A lot of folks in this here community are not emotionally mature enough for the books they choose to consume. 14/15 year olds should not be reading adult books and sharing their hot takes as if they are genuinely picking up what the book is putting down
Like if it’s a romance, I want spice. If it’s a fantasy, I want romance in it it. If it’s a crime novel, I’ll be honest… I want romance in that too. If it’s historical fiction, I want romance. If it’s a mystery, I want romance.
I’m a simple girl
So… they make Mor to the side like she wasn’t in 4 books… put Elain at the bottom barely in view… and put the librarian in the middle at the top like she’s one of the main protagonists beside Amren? Who doesn’t even know who that lady is
AND WHERE IS EMERIE? HELLO?
A court of bright shadows
A court of bright eyes
A court of bright bitches
A court of bright skies
A court of bright hair
A court of bright roses
A court of bright bread
A court of bright futures
A court of bright nights
A court of bright secrets
A court of bright love
I am a ROMANCE reader, okay, my brain is wired to enjoy romance plots or subplots in books the most, it’s what I look for, okay, and yes it’s sometimes annoying to get bored easily without a romance angle but is it my fault? Yes! Will I change that? No
Nesta’s book ruined this fandom, I’m gonna be honest with y’all. I feel like there’s like 4 sane Nesta stans and the rest are loony, because they trash the original series and shit on everything but Nesta and it’s weird. I need sjm to remind them what’s what asap pls & thank yew
This needs to be listened to an absorbed bc although the girlbossing and the armour and swords is great, softness doesn’t need to be so violently ignored.
(No because how is it every other author can announce their book titles or book couples or even book PLOTS, and sjm is sitting there silent……………….. this feels so rude rn, like I bought your books ma’am? Open up IG an announce the next mf title??????? Now??????)
Feyre and Elain suffer/suffered quietly. They planted smiles on their faces, pushed themselves to be understanding, polite and kind. Their struggle with their trauma is not less than because Nesta liked to shout, scream and verbally assault everyone every chance she got.
ACOTAR pairings:
This is not a discussion, so if you don’t agree- cry to a parent or guardian ❤️
• Feyre + Rhysand
• Nesta + Cassian
• Elain + Azriel
• Amren + Varian
• Mor + Emerie
Thank yew ✨
Why do people even want a redemption arc for that nasty little man tamlin…? as if we all weren’t present when he exposed what feyre was like during intimate moments in high lords meeting? Locked her in the house despite her evident distress??
Are y’all OKAY? That man SUCKS
I’m actually so bored of the bad ass female mc, I’m so sorry y’all…. The sword swinging / “stabby”, rude, self sacrificing to the point it’s a fault, cocky type of female mc I just cannot stand right now…. And I don’t even know why, like how disappointing
Tbh if y’all genuinely cared about world issues / diversity in books / representation etc, you would spend more time hyping up authors who tick those boxes for you and less time making threads about authors that apparently don’t and are “problematic”… js
“Just bc a man is nice to you, does not mean he’s interested in you romantically or sexually.”
From the bonus chap, we know who Azriel is romantically & sexually interested in. The fact she has to say this so carefully just shows she knows certain stans are gonna get upset.
Nesta would still be drinking and living in that lil apartment rotting in self destruction if her family didn’t push her to sort herself out. Y’all really act like she was a boss who could do it all on her own when she was fighting for her damn life & her family was worried sick.
If this ends up being true I will write a whole Elriel book w a subtle background of acotar for the girlies that know, they’ll know. I’ll change the names, then publish it myself.
