Someone on tik tok said Amarantha cared more about her sister than e.lain and n.esta did for Feyre and I have not stopped laughing since.

“Feyre is an unreliable narrator and constantly twists things to make herself seem more favorable or right in situations”

Insane thing to say when she constantly has self-deprecating thoughts and has no issue acknowledging when she’s wrong in a situation. She acknowledges that she was wrong for pushing Nesta to tell her story to the High Lords, she acknowledges that she should have been more mindful when it came to Elain’s trauma and the blame shouldn’t all be on Nesta, and she acknowledges that she was a bit of an asshole to Lucien on solstice.

She even takes fault for things that were completely out of her control so again…how is she twisting the narrative to make herself seem always right when she doesn’t even believe she’s always right?

[iocaisaint]

basing off another post I made. I think one of the worst things about some issues surrounding how a good amount of romantasy is written, is the power scaling.

All your main characters are the most powerful people ever but they never use their powers; authors don't even bother to create a dichotomy that makes sense, like using their powers comes at a terrible cost (losing their, hurting themselves, being unable to control themselves)

Nope they just switch between being all powerful and weak as shit whenever the narrative calls for it.

[theladyofbloodshed]

why do they all need to train with swords and arrows if they have the strongest magic ever?

why do none of them imbue those weapons with their magic if they must use a sword?

[high-queen-feyre]

Guys... Why are we still arguing over this?

Feyre on the cottage situation:

"Me, not her, not the others" Feyre has never seen them do anything to help, like ever, everything she does, she learnt from other hunters, like she did hunting itself.

"I'd still do the bulk of it" Feyre's family never did anything cause they grew expectant of Feyre, that 'oh, Feyre would do it.' No one even bothered to listen to her. It has clearly happened a lot for Feyre to not even have faith or hope that her family would help out.

Elain on the cottage situation:

"Feyre gave and gave" This one sentence is so powerful, like her acknowledging how much Feyre sacrificed and gave up for them is what makes Elain want to give back, to not care about their social status that Nesta is clung to.

Elain here validates everything Feyre ever did for them with just one sentence.

Nesta on the cottage situation:

Here Nesta freely admits that Feyre stepped up and did the unthinkable, that she stepped up when their father couldn't, Feyre kept them alive. Here she admits she hated her for it!

It took her Cassian hitting her with words, facts, that she knows to be true, that she realises she's been a disappointment of an elder sister. That she was a coward, that she was selfish, that she would rather DIE than do anything.

Here she admits that she has too much rage and anger and it consumes her, everything she did when they were in that cottage, which consisted of tormenting her father and youngest sister, still haunts her.

Still Feyre antis: YEAH WELL FEYRE COULDN'T HAVE DONE EVERYTHING BY HERSELF!!! Nesta and Elain clearly did work. Feyre is unreliable, she was not parentified.

Like now are all three sisters unreliable at narrating what happened in the cottage?

[acourtofthought]

Cassian slept with Mor because he was jealous that Az no longer seemed to belong to only he and Rhys-

The fallout was disastrous -

Azriel wanted to sleep with Elain because he was jealous over his brothers finding happiness, that they no longer belonged solely to him and they were given something he wasn't -

Rhys simply stopped things due to concerns of another disastrous political fallout the way he had seen with Cassian and Mor hooking up, he prevented a terrible history from repeating itself with two people about to hook up for the wrong reasons.

[unforgivenyunjin]

Rhysand antis have an issue comprehending that he inherited a broken system.

A lot of the things wrong with the Night Court are not things that Rhys implemented himself. He’s not the one that separated Night into three parts, he’s not the one that started wing-clippings with Illyrians, and he’s not the one who banned Hewn citizens from leaving their mountain. These are all things his ancestors decided amongst themselves. And it’s actually not until his rule that we see these things start to change.

You also have to be mindful that he hasn’t been High Lord for 500 years. I’ve seen people say that he’s had 500 years to fix the Night Court and I’m just like…No he has not and where did you get that? He’s 500 years old but he has not spent 500 years as HL. He didn’t come out the womb with a crown on his head. It’s canon that even after the first war Rhys still wasn’t High Lord. And for a while after that when things were settling, he still wasn’t High Lord because he expressed how upset he was at everyone making peace with Amarantha and how it was out of his control.

And also, you have to shave 5 decades off of his rule because of the years he spent in slavery with Amarantha. Rhys has not had all this time to fix a millennium of cultural norms and backwards thinking. We can very much see that he’s tried to with the Illyrians and his time UTM set everything back.

So yeah y’all aren’t being very realistic about his role as High Lord. It’s like people saw his title and that gave them the okay to criticize any and everything about him but y’all aren’t being logical.

[high-queen-feyre]

I'm honestly done with people saying Feyre assaulted LoA...

Let's start with

Beron called 2 r*pe victims "whores", Cassian's mother and Rhysand, Feyre's best friend and her damn mate.

Said so much fucked up shit that Eris actually spoke up or tried to stop him THROUGHOUT the meeting.

Reduced Rhys' assault to "Warming Amarantha's bed" and implied that he enjoyed it.

If someone as young as Tarquin could see why Rhys did what he did, that he was r*ped? Why can't this 500 year old man? But then what else would to expect from a man who assaults and abuses his wife and sons?

SAID, not even implied, SAID that Rhys would get fucked by the king of hybren should things go wrong as if being r*ped is something you chose...

Which brought us to Feyre's understandable response to someone saying your SO chose to get r*ped/ will spread his legs to get r*ped, she set a lash of fire to hurt HIM. TO HURT BERON.

