Please be honest with what Zodiac sign you truly have!

[quetzalrofl]

Fright Knight raises the Soul Shredder skyward. "You have my sword." Skulker brandishes an arm-mounted arbalest with his own promise of loyalty. "And you have my bow." The ghostly fellowship turns their eyes to Ember, who finds herself wondering how these two turned out to be bigger nerds than Poindexter.

Quick Sketch of my main characters Ar-Tashk and Alaesia in a scene from my fic.

I really wanted to capture the intense, feral fear Alaesia was feeling during this chapter. She is engulfed in an all-consuming, oppressive darkness, threatening to swallow her up if she so much as blinks; the only escape she can fathom is her in gaze, hollow, intense, and hopeless.

And yet, Ar-Tashk, the trollish monster wrapping his arms around her to help her calm down, shares none of her foreign, human emotions. He looks down upon the puny, frail thing, lost in deep contemplation, sowing the seeds of doubt in the brutal, power-hungry life he has lived thus far.

(The scale difference between these two is probably exaggerated here to amplify the representation of Alaesia's feelings of being overwhelmed by this great hulking beast of an olog. Also because I suck at scale.)

I don't think I can swing a sci-fi retelling of a Rosemary Sutcliff novel.

And YET.

"Oh, Rhys will be fine, Cassian," Ember said. "Rhysand will be fine? The guy who brings darkness incarnate-" "He and Randall bonded about being overprotective dads," Ember said.

[stargirlfeyre]

Saying Rhys was wrong for how he handled Nesta giving away the trove because he reminded Ember of her abuser is just…laughable.

Ember yelling at him because she felt that a poor woman was being victimized by a Fae male speaks to her not Rhys. Especially since this case did not mirror hers. Again Ember projecting her trauma onto Rhys is not his responsibility. He is not in the wrong for how he handled a grown woman putting his family in danger simply because his reaction made someone (who wasn’t even supposed to be in his court) uncomfortable. He does not know Ember therefore he does not have to tailor his reaction to a situation as severe as this to appease a literal stranger.

She had a surface level understanding of the situation and that caused her to go off. Because she doesn’t know these people and quite frankly doesn’t fully understand the situation, that caused her to jump to her own conclusions and see Nesta as a victim. That doesn’t mean that Nesta was the victim or that Ember yelling at Rhys should be taken seriously by his fans. This is just her perspective which is biased because she doesn’t understand what’s going on.

Her actions are literally the equivalent of walking up to a group of strangers on the street who are arguing and picking a side based on your outside point of view. You have no full understanding of the situation, you don’t know the history of these people, the type of relationship they have, why each side is upset, etc. But you still choose a side because you feel as if that side is a victim of something. That doesn’t mean the opposing side are the ones in the wrong when it comes to this argument.

Y’all are asking his fans to take the ramblings of a random woman who is projecting her trauma onto him seriously and are getting upset because we’re not.

I thought ACOSF was meant to be a healing arc for Nesta, but in both the beginning of the book and in HOFAS her face was described as vacant.

ACOSF:

Her eyes slid down to the red stones. And when they again lifted to his face, the unholy fire in her stare was gone. Replaced by something so dead and vacant it was like gazing into the unseeing eyes of a fallen soldier on a battlefield. He'd seen crows pick at eyes that dead.

HOFAS:

Rhysand loomed like a roiling storm in the center of the room. Even the fire seemed to cringe from him. Nesta stood a few feet away, blue-gray eyes wary - no hint of that silver flame. She clenched her hands, but her face was nearly vacant. The handsome, broad-shouldered male at her side was thin-lipped with concern - or anger. Maybe both.

Nothing in that Ember bonus chapter sat right with me. And maybe it's because I don't feel like Nesta fully healed at the end of ACOSF, but I just think Ember was the one holding Nesta together, and when she went back to Midgard, I can see Nesta falling apart.

Nesta said at the end of ACOSF that as long as Cassian was by her side, she wouldn't fall again because Cassian wouldn't let her. But in the Ember bonus chapter, it's clear that Cassian was not by her side, he did not have her back, and he did absolutely nothing to defend her.

I can see Nesta heading into that dark place that she occupied in ACOFAS and ACOSF, but instead of drinking and sleeping around, this time she goes off on her own to figure out why the eight-pointed star was tattooed on her. And Cassian has to come to the realization that Nesta needs him more than he realizes and that he needs to defend her and back her decisions even if he doesn't fully agree with them, and that he has to be fully devoted to her - and not Rhysand.
