This is what I’ve been saying sjm will never let Tamlin off the hook. Dorian is a good example and so is Chaol in that regard. All here characters these three are well written but people don’t see it when the faves are the MCs.

I also love this art of Tamlin 😍😍.

[theegemini92]

If you ever have an argument over double standards and an answer given is YOU ARE NOT A GIRLS GIRL… then I know how low your iq is. This girl didn’t reply to my comment when I said feyre also punched Tamlin too. Yet she had energy to argue 🤣

[theegemini92]

You know when you think about it the IC are really fucking useless, Rhysand was gone for 50yrs & in 50yrs it never once crossed the inner circles mind to upgrade the city.

What do you mean that after 50yrs there’s still poverty & slums?? Buildings that are still having to be condemned & knocked down & then rebuilt?? What do you mean there’s still seedy taverns with seedy people, instead of upgraded ones like Rita’s?? What do you mean it’s a city of dreams & yet its inhabitants are still living a nightmare??

Why is Amren second in command if she can’t upkeep the city & make progressive changes??

Why does Morrigan get to call herself a queen yet she has nothing to her name?? Everything she has comes from Rhysand. She has no experience actually ruling let alone making changes, no real job, no money of her own, no lands, nothing.

It’s also not like it was impossible to get materials & equipment because somehow Velaris was still receiving trade/imports, why weren’t they making sure the city was new & shiny??

I don’t even like Rhysand but after 50yrs (49yrs really) I would be kinda pissed off that I’ve come out to the same shit. Like in one sense I can imagine the familiarity would be nice & what he needed initially but after all that if I was Rhysand I’d be pretty pissed off.

Velaris is a city stuck in time. Never evolving. Never changing unless forced to.

It’s a pretty gilded cage.

Maeve could tamper with the mating bond so well .. that Rowan ended up punching his mate. Ended up believing he was mated to another Female.

Hmm...

What if?

Eris is mated to Nesta? But Rhys tampered with Cassian and Nesta and made this Messian?

[theegemini92]

If you follow me on here you know I don’t cancel out peoples user names. I belive that once someone post on the internet for everyone to see it goes everywhere. But with this one I had to because I just want to address my main issue

Now I have been seeing post like this a lot not just ACOTAR but other MMC.

Women please protect your heart and mind and don’t let them both be obscured by the IDEAL FANTASY MAN of ANOTHER WOMAN.

One man’s meat is another man’s poison.

Let me break this down a bit: I would love a FAE MALE too. Preferably Tamlin/fenrys type. Why, they got claws and teeth 🤤 and if he’s a rich lord bonus… has magic powersssssss 😱

These are very unrealistic things… THEY DONT EXIST! I don’t read to find how they treat women because that can never ever be real. Some parts perhaps but No man will randomly kill another man for you in real life and call it love. He’d go to jail 🤣

STOP PROJECTING REAL MEN WITH REAL ISSUES ON BADLY WRITTEN FICTIONAL CHARACTERS.

This post only tells me that instead of working out her real issues and SEEING her husband and Herself, she’s busy comparing other peoples relationships to hers and these things sometimes cut accross even in friendships

You made a choice to marry a man who isn’t emotionally compatible with you perhaps thinking he’d change only for him not to.

Stop bringing your marriages and comparing them to non existent people.

To Bloom into a Rhysand???? wtf does that even mean???? 🤣🤣🤣 will he sprout wings and fuck you and impregnate you and put you at risk? You better pray you have a sister with cauldron powers 🤣🤣🤣 or wait will he sacrifice the Illyrian women for more soilders and CHILD SOLDIERS? Noooo I got it he’s going to try hard to not be like your ex bf who is a Tamlin cus that’s his identity now. No dialogue or emotional connection just trauma dumping and telling him who hurt you and the. just fucking your brains out cus that’s about as far as Rapesand and ferret go in their relationship. There is nothing. They don’t even have anything in common.

How can you now understand Tamlin when you want a BLOOMING RHYSAND? 🤣🤣🤣

You see why I have been saying these MMCs are the main characters and not the so called empowered females? Rage baiting us into thinking we as women have the upper hand when we don’t?

Please ladies let’s stop comparing and face our realities.

[theegemini92]

Males and their consequences within the patriarchy of ACOTAR.

I’d keep saying this, this book is not for women 🤣 it’s not for feminists and female empowerment.

In our real world if a man doesn’t know you and you are being beaten on the street he’d walk right past and even take out his phone to record. Just like Rhys would’ve done if ferret was not his mate.

Even as a reader I understood and was not oblivious to the order of prythian. She still Thinks Cassian and Az are her friends. No bitch, they are henchmen and loyal to the one that put the tatttos on them to mark them as his property and put them into service. The only reason he’s made them family is cus he HAS NO FAMILY LEFT.

