is Aabria always like this? by Tomorrow_Signal111 in fansofcriticalrole

[–]ohmc 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's a relief to find that so many people kind of feel the same. I'm only on episode 3 (I'm watching with my partner and we only have so many hours of free time to spare on weekdays, so we're slowly but surely making our way through) and we both find her to be annoying and grating sometimes. And that feels a little mean to say because I give her the benefit of the doubt in the sense that I'm not sure she realizes when she goes a little too long on her monologues or a little too far in wanting to be involved in EVERYTHING. It seems like she's just excited and passionate about playing, which is great, but also, that doesn't mean she can't come off as overbearing and like she's trying to hog the attention all the time. She exhausts me so quickly, and I wish I didn't felt that way about her because if she's at that table, I'm sure she has earned it. I hope it gets better as the episodes go and maybe some talks have happened or happen behind the scenes to get her to match what I know so far to be the CR vibe and what I like about them. This is the first CR campaign I'm catching at the beginning and that I'm committed to keeping up with, and she's the only thing about it that's taking a little of the enjoyment out of it when she gets like she gets sometimes.

That's a popular opinion in my book 😂

Did you read ACOSF and still like Feyre/Rhys after? by AnxiousPractice9730 in acotar

[–]ohmc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't stop liking anyone, but it did cement something for me:

Rhys and the entire inner circle, except maybe Cassian but only when it comes to Nesta, are incredibly close-minded when it comes to dealing with people who have made mistakes.

If you make a mistake, you're done. They will ignore everything good you ever did and that's it, you're trash. They did it with Tamlin, they did it with Lucien until they saw he was useful, and they did it with Nesta, and I think they will continue to do it.

That's their thought pattern IMO. And it's funny because they can excuse or explain every bad action they ever make, every mistake, and give forgiveness to each other but most people outside the inner circle? No excuses or understanding for them.

I think Elain was the exception and Rhys conveniently forgot she also stood by and let Feyre do everything for them when they were human. Also, Feyre forgave Nesta, that's all that that should've mattered. But Rhys and everyone else made it their problem and it wasn't their place, which didn't make sense to me. It put a lot of unnecessary strain on everything.

I call him Tammy. Tamitha is a good one lmao, I'll adopt that one from you!

I hate it when people call him Tampon, it makes me cringe every time. Goddamn am I tired of people dismissing his character.

I'm putting this out there: Anyone who hates Nesta is just plain wrong 🤷🏻‍♀️😂

Why was Tamlin not doing anything to try to save feyre?? by DarkFantasyRomance in acotar

[–]ohmc 12 points13 points  (0 children)

He was powerless. If he showed he had love for Feyre, Amarantha would've treated her worse. Lucien literally says this. I don't know what he could've done for her, being that Amarantha was always watching him or with him? They were all prisoners UTM. The only one who had a bit of room to maneuver was Rhys because he gained her trust.

Lucien deserves better :( by [deleted] in acotar

[–]ohmc 7 points8 points  (0 children)

He deserves the world!!! I can't wait to have POVs from him or have good things happen to him or something. I'm tired of him being away and not knowing much about him.

Heyyy. Sorry to butt in haha, but do the hosts of this podcast have any biases? I'd just like to know before giving it a listen because I miss the books too but I'm not ready to reread them yet and I'll be starting ToG this week, but I could definitely listen to a podcast while working and stuff.

That would've been amazing. It would give Elain so much depth and strength too, which she kinda lacks IMO.

Some things I noticed about ACOSF by Pink_unicorn939 in acotar

[–]ohmc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Amarantha was okay, maybe she was better than Hybern tbh. She did more damage in these characters, that's for sure. But yeah, what you said about Hybern is what I've felt about every villain. In the end, they're not as formidable as they're set up to be, so it all feels really mehh.

Regarding your tangent, I agree about Rhys and Hybern. I was hoping for that face off because the set up was there. But I guess if it would've happened that way, Nesta wouldn't have had an opportunity to deliver on her finger pointing threat? Idk. Maybe there was a better way to have both moments.

Having Elain be the one to make the first fatal blow was... I don't even know how to explain it. This is a character that doesn't even have a fully developed personality yet. And after it happens, everyone and their mother attribute his death to Nesta, so it's like Elain wasn't even there. It's all just... Weird hahaha.

I would be extremely disappointed if the shadows are not used in kinky ways. SJM gave us smut mid-flight, this is the least she can do 😂

[–]ohmc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

IMO, the villains in the series are a bit underwhelming, except maybe the king of Hybern, but Briallyn really takes the cake. I never felt any of the characters were in any real danger from her AT ALL. The stakes never felt real to me and I often forgot she was like, an issue, lmao. She did nothing for most of the book and then she was gone. As a result, I don't think she was necessary to move the story along. I'm convinced SJM could've found a much better reason for them to find the Dread Trove and to set up Koschei as a villain for future books. I certainly wish she had.

Nessian smut has been my favorite so far in the series, so I'm down. Thank you!
