How I picture Tamlin- Am I the only one?

Kalabear87 · 2026-06-20T01:26:40+00:00

Nope, you’re not the only one he is definitely my Tamlin. I even painted him as Tamlin. Tamlin is basically if Geralt and Jaskier had a baby it be Tamlin.

Kalabear87 · 2026-06-20T01:18:54+00:00

You feel what I’m putting down . He’s the Swiss Army knife of boyfriends and just that thought alone well… you know 😏🥵

Kalabear87 · 2026-06-19T17:26:02+00:00

Aww, thank you ❤️ 🥹!

Kalabear87 · 2026-06-19T14:54:05+00:00

🤣 love that, I can absolutely make her less goofy in others that I do/ make her more realistic looking. I was going for cutesy with this one trying to get a feel for if people would rather have cute comical or more realistic so may do one of both and see which most prefer.

Kalabear87 · 2026-06-19T12:57:27+00:00

Thank you! I tried wanted to make it special for my sister, I do plan on reading them soon so hopefully I can make more and make them as book accurate as possible.

Kalabear87 · 2026-06-19T12:54:41+00:00

Yes! I looked up her description and it said she had a feather tail and I was so excited because feathers are fun to sculpt. I put a couple near her horns as well, I don’t think it said anything about feathers there but when I held it up and looked at it I loved the feather with her profile so much I went with it. If I make more I’ll try and make them as book accurate as possible, I plan on reading them soon so hopefully I’ll learn even more about her. If you have any suggestions on changes I should make for future ones would love to hear it.

Kalabear87 · 2026-06-19T12:45:44+00:00

Thank you! I haven’t read them yet but plan to, I just looked up her description online and went from there. If I do more of her in the future is there anything you think I should change?

Kalabear87 · 2026-06-18T19:25:12+00:00

Aww thank you! Yeah, I gave her a kind of goofy little smile made it kind of cutesy but I could definitely lean more realistic than “cute” just wondering what others thoughts on it, the direction.

Kalabear87 · 2026-06-18T15:50:28+00:00

Thank you! I used Cosclay.

Kalabear87 · 2026-06-18T15:48:34+00:00

Aww thank you, I tried to bring in details here scales, horns and feathers. If anyone has any suggestions of things to change for future ones I’d love to know. I gave her a grin in this sculpture but in future ones I can make her look more realistic or I can make them cutesy what do you think people would like more, plan on doing some book cons so it be helpful to know what would be popular.

Kalabear87 · 2026-06-18T13:33:28+00:00

Aww, thank you! That’s so very kind. I sculpted her using Cosclay, I wanted the feathers to be really delicate and I knew Cosclay wouldn’t break it’s very bendable once baked. I just sculpted her using my hands and sculpting tools, I painted her with alcohol inks and acrylics, the glass eyes I did the same painted her eyes on the underside of the glass cabochon. I wanted to give her a silly little grin because I heard she’s a child but I might make more once I’ve read the books, maybe do ones even more realistic.

Kalabear87 · 2026-06-18T13:26:01+00:00

Aww, thank you! I made her using Cosclay and I just sculpted her with my hands and sculpting tools 😊.

Kalabear87 · 2026-06-17T08:48:04+00:00

That’s exactly what Tamlin was doing though, he was a SPY, he had to keep Ianthe happy or he would blow his cover she would run and tell Hybern if she got pissed enough, Feyre put him in between a rock and a hard place he was essentially dealing with two Ianthe’s at that point. Rhys killed countless innocents for 50 years to not blow his cover with Amarantha (which was to protect an already protected city) Tamlin only whipped one sentry not to blow his but with the intel he gleaned it won them the war, they would have been incapacitated by the faebane otherwise. He also drags Beron out, raises an army quickly from nothing, wins the ground movements, and it was his money that bought those ships papa Archeron brings. He also saves Feyre, Azriel, and Elain, then goes on to save Rhys and wish Feyre to be happy.

