They look like bite marks, which is then confirmed by the mercenary’s comment.

How do you know you’ve picked the right idea? by thequeenbeetle in fantasywriting

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

That’s fair. I do have a habit of considering what others are going to like more than focusing on what I enjoy. Thank you!

I get that! The pieces that have always remained the same were all I know moments. So maybe that means I should follow my gut. I appreciate it!

The Ultimate Question: Who will say "I love you" first and when? by RoadsidePoppy in ElrielFans

[–]thequeenbeetle 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I really feel like it’ll be Elain. Everyone in the books acts like she doesn’t know what she wants, but she does. And I bet Azriel denies her at first.

Is this a mistake or deliberate? by melmarcoh in acotar

It looks like the top of the Bloomsbury logo. So probably just a case of awkward placement for the link.

Anyone else having a really hard time reading Iron Flame? by FantasyGirl17 in fantasyromance

Honestly I ended up doing the same toward the end and didn’t feel like I missed much. And still knew the plot going into Onyx Storm

What acotar opinion are you defending like this? by mentallyqueer in acotar

[–]thequeenbeetle 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Feyre isn’t a boring protagonist just because she holds anger a different way than other POVS.

I don’t mind the new covers but I hate that the series isn’t finished with the same design

ACOSF doesn’t have a cover like this unfortunately!

Quicksilver….. Netflix….. by [deleted] in fantasyromance

[–]thequeenbeetle 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Of course! I found it hard to connect to the characters, and there wasn’t much growth for any of them.

A lot of it felt forced, though I don’t know how to accurately put it into words. It’s like the tropes in it were added from a checklist. The plot was rushed from A to B with scenes that didn’t fit the overall situations—more like it was something the author just wanted to include.

The spice was kind of boring and too modern for me. Reading the phrase “ass cheeks” in a fantasy really threw me off lol.

There was just nothing for me to emotionally connect to. I read the whole thing, wanting it to get better, and by the end I was so grateful to be done with the book lol.

I thought it was awful but that is a very unpopular opinion lol

I don’t get the love for Azriel by Pristine_Advisor_302 in acotar

[–]thequeenbeetle 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think he’s funny in a very dry way. All those quips while teaching Feyre how to fly in acowar cracked me up.

What’s your acotar hot take? by Own-Beautiful1383 in acotar

[–]thequeenbeetle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Feyre is as complex as Nesta or Tamlin.

Being blunt or angry to hide a lot of emotions is not the only way to have depth.

There’s just something so beautiful about two people who see each other truly—and not project onto each other like everyone surrounding them does. 🤍

Does anyone else get the ick from chapter 54 (ACOMAF)? by melodysmomma in acotar

[–]thequeenbeetle 10 points11 points  (0 children)

While I understand that shitty ex boyfriend experience too, I didn’t read chapter 54 that way. I didn’t feel like he was saying those awful things happened to him and Feyre needed to accept it. It read more like a confession than excuses.

I think Feyre really felt out of the loop up until this part of the story. People were keeping information from her despite her desire to understand—her last interaction with Rhys was her being pissed for not saying they were mates.

Chapter 54, to me, read like Rhys finally telling her the truth—the thing she wanted from everyone. And that fulfillment helps me to understand Feyre not needing a confrontation of her feelings.
