Dorian and others…
I haven’t even been able to read or listen to Throne of Glass yet but I’m already thirsty daydreaming about the guys. I don’t really even know them and yet Instagram said Rowan and Dorian are my soulmates so you know, who am I to argue with a random zodiac post on insta 😂
Seriously though, SJM, please pick the cast already so I can have the graphic audio I pre-ordered 3 YEARS AGO!
Friendship Shipping
Is it just me or do any of yall ever ship two characters so hard platonically? You just want them to be ride or die besties. You want them to get into shenanigans together. You want to see them looking for comfort in each other that isn’t sexual or romantic in any way.
I dunno, that’s just how I feel about Bryce and Hunt. I love them both and I adore them as best friends who are ride or die, shooting the shit, and fucking shit up but I just feel ick about them romantically/sexually.
And then sometimes I friendship ship characters that I also romantically ship. For example: Tamlin and Tarquin I think would be amazing friends and they have similar ideals but if they kissed, I’d be cheering.
I dunno, random thoughts
Tamlin was never actually truly allied with Hybern.
You can hate tamlin all you want but it is literally canon he was never actually working w Hybern. He was ALWAYS using him and playing spy. Here is 3 different passages from canon explaining this.
Lucien-“We were backed into a corner with no options. None. It was either go to war with the Night Court and Hybern, or ally with Hybern, let them try to stir up trouble, and then use that alliance to our own advantage further down the road.”
Tamlin-The mocking, hateful gleam faded into granite resolve. “I stand against Hybern.” “Prove it,” Helion goaded. Tamlin lifted his hand, and a stack of papers appeared on the little table beside his chair. “Charts of armies, ammunition, caches of faebane … Everything carefully gleaned these months.”
Feyre-Tamlin. His actions would cover Jurian’s betrayal. I had no doubt Tamlin hadn’t gone back to Hybern’s army after the meeting to betray us—but to play spy. Though after last night … it was unlikely he’d get close to Hybern again. Not when the king himself had witnessed everything.
And before anyone brings up the sisters…. Tamlin had nothing to do w that. Here is Hybern the villian himself even saying it….
The king nodded. “Why did you think I asked my dear friend Ianthe to see who Feyre Archeron would appreciate having with her for eternity?” Even as horror filled my ears with roaring silence, I glanced at the queens, the question no doubt written on my face. The king explained, “Oh, I asked them first. They deemed it too … uncouth to betray two young, misguided women. Ianthe had no such qualms. Consider it my wedding present for you both,” he added to Tamlin. But Tamlin’s face tightened. “What?” The king cocked his head, savoring every word. “I think the High Priestess was waiting until your return to tell you”
Feyre-I was going to vomit. Tamlin, to his credit, looked like he might, too. Lucien’s face had slackened. “She sold out—she sold out Feyre’s family. To you.” I had told Ianthe everything about my sisters. She had asked. Asked who they were, where they lived. And I had been so stupid, so broken … I had fed her every detail.
Rhysand-But Ianthe betrayed Tamlin—told the king where to find Feyre’s sisters. So the king had Feyre’s sisters brought with the queens—to prove he could make them immortal. He put them in the Cauldron
I’m so tired of these arguments. 3 different characters explain in direct canon Tamlin was a spy. He wasn’t actually working w Hybern. Hate him all you want for how he treated feyre but yall just try to villianize him in every situation.
Villains
Has anyone ever noticed that none of the canonical villains never get mocked?
There’s no insults for Amarantha, King of Hybern, Ianthe, or Koschei who are the main antagonists of the series. Not even Keir or Beron get shit.
Yet everyone in this fandom has a boner for making fun of characters like Tamlin, Rhysand, Lucien, Azriel, Cassian, etc.
None of them are the canonical villains of the story. NONE. OF. THEM.
I swear, this fandom is full of childishness from grown ass adults.
SJM and Bloomsbury
So I’ve read ACOTAR by Sarah J Maas, Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros, and the Beasts of the Briar series by Elizabeth Helen. All 3 authors are having a book come out in October.
Elizabeth Helen has had the title of their book out for MONTHS. This is book 7 and I’ve known the title since book 5! We got the cover for book 7 just before book 6’s release in July!
Rebecca Yarros has recently given us a title, cover, and a basic idea of what her novella is gonna be about in July!
Meanwhile radio silence from SJM and Bloomsbury.
At this point I’m least excited for ACOTAR and have no hope for the storyline.
