Check out this playlist on @8tracks: Blind Instinct by aelinfireheart.

Surprise! I was @achievingelysium‘s secret santa. So I did what I do best and I made a cool new playlist for her. I hope you like it, I do, but I’m biased as hell. Also I hope we talk and become friends now that my identity has been revealed. Sorry it took so long to post! And sorry 8tracks sucks now. Merry Christmas and Happy Yulemaas! :)

Okay so I've seen several posts about how we shouldn't complain about a characters being white and straight in ToG

And frankly at first I wasn’t going to say anything abt it but yknow what it’s stuck in my head so I have to say something.

First of all I won’t be mentioning anyone because I don’t want people to get hate, and it’s been at least a day since I’ve seen those posts so even if I wanted to call people out I don’t remember who lol.

We complain about the lack of lgb+ POC in ToG because REPRESENTATION MATTERS!!!

I think one post said that we are supposed to just enjoy the book rather than make sure it lives up to our standards or something along those lines.

Well guess fucking what, including LGB+ people and POC helps me enjoy the book more because I feel represented!!! I can see myself as POC characters! It’s a little harder to see myself as a fucking white person. I can see myself as a LBG+ character, it’s not as easy to see myself as a straight character.

Also it’s just really cool seeing people like me being able to do bad ass stuff??? Whether or not I relate to that character??

God this is so frustrating that I actually have to type this out.

You know why representation matters???? Because when I read Cinder and realized that it was situated in China, I cried. I bawled my fucking eyes out because holy shit this is in Asia!!! Kai is Asian!!! And Cinder is a WOC!!!!!

I cried even more when Meyer introduced that Indian lady who wore a sari!!!! I literally stopped reading because I had to stop crying so I could see the words properly again. And she wasn’t even a huge character, she was the wedding planner!

And for those of you who think it would be “forcing diversity” to include characters who are LBG+, and POC. How fucking privileged and ignorant do you have to be to think that????

I assure you that the world has more POC than it does white people. I know more LBG+ people than I do straight people. There are so many people in this fandom that belong on the LGB+ spectrum.

Our main/important characters right now are: Aelin, Rowan, Dorian, Lysandra, Chaol, Nesryn, Aedion, Manon, Asterin, Elide. I may be forgetting some idk. But out of all of them, Nesryn is the only CANON POC. And so far there’s no solid evidence that any of them are LGB+.

I don’t like “assuming” that characters are straight unless proven otherwise. But with a lot of YA fiction, especially when written by someone who isn’t LGB+ chances are “straight” is the default.

I don’t blame you if you’ve been born into privilege. You had no choice just as I had no choice in being born Indian. I’d just like to NOT be told to shut the fuck up when I ask for representation.

Also for people who’re all like “oh what so POC/LGB+ characters can’t be killed off now?” No they can’t when there’s like a 3:7 ratio of POC/LGB+ characters to straight white characters.

Yes SJM has killed off many white people, but there are plenty more white characters. But Nesryn and her family (who’s names aren’t even mentioned) like our only CANON POC that are alive right now that are partially relevant to the story.

So in a sea of straight white characters are you really going to bitch me out for asking for Witches to be WOC, and for Manon and Elide to be in love???? How selfish do you have to be??

Please stop telling POC and LGB+ people that we shouldn’t complain because we have 3 POC characters (2 of which are dead) and 4 gay characters (2 are mentioned only in HoF and once in QoS, and the other 2 mentioned literally once in this entire series).

————————–

Before anyone thinks about saying I hate SJM; this post is not about her. This post is about stans in our community telling POC and LGB+ people to shut up about wanting representation.

I still love SJM, I think she’s a great writer even if she isn’t that inclusive, and yes I do love her straight white characters because they are still very complex and amazing characters that I genuinely enjoy regardless of race or sexuality.

This is not Anti-SJM in any way. This is about the fandom.

