La Sirena, Giulio Aristide Sartorio, 1893

[lune-de-miel-au-paradis]

Let's chat about Feyre's first visit to the Court of Nightmares and the "distraction", Part 1. My question is - can anyone explain why it worked?

Like, the fairies of the CoN know Rhysand is crazy and served Amaranta for 50 years. What's so shocking he bring a whore escort girl? I thought SJM's fairies are more chaste (?) than fairies of Holly Black, who are, you know, not shy about nudity, premarital sex and multiple lovers. Maybe Keir and others weren't distracted by "action" itself, but by Rhysand's offensive behavior. But wouldn't it be a thousand times more offensive if it were Mor or some the CoN man's sister/wife/mother? What difference does it make to them what Rhysand does to Feyre, when she's presented as a piece of meat for the High Lord's pleasure?

Let's say it was "action" that distracted them. Am I supposed to believe fairies who have lived for hundreds years would be bothered by soft petting? Or the smell of Feysand's arousal was so toxic that audience's brains shut down? Do the fairies of CoN have sex only in the missionary position under a blanket in pitch darkness? I don't think Rhysand could've dreamed of such level of sexual liberation or asexuality that would be natural to a society like the CoN. And in either case, they would've paid no attention to Feyre, and Rhysand's stupid plan would've failed.

And a quick remark about Feyre's behavior (where would we be without our little star?). I like (no) she doesn't see it as a repeat of UTM. And I like (no) how SJM presents it not as sexual objectification and exploitation of a woman's body by a man, but as a moment of Feyre's woman power and her liberation. (I think the ACOTAR series would have been grandpa Freud's favorite book, lol).

Now here's icing on the cake. I don't think Tamlin is worst abuser ever, but Rhysand is, because abusers are often very persuasive. Tamlin convinced Feyre that it was dangerous to go with him. Was he able to convince her? Nah. In the end, Tamlin locks her away. Was that cruel? Yes, absolutely. Was that logical? Hell yeah. Rhysand convinces Feyre that exposing her as his whore to everyone in the CoN is necessary and there are no other options. Did this convince Feyre, who had barely survived UTM with Amarantha and Rhysand's tortures, and Tamlin's isolation? Yes, and it was fucking absurd! Did it make sense? Not a bit!

I think Keir and fairies of the CoN would've been far more shocked and distracted if the situation looked like... you can see the second part in the next post and draw your own conclusuions ☝️

Warning: I'm not a writer at all, especially in English (not my native language). I would never have written Feyre just thinks about sympathizing with Rhysand and Rhysand regrets what he did until the end of ACOWAR, so this piece of sh... text is just a parody of SJM 😁. But at least it makes fucking sense, unlike the original.

[lune-de-miel-au-paradis]

Feyre being the root cause as to why Nesta & the IC didn’t get off on a good foot originally is actually crazy.

Now that’s not to say she is the only cause because she definitely is not but she is the one who set the tone.

Especially when you realise that when she went back over the wall for Tamlin one of the last conversations Feyre had with Nesta was how Rhysand placed a decapitated head on the statue in the spring court garden & how he held her mind against her will & then she turns up months later after 0 contact with the very same male she said committed these heinous acts.

Like I don’t think people actually understand how insane that would look to anyone, not just Nesta and then Feyre only ever tells Rhysand & the inner circle Nesta supposedly never did anything, she complained, spent the money & was cruel…when more time Nesta was the one who took care of the household, she began learning how to use a bow & arrow to help Feyre with hunting, she was the one who went to the wall for Feyre, she was the one that told Feyre she wanted a better relationship with her. So Feyre conveniently “forgetting” to not mention the good of either side gives off that “I’m the only one who can be a victim” & “woe is me” bullshit she keeps doing.

Yet Feyre only ever told each side the negatives & wondered why neither were receptive to each other & to top it all off Feyre comes back as fae & acts like it’s the most normal thing in the world & her attitude & arrogance is even worse than before.

Hewn City…

I will never understand how Feyre can go into Hewn City with not an ounce of empathy for the citizens. She acknowledges that this is the OG UtM and she has to stop herself from being triggered when thinking about it.

Feyre hears one single story about Mor and her family, not the entire city, and she now delights in everyone’s suffering, not just Mor’s parents. She knows Azriel tortures people there.

You’d think that with how much trauma she received after only 3 months UtM that she’d feel SOMETHING for the people of Hewn City given they’ve lived this nightmare for centuries. Every single thing about this scene should have triggered so much but she feels nothing but arousal from Rhysand disgustingly feeling her up in front of non-consenting bystanders.

This scene was not sexy. It was not a serve or girlboss moment. It was a fucking nightmare and I’m baffled by how it was handled.

