What SHOULD have happened during the High Lord meeting

Beron moved to the Lady of Autumn's seat, resting a hand on her shoulder. The same arm that now bore a bright scar. She did not so much as flinch, but her hand tightened around Eris's wrist.

"You have injured my wife, viciously attacked my heir, and made an attempt on my life. These are acts of war, little girl. Perhaps your mate should have done better filling you with knowledge of politics and common sense rather than vile seed!"

"Beron!"

"I have spoken my piece!" he snarled in answer to Thesan's snap. Beron turned back to the Night Court and pointed his finger.

"Too long have we endured the arrogance of this insolent half-breed. Well. No longer." Beron spat out the words, "This meeting was the last straw in a bale of thousands. As High Lord of Autumn, I declare war on Night."

The ripple was instantaneous.

"Father, are you certain of this?" Eris murmured.

But Beron did not answer his son. His gaze was fixed on Rhys's frozen face. The male recovered quickly, a sneer forming on his lips.

"What matter is it of mine whether you wage war on us or not? We both know your forces are nothing in comparison to Night's."

Beron's face turned thunderous, and he opened his mouth to reply when a voice cut through, sharp and clear.

"Spring will stand with you, Lord Beron."

Rhys barked out a laugh, relaxing "Oh? With what army?"

Tamlin merely smiled, unsheathing those deadly claws and letting them gleam in the steady candle light.

"I don't need one. I killed one High Lord of Night before. I can do it again."

I would like to remind all the Tamlin haters that if it weren’t for Tamlin, Rhysand would be dead.

DEAD DEAD DEAD!!

He could have just gone home immediately after the war and said “sucks to suck” but no, he gave the last kernel of life to Feyre and said “be happy”

And Rhysand repays him by constantly trespassing onto Spring Court land and tries to get Tamlin to kill himself

Who is the bigger male here?

@nestaarcheronweek Day 3 - Self Care

Self care is calling your sister's bluff and moving away from the Night Court instead of to the House of Wind.

Listen, I fully believe if Nesta and Tamlin got to compare notes on how the NC treats them they could have bonded. And it would be hilarious.

Bonus twitchy Tamlin reaction picture free to use.

Second one too. I'm generous like that.

[thrumbolt]

I continue to find it absolutely wild how much shit Tamlin gets for UTM. Not just from the fandom in general but also Feyre and Rhys in book 2.

Imagine blaming the person you went to rescue for not rescuing you when things turn as bad as everyone told you they would.

[wingsdippedingold]

You wanna know how I know that Tamlin hatred makes 0 sense?

Someone made a tik tok about what cars the ACOTAR characters would drive and everyone got a normal car. Tamlin got a cyber truck with “no explanation needed”

TAMLIN???? CYBER TRUCK??? Y’all will really just push any negative stereotype onto him as if he’s the quintessential evil man.

The High Lord of SPRING?? The guy associated with nature? The one Y’ALL SAY IS TOO TRADITIONAL would drive a metal abomination??? 😭

Be so fr he’s riding a fucking horse

[dippedinmelancholy]

Do you ever think how absolutely furious Rhysand had to have been when Amarantha tricked him and all the other High Lords save Tamlin, and Tamlin was the the only one given a path to freeing his court? Cause recently it’s all I’ve been thinking about.

Rhysand who has manipulated everything and everyone for most of his life, who undoubtedly could have easily seduced a mortal, even without mental powers, convincing her to say I love you within days, a month max. Yet it was Tamlin who was given the opportunity.

Good, honorable, brooding Tamlin who doesn’t bother to lie, who barely knows how to talk to anyone. Tamlin who is fury and passion and strength, who is exactly as he presents himself, who cares for nothing save for protecting his own people because they need them.

Rhysand is suave and sexy and shadow, he is manipulation and seductive whispers, he is dark power incarnate . . . and yet the vile, powerful general of Hybern wants Tamlin. She doesn’t even truly care for Rhysand in any capacity, Rhysand uses what is “left” of his powers to mind fuck her, literally, to make her believe she wants more of him, to make her think the sex is better than it was.

And yet even in being successful in doing that, no matter how good she falsely believes the sex is, she still only has eyes for Tamlin.

This isn’t me setting up Amarantha to be madly in love with Tamlin. She wanted him as a child, she’s gross and horrible. Brilliant and powerful, but utterly disgusting.

No, I just keep thinking about the insane amount of jealousy Rhysand must have felt, so many layers of it you can barely count them all. Rhysand could have broken the curse quickly enough, I truly believe that, but the reason isn’t because he’s more powerful than Tamlin. No, the reason is because he’s earnestly so much WORSE than Tamlin.

Rhysand will gladly break, torture, destroy and lie to any person to get what he wants, especially when he thinks its for the greater good. Their pain is nothing compared to what he thinks needs to be done.

But Tamlin is GOOD. He is honor bound. He is a man drowning in his own empathy, in his own duty. That is why it took him so long, and in truth, why he failed to break the curse on himself. He loved his court too much to allow so much pain, valued their lives so much they begged him to die for him. Everyone in his court is equal to him, every life deeply valuable.

Rhysand would have destroyed the Illyrians or the Hewn City whole cloth without flinching to protect Velaris.

