“My name is Celaena Sardothien and I will not be afraid.”

reemerging after 104 years to post my celaena halloween cosplay and disappear again

I’m prepared and yet not. Ready to get ripped to shreds. Much like in real life, SJM reminds me that you should never trust a man. They either hurt you or die and there is no inbetween.

***** ToG Spoilers *****

I know we mention a lot that the phrase “nameless is my price” is used by a lot of people / things when referring to Aelin, but tell me how I never realised and haven’t seen anyone talk about how in Crown of Midnight when Celaena goes to ask Yellowlegs about the Wyrdkey riddle that even Yellowlegs says nameless is my price, and then tries to kill her.

Wtf I thought Rowan was fae NOT a vampire?🤣

[jullsisfangirling]

Oh, no! Someone poisoned Celaena

Again

[that-book-bitch]

Does anyone else sometimes think about Ben from tab, like, imagine him helping Celaena through her first period, or comforting her after the first time she killed someone, or him protecting her from Arobynn as much as he could, or him teaching her how to throw a punch the first time they train, or him finding out about Sam’s crush on her and giving him the dad talk but then shipping them hard after that. I just really want some more backstory about him because he was obviously really important to Celaena, and he obviously cared a lot about her.

Arobynn Hamel

The moment I knew that I was going to hate Arobynn Hamel was literally within the first 50 pages when he sent Celaena to acquire the slaves.

Rereading The Assassin's blade, I couldn't believe that he sent her to do that knowing her past and what happened to her people during the war.

[No—she wasn’t human at all. Celaena was Fae.]

Me: Reading TOG: Assassin's Blade

Me: Jesus, Celaena, you don't need to say mean shit to everyone.

Me: Okay, why can we not just talk about our feelings and be honest?

Me: STOP BEING SO OFF PUTTING TO EVERYONE AND MOODY

Me: remembers that these characters are teenagers with no sense of support systems and no emotional regulation.

Me: Sometimes it's good to be humbled.

***** MINOR TOG SPOILERS *****

So part of this ToG series re-read is being able to pick up on things that I never noticed before / didn’t realise the ironicness of a situation or the foreshadowing because I didn’t know the outcome before. When i tell you there is too much foreshadowing to mention everything I mean there is. so. much. foreshadowing. and. hints. EVERYWHERE. and they aren’t even spoiler foreshadowing or hints, they are just small things like subtly hinting at Celaena’s heritage both book 1 & 2 or the foreshadowing of Kaltain’s death a book beforehand, so on, so forth.

One that I’ve just read and hadn’t put together even after the few re-reads i’ve done, is after Nehemia has died and Celaena has been placed in the dungeon. Chaol and Dorian are having a moment on the servants steps when Chaol is telling Dorian about the events leading up to Nehemia’s death, specifically when Chaol doesn’t understand how Celaena could run faster than a horse and before Celaena goes to the warehouse she describes her ‘killing calm’ and that even Arobynn didn’t realise how calm she could get when she went over the edge.

My theory is that when she slips into the ultra ‘killing calm’ (not just her regular killing calm), she somehow unlocks part of her Fae heritage and while the dampen on magic means she can’t fully shift, somehow a little bit of it seeps out and makes her vision better, her breath more stable, legs faster and stronger - basically everything she would get from the shift but on a smaller but still noticeable scale that allows her to run faster than a horse.

Side note - don’t get me wrong she is still strong, fast and more than capable of killing without it (i mean she’s a highly trained assassin for gods sake) but it’s just enhances her
