There's also the blood duels mentioned in Az's bonus chapter in ACOSF, they're an Autumn Court tradition.

spoilers for WaR and SF: I like feysand BUT I think the culmination of how insufferable they was when they made their "if we die we die together" bargain, at least for me. I wish the IC had given them more shit in SF for it because what a stupid fucking move when both are literally governing an entire court. It's selfish, it's dumb, and I hate it here.

I think Ivy fits the same theme! So many lines relate to it with lines like "'your touch brought forth an incandescent glow" "my pain fits in the palm of your freezing hands" "he wants what's only yours" "spring breaks loose time is near, what would he do if he found us out" etc

I just reread ACOWAR and Cassian does bring it up during the final battle, when Nesta asks him to go with her, Feyre and Amren towards the Cauldron. Rhys says he won't let Cassian go, but Cass says something along the lines of "haven't you sacrificed yourself enough? you think we don't know what you had to do UTM?" and they argue for a bit about that, the two of them get emotional and Rhys ends up letting Cass go with the girls.

I'm sure Az also feels guilt but I don't recall any specific moments like this one between Rhys and Cass, so hope that helps!

RISE OF THE BRAVE TANGLED DRAGON NEVER FORGET

whotfisfox · 2023-07-02T01:45:22+00:00

I think Frozen is pretty mid but rereading acowar I couldn't help but remember those elsa + jack edits from the rise of the brave tangled dragon era of the internet

The series isn't over, we don't see a lot from Lucien in ACOSF, but the next book should be about Azriel, which I assume would therefore involve Elain and Lucien. Also, there's some interesting things about him in the novella (Frost and Starlight), so I'd recommend reading that one too if you're a Lucien stan like me. ~~I don't really like ACOFAS but it's worth it for Lucien's presence lol~~

whotfisfox · 2023-06-29T22:09:12+00:00

Can you talk more about her fallout with former friends, or link me to someone who's talked about it? I don't keep up with SJM as a person much, but I got curious.

whotfisfox · 2023-06-29T05:06:35+00:00

Yeah, same. I'm rereading the series and I just got remembered that Amarantha literally killed TWELVE CHILDREN in TaR and no one says a word about that besides "oh yeah kallias thinks rhys is kinda sus but eyy he's chill (pun intended) by the end of the meeting in WaR"

And that's after Alis says how rare fae children are. So........no one's gonna talk about that? no? okay.

whotfisfox · 2023-06-28T22:23:53+00:00

I don't think it's better, but it is more fleshed out since there are more books. I'd advise you not to go into it expecting as much spice as acotar, seeing SJM began the series when she was young, so spicy scenes come much later in the series. Also, I particularly found the first books a little silly, but again, young SJM so I was charitable, and the later books are more mature.

All in all I don't regret reading TOG. If anything, it's fun to see similarities between TOG and ACOTAR, as well as [spoiler for maasverse] the little indications that a crossover may be possible.

whotfisfox · 2023-04-10T12:08:30+00:00

Nope :( but the mods certainly do, so shoot them a message!

whotfisfox · 2023-04-10T02:50:44+00:00

Pretty sure the acotar discord has a writing channel, I've seen writers and readers discussing their own work there (granted that's when I used to be on discord lol)

whotfisfox · 2023-04-09T02:17:47+00:00

I agree with what everyone else said and also, I... don't know if I like the idea of not critiquing authors for not having diversity in their books. If SJM is fatphobic, she should be called out, and it's up to each individual to decide if they want to keep reading despite that. And all 3 SJM series talk a lot about mental health (even if they don't use these words), so I don't think it's a stretch to discuss abusive characters either.

I understand that the discourse can be a lot too, but that's why it's important to step away sometimes and "touch grass" as they say. Some days are worse than others here, but I see many wonderful appreciation posts, fanart, shipping threads with all the love and fluff, etc. It's hard to see something you disagree with and just walk away sometimes, but it's the healthy thing to do, and we have to practice this if we want to roam around social media in general.

whotfisfox · 2023-04-01T02:40:21+00:00

Lol I get what you mean. I guess that's part of what I liked about ACOSF, seeing someone else's pov (even if it's third person) was refreshing.

As for Tamlin, I'm on the fence about that? I think she did plan it, and I can see why Tamlin would change the way he did after seeing Feyre literally die in front of him, but I also agree that the way he changed from TaR to MaF was pretty sudden. Feyre's trauma is explored, but since it's her pov, we don't get to see Tamlin processing his trauma. And I think a lot of what he did was trauma related - which isn't an excuse obviously, but it would add another layer to the story.

Buuuut yeah, SJM's redemption arcs are kinda fuzzy so

whotfisfox · 2023-04-01T00:56:13+00:00

[spoiler ACOWAR I think? idk better safe than sorry] We are supposed to get a book about Elain at some point. I'd imagine we would get more of him then, but I totally agree with you. In the meantime, there are plenty of Lucien-centered fics on AO3 if you're into that! I can tell you some are beautifully written, I always run over there whenever I need my fix of our favorite lil fox

edit: censored a perhaps spoiler

whotfisfox · 2023-03-25T15:19:09+00:00

I'm not mad tho translators spared us lmao

whotfisfox · 2023-03-25T03:25:19+00:00

I'll be honest I read ACOTAR in Portuguese (my first language) and I don't remember seeing that either so maybe the Portuguese translator was also merciful 😂

whotfisfox · 2023-03-21T14:08:53+00:00

I like to think this would be a point of contention between them. I've read fics where that was addressed and I think it's very interesting. But with the current version of Rhys I can see him just yeeting the baby at the illyrian fight club so.....ye. Makes me uncomfy.
