I forced myself to watch episode 9 of Star Wars because I haven’t seen it since I watched in theatres.

I still can’t forgive the plot, but the two seconds we got of Ben Solo as his fathers son rather than Darth Vader’s heir was worth watching the whole movie for 🥲

This book is truly awful

How dare you rip my heart out after I just started liking you 😭

[sourgrapefox]

Okay so CC1 actually got interesting—IT ONLY TOOK NEARLY 70 CHAPTERS

For a book that mentions sex every couple of pages the smut is lacking—gimme some fucking spice!

But leave out the toes.

Please god leave out the toes.

Don’t hate me but I can’t tell if he is attractive—it might just be the tattooed chaos chef vibe but when he turns his head it’s giving Kermit the Frog and I cannot.

i refuse to believe this is how y'all look at your platonic work acquaintances. wholeheartedly, no lmao.

Just when I was starting to like Bryce and Hunt and get into the ship—he just had to go and spoil it all by saying something stupid ABOUT TASTING HER TOES

This third book better be with it babes.

[sourgrapefox]

I finally got into Crescent City after forcing myself to listen to the audio book—I’m wishing that the first part of the book explained the world and houses and all the politics of the world the species and such—a history lesson of you will—before the story begins because every scene and exchange of dialogue is interrupted by constant world building.

I love hearing about the character’s pasts in these pauses in action but I swear by the time the scene continues I’ve forgotten what they were even talking about half the time.

In short Midgard for Dummies should be the first book in the series.

After a heated discussion with a coworker I’ve come to the conclusion that Feyre is the Frodo of acotar. That’s all.

[sourgrapefox]

Also everyone shits on Nesta for how she treated Feyre when they were all poor starving humans, but forget Elain did the same thing? Nesta was demonized for not helping and sending her youngest sister out in the woods to hunt, but Elain did the exact same thing. Not to mentions she spends the money Feyre gave her in the first book from the wolf pelt on a new dress or something like that? When you know she could have bought some seeds to grow to actually eat instead of fucking flowers. She abused Feyre in the same way, she just wasn’t a bitch about it, and got off scott free while the inner circle blamed Nesta entirely for the whole situation while Elain was coddled because “she was thrown in the cauldron too”.

Elain is very much the same villain as Nesta was in the first three books, just with a sweet innocent disposition. Nesta redeemed herself however after taking a lot from the inner circle and her inner demons. Sure Elain killed the big bad but we never see her apologize or atone for what she did to Feyre.

Feyre has two older sisters that watched her risk her life, who never took care of her, fuck they couldn’t even reach her to read. Everyone seems to forget that.

Hi ghostie this is kinda out of nowhere but I’ve been wanting to ask you a question. So idk if I’m totally tripping or if I saw that you don’t really like Elain in acotar and I just wanna know the reasoning behind it.

I feel like I see so much hate on her character (I absolutely think she and nesta were shitty for the way they treated feyre throughout their whole childhood I’m not excusing that) and I might be completely wrong but I feel like so many people hate her because she’s not like nesta and feyre where they’re literal warriors and are strong hearted and brave. And before anyone attacks me I love all three sisters (nesta a little less because man she could be a fucking bitch to everyone for the stupidest shit a lot which had to do with depression and low self worth but sometimes it was just uncalled for but I’m hoping she’ll be better in the future books).

I’m a middle child and have a younger and older sister and it’s kinda crazy because I can see our personalities match the archeron sisters although the book personalities are more exaggerated my older sister is not that bad trust me, but I definitely see their bravery and strong hearts and stubbornness and can see them as warriors even if none of us can fight for shit lol. I genuinely feel like I relate more to elain with her kindness and compassions being the leading traits she has (I don’t do plants I love painting though anything artsy is my thing). I’m not a very brave person and I tend to be the one who mediates in any arguments and it makes me wildly anxious to be around when I’m with people who are fighting or arguing. I’ve also always had low self esteem and it’s hard for me to set boundaries with others because I’ve always been a people pleaser and tried to do anything to avoid upsetting others (I’m working on it and I’d say I’m better than a few years ago).

My sisters have “jokingly” called me weak mentally, physically, and emotionally because I’ve had depressive/anxious episodes where they sometimes find me crying in my moms arms because I wasn’t really good at managing my emotions (I feel incredibly deeply sometimes it’s horrible but when I’m happy I’m ecstatic, also I grew up in a household where negative emotions were avoided being talked about so none of us were able to learn to regulate them when they got out of hand). I guess I just see a lot of similarities between myself and elain where it feels like they sometimes treat me like I’ll break at the slightest inconvenience while also low key despise me for being this way? I feel like I’ve come a long way since a year ago and I feel like im beginning to master myself and my emotions and am slowly but surely becoming more sure of myself and set boundaries. I wish I could be brave like them and I believe I’ll get there someday but I also don’t think that remaining kind and empathetic and compassionate despite witnessing so many terrible things makes me less of a person than them. They tend to just assume rather than to put themselves in another persons shoes (I’d catch myself doing the same sometimes but I’ve realized it’s usually to make me feel better about putting others down).

Im realizing now that this just turned into a venting session and I’m truly sorry for that I know you’ve been busy with Jiara week (very excited btw :)) and I know I shouldn’t let the way people feel about a character hurt me it’s dumb lol it just made me feel like shit for being so similar to a character a bunch of people hate. I hope you don’t think less of me for this but I would really like to know what you think of elain.

this was...this was a lot of a thursday morning ngl!

i hope you don't take my answer personally since elain is a fictional character and all of this is based towards her, but i just don't find her a very interesting character. i understand she isn't a warrior-type female character and she isn't the first one sarah j maas has written. elide and yrene are examples of characters who are more love than war and i adored them endlessly. they were well written and had so much personality beyond the fact they were kind.

elain just feels really superficial to me and maybe that will change with her book, but i honestly can't say i care all that much about her. in the first book, yes nesta was a bitch but at least she was something. elain had nothing going. then potential came after she had been turned and yet still she somehow managed to remain the most boring character in this series when she arguably has some of the coolest powers. i feel like its overlooked how much she hurt feyre as well just because she is kind. as well as the fact that she just overlooks how much nesta protected her, not because she was made of glass but because she loved her.

the lucien stuff also kinda puts a bad taste in my mouth. i think stringing him along and not giving him a chance whilst also not making a decision is just a bit shitty. yes, she was traumatised and went through a lot but she also had no reason to be so hostile towards him when she was so kind to everyone else? like at least nesta was self-destructive with all her relationships, not just one.

anyways, i hope that answered your question!

I may be late to the party but I had the sudden realization that JJ did not care about the treasure for the entire season--even when they were stealing the "cross" back from the train--he only cared about Kie--because she was the true treasure all along. 😭😭
