#idk why people think if i had beef with rhys and cassian i wouldnt have it with tamlin too

[separatist-apologist]

Excuse me Feyre was the one who died under the mountain???? Please please elaborate!

It's a response to the "Feyre should have just COMMUNICATED- no one can read her mind, how should Tamlin have known she was traumatized" and "Tamlin was traumatized too, so his actions make sense."

Like okay. But Feyre DIED. Like SHE was the one who D I E D. She was tortured, her neck was snapped, and she was dead. And no amount of watching it compares, and frankly, I find it a dry, boring take but you know, the fandom will bend over backwards to empathize and excuse the actions of an old ass man while finding a million ways to hold a 19 year old woman accountable for not being perfect in her healing or holding his hand as she tried to navigate her own death.

And people like to send me little bait-y messages like, "but don't you think Rhys was worse? Don't you think Feyre had a responsibility to explain minutely to the very tiniest detail how she was hurt so Tamlin could make her feel better?" "His actions were sensible, he was just scared and he was traumatized from Rhys/UTM too."

Feyre died. Her pain, her trauma ought to trump everyone else's but it doesn't and she's held extra accountable for how everyone else reponds and for not managing their feelings/reactions when anyone with eyeballs could see she was doing very badly. Lucien and Rhys both recognize it, Lucien and Rhys both try and intervene, which always gets overlooked in the rush to blame Feyre for not being proactive enough.