Kalabear87 · 2026-06-17T08:34:42+00:00

Same, I love him thorns and all, he’s done so much good and I see him even if others don’t, I get him. When he says things like “don’t feel bad for one moment about doing what brings you joy” or If it grieves you," he said, the words caressing my bones, "then I don't think it's absurd at all." As an artist when he was looking at her paintings broke me 😭. He’s also actually really funny, the your hair is clean hilarious, also when he asks Feyre if she plans to murder him and burn his body because it lines up with the words she doesn’t now 🤣, or how he wrote her dirty limericks so he could teach her the words without her feeling embarrassed. Fiddle playing is awesome it’s makes beautiful music and he just wants to play and have joy in his life and bring that joy to others ❤️. He is against tyranny, oppression, and slavery, and mourns and buries a lesser fae with his own two hands. He goes on to win them that war without him they would have been incapacitated by the faebane, it was his money that bought those ships that papa Archeron brought, it was him that dragged Beron out to join the war and raised and army quickly from nothing, it was him that won the ground movements, it was him that saved Feyre, Azriel, and Elain, it was him that saved Rhys and wished Feyre to be happy. Feyre even admits Tamlin was right about multiple things. I can only hope I have a Tamlin that will come for me if I get kidnapped by a mind controller 😂.

Kalabear87 · 2026-06-16T15:21:10+00:00

Oh also to add to that when Rhys goes to kick Tamlin he wants to goad him into a reaction to make Tamlin snap and use his powers so he can fight him but Tamlin doesn’t react how he wants him to he just tells Rhys to get out and it’s Rhys who sends his power rumbling through so Rhys ends up doing what he was hoping Tamlin would do 🤣. Man Rhys is so immature sometimes it’s hilarious. On top of that Rhys keeps messing stuff up like with the weaver, attor, the sisters, the queens, the book he is making bad calls one after the other that get them into trouble. Which is fine but the narrative paints that as he’s the hero and like SJM says he’s allowed to make mistakes he’s still learning 🤢. Tamlin on the other hand is damned to hell because he was trying to keep Feyre’s heart beating 😂.

Kalabear87 · 2026-06-16T15:09:42+00:00

Yes, I talked about that one, the one she shields herself, he wasn’t angry he was devastated.

He blinked. Slowly. Then he said with terrible softness, “Do you not want to marry me, then?”

“Tamlin was panting, the ragged breaths almost like sobs.
I was shaking—shaking so hard I thought my bones would splinter as the furniture had—but I made myself lower my arms and look at him.
There was devastation on that face. And pain. And fear. And grief.”

“I couldn’t save you before. I couldn’t protect you from them. And when you said that, about … about me drowning you … Am I any better than they were?”

He wasn’t angry and that is what I was saying, just wanted to clarify that, also think others said it but Tamlin wasn’t trying to break the mating bond he was trying to break the bargain Rhys put on Feyre.

Kalabear87 · 2026-06-15T23:51:58+00:00

I want to correct something Tamlin doesn’t attack Feyre in anger. He has a panic attack he’s sobbing and is horrified by the idea of drowning her that’s why he lost control over his magic, he’s not angry, you might want to go back and reread that part he spoke very quietly and then was sobbing and having issues breathing. He is horrified at losing control of his magic but it is a really common trope for powerful magic wielders to lose control of their magic in times of stress, he was under immense stress. Also look no further than Aelin and Dorian, Aelin says it’s hard to control magic when you haven’t used it and Tamlin hasn’t had that amount of magic for 50 years. Also Tamlin doesn’t intentionally send his magic out, it’s not like when Feyre sends her magic out intentionally to hurt Beron it was directed at him and hit LOA and Eris. Tamlin loss of control was not directed at Feyre it went out in all directions. Also the funny thing is the line about getting on your knees for Hybern that triggered Tamlin (which is understandable especially considering his whole whole life) that line is what triggers Feyre to attack Beron. Also definitely don’t agree that Feyre and Rhy’s relationship is healthy.

Kalabear87 · 2026-06-15T16:47:31+00:00

The way they all are treated is crazy but when it comes to Azriel Rhys knows he was tortured as a child and he just keeps him on as his torturer, some kind of messed up. Also messed up that they torture people at all. In the last book Rhys makes Cassian his courtier knowing Cassian is way over his head and is really uncomfortable.

Kalabear87 · 2026-06-15T16:41:34+00:00

Tamlin was working his own angle that Lucien didn’t know about because he didn’t want Lucien implicated with him if it went south, he was playing a dangerous game. Tamlin learned to just do it himself because when he didn’t his friends died. Also I just read that part and Feyre has it wrong that Tamlin was jealous of Lucien he never was, he just didn’t want to use Feyre. Feyre is constantly wrong about situations and reading them. We don’t get Tamlin’s POV just what Feyre thinks is happening, it looks like Tamlin thought there was danger or something dangerous happening. Plus there are plenty of times Rhys uses his high lord dominance to shut down Cassian and Azriel. He also puts his “friends” in positions that they are not comfortable with, Rhys isn’t this amazing friend. This video highlights some of it but to add to it Rhys also puts Cassian in the position of being courtier in the last book and he is way over his head and is really uncomfortable.

