acowar countdown challenge ≡ april 16 - april 22 [favorite otp] I did not mind stepping out of the shadows, did not mind even being in the shadows to begin with, so long as he was with me. My friend through so many dangers—who had fought for me when no one else would, even myself. “Of course I’ll dance with you,” Rhys said, his voice still raw. “All night, if you wish.” “Even if I step on your toes?” “Even then.” He leaned in, brushing his mouth against my heated cheek. I closed my eyes at the whisper of a kiss, at the hunger that ravaged me in its wake, that might ravage Prythian. And all around us, as if the world itself were indeed falling apart, stars rained down.

K so for March 26th through April 1st: Who is my favorite male character ? Such a mean question !!! Everyone love's Rhys with this fiery raging passion from the deepest pits of hell, and so do I. He is literally EVERYTHING a female ( or male for that matter ) could dream of in a relationship. He would sacrifice anything for her without a seconds hesitation, he is wily and sarcastic and funny, he is caring and protective, but not so protective that he doesn't let her fight her own battles. GAH!!! BUT!!! I have always had this secret side interest in Azriel... I like the dark and mysterious brooding type along with the dark and sarcastic bad guy type XD Azriel is just so sweet when it comes to how he treats the people he loves, yet he is dangerous as fuck when it comes to what he would DO for the people he loves. And Cassian? God. Just. Please, I wish I had dated a guy with his personality in high school because I KNOW that if it somehow didn't work out, he would be that one in a million I could still call when in need and would be one of my closest friends. I guess if it came down to it though... AS IM SURE EVERYONE ELSE WILL SAY AS WELL! ( XD ) Rhys. I loved him as soon as he stepped into the scene two thirds of the way through ACOTAR. As soon as he was put into my mind from the words on those pages, my heart jumped up a few inches into my throat. I knew he was going to be better than Tam. Thanks for the fun challenge !

Countdown Challenge - ACOWAR [4/8]

april 9 - april 15: favorite antagonist

High Lady Amarantha, Hybern

If you can, tell me in the comments or tags which is your favorite header.

The last one was self-indulgence. Forewarning: below includes me fangirling about Amarantha because she would be one of my favourite characters under different circumstances. Possible abuse tw.

Because I don’t know how to express my lowkey need for her AU where she isn’t under Hybern’s thumb and can live with Tamlin. Like seriously. Everything - everything - is Hybern’s fault.

Note: I just find potential in her to be a decent character if she was born in the Courts or smth, and not in Hybern. That’s it. I am in no way condoning her actions.

Also note: This is by no means book-factually correct. I’m relying on the wiki because I lent my book to my senior. Question - did Hybern conquer Prythain before or after the war? Bc I’m taking after.

Here are some headcanons

Amarantha was the King of Hybern’s daughter. As you probably know, the King is abusive and shitty af, in the way that he doesn’t care about her at all. As long as she didn’t interrupt his court or poke her head in his business, she could kill herself and the King would still be glad.

Her mother was a lesser Fae the King courted when he was younger. Little is known about her except she is not alive anymore.

She loved her sister. Her sister did not deserve the life like the Fae from Hybern. Her sister dallied with the human slaves.

She was so, so cunning then, and her power rivalled any other Fae, save for the King. Her mind control was quick and sharp. She used it to get snacks from the kitchen and humour her sister, but more often that not, she heard whispers and saw glimpses of what her father’s court was like.

And it poisoned her.

If something didn’t go your way, force it to happen.

If someone pisses you, kill him.

If you don’t get what you want, throw a fucking tantrum.

Kids learn how to read and speak. Amarantha learned how to court and wield dark magic. She learnt how to burn her enemies until the only thing left were their bones, and build a throne of crown out of them.

But Clythia was innocent. She loved her, the way Clythia could make her smile when the overuse of magic gave her headaches and blurred her eyesight. She loved Clythia because she was strong and stubborn and she believed that the world could be better, even if Amarantha didn’t.

She loved her because Clythia was the only family left.

