#no but they talk about it in crescent City

[fazcinatingblog]

Oh yeah, Tumblr, last night on the train home, I saw a man with "memento mori" tattooed on his arm... I couldn't work out the tattoo on his other arm, some kind of picture, it wasn't "through love, all is possible" or "light it up" or

The way the Crescent City males are unafraid to cry and to say I love you to each other. And how they constantly check in on each other and ask if they're ok like really ok. They are just the ultimate in non toxic masculinity. Just the most beautiful men inside and out

let it be noted that Ruhn survived the usual SJM haircut attacks and kept his long locks despite being tortured 🙌🏻

[gwyns]

i don't understand the hatred some people have for hunt... like hasn't he been through enough to prove to y'all he's not evil? are you forgetting he, alongside two of his best friends, were TORTURED? and he never ONCE broke? are you forgetting the hatred he had for himself to the point where he had to shut his brain off and become a zombie to be the umbra mortis? did you forget how he made bryce come alive again?

i've been saying it since the beginning and i'll continue to say it. this fandom doesn't deserve hunt athalar

I have NO friends that have read this series. NO ONE who has read all 15 books

All I want is people to scream with and make theories about this new cover

But alas…nobody, so I’ve come here 😭

WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK

[octobers-veryown]

Bryce and Hunt are mates. mates MATES.

Goodnight y'all.

i have such a visceral reaction to using "female" when referring to women in fiction that it actually draws me way out of the narrative when it's done. like. stop that.

last time i went to barnes and noble, all the other book girlies in the fantasy/scifi/YA sections were so so nice and helpful ♡ i need to go back ♡

[ipoddymouth]

u kno what......after like 7 months of deliberation i think i can finally truly and definitively say that cc3 > acotar 3.............sorry to feyre and co but they are not giving personality hijinks and character growth.......its been 589394757329 pages and elain still doesn't have any identifiable traits

Things I need from this fandom (aside from the obvious):

More people talking about the parallels between Quinlar and Elriel

Just. More Aidas overall. More fanart. More fic. Literally anything.

An exploration into the theology of CC - this idea of how “fate” shows itself in a modern world (as a goddess they forgot the name of??? Need to reread it) vs as “the cauldron” in ACOTAR world (which is a more mystical approach)

Similarly, the idea of mates across species. Choosing one vs having fate decide. Need more discussions about this. The implications. Especially between Bryce/Hunt (it’s so intriguing - there was no “snapped into place” clownery. They simply decided, and that was enough.)

More Lidia x Ruhn. I LOVE them. I was losing my damn mind the entire time, probably because I figured out her identity really early on.

The Little Mermaid of Tharion. I didn’t like Tharion until I had this epiphany around him, and now I’m really curious how his story will unfold…how him being tied to the Viper queen plays into the story (also the desperation of selling himself to someone like this to avoid being claimed by the River queen?? How bad is it down there exactly? To completely shun your own nature and crave land so badly you would sell yourself as a fighter to the Viper queen?!???????? Omg!!)

Character breakdown of Cormac and Sophie because oh my GODS.

JESIBA.

Just… the heartbreaking love and devotion of Ruhn towards Bryce, even when she openly hated him for so long. All of the subtle moments when any kindness from her took him by surprise. Their entire relationship is so bittersweet, I STG. I need people talking about it, posting quotes, like SOS.

Jesus, maybe I need to reread CC after TFOTA…

[fandomtrashgoeshere]

I have reached the ‘alpha holes’ spiel in crescent city and I feel like this is the author equivalent of tagging yourself in a meme before anyone else can because you just know someone is going to be like ‘this you?’ And Sarah is saying ‘ok, I have been known to write characters that perhaps vaguely match this description. But in my defence… it’s hot.’

[acourtofquestions]

Okay, I love my boys (and the scene of them sticking out their tongues and laughing in the midst of dungeons was rather heartbreaking/warming/hilarious) but my gods (this feels like how Harry Potter would’ve ended at book 1 without Hermione🤦‍♀️😅😭) because I’m sorry: HOW DID CHEWING OFF HIS ARM… SEEM LIKE THE EASY “RIGHT” DECISION???

[morswhore]

no offense but crescent city world building is not difficult to understand and im genuinely worried for some of these people saying it is

[i-would-rather-be-a-fairy]

And if I said that Hunt and Shahar were the text book definition of You were a wonderful experience x You were everything with Hunt being the one saying “You were everything”? If I speak on that? What then?

[harperbrynne]

CC1 Reread:

“Every wall was bedecked in posters of legendary performances at the Crescent City Ballet. Once, she’d imagined herself up there among the lithe Vanir, exploding across the stage in turn after turn, or making audiences weep with an agonizing death scene.” (Pg35)

1. Bryce will love Velaris if she has time to enjoy the sights

2. I forgot Bryce and Nesta have dance in common

[twistedmelodies]

Do I have any friends on here who have read the Crescent City series and ACOTAR? I'm on the first Crescent City book and I'm obsessed! I have had mixed advice. Some people tell me to go read ACOTAR before reading the 2nd CC novel and others say it doesn't matter. I need more input please!! I want to get the most out of these books.
