my mortal enemy that talentless charlatan sarah j maas does this thing that a lot of subpar writers do, where she doesn't write good and bad actions, she writes good and bad people. and it doesn't matter if one "good" character and one "bad" character do the same exact thing, or even if the good character does worse things, if the good character does it its a good action and if the bad character does it its a bad action. doesn't matter what the action actually is.

both the other characters and the narrative itself will condemn the things that the "bad" character does, proving that this is something that society in this world condemns, but those same exact characters, along with the narrative, will praise the "good" character for those exact same things. which is not only hypocritical, but also just shitty writing.

#yes of course im talking about acotar and rhys*nd 🤢🤮#it would be one thing if the narrative acknowledged how abusive rhysand is but the characters like his inner circle didn't #like they can't see rhysands flaws they just support him no matter what and rationalize away any wrong he does #but we as the audience are meant to understand that rhysand is just as bad as if not worse than tamlin #but sjm apparently just didn't notice that she wrote rhysand this way #i mean she also didn't apparently notice how she had rhysand literally SA feyre in book one so #anti sjm #i speak #but also joanne kathleen does this as well where making fun of fat people is ok if the good characters are doing it to the bad characters #but not ok if the bad characters are doing it to the good characters
