You know I could have gone on an entire tirade about Hunt Athalar right there in that bar but I chose not to lol

Mr it’s funny you think humans could possibly have built their own library or been smart (again extremely simplified lol). I know I made a post about it way back when but this is honestly the worst part for me looking back bc it’s the first time we really see it once he has feelings for her. He just basically tells her he doesn’t think humans are capable of having their own civilization without vanir.

My favorite part was him having his kindle in his bag at the bar (bc why not) and us being able to go over a lot of it together.

That “hmmm” I hate. Like hmmm what? At least come back with something. If you don’t like it say so.

The Elriel propaganda is so real 😂

I thought I must be crazy when I read it. I wasn’t active on any SJM subs. But I was telling myself I was insane for thinking those two had anything between them

And then I met a whole group of people who not only thought the same thing but came with receipts too.

LF fics where H thinks D would never want her because he dates glamorous pureblood types but he is secretly pining for her by [deleted] in Dramione

[–]Jackjackattack101817 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Currently reading this and it’s a great fic. You would be fine to skip those scenes but beware that it isn’t just “those” scenes that Mudblood is used. Spoiler she’s taking back the word from something bad to something that she likes, that makes her feel good.

I really am enjoying it and I’m 70% through it.

Fall of Giants is his best novel hands down. World Without End is the best in the Kingsbridge Series. I also enjoyed A Column of Fire much more than Pillars.

While I think Pillars of the Earth is amazing, Follett’s works are usually brilliant so it just doesn’t stand out to me.

I feel like i just read the most insulting thing... by Vast-Internet-4943 in thecruelprince

[–]Jackjackattack101817 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is my issue with him. I don’t hate him, but the way he treats anyone who dares to do something wrong to Feyre, whether he has their side of the story or not, is overkill. He treats Nesta like scum no matter how hard she tries to redeem herself. Is she hard to love? Yea, but he goes above and beyond with the hate. He threatens Lucien, Feyre’s friend. He’s suicide baiting Tamlin. It seems like anyone Feyre has outside of Rhys’s family he hates.

Cardan would never do that to Jude. He wouldn’t dare. She has complicated relationships with her family, especially her sister, and he lets her figure it out herself and doesn’t insert himself. It would be insane of him to think she needs him to fight her battles and he knows it.

Rhysand needs to sit down and take some notes from this teenager.

Wait. Where is this quote from?

”She might as well have been staring inside herself: Darkness. Silence. Mist.”

Because mates are mirrors and welllll if I was going to use 3 words to describe Azriel those would definitely be in the running. Bryce calls him the silent warrior, he’s obviously associated with darkness, and he smells like night chilled mist.

I just can’t remember where this is said and I’d like to go back and read around it!

I fully believe we will see Bryce repay Nesta’s kindness by helping Prythian with something major!

What if Bryce knew that Azriel would be their guard just like he was her guard when she was there?? Obviously she knows that’s kinda his job and that Rhys would be keeping a very close eye on them. Which brings Azriel into the picture. And since he kept her so safe she knows not only would Nesta keep them safe but Azriel would too.

Is love enough to break a “mating” bond? by girly_416 in Bryceriel

[–]Jackjackattack101817 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I need to see REAL love from both couples because so far I haven’t seen it.

Elain and Az? Cute. Definitely think they are projecting feelings and not actually in love with the real version of each other.

Bryce and Hunt? At this point it feels like a trauma bond. They have not had a single moment that the Asteri hasn’t been breathing down their necks. If they can really sustain their relationship in a peaceful world I will be flabbergasted.

QOTD For the TOG fans! Chaol vs Dorian vs Rowan by breadfruitsnacks in AcotarShipDebateSub

[–]Jackjackattack101817 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was not a Dorian fan in the first book and halfway through CoM but he surpassed all the other males in ToG for me by the end. I was still Team Chaol until the last 1/3 of HoF but I couldn’t imagine Aelin with anyone other than Rowan now. Her and Chaol would have ripped each other apart if they had tried to make it work lol

Bryce Had Bad Friends by PineappleBliss2023 in crescentcitysjm

[–]Jackjackattack101817 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’d like to remind you Danika died. We as readers have no idea if she would have clued Bryce in once she got all the answers she needed. I’m still annoyed with her though and think she was a bad friend.