Amarantha didn’t care about Rhysand beyond fleeting pleasure and maybe revenge if you believe Rhysand’s story. She wasn’t drawn to him because he was already dark and terrible. Already corrupted by power, with no lines he wouldn’t cross. He delighted in killing and torturing for her, again and again.

She was obsessed with Tamlin because he was good. Good and bright and handsome and honorable. Rhysand was little more than a mirror of cruelty.

Day 3 of @officialrhysandweek - Loved ones

Rhysand never expected his sister to warm up so quickly to the Spring boy when he invited him to the Night Court for the first time...

[geniemillies]

do u think he likes 2 sunbathe.... AND NO HIS HAIR STILL POOFY AFTER EMERGING FROM WATER, i rlly stopped drawing straight hair tamin and never looked bAcK

[dedolubka]

I will never forgive sjm for forgetting about Tamlin's musical talent and trashing him. You can mock his violin playing all you want, but the fact remains that he's the only musical fairy in the entire saga.

You know.... Fairies.

Who are known for dancing and singing in the meadows and can dance a mortal to death. In the case of ACOTAR, they can only fuck a mortal to death.

update: In my anger I forgot about dancing Nesta. There is also singing Gwyn. And that's it, I can't remember anyone else.

[viktoriaashleyyx]

Remember when, after they returned from UTM, Feyre and Tamlin agreed to not discuss UTM so Tamlin called a trusted female friend (misplaced trust for sure, but he did believe he could trust her) to ensure Feyre would have SOMEONE to talk to if she chose to. And she did.

His fiance was publicly assaulted night after night and while he was also struggling to heal, he still tried to connect her with someone. He knew she didnt have any friends in the human lands. He tried to help in the way he knew how, while also respecting her wishes to not discuss it with him.

While Ianthe turned out to be a bad person, Tamlin making sure Feyre had women to talk to (Ianthe and Alis) after surviving sexual assault was probably the best thing an SJM man has ever done.

Better than the ricebitch throwing a tempertantrum when she brought it up.

[achaotichuman]

Tamlin about to obliterate a room- *Deep breath* "You know what I feel like Lucien? RENOVATING"

Tamlin about to throw a desk through a wall- "You know Lucien, I feel like this room needs an OPEN CONCEPT"

Tamlin about to smash every single window he can see- "You know Lucien, I feel like we need more NATURAL LIGHT"

Part 2 of my Tamlin and Nyx mating bond adventures

Nyx is a sweet lil guy who has never known hardship.

Tamlin can already hear everybody yelling at him.

I like to think Tamlin secretly enjoys being around someone who doesn't hate him for once.

[yaralulu]

I get so stupidly mad whenever someone says the real reason Lucien didn’t do “more” in acomaf is because he was afraid of…being thrown out of Spring...????

WHERE are we getting this idea that Tamlin would KICK Lucien out of Spring if he did something out of line?? Like people will talk about Lucien being a refugee in Spring as if Tamlin is just dangling that fact in his face 24/7. “Yeah Lucien I can kick you out at any moment if you do something I don’t like because you’re a Refugee so stay tf in line”. LIKE??? Does that sound like Tamlin to you??? Does that sound like how he treats literally anyone?? If anything Tamlin has probably spent decades trying to convince Lucien that Spring is just as much his home as any other person there. But sure Lucien spent all of acomaf terrified of being DEPORTED bc Tamlin is that evil. I need this idea evaporated from people’s minds I’m so sick of it.

[extremely-judgemental]

With all due respect to everyone who wanted Feyre to look into Tamlin's mind to confirm his story, allow me to remind you that he was Rhysand's friend for years and trained by him before their fall out. Feyre, even if she had come up with the idea to do so, wouldn't have succeeded.

Tamlin is actually such an underrated character in acotar. Because of feyres very biased narrative she forces readers to ignore the complexity of his character and man. its sad

Tamlin is a character who is genuinely GOOD at his core. He changed so much of the spring court for good, eliminating slavery within the spring lands and mortals having more protection. Hes a morally good character that made a few mistakes and is boiled down to just those mistakes. Locking feyre in the house and the magical/emotional blow up, which are both pretty decent fuck ups (i dont think siding with hybern fully counts as he was a double agent all along and tamlin was decently justified in thinking feyre was being kept against her will. lets be fr here) and even after he’s extremely fucked over by the nightcourt, his lands and court burned to shit, he still saves rhysand. Saves rhysand and tells feyre to be happy, even when he has every reason to NOT do that!

Hes a character that clearly holds himself to a higher standard. throughout acotar he puts lucien and feyres safety above his own, even sending feyre away when she was the only one who could save him. Even though what he did to her wasnt great its not completely irredeemable, rhysand did much worse things to feyre and other people but hes living his best life while Tamlin seems to find himself unworthy of being a person (acosf wheres hes been in beast form for roughly over two years) hes a perfectionist who now doesnt even think he deserves anyone because he accidentally hurt the people he loves most.

Sjm accidentally created a beautifully rich and morally righteous character who is so extremely fucked by the narrative. Which doesnt even work half the time as sjm cant seemingly commit to making him a full villain (seemingly by accident again she gave him quite a reasonable explanation to everything he did ‘wrong’ but still chooses to make him a punching bag)

If Tamlin was genuinely a morally evil character he wouldnt have NEARLY the amount of fans as he does. Hes a character that requires the minimum amount of media literacy and comprehension to understand and i LOVE him.
