BAND OF EXILES MODERN OUTFITS

Just how I imagine the members of the BoE dress in a modern au

[lainalit]

Lucien get tf out of his room.

Ahh Tamcien. While I’ve enjoyed plenty of romance fics about them, they’re so comfortably platonic in book 1 that I lean towards bromance more. Regardless, Lucien is an incorrigible rake with uncontainable rizz and he’d 100% flirt with Tam just for fun.

This is before the curse, nobody is scarred or masked.

A little sad headcanon I have is that LoA after her two sons died and lucien was exiled from the autumn court, wore mourning attire for a really long time and only once Beron threatens her with the death of another one of her sons, did she dressed in her usually autumn court clothes again

Jassa slavic Moodboard

since the russian folklore story zhar-ptitsa (firebird) in which Vasilisa (Vassa) & Koschei are based off I made a mooadboard out of two soviet union children movies I watched when I was little for Jassa: Аленький цветочек (The Scarlet Flower) & Царевна-лягушка (The Frog Princess)

Beyond the Plains of Scythia

I was so honored and lucky to win this commission for @jassaweek! it was such a privilege to get to work with xo.hkka to create this masterpiece. She is such a kind and wonderful person and an incredible artist.

Jurian and Vassa have defeated Koschei, broken the curse, and now have the whole world ahead of them.

For my own fics, I took a lot of inspiration from the golden age of Mongolia, which you can see here in Vassa's outfit and the vast plains of Scythia. Thank you to Hikka and @jassaweek!

Please make sure to check out xo.hikka on instagram! And enjoy the little piece I wrote to go with this masterpiece!

Vassa felt the last vestiges of sunlight hit her face, relishing in the warmth and the stillness of her body. Never again would she take for granted the golden hour of sunset. With the horses far behind her, she looked out into the sea of grass. Hills rolled softly as sea waves and the fire in the sky stretched on forever. That fire reflected upon her hair, but it no longer burned her alive, no longer shredded her body. The trek from the lake and the surrounding forests took too long. Vassa felt suffocated by the trees as they crossed through mountains and gorges, past the fallen wall. But she held her head high as she led her army back across the border and into Scythia. 

Her mother had told her of the ancestors defeating the Fae armies as a child. How they raised the capital from a slave pit. Vassa’s ancestors rode wild horses to freedom on these hills, and Vassa swore she could hear the horde of nomads in the wind as she rode. She was free again, free from her curse, and the chains of the death god. She spoke her own language again, her Scythian tunic felt like armor against her chest, and Vassa felt like she could breathe again. 

Calloused fingers threaded through hers, tugging her close with the wind. 

“When you told me you called it seagrass, you really meant it,” Jurian said, “What was the word again? In Scythian.”

“Tanaap,” Vassa replied, “It’s the word for steppe, not sea.” She smiled as she watched the light dance along the angles of his face. He stood as tall as a king, but he refused that title. They had been arguing about it for days, and Jurian had convinced her army that he would only be her consort. No doubt he’d convince the entire capital and court within days of their arrival. 

He had not left her side the entire journey. He held her through her night terrors, helped her breathe when she felt like the forest would suffocate her, and he cried with her as they crossed the border. Jurian gasped the first time he saw the steppe, and Vassa could not bring herself to think of the walls he had suffered behind for so long.

“I can see why the humans settled here.” he murmured, his face softening, “Possibility without the fear of eternity. No wall could ever stand here.” 

“And no wall ever will,” Vassa promised, pulling him close. 

Jurian was quiet for a moment as the sun slunk behind the hills, and the sky began to bleed purple. Behind them, the stirrings of camp and the whinny of horses broke the silence. 

“If-” Jurian began, taking a deep breath, “Will your people accept me? After everything I’ve done?” He turned toward her then, his brown eyes filled with worry. 

“You mean, after saving me and leading my army to free me? After killing a death god and stopping Beron Vanserra and the queens?” Vassa cupped his face gently, “They will, they have. After everything you’ve done, you can come home and rest. With me.” She pulled him down, capturing his lips with a sigh. Vassa kissed her General as the sun set, feeling only his lips and his arms wrapped around her. She felt her heart flutter against her chest, but she could not feel her bones breaking with transformation, could not feel the lashing of flames on her back. Vassa only felt the future, now stretched before them like the sea of grass they stood on. 

“Take me home, my queen.”

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

[lainalit]

Jurian plays double agent for one minute (just like Ravioli) and is known for killing a slave owner who enslaved his people

Every time I stand to leave my cage In my broken body, I stay -Body by SYML

You made me feel again Made me dance circles 'round the pieces of your heart You made me feel again After the last time, didn't think that I could love -Blue blood by LAUREL

I don’t need armor I’m more than brave Gotta go harder I will not be a slave Head above water So many waves I am not son or daughter No label, no name -Armor by Iniko

I go crazy 'cause here isn't where I wanna be And satisfaction feels like a distant memory And I can't help myself All I wanna ever say is, "Are you mine?" -R U Mine? by Arctic Monkeys

I don't wanna live forever 'Cause I know I'll be living in vain And I don't wanna fit wherever I just wanna keep calling your name Until you come back home -I Don't Wanna Live Forever by ZAYN & Taylor Swift

But I won't die for love But ever since I met you You could have my heart And I would break it for you -1121 by Halsey

There is a reason I'm still standing I never knew if I'd be landing And I will run fast, outlast Everyone that said no -All the King's Horses by Karmina

and what if I say that the female nesta haters sound just like the sakura haruno haters who are male incel losers

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:

female IC Stans when they hear Vivaldi, Paganini, Bach, Beethoven, Mozart etc.

Men playing a classic instrument is major ick alert, am I right girlies? 🤢🤢🤢🤢

Commission for @tres14bellamy featuring Queen Vassa and Elain, have I mentioned I love drawing these two? <3

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?
