Cassian and Nesta - A Court of Thorns and Roses
Artist: @k_psps
Unpopular Opinion:
I hate the climbing mountain/Nesta healing scene. There’s no way I will ever support punishment as a climax for emotional healing.
if my “soulmate” and man who supposedly loves me took me on a grueling hike and proceeded to ignore me for a few days and not give two shits whether i drank or ate, knowing it was my first hike ever and how emotionally drained i felt, thought it was a good idea to make me keep hiking in silence and hunger when he saw i literally didn’t care if i lived or died and made me carry a heavy bag and was amused by my punishment and struggle … well, i’d probably never speak to him again
i suppose he gaslights (?) her into thinking that he actually was very caring and kind and considerate on this hike by saying “we can hike in silence just don’t shut me out at the end 🥺”
BOY you are the one who has been so hostile to her for multiple days and ignored her, don’t even start with me
that scene makes me so uncomfortable like ???!??! why couldn’t they have just stayed in the house I KNOW Cassian has in Illyria or something ???? why would you push an already extremely emotionally traumatized woman even further by going on a physically exhausting hike and then have your only takeaway be “noooo don’t hate yourself you’re so sexy aha talk to me 🥺” like ????
Well I’m glad I’m not the only one. Sometimes I see posts about how uwu it is. Him holding her and telling her all this nice stuff and what not when she’s crying her eyes out and I’m like…. 👀👀👀👀. (Dump his ass).
I thought the argument around Cassian is that he doesn’t speak his love, he shows it? Well…. It’s show and tell, class.
“Nooooo don’t hate yourself you’re so sexy aha talk to me” @moodymelanist I’m dead
He’s not that nice when she breaks down, which is part of the problem. Nesta goes on about how she’s a terrible person who can’t help being cruel and doesn’t deserve happiness. And cassians response is not actually to reassure her that she DOES deserve happiness and IS a good person who has made his or anyone else’s lives better.
He says that she’ll eventually get over those feelings and she should fight this. She’s capable of fighting this feeling, don’t give up. Which would be fine if she thought she was worth fighting for at all, but she doesn’t
Okay… but this whole thread is why I also hate the blurb in the beginning of the book. Like “climb the mountain.”
What is that referring to? The thousand of stairs that Nesta has to climb from being locked up in a house, which Nesta mostly climbed down. The mountains that Nesta has to climb as irrefutable punishment. Or Ramiel? which Nesta doesn’t climb at all….
You know I’m still kinda bitter about the fact that we didn’t get a deeper exploration of what it was like for Nesta and Elain to turn fae and lose their humanity. It’s an interesting concept. One that could have been explored more in depth, but I don’t think it’s going to and that kind of makes me somewhat bitter because I just think it would have been a good idea from a writing perspective. Not even Feyre’s loss of humanity was explored enough in my personal opinion. Like I think it would be more interesting if they had done what Vampire Diaries did and show how difficult the transition process actually is, Am I the only one who thinks we were robbed of this??!
I love the idea of struggling with becoming fae so much. It’s such an interesting concept that was absolutely wasted. And I’m weirdly a sucker for fantasy body dysphoria. All the sudden the ears and limbs she’s known her whole life are different. Slightly longer and more slender. Not bad necessarily but also not hers. When she was reborn in the cauldron… was that really her or is she in someone else’s skin? The weird sense of wrongness.
ESPECIALLY because Nesta starts off by thinking she’s monstrous. Why the hell would you not explore this? Where it’s partially because of this power she has no control over, partially because she can’t control death (even with this power she has no control over) as in her father and the warriors and the war, and partially because SHE’S FAE. The monsters she has grown up fearing. She’s a walking contradiction. Why does she not have some great inner turmoil especially when she already doesn’t like herself and who she is???
Makes no sense to me.

Me: I'm done with anything GoT related the ending sucked so bad I never wanna think about it again
Also me after they release one teaser trailer for House of the Dragon:
Rhaenyra Targaryen was the first-born child of King Viserys I Targaryen by his first wife, Aemma Arryn. At the age of eight she was made her father’s heir and grew up expecting to become the first ruling Queen of Westeros.
Dreams didn’t make us kings, dragons did.

A new Sketch-a-Wish, voted for by my wonderful Patreons for September: A piece inspired from Howl’s Moving Castle featuring Howl showing Sophie the field of flowers near his childhood cottage. Whaaa I put so much detail into the gang in the back, but it’s barely noticeable when you zoom out. 😖
Modern fandom went awry when people stopped learning how to avoid content that upsets them and instead starting actively seeking it out.
I mean this in the kindest, most loving way possible, but babes you'll be so much happy when you stop focusing on what other people are doing and instead focus on what you like.
You'll never be able to stop people from liking what you hate, and the best way you'll find any peace of mind is properly utilizing blocking, blacklisting, and muting tools. Take it from someone who used to run a shipping discourse blog, fandom is supposed to be what you enjoy, stop focusing on things that upset you.
