#a feylin....

[thrumbolt]

Lmao people calling me a Feylin is probably the biggest insult.

I haven't liked Feyre since she turned fae. I don't want her anywhere near Tamlin. He can do better!

@feylinweek Day 3 - Alternate Universe

Acomaf AU where everything is the same but Feyre and Tamlin are a little better at communication and compromise.

[arson-09]

Tamlin did everything he did because all he wanted was to protect feyre and make sure she lived.

and rhy/sand wouldn’t even tell her that her own baby would kill her.

[1800naveen]

I was just thinking about the scene with Feyre and Tamlin when they were helping the faerie who lost his wings (this scene cemented my love for Tamlin's character).

The faerie sought out Tamlin. He wasn't from the spring court, HE WENT TO HIM.

AND THEY WANT ME TO NOT LIKE HIM? NEVER.

And then he personally buried him in his lands.

If only Illyrian women knew of him.

Unseen footage from THAT high lord meeting

Beron: I never knew a cock could be so persuasive.

Rhysand: 😡

Tamlin *examining his nails*: Can't have been that persuasive. Amarantha had you to whore for fifty years, and she still wanted me.

The other High Lords:

quick and honest opinion on some ships in ACOTAR

feylin only with first book feyre. if not, tamlin deserves better.

feysand no, no and no.

nessian NO. my beloved nesta deserves so much better than this immature man.

neris yes. see? someone like him. he would treat her like the queen she is.

elriel no. i think azriel is just attracted to elain cause she is an archeron.

elucien YES. they have the potential to be the best couple in the series let's hope sjm dont fuck this up.

gwynriel yeppy! they would be cute and silly:)

tamsand is canon im my head.

emorie NO. emerie deserves to be happy but i feel like mor would be a copy of cassian.

gonna make a part 2 !

Tamlin Under the Mountain:

If he reacted or tried to help her outright, she would’ve been torture and killed.

He didn’t have his magic or freedom of movement- THE ONE TIME he could move towards her, he wanted to say goodbye to woman he loved (and she him) because there WAS NO WAY to get her out so that comfort was all he could give her, knowing she would be meeting the last trial/death deeply loved by him

He was powerless and in love- he was doing everything he could…

[ofbreathandflame-archive]

Wait actually, I lied, here’s another thought:

I think it’s interesting that Rhysand never does these personalized selfless things, similar to how we see with Tamlin. There are so many moments that we witness take initiatives of kindness divorced from how he feels romantically for Feyre, or even his own family. When he goes to bury the Fae, he actually doesn’t want Feyre to come along. And she doesn’t. It’s a moment of just pure kindness that begs nothing in return. Even though Tamlin views Feyre’s family as lacking, he still chooses to return there entire wealth, even before he’d even actually fallen in love for Feyre. He didn’t actually expect anything from her. When she doesn’t say ‘I love you,’ he lets her go, even a detriment to himself and even his court. He doesn’t prioritize his own happiness over hers, weirdly (and ironically enough, considering maf). Even the act of falling for her, he doesn’t rush, so much so that Feyre never really actually notices the direness of his situation.

It’s so weird how much he allows her to discover for herself. So much of their love-story is Feyre observing Tamlin - partially because Feyre’s first introduction is Tamlin, so it makes sense her observations are more poignant. This sounds so pro-Feylin, but like I just noticed that we rarely get moments like that with Feyre and Rhys that aren’t already pre-perceived for us. Tamlin, although he’s supposed to, doesn’t initially want anything to do with Feyre - he’s feelings are developed overtime. This comes at a change from Rhys who, the entire time we know him, seems to already have feelings for her. Feyre never has to *do* anything to have his affection. So much of Feyre’s narration in MaF is just what Rhys said a few chapters ago; she’s never coming to her own conclusions.

In comparison, every Rhys seemingly does always seems to benefit him to some extent. Or to impress Feyre. There are never these moments where Rhys earnestly grapples with people outside his immediate circle. There’s such an isolated mess about his character. I’ve never been able to put my finger on it but this seems like what I’ve been thinking. Tamlin often does things out of kindness that come to his detriment. He saves Feyre when he didn’t have to, he saves Rhys when he doesn’t have to; and these decisions don’t…benefit him. He does it because he has a journey and realizes this is the right thing to do. It’s so weird how’s he unintentionally an actual nuanced character simply because…he faces consequences

[bellavida-loll]

I'll start

Tamlin is the most lovable high lord. He and Rhysand are the only ones we get insight into the lives of, and I have to say I much prefer fiddle playing and limerick writing to whatever it is Rhysand does apart from bang, drink and gamble. His hobbies are just so cute, like him!

Secondly, he's so much sweeter. Rhysand actively withheld information from Feyre that literally meant the end of her life. Rhysand explained away all he did to her under the mountain without so much as a sorry. Rhysand made her into the very thing she said she hated at the beginning of the series- a domesticated, crown-wearing breeding machine.

But Tamlin? All he ever did was try to protect her. He might have gone about it in a better way, but he was going through his own stuff too. Locking her in the house might have aggravated her trauma, but he had no way to know that would happen-because unlike rhystupidslut he does not have direct access to her brain. I can promise you he wouldn't have gotten Feyre without being a daemati- after all the powers don't seem to have any actual use. Tam baby did nothing that would warrant Feyre choosing the tear-licking predator with an Oedipus complex over the cute lord with a lute.

That's all for now, might add more later. Y'all have anything else to add?

@feylinweek Day 4 - Beauty and the Beast

Really going for the low-hanging fruit on this one, but I could not resist.

Also, here's a little bonus:

[viktoriaashleyyx]

Stop reading the books if you don't like any of the IC

I did. Dropped it in the first chapter of ACOFAS. I'm here for fanfics about Tamlin and Nesta getting their happy ever after away from these psychopaths so I can heal and sleep at night. And if anyone wants to write a fanfic about the Hewn city teaming up with a rogue band of escaped illyiran women to overthrow their captors, I will pay you real money for this.

Then why are you even bothering with us?? Just let us enjoy the book as intended

Now bestie, and ima hold your hand when I say this, I am terrified by how quickly you glossed over the enactment of Jim Crow laws in Velaris. Given most of yall are from America, and the disgusting state our country is in in real life, it is more telling what you will accept. Justifying the actions of the IC is the biggest pipeline to the alt right. You can play fantasy all you want but it still shows where your morals lie.

[achaotichuman]

Dont fuckin care what the Rhys stans say, Tamlin willing to make deals with the one man who is more evil than the woman who had turned his whole life into a hellscape, just so he could save Feyre from the man who had tortured her is so fucking hot.

[umthisistheonlyusernamenottaken]

What Tamlin should have done in acomaf apparently:

Feyre's letter:

Hey hey, so you know the guy that notoriously

a) invades your mind and has the ability to change your thoughts and memories

b) drugged me, forced me to perform lap-dances for him for like three months in front of you

c) has a reputation for violence and being a general dickhead

WELL, I'm gonna go with him now :)

!!! Don't come after me or worry about my wellbeing or anything even though like a month ago I was willing to die for you !!!

P.S I'm literate now :)

Tamlin:

cool
