i’ve changed accounts!

so this blog isn’t actually my primary account but I’ve created a new tumblr that is my primary so I can better interact with you all! 

the new account is @highladyofprythian ( https://highladyofprythian.tumblr.com/ ) and i’d love if you could give that account a follow rather than this one here- I won’t be posting anything here moving forward. 

looking forward to seeing you all on the other account!

I cannot get over Elain and Azriel. It just feels like the most beautiful relationship, one that’s not about predetermined mating bonds but about choice. And that simple act - to be chosen and to choose - is what both of those two really need.

Azriel with his past of being unwanted and Elain with all that’s been forced upon her. To be able to choose who why love? To learn to give themselves over and trust that the other person will cherish them? 

End! Me!

And here it is, the first chapter of my fic! I’m really excited to be sharing this with you all so I hope you enjoy it as much as I’ve enjoyed writing it. 

In true SJM style it is a slow burn so stick with me!

People always ask me whether I ship elucien or elriel. I’m just sitting here thinking, why not both? Or, better, all three of them together? :”>

I ask, “What’s your name?” For if I’m to leave this place, I want to know the name of my captor, the Fae who shut me out and healed my wounds in the same breath.

The moment shatters like glass. His eyes which were like tree tops on a warm Spring day, turn glacial. The Fae darts his eyes up at the canopy in the ruined room, the cushions, the torn pages, the broken furniture, withdrawing in on himself with every look. Every part of this room seems to rip through him.

“You don’t want to know, human.”

Really excited to share this little excerpt from my first ever ACOTAR fic with you all along with my inspiration pictures from my Pinterest. 

| Five years after the war on Hybern, the Fae realm of Prythian remains shrouded in mystery and darkness. Humans dare not cross the border, and folk tales of the Fae spread across the human lands in hushed whispers. Young Viasna is thrown into the unknown as she grapples with a power beyond her understanding. In the Fae realm, Tamlin struggles with the betrayal of his court and closest confidants. Together in a derelict manor, Viasna and Tamlin battle their inner monsters and uncover ancient truths of the Fae. | 

I will be posting the first chapter of the fic shortly! And I’ll provide a link on this post as well for easy finding.

About The Inner Circle and Nesta

So I want to make it clear that this post is NOT anti-Nesta. I happen to find her character interesting and complex, and I am hopeful for her journey in ACOFAS. I also want to clarify that I understand that her behaviour is a response to trauma. However, that doesn’t mean that the inner circle should simply take it. They are all survivors of abuse. Mor with her family, Cassian with the Illyrians, Azriel with the Illyrians and his own family. Rhysand with the Illyrians and the 50 years of abuse and rape under Amarantha. The inner circle’s members are so close to one another because they love and support each other. Feyre made a place within their ranks because she accepted their help and offered support in return. It was all healthy exchanges and positive exchanges. It is the same way with Elain. She is lovely and nice to others. She let them approach, making it easy to like her and offer her the support she needs. On the other hand, Nesta is hurting and using coping mechanisms that are unhealthy and hurtful towards others. Furthermore, she is a brilliant woman who knows what to say to hurt people (throwback to the Sidra Scene). Anyway, my point is that Nesta and the inner circle have no positive interaction and that the inner circle has no incentive to treat her the same way they did with Feyre and Elain. And even if they did, it would be catastrophic because the way they do things clash with where Nesta is right now. We can easily see that with Feyre. She has good intentions, but she is doing more harm than good. Trauma is different for everyone. Healing is different for everyone. And sometimes people can’t be there for us on our journey. It doesn’t make them bad people. It just makes them people that can’t be there for us, people that can give us what we need. I just want to say that you don’t have to be anti-anyone. Everyone in the series is flawed and trying their best.  Unfortunately, it’s not enough, and it can even do more harm.

pls... pls if you have any fic recs with mating bond jealousy. and i mean male-going-absolutely-feral over his jealousy over his mate PLEASE suggest them.

[sjmsstuff]

Lol I think sjm saw the mayhem she created in the fandom with Nesta and went “lmao watch this” and then wrote ✨Eris✨

[ndragneel777]

I went on Instagram, saw the comments on the new Eris, cassian and nesta snippet, and LITERALLY everyone was like 'shes trying to make cassian jealous' and I'm like "BITCH, NOT EVERYTHING NESTA DOES IS BECAUSE OF CASSIAN!! LET HER FUCKING ENJOY HERSELF!!!

[thebowlofsoup]

couldn’t have said this better myself. 

i like nesta as a standalone character but NOT with cassian. like damn let her live. let her do her own shit. god damn

[thebowlofsoup]

nesta and eris would be... delicious

oh not for any good reason. but the drama. i would eat that shit up. not only is cas feeling betrayed and upset but mor... oh mor would be furious. the intrigue... the spice... 

it’s excellent. 

[thebowlofsoup]

benedict from bridgerton gives me azriel vibes

and idk why but i think it’s because i just love men who know how to shut the fuck up

[thebowlofsoup]

as much as i don’t like nesta

i would pay good money to read a scene between her and tamlin
