Eris SHOULD be her mate. i will die on that hill.

and actually, i really hope that Nesta x Cas will be the one with broken bond (in one of next books). he don’t deserve her. no one in IC does. Nesta was miserable since the cauldron, and they just.. what? all the comments from Mor, Rhys (and i love him, but not for that), Amren, and even HER OWN MATE. she deserves better. my poor girl deserves happiness for once. and she won’t find it in the Night Court.

Feyre says that very few people like Nesta. Mor says that she's a wicked monster who would thrive in the CoN, and doesn't deserve the benefit of the doubt. Cassian says that everyone hates her.

Meanwhile, Nesta is out here making friends like nobody's business: Gwyn, Emerie, the Valkyries, Clotho (really it feels like Nesta's befriended all the priestesses except Merrill), Bryce, Ember, Randall.

And then, of course, there's Eris, who wants to marry her after only three dances.

The IC are really the only ones who can't see how amazing Nesta is.

The line 'queer people travel in packs' did not make sense to me until I arrived in the Marauders fandom. You can not tell me any of these gays are straight like??? hello?? can't you see that they're all babygirls who rock in rainbow??!!

me and the halftone effect have a very special relationship

[aidens-ocean-galaxy]

lowkey really hate when all you bitches (/lh) are like “we need more marauders era girls content!” and when someone posts marauders era girls content, it barely gets any attention

but when it’s content about the marauders era boys, it gets so much attention

what is this logic???

THISSS

My dad’s Puerto Rican and my mom is white.

If my mom dyed her light brown hair black and got a fake tan, it wouldn’t make her Puerto Rican. She’s still a white woman pretending.

An Illyrian’s wings are a physical trait.

Adopting a culture doesn’t mean physically changing your form to be one of them. It means adopting their customs, like dances, learning their language, dressing in their traditional clothing. NOT changing physically.

Let’s not forget that Valkyrie is a TITLE. It’s a career. The Valkyries were all sorts of Fae who hailed from all over Prythian.

Also, Emerie IS Illyrian. Winning the Blood Rite and claiming the title Carynthian was not cultural appropriation, it’s her culture to begin with. Gwyn was carried up the mountain by an Illyrian woman, rightfully earning the title.

And Nesta stayed back, earning the title Oristian so that her friends could climb that mountain. She had been taught the custom by her Illyrian Mate, and participated in an honorable way.

While it was a nice attempt to claim they’re racist or “appropriating cultures” you failed miserably.

Saying that Feyre becoming Illyrian isn’t appropriation because it’s a physical change, but that girls becoming Valkyries is because they’re not culturally tied to the original Valkyrie legion is an insane take

Another thing I’m excited about for the next book is the Valkyries defending Nesta.

The IC still treats Nesta horribly given how Amren dismisses her in HOFAS.

Nesta has done SO MUCH for them and it just feels unfair to me at this point.

Badass female squad who speak up for injustice?

Yes.

Lily and Regulus in a corner talking when they see James coming over: Regulus: Wanna make him think we’re conspiring against him? Lily: Fuck yeah. *James approaches* Lily: So you wanna do it? Regulus: Of course. At night right? Lily: Midnight sharp. Regulus: Should we use a scalpel or a dagger? James: what are you guys talking about? Lily and Regulus: Nothing. Regulus, in a silky voice: Not about you, James don’t worry. James: *Panicked all of a sudden*

Lily Evans was obsessed with Dolly Parton as a kid, and I’m saying this as someone who was obsessed with Dolly Parton as a kid

Marlene’s idea of flirting: stealing Dorcas's quill and asking her to "earn it back".