A study of 2 Timothy 3

Have any of you ever known something to be true and yet, no matter how hard you try - you just can't get others to believe you? I know if you have walked with Jesus for any time whatsoever you will say yes, and this is the single greatest reason to be misunderstood or unheard. However, this is not always the case and sometimes we have to deal with misunderstandings and being unheard by those around us. I tried to prove myself right in a wide range of areas of my life. In the end - it only led to more pain than it is worth, but with it I learned very valuable lessons.

#1: It is not my job to "save" anyone and I can't change a person's heart. That job belongs to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. My job is to plant seeds.

#2: The way to change a person is to be salt and light in a dark world and that requires genuine change on the part of the disciple.

#3: There is no sitting on the fence with one foot in the world and one foot in the Kingdom. We can't be the bride of Christ and the girlfriend of Satan.

Question: Why do we do this - even as small children we test the boundaries our parents set up and as adults we want to tread the thin line of just good enough for God? Or worse - we run Gods love through the ringer because we expect Him to be like men/women we have dealt with in the past. So, we push and push to see what it will take to push God away from us. Kinda messed up of us when you really think about it - Thank God for God being God - who is long-suffering towards our stupidity.

I also learned that talking about it is useless unless you are talking to someone who can actually do something about it. I could talk to Gabby Gossip about my family or the stranger that was rude to me and we could talk about how all their actions were wrong and how horrible they are and how we would never act in such a way... I think Jesus talked about such people once - one prayed and was thankful he was not like others and the other knew he didn't deserve to be in the presence of God due to his sin. The first had pride and God resists the proud and the other - well he walked away cleansed of his sins.

2 Timothy 3

Evil in the Last Days

1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. 2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, 4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; 5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. 6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, 7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. 8 Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith. 9 But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as theirs also was. 10 But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience, 11 Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the Lord delivered me. 12 Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. 13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived. 14 But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them; 15 And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. 16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 17 That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.

Do you know what hit me tonight... I mean really hit me: Of course, things are hard right now and people are toxically peopling, and the devil is running all around the world puffing toxic glitter everywhere. His time truly is short and the shorter it gets - the crazier Gods children will sound and the more we will be hated. That is the deal - the student is not above his Master.

What to do if you find yourself in this category? First - its ok to go throw up now. Second - SWALLOW IT! Right now, swallow that pride and tell the Father you are sorry. There is no sense in holding on to this one. IF the Lord has allowed you to see who you are in these verses - Do. Not. Run. From. God. He allowed you to see yourself because He desires to forgive you. No one comes to the knowledge of the truth unless the Father calls him. If you find ANY of the things above in you - pray for the Father to lift the ungodly ways off of you and He will be merciful and gracious!

Side Note: Verses 6-7 need to be addressed - I have said many times in the past that narcissists are the devil. I am not talking about the percent of people who are avoidants or autistic and mislabeled - I am talking about the true narcissist. Verse six is literally the biblical definition of a narcissist. The amount of narcissism found in the world seems to be ever growing and it does not show any signs of slowing down. Which from a biblical viewpoint - that makes sense. It is exactly what the Bible said would happen.

The reason I have highlighted these two verses is because this is EXACTLY what a narcissist does to their victims. I have talked to countless women and men who have experienced this form of abuse and more often than not - there was something in the narc that drew them in. Normally it is just as verse seven puts it: drawn away due to the folly of their own hearts. This was the answer all the people gave me and that includes myself. I was a silly woman lead away captive by my own lusts at one point. God can save us from ourselves IF we allow Him too... He saved me.

As we watch the world around us and the people around the world just acting all kinds of wickedly - the description fits all of the above - we know we are in the last days. Things only get weirder from here on out and we will need all of our everything we possess to stand in these last and evil days. This is what I mean by standing on truth. There are many I know that will agree with me and others that just want me to be silent. The devil most of all.

I have lost a lot of friends and social life because I can't find anything more important to speak on than the return of Christ and when I do find myself in conversations dealing with the mundane - I want to stab my ear drums... most of the time. However, I know in my heart of hearts, deep in my soul, clean through my bones that we don't have long left on the earth as we know it. It could be years and years away but who knows if you will not be turned over to a reprobate mind if you wait.

If I run into you on the street and we strike up a conversation, but I can visually see you sinking into a pit of quicksand - how do you want me to proceed with our little chat? Should we continue to talk about the weather, politics, and Sally's newest hot tea OR would you like for me to tell you that you have a problem and help get you out of the mire?

Golden Age

Right now, the world is lining up for something BIG and everyone can feel it, and most know about it - in whatever form they pushed it to each of us. Most think it is the end of something old and the beginning of something new - even if the form in which it comes is not alike. We can agree that something big is indeed on the cusp of going down. 2030 seems to be a very popular date for the powers that be. It does not seem to matter which organization or foundation or agency you listen too - they all seem to be talking about the same year.