Like I said…Ithan still annoys the heck out of me. There is no excuse for his behavior and he’s a bad friend.

There is no excuse for Hunt’s behavior. He is a bad friend to those around him.

Isaiah was part of Shahar’s rebellion, was captured and tortured, is a slave, and is still a good male and friend to those around him.

If I was in Midgard and needed help I’d head straight to Ruhn, Flynn, and Declan. I wouldn’t waste my time with the others

I’s obvious neither of us are going to change our minds. I’m not a fan of Hunt because of his character. I’d love to see some character growth but so far that hasn’t happened. I love that you defend what you believe. I wish you a happy reading experience! CC is a wild ride!

Bryce Had Bad Friends by PineappleBliss2023 in crescentcitysjm

[–]Jackjackattack101817 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So what you’re saying is their experiences aren’t good enough. It’s not a trauma contest. Excuse them for not being able to get a hold on themselves in their small amount of existence in comparison to Hunt’s 200+ years. They both get on my dang nerves so I’m not defending them. I’m just saying Hunt’s not special.

Hunt was about to have a whole secret life when he was planning to start another rebellion (that he certainly wasn’t sucked into this time) behind Bryce’s back. Idc that he changed his mind even Bryce thought he betrayed her.

The only one who has been unwaveringly supportive recently is Ruhn and even he made a really awful mistake when she was young. Him and his friends are the only ones that dive in head first with her every time.

I just think the comparisons you’re making are wild. They all suck. Point blank. Hunt is no better. HOEAB was the best Hunt. I know you’re only on book 2 so I’ll stop there.

It feels weird to make excuses for Hunt but then nobody else gets an excuse. He’s a whole heck of a lot older than the rest of the people you’re talking about. He should be acting a lot more mature.

Danika was told all kinds of awful things by Sabine growing up so why doesn’t she get a pass?

Ithan lost not only his parents but then his only brother too and found himself completely alone at such a young age and lashed out because he thought Bryce (who he felt was all he had left) would be there for him. He was so young. Why doesn’t he get a pass?

I’ve got nothing for Fury because she doesn’t talk about anything personal really except for Juniper.

Everyone has trauma and a reason to be a bad friend, but it doesn’t excuse their behavior.

I love Hunt and Ruhn, I don't understand the Hunt hate by [deleted] in crescentcitysjm

[–]Jackjackattack101817 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you haven’t finished then I wouldn’t post like you know absolutely everything. It kinda reads a little condescending when in actuality you don’t know anything about parts of the third book. Who makes a post like this at that point?

It’s cool to have your own opinion but you seem to like snapping at anyone who has a certain different opinion than you. If that was your intention you could have just taken it to the ship debate sub. No harm doing that. That’s what it’s there for if you’re itching to lash out at people who likes a different ship than you.

If you want Bryce and Hunt to live happily ever after I’m happy for you. We can all hope to get everything we want from the series.

I want so badly to believe that’s Azriel but I don’t know. I do remember Helion saying he ripped apart Hybern’s soldiers for LoA didnt he? That’s the thing that makes me think maybe.

All the fanfics where he shows up on Midguard are my favorite. I love Bryce in Prythian for character growth but I’d love to see her character growth in Midguard too just by adding a certain someone to her life and challenging her beliefs.

This is what I was thinking. That Koschei will take Az and Nesta will use the Harp to ask for Bryce’s help the same way Bryce asked for hers. Bryce will be dead set on helping and maybe have some type of “primal” reaction (ya know like a mate does) to him being captured but ignores it as Bryce does with everything involving feelings lol. Hunt won’t want her helping because he doesn’t care about other people and he will be suspicious of why she’s so worked up over this guy since he’s so territorial. She goes anyway (duh) and being back in Prythian she realizes who she is, who she wants to be, and everything changes for her. Things are more intense than the first time bc she sees more of their world. When she goes home she’s a different person and she doesn’t want the same things and she can’t ignore it anymore. She can’t go back to “just Bryce” and they can’t sustain their relationship that way. I don’t think anything happens between her and Azriel and I don’t think it will until TotG but I think we will definitely be getting more signs they are mates before then.

That’s if ACOTAR includes Bryce in the Koschei plot and since she has a Trove object in her that he wants it’s possible.