It was Beron who deflected the fire on Eris and LoA, it was Beron who hurt his son and wife. Not Feyre, BERON. Because it was deserved for Beron to get hurt for saying the shit he did.

Then Feyre even apologised to LoA, for something that wasn't even her fault

But ok, ig Feyre assaulted LoA... And totally not the fact that Beron is a pussy who can't take what he deserves.

[acourtofthought]

A guy being ready to get down on his knees to taste a girl after avoiding her for months, not bothering to be a shoulder she could lean on during her struggles with her sister, is not the flex some think it is.

Cassian would have been at Nesta's doorstep in a heartbeat if she let him, lust be damned. He wanted her but he wanted her time and attention even more.

Same with Lucien for Elain.

Az had full access to Elain's doorstep and chose to stay away. Just like he stayed away during her depression in ACOWAR, going so far as to drawing straws so he wouldn't have to stay with her.

In SF, he heard of her first fight with Nesta. Witnessed her second fight with Nesta. Heard her speak of how she still had trauma. Heard her offer to reacquaint herself with her powers and through all that he just decided... "meh, I can't handle being around her because of her bond." 😡

All he chose to offer her in SF was a charged look and if one were to read the bonus, a one night stand. Oh and a necklace....because jewelry is so much more important than quality time. 🤦

It doesn't matter that he took her to the garden after Lucien first told them to "take her to some garden" but was prevented from doing so himself because of her sisters.

It doesn't matter that he offered to get her from Hybern after Cassian first said they'd get her back but could not due to his injuries.

It doesn't matter that he offered her TT after Cassian first offered her a dagger, with Elain rejecting both until Feyre reassured her that she wouldn't have to use it.

It doesn't matter that he sat listening to Elain talk about her gardens on Solstice in ACOFAS (go Az, the first original thing you ever did for Elain!)

It especially doesn't matter that he "was the first to realize Elain was missing" after she was kidnapped by the Cauldron because he didn't. Nesta did because Nesta went running to her tent while Az just stood there (if he thought she was missing why didn't he check her tent?) Az only asked whether Elain could hear the Cauldron the way Feyre, Amren and Nesta could.

None of it matters because Azriel has not done a damn thing to support Elain in the 12 months since.

Insulting Gwynriel because there was no evidence of Az wanting to "taste her" in SF isn't the gotcha some think it is. It's called respect, the author choosing to have him get to know her as a person instead of only thinking of her as a sexual object and THAT is a hell of a lot more romantic than that bonus chapter was. Just like feeling something spark in his chest at the thought of Gwyn's happiness is the epitome of romance. Tell me you'd be fine with your love interest feeling something spark in his chest at the thought of another female's happiness and I'd show you a liar.

Az didn't respond in a mate like way during the Rite? Rowan watched Aelin nearly die multiple times before he realized she was his.

Are these really the arguments that are supposed to prove e/riel?

When Sarah talks about Josh being her soulmate, she's talking about the ways that he supports her even when she's at her worst, not the ways he lusts for her.

Me seeing people fighting to decide who would be the ruler of the dusk court when sjm purposely wrote that said court being ruled by Rhys' ancestors, placing that said court in his territory and having that said court literally connected to his blood:

I thought is was obvious that sjm was planning the high king and high queen plot for Feysand since the first time this topic was mentioned? You know, the most powerful high lord of prythian? The woman who is connected with the seven courts, have all the seven high lords powers? The fmc and mmc of the acotar saga?

Anyway...

The denial is only going to hurt y'all.

[colorlesschristmastree]

“feyre’s an unreliable narrator because she says things that are blatantly untrue!!” and all of their examples are things they personally disagree with.

Yes Feyre’s narration is influenced by her personal opinion and perspective but acting like she’s lied about things is genuinely weird. You might disagree with her opinion on another characters behavior but that doesn’t make her a liar.

[unforgivenyunjin]

Friendly reminder that whilst in the Spring Court Feyre was a constant victim of severe panic attacks that everyone, including her fiancé, ignored.

The last panic attack she had there being so bad that another court had to intervene before she seriously harmed herself and the people around her.

And again, no one in the Spring Court really cared.

[unforgivenyunjin]

An action that’s repeated for years is a decision, not a mistake.

Nesta mistreating Feyre was a conscious decision. Not a mistake.

[unforgivenyunjin]

Nesta fans complaining about how much hate towards her hurts them because they relate to her so much is insane considering they’re the reason she gets 90% of the hate she does.

The toxicity from Nesta’s fandom comes from the fact that they see themselves as her and therefore take any critical opinion of her as a personal offense. What they don’t realize is that criticism becomes hate when you insult the people it’s coming from by acting like your opinions are more valid than theirs.

You are not Nesta. You made relate to her a lot but you are not her. Negative words about her are not negative words against you. Please understand that and start acting accordingly.

[stargirlfeyre]

Not tiktok discovering Rhysta shippers

“Nesta fans are just like her because they relate to needing psychological help” I mean you said it not me.

[azrielsfavoriteshadow]

So E/riels believe Elain is self harming, but the reason that she is doing it…… is so that she can match scarred hands with Azriel???

I’ve seen it all after this.

Azriel’s hands were set on fire. In what universe is it romantic for her to self harm in order to scar her hands to match with a man?

Wild. Truly.

[amchapel]

something about Nesta being compared to an Illyrian. And something about Illyrian females getting their wings clipped in the most obvious form of gender-based oppression and violence.
