In ACOWAR during the meeting with Kier when he asks for his people to be free of the mountain, Feyre says “You have every comfort, and it’s still not enough?”

She had every comfort at Tamlin’s manor, and it still wasn’t enough for her…

#freethecourtofnightmares2024

One thing that really pisses me off about the Court of Nightmares is how SJM writes it so black and white. The entire court, not just Keir, is evil and conniving. There was a part in ACOWAR where he says he is going to let the CoN go to Velaris but he told all of the vendors and business owners to refuse service to not just Keir, but all of the CoN. And this paints the entire court in this black and white lense.

Not a single person in that court is a dreamer like Mor? She was the only fucking one?

I think there can be a little bit of nuance to the situation where a significant portion of the court is just bad because they have been festering in the dark for so long, but guess who's fault is that?? It's the leader's fault, the one who keeps the court up and running, aka the High Lord, aka Rhys.

Rhys says he wants change. That he wants to show the world that he's good. But he continues to keep the Court of Nightmares up and running, he keeps Keir as herald.

"Oh this court is so awful and sadistic," Feyre thinks as she sits on the throne with a crown on her head and with Rhys holding her hand.

And Rhys says "the Court of Nightmares just rules itself" and sure, I guess that's true, but as High Lord, you have the ability to put a stop to that and pull out the bad weeds. But instead, you keep it running to further your agenda and to keep your evil mask on.

Getting mad at Keir for slutshaming your lover and breaking his arm is not enough. Restricting access to Velaris is not enough. Even telling the Court "you guys are bad >:C " is not fucking enough.

Rhys the most powerful High Lord who killed all of the Illyrian war bands who sided with Amarantha after UTM, yet he can't do the same to the CoN?

Rhys and Feyre and the IC label the entire CoN as evil without trying to find the forgotten dreamers, and they continue to keep the court up and running and making the excuse that "it's too hard" despite their power and influence. It means they don't care. Or that Rhys maybe fucking enjoys it.

It also means that SJM (so far) has no idea what she's doing and can't understand the situation she wrote in her own series.

And this brings me to comparing Nesta being locked up, the CoN and its dreamers being locked up, and Feyre being locked up. Is SJM intending this irony and hypocrisy of the IC? I sure hope so because I swear it's the most obvious comparision ever, but it confuses me because a large majority of the ACOTAR fanbase doesn't get it. "Oh well the CoN is evil! They have to keep them contained and Rhys can't do a whole lot as High Lord because the Court rules itself." And the most frustrating argument: "Nesta was addicted to sex and alcohol, she needed to be rehabilitated! It's for her own good!"

They don't see the irony of how the IC treats Nesta because Tamlin also did what he did for Feyre's own good. It was to protect her, keep her safe. Not saying it was 100% good and right, but why are we not understanding that what the IC did to Nesta was not 100% good and right either?

‼️‼️

If you're having trouble keeping up with what's going on in Palestine because of US news coverage of university protests, here are some articles you can read and a video you can watch:

While CNN & all the other mainstream media try to paint the university protests as "pro terrorism" (which they're not, they're literally anti-war protests.) Palestinians are being slaughtered by the minute.

Please don't stop speaking about Palestine.

The IC are not Feyre’s friend, they’re Rhysand’s friends and would pick him over her any day of the week (just look at ACOSF). It’s quite sad that the only friend that Feyre has, Lucien, is being pushed away by herself.

Cassian in ACOFAS:

“Talk to me. Nesta. Tell me—”

ACOSF:

Elain leaned forward. “You only think you know—you haven’t seen her on the dance floor. That’s when Nesta truly lets the wolf roam free. When there’s music.”

“Really?” Nesta had told him once, when he’d dragged her out of a particular seedy tavern, that she’d been there for the music. He’d ignored her, thinking it an excuse.

Cassian: “Talk to me”

Nesta: *opens up to Cassian for once about why she’s apprehensive about the mating bond*

Cassian:

snarls at her to the point where people give them a wide berth on the bridge

rages loud enough for people to hear it across the river

can’t empathize with why the forcibly made fae is still clinging onto her humanity

tells her he didn’t have a choice in being shackled to her

nesta being recognized/feared as a death god while her goals in life are to eat chocolate cake and read smut with her girls is hilarious to me

Yes, of course, we should throw this person into the Court of Nightmares when we see her suffering after a war which killed her father and nearly killed her too. Right after she was thrown into the Cauldron and turned fae against her will.

Yes, of course, I'll even have the nerve to suggest locking her up in the dungeons of Hewn City. But kicking her out of the court and banishing her to the human lands where her kind is killed on sight will also do. Heck, I'll even make up laws for it.

Yes, of course, I'll agree with you when you suggest that we ought to put her on house arrest, make her train and make her work in the library for 0 salary to help her control herself.

CLEARLY, this person is an irredeemable monster with a wretched, black soul.

And when she falls down a fleet of stairs, I'll just watch. And tease her the next day.

Have a good day! 😇

ps - I try not to sound very harsh here but I'm just too annoyed to care right now. I might delete this later!

Shout out to all the Black ppl that can no longer participate directly in the fandom they love because of the stresses of racism 👍🏾 you contain multitudes of value and I'm sorry that the color of your skin and the power of your voice makes people not want to acknowledge that.

She didn't want to be a trophy broodmare wife 🥺

Feyre's story being done at aged 22 when she is now ageless is so sad. rip feyre from acotar you'd hate being a tradwife

This is a man who values fit physical attractiveness and Rhysand-dickriding above all else. He literally has no hobbies or interests.

"Cassian had heard enough. He wanted to return home—to the House, to Nesta. His fierce, beautiful mate, who had saved his High Lord and Lady and their son. He’d never stop being in awe of her, and all she had done. How far she’d come." - This from the man who never said (or thought) he loved her

What about anything beyond your physical attraction to her and her being utilized by the night court?

What about how she dances, her selflessness, her love of cake, her love of music, her expressions, her snark, how she stands her ground, her perseverance, how she loves her people so much that she calculated the exact measure it would take to help them, how good her heart really is, how she loves and wishes to be loved?

Me remembering when Nesta let the Inner circle stay in their house for FEYRE and then when said Inner circle started berating her sisters FEYRE sat there and didn’t say anything.
