It amazes me how Mor violated Nesta's personal space and boundaries and bodily autonomy by getting all handsy with her dress without Nesta's consent, and then she turned around and played the victim. Getting all handsy with a stranger is not okay. Getting all handsy with a stranger who was just tortured and violated mere months after being sexually assaulted is unforgivably wrong. Nesta could have punched Mor in her face, and she would have been 100% justified.
Mor should just be dumped back in the CoN because she would thrive there. Neither her nor the males there believe in consent. Mor doesn't deserve the benefit of the doubt that good people like Nesta give her.
I still can’t believe the ACOTAR fandom & it’s characters (Feyre, Rhysand & the Inner circle) has gotten to a point where they believe that 14yrs old is too young to hunt but 14yrs old is old enough to make the decision to be forced & groomed into seducing older grown ass men…
17yrs old is too young to be forced into an arranged marriage but 17yrs old is old enough to be parentified…to two other children & a grown ass adult man who was also their father…
A little over a year is too long to process being kidnapped from your home, killed, remade & then reborn, watch your younger sister wither, be forced into a war, watch your father get killed right in front of your eyes, watch your now mate guts be damn near torn from his body, the enemy nearly kill you both, so on & so forth but 10yrs consistently crashing out over the death of your mother?…no problem. Nearly 540yrs being & still clinging onto something that happened 523yrs ago??…no problem.
I cannot ever begin to take any part of the other side of the fandom even remotely serious when they continue to dog on Nesta for shit they let their faves get away with.
feyre does this thing with people that kinda frustrates me where she obviously has difficult feelings for them but she doesn't want to *completely* cut them off so they're always kinda dangling there, just a breath away from her. she does it with Lucien and she does it with Nesta
Feyre invites Lucien to the parties and he shows up. Everyone keeps giving him attitude and the cold shoulder but then Feyre gets jealous when Lucien would rather be with Vassa and Jurien and then mocks their little nickname when the ✨️Court of Dreamers✨️ isn't much better
and then with Nesta she gives such bare minimum attention to her, and obviously wants some kind of relationship with Nesta but it has to be on Her terms. its within feyres right to not have a relationship with her, or to cut her off. but she doesn't do either
she bribes invites her to things where Nesta obviously is unhappy there and then everyone else is prickly around Nesta so naturally, of course, Nesta doesn't want to be there. She wants a relationship with Nesta but then she doesn't paint Nesta. She wants a relationship, but it's on her terms. She now gets to decide where Nesta lives, where she works, where she eats but then she also doesn't protect her sisters from the ICs snarky comments
Idk it's just so grating with how Feyre fosters and navigates relationships.
Cassian: You don't like the bedroom in the House that we're sleeping in? Okay, we can sleep elsewhere, Nes 🥰
Nesta: No, I want to leave the Night Court.
Cassian: You don't like living in the House anymore? We can get a place in Velaris, if you would like 😍
Nesta: No, I want to leave the Night Court.
Cassian: You want to get a place outside Velaris? That's fine, I suppose. We can always live in Illyria, if you want 😘
Nesta: No, I want to leave the Night Court.
Cassian: I really don't understand what you're trying to say, Nesta. You don't like it here? Couldn't you have given me some forewarning that you were unhappy?
Just an observation: on the male dominated websites (Reddit, YouTube, Twitter) Kataang is the most popular ship. On the female dominated websites (Tiktok, Tumblr, AO3) Zutara is the most popular ship.
I am so fucking scared. I feel that... you know it's not about death. I'm not so scared of death. I'm so scared of being displaced. I want to go back to my home--and I'm so near, by the way... Gaza is so small. But I can't go there because the Gaza Strip is cut into pieces, and vehicles and tanks are in the borders between these pieces so I just can't go anywhere inside my homeland. My place. And... it's unacceptable. It's unimaginable. You know I have never imagined before that one day someone would just grab me from my... my homeland. My place. And just throw me away and prevent me to come back.
By the way, we don't know if we could go back. If we could go back again. Ever. And I'm so scared that they could displace us from Gaza Strip to the desert. [Bisan's voice breaks, she breaks into tears] We will die in the desert because of hunger. They displaced us to Egypt. To the north of Egypt, to Sanari desert. People just die. We will die.
[Sob] I don't know why do you guys are watching without doing anything to end this. Just in the... just stop it. Just stop it. Stop it in any price, stop it in any cost. Just stop it for anything. Just stop this. It's a nightmare. I can't continue just thinking about the displacement more and more. It's a nightmare. And I can't-- I can't keep it alive while thinking of being displaced more and more.
I just wanna go back to my home.
