Some High Lords are just more powerful and more competent than others.

[grimseverity]

When you think of Tamlin’s power exploding at Feyre, remember Rhys twisting her broken arm.

When you think of Tamlin not reacting to Feyre’s torment UtM, think about Rhys being the center of that torment, drugging and SAing her for no reason other than to stick it to Tamlin.

When you think of Tamlin binding Feyre to the manor, think of Rhys warding the Moonstone Palace and warding her with a shield that prevented Cassian from kissing her.

When you think of what Tamlin said about Feyre at the High Lords’ meeting, think about Rhysand suicide baiting him for no reason, AND what Rhysand said about Feyre’s thoughts about Tamlin during ACOTAR.

When you think about Tamlin’s alliance with Hybern, remember it was to protect his court, get Feyre back, and gather information, whereas Rhys allied with Amarantha to keep one third of his court safe, leaving the rest to rot.

When you claim Tamlin lied to get Feyre over the wall, remember Rhys nearly fed Feyre to the Weaver, had her lie to Tarquin, and lied to her about her goddamn pregnancy.

When you demonize Tamlin, you better sure as hell put Rhys under the same microscope, otherwise I can’t take a word you say seriously.

When Rhysand’s mother decided his future wife must be able to escape the clutches of a death god in order to prove her love for her son, Rhysand straight up surrendered Feyre to the Weaver. He sent his mate to a trap no other fae ever survived solely to satisfy his dead mother and his own ego.

When Tamlin had to make a woman profess her love for him in order to save all of Prythian at the risk of her getting harmed, he sent Feyre home.

Don’t ever get it twisted.

rhysand is the most powerful high lord of all time and space and yet tamlin canonically

killed another high lord in one punch

dragged yet another high lord into war

was the only one strong enough to defeat amarantha, it's like rhysand's whole plan to use tamlin's raw beast power

meanwhile the scene where we're apparently shown rhysand's immense power is just him making tamlin shut his mouth bc rhys is losing the verbal sparring hard (bc his usual methods of shutting tamlin up aren't available anymore since he's married)

[senu102929]

The first time I read ACOWAR I had so much anxiety that Tamlin was going to come on to Feyre, not knowing she was already mated and unwittingly cause her to cheat on Rhysand to keep up her ruse. But instead, what we get in the book is HER touching his arm, leaning on his shoulder, touching his face, asking him to dance, AND THEN wearing their old lingerie from when she was engaged to him, to cry into Lucien's chiseled muscular shirtless chest? In his bedroom? To share a tent with Lucien and wake up on his bedroll?? While she's mated and this is her sister's mate?And she thinks nothing of this?

Meanwhile Tam is "working up the courage" to go to her room because he's so scared he doesn't want to make her uncomfortable and she's off doing this?

She was so unhinged at the beginning of ACOWAR, when she gets back to Night and her and Rhysand are like "I could have killed him" "No, I could have killed him" like just feral deranged maniacal villains.

Tamlin is such the bigger male for this, I don't think they even kissed, like this is your former fiancee but she's gone through so much (presumably) and he's just so careful to respect her boundaries, it could have been so uncomfortable but it's not even an issue, miraculously, because he's just cares that much about consent and her comfort.

Fun Fact: Nesta, Tamlin, and Lucien aren't nearly as problematic as Feyre and the IC.

What SHOULD have happened during the High Lord meeting

Beron moved to the Lady of Autumn's seat, resting a hand on her shoulder. The same arm that now bore a bright scar. She did not so much as flinch, but her hand tightened around Eris's wrist.

"You have injured my wife, viciously attacked my heir, and made an attempt on my life. These are acts of war, little girl. Perhaps your mate should have done better filling you with knowledge of politics and common sense rather than vile seed!"

"Beron!"

"I have spoken my piece!" he snarled in answer to Thesan's snap. Beron turned back to the Night Court and pointed his finger.

"Too long have we endured the arrogance of this insolent half-breed. Well. No longer." Beron spat out the words, "This meeting was the last straw in a bale of thousands. As High Lord of Autumn, I declare war on Night."

The ripple was instantaneous.

"Father, are you certain of this?" Eris murmured.

But Beron did not answer his son. His gaze was fixed on Rhys's frozen face. The male recovered quickly, a sneer forming on his lips.

"What matter is it of mine whether you wage war on us or not? We both know your forces are nothing in comparison to Night's."

Beron's face turned thunderous, and he opened his mouth to reply when a voice cut through, sharp and clear.

"Spring will stand with you, Lord Beron."

Rhys barked out a laugh, relaxing "Oh? With what army?"

Tamlin merely smiled, unsheathing those deadly claws and letting them gleam in the steady candle light.

"I don't need one. I killed one High Lord of Night before. I can do it again."

For @lucienweekofficial Day 3 - Brotherhood

So much unfolded between the pages, but before ACOTAR began… I like to think there were quiet moments like this. A dozing Lucien, a calm Tamlin, and a stolen moment of peace between all the courtly chaos.

I truly hope we get more of this duo in the upcoming books. Tamlin and Lucien deserve their happy endings… but they also deserve to find their way back to each other 🧡.
