i still can’t believe the idea that the CoN as a front to “pROtEcT VELaRis” is an acceptable idea both in world and to the fandom at large. like. imagine you’re at the faerie equivalent of a UN meeting and you don’t trust one of the countries because they have a history of serious human rights violations. and the leaders of said country are like. “Yeah. We DO allow tons of human rights violations in our territory, but only in one area. we actually have a secret city where none of that happens, and the reason we encourage those human rights violations is so our evil reputation can PROTECT the good city” and your reaction is “oh word. You were actually the GOOD GUYS all along, sorry I wasn’t familiar with your game.” instead of like idk being horrified that some citizens are subjugated and treated as second class in order to benefit the others.
#this is definitely connected to SJM being a Zionist but I can’t quite articulate how yet#but we do understand why velaris in concept and in practice is horrible#the real reason they didn’t want to reveal to the CoN isn’t because they’d “ruin it”#but because all the “dreamers” left behind would be rightfully resentful#and velaris doesn’t even have to provide armies!!#they do! the Darkbringers are dying for a city they’re banned from because of their birth status!#being a good ruler means being good to ALL your people#carly’s anti rhysand manifesto#anti rhysand#anti inner circle#night court critical#velaris acotar#anti velaris#anti acotar