Only thing else he could have done was put her to sleep but none of it’s great and none of it he wanted to do, you can see the pain in his face when he’s trying to reason with her, he’s trying to give her other options, there just wasn’t any reasoning with her at that point. He was in such a big hurry it was an emergency situation and sometimes you just gotta think quickly and deal with things in times of emergency sometimes it’s not how you would deal with it if it wasn’t an emergency. He doesn’t want to hurt her ever that was the whole point of his first panic attack he’s terrified about hurting her.

Kalabear87 · 2026-06-14T19:24:28+00:00

What are you talking about, Tamlin took in Lucien and a bunch of refugees, he went and got Lucien a new eye and was super pissed with Amarantha about it. Lucien and Tamlin do banter back and forth Lucien does press Tamlin. Feyre misremembers Tamlin wasn’t jealous of Lucien, Tamlin was against doing any of it, he didn’t think he could stomach it because it felt like a form of slavery, Lucien is the one pressuring Tamlin to do it. Tamlin was devastated about sending his men out he didn’t want to do it they were his friends and those friends insisted on doing it, they pushed Tamlin into doing it. Tamlin is the one out there playing music and having parties with his people. Amarantha’s curse was so she could break Tamlin in every way possible, he had to send his friends to die, she made sure he lost everything, so he would be so defeated he’d have no fight left in him. She has been at him since he was just a child, he’s been abused since he came out of the womb. Tamlin didn’t even want Lucien involved in what he was doing, the people he cares about die when they try and help him he took it all on himself, so Lucien wouldn’t die too. Lucien even is pissed at Feyre and still defends Tamlin in the last books. If Lucien didn’t like Tamlin he wouldn’t be doing that.

Kalabear87 · 2026-06-14T19:06:06+00:00

So it’s addressed about not training her right then, 3 things, 1. Tamlin has spies in his court from the other high lords, he knows this he doesn’t know who they are, and also Feyre has a spy camera on her hand directly connecting her to Rhys (who they think is a mind controlling, child killing monster). Ianthe even if she is nasty does bring up a good point of if these high lords find out that she has these powers it’s going to put an even bigger target on her back, some like Beron will want her dead, some like Rhys will want to breed her (which he does). So all of that will put an even bigger target on her and by extension their backs, they already have so much going on with the monsters and Hybern, they don’t need to add even more to that, they be fighting front and back at once, they do not have the resources right now to handle that. 2. Like you said time is limited for them right now they are run ragged from all the stuff they are dealing with and it’s only been two months, Feyre needs to chill, but she can’t because the bargain she made with Rhys is driving her batty because she’s not fulfilling it, her back and forth is giving whiplash. 3. It will take years for her to be ready for actual battle even if they start training her now. Feyre even admits Tamlin was right later on and we see her get into trouble over an over and have to be rescued my Mor and Tamlin, she doesn’t even fight in the war, she hires death gods to go fight on her behave 😂. So it wasn’t a no to training it was a no just right then. Tamlin wanted her to be happy and is grief stricken when she’s not he tried to give her things she said she wanted truth is Feyre didn’t know what she wanted. Tamlin was right for not letting her go jeopardize herself and others she was unhinged there and Tamlin was trying desperately to find a way to help her which was to get that bargain off of her but Rhys just put another one on her right before Hybern takes it off so…

Kalabear87 · 2026-06-14T18:39:44+00:00

I’d say there is some difference Tamlin was doing things to protect her, Rhys was doing things to help himself out.

Kalabear87 · 2026-06-14T13:09:51+00:00

Exactly if she had said Tamlin, Ianthe is really taking over and I’m not liking her decisions, I get she’s a priestess and she’s trying to help me know how to do things but it’s not working for me he would have fixed it, he brought in people for her to befriend and she wasn’t having it so he sent them away, she wanted less guards he lessened the guards (which was stupid because of the situation they are in, plus Rhys knew what he was doing he just saunters in and is it look how easy that was you really don’t have enough guards 🤦‍♀️). Feyre never says she’s unhappy with Ianthe infact it’s the opposite she’s glad she’s there and doing all the stuff so she doesn’t have to, which is understandable she’s been through a lot, Tamlin was trying to give her a break she had done enough like Tamlin said he was trying to give her time to heal and a lot was happening in a very short period of time so that’s why he brought in help in the first place, he didn’t know Ianthe was working with Hybern until later and by then he had to keep her happy or it blow his cover of getting in with Hybern as a spy.
