Seriously... 💀 the list of categories inside the SJMaasverse are insane.

Anti-SJM.

Pro-SJM.

Anti-SJM but still ACOTAR-invested.

Anti-ACOTAR but pro-Throne of Glass.

Pro-Rhys but anti-IC.

Anti-Rhys but Feyre defender.

Anti-Feyre but still Nesta apologist.

Pro-Nesta but anti-Nessian.

Critical fans.

Ex-fans.

Hate-readers.

Lore archaeologists.

People who left but still receive the psychic newsletter.

People who “don’t care anymore” but can write 4,000 words by moonrise.

It proves one thing though: Nobody is free. The unsubscribe button is decorative. 💀

The books are not just being read, they are being litigated. Like seriously. A normal fandom has fans, haters, shippers, maybe a few discourse goblins in the walls.

SJM somehow has created an entire civilization of competing courts:

people defending the text, people defending the characters against the text, people defending SJM from her critics, people defending ACOTAR from SJM, people defending one book from another book, people rejecting canon but staying loyal to the emotional concept, people who left but still know every trial transcript by heart…

That proves the foundation is unstable but magnetic.

Because if the books were simply bad, people would leave.

If they were cleanly good, people would mostly celebrate.

But because they are conceptually powerful and structurally messy, everyone keeps coming back to argue over what the story meant versus what it actually did.

That’s the cursed genius of it. Not necessarily intentional genius, but still effective. The emotional promise is strong enough to trap people. The execution is weak enough to make them fight forever.

The fandom is not a fandom. It is a multi-denominational theological crisis with wings, mating bonds, and Goodreads reviews. 💀

“That smile of his sparked something bold in my chest. ‘He also said that you liked being brushed, and if I'm a clever girl, I might train you with treats.’ Tamlin tipped his head to the sky and roared with laughter. Despite myself, I let out a quiet laugh.” -A Court of Thorns and Roses

I need to say something.

The fact that sexual assault, sexism, and violence against women are important themes in the ACOTAR books is incredibly impactful for readers and important to include.

And the fact that sexual assault, sexism, and violence against women are never even considered or mentioned in the Fourth Wing books is incredibly healing to read.

And both facts can and should coexist.

Something I am really interested in is seeing how Nesta’s character is going to play out in ACOTAR 6.

We now have all this information on why she is the way she is. She overcomes depression and seems to be open to handling her anger and spite after she did in ACOSF to earn more self respect for herself.

What do yall think? Are you excited? Do you think Nesta will finally have her “redemption arc” that people want so badly? Does Nesta even need a redemption arc after acosf?

It never surprises me when I see Eluciens that are Anti IC. It's just another example that they can't comprehend the story. They HATE the IC but it's SJMs favorite group of characters she's ever written. She's not gonna suddenly make them all evil.

Nowhere in the text does SJM write that Elain wants Lucien but they deny the OBVIOUS blooming feelings Az and Elain have for eachother.