-- Bisan in a heartbreaking voice memo on Instagram, 2.14.2024
It's very, very weird that Rhysand stans vilify Madja to extent that they do. How are you calling Madja a bitch for doing something she is obviously used to doing (i.e. deferring to Rhys), and not Rhysand. The only black women/people in the IC are servants, which is their primary function in the story. They don't have any autonomy. Madja, Nuala, and Cerridwen are not pawns to shift the blame unto when you guys refuse to hold that nasty white man accountable. Of course, she told Rhysand, she's scarcely a character in the story. Feyre was told the baby had wings. What Feyre did not know was how dire the consequences of that were. It's pretty much implied that Rhysand is the one who told Madja not to warn Feyre. After Cassian asked that Madja would've warned Feyre, Rhysand tells him that Feyre is not to know under any circumstance. And again, both Rhysand and Feyre were at that meeting. Rhysand is the one who advises Madja not to tell Feyre, as he is the one who advised his court not to tell. It's the reason Cass asks the question in the first place.
Rhysand is the one who willingly had sex with Feyre, in Illyrian form, with the sole purpose of trying to procreate with her. Rhysand is the one who did not tell Feyre the risks of having an Illyrian child, even as he continued to have sex with her in the form. Rhysand is the one after receiving the information from Madja, decided to tell the entirety of the IC and two political leaders before even consulting the woman carrying the child. Rhysand is the one who told everyone -- plainly -- that they could not inform Feyre about the threat to her life.
It's already nasty that Rhysand's behavior is excused, it's even nastier than y'all hold the older black nurse accountable for Rhysand's actions. Madja is the bitch, but Rhys is the one you love? It's so weird when black characters are made into the scapegoats or villains of the story. Y'all did this with Nehemia too. Some of y'all should check the racism at the door.
Rhysand tore into Feyre’s mind. He took her most initiate thoughts and said them aloud—he barreled so deep into her mind, that Feyre felt that she was going to piss herself. That is what she felt. Those were her emotions during those scenes.
Rhysand drugged Feyre, made her dance atop him naked. Made her grind and shake against him with no undergarments. Made her dance until she was too fatigued to even walk, until she couldn’t even keep down the little food she was able to get. He humiliated her in front of the entirety of Prythian. He forced her to live her sexual assault in front of the man she loved. Even after she threw up, he made her continue to dance. Feyre felt humiliated. She felt afraid, debased, and angry. She felt sad. Those were the emotions she felt as a result of Rhysand’s actions. That’s how she felt. It’s so irresponsible to say abuse is only valid based on the victim’s response. Whether or not Feyre forgives Rhys, whether she chooses to understand whatever abusive actions Rhysand continually does against her he is still objectively a disgusting perpetrator of sexual assault who is nasty and unworthy of contemplation or forgiveness. And no matter how y’all have made peace with that in your head, that’s the reality of that situation. He and anyone who defends those actions are very weird. And then even after all that Rhysand nearly kills Feyre by withholding life-altering information—like he’s going straight to hell.
It’s one thing to dislike Tamlin, and to condemn his actions. I agree with that—but it’s another thing entirely to pretend that Rhysand’s actions were somehow more morally pure. It disgusts me that y’all would take how Feyre felt in those scenes above and carve a love story into them. If your critique of Tamlin means you turn a blind eye toward Rhysand assaulting Feyre sexually, mentally, and physically, you’re not an advocate for abuse. You are not adding to the conversation in a meaningful way.
I don’t think I’ll ever get over Feyre painting everyone’s eyes in that cabin that simply doesn’t belong to her. Especially since all that shit happens in the span of months. I wouldn’t do that, even if I’d known the person my entire life. Not when the cabin doesn’t belong to me tf.
Like, looking a little closer at that, that action was so weird. It really shows how disconnected ACOTAR can be from reality.
honestly? the way Rhys talks about Elain in the books and in that extra bonus chapter of ACOSF reeks of misogyny. like. that's. grade A level shit you'd see that's so casually sexist
the way he talks about her is so upsetting tbh. like. he obviously has little opinion of her or respect for her other than her not "being nasty" like Nesta
he has the Audacity to say everyone is coddling Elain when he "Elain is Elain"ed her. Nesta is "Illyrian at heart" so she "doesn't have an excuse" so does that mean Elain DOES? what does that mean, Rhys. What does Elain is Elain mean when Nesta is Illyrian and doesn't have an excuse but Elain does?
it puts a bad taste in my mouth when any male character remarks on a female characters hobbies or if they think they're interesting or boring or whatever. Rhys telling Feyre he thinks Elain is boring is gross idc
just because he frames it as "I think she's kind" bro. my guy. same vibes as saying "oh well at least she's pretty" about some air headed female character I'm SORRY but keep Elains name out of your mouth
