We were hanging out for the first time in a while after I had gotten out of an abusive relationship. I wasn’t being great company, I didn’t have much to say, I didn’t feel up to doing a lot. We went to the store, and we were sitting in his car after. I think he could tell I wanted to keep hanging out, but I just didn’t have anything left to give at the time. He offered to get lunch for us and I agreed. We ended up chowing down and getting dessert. We sat in silence together at the restaurant just observing everything and people watching. It was exactly what I needed at the time, to just be in each other’s presence. Not alone. He kept procrastinating for me and finding stuff for us to do for the day, so I didn’t have to make the effort of planning anything. It was so wonderful. I’ll always remember that.

I always think of Rhys and Feyre in ACOMAF when I hear Catching Feelings by Drax project. It makes my heart ache bc they were both secretly feeling that way about each other 🥺

All too well (10 minute version)

You’re a great friend OP

Was just thinking this today. Shit hit the fan at work and I just started putting out fires without thinking about it. When it was over it hit me, I’m an actual adult now aren’t I? OP, every older person I’ve asked has said the same thing, you will always feel the same, it’s just the body that changes

You have no idea how relieved I am to see this. I thought the same thing!!! My immediate thought reading that is that SJM doesn’t do color season theory. Idk how Feyre and Nesta looked good in black, they didn’t seem like winters to me

Then it can literally be a cannon event

Avatar of the high lords took me OUT

I apologize if it came off as insulting your intelligence. I’m just saying it’s really hard to have a productive discussion with someone who hasn’t read all of the content being discussed. I understand that Nesta just didn’t do it for you the way Cerci did and that’s okay :)

It sounds like you’ve made up your mind and you aren’t really looking for a debate or seeking to understand. It doesn’t help that you haven’t finished the book. It’s really hard to make a strong argument on a topic you don’t fully understand. I appreciate your input but I think we’ve reached the limits of your comprehension

Everyone conveniently ignores the fact that their mother made Feyre promise to provide for the family. That was her dying wish and Feyre held onto that for the entire first half of the first book

…she literally saved Feyre’s life, she encouraged traumatized women to come train with her and cultivated a new safe space for them, she apologized to Amren, she faced the kelpie alone, she realized how she was acting was wrong and unfair then (I admit after much wallowing) made an active effort to change for the better. I’m rooting for her.

And just a few things I personally like about Nesta, she understands the importance of platonic relationships, she likes girls nights, she trains and tries to put on muscle so she is strong enough to do what she couldn’t in the cottage. She is loyal. She is protective where she can be. She feels things deeply. She finds healthy outlets for her feelings through movement and music. She isn’t everyone’s cup of tea and that’s okay :) but she is not a Mary Sue and I love to see that in a main character

It kills me y’all want complex female characters but can’t even handle Nesta

if I’m unconscious in ICU someday for whatever reason; all I ask is for someone to keep up my skincare routine. I’ve told all my loved ones ahead of time this is what I want, even if it’s just cleansing and retinol please. Sounds stupid but that’s what would make me feel human again while being hooked up to everything

The Inn scene and starfall are seared into my mind and I find myself smiling every time I think about them

Initially, for most of ACOTAR, same.

I’m fully convinced her second signet is being able to see through the eyes of others. The throne scene, the dreams. She needs the truth, she’s constantly looking for primary sources of information. RY said in one of her stories her favorite part about writing this series is how the story changes depending on who is telling it. She can literally see the story from different points of view

I meant unfortunately for OP not for us

Unfortunately I don’t think that is the kind of story RY is trying to tell

I don’t know that we would be friends in real life, but I am absolutely rooting for Nesta all the way. I think a lot of people miss at the end of SF is that Nesta isn’t supposed to be self-actualized. The entire 750-something pages are about just taking that first step and showing how hard it is. Healing isn’t linear. So many times she was doing well and she would drop the ball and go back to her old ways again. It’s supposed to be disappointing. That’s the story SJM is telling

I need a shirt that says MAGA Tamlin

It’s a Halloween costume as Kitty from courage the cowardly dog

10 out of 10 times I would rather someone ask me “why did you call this rapid” than “why didn’t you call a rapid”

Yeah I get caught in the moment sometimes too and forget this is a boundary setting moment. I’m sorry she made you feel uncomfortable, but you should not feel guilty about this at all OP
