too much monogamy in fandom in general

as we all know, everyone falls in love once and only once with their one true love the first time, and if they had relationships before that they weren’t real and didn’t love each other, and you can’t love more than one person at once, and your friends and family need to be pushed out of the picture to focus more on your romance, and no one has sex with people they don’t love, and if they did, they’re dirty and they have to have hated it and the sex they have with their one true love after they’re officially together has to be better sex than they ever had before, and no one ever breaks up for any reason other than death, and everyone wants to get married and have kids. aren’t you fucking tired.

I SAID AREN’T YOU FUCKING TIRED

Look they are like 500+ years old fae and you are telling me they didn't have good sex before meeting their mate? Come on. Also acting like love is some finite thing that you reserve just for one specific person, as if you can't love friends so fiercely, as if you can't love your family, your passions with so much force and still love someone or multiple people romantically.

Meh

I saw so much fanart of Tamlin with antlers that I consider it canon. Imagine Calanmai, where fae men fight with antlers like deers or elks to get a woman, and then they have ritual sex to fill the land with spring, and the High Lord make spring magical. The wildness of nature is amazing.

Wingspan? Fuck it. Let the Illyrians, Peregrines and other winged fairies perform mating dances. Yeah, these warriors, huge pumped-up men with tattoos shake their asses for woman's attention. Have you seen a female peacock, butterflies, or even an ordinary chicken?

And the Court of Nightmares? Instead of Keir, there should be Keira, who has spider or mantis legs. And these women can literally rip a man to shreds, have a bath with blood, and make a birthing bed out of bones. Such ladies would happily join Amarantha, it would be easier to believe that Mor is only good one there (and for them she is a freak, wrong), and Rhysand's feminism would be morally gray, ambigous, because he oppresses these women, but it is really dangerous to let them out.

Nature is cruel. Magical nature is doubly cruel, and it's no wonder that Feyre, as a hunter, accepted it more quickly than Nesta, raised as a noble's wife, and Elain, who had her ass wiped up to adulthood. Due to SJM's poor imagination, we missed Helion with harem of lion-wives and could have explored homosexuality in nature through Thesan (I'm sure many people believe that gay animals don't exist).

I mean, if we're going to make fairies not otherworldly, but animalistic. But the only "animal" thing in ACOTAR is that characters fuck like rabbits.

i love these two dorks so much i just imagine sidon's tail wagging whenever he gets super happy

maybe they shouldn’t have put so many of the major arteries in such erotic places. Have you ever thought about that

Guilty as sin is a Neris song

why the hell is he standing like that

you can pry my "garrus flirts easily and well up until feelings happen and suddenly it's all too real and scary and he cannot stop flubbing it" headcanon from my cold dead hands

say gex

[reference I used]

im one of those ppl who shit on straight omega verse au with same dynamics as canon and i came across straight ones in acotar😭 like u already have the mating bond frenzy and need to constantly fuck and they do put their horny smell everywhere like what do u mean u made canon copy paste to omegaverse??????

like make the bat boys omegas then we’re talking ok but noooo they are alphas and the sisters are omegas like what is this😭

saw one where it’s an whole group thing like ok fine fine

there is some for tamlin x lucien like yeah thats what im talking about!

but the straight couple’s is so boring like make the dude an omega u coward, make him pregnant!!!!!!

edit: btw i came across it bc of a tamlin x lucien fic, that side of the fandom isnt afraid to get weird love it

I feel this in my SOUL!!

ngl, this is the most heteronormative fandom I think I have ever been in and you would at least think people would get funky with omegaverse and make Feyre or at least Nesta an alpha or something but nooooo.

I feel like this is gonna be another one of those "I've gotta do it myself" things lol.

(Also, pls drop the fic rec I'm begging.)

how long do you guys think eris’s hounds kept looking for him after koschei stole him away. just snuffling and sniffing, desperate for a scent. they are used to him disappearing, but not like this, not so panicked, not so worried. how long before they started whining. how long before they started braying, even though they know they are not supposed to, because they would rather him be there and upset with them for their disobedience than gone like he is

[very clearly enamored AND elated] He fucking bit me.

Bad jokes HATE to see Vi R. Cane coming

The Chairs has a new chapter posted today: Chapter 45 - New Foundations

Communication starts with talking... with your intended target.

This Chapter has sexual content, please check the tags on Ao3

The Chairs is an Explicit (very) Slow-Burn Azris romance. New chapters are released on Fridays.

Hypothetically speaking...

After reading every single fic on Tumblr and Ao3 and my mind not shutting up about my own ideas...if I were to write an Azris fic... Would anyone be interested?

This is the first time I'm writing for the two so the dynamics might be off (and the first fic I'm writing in a loooongggg time... but I'm so intrigued by this literal perfection of a couple

So I've read a lot of fics about the ICs reaction to the couple with some of them being kinda negative. I wanna take that and crank it up to the max. I'm thinking Mor/Rhys villain arc, maybe some captivity involved..maybe some torture, who knows..

Anyways here is a random excerpt I wrote. Lemme know what you guys think of the idea

Azriel POV:

It is fascinating how someone bred in the cold, barren mountains of Illyria could fall in love with the brilliant ambers and auburns of the Autumn Court. But the tall oaks and winding river had a way of luring people in like sirens- ensnaring them in their trap. At least that had been the case with the Shadowsinger.

With each recon mission, each hidden midnight rendezvous, the heir to the Autumn Court had wormed his way into Azriel’s heart. It had not been love at first. No, it had started as a deep friendship based on an intrinsic understanding of the other. Once the fox had shrugged of his mask, Azriel had lamented at his own foolishness. How had he ever thought of Eris as the enemy, as a monster? The two males were mirrors of each other, perfect parallels. Hurt by the very family meant to protect them, locked in an eternal game of survival, doing everything they could to survive. How could anyone be made to stand trial for that?

Slowly, the friendship had turned into more, into longing glances, into nights spent awake, away from the other, dreaming of their smile. To be honest, if anyone were to ask, Azriel could not pinpoint when exactly it had become more-when they crossed that line between friendship and love. But they had, and Azriel couldn’t be happier. Truth be told, the mating bond snapping the night the couple celebrated Eris’ birthday seemed like a divine gift, one that had made the two males laugh heartedly at the timing of it. But it was just that, a gift, a cherry on top of an already beautiful relationship. They weren’t in love because of the bond snapping; implying so would be an insult to their love. Their love had taken hard work, it had taken time. It had demanded long nights of holding each other close. It had taken patience when Eris was too lost in his head to communicate, just as it had when Azriel was too stubborn to let anyone heal his wounds
