A review called it throne of glass in the modern world and that’s what it is. Literally. I will not spoil more on that. If you want more dm me.

All of sj/m’s protagonists when the (inevitable) crossover book happens:

👏all👏her👏protagonists👏are👏the👏same👏

So um, you’re the only other MENA person I know on this site, and I don’t want to be controversial or anything but, did you see what happened to Qasem Soleimani? Do you have any thoughts on that? You don’t have to answer if you don’t want to.

That was horrible (not to mention a literal war crime but I guess we’re fine with those now) and had me depressed for a WHOLE week I wasn’t in the WW3 frenzy or anything but because of other reasons

I can’t wait for the orange bastard to be out of office 

[localbooktrash]

Did you know that there’s actually a blog on here called rhysand-is-daddy

I KNOW LMAO i think i’m blocked by them

thank god tho

I’m still so furious about the cultural appropriation? I mean fairy’s tattoos, hmmm were have I seen that design before *looks down at my henna covered hands* and then Rice Krispies gets one to match? And she uses it as a part of their creepy ass deal were he uses it to spy on her? Okay Janet 👌🏾

DEADASS HAHA 

She could have JUST kept the eye on her palm

it would have made sense (for the spying part) and it would have been hidden and it would have been more menacing

But she HAD to add “swirls” because that’s aesthetic and thats the only thing Sarah cares about 

[localbooktrash]

okay so some days ago I saw a girl explaining why she thought rice and feyruh’s relationship was toxic. Mess’ fandom was answering her with memes while she was actually using coherent arguments, and they thought she was crazy. Half of book twitter went nuts and then made a fake acc for the girl while harassing her. That’s why I hate exposing my opinion. They don’t have good arguments and they attack you instead of listening.

ON GOD THEY HUNT YOU LIKE A WITCH IF YOU SAY ANYTHING BAD ABOUT THEM IN THEIR PRESENCE

they kinda be terrifying like that

and imagine how bad those kids must feel that want to genuinely just criticize the book and are too scared to come forward

[localbooktrash]

I’m enjoying to read your blog a lot. I’m a 16 year old Brazilian girl and I’ve been reading sjm and other authors. Reading your blog made me realize the problematic aspects of certain books and now I feel like I’m way more conscious of the lack of representation (I realized how I, as a latina and bisexual girl, can’t relate to a lot of characters). Reading what you say about books makes me develop my critical thinking and I’m really thankful for this.

Awww darling i’m so glad to hear this!!

From what I read you seem like a bright, intelligent girl but I’ll still say so just in case

Although I’m glad you see these problematic aspects and develop critical thinking while reading new books it’s okay to still like some aspects about them, if not have nostalgic feelings for certain things. 

The key is to understand that there’s problematic aspects to it and know why they are problematic 

which I know you’re doing now! 

[localbooktrash]

what do you think about manon blackbeak?

I loved her in Q0S 

I was halfway through E0S but i barely remember if she did anything useful, important, impactful

and also I heard that she basically becomes Dorians sexdoll so i’m not feeling too fruity 😔

[localbooktrash]

Nesta is depressed AND has ptsd. Why can’t people stop treating feyr* like a saint for sending her own SISTER away for literally being DEPRESSED. I love Nesta sm and I wish people would stop hating on her. She was the only one who did something for feyr* when she went missing, she was taken against her will to prythi*n and when she was struggling feyr* practically made her go to that fucking party with her friends during ac0fas. friends who Nesta made clear she didn’t want to meet.

Bro whats up with Sarah’s weird treatment of depressed people????Dorian was depressed and Aelin wanted to kill him off

Nesta is depressed and Feyre sends her away

it’s almost as if it’s a nuisance and bothersome and doesn’t matter to her unless it’s her main characters, having depression for the angst and sad aesthetic 

[localbooktrash]

I’m reading t0g bc I like some of the characters (like two of them) but I get really annoyed by some things. r0wan literally told alien it’d be better if she had died and aedi0n called lys*ndra a bitch for no reason??? I hate them both

the feminist book series we needed 🥴

[localbooktrash]

I really liked sorscha and dorian together, but then sjm had to brutally murder yet again another poc character for the “growth” of a white one. She did the same thing with nehemia.

She was literally BEHEADED so Dorian could have a depressed episode

Like what’s up with Sarah and having the POC brutally mutilated????I don’t wanna shout racist but doesn’t that seem off to anyone else lmao 

[localbooktrash]

remever that part in QOS when alien freed Lysandra from her dept so she didn't have to be a straight up sex slave anymore. and then alien preceded to make jokes about 'how she looks ugly when she cries' because she thought it was impossible for her to look ugly like????? this isn't the right fucking moment fuck off

Imagine someone has a MOMENT and you VIOLENTLY insert yourself in there because god forbid the spotlight isn’t on you for half a second

None of us decent human beings can relate 

[localbooktrash]

If you could choose any one character from acotar, who would it be and why?

To do what with exactly?

To kick in the face? Rhys/and because he’s a pos that deserves it

To take out of that world and into one where they are appreciated and treated right? Tarquin and Nesta

because they’re the only ones that are either fleshed out as a character, don’t kiss up to Failsands asses or are sympathetic

[localbooktrash]

any reccs. for good ME inspired fic?

I’ve heard The Wrath and The Dawn is really good (haven’t read it myself yet) 

I’m cautious when it comes to ME fiction (especially ya) because it’s often like VERY often written by white people and there’s a risk of it being borderline racist and fetishizing 

[localbooktrash]

My 15 yr old sister came to me and asked me to read or investigate books she wanted to read, something like putting parental control, because she and her friends (other 15-year-old girls) are tired of finding mature stuff in YA and I understand, at their age I felt uncomfortable with some things, but even now that I'm 23 years old I find some scenes too problematic. Mainly because they are toxic relationships, non-positive, pages and pages of a sex scene that does not help the plot.

I’m glad your sister thinks like that and comes to you for help!I didn’t think that far when I was her age lol so I was exposed to some dumb shit 

which I at that time of course loved and even now have some nostalgic feelings for but I see the problems in said writing and stories now

And i’m pretty sure whatever bad was in those books shaped and contributed to my teenage opinion on the world and relationships (raise your hand if you were into useless brooding absuvie men because they had that bad boy flair 🥴)I guess we are in that time where the books are just slowly starting to get better so we’ll have to be patient because a lot of books and authors are still gonna use these useless, problematic tropes