No but she said what she said. Women on booktwt / booktok have some of the worst symptoms of raging internalised misogyny I’ve seen in a long while. Some of y’all refuse to see it and it’s so sad
It actually annoys tf out of me whenever I see people being nasty & rude about romance / spice in books. Y’all need to let go of the mindset that sex = bad. If spice & romance isn’t what you want in a story, just find something else & stop turning it into a ‘problem’ ffs. Grow up
The bonus chapter confirmed elriel but I think deliberately planted some doubt, but not in the way that so many thought. The doubt for Elriel is rhysand, not gwyn. The librarian is a plot devise, not a love interest. Rhysand is the obstacle
Story book titles for the acotar couples
• Night triumphant and stars eternal (feysand)
• lady death and Lord of bloodshed (nessian)
• Death and his lovely Fawn (Elriel)
• Bird of Flame and Lord of Fire (vassian)
And that’s it
As if Elain, as if they ALL, hadn’t been through enough Nesta really went and acted like she was the only one going through shit in acosf… her behaviour was so FOUL😭 I’m so sorry to my moots to relate to her, ily, but I thought some shit she did was so foul
I just would like to study why ACOTAR has such a hold on us… is it because of the waiting? The characters? The world? The plot? Like mother fucker what IS IT?
IMO if you’re a Feyre, Rhys or Elain anti I’m assuming you have a ‘I’m not like other girls’ complex that you’re struggling with. Because there is no logical reason to dislike any of them and if you do, i hope you find peace w your insecurities 🫶🏼
The way Elain is excluded from every ACOTAR project run by fandom artists these days is exhausting
Can’t get excited for shit, bc here comes even more appreciation for the valkcahooie squad, yay. So interesting, so fun.
Acosf was the worst thing that happened to this fandom.
Also this pregnancy discourse in the fandom… y’all do realise that Sjm — if she wanted to give Elriel babies — that the child could just be wingless bc they would be half fae / half Illyrian? She wouldn’t repeat the plot of feyre’s pregnancy problems twice.
Imagine genuinely thinking sjm is gonna waste her own time and mental energy building up a couple in the background of four books, just to switch up last minute & have some random pairing instead. Not to be rude but if y’all can’t follow the authors direction… what are you doing
Can you imagine if sjm revealed an Elriel pregnancy in CC2 but like made it super subtle… like Bruce describing Elain in the garden weeding with her lil belly, Azriel standing watch, glowering at everyone that gets too close, and she notices how protective he is
It’s the fact romance as a genre itself is SO versatile. You can pair it with absolutely any other genre and it’s just beautiful. I love love, I love romance. I love how love stories can be written a thousand different ways
“Soulmates were once described as ancient opposites. Sound and silence. Chaos and Order. With one great power, must come another. A dream and a nightmare. You… and him.”
🌿my very FIRST commission by the great
@seijousai
of my characters Bane & Dove 🕊️💫
The way sjm had everyone in the IC notice how close Elain and Azriel were getting and had them all comment on it throughout all the books is and forever will be a mAJOR hint that Elriel is end game. I’m just here to tell y’all that rn
No guys, the reason Elain and Azriel won’t be endgame is because sjm had them meet and almost kiss as night, and night happens when it’s dark, and darkness symbolises evil, so therefore? Lucien is better bc his dad is helion. Helion= day. JUST LISTEN IM RIGHT
If we don’t get elains book in the next year or so… I’m afraid imma lose interest with the series like… there’s only so long one can wait before this shit gets tedious I’m ngl
if even BLOOMSBURY the company that’s been silent for 2+ years about this finally shares an article of Sarah speaking about Elain’s book being next one then I think we all can stop calling it Azriel’s book, right? She did say it was pretty obvious who the next book is about.
The way gwyn stans beg to have her up with the main characters of the series is getting embarrassing. You can like her and accept she’s a side character who has done her part in the series. Like? Just let her rest in her library, she’s done her bit omg.
I think sjm is low key bored of the acotar series for now. She loved the characters but the plot maybe isn’t it for her anymore. CC is and probably will be the main focus of her attention at least the next couple of years
Imagine telling people who ship a foreshadowed couple (who have romantic coding & canon scenes), that they’re delusional… when you obsess over one line in a bonus chapter and your whole “ship” is based off imagination and commissioned fan art
Have your guys noticed each ACOTAR couple gets a title… I can’t remember feysands or nessians well but for the most recent couples it’s “death and his lovely fawn” for Elriel and “a bird of flame and lord of fire” for Vassian. Like they all have a TITLE is that makes sense