Everyone in the 1% groups of the world seem to be building towards a better future for all mankind. I have to admit a lot of it sounds fantastic if you only have eyes for this world and even if your eyes are on God - the advancements we have made in the last 200 years alone blow my mind. (I think it is rediscovered tech from before the flood. Jesus said: as in the days of Noah... just sayin.) Wanna know what I think? Of course you do, that is why you are here.

I see the beast system being laid out before the world like a finely decorated cake on a golden dish and all the world wants a slice of heaven on earth - that is not going to end well for any who fall in line with the system that is rising. I have no idea what is about to unfold around the world but if any of you have been paying attention to the news - correct me if I am wrong - but the stage seems to be being set up for something big!

To all those who may be fearful in these last days - you were not put here on accident, and you were made for such a time as this! Gods got you. Pray, read your Bible and stay in fellowship with other followers of the Way. Read the Exodus story of how God protected the Children of Israel from the ten plagues that He sent on Egypt. I truly believe we will be taken care of until the day He comes and takes us home... no matter what you believe when it comes to that. The important thing is to be ready for Him to come back - because He IS coming back - if not now, later.

Erm so why am I just now finding out/being reminded that Nesta did in fact learn how to use the bow & arrow with the intention to help Feyre hunt but in the end she didn’t because she wasn’t any good at it because she didn’t practice long enough…I swear I always thought that this was me confusing Fanon with Canon but apparently not😩

You mean to tell me Feyre stayed lying on my girl?!!! Anything to make Nesta look nasty & cruel.

[lune-de-miel-au-paradis]

I suddenly realized that for Rhysand, the only way to atone for any guilt is death.

He died in the war with Hybern, so it's not surprising that later in ACOFAS and ACOSF he practically pushes and pushes Tamlin and Nesta to die, in order to atone for their guilt before him his precious Feyre 😮‍💨

Also dude uses Illyrians and Darkbringers as cannon fodder because that's the only way they can atone for their existence, for who they are. And Mr. "the most powerful High Lord" has settled comfortably in Velaris, surrounded himself with ass-kissers and raised very young wife, in whose mind he lives rent-free, to serve him.

I think the IC is very proud that they are unquestioningly ready to die for Rhysand if he asks. Mind you - not for their homeland, people or just peace, not in cases when there is no other choice, but at Rhysand's whim. Okay, they consider each other family, and fighting and dying for this is really quite heroic. But let's be honest - this family is based on a deep, even toxic gratitude to rich privileged boy for taking them in. Sure, they each benefited, and it's better than their past anyway. But it bothers me that their whole life is only Rhysand, only their duty to him. Like, not once in centuries Cassian, Azriel, Mor thought about other options? In the huge Prythian and beyond, they have only two paths - Illyria/CoN or Velaris? Of course, between hell and golden cage the choice is obvious, Cassian is forbidden the path to the Summer Court, and Mor - to the Autumn Court, but still there are other options.

Feyre too, either the Spring Court or the Night Court. Nesta too, either the House of Wind or the mortal lands. Why do you create a big world to suffocate readers and characters with illusion of choosing between lesser and greater evils?

Returning to Rhysand, his crowning drama is the death pact with Feyre. You love this woman. You'll do anything for her, even be a villain. You don't care about rules because your feelings are so strong - and all so that she can die with you? But... you can kill yourself without a deal, like Romeo and Juliet, so why you give your enemies a chance to kill both rulers of the Court?

Yeah, sometimes love makes you stupid. But this is a goddamn book, fairies, fake world. In it, Feyre, after a fatal birth, can even stand on her head a few days later because she's a FAIRY. So for me, the excuse like "well, she just had a difficult birth, that's why Rhysand is in HOFAS" doesn't work.

Back to Rhysand again (sorry, so many thoughts 😅). He values ​​one moment, after which nothing (or who knows what), more than a very, very long life to work, travel, study, get to know yourself, correct mistakes, help others. One city is more important than the whole Court. And Rhysand is the center of universe, the most unique and irreplaceable.

Am I against it? No. Why then do I grumble? This level of egocentrism and blindness would suit a god or a devil, against whom the main characters fight. But Rhysand is a different character. And the author positions him as just a cool, ambiguous guy who only likes to fuck.

It seems we lost a little more than just a morally gray character...

[lune-de-miel-au-paradis]

Feyre is so, SO annoying when she goes on a monologue about how powerful she is and blah blah blah. I just can't stand her.

