ACOTAR p.394
Rhys's reaction to finding out Amarantha wants Feyre to stab Tamlin
That's his husband right there.
I never truly cared for Netsa honestly.
No it wasn’t from the beginning. I was not fooled by ferret changing everyone’s mind. How can I hate or dislike her when she went to the wall with the mercenary to look for her sister. How can I be mad at her for trying to help feyre at the market not to trust the mercenaries because they stole from them but ferret misunderstood it as her wanting money from her.
Like feyre has formed a whole identity of Nesta in her head that is not true and never was… I knew feyre had some underlined undiagnosed mental illness.
She projected the same to Tamlin.
But what made me side eye her was how she treated Tamlin on this males own land. She equally fell into the misconception of who Tamlin was by the IC. Her misconception.
Recently I was accused of not siding with Nesta when I am a pro Tamlin girlie. I’d keep saying this, yes I would post about Nesta in connection with other stuff but I don’t care as much just a Nesta pros don’t give a shit about Tamlin. Infact I’ve seen videos where they only like to reference tam the same way to dispute the ic. So miss me with the BS.
The same way feyre has fallen into the trap of the ic is the same with Nesta when push comes to shove she’d side with them. Let’s not act as if she won’t. Let’s not assume because she is with Cassian now,The endentured slave.
With response to my last post did you know Tamlin was the one rebelling against Amarantha? Rhys like his mate allied with her. Remember when the young fae of summer was being killed by RYSAND? He was actually running towards the path that led to the spring court. Tam openly defied Am at every turn.
I’ve had someone ask me why I don’t do canons, ACOTAR is an unfinished series. I just love to give my theories and then move along. There’s a speculation Tamlin will die because he is like a Jesus trope of always sacrificing his happiness for the world. He once said if he was older when the war started he would’ve fought and died for the freedom n good side selfish bitch ferret said in her head she would’ve chosen the side that kept her family safe. Which of these two is a good person? But I’m betting my theory on Cassian dying honestly. Tamlin had suffered enough.
I will never not be surprised when I see someone say they love Tamlin. First, he's an abuser. Sure, other characters did bad things too, but Tamlin is the only one who wasn't romanticized. He was WRITTEN consciously as a domestic abuser.
Second, he's the most boring and non interisting character SJM has ever written. He wasn't lovable even in the first book. Even Beron has shown more personality than him.
See this one o 🤣 rapesand come get your person. This is a typical :
When you see faults in RELEVANT people and you pretend to not see their strengths and good sides. It’s called jealousy 🤣
Not you being jellies over a character!!! 🤣🤣
This is more and observation than anything but I believe Tamlin could be daemati as well perhaps that’s what drew rapisandro to him. remember when he and feyre were under the willow tree that he loved and it sang to him, they took a nap there and right before they went yo sleep ferret said TO HERSELF “it was the Tamlin that I dreamed of” right before she dozed off to sleep and Tamlin said “you are exactly how I dreamed you’d be too”
How could he have known that when she didn’t say that out loud?
Why is every art of Tamlin angry or frowning or sad n destitute? This male has laughed, danced, mingled with his people, smiled, said the sweetest and nicest things. Yet all people can remember is him angry? Y’all will forget Rhys angry at Nesta never an art of him ranging n ranting and giving smal dick energy… how Nesta pleaded with Bryce to leave cus he was coming full force for her with his darkness…
No one wants to draw Tamlin because they know he’s a handsome fae male in his own right. They try their hardest to make him look unattractive and short when he’s actually bigger n taller than the batboys n Rhys. He’s a freaking beast and a warrior. Feyre says it many times something she’s hasn’t said about rapesand.
The only bigger male in that meeting, was the one who just had his court decimated after being manipulated and destroyed from the inside out. AND still showed up, still swallowed his pride, and brought the inside scoop on Hybern to the meeting. Because,unlike Rhysand, he doesn't just care about the Spring Court (or 1 city in the Spring Court) he cares about all of Prythian.
Rhysands strategies to win the war: first we dress up as a distraction to steal the orb, then! We get invited to another court under false pretenses and steal a powerful book, then we beg human queens and our allies to please please like us while also being incredibly embarrassing.
Tamlin: here is intel I got. There are no strings attached to getting this information. I have forced Beron to join the war via a means that was probably very attractive.
rhysand is a dreamer but tamlin is a do-er
u forgot the part where rhysand spend 50 fucking years on amarantha’s side and got nothing
I really don’t like Rapesand but here’s a thought.
He wasn’t born with Illyrian wings 🪽
Yes I know you forgot that… he wasn’t born with them. So he conjoined himself one.
He grew up in the Illyrian community most of his life, So I know it messed him up. In a space where “wingspan” is considered “manly”
Amarantha also didn’t know who he was or remember him when she first took them hostage so how the fuck did she get her hands on your wings rapisandro? How? Unless he was using that as a pleasure tactic and it back fired as always 🤣
I think it’s time we women evaluate what we write in our books. We aren’t willing to tolerate men who won’t go all out for us but when the “nice guys” do it’s cringe. Yall don’t want flowers and a date anymore u want to fuck during a war? In a library? Is sex all there is? And a huge responsibility like a crown? You think you can be a sitting president? You think queens have it easy? I don’t think some understand how in real life we are striving for better and better men yet in our books it’s the opposite. We give men what they want. A 19yr old to a 500yr old. But in real life a man goes for a 19yr old and he’s 50 and it’s called grooming. Mind u these books are written by older women too it’s crazy…. We should do better honestly… I will keep advocating for change. If a girl is that age the guy should be no less than 25.
I want to add to this again. Stop feeding these men online who you think relates to a fantasy book guy you read about.
Just recently the Ryan manick a guy APPARENTLY in the beginning hated when women were comparing him to a book too character all of a sudden embraced it because he was getting more followers. To the point where he was about to do a live reading which will obviously have delulu girls send him money. If the the author Penelope Douglas had not stepped in he would’ve gotten away with it and i made a comment that WE THE WOMEN are the reason he has that audacity to do so and I was told that it was his fault instead. Make it make sense. I see a woman cosplay as Nesta and she barely gets views, next I see a man dressed as a bat and oh he’s Rhys he’s CAs he’s Az etc then millions of followers and cashing out.
I saw this guy too all of a sudden he’s cassian now he has so many girlies listing after him and a TikTok check every week.
A fantasy we create for ourselves STILL have men on the forefront. When women started writing books it wasn’t easy because of the scrutiny they were in. Men STILL to this day tell me how unrealistic books are and women feed into it that’s why normal men aren’t chosen (5”8, average looking etc) that’s their perception.
Let us gate keep our spaces please…
We love our men but unless he’s an author he needs to work hard to be here not cus he looks like someone.
