Sometimes I think about the fact that Eris was originally a girl's name.

Eris was the Greek goddess of strife and discord, roman equivalent being Discordia. She partially inspired the evil witch in sleeping beauty. She was often portrayed enjoying human war and bloodshed, which as a goddess of essentially chaos, kind of makes sense.

She also had a son named Strife, which I feel like was quite the choice.

(All of this information is from a quick google search btw, Greek mythology is pretty interesting)

This is my head cannon of Lucien but imagine as brown skin and with red hair

I find myself increasingly obsessed with Lucien and Eris. How do I stop thinking about Eris burying his kindness so deep, his father will never suspect it is there? How do I stop imagining Eris loving his youngest brother as much as their mother? How do I stop daydreaming about Lucien straining for a glimpse of the lady of autumn, even when his eye cannot manage miracles? Eris sneaking letters to the spring court for Lucien to find? Or Lucien befriending everyone from the guards to the cooks because they’ve shown him greater kindness than any high lord? Eris practicing his sneers in the mirror and hating how it reminds him of beron? Eris planning changes to the autumn court when beron finally dies, starting with ending his brother’s exile? Lucien finally reuniting with his mother and the three of them becoming the family they always wanted? How do I stop thinking these thoughts?????

Sure, Night Court drama is interesting. You got that whole thing with Cassian, Mor and Azriel. You got Cassian and Nesta ETL. You got whatever is going on with Azriel, Elain, Lucien and potentially Gwyn. You've got the Archeron sisters fighting like cats and dogs. You've got Rhys thinking he's doing the right thing but he's actually fucking up majorly. It's messy as hell. It's a trashy reality TV show that's kind of cringey to watch, but you watch it anyway because you can't look away from the clusterfuck.

But the Autumn Court? The Autumn Court is in a league of its own. You got Lucien being the product of an affair between the LOA and Helion that spanned centuries. You've got everyone knowing that Lucien is the product of this affair except for Lucien and Helion themselves. You've got LOA hating her abusive husbands guts but not doing anything about it besides probably plotting his death with her eldest son. You got the Vanserra brothers actively despising each other and throwing each other under the bus every chance they get. You've got the whole shit with poor Jesminda that Lucien spent centuries blaming Eris for, even though Eris did what he could to try and help. You've got an entire court running on shitty policies that someone needs to do something about. You've got centuries of bad blood in a family, where truly anything could have occurred. The alliances, the betrayals, the scandals.

That is a reality TV show that I would watch the shit out of.

"Autumn Court males have fire in their blood— and they fuck like it, too."

SJM can't just say that and not make one of the archeron sisters end up with an autumn court male.

The most romantic thing that anyone could do for Eris Vanserra would be to kill his father.

whatever is going on in the autumn court is easily the most ambitious plotline of this series and I will never recover if it goes to waste. the intrigue, the secret affair, the betrayals. game of thrones but with faeries.
