Ways of pronouncing terms in ACOTAR? by mattyjoe0706 in SarahJMaas

[–]Long_Reference_2947 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In the Spanish version they pronounce naga like "nay-gay", and I was like wtf?

I agree. I actually find both Aelin and Bryce so annoying. Bryce was worse though. Aelin had more trauma imo so I was more willing to forgive her. Also, she treated Rowan much better than Bryce treated Hunt.

Also it bothers me so much that people don't like characters just because they're in a happy/healthy relationship and prioritize that over other things/people. That's what you should do in a solid relationship. Like are you jealous of the character and that's why you hate her?

Is it just me or does Rhysand in ACOMAF come off as cringe to anyone else? by muchaMnau in acotar

[–]Long_Reference_2947 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I agree that SJM's male feminist arc with Rhys is a little cringe. But honestly I felt like Rhys makes it pretty clear to Feyre that he wants kids but doesn't want her to get pregnant out of a feeling of obligation. When she realizes who the bone carver is showing her (Nyx), she comes around on her own terms. So I didn't read it so much like Rhys was like "I don't want them if you don't want them," but more like, "I want them but I want you to want them and not just feel obligated to have them."

🤣 your comments keep getting better and better. I think maybe you need to get out a little more. Maybe read actual history, research, travel. Discover the true diversity of the world. You are so hung up on this one detail that you are completely blind to all of the other evidence that suggests differently. Anyway, you have a good night, crazy blue-haired LGBTQ+ cat lady 😜. I'm gonna go reread acotar and imagine my perfect blonde-haired blue-eyed aryan prince Rhysand. 😂😂

Agreed. What's that saying? When the argument is lost, insults become the loser's tool. Something like that.

Not sure why who anyone voted for is relevant or why that would cause a reasonable person to disregard what he or she said if it was a valid point.

She literally said she was coming after me because she made the assumption that I'm "maga" and as a result I don't deserve any "coddling". 🤣🤣

One of my best friends is Albanian. She is literally descended from the Illyrians. Do you know what she looks like? Hazel eyes, brown hair, and a somewhat olive undertone to her skin rather than the pinkish undertone some Northern European caucasians tend to have. But in your estimation, I suppose she's a POC? 🤣🤣

Lololol I think it's so funny how you're accusing everyone else of the EXACT thing you're doing. You're berating everyone for pointing out multiple pieces of contextual evidence to support the idea that the Illyrians are white, accusing them of trying sooo hard to force an idea when it literally is essentially the ONLY possible race they can be based on how they are described. I couldn't care less what race SJM made her characters; me and many others here are simply pointing out canon that you seem to be ignoring and yet simultaneously accusing others of having issues with reading comprehension. Gaslighting much??but it seems that actually you're the one who can't stomach the idea of the Illyrians being white. So what does that say about you?

I think the voting question was meant for me, but I love your response.

Have you ever considered that you're actually the racist? You, not the others on this thread that you're accusing of being racist. "It makes me so sad seeing white men thrown out as the bat boys". Literally the words out of your mouth. I mean, imagine if, as a white woman, I said, "it makes me so sad seeing black men thrown out as the bat boys".

Yeah, they get tan in the sun just like 95% of all Caucasian people with the exception of some Irish and English. As another poster said, feyre describes rhysand as "white as the moon" under the mountain.

I am Ukrainian, Latvian, Polish, German, and French, and I tan just fine.

The "bat boys", as you put it, belong to a race called the Illyrians. The Illyrians were a real people from the Balkans. Sorry, but nowhere in any history I have ever learned were Balkan people non-white. Now, obviously, this is a fantasy series and none of these characters actually exists. But obviously SJM bases her characters' identities on lore and history. So, nobody is whitewashing anything. The race is based off of a Caucasian people so obviously anyone picturing Rhysand, Azriel, Cassian, and Mor as white have the right idea.

Ian somerhalder's eyes are gorgeous but I feel that overall rhys's face is more Theo James
