annual and got snuffed out so badly. he tried to fight, but it yielded nothing. i feel for neil, i really do. being trapped like that and feeling your cage closing in around you, until it will entomb you alive? im too much of a coward to do what he did, the fear of what comes after too much, but i get why he did it. he chose not to be trapped, to free himself the only way he knew how, to never be suppressed again by the people he loves, who were the one to put him in a cage. so much guilt and love for the same people who are supposed to love you unconditionally, only to be crushed under the weight of their expectations. just saying, i get it. id do the same.

People will always try to scare you into things. Scare you away from things. Scare you into not wanting things you can’t help wanting. You can’t be afraid.

“The marriage between the second daughter of King Viserys I and his own brother, Prince Daemon, raised eyebrows upon its first announcement. Many assumed the match would echo the Rogue Prince’s unfortunate first union with the late Lady Rhea, despite his wish for a Valyrian bride being, finally, fulfilled. It surprised all who took witness to see the intensity of Daemon’s devotion to his second wife, a regard that would persist through a long and happy union between uncle and niece.”

I wonder what it's like to touch him, hug him, rest my head on his chest, hold hands, feel his breath on my neck, feel his stubble on my cheek, feel his body vibrate when he laughs, wear his clothes, wear something he bought for me, see him wear something I bought for him, hear him whisper in my ear, hear him call for me, share a drink or food with him, have long and deep conversations with him, share secrets with each other, have cute dates and visit beautiful places, have lazy cuddle dates at home, go on little adventures together, solve problems together and support each other, surprise each other with little gifts sometimes, care for each other when the other one's sick or exhausted,

Ok, so would anyone in the ToG fandom be so kind to explain to me with plenty of details how Sam Cortland died? The Assassin's Blade is not available in my country under any form...

[acotarian]

I can’t do it, I’ll start having flashbacks and crying maybe some hyperventilating… but will someone else please explain to this sweet summer child what happened to Sam Cortland

[onewildandpreciouslfe]

Okay, I am going to attempt to do this without crying and as best as I can remember as its been over a year since I have read the Assassin’s Blade. So, Sam Cortland whose mother worked for Clarisse I believe, gave her son to Arobynn because she thought that was best. So the Assassin’s Blade picks up with Celaena and Sam double crossing a pirate lord and overall betraying Arobynn’s orders, but being amazing heroes and saving 500 slaves. But this lost Arobynn money and Sam tried to take the blame. But Arobynn, knowing it was Celaena’s ideas makes her watch while him and the rest of the guild abuse Sam. Once Sam is unconscious the same abuse occurs with Celaena.

The second novella picks up, where for punishment for the earlier deed, Celaena is sent to the red desert by herself to train with the silent assassins. On her way she meets a healer and helps her out then in the third novella we finally get to the desert. Basically some stuff goes down the was very action packed but I can’t really remember except there was a betrayal. Nothing here really has to do with Sam.

When we get back to Rifthold, all the money Celaena has been saving goes in to buying her and Sam an apartment. This part was great because Celaena explains how much thought went into picking the location and it was really sweet and it made me cry because I knew lots of stuff was about to go down.

If I remember correctly, to pay off Sam and Celaena’s debt to the guild they we both going to go on this complex assignment to kill the crime lord of Rifthold Jayne and his second Farran. But, this job was given to them by Arobynn and was a trap. When Sam and Celaena where supposed to meet up Sam was late and Celaena went after him. Celaena kills Jayne, but that was exactly what Farran and Arobynn wanted. Celaena finds out Sam has been dead for hours and was tortured and she kinda freaks out. Which is completely okay, but by this time I was crying my eyes out. Through this Celaena is sent to Endovier. This is now 9 months before Throne of Glass begins.

I hope this helps, I might have missed some details and/or gotten some stuff wrong but this is the very sad basics of how the lovely Sam Cortland is no longer with us.

P.S. I am definitely crying

[rhysand-you-smooth-fucker]

@onewildandpreciouslfe wow you did a much better job at summarizing than I did

[aneverfixedmarkk]

Then she hears the other assassins talking outside her door about going after Farran and she decides to go with them - but they’ve locked her door so she decides to go out the window on her own. This is exactly what they wanted. She runs into Wesley as she’s sneaking out…

But she goes after them anyways. She kills Jayne, but this is a trap Arobynn and Farran have plotted together. She kills Jayne and Farran is the unimpeded Crime Lord. He takes her and gives her to the king. Arobynn expected them to sentence her to death but she is carted off to Endovier instead, and he decides that’s just dandy. 

His death should have been worse.

[rowanaelinn]

Yeah let’s normalise violence 🙄 Aelin became “good” only after she named herself Aelin again. But before that, when she was still Celaena, she was a horrible person, as almost everyone in the books who knew her before said. So please stop portraying her as a “Good Queen who does no wrong”. She’s an interesting character with her own flaws, but she has lots of them.

Celaena the bad woman who freed slaves and got herself tortured for it

Celaena the bad woman who spared the life of a traitor and helped protecting another team of assassins

Celaena the bad woman who put her place in the competition at risk to help a man when she could have saved her ass and it would have helped her in the competition to get rid of Nox

Celaena the bad woman who found it in herself to love the son of the man who killer her family and to love his captain of the guard

Celaena, the bad woman, who refused to kill the king’s target and put herself and the people she loved in danger every time she let them live

Celaeana, the bad woman, who refused to kill Galan Ashryver because she had hopes he would save the world even if he didn’t come to her help when her country was destroyed

Celaena, the bad woman, who put herself in danger to save Luca and then begged on her knees for forgiveness because she said one mean thing

Celaena, the bad woman, who almost died trying to save demi-Faes in Mistward when she had people to come back to

Celaena, the bad woman, who couldn’t stand to see the man she loved being whipped in front of her and chose to save him instead of securing an alliance with a monster.

Sam saw the good in her. Dorian saw the good in her. Rowan saw the good in her. Ansel saw the good in her. Ilias saw the good in her. Nehemia saw the good in her. Nox saw the good in her. The only person who didn’t was Chaol, and I wouldn’t take his word on anything when he walked into a slave camp and didn’t care a single bit

Aelin has a lot of flaws I never saw anyone denying it. She is hot-headed, secretive to a fault, and many other things.

But if there is one thing that will never describe Aelin Whitethorn Galathynius is evil. Because she didn’t put herself at risks so many times to save a world that hated her for you to call her evil.

[kaleidoscopicsilverstar]

This. I know right. I love this. Perfect Chaol bash and Aelin/Celaena support. The truth is, she is a badass queen and a good person, flawed, but not bad. And always carrying the weight of the world, but always still trying to do the right thing, even with all that pressure, and no matter what situation. That is the one absolute truth.

"Silver and Blue, I'm a tide with no moon

And I'm so lost, without you

I don't know where to go, without you"

Life is too cruel, if we cease to believe in love, why would we want to live?
