Just thinking about The Hunger Games again
The real or not real scenes in The Hunger Games are so important! President Snow manipulated Katniss into revealing her true affections towards Peeta by asking her to convince him that they were in love, which she ultimately did, which lead to Peeta’s capture as a punishment for Katniss. The thing is, though, Katniss didn’t fall in love with Peeta in the spotlight in their rehearsed moments while she was trying to convince Snow, she fell in love with him in the tiny moments, sleeping with him on the roof before the Quell, sharing their favorite colors on the train, eating the cheese buns he’d bake for her and her family. These were tiny moments that weren’t recorded, and therefore weren’t able to be manipulated when Peeta was high jacked. These are the moments that bring Peeta back to Katniss with real or not real. Snow wanted to use Peeta as a prop to destroy Katniss once Katniss convinced Snow of her love, but in the end the moments that made her fall in love are the moments that saved him from that destruction.

This fic was so good! Can’t wait to read the rest of it
It Would've Been So Right
Tumblr media
Connor and Bryce have been dancing around each other for five years, and Bryce is finally about to give him a chance. How might this relationship have played out if the wolves had made it out of the apartment? If there were no evil plot and Bryce had been able to live out the life she had been building with her friends? The pack who claimed her.
Finally preparing to post this story to tumblr! For those who haven't been reading it on AO3, you should know that it started out as a few possible scenes, and I just let myself run away with it. So, you know, minimal planning and all that.

Note: The majority was written before HoSaB came out, so does not take into consideration things we learned in that book. In the last chapters I may have added some pieces, but I also chose to ignore others because they would've meant I'd have to completely adjust the story I'd already written. Or because I disagree or found them conflicting with the first book, and used solely for the narrative SJM wanted to tell in book 2 without consideration for what she'd already shared in book 1. (If you really wanna know, find my rants on this whole Ithan having liked Bryce thing here. 😒)

I agree with this so much!
He is right to be angry with her, and with Aelin (though Aelin isn’t around to receive his anger). Aedion had begged Aelin time and time again to fill him in on her plans. And I would argue that Lysandra and Aelin did owe him a description of their plans, especially when that plan assumed Aedion would spawn a child with Lysandra but not care for it in any way, assumed he would be willing to do this without actually asking his consent. Their plan required him to make a sacrifice, and they should have asked his consent. (I know Aedion would do it without question, but he was never even given the illusion of a choice the way that Lysandra was).
I also think that Aedion and Elide are two sides of the same coin. Aedion was hurt by Lysandra not filling him in on the plan, and Elide was hurt that Lorcan didn’t tell her that he’d summoned Maeve. Neither Aedion nor Elide initially forgave their respective significant others upon their first apology. (I would argue that Aelin should also have taken some of the brunt of Elide’s anger, seeing as her keeping secrets from her court is what scared Lorcan enough into calling Maeve, but obviously Elide did not feel that way). Elide and Aedion both say horrible things to their respective significant others, things that were said in hurt and anger and aren’t justified, but sometimes people say things when they’re hurt and angry. Aedion and Elide both realize how wrong they were as soon as their respective significant others nearly die. I do not see nearly as much criticism of the way Elide acted compared to the way Aedion did, when they were both in the same situation (and I genuinely believe that had they had tents while searching for Aelin, and had Lorcan entered Elide’s tent, she’d have thrown him out too).
One of my favorite things about this series is that most of the characters are grey. Aedion isn’t perfect, Elide isn’t perfect, nor Lysandra, nor Lorcan, nor Aelin, nor Chaol. They all have realistic human flaws. Aedion owned up to his mistakes, as did Lysandra, and they forgave each other. I think they’re both great characters and I like them together as a couple.
Can we talk a little about Aedion Ashryver? I used to love him, then hate him and now I’m loving him again.
When most people say Chaol is the most human and realistic I say they’re wrong because Aedion is everything they want Chaol to be.
He was fighting a war he was sure to die in because everyone put their hopes on him even if he barely has more power than the general human in the world, he’s deeply flawed in the way that we all are
If the family we spent years looking for had lied to us before being taken away, anger would be the general reaction. Anger for ourselves that transforms into anger toward everyone around us, that’s a part of grief
Yes, he’s been a dick to Lysandra but she lied to him before and while she’s right when she says she didn’t owe him anything, he was right in being angry at her. There are no healthy and good ways to show your anger when you’re in a war camp.
Anyway, I’ll always love Aedion Ashryver because he’s the most like us reader

So I know the name Aelin Galithynius is mentioned in the Throne of Glass (the book with that title). My roommate is currently reading it, and I don’t want to ask her if Aelin’s name has been mentioned yet bc I don’t want to spoil the twist, but i do want to look to see where she is to see if she’s passed that little tidbit. Does anyone remember which page in the series Aelin’s name is mentioned for the first time?

