Sorry I'm on a bit of a haterade streak today but I've got more frustrations with SJM as an author:

All of these descriptions are about either villains or POCs. "Not beautiful, but striking." Oooookkkk...interesting. Why you gotta say "not beautiful?" You could just say striking and stunning or something. But she goes out of her way to emphasize they're "not beautiful." Huh.

Yo, could someone reblog or send screenshots of SJM's description when it comes to POC. Hasar, Isaiah (Crescent City). I already got a screenshot for Emerie and Sorscha.

Making a Tik Tok slideshow on this weird shit.

i have officially finished Heir of Fire

while i am broken and unlikely to heal, here are my current thoughts

- Rowan and Aelin are endgame and i was absolutely shooketh at the scene w Maeve and the BLOOD OATH

- “your people aren’t” bitch ok go off

- Rowan tattooing Aelin, yes ma’am thank u more please

- Sorscha

- i don’t even know what to say

- i am heartbroken

- and Dorian, i just-

- i am Shattered

- Aedion trying to protect the others even tho it meant giving himself up and giving the king leverage against Aelin is so Him and im reeling

- Chaol is Struggling and i feel the heaviness he carries

- Rowan and Aelin

- Bas the Bitching Buffoon u hurt my babie Luca and u paid the ultimate price

- bruh i was so afraid for Emrys and Malakai thank god they’re ok

- did i mention Rowan and Aelin??????

- Sorscha and Dorian, i-

- i literally don’t have the words

[queenoftiddies]

Can someone write me a Dorian x Sorscha fanfic, where it’s like a reincarnation, after like the trauma of…

Yk, Sorscha losing her head.

Like a future/ second life au, bc I need a happy ending for them.

"Then she looked at Dorian, whose eyes were indeed wide, his face bone-white. 'I was not supposed to love you. But I did. I do.'"

I hope I'm not the only one who thinks this

But:

The death of Sigrid 🤝 The death of Sorscha

Being incredibly random, brutally fast and with characters so recent in history that you don't know what to feel about them 💀

[inlovewithquotes]

Amithy drummer her long, bony fingers on the wooden desk. "Forgive me for being indelicate," she said, but Sorscha knew the woman didn't care about manners. "But I'll also remind you that interacting with our patients outside of our duties is prohibited."

There could be no other reason for Prince Dorian to prefer Sorscha's services over Amithy's, of course. Sorscha kept her eyes on her clenched hands in her lap, still flecked with cuts from some of the small shards of glass. "You needn't worry about that, Amithy."

"Good. I'd hate to see your position compromised. His Highness has a reputation with women." A little, smug smile. "And there are many beautiful ladies at this court." And you are not one of them.

Sorscha nodded and took the insult, as she always did and had always done. That was how she survived, how she had remained invisible all these years.

Sorry but I’m here to rant…I get so fckin mad when people hate on Manorian and say they were purely lust and had no real bond.They clearly have no reading apprehension because there are straight out lines in the books confirming the opposite and are mad Manorian is way hotter then their boring faves.Of course people have different tastes but I’ll never understand spreading hate and literal misinformations everywhere.I always report on these people…

Also how hooowww can they say they aren’t endgame after Dorian literally saying “There’s only one witch who will be my queen.”…Unbelievable…

THIS.

I can understand how people don’t connect to them because I don’t always connect to ships either, but I think they expect this intense romance like the other ships but their past/traumas don’t give them that luxury and I’m not saying the other ships don’t have that at as well but they allow themselves to open up sooner.

Does it start with some lust? Sure, but that’s not all it is.

(I’m gonna rant a bit)

Dorian is the only main character in the series to never say “I love you” outloud to someone and there’s a huge reason why. We know why Manon is so closed off and not wanting to be vulnerable, even with those she’s known for 100+ years, she doesn’t even say it until Abraxos in KOA.

For Dorian it seems like he’d be someone to say it but in ToG we hear how Dorian did fall for a “fiery” girl (Rosamund I think) and then she left and married another.

Then he falls for Celaena and is ready to “tear the world apart with his bare hands” and wants to tell her he loves her but she breaks it off with him and pushes him away and falls for his best friend (I am not faulting her, just saying what happened) again, making him feel like the second choice.

Then a few books later he finds comfort and love in someone different, someone softer and seemingly more open where he finally feels like he’s the first choice and she’s ripped away from him in one of the most brutal ways, by his own father, while he was helpless after literally BEGGING him to spare her.

Side note this just made me realize what Dorian meant by “I am never begging for anything again.” Because of that outcome, and OUCH

So now he’s had his heart broken over and over again and then immediately after, he’s a slave for months. Forced to torture and kill his friends, while being torn apart internally while he can do nothing about it. He can’t even remember who he was and relives her death over and over and the FIRST reprieve he has is this beautiful woman who gives him his voice and allows him to remember his name after what felt like eons to him.

Then he’s forced back into that darkness and pain when she’s gone, but he latches onto her and her name and holds on after saying he didn’t want to fight and when he was forced to enjoythe pain he caused. Manon thinks of him to pay her debt to Aelin, she thinks of him and can’t even think of why when she checks up on him in Rifthold.

Then in EOS she goes to save him, she feels a part of herself “wake up” at his half smile and his tone, the way he doesn’t balk and doesn’t fear her. She talks about how he has seen death and worse and has that dark part of him that was forced to enjoy it when he was collared and she relates to that because of what she learns about her past in EoS.

Then after everything, he goes to save her as she did with him, no thought of himself, sprinting across the ship and jumping into the ocean so she wouldn’t drown and when he sees that she looks intent on dying he pokes at her and teases her and tries to stoke something in her like she was able to do with him.

She also comforts him without needing to when he talks about how he enjoyed killing the Ilchen and was forced to enjoy killing while collared. Sure, she does it in the Manon way, but he bites right back in the Dorian way and THEN there’s the lust.

Then she sees that part of her that’s drawn to him more physically and let’s her guard down (physically).

Lysandra talks about how she is different and dangerous and everything Dorian shouldn’t want after what he has gone through but everything he needs. She doesn’t judge him, doesn’t pity him or coddle him. He says he’d raze the continent for what was done to Sorscha and Manon accepts and agrees and he’s relieved. We see that fierce protectiveness when he talks about wanting to take time and pleasure in killing her grandmother for hurting her and we see her say he tastes foreign yet familair and allows herself to be vulnerable for the first time in 100+ years.

We see in KoA that they do talk in depth about what his father did to him, what her grandma did to her, what happened to Sorscha and Manon’s sister. We don’t SEE these conversations but we know they happened because of context and the details that are said and I feel like people ignore this.

We see Manon at the most vulnerable she’s ever been, admitting that she cares and admitting she doesn’t want to lose him and how those hours waiting for him to come back on Narene we some of the longest of her life.

There are no grand romantic proclamations (out loud, but if you pay attention in their POVs and how Manon had to fight herself to not fly to morath, “to him” and “there is only one witch will be my queen”…we all know) but those lovey dovey, super open “I love yous “ and “sweet nothings” aren’t who they are.

Manon JUST started to understand that she was capable of caring and Dorian was burned too many times to allow that vulnerability again, he didn’t even open up to Chaol or Aelin at that point.

That’s not who they are and though they were growing to that point in the short time they, the love and care is still there, still in context if you pay attention.

They challenge eachother but listen and respect eachother and accept all aspects even if they don’t always agree and I LOVE their love and the way it’s not blatantly stated but in the nuances of their story.

Thanks for coming to my Ted talk. (I didn’t proofread this so oops)
