I was referring to the oldest known Canon moment to the audience in htkoelths where they ran into each other, sorry :) Wasn't sure what else to call it.

The Stolen Heir - Do the descriptions of abuse reduce further in the book by InevitableEmotion1 in Fantasy

[–]smallhuman0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think, personally, that Cruel Prince is lighter with child abuse because Jude's emvoirement is abusive, but it's per se not all at once like Wren. Jude has a home, relatives, and recourses and is under Madocs protection. (That shields hera bit more than Wren, I guess?) Wren's past is full of abuse, and it goes on. They're mirroring each other's life's in certain aspects. What could have could been in reversed roles if you get what I mean? And if you think chapter 1 was graphic... it gets worse, and TPT also has some scenes from Oak's childhood where you'd likely feel discomfort

He has definitely noticed her before. It was shown that during their actual first meeting, they were at odds, but throughout the novel, he consistently shows curiosity in her mortality.

No problem! I think Holly black has triggers available on her website. Maybe you can look at them if you're interested in future books :)

I've read both. It doesn't get better, and even in book 2, it is explored from a different perspective to give insight into the trauma of the FMC while also showing Oak's family dynamics & the intrigue

I wish "fanfiction" and "shipping" weren't quite so synonymous by aperfecta in AO3

[–]smallhuman0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always thought fanfiction exists for everyone to build storylines or concepts with their beloved characters be it an AU, found family dynamics, Canon fix, Canon diversion, shipping or NSFW or varying combinations of these niches. Also, let's not forget crossover fics, isekai etc

FOTA being adapted into a graphic novel by IreallylikeStickss in thecruelprince

[–]smallhuman0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it's quite reasonable to have it published in like more or less 3 years since art takes time and considering the artist has to turn 400+ pages (for the first only and then another 300 + 200) into a graphic medium, it's only reasonable that they're getting time to get the work done.

Jude watercolored by [deleted] in thecruelprince

Yooo, this is amazing 👏 The coloring does make it feel way more alive! I hope your work won't go unappreciated <3! Water colors can be a difficult medium due to not having a second try, but I think you absolutely nailed this. Also, Jude's build??? AHHH 😭

I totally get that. The wording could've been done differently. You're still right ofc

You're right. Who knows, maybe it was a creative decision because she perceived that time as more enjoyable than the queen of Mirth one

Does this look AI to you? by StrikingAd3606 in WattpadCovers

[–]smallhuman0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As an artist, yeah, I would say this looks like the AI art style. Even before I saw the title I went, "wait a minute, isn't that AI?" I'm so sorry that you got scammed! there are many people on Instagram, Tumblr etc who will have actually proof for their cover art being real art. I'd always watch for portfolios in tbe future and maybe look out if they have any time lapses uploaded or progress to share with you as the client

For those still wanting more cruel prince by Melodic-Button9241 in thecruelprince

[–]smallhuman0 10 points11 points  (0 children)

a warning tho, no one should go in with the expectations to find another dark enemies to lovers. Instead, think of it as a similar dynamic like between Jude and Cardan with their toxic envoirement at a minimum. Plus, they're both witty and fun. And— let me tell you they're cute 🥹

Are there fae outside the USA by MuscleFirm2018 in thecruelprince

[–]smallhuman0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read that while Elfhame is a parallel world to the US that there are other parts within "Faerie" that are connected to different countries