Then the war came. The King noticed Amarantha’s power, and she rose to become his greatest general. She was on the ‘kill all humans’ side, but Clythia loved a mortal.

To please her father, or to save her sister?

Amarantha spared the couple. She spared them, as long as she could. But then Jurian killed her.

Jurian killed her. And when the war concluded, she went into a blind rage and butchered him.

She went into a blind rage and conquered Prythain, because how dare they live and be so happy when Clythia was dead.

[Somewhen in between the Rhysand-Tamlin butchering occurred.]

She saw Tamlin before. She doesn’t remember when. Her life before Clythia’s death was blurry and unreachable.

But she saw him, and she decided I want him.

So she was getting him. But Tamlin angered her, and in a fit, she tore out Lucien’s eye. But she needed Tamlin, so a masquerade ball it was, because ‘maybe if he doesn’t see me, he might like me better’.

Tamlin rejected. She screamed, cursing the Court to wear the mask for eternity.

But by the Cauldron. Tamlin had to be hers. She offered to lift the curse, but he rejected by saying Clythia had preferred a mortal to her, and he felt the same because she was a monster.

So what? She was a monster, and she was going to show him how much.

She created the Blight.

She, with that twisted but oh, so sharp mind rivalling a daemati’s of her, tricked the other six High Lord to give her their magic. She was now their dark Queen.

But was she happy?

Rumours started going around saying that Tamlin had a human lover. And no, no, no, no one could be with Tamlin. She had made sure of that, with his stone heart.

She tried to kill that girl, without angering Tamlin. She put Tamlin in a trance, forever standing beside her, forever staring helplessly passive.

She gave the girl a riddle. The answer was impossibly elusive because only she knew what it felt like.

Love. Cruel, twisted, love.

But the girl won still. How, how, how? She snapped her neck, tried to snap every single bone in  her body. But the girl whispered, love.

And the spell broke.

And Tamlin killed her, in the same fit of rage she used to destroy everything.

But with the last wisp of her magic, she swore that she would forever haunt Tamlin.

acowar countdown challenge week 5 | favorite otp: Feyre x Rhysand

“You might be my mate, but you remain your own person. You decide your fate— your choices. Not me. You chose yesterday. You choose every day. Forever.”

acowar countdown challenge | favorite scene from acotar: Ch. 20/21 Feysand First Meeting

Everything about the stranger radiated sensual grace and ease. High Fae, no doubt. His short black hair gleamed like a raven’s feathers, off-setting his pale skin and blue eyes so deep they were violet, even in the firelight. They twinkled with amusement as he beheld me.

For a moment, we said nothing. Thank you didn’t seem to cover what he’d done for me, but something about the way he stood with absolute stillness, the night seeming to press in closer around him, made me hesitate to speak- made me want to run in the other direction.

acowar countdown challenge week 5 | favorite otp: Nesta x Cassian

Cassian’s breathing turned jagged as her eyes flicked to his mouth, as her body came flush with his… He didn’t care. Didn’t give a shit as she rose up on her toes, her mouth nearing his-

Pain exploded between his legs, knocking the breath from his chest as that gods-damned knee of hers indeed found its mark.

Cassian staggered back, swearing viciously. She snorted, looking down at him as he fell on his ass into an armchair, clutching his stomach, trying to reorder his brain-

“You’re all the same,” She said, imperious as the night and cold as the dawn. “Perhaps being an immortal makes you predictable.”

“You,” he gasped out.

A low laugh broke from those lips, which he’d been fully prepared to taste, to devour-

acowar countdown challenge | favourite otp | n e s s i a n

She didn’t know what to do with it, that r a g e. It still burned and hunted her, still made her want to rip and roar and rend the world into pieces. She felt it all—too keenly, too sharply.

Hated and cared and loved and dreaded, more than other people, she sometimes thought. Could sift between them all in a matter of moments, like she was trying on different sets of clothes, and no one could tell or care.

Except h i m.

H e could see it, feel it.