Elizabeth Helen are constantly posting in Instagram about their books just to keep it fresh in their readers’ minds. Like SJM, they write fated mates romantasy. Sadly the Beasts of the Briar series is coming to an end but for months they’ve been preparing their audience for their next upcoming enemies to lovers series. They’ve told us about what inspired their characters and worldbuilding before the book is even published. We get so much from this author duo! They genuinely feel like they love the books they write and their fans.
SJM and Bloomsbury have disappointed me and many others beyond belief with how little they give their fans and books feel less like passion and more like a cash grab waiting to happen. It’s exhausting hoping for the bare minimum within the Maasverse fandom. We can’t even get a Throne of Glass graphic audio that we’ve pre-ordered 3 YEARS AGO!!!
Do better SJM and Bloomsbury. We are asking for the barest of minimums.

In the real world if a person is a danger to themselves or someone else, then they are locked up. Just consider it Feyre being put on a 72 hour mandatory hold. She was determined to endanger herself and then others would be in danger trying to protect her. She was the one in the wrong here.
"I was about to turn down the hall that led to the study, determined to ask Tamlin if there was any task that I might perform, ready to beg him, when the study doors flung open and Tamlin and Lucien emerged, both heavily armed. "
So, whatever battle they are going into is going to be bad enough that a powerful High Lord needs to be heavily armed on top of his own powers.
"Tamlin’s face was a grim mask as they approached. “There’s activity on the western sea border. I have to go.” The one closest to Hybern."
So, it is an urgent matter of "national" security and he doesn't have time to negotiate with Feyre
“Can I come with you?” I’d never asked it outright, but— Tamlin paused. Lucien continued past, through the open front doors of the house, barely able to hide his wince. “I’m sorry,” Tamlin said, reaching for me. I stepped out of his grip. “It’s too dangerous.” “I know how to remain hidden. Just—take me with you.” “I won’t risk our enemies getting their hands on you.” What enemies? Tell me—tell me something. I stared over his shoulder, toward where Lucien lingered in the gravel beyond the house entrance. No horses. I supposed they weren’t necessary this time, when they were faster without them. But maybe I could keep up. Maybe I’d wait until they left and— “Don’t even think about it,” Tamlin warned. My attention snapped to his face. He growled, “Don’t even try to come after us.” “I can fight,” I tried again. A half-truth. A knack for survival wasn’t the same as trained skill. “Please.”
SO... as the leader he tells her its a time sensitive mission and she keeps on, plans on following, and lies about her skills.
He shook his head, crossing the foyer to the front doors. I followed him, blurting, “There will always be some threat. There will always be some conflict or enemy or something that keeps me in here.” He slowed to a stop just inside the towering oak doors, so lovingly restored after Amarantha’s cronies had trashed them. “You can barely sleep through the night,” he said carefully. I retorted, “Neither can you.” But he just plowed ahead, “You can barely handle being around other people—” “You promised.” My voice cracked. And I didn’t care that I was begging. “I need to get out of this house.” “Have Bron take you and Ianthe on a ride— “I don’t want to go for a ride!” I splayed my arms. “I don’t want to go for a ride, or a picnic, or pick wildflowers. I want to do something. So take me with you.”
Yes, because a trip to battle will soothe her nerves and be better than finding something productive to do at home until he handles the crisis and they can talk about what to do next.
That girl who had needed to be protected, who had craved stability and comfort … she had died Under the Mountain. I had died, and there had been no one to protect me from those horrors before my neck snapped. So I had done it myself. And I would not, could not, yield that part of me that had awoken and transformed Under the Mountain. Tamlin had gotten his powers back, had become whole again—become that protector and provider he wished to be. I was not the human girl who needed coddling and pampering, who wanted luxury and easiness. I didn’t know how to go back to craving those things. To being docile.
I guess you figured out how to be that person again in NC with a giant mansion and servants and slums in Velaris and leaving the people trapped in Hewn. And letting Rhys threaten to kill Nesta, and lie to you about the baby.. huh...
Tamlin’s claws punched out. “Even if I risked it, your untrained abilities render your presence more of a liability than anything.” It was like being hit with stones—so hard I could feel myself cracking. But I lifted my chin and said, “I’m coming along whether you want me to or not.” “No, you aren’t.” He strode right through the door, his claws slashing the air at his sides, and was halfway down the steps before I reached the threshold. Where I slammed into an invisible wall.
Ok, so he tells you its dangerous and that you will put those around you in danger and you still want to go.