Ferrets delusion never ceases to amaze me. Raw power is what is revered in prythian not title or whom you fuck.(that has its perks but still? 🤭🤭)

[theegemini92]

in my opinion, feyre making fun of lucien and the band of exiles is meaner than anything nesta has ever done

[theegemini92]

Oh my God MY SHAYLA 😭😭😭😭 MY SHAYLA

[theegemini92]

I’m repeating myself again… don’t say you fuvk with Tamlin and don’t fully see or understand him. I have never seen a post where someone would call Rhys a narcissist when he is the perfect example of it.

Narcissism involves self-centered, arrogant thinking and behavior, and a lack of empathy.

This is the definition of Rhysand lint butroller

People’s view of Tamlin is Formed from feyre POV especially when he has people to look after, an army at his border, less equipped people to fight. I have seen a mother of triplets before now imagine 100s and thousands of people relying on you right after a deadly curse.

I’d like to know where Tamlin criticized anyone. He never expresses disapproval of another aka feyre. blamed her, correct her, nitpick, or fix her. As we all recall he didn’t pay close attention to her enough to even do that. Is that not the whole point?

Exploitation? You mean the tithing? Or the part that he gave enough to the archerons to be able to afford three war ships? How do you exploit someone socially when she closes herself off or when the king of hybern wants her? Emotionally yes I can admit that but it went both ways when the other didn’t open up?

What friends did Feyre have to isolate her from? She didn’t express her willingness to visit her family either.

Support networks by the abuser? Boundary violation? Did Feyre set any? Remember when she came back from NC tried to get Lucien by flirting and never once did Tamlin even initiate anything with her…

Blame shifting? Are you fuvking kidding me? So this male had no right to blame Rhysand for his illirate gf leaving? Knowing he has mind controlling powers and hates him?

I’d be in an emotional roller coaster if I have children to look after with no support and a country to run.

I can admit Tamlin has his faults. I will never say he’s innocent. But when you haven’t gotten his side of the story this conclusion will never ever be accurate. Until tam which I know sjm will make him look bad, admit his faults he will never be a narcissist or lack empathy. Because where is the empathy for Tamlin? Why does no one care for his feelings? Why is he suppose to bend and break for others? If he lacked empathy he won’t have gotten blood on his hands for Lucien, taken refugees in. Give alis and her nephews a place in his home.

I can admit that Tamlin is the person that has followed the rules and yet came up short and doesn’t understand why. He is the typical look of the hero, fair upright, just, RULE FOLLOWER and Rhys is the dark bad one. So it goes to show that because Rhys is “bad” everyone is expects his mediocrity while Tamlin is STILL being punished for not holding up the mantle when he after all is still flesh and bone. So as readers, even those who claim to see him are still condemning him.

I can partially agree to this where life isn’t always order and can be chaotic However the world is still full of order and laws. Especially as a leader. There are structures in prythian just because we see the NC look easy going doesn’t mean all the other courts don’t abide by rules. Then the lady of autumn has wasted her life since it was so easy for Feyre. Again Tamlin is the “hero” trope but giving what Spring was going through at that time was not picture perfect.. like what are you saying? 🤣 velaris was untouched had no army knocking at the door how was that perfect?

What about him?

Again how would he when his people needed him when Hubert was there, you don’t even know what he was doing when the twins were over. WE DONT KNOW EVERYTHING…

So why is this even a point if she was also doing it to him?

I will end by saying to me Tamlin did his best. He is no innocent but that is only for his perspective until then he is innocent and I stand by that. If Rapesand girlies can stand 10 toes for a narc like him I will for Tamlin. To me he did what many of us would’ve done in his situation or worse. He and feyre are a typical example of double standards in a relationship. Where she ain’t even held accountable for her actions towards him.

If my country is burning I don’t expect my president to be cuddling his depressed traumatic wife. I know that will sound harsh to people but he is in power for my needs not his and that’s a fact.

After all Rhysand can cause the genocide of the winter court and feyre can commit war crimes to the sc but godforbid Tamlin locks her indoors. He’s labeled a freaking narcissist 🤦🏾‍♀️

He needs no redemption just a family a home warm and filled with love. He deserves that.

[theegemini92]

My heart can’t take this 😭🧎🏾‍♀️‍➡️

Young Tamlin, quietly wiping tears off his cheeks and picking up a broken fiddle after his brothers found him practicing, determined to learn his mother's favorite song as he promised for her birthday...

...Adult Tamlin years later in the same spot, the day of his mother's death, reaching for the fiddle and messily playing the same tune with bloody hands, in an attempt to feel her comforting embrace one last time.

