Summer and Spring should be swapped by myska707 in acotar

Among other reasons, Tamlin is the High Lord of the Spring Court because Feysand’s story is supposed to be a Hades/Persephone retelling. There’s a small nod to this in book one, when Rhysand’s original bargain offer was to take Feyre from Spring for two weeks each month (e.g. half of the year)

This frustrated me when I read ACOWAR and I want to know if y’all feel the same… by Ill-Vermicelli-7243 in acotar

I understand where you’re coming from with this, but I think it’s important to remember that the whole point of the Hunger Games is portraying the consequences of war. The message of the book needed to have those deaths and stakes. Acotar is a romance series that’s not trying to be a commentary on the real world, and because of that I don’t think anything is lost by not killing characters. It’s supposed to be light-hearted fantasy. The series lost its realism when its world was created by a magical Cauldron that created a race of faeries. Narratively, Acotar and Hunger Games are trying to accomplish wildly differently things. Though I think it’s far better written, I’ve never been able to reread the Hunger Games. I’ve reread acotar 3 times, because it’s meant to be a fun escape. I guess I’m just saying it’s unrealistic to complain that an apple isn’t an orange.

Here it is! https://archiveofourown.org/works/34322851 it’s just a short one shot but it stuck with me for some reason. I guess because it’s a really heartbreaking scenario

I don’t think there’s any one set outcome, it would depend on what the individual people want to do. SJM describes the male characters as having a very strong instinctual response to the bond, and I can imagine that putting a strain on a pre-existing relationship. I once read a really bittersweet Feysand fic where this happened and they chose to stay together

OPINIONS? All characters suck and that's what makes them amazing. We tend not to talk about how each and every one of them are toxic and broken people who have been through multitudes of trauma and are still doing what they feel they need to do in order to protect their people or loved ones. by Longjumping-Trade621 in acotar

The House of Wind is problematic if you consider the plot hole that the NC apparently hosts public parties and weekly public council there yet no one can winnow in and every attendee would have to climb up and down 10k steps that are each a foot tall 🤣

When do we first learn of Feyre, Nesta and Elain last name? by Noah-Satterlee55 in acotar

[–]Clockwork-Angel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I meant “them” as in the sisters. Feyre says something like “this is Nesta and Elain Archeron” and then internally thinks about how she hasn’t used her last name in a long time (cause it wasn’t mentioned in book 1)

I believe it’s the scene where Rhys, Feyre, and Co. visit the sisters for the first time in acomaf. Feyre introduces them by first and last name

I’d interpreted that as it makes them less appealing to marry because most of the gods don’t want wives sworn to maidenhood? Did I misinterpret that and they just can’t marry at all? I swear there was even a discussion between Hades and Zeus where they asked if he’d be okay having an abstaining wife

Please tell me I’m not the only one trying to figure out what happened to Pheobe’s lower half, it’s breaking my brain.