I was trapped inside this house. I might as well have been Under the Mountain; I might as well have been inside that cell again—
No, a mansion and in the lap of luxury is really really different than a cell UTM. I mean I get she was panicking but come on...
Tamlin trying his best to support his mentally ill fiancee 💔
Noticing her being overwhelmed UtM after saving everyone and being turned fae, taking her (and himself) away from the emergency High Lords meetings into a spare room to be alone.
Not wanting to stress her out with politics
Trying to cheer her up with hobbies
Dismissing the courtiers (his friends) so she feels more at ease in her own home.
Acknowledging and not judging her symptoms, trying to protect her from it.
Trying to protect her from those who would take advantage of her (unfortunately too late)
It's not always helpful to isolate and avoid discomfort but, my guy is trying so hard. He loves her so much and is doing what he thinks is going to help her heal. (Maybe it's what would help him heal?)
Like he just gets it. The social anxiety, the stress.
He's not perfect and fails and let's his emotions get the better of him (also doesn't help that the narrative is stacked against him) but...I love this kind man. I do think it's all coming from a good place. It's too bad that his relationship was already doomed and it all backfired on him.

House of Wind
I wished I lived in the House of Wind solely because it’s self cleaning. Cleaning my entire house in under 24hr to prepare for my mother visiting while my child chooses to be a terror has been my own slice of Hell. I never want to do this again. 💀

🍻 Cassian in Lunathion would have the best time! Immediately joining the frat pack with Ruhn, Flynn, and Declan. The parties at Ruhn’s place would be Cassian’s element. He’d probably do a kegstand, wings flared and chugging as the crowd cheers. Declan would probably kick his ass in beer pong but Cass would just laugh it off. He would not understand any of the music but dance like an idiot with a beer in his hand. Speaking of beer, he is offended Velaris doesn’t have anything like this. Sure there’s ales and mead back home but for some reason this piss water in a bottle feels cozy when hanging out with the guys. Also somehow, Cassian does not realize the family resemblance between Ruhn and Cormac to Rhysand and Morrigan. Everyone thinks he’s blind.
✨ Cassian would love Bryce and the fact that she is friends with Selena and Nesta makes him adore her more. They’d be immediate chaos buddies. The two of them would probably do shots together and he’d be down to do whatever the girls are planning. Bryce would probably roast him for being a bit of a meathead sometimes in usual Bryce Quinlan fashion. The girls end up using him to hold bags while shopping.
🪽 Brothers from another mother! Hunt and Baxian are instant buddies and Cassian definitely compares wingspans. Hunt shows Cassian the gyms in Lunathion and Cass is in love. The three of them end up sparring and having flying races, arguing over if Illyrians or Angels are faster. Give the three of them have somewhat similar backgrounds growing up poor and basically becoming weapons to survive, an unspoken comraderie forms between the General, Umbra Mortis, and Helhound.
🐺 Ithan ends up becoming someone Cassian likes a lot, almost like a younger brother figure. He calls him “young pup” a lot and ruffles his hair, earning a growl from the wolf shifter. He’ll hang out with Ithan and Tharion, joining in on the chaos they fall into. He enjoys Tharion as a fellow shameless flirt, probably acting as a wingman (pun intended). Cassian knows a thing or two about pissing off powerful women.
🥞 Cassian in Lunathion is just another thing he gets to explore with Selena and that makes his day. He loves her trying to explain the things she’s learned about the world even if he has no idea what she’s saying half the time. When she tried to show him texting, he kept accidentally writing in all caps and would send so many thirst traps/shirtless gym pics thanks to Tharion’s influence. He’d probably accidentally almost start a fire in the kitchen while trying to make her breakfast. He’d fall in love with comfort foods like pizza and burgers. Since Angels exist in this world, he doesn’t have to worry about beds being too small since he’ll be able to find a bed that accommodates his massive Illyrian wings. Oh, and did I mention that Cassian is now a Sunball fan? He found out about Midgardian sports and it’s now one of his favorite things to watch with the guys.
Alex Warren “Ordinary”
I know this song is suppose to be like the unofficial theme song for Fourth Wing from what I’ve observed but every time I hear it, I end up daydreaming about Hunt Athalar from Crescent City and my OC, Selena. Especially when the line “the angels up in the clouds…” hit. I do love this song though.
Crescent City character appreciation weeks
When are these character weeks? I have a ton of characters I love, basically everyone actually, and I wanna appreciate them. When’s the official weeks doing their thing so I can follow?
Crescent City needs more love!