I’m rewatching The Hunger Games movies, and god damn I just remembered how much I love Mockingjay part 1 for so many reasons, but my favorite two scenes have to be 1. When Peeta is witnessing Katniss sing The Hanging Tree while he’s in the Capitol, and when Katniss sings “a dead man called out for his love to flee”, it skips to Peeta warning Katniss about the incoming bombing in 13, and 2. When Snow tells Katniss over the video call, “it’s the things we love the most that destroy us. I want you to remember that I said that” after Katniss asked if she finally convinced him that she loves Peeta, and then Peeta comes back and literally tries to destroy her.
Like this movie is SO POETIC it’s one of my all time favorite book to movie adaptations and I could rave about this movie forever in so much detail ugh I love it

So I met this guy and he’s the sweetest ever (like I didn’t know guys like him existed in real life). He:
- met me at my door when he was picking me up with an umbrella and held the umbrella over my head as we walked and opened my car door so I wouldn’t get wet
- drove me to work and brought a second umbrella because we were going separate ways and he didn’t know if I was prepared for the rain that day
- bought my favorite food from four different restaurants in town for me to blind taste test and decide which was my favorite since I’m somewhat new in town
- never lets me walk alone in the dark even though we’re neighbors and always insists on either walking me or driving me home
- will casually text me to ask me to tell him the highlight of my day
- remembered the name of my favorite restaurant from my hometown i causally mentioned once in person in passing
- stayed up until midnight to listen to All Too Well (Ten Minute Version) with me the night it released because I had been excitedly talking about it for weeks prior
Like just overall the nicest guy, but we are PhD students in the same department (who sometimes collab and take classes together) so I feel like this is a bad idea. Does anyone have any thoughts?

This 100%!! Aedion was definitely a jerk in the way he treated Lysandra, and the brunt of that anger should’ve been shared with Aelin, but obviously Aelin wasn’t there to receive it. He was an ass, but he was (IMO) justified and he apologized.
Aedion had been begging Aelin for months to include him on her plans, and time and time again she ignored him and only told him things that were convenient for her, even though they were actively at war and he’s her general. That anger bubbled over and unfortunately only Lysandra was around to take the brunt of it (it doesn’t make it right, but it’s understandable).
Aedion had told Lysandra in EoS about his desire to have a relationship with her and maybe one day marry her, so imagine his POV when he finds out he’ll sire Lysandra’s children, never claim them as his own, and watch her marry another man and impersonate his only remaining relative. It took away Aedion’s choice and forced him into a sexual situation he did not agree too. Aelin took advantage of his undying loyalty by assuming he’d just blindly do this.
The two women Aedion loved the most lied to him. He’s allowed to be hurt about that. Everyone in this situation is an asshole and I don’t get why people only act like Aedion was the only asshole. Lysandra and Aelin are also in the wrong.
I know there are people who think that Aedion treated Lysandra like shit in the last(?) book. it's been a hot minute since I've read it but I've been thinking a lot about Aedion recently
Lysandra and Aelin went behind everyone's back to have Lysandra pretend to be Aelin and for her to marry Aedion
Aedion was never told and it's such a horrible thing to do- but not only that, but fucking stupid too. Aedion is their General who knows their enemy (Adalarn) more intimately than all of them and they're not going to tell him about their ploy to play everyone
Aedion spent ten years thinking the closest person he had been with before his entire life shattered was dead. He was basically a slave to Adalarn and was forced to fight his own people thinking all was lost and that his beloved cousin was dead, thinking it his fault because he didn't protect her
There has also been allusions to Aedion being sexually abused in those war camps as well
Fast forward and now his cousin is alive and he narrowly escapes execution before he can see her again
and then she's ripped away from him again, but this time she was to be ripped away from him and Lysandra was supposed to pretend to be her and was supposed to marry him without him knowing. they mentioned children and offspring and explaining it away
what the fuck do you think that implies? he's married to a woman that is pretending to be someone else and is having sex with him and producing children with him. That is Not consensual
So he was mean to her and he pushed her in the snow. If I was him I quite possibly would have reacted much harshly
a lot of people, I think, think that he overreacted and that Lysandra wasn't as at fault honestly feels like it's because he's a man. Am I saying what he did was okay? not really, but I do fucking understand. that's for sure

Me, reading the Spanish Love Deception: god why does nothing like this ever happen to me? I would love for someone to ask me to be their fake date to a wedding in Europe I would play that part SO we’ll
My roommate: you realize that’s almost exactly what you’re doing in Scotland for New Year’s, right?
Me: oh yeah I almost forgot
I’m not sure how this even happened, but my life has become the plot of a rom com
I live in Florida in a house that doesn’t have a pool, so I go to a nearby apartment complex sometimes to use theirs. I met a Scottish couple at the pool and began talking to them. I told them I have never been to Scotland but have always wanted to. They told me they’re getting married in a few months in Edinburgh, and if I wanted to go, their best man is looking for a date. Flash forward to now, I am currently texting the best man, have a flight booked, and bought a dress to match his kilt. I cannot believe this happened.
Tldr; I met a random Scottish couple at the pool I trespass at and now I’m flying to Scotland to be their best friend’s wedding date

