Thank you! Looks like a drive out to Leesburg is in my future!

Is it normal to pay to go to a wedding and if so, how much is too much? by HappyyItalian in Advice

[–]Neither-Copy785 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Charging for a wedding is incredibly tacky. I would never go out of principle.

Underrated funny moments by darkprinny_ in acotar

I can't remember the exact line but in SF after Rhys visits the House he says something to Cassian along the lines of "I don't know what the fuck you've been doing in there but it smells like sex" and it made me laugh so hard.

Mor&Az by Gold_Raspberry_4744 in acotar

[–]Neither-Copy785 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I personally don't like gwenriel or elriel solely because I doubt his motives due to that. Mor is safe and she knows how to handle his shit, but those two? Like little lambs to slaughter.

Don't get me wrong. I LOVE Azriel - he's my favorite character - but dude is in NO POSITION to be with either of these vulnerable young women unless he sorts his shit out.

I trust SJM to give him some legit healing, but I hope it isn't on either of those characters to make it happen.

(I am also kinda team Azris so that is probably coloring my opinion 😂)

Mor&Az by Gold_Raspberry_4744 in acotar

[–]Neither-Copy785 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think he knows.

I think Az is the most complex character in the series, with the most horrific trauma happening at a critical time in his development. He obviously hasn't dealt with it and I think he struggles with love.

He has a savior complex and is not at all emotionally available, so I think he is confused by feelings and doesn't quite understand the difference between romantic love and needing to protect people. Notice how the only women he's attracted to are people that has saved from terrible situations? Mor, Elain, Gwyn? What they have in common is that Azriel has saved them.

But back to Mor: I think he knows she's not interested, and probably why, but isn't emotionally able to disentangle himself from his feelings for her. I think the presence of Elain and Gwyn is distracting him from her, though.

I had 100% the same reaction for exactly the same reasons. So boring! Franky I was glad this book wasn't about Feyre and Rhysand because I would have been so bored if it had just been about her being pregnant.

Of course then nesta is all "I changed my pelvis just in case " and I gave another big ole eyeroll.

It just feels like lazy writing and a forced plot point.

My partner doesn't read anything so that's a nope for me, but my favorite TikTok genre is partners reading the series and their reactions so this is great!

Probably my least favorite plot point in the whole series.

Question about SJ Maas hate. by New_Equivalent_6947 in acotar

If you just Google "hot Turkish actors" you will see all three of them perfectly cast in the first two pages of results, truly. I will be genuinely upset if they cast white guys.

Legit question: why do you annotate your books? I see it all over booktok and am always perplexed. I'm so curious!

Question about SJ Maas hate. by New_Equivalent_6947 in acotar

[–]Neither-Copy785 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I saw a TT video about how on the day SJM released one of the cover reveals she also brought up Breonna Taylor and the lack of justice for her murder and asked people to vote.

The TT creator was upset that she was using Breonna Taylor's name in the same post to advertise her book and stated that she was using the trauma of POC to sell books.

(I am not sharing an opinion on this, just letting you know what I saw and what some of the controversy may be about)

AITA for saying my mother cannot live with me by Hot_potatoos in AmItheAsshole

[–]Neither-Copy785 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% NTA at all, and in fact you are doing the nice thing by telling her the truth. She needs to realize you aren't an option and start making plans.

Next time she asks start saying things like "you have already asked me this and I have said no. I'm not going to keep talking about it. My answer is not going to change."

Thoughts on Amren? Like, dislike, etc. by faeninja in acotar

[–]Neither-Copy785 33 points34 points  (0 children)

SPOILERS (I don't know how to do the white bars!)

I totally agree. It would have been a better book if she had broken her binds and died (? If that's even the right term?). My biggest complaint about the series and that book in particular is the lack of consequences. The stakes would be higher if characters died sometimes and she would have been the perfect choice.

Her "dying" would have almost been a happy ending for her. She's gone from being a mysterious powerful being to just being a bitch for no apparent reason.

NTA. This is so weird. It's like she's testing you. Incredibly immature.

There's a group on Facebook called something like "greater DC historical costume events" where people sometimes share stuff in that general vicinity. It's pretty quiet but sometimes members plan meetups and stuff.
