I kinda hate when people act like only 1 half of the ACOTAR fandom contributes to its toxicity, or even that it’s just the people in the fandom itself. Because I agree, people in the fandom are toxic, BUT the books themselves also cultivate this kind of environment and bigotry.

It has tons of issues with race, politics, discussions of mental health, and discussion of abuse. And these themes are often presented to young readers or people who don’t care to challenge them. Of course its fandom is fucking lopsided.

The internet: "omg Fairytales are dark and twisted."

Fairytales: "Alright boys, I'm dying, so one of you is going to be the new king. But, I can't decide which one of you should do it because all three of you are capable of handling the job, so I decided that whoever amongst you is the laziest will rule the kingdom."

So I reread UTM scenes.

The only time she gets slightly internally annoyed/accusatory of Tamlin is when Rhysand walks in on them, and Tamlin takes Rhysands advice and walks away... begrudgingly but for her protection.

So in crazy retcon world, we have her in acomaf saying she's mad at Tam for not doing more for her UTM, and in combining that phrase with the the previously mentioned scene, she's mad at him for not standing up to Rhysand.

Wait wait. Let me try this. Humor me.

"I'm mad at Tamlin for not fighting the male I'm currently with, Rhysand, while UTM. but I'm not mad at Rhysand for giving Tamlin a Reason to defend me." ...

I'm mad that my fiance didn't fight my kidnapper, and help/defend me from the abuse my kidnapper caused me....but I'm not mad at my kidnapper for causing any of that abuse or for being the reason I'm mad at my fiance for not fighting him. Did I kida sorta get that right?

Anyone else remember Rhysand saying the Night Court got rid of slavery in their court because humans couldn't keep secrets..

And not because it was you know. Immoral.

Another brick in the wall of Feyre manipulation. "Oh we got rid of slaves before the other courts, we're just that amazing. Don't you feel safe here?"

tell me again why Nesta just had to wear such a revealing dress when the women of Hewn City could wear more modest clothes. why make her wear something so uncomfortable

I wish the book community would care more about the love interest being well written and having a character arc on its own without being codependent on the FL. I'm sorry, but if he is not his own character, I will not care about the romance.

You know the acotar fandom is broken beyond repair when you see someone on TikTok placing Rhysand—who canonically roofied someone—in the 'would leave my drink with them' category, while putting TARQUIN in the 'would not leave my drink with them' category

I know there’s stuff about the cauldron being corrupted, but I think it’s a lot deeper than that. I think the entire land of Prythian is corrupted.

The magic chooses MEN to be the rulers, despite the far acknowledging and worshipping an absolute FEMALE goddess. Irl this would usually correlates to a matriarchal society

I really hope SJM does something with this because as a person who studied theology she knows that (or maybe she is just a bad writer idk 🤷‍♀️)

One of the problems with the racism against Illyrians is that it is a real place.

I need Americans to understand that Illyria is a real place in Europe. It is in the Balkans and is in modern day Albania.

Calling a group of people, in your fantasy land that you named after them, barbarians is racist and xenophobic.

in all honesty what are we expecting Nesta to do when Cassian and Rhysand (CANONICALLY) start shit with her? Just sit there and take it? make excuses like feyre? clearly we can't have a woman defend herself with mean words so what, exactly are we wanting Nesta to do when Cassian and Rhysand goad her and taunt her

[browneyedartist01]

Gosh are people honestly ok with feyre as a character ? She’s that stupid friend who when she gets on a relationship she ditches her friends but when she isn’t she comes back like nothing ever happened and as an author is sjm thinks Feyre is a strong FMC then she’s lying to herself. She never saved prythian she saved Tamlin.. A MALE/ MAN. Hence forth she did EVERYTHING for Rhysand. All her actions her decisions were based on getting back to a MALE/MAN. She has no friends whatsoever. She got her own engagement ring and other women think it’s cool. Hell she burnt a whole court down without empathy for a male.

And this bitch had the gall to tell Rhys that she fell in love with the first person who showed her kindness… bitch you turned around and did the same thing except this one manipulated you too…🤣 what?

Mind you a women wrote this book. For women by women… this is so sad. So many books have follow suite after ACOTAR. I get it we love these males we create but I’d rather us being worshiped than doing things for a man. Many do it in reality we don’t need the same in our fantasies. Ladies wake up. This is bs…

[browneyedartist01]

it actually does bother me that sjm took the name of a real group of people and just slapped it into acotar. like if you’re gonna be that uncreative at least switch the “i” to an “e” or something so search results aren’t clogged.

My favorite thing about Booktok was SJM fans constantly giving us examples of their poor reading comprehension. Here's an example:

A young lady posts a sideshow that says, verbatim, "I don't want your book recs if you enjoy Sarah J Maas or Colleen Hoover"

Multiple SJM profile pics in the comments: "Or you can just let people read whatever they want. 🙄"

She didn't tell you what you could read it's just that she doesn't trust your recommendations!!!!

Currently writing a fix-it/AU from the Acowar resurrection scene, because I genuinely think it was utterly ridiculous that the HLs all agreed to resurrect Rhysand without any kind of bargain or oath or reparation or whatever from Feysand. Given the entire book basically covers how often feysand fuck over the HLs AND how much said HLs don’t even like much less trust Rhysand…yeah, it’s an unrealistic bordering delusional choice.

Out of 6, only Helion would help without anything in return. Thesan, perhaps, had they not broken the agreement at the meeting they (the IC) themselves called. Beron lives off chaos and hates Rhysand and Cassian and Morrigan and Azriel (valid, given he’s more than likely Rhysand’s father’s (also a famous dickhead) peer). Tarquin *gestures vaguely at Acomaf and acowar*. Kallias *points at UtM*. And Tamlin—who most definitely wants Rhysand and Feyre both drawn and quartered. So no, I don’t see how the HLs—known for their cunning and ruthlessness—would ever voluntarily revive Rhysand, the notoriously evil asshole, without first guaranteeing their own safety.

Because what happens if Rhysand had been reborn with all the powers of the Courts? He would’ve made a play for High King the second he found out Feyre was pregnant, and Koschei was making his move. And he’d be unstoppable then. So they’d need a failsafe at minimum; a way to take back the powers given to Rhysand and kill him if they must. Not to mention, the reparations owed to easily over half of the HLs just by Feyre and Rhysand’s fuckups within the last 50 years.

My point is: the High Lords really should have been smart enough to force Feyre into bargains in exchange for raising Rhysand from the dead. They had no loyalty to him; at least half of them have lived through the exchanging of High Lords. And they’re meant to be cunning! There’s nothing cunning about resurrecting someone, knowing it could go sideways again, and having not a single contingency plan.
