#rhysand is a tyrant and has slave warriors

[nestaians]

people of night court deserve a revolution

they deserve to overthrow their useless leader and his council

night court is the poorest court by a mile

there are only 3 places to live in nc and all are terrible. hewn city and illyria is surviving on thin pieces of threads and city of starlight is suffering too

mind u, nesta was living in bad conditions

velaris is better than rest for sure but not by much when u really think about it

none of the citizens of night court are free or can roam around the court as they please. in fact they are trapped in those places they live in

their own high lord and members of his council hate their own citizens

their high lord, who is meant to look after his people doesn’t do it nor cares to

their high lord lets them get tormented and murdered by amarantha for 50 years and once he returns he does nothing, no asking of how many died and offers no apologies for his lack of protection. there is no acknowledgment

their high lord doesn’t inspire his people but rather uses his powers and authority to make them fear him

their high lord doesn’t unite his people and make them stronger as a whole but rather takes a part in keeping them separate and discriminate against each other

their high lord made his mate his high lady and has 2 more women in his court but does not lift a finger to do anything for the women of his court that are suffering under patriarchy

their high lord uses them as fodders in his wars and gives them nothing in return

their high lord offers no education or better living conditions

their high lady, a woman who once died for people of prythian, tells them “they have everything they need” when the women of the court have nothing, no autonomy, no choice, no childhood, no dreams. only suffering

their high lady, a woman who once lived in poverty does not help her people who live in the same situation. she rather build another mansion and throw another lavish party

their third in command, a woman who too suffered under patriarchy and broke free from it and her marriage she did not want- does nothing. she looks down on her own people and thinks all are the same

their general, a bastard who grew up in terrible place and lost his mother does not do anything, he does not sympathise with his own people’s suffering. he does nothing to help women like his mother

can go on and on, the list is long

i wonder how do night court defectors feel? do they mourn for their people, for their court? for what it could have been if their high lord was kinder and used his power and authority for good?

how do they feel when they see how other high lords rule and work for their people and realise the endless failures of theirs?

high lord of spring, a leader who grew up in army and understands the hard work of his soldiers, worked opened his courts to everyone, invited them to celebrate festivals, does not enforce ranks, does not discriminate and works to make his court better for all

high lord of summer, a young leader but not weak, opened his court to refugees made by high lady of night court, does not discriminate and works to make his court better for all

high lord of winter, left his court in hands of viviane, who for 50 years worked hard to not only protect the court and the people but also get their high lord back

high lord of dawn, who treats the winged race of his court equally and mourned for them when they were killed by amarantha

is it too far fetched to say rhysand and ic are president snow, velaris is the capitol and the people of night court are the districts of the hunger games?

these so called “court of dreamers” are their people’s nightmare