[theegemini92]

This is EXACTLY what i imagined Rhysand to look like and behave 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

This is not a ball this is progressive velaris 🤣 they are so different and modern and civilized.. they don’t mingle with us peasants who tithe and listen to mistrals and fiddles.. naaah f us 🤣🤣🤣

For all the pro RHYSANDS out there come get your manssss 🤣🤣🤣 embarrassing

Tamlin would nevaaaa

Eris would nevaaaaaa

Lucien would nevaaaaa

Tarquin would nevaaaaaa

Hell even Beron 🤣🤣🤣

For all the SC girlies At calanamai we don’t apologize and we do it right 😜

And this is how much they pay?? 🤣🤣 no wonder ferret can afford a 5th mansion

[theegemini92]

Tamlin did everything he did because all he wanted was to protect feyre and make sure she lived.

and rhy/sand wouldn’t even tell her that her own baby would kill her.

[theegemini92]

Ferret ruined the spring court and no one in the fandom butts an eye. her hubby causes genocide and that just goes over their heads 🤣He taught her well that’s for sure…

Kallias and Viviane let Rhysand off the hook a little too easy about the Winter Court children. They're just supposed to believe it was another Daemati when Rhysand was tormenting them all UtM and Rhysand couldn't even provide the name of this other Daemati? All this evidence against him and they just believe his word? just like that?

[theegemini92]

Thanks to sjm now 85% of romantsy stories have shadow daddies 🤣🤣 like can’t we be original for a bit?

[theegemini92]

The whole children of blood and bone debate is sending me. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I am not Nigerian but i understand where some things are coming from and where others aren’t. Majority of the people complaining are not book readers. They hear their people and culture and think it should be accurate.

Majority is of the complaints are the jollof and okra and How can a book based on Nigeria have snow in it? Like my fellow Nigerians are not serious at all. A book that has MAGIC in it?

People are worried about the cast having the all in one African Accent that many of us hate I can understand but the same way these actors can learn Australian accents and British ones they can take a month to learn naija accent it’s their job as ACTORS.

Someone said she chose to use Yuroba names so it should be based exactly on. And so what? I’ve seen zainabs and ayisha in books that have Micheal’s and Mary’s so what?

I have to listen to audiobooks to learn how to mention names like FEYRE . It’s time other people learn other cultures and to pronounce other culture names. It give people a leg up in education.

This is why I say I read for plot and a good story not the characters. I don’t see myself in them I read like a spectator observing. Many times I skip smut scenes and others just so I know the suspense and mystery. Many times there are great books with exceptional story lines but a character annoys a reader and it’s over 🤣

I never truly cared for this book honestly it was a painful read on the plot. . However…..

It’s a fantasy book… 🤦🏾‍♀️

[theegemini92]

I’m more on booktok a lot and with the release of onyx storm everyone is crying about fan casting due to the tv show coming up. I must say it is so interesting to watch my goodness… 🤣🤣🤣🤣 again I’m still on iron flame and the book series is still OK to me.

But my main issue is this whole fan casting. I won’t go into the race debate of Xaden, he’s already been casted but the girlies dont like it. He’s not tall enough.

My issue is how FANART and AI have distorted your image of what someone should look like has affected everyone.

BUT what even opens my eyes is casting a FMC is not as a hassle as a MMC… a nod to my previous post… these books written by women for women ABOUT WOMEN are really ABOUT THE MEN/MALES.

Look at this Rapesand photo

Because of this picture…. NO ONE is good enough to play him. This is the picture they see when they think of him.

It’s really sad so let’s face it, they’d books are about men and some of you should stop lying to yourselves at this point.

[theegemini92]

I knew I had seen that OP before….

She posted this

Then literally proceeds to act confused 😹😹😹😹

This is why Tamlin being powerful shocks people like her.

Lack of critical thinking. Author said so I as the reader should accept.

It’s like with RHYSAND there’s no critiquing or logic. Just like everyone thinking feyre is so powerful when she just has small specs of power that won’t be as big as a normal hl. Everything is still debatable.

This such a disgusting way of thinking

If you agree, please examine why and try to think about how you fell into a trap that’s historically been used to justify the mistreatment of other ethnic groups

How do you call people “a wild ethnic group” and “primitive” and not see how that’s an issue???

To see people say this and argue that she’s not using the “savage dark-skinned poc” because the bat boys are also Illyrian is ridiculously lazy and stupid. The three bat boys constantly emphasize how different they are of the Illyrians and disapproving of their ways, they are meant to be the OUTLIERS.

If you want to say it’s just fiction or poorly written, than you’re going to have to let people critique it for what it is??? Poorly written???

You can’t use the text point blank saying that they’re primitive and then get mad at someone calling the text an issue 😭

ACOTAR fan try to not kiss Sarah’s ass and acknowledge when you might be wrong challenge: failed

ALSO CHAT GPT IS NOTORIOUS FOR MAKING YO ITS OWN FACTS TO JUST PLEASE WHATEVER IT ASSUMES THE PROMPT WANTS