[lune-de-miel-au-paradis]

Me, shaking my head at Feyre....PART 2

Also chapter 8 of ACOMAF -

Tamlin tells Feyre:

"Because you undermine the laws of this court when you behave like that. Because this is how things are done here, and when you hand that gluttonous faerie the money she needs, it makes me - it makes this entire court - look weak."

To which Feyre replies:

"Don't you talk to me like that."

Now I know that the circumstances were very different and I'm not arguing about the actions that lead to these conversations. I'm pointing out that Feyre such as hell did not like Tamlin telling her that her actions were hurting his image. And that made me think about chapter 2 of ACOSF when Feyre tells Nesta:

"It's about how it reflects upon me, upon Rhys, and upon my court when my damned sister spends money and does nothing to contribute to this city! If my sister cannot be controlled, then why should we have the right to rule over anyone else."

Ohhh ok Feyre so now image IS important.

And I just have to mention that having to go back to ACOSF and re-read this chapter filled me with a renewed rage, the Inner Circle can seriously just go fuck right off.

[lune-de-miel-au-paradis]

Can we all agree that Tarquin only seemed to like Feyre because we were in Feyre’s POV? Either he was just trying to be polite, or Feyre (canonically) thinks everyone loves her so Tarquin must too.

I mean. Tarquin just became an adult first of all. And one of Feyre’s first things she mentions is that Tarquin’s staring at her revealing dress because he’s interested. Personally, my theory is that he’s staring because he can’t believe the audacity of someone wearing a dress that revealing to a political meeting.

And the whole “it would be very easy to love you” thing?? I do not believe it for one second. I think she fucked with his mind.

[lune-de-miel-au-paradis]

Not only is Feyre cringy when she thinks she and her friends are the most benevolent and powerful people on the continent, but she also acts like an influencer who believes her "good influence" should be showcased by opening an art studio like she has nothing else to prioritize as a leader while flaunting her wealth by building yet another mansion for herself, as if her people weren’t living in a slum just fifteen minutes away.

She keeps repeatedly violating other courts, deceiving and committing war crimes at an alarming rate in her short life while (I’m sorry to say this as a feminist because trust me, it pains me to acknowledge that this series is supposedly about 'girl power' and 'yay feminism') sleeping with a man to get her role. I think her head belongs on a spike for being such an incompetent leader while simultaneously being a highly successful war criminal, and her husband should be the one to swing the sword to her neck as extra punishment for him, before the people promptly guillotine him two seconds later. There, you got your death pact, Feysand.

[lune-de-miel-au-paradis]

you know the part in time loop movies where the character gets fed up about having to relive the same day over and over and just... gives up. stops predicting what people are about to say, stops catching that mug before it falls. gets fed up over every single little thing repeating and just. shuts down. because if the day starts over and over anyway, what's the point of doing anything? and they try to get it to just finally fucking end but it doesn't work because no matter what they do the day just. starts over. that's how I feel.

[lune-de-miel-au-paradis]

Someday I'm gonna write another time loop story solely so that I can subtly reference all my favorite time loop stories anyways feel free to reblog and tell me your favorite time loop media in the tags so I know if I'm missing any good ones

[lune-de-miel-au-paradis]

wild ACOTAR theory that I'm already writing into fanfic

(it kind of makes sense, but it's also SJM so I know deep on my soul that she wouldn't do that)

(honestly, why I have so many ideas and I haven't written them yet, at least this one started brewing a Prologue in my docs!)

Rhysand is not a High Lord of Night anymore.

When he died at the end of ACOWAR the magic transferred to someone else just like it was supposed to.

Then he came back, realised what happened and had to think fast. He got Feyre into suicide pact to not only protect himself but to have an excuse to be less hands-on. He is still extremely powerful, but not High Lord level powerful and doesn't want people, and especially his enemies, to realise that he is weakened and they have a chance to strike.

What is even weirder, new land-chosen High Lord of Night made no move, Rhys still has no idea who it is and is becoming increasingly paranoid.

He puts Feyre in this weird bubble because she became his weak point. He doesn't share any of it with IC because Mr. I-don't-enforce-rank-in-my-court, who also has no problem enforcing it when they disagree with him, would lose that ability.

Anyway, thank you

Also, how do you come up with fanfic names?

[lune-de-miel-au-paradis]

What if Nyx, due to Nesta using her Death powers to save him, obtain the ability to see ghosts and befriend them.

He talks often about a girl, with a gentle smile, who tell him stories about lands very different from Velaris.

His parents thinks that Nyx just have a very powerful imagination, until one evening he comes to them and ask "Dad, is it true? You capture my friend and kill her? ".

Rhysand don't know what to say, he don't even know who is this friend.

"Who is your friend, dear?" ask Feyre.

"Aunt Nesta's friend"

"Who?" ask Nesta.

"Clare"
