#King Dorian Havilliard

[acotardiaries]

So I am finally reading the throne of glass series and I’m currently tandem reading Empire of Storms and Tower of Dawn. I’ve been restraining myself from posting about it because I really don’t want any spoilers but I just have to say one thing:

They need to leave King Dorian Havillard alone…..

I’ve got to the part in EoS where Manon is a “prisoner” on their ship and Dorian went to see her one night. (Also that scene🥵) The next day Dorian’s like “we should let her out some” or something along those lines. And the way Aelin immediately shuts him down….infuriates me. Like he literally has to remind her that he’s just as much king as she is queen just for her to think of him as an equal. Also it pissed me off how everyone is so poised to defend Aelin (given they are her court) and yet no one (except Chaol in the southern continent) is there to defend Dorian. Like where is Dorian’s court?????

I just really felt the pain for Dorian in the moment cause it was almost like he couldn’t say a word without Rowan or Aedion or even like Fenrys at this point acting all defensive. Like why is Aelin’s word so sacred? Dorian’s even older than her and has been trained to be a king his whole life. I just really hated that they seemed to look down on Dorian and his opinion AND that it was like by the grace of god (being Aelin) that they even heard him out??? Like he hasn’t done anything to deserve that disrespect. If anything, he’s more good and pure than the rest of them and they’re looking down on him for it????

That’s my only rant I want to say before I’ve finished the whole series.

Thank you.

Is it Queen Manon? Lord Chaol? Queen Aelin? Ambassador Fenrys? Who knows? Not them

Maeve is an eons old demon queen and she got humbled by a 20 year old k*nky king with daddy issues and a 19 year old arsonist that just lost 99% of her power.

Another day, another slay for the all powerful book nerds 💅🏽

It cracks me up how every murderous hot character ever has a cool alias like "Night Triumphant", "White Demon", "The Queen Who Was Promised", "Shadow Queen", "Shadowsinger", "The Hind", "Wolf of the North"... and then there comes the cruel prince/wicked king, and he's just like:

why is murder everyone's solution to everything

In this time of toxicity from the Acotar fandom, I give you a palette cleanser. Here's some beautiful manorian art by some insanely talented artists (links to their Instagram post below the pics)

TOG and CC similarities

Has anyone else noticed that in TOG, Dorian is pushed to get engaged to Nehemia. She is the free spirited princess to her people. He is the crown prince to the most ruthless and egotistical king in their realm and is a partier and womanizer.

Then let’s look at CC. In the HOEAB, Ruhn and Hypaxia get engaged. Ruhn is the son of the autumn king who is more interested in gaining power than his son’s happiness, while Ruhn lives in his party house and drowns himself in drinks, drugs, and casual sex. Hypaxia was hidden away by her mother and is a strong and independent woman who longs to be normal.

Not to mention, both Ruhn and Dorian fall in love with women who are strong, independent, and ruthless. They both first fall for women who they consider to be soft (Ruhn with Hypaxia when she was an unknown healer and Dorian with Sorcha). When those relationships fall apart they both crave someone who is the opposite and end up falling for these women that are complicated and ultimately are fighting for their people while in disguise as the enemy. Both end up being double agents after being brainwashed and trained from birth to be evil weapons.

I know that SJM already said that Dorian and Lucien would be besties, and I can definitely see that now. What if you added Ruhn to that bestie mix? They SJM universe would never know what hit it.

Ruhn x lydia and Dorian and manon are on very similar trajectory so I am soooooo excited to see how CC3 plays out, especially since Lydia is our first POV 😍

Sorscha and Jesminda both beheaded by their lovers fathers.

Dorian and Lucien both bound. One by a collar and one by a mask.

Chaol and Tamlin both feel in love with fierce women. Than left by them. Also the most hated characters in their series.

Manon and Elain both run away from romantic love. Fae Elain not human. Does this mean Elain has Blueblood witch ancestry.

Chaol went on healing journey. What if Tamlin is cursed from everything. So he falls in love with a healer from dawn court.

Lucien and Elain are very similar to Manon and Dorian.

Hear me out. Dorian is besties with his friends ex. Lucien was besties with his friends ex.

Sjm has said both Dorian and Lucien would get along.

Both are considered rakes.

Than they both have feelings for a guarded iron walled female. Remember elain's mind is filled with unbloomed flowers and an iron gate. Manon iron teeth witch.

Abraxos loves flowers. We don't know the abuse Elain suffered from her grandma or mom . We only know Nesta and Feyre.

Nesta similar to asterin. Both abused by their grandma.

Both Dorian and Lucien told if I offered you the moon on a string.

The sad part is Elain could find friends like the thirteen. Though not warriors. They end up dying or the twins.

This is a crack theory. Though if you think really hard

I want to say Elain isn't a warrior type like Manon. Though she's similar in love matters. Not sex there's a difference. Both characters avoid feelings.

Dorian and Lucien both feel and love. Through the trauma from their fathers. Also what if Beron is under koschei's spell and has been for a while.

I hate Beron. I hated Dorian's dad too. He surprised me in the end.

The similarities between the characters. Albeit seem small. They exist. Asterin and her hunter. Similar to Cassian and Nesta. People say Manon is like Nesta. Nesta is similar to asterin. Grandma archeron would have beaten Nesta if she was pregnant with an unworthy man's baby. Also Nesta would never punish her sisters physically.

“My boy,” his father whispered again.

And it was love—love and pride and sorrow that shone in his face.

His father who had been possessed as he had, who had tried to save them in his own way and failed. His father, who had everything taken from him, but had never bowed to Erawan—not entirely.

Sorry but I just don’t think any relationships with Manon (malide or manorian) would’ve worked out when she saw marriage as a sacrifice. Also… How are we going to have the Lady of Perranth ruling over Perranth when Manon is Queen of the Witches? How are we going to have the King of Adarlan ruling over Adarlan when Manon is Queen of the Witches? Unless you’re planning on merging territories or convincing Manon marriage is not a sacrifice, there’s no relationship that would’ve worked out. Also could you ever see Manon binding her life to Dorian or Elide’s? No. Elide needs somebody who is utterly devoted to her and nobody else. Lorcan has no loyalty to a nation or a people; his only loyalty is to her and everything she stands for. He bound his life to her’s without hesitation. Dorian cares for Manon but he is not fully over Sorscha yet and he needs somebody who can stand beside him and rule Adarlan. Actually Chaorian would’ve worked better than Manorian.

In either case, Manon cannot be that person for them. Ultimately, she should end up single or with a character from the crossover (once she finally gets over the marriage is a sacrifice thing). And I believe that the reason Elide is NOT a witch is because she also has an untapped magic bloodline which she hasn’t discovered yet and witches don’t have magic.

Not me waiting the whole fucking time for the Autumn king to turn out like Dorian's father, the king of Adarlan, and suddenly become a father who had to be bad for some reason but actually loved his child(ren).

Like!

This bad parent trope SJM seems to be obsessed with is really boring the hell out of me.
