Not to pit two bad bitches against each other, but I see so many "Lucien apartment in Velaris" headcanons, and I can't stop thinking how Azriel's room looks like.

Azriel is efficency over style. He is a sleep deprived workaholic. He doesn't care about interior design. He's probably rarely even there. So, whenever I think about his room, I see this meme:

Band of Exiles

Oddly enough, the costumes for these guys were the easiest to deal with. They live in the mortal lands, so they dress in the fashion of the mortals of this country (???? Geez someone tell me what the piece of Prythian where the mortals live is called? Is it a country? What??????) khem… So… We all know Lucien is the most fashionable fashionista, so he looked at his friends, grabbed his heart and made them both change into decent clothes!

IC Stans: It was never mentioned that Nesta & Elain did any housework in the cabin so therefore Feyre must have done it

Well, SJM herself deems housework as not work, so therefore they probably did the chores since it isn't counted as work and SJM 100% would have mentioned Feyre doing the housework so that reader can feel bad & pity feyre even more

Also Alis and the wraiths are doing housework and has SJM ever acknowledge that they are working in the text?

I love the scientific angle you bring to the entire situation surrounding the prison hewn city.

I also wonder about the potential inbreeding among the fae in Velaris, given that it is a city with its own border, even though the fae appear to choose to reside there voluntarily.

I hope that the high fae in Velaris are at least engaging with the "lesser" fae. However, since the texts don’t clarify the population dynamics in Velaris or whether there is a separation like in the rest of Prythian, it’s difficult to believe that most high fae are mingling with the "lesser" fae, since it appears the concept of that, was only recently established with Tarquin in acomaf when he questioned the whole system of it.

If everyone in Hewn city is unable to escape and is trapped down there for a long, long time until someone gets the heart to free them...

Shouldn't they be inbred?

Weird, I know but think about it.

They're closed off of the outside world and I assume there's a bunch of fae down there but still.

I start reading tome 1 of the ACOTAR series and I’m already in love with the high lord of the spring, Tamlin 🫣🌿🗡️💚

Here’s a sketch of how I picture him in the books. I know he usually has long hair but I was wondering how he would look this way. Hope you’ll like it though 😇

Posting this here because I’m so pleased with how this turned out, but it’s a gift for my sister that she can’t see yet (she’s not on here)

Over the summer she introduced me to acotar. I’ve only gotten as far as the first book but it turns out I’m not immune to the fox man

More thoughts and headcanon on the hewn city and their darkbringers. It fascinated me how complicated their governing are between two sub courts within night. Also wanted to explore how with Night not uniting and remaining sepreated also affects how their territory is protected.

——————————————-🌑🌕

Elite darkbringers are the ones blessed with darkness by the granting of their high lord to protect Night. During the times when Velaris remain as a secret, they are sort of the nightmares that protected the secret dream.

Since the night court ruling is split between two cities, their powers were also weakened and not at full capacity due the lack of presence of the high lord. This weaken Night’s arsenals, but Rhys having the ability to cut off darkness from them also sorta ensure the low possibly of the darkbringers turning on the court of dreams. They can still access a small fraction of Darkness through the ruling authority of the Stewart , Keir ( Who shares blood and is a distant family ) thus the darkbringers are more loyal to him and with that comes the whole politic and exchange when their army is needed.

Feyre's stans get so angry and say, "People are such misogynists that they think Feyre becoming a mom made her useless." Well, what exactly makes them think she hasn't been useless ever since ACOFAS? No one actually cares about what she wants or tells them to do unless Rhys gives his approval too.

What exactly did she do in HOFAS that made her seem "not useless"? She stood there and delivered one or two lines that could have been said by anyone without changing the impact. When people said it was a mistake to make Feyre pregnant so quickly, it was because we already knew SJM wouldn't be capable of doing justice to a pregnant woman or a mother, whether as a main character or even as an important side character (except Yrene).

And you want to know why I at least, thought that? Because both SJM and the fandom have cared more about the Batboys ever since ACOMAF. Feyre is largely known for being Rhysand's mate or for being a painter. Not a warrior or a leader, except for her decorative "High Lady" title. I know this because I (and I'm sure many others) heard about Rhys and those bats before I even read ACOTAR. I only learned Feyre's name when I actually read the book.

What exactly did they think would happen to Feyre, who has contributed less and less ever since the war, when she's no longer the FMC? They want to cry "misogynist"? Direct that to SJM. We're not the misogynists. I and so many others said that it was a mistake to make Feyre pregnant this early.

She is a GODDAMN immortal, and she got pregnant at 22! Think about that. That's SJM's internalized misogyny showing. SJM could have made her an actual feminist icon. A person hungry to learn because now she has the money and resources to get smarter. She could have been a great and compassionate leader or an advocate for the oppressed females in her court. There were so many things she could have done. Instead, SJM made her open a painting studio in her elitist utopia and get pregnant as her "happy ending"? That's SJM's misogyny, not ours.

SJM made Feyre pregnant and focused on taking care of Nyx, causing her to miss out on so much in ACOSF and HOFAS. SJM made Feyre a mother and then made her invisible. That’s SJM's misogyny. Why blame the readers for pointing it out?

And they hate that Nesta became the "cool one" with a healthier, actual friendship with the Valkyries. They're jealous that Nesta has a friendship where they all genuinely respect one another, where Gwyn and Emerie would never let Cassian hide important health information about Nesta from her, unlike the IC with Feyre in that ridiculous pregnancy plot.

Oh, I know how jealous her "stans" and Nesta ant!s are. They're angry that Nesta is still integral even after her book and in another series. And yet somehow we’re the misogynists?

Lol cry harder. Hate on SJM for her inability to write a story where a woman can be a mother and still be a badass instead of sidelining her entirely. Hate her misogyny.