YAASS SAY IT LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE AT THE BACK!! Also, just because you love a book series, doesn’t mean you can’t criticize it! I, as a brown girl, cried when Nehemia was introduced as a main character. It’s not too much to ask for representation, because relating to someone that is straight and white is hard?! Even if I didn’t relate to the POC characters, I would love to see someone like me kick some ass! I do love SJM, it’s just that REPRESENTATION MATTERS. It’s just that a good portion of her fandom isn’t straight and white, and she can incorporate characters that aren’t, either, in her story, too! How fucking privileged are people that they think that “we shouldn’t force diversity in books”?????? You do realize the fact that you’re practically telling us that our skin color is forced, and we could’ve been white because there is no particular reason for us to be POC, right?? Also, this is a fantasy world, Sarah can choose to make the laws herself. She can choose whether if the people can be fucking not-white!! She can choose that there can be fucking people that are LGBTQ+ in her OWN FUCKING WORLD!! Do you know why it matters that we have POC and LGBTQ+ characters that don’t survive?? It’s because it makes the actual pEOPLE THAT ARE LGBTQ OR POC THINK THAT THEY ARE NOT FUCKING VALID AND SHOULD DIE!! The reason that I hated Manon ending up with Dorian isn’t just the fact that I’m absolutely Anti-Manorian, which, I undoubtedly am, it’s the fact that Manon ended up with a fucking guy. While. She. Constantly. Repeated. Throughout. The. Whole. Fucking. Book. That. She. Hated. Men. She happened to have chemistry with a fucking girl. Chemistry, that levels, if not exceeds, the chemistry of Rowaelin or Feysand. But. Of. Course. She. Ended. With. A. Guy. You know, the kind she hated?! If Manon wasn’t gonna end up with Elide, and Sarah could argue that the chemistry she and Elide had, was just friendly, but. That. Could. Only. Be. Acceptable. If. Manon. Was. Aro/Ace. If she isn’t gay, she falls somewhere on the Ace spectrum?! Also, Chaol. Lemme just tell you why this angers the fuck out of me. Chaol, who happens to be a POC (he is referred to have light brown and tan skin, which is as far as YA novels go to describe canon POCs @gaymanonblackbeak, [also answering your Elide question]) and is disabled isn’t allowed into the fucking book Because. He. Would. Slow. The. Plot. Down. All those tumblr users telling me that he would be “nuisance” to the plot and would only drag things about and would be of no use, and would only mess up, Do. You. Even. Fuckin. Realize. How. Ableist. That. Is?!?? It is horrible that Chaol won’t be in EoS because, you know, the part of the fandom that is disabled, would actually feel their worth? And the fact that they deserved representation and could still fucking kick ass as disabled people?!? Of course, no, that’s not important for the white, straight people that are getting all the representation they need. No! Those people, who love the books, and worship the author, yet want characters they relate to in the book are not fucking bashing your book. They are simply asking why they weren’t there. They were simply wishing for people to relate to. They weren’t hating on your author, they were asking her to include them for the next book! Her book is a work of art, and art is made to be criticized. It’s supposed to talk back to you. It’s supposed to make one find imperfections within in it even if they find it to be glorious. So, don’t tell POC and LGBTQ+ people to stop fucking complaining, they have literally like 7 people, most of them dead. Please don’t tell me you wouldn’t be angry if the only person that represented you in the whole fucking series was killed off because you would be straight-off lying to me. So, let us get angry. We happen to have a valid reason to. The fact that you think we’re getting pissed off for no reason is what proves what a racist/homophobic and selfish theme your mindset has taken. You have a privilege. Realize it. Don’t fucking abuse it.

Kaltain Rompier!

I know it looks really unfinished (dear god the ‘fire’ is dreadful-.-) but I don’t have time to work on it anymore:( It was more of a therapeutic image for me to get stress down but I love her so much, and really enjoyed drawing her so I’ll certainly want to draw some proper book scenes including her!

Also guys is there any specific character or scene from either the TOG or ACOTAR you’d like to see?
