If it isn’t Prythians favourite no good scheming con artists🤭
I personally thought Feysand makes so much sense for Road to El Dorado with the way they play their enemies like a fiddle.
Trying to think of childhood film duos that fit Rowan and Aelin….they are schemers too but more so than Tulio and Miguel. Hell Aelin even tricks her own friends 😭😆
Trying to create all these intricate reasons as to why Rhys doesn’t like Nesta when it’s literally as simple as you aren’t going to like someone who mistreats your loved ones. There’s nothing more to it.
Y’all praise Nesta for having “human reactions” to the things she goes through but then demonize Rhys for displaying one of the most human emotions. Being defensive over your loved ones. If you’re protective over your family (which most humans are) you don’t have a hard time understanding why Rhys just doesn’t like Nesta.
We are not talking enough about the letters that Rhys sent to the human queens
“I write to you not as a High Lord, but as a male in love with a woman who was once human. I write to you to beg you to act quickly. To save her people— to help save my own. I write to you so one day we might know true peace. So I might one day be able to live in a world where the woman I love may visit her family without fear of hatred and reprisal. A better world.”
HE WROTE THIS WHEN FEYRE HADN'T ACCEPTED THE BOND YET
HE WROTE THIS WHEN HE DIDN'T KNOW IF SHE WOULD EVER ACCEPT THE BOND
“Rhys’s wing curved around me, herding me closer to where I could nearly feel the heat of his powerful body. “I promise I won’t let the wind destroy your hair.” ”
You know why I love Feysand? One of the reasons is because there's a balance between them. In a way they complete each other.
Feyre is all forgiveness, love and a pleaser.
But Rhysand on the other hand is all revenge, hate and never forget.
Whenever he's drowning in hatred for himself, for people who wronged his loved ones, she's there to pull him up and shower him with love, respect and reminding him of goodness.
And whenever she is being too forgiving to the point she's forgetting herself or to put herself first, he's there to bring justice and be a shield for her from the injustice of it all.
That's why this is one of my favorite scene of them:
He's saying he can't forgive anyone who wronged her. But she remembers the ones who wronged him and notices he doesn't care about himself, his hatred for himself won't allow it.
She's saying he has to forgive at some point. He's there to remind her that maybe it's okay to admit that some people have made her suffer.
It's this back and forth between them. It balances them.
He's always self sacrificing himself to keep his loved ones safe, to make them comfortable, to be a shield. And Feyre came to his life, saw right throw all of them and let him to burden her with some of those duties he put himself up for them.
Sometimes it's a wrong trait but it's never out of malice.
And she is always too forgiving, putting everyone else first, always backing down when some times she needs to back up for herself and she let herself to forget them. But he won't, he will remember, he'll defend her if it's needed and when someone crosses a line, he's there to remind them to back down.
Sometimes she let people take too much from her and it might hurt her in the process. A wrong trait of her.
They're the definition of "I will give my love for the both of us" and "I will give my hatred for the both of us"... does that make sense?
