Who was going to tell me plutonium expands when it freezes or what I supposed to just find that out in my thermo class?!?!?!?!

My personal Nesta/Moka ship would probably melt the fandom

"How are you shipping these characters if there's not even an indication of them being attracted to one another?"

The ACOTAR fandom would not survive crossover ships and fanfics, I fear. Y'all would go into a coma if I said Elain/Manon would be a delicious crossover ship. Azriel/Lehabah. Lucien/Yrene. Nesta/Hunt. Delicious. Fun. Try having fun.

Sorta a companion piece to Lake of fire

Basically…..Eris and Azriel perform a ritual which uses Eris as a kindle. Spilling his blood to summon a fire great enough to burn through Koschei and his lake. 👁️👁️

other tamlin scenes that i wish people thought abt more

[thebookishgaymer]

the calanmai ends in the cave, right?👁

I know I should do a writeup of chapter 4 of ACOTAR but I read Chapter 8 of ACOMAF instead.

Feyre. Why are you like this?

TAMLIN. Why are you like this? (The answer is, ofc, SJM assassinated your character, but I digress.)

The staff at his manor has to eat. The troops need to be paid; the lands need upkeep. That's what the tithe is for, right? I mean, that at least makes more sense than the lack of information we got other than "people give Tamlin stuff lol".

(Also, sorry - going back to a previous chapter, I get that Rhys was trying to be funny with his line-writing lessons but ew, dude. Not subtle.)

Anyway, ACOMAF may be the death of me.

Writing dirty limericks is one of Tamlin's 4 personality traits.

Writing a chapter that includes a dirty limerick contest. Even if I don't write a single sex scene in this fic, I'm pretty sure those poems be enough for the M/E-rating alone. That said, I'll put it to the world: who in this scene should have the filthiest limericks?

Romantasy Rant

idk how the antis have read these books, truly. The more things I see, the more I'm convinced they didn't read them at all 😭

Bc why I just see someone saying "'Elain would cling to Azriel for some peace and quiet' is clearly a negative connotation"

Like bruh?? Peace and quiet is bad now???

Elriel book is gonna be for the introverts. For the soft lovers. Not the swashbuckling, foul-mouthed girlbosses who think romance is a man who punches you in the face and then trains you with a sword 🙄

I'm tired of this grandpa 😭 I'm so over the oversaturation of the romantasy genre, how it's always just the same tropes in different fonts. I'm tired of some FMC who has every power under the sun and can read minds and also her mate is a shadow-wielding 6'6 tough guy who - did I mention - is also her sworn enemy.

And I KNOW there are people who feel differently. Good for them. Let them feast on the incredibly repetitive plots and mediocre romances. Let them come up with theories that at times, are honestly better than the actual book.

It's just not fun or new anymore. Idk 🤷🏻‍♀️

HEY ACOTAR FANDOM!!

If you wonder why artists are leaving this shit hole of a fandom stop complaining about their art on public posts!!

It's just a small request!

[thebookishgaymer]

Sjm created characters that do not completely fit into their stereotypes, so why is the fandom desperately making them fit in a stereotypes they do not belong in??????

[thebookishgaymer]

I'm sorry, but I'm still not over how hot Lucien was in those scenes where Feyre was using him to make Tamlin jealous. The situation is wrong, selfish, and sick on her part, but the sides of him it brought out?

The sides it finally allowed us to see?

Him lifting her off that horse with those big, strong hands?

Taking her hand and kneeling?

Catching fish with his bare hands and doing all the unpleasant work for Feyre (because my man's a capable, competent, considerate provider through and through)?

That "nightmare" scene where he's holding her and her nightgown's kind of riding up while he rubs her back and holds the back of her head? This is him with a platonic friend. 🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵

SJM really went off with him.

I have nothing but respect for SJM and her decision to make him scorchingly sexy from the start for no real reason. This woman really sat down, had no intention of making him her [current] main character's love interest, and said, "I'm going to have him making all of Prythian crave sin, make him one of if not the smartest character, and have him respectfully manhandle her on occasion to save her and lock this in. Let readers' imaginations run wild."

Then, she just decides to casually throw us another line about the fire in his blood.

"I couldn't imagine Elain being subject to all that...fire."

Bitch, I can. And good for her.

Why do the kids not know what a USB-C is? I'm a supply teacher and they will come up to me and say their chromebook is dead and look so confused when I ask them what charger they need. Behold an example:

Student: *Walks up to the desk and says nothing*

Me: Hi, how's if going? Do you have any questions?

Student: My chromebook's dead.

Me: Do you have a charger?

Student: *Shakes their head*

Me: Is there another chromebook in the bin you can use?

Student: I don't know.

Me: Go check.

Student: *Goes to check*

Me: *Checks the teacher's desk for an extra charger*

*There's a USB-C charger in the desk*

Student: *Comes back*

Me: What charger does your chromebook use?

Student: Huh? *confused face*

Me: What kind of charger do you need? Is it a USB-C charger or something else?

Student: It's the round one.

Me: *Resists the urge to tell them that narrows it down to pretty much every laptop charger in existence*

Me: *Pulls out the space USB-C charger* does it look like this?

Student: Yes.

Me: Okay so this is a USB-C charger. It's important to know what kind of charger you need in case you need to buy a replacement.

Student: *Walks off. I know they weren't listening.*

This is nothing to say about when I tried to get a class of 7th graders (12-13 years old) to open a new google doc in google drive. None of them could do it without help. I'm so genuinely concerned about the tech skills of the kids (I'm in my early 20s for reference).

Even if he needed to make a bargain to get around Amarantha's hold on his magic he could have made a bargain for literally anything else. A flower from Tamlin's garden, a favour, or anything else that isn't that serious.

tell me again why Rhysand had to force Feyre into a bargain to heal her when no one knew he was there but Lucien healed her out of the kindness in his heart and friendship

[thebookishgaymer]

She gets the threesome scene Nesta never got but it’s Tamlin and Lucien. And instead of Tamlin taking part he’s giving them a romantic song on his fiddle from the cuck chair in their room (every room ever has one). And instead of being inside they’re in the garden. And instead of sex it’s a picnic Lucien hunted and cooked for her. And instead of a regular picnic it’s their mating ceremony. And instead of a regular mating gift Tam makes Elain High Lady of Spring. And instead of High Lady being just a title given to her the cauldron chooses her. And instead of the cauldron choosing her they actually dismantled the High Lord system. And instead of only dismantling the High Lord system they also dismantled the patriarchal laws. And instead of only dismantling the High Lord system and patriarchal laws they also dismantled the High Fae / Lesser Faerie hierarchy.

New idea. Lucien finds out Helion is his dad, but instead of becoming an heir of Day he tells Helion to give that job to some of his other likely existing illegitimate children. Then he goes to Spring with Elain and builds her a garden (by which I mean he carries heavy stuff around for Elain while she bosses him around). End of story

[thebookishgaymer]

what if I said painting Feyre as a selfless kind angel who can do no wrong who is always in the right no matter what actually reduces her as a character and does her a disservice