This!!! But also after the battle in Adriata in ACOWAR when Nesta says “you didn’t come to-“ and then Cassian and Nesta stare at each other for a really long time and then he takes her hand and says, “The next time, Emissary, I’ll come to say hello”. IT KILLS ME
I'm just gonna leave this right here...
"Cassian was sizing up Nesta, a gleam in his eyes that I could only interpret as a warrior finding himself faced with a new, interesting opponent."
---------------------------------------------------
“It’s been a few centuries since someone got under Cassian’s skin that easily. Too bad they’re both inclined to kill the other.”
---------------------------------------------------
"....He studied Nesta for a long moment. She was still glaring at the queens, her eyes lined with tears—tears of rage and despair, from that fire that burned her so violently from within. When she finally noticed Cassian, she looked up at him.
His voice was rough as he said, “Five hundred years ago, I fought on battlefields not far from this house. I fought beside human and faerie alike, bled beside them. I will stand on that battlefield again, Nesta Archeron, to protect this house—your people. I can think of no better way to end my existence than to defend those who need it most.”
I watched a tear slide down Nesta’s cheek. And I watched as Cassian reached up a hand to wipe it away.
She did not flinch from his touch...."
---------------------------------------------------
"...She didn't know what to do with it,that rage.It still burned and hunted her, still made her want to ride and roar and red the world in to pieces. She felt it all — too keenly, too sharply. Hated and cared and loved dread, more than other people, she sometimes thought. Could sift between them all in a matter of moments, like she was trying a different set of clothes, and no one could tell or care.
Except him. He could see it, feel it.
That first afternoon, he'd looked at her— not at the face and the body that human men marked, but her— and he had seen at all. She'd wanted to hurt him for it before he could reveal those things to everyone else...."
---------------------------------------------------
"...The guards shoved my sister into the Cauldron in a single movement.
My cry hadn’t finished sounding before Elain’s head went under.
She did not come up.
Nesta’s screaming was the only sound. Cassian blindly lurched toward it—toward her, moaning in pain."
---------------------------------------------------
“Why do you bother, Cassian?”
... “Because I can’t stay away.”
---------------------------------------------------
“Why?”
Nesta’s eyes shot right to his face. She spoke quietly to me, to all of us, even as she held Cassian’s gaze as if he were the only one in the room. “By the end of this war, I want them dead. The king, the queens—all of them. Promise me you’ll kill them all, and I’ll help you patch up the wall. I’ll train with her”—a jerk of her chin to Amren—“I’ll go to the Hewn City or whatever it is … I’ll do it. But only if you promise me that.”
---------------------------------------------------
...And then Nesta began screaming. Not in pain. But a name. Over and over.
“CASSIAN.”
Amren reached for her, but Nesta roared, “CASSIAN!”
She scrambled to her feet, as if she’d leap into the skies.
Her body lurched, and she went down, heaving again.
A figure shot from the Illyrian ranks, spearing for us, flapping hard, red Siphons blazing—
...The earth seemed to shudder in response.
No—not in response to her. In terror of the thing that erupted from Hybern’s army.
...Cassian was halfway to us when the Cauldron’s blast hit the Illyrian forces.
...Ashes rained down upon our foot soldiers.
Nesta had known. She gaped up at me, terror and agony on her face, then scanned the sky for Cassian, who flapped in place, as if torn between coming for us and charging back to the scattering Illyrian and Peregryn ranks. She’d known where that blast was about to hit.
Cassian had been right in the center of it.
Or would have been, if she hadn’t called him away.
(I'm convinced that the caudron only tried to attack him in this scene because of her, I don't know why)
---------------------------------------------------
“Something is wrong,” Nesta insisted.
“I’m not doubting you feel that way but … If none of the others are picking it up—”
“I am not like the others.” Her throat bobbed. “We need to leave.”
“I can send you back to Velaris, but we have things to discuss here—”
“I don’t care about me, I—”
The door opened, and Cassian stalked in, face grave. The sight of the wings, the Illyrian armor in this opulent, pink-filled room planted itself in my mind, the painting already taking form, as he said, “What’s wrong.”
He studied every inch of her. As if there were nothing and no one else here, anywhere.
---------------------------------------------------
Cassian stepped in Nesta’s path when she tried to walk past him. Put a tan, callused hand on her forehead. She shook off the touch, but he gripped her wrist, forcing her to meet his stare. “Any one of those human pricks makes a move to hurt you,” he breathed, “and you kill them.”
---------------------------------------------------
Nesta stood by the nearest tent, an empty water bucket between her feet. Her hair a damp mess atop her mud-flecked head. Watching us emerge, grim-faced—
“He’s fine. Healed and awake,” I said quickly.
Nesta’s shoulders sagged a bit.
....
Your sister came immediately when I explained what we needed, Rhys said. I think seeing Cassian hurt convinced her not to pick a fight today.
Or convinced my sister to pick a fight with someone else entirely.
---------------------------------------------------
This are nessian's scenes that I don't see a lot of people talking about and... they're beautiful.
I love and miss my babies very much.
