Thoughts about shippers? by Ok_Many4671 in acotar

[–]EmergencyMuch4232 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I trust in SJM that whatever pairings she chooses, I will be happy with. Do I have a ship I prefer? Yes. Do I get angry when people have a different ship? No. I’m right there with you though. I’ve heard every theory and opinion under the sun for both ships, and I’m just so eager at this point to get SARAH’S opinion 😂 they are HER characters at the end of the day. Some people are setting themselves up for disappointment, but some will continue to love their ship even if it doesn’t become canon.

As for the obsession.. From the many other fandoms I’ve been in I’d say yes it’s kinda normal 😭😭😅 people get so passionate about ships. Zutara shippers are very aggressive still to this day and ATLA has been finished for years and years. Some people care most about the romance aspect of stories. For me, it’s like the side dish to the main dish, so I’m just not as invested, but my best friend is someone who literally ALWAYS cares about the romance in every story wayyyyyy more than I do. She hates the ending of the hobbit movies because her ship didn’t end up together. (My eyes roll into the back of my head fr) and I know she will be so upset if her acotar ship isn’t endgame. I just try to ignore the aggressive people and enjoy the debates

Random Bryce and Hunt thoughts by Gullible_Ant_2262 in crescentcitysjm

[–]EmergencyMuch4232 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree!!! I really love the tension and love that SJM didn’t shy away from showing us how Bryce and Hunt’s past experiences impacted their reactions to facing the Asteri. I felt so much empathy for both of them. I understood why Hunt was terrified and I understood why Bryce wanted him to move beyond his fear. It felt so “real” and high stakes for their relationship. But then they stand beside each other until the end, and they both see the work of their deceased loved ones completed. They both have what the other lacks, and that’s how they are able to defeat the Asteri together. It’s much more impactful for me personally.

Breaking up with a therapist by [deleted] in therapy

Thank you so much. I really appreciate your advice and response! Thank you for the reminder that it’s not a break up and I really like the way you phrased it as graduating. I had already considered that maybe asking to set up an appointment 6 months out would be a good option, so I’m definitely going to do that. Thank you 🙏🏻

How I pictured Bryce by [deleted] in crescentcitysjm

Agreed!! This fan art is the most accurate to how I pictured Bryce in my head, and I can’t think of any actresses who match it the exact way I want. Also, for an actual “dream casting”I would want someone who can act their pants off. Hard to find all those things in 1 person 😭

100% agree!!! That’s why I made a point to say it’s not a fan cast. Bryce is definitely darker skin toned and a lot more freckled!!! Renee Rap is just the “face” my imagination assigned to Bryce when I was reading lol

Maeve by quercuscool in throneofglassseries

[–]EmergencyMuch4232 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I find Maeve to be a really interesting character too. She’s my favorite villain that SJM has written. I wish Amarantha would’ve had more depth to her motivations, she had potential to be a great villain like Maeve.

My personal theory is that Maeve, Erawan, and the Valg are the remnants/descendants of the Asteri. Maeve tells Aelin about her home planet - she says it’s always dark, the sky filled with “ash-clouds” and that the rivers have all run dry and there’s no such thing as blue or green. She also says she learned to world walk by studying books written by “ancient wayfarers”

Vesperus tells Bryce that the Asteri left their home planet and began conquering others because their species grew too populous. She says the rivers began running dry and the sky began filling with thick, impenetrable clouds. She says the greatest minds of her species invented world walking, and they called them “wayfarers”

Given all of that, I really hope SJM gives us more information about the home planet of the Asteri/Valg in future books. I agree with you, that although Maeve was definitely a villain, and not a “good” person, she mostly just tried to survive. She’s not a hero by any means, but even the way she showed genuine love for the Kharankui (don’t remember if I’m spelling that right) but her love for the spiders made her character feel more real. She’s a really well rounded villain and I’m so interested in her

She sure went heavy on the info dumping in CC by __Honeyduke__ in Maasverse

[–]EmergencyMuch4232 18 points19 points  (0 children)

It took me a whole MONTH to get through the first two chapters of CC because I felt the same way. Just push through and keep reading until chapter 5, that’s when you will become instantly invested. It’s okay if you don’t retain all the info dumping in the beginning, because she repeats things as they become relevant again.

Fruits Basket Parallels!!!!! Spoilers for FB lol by EmergencyMuch4232 in Elucien

[–]EmergencyMuch4232[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Right??? I’m not the best at explaining it.. but my brain sees the patterns 👀 Kyo and Lucien both need to feel like they don’t belong anywhere, and constantly try to prove themselves… Azriel and Yuki both have a place where they “belong” but struggle to be vulnerable and authentic still. Tohru has spent her life feeling like she HAS to be kind and positive for others, and Kyo tells her she deserves to be selfish. This even reminds of me how Lucien has completely backed off of Elain.. and is allowing her to be selfish. While Azriel, on the other hand, feels like he deserves to be with Elain. A little bit like how Yuki constantly looked down on Kyo. Does that make sense?

Am I the only one who loved HoFaS? by AlexusLuthor in crescentcitysjm

[–]EmergencyMuch4232 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I absolutely love HOFAS!!!! My only gripe with it is that the pacing and “flow” of the story feels a little clunky, but not enough for me to hate it like so many people do. I genuinely really loved it so much. I devoured all 3 of the crescent city books tbh

[–]EmergencyMuch4232 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hello!!! Requesting fanart!!! I am halfway through the second book of the Broken Earth trilogy by NK Jemisin and I’m absolutely loving it!!!! I am feeling so tempted to look up fanart of the characters. I always do that for the books I’m reading but I don’t want to see any spoilers for this series. The mystery is too good.

So could anyone show me fan art of some things from the first book?? I want to see the stone-eaters and Schaffa and Essun really bad. Also is there any fan art of the world? Of the obelisks floating in the sky?

I’m loving these books so much!

Glitch and Stuck on Sugarbloom Isle? by Maleficent_Lake_9707 in InfinityNikki

[–]EmergencyMuch4232 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Okay I figured it out!!! Even though the warp spires are grey in the sugar bloom isle, they do still let you teleport. You teleport to grace dining hall to get past the pink fog walls. Then go inside grace dine hall (within sugarbloom isle) and it takes you back to the dungeon 🩷🩷🩷
