I'm finally finished with my Feyre Under the Mountain fanart. I think she is pretty close of how I imagined her in the books. What do you think? Do you imagined her like that too?

I just started an Instagram for my fantasy book fanarts. if you like my picture you can find more there <3 @celestarly

Women’s Week: March 7, 2015 (Day 6) ↳  unfairly treated female character: elena gilbert (the vampire diaries)

Torn between writing Rhys (respectful, gentle, would lay down in a puddle so that his wife can keep her feet dry) or Rhys (enthusiastic war criminal)

I saw an interesting book tok video where the creator talked about how she was frustrated with authors writing in a way that treats readers like they’re stupid (over explaining and over emphasizing). By not allowing room for inference it can feel like stories are being dumbed down.

And while I really resonate with her experience, if the ACOTAR fandom has shown us anything, it is that readers today do not possess the literacy skills to make educated inferences.

Azriel’s bonus chapter starts with a romantic interaction with Elain, followed by Azriel literally addressing the 3 brothers 3 sisters motif that fans speculated on FOR YEARS! And a portion of this fandom warped that into “just lust” and “entitlement”. They hyper fixated on “the third” and ignored the conclusion the author was trying to lead them to! SJM basically screamed a pattern is being subverted, pay attention, and they read that as Azriel just wants a mate. How do you run face first into the point and still miss it?!Then if anyone counters their deeply flawed logic they hide behind interpretation, theories and opinions.

Bryce and Hunt are canon confirmed mates, in love but nope she is actually mates with Azriel and will end up with him. Nesta and Cassian are in love, confirmed mates but she will for sure leave Cassian or he will die so she can end up with Eris.

SJM is literally spelling out in bold letters the upcoming plot points and romantic pairings, but some people still don’t get it. They don’t want to get it so they just pretend that the situation is debatable when it is not. Honestly SJM needs to treat this fandom like they are even dumber, because that is how they act. Unless it is stated as fact (and sometimes not even then) it is up for interpretation or debate.

So I fear stupid writing is here to stay as readers intent on “interpreting” books to their taste make it impossible for writers to use any literary technique outside of blatant explanation. Look at Rebecca Yarros, she literally had to use her press tour to control the fandom narrative on certain situations and characters. These mass consumption readers were starting to place conspiracy theories over the plot she wrote!

Readers no longer care about stories. They read for consumption and want fanfic style books that are written like soap operas. Plot be damned, foreshadowing irrelevant, just make my favorite character infallible and fuck over anyone who opposes her.

Considering this, I fear we are all in for a bumpy ride as this series progresses. Strap in folks, it only gets weirder (and dumber) from here.

"In silence, we worked, then set about filling the platters with the food Nuala and Cerridwen signaled was ready, their shadows veiling them more than usual. To grant us some sense of privacy. I threw them a look of gratitude, but they both shook their heads. No thanks necessary. They’d spent more time with Elain than even I had. They understood her moods, what she sometimes needed."

I don’t know about you guys, but I’m genuinely so excited to read more about Elain’s friendship with Nuala and Cerridwen and learn more about them separately as characters.

"for you, i would" is such a gentle and sweet love language like no maybe i wouldn't usually do this but i would love to do it if it would make you happy.

Azriel and Elain cloud gazing when they get a moment to be away from everyones watchful gaze.

one thing i know is that if elain was kidnapped from her bed in the middle of the night and thrown into a deadly competition, the gods themselves wouldn’t have been able to keep azriel from getting her back 🙂‍↕️
