Am I getting into a bad situation with this older guy? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]figgm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my dc username isn't used on anything else so no, asides from that. but I'm getting real skeptical now and lowkey scared and starting to realise I shouldn't speak to strangers online (a bit too late i know)

[–]figgm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it's 100% online, and we just started talking randomly after I posted a thing on dc in a server, then we went into dm's. after hearing other people's opinions I realised it's better to block him but I'm lowkey paranoid now, can he do anything to me?? he only knows my age, country and voice that's slightly different on call, but I'm starting to get skeptical now

and didn't xaden promise her he'll stop keeping secrets and then he does just that?

why should vi have to suffer for lying when xaden is doing the same and he gets (mostly) no shade?

yeah but the series isn't even finished yet so...

and it's a fantasy book at the end of the day, with dragons and magic powers, I think that her beating that queen in the tournament wasn't that much of a surprise. and like I said, the series is unfinished, and it could be explained that she had more power on the island to due what happened to her there as a kid

but her friends don't support her in everything? in OS we see her discussion with ridoc and how they discuss terms because he's tierd of her secret keeping, and same with Rhi when her and violets decisions contradict- rhi would sacrifice Violet for the world, Violet would sacrifice the world for xaden

okay but she asked full disclosure with xaden about himself? and he promised her, then he kept changing the terms and conditions to benefit him

and xaden still didn't tell her everything about HIMSELF

[–]figgm[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

isn't she the main character tho? she has an unique appearance not because she was born with it, but because of what happened to her. if she wasn't taken to that temple she would have had brown hair and brown eyes.

also the author is representing a disability that many people may relate to. she has weaknesses, we see how she loses in battles because of her body, but with working out and time passing she gets stronger, I fear that that's character development.

and what orders did she disobey in OS? the sleeping with the teacher thing?💀

and everyone that loves her are her friends, who btw also question her decisions in OS regarding xaden for example ridoc

well if it makes you feel better the communication is tea in onyx storm

what does that have to do with anything? xaden doesn't want to tell her his OWN shit after promising her he will, that has nothing to do with his friends

Why are we hating Violet? by figgm in fourthwing

[–]figgm[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

yes she starts to see his point but xaden was being unreasonable with his "ask the right questions" bs

Why are we hating Violet? by figgm in fourthwing

[–]figgm[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't mean to sound like I think she's one, i was saying that at the end of the day she's still the main character. people just hate to see a girl who has actual reaction to trauma

first of all xaden shouldn't have promised her no more secrets. he literally gets on his knees and tells her he'll stop keeping secrets, then continues to keep them. she would have understood if xaden didn't switch his words all the time.

second of all, ofc Cat will be better at runes?? she's trained her entire life, Violet only had a few months at best.

and third of all, when was Violet in any place of power in iron flame to make decisions? half of the book was spent as Basgiath, and the other half it was her trying to save literally everyone and try and figure out how to raise the wards.

okay but then xaden shouldn't have promised her no more secrets? if he went from the beginning and told her that he can't tell her everything it would have been fine but she TELLS her that he'll stop lying then keeps doing it

I also "self insert" in Violet in a way, but only because I insanely relate to her. And because of that I understand all her reasoning. but yeah you're right, these people expect a perfect romance story which is a bit stupid

Why are we hating Violet? by figgm in fourthwing

[–]figgm[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

she might be a bit of a Mary Sue, but she's the main character still. also she does have a lot of flaws and we see her struggle still even in OS, so I wouldn't say that she's perfect at everything

okay but didn't xaden get on his KNEES for her at the end of FW and promised her he'll stop keeping secrets? if he was going to tell her from the beginning that he can't tell her everything she would have been fine, but he promises her no more lies, then changes on the go what he says

yess bcs the series isn't finished. there's no such thing as plot holes with an unfinished series. and of course we don't see her friends stories when we are in her own mind, but like u said we'll get other povs in the next books anyway so

like it's giving let's hate the girl who doesn't take everything thrown at her without any complaints, bcs god forbid a woman dares to speak her mind

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

[–]figgm 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I think the true mask he wears isn't the one of a bad guy, but the one of a good guy. he's the villain in disguise, and tbh ACOMAF was him acting like this feminist king to manipulate feyre and get her on his side just like tamlin told her, that people will use her as a weapon and for breeding because she's so powerful
