#i have seen toxic cass fans before don't get me wrong

[drbatsponge]

Cassandra Cain is an interesting character in that so many people have different wants from her but I'm actually able to engage with her fanbase in a friendly manner most of the time even if I like shit that other Cass fans don't happen to like.

I have never met a Cass fan that has been directly hostile to me I guess lmfao.

Probably lucky? Idk, I say controversial opinions about her all the time and haven't gotten shot yet so I guess her fandom is mostly chill. 💀

What are your thoughts on the weird Cassian and Mor relationship?

There's the obvious of, it's toxic as fuck. There's also the hypocrisy of it, since Mor's issue with Nesta seems to be that her behaviour hurts Feyre, even though Nesta's actions stem from a desire to self harm, while she has admitted that she does it to hurt Azriel. Whether Azriel acknowledges/accepts the rejection, or continues to pursue her despite it, remains to be seen, given that we don't really have his pov, aside from that one bonus chapter.

Mor also uses him protection, only when it suits her. She happily turned to him for help when Rhysand went behind her back to make a deal with Eris, not telling her that he'd be at the meeting. However, when Az tried to protect her from him during the HL meeting, she slept with Hellion to hurt him.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not a huge fan of Azriel, though that mostly has to do with his treatment of Nesta. However, Mor, who is supposed to be his family, and happily uses him for her protection and comfort when she sees fit, only to use his own brother to snub him regularly, even after that brother finds someone he wants to pursue himself.

She then goes to that person and acts like they're the devil incarnate for having the audacity to breath, despite her so called best friend (Feyre) telling them all to stay out of it.

As for Cassian, I don't personally think he minds the arrangement. His biggest insecurity is his status as a bastard born orphan. Yet, now, he has the sole attention of Mor, a beautiful women of high social status who's related to the highest level of authority in the NC. Not only that, but it was her line that once ruled, before it transferred to Rhysand's bloodline. Mor constantly chooses him over his brother. I believe it's in his bonus chapter, Wings and Ember, that he admits that his jealousy of Azriel, and whatever bond he and Mor seemed to form at the time, was a factor in why he chose to sleep with her.

It's mutually toxic, but only benefits Mor and Cassian. Azriel doesn't have much of a say in it, yet he's the one hurt by it. Until one of them (Mor or Cass) wake up and knock some sense into the other, it won't end.
