I don't know what happened to my other pinned but lo and behold I'm making a new one. Hello, welcome to my little corner of the fandom. I stepped back for about 6 months to see what i really wanted from fandom. It's my place to think, to create, and to relax. This doesn't always mean I engage with the media (especially SJM media) in a complementary way. I have never been one to "follow the flock" if you will. I'm older than most people here too, I'm in my early to mid-thirties. I have a college education and an extensive one at that. I enjoy literary criticism and I like making posts that might make you mad about your faves. Just block me if you're pro-feysand, pro-rhysand, pro-inner circle, or any variation on those themes. This is NOT a Cassian-friendly space. Phew. I will say I'm in love with non-canon pairs. I like Tamlin and Eris and all the ones who are a little less loved in the fandom.

-Proceed with kindness always.

Masterlist under the cut bbs! Organized by fandom.

despite evidence to contrary, you do not need to write 50 page post (single spaced, in 7pt font) about why tamlin is the good guy and rhysand sucks.

you'd be right, but you also don't need to break it down for the assholes.

let those who lack reading comprehension sail their own ships onto the reef.

it's fun.

Another day, another dollar.

Or, for those of us who have (regretfully) read SJM: another day, another dark haired super sexy misogynist

For all that Cassian claims to love his people, do we ever see that love? He never mentions anything about them other than how he feels they've failed as a society due to their misogyny, or how he feels a pseudo hunger games is the only way to avoid civil war. What are the readers, much less the other characters, meant to think of Illyrians?

On top of that, the one thing that bothers him most is being called a bastard? I get that it's a major insecurity, but when he downplays his so-called mates' trauma and chalks up her response to said trauma as a personal attack on him due to his birth, it just comes across as being self-centred and un-empathetic.

When he sees Nesta dancing with Eris, despite knowing that they were doing to her what her abusive mother did to her, his biggest concern was still that Nesta may chose the person who acknowledges her talents, doesn't try to force her to change, and is generally pretty nice to her, over him because of his birth?

Dude, if it was that much of an issue, she wouldn't have been willing to die with you during the war. At this point, your birth doesn't mean shit to anyone but you, and you're the one being the most vocal about it. Honestly, it makes him feel more like a stubborn pick-me boy than an someone we're supposed to be rooting for, and empathising with.

It's not because you're a bastard, it's because you're a self centred, arrogant asshole who can't see past yourself, your brother and your own pain.

@nestaarcheronweek Day 3 - Self Care

Self care is calling your sister's bluff and moving away from the Night Court instead of to the House of Wind.

Listen, I fully believe if Nesta and Tamlin got to compare notes on how the NC treats them they could have bonded. And it would be hilarious.

you know the biggest bone i have to pick with sjm? it's actually about crescent city, honestly. the lore was so... scattered and incomplete. was she drunk when she wrote the outline? i'm confused as to why a crossover was necessary (I MEAN!) what was involving loser ass rhys into this about? i'm confused as fuck. and why does he have to be so "hot" i do not comprehend. Feyre was barely mentioned (NO appearances) in the 3rd CC book but supposedly she's high lady? What did Rhysand do? Lock her up in the house of wind? I can't with the inconsistencies. i'm tired, y'all. a lot of the MAIN SJM worshippers didn't even like it. and you been knew she's alluding to el/riel end game. i'm 👌 that close to re-writing crescent city, hoe don't tempt me.

maybe feyre didn't appear because she ran away to the spring court to win back tamlin... we can hope right?
