Rhysand to Ember: “Are you calling me a monster, Ember Quinlan?”
Me Reading About It:
Tumblr media
I have to appreciate his small instances of self-reflection. It goes nowhere of course, but it’s still a miracle to see.

obsessed with how one of the big theories leading up to HOFAS was Azriel being a Prince of Hel just for Ember Quinlan to say this when she saw Nesta:
Tumblr media

Halfway through my Queen of Shadows reread and I'd written up this super long post running through a ton of 👀 parallels between ACOTAR, TOG, and CC witches, priestesses, and two of our favorite gingers' birth stories. But one second before posting the draft erased itself 🥹... Cute. I'll try again at one point because I want some smartie out there on the interwebs to tell me what it all means.
My conclusion every time is just like, "is everyone a witch?" and tbh I stand by that. But also... breeding... I hate to talk about it, but it's unavoidable at this point. All roads lead it to it unfortunately.

It hurts my heart how defeated Nesta is in in HOFAS. Rhysand and Cassian need to fuck off and go jump and die in a ditch somewhere. I'm all for killing every member of the Inner Circle but Rhysand and Cassian have gotta go first. EMBER QUINLAN MY QUEEN!!!! Oh how it warmed my heart to see Ember stand up for Nesta. The mother Nesta deserved, the mother that would bring Nesta back from her defeat in HOFAS. Strong, fierce, experience with assholes like Rhysand; she dealt with the Autumn King after all. WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH THE INNER CIRCLE???? FIRST TAMLIN NOW NESTA??? BOTH OF THEM SAVED THEIR SORRY ASSES. NO GRATEFULNESS WHATSOEVER. FUCK OFF! I might just write Ember Quinlan and Nesta Archeron bonding and kicking Rhysand and Cassian's asses once and for all. Also, it amuses me how both Bryce and Ruhn don't think Rhys is worth jack shit either. It's almost like nobody likes the Inner Circle outside of their little cult meetings.

My TL;DR of the Ember and Randall bonus is:
• Rhys is objectively correct in his stance and for once I agree with him and his reasoning. Nesta pretty much gambled the safety of their entire world on a girl she knew for barely days and who offered no assurance she could take down the Asteri. People have all the right in the world to be mad at her.
• That said, the way he handled that situation was abysmal. I get the anger, but after the first outburst, it's clear his dislike of Nesta is fueling his reaction and that's not cool and it's off-putting, even if his reasons are sound.
• Nesta Archeron, THE LEGEND THAT YOU ARE, STANDING UP TO THIS. Absolutely BOSS.
• Ember Quinlan, THE LEGEND THAT YOU ARE, STANDING UP TO THIS. Absolutely MOTHER.
• Feyre Archeron, THE LEGEND THAT YOU ARE, STANDING UP TO THIS. Absolutely QUEEN. But she could have been so on-page and I'm salty she wasn't :)))))
• Fuck Cassian for not standing up for his mate. You had one job and you fucked it up ♥. I'm more angry at him on Nesta's behalf than I'm Rhys because HE'S SUPPOSED TO BE ON NESTA'S SIDE.

HOFAS side characters that are slept on:
Fury Axtar - Like WTF, she is such as badass character, with this whole hinted Holy Trinity of Sleek Black Bobs thing (Amren, Viper Queen and Fury) and she has been reduced to fetching things for Bryce (drugs, helicopters, guns, ski gear)
Ariadne - where'd she go? 🤷🏼‍♀️
Sofie Renast - SJMaas keeps bringing her up but why? Is she important or not?
Sigrid Fendyr - circumstances (*cough* Ithan) keep getting in the way, but she must be destined for more than just sucking souls
Cooper Renast/Quinlan - just to keep Ember company?
Baxian - Official hand biter and Avallen babysittter. Reluctant flerd wrangler.
I hope that all these characters are just being set up for more exploration in future books (Rhysand in ACOTAR 1) but I'm starting to get the feeling that this is just it, and it's a case of too many side characters, too little time. I mean even Tharion, Ithan and Hypaxia's stories felt a little squashed to me, like there wasn't enough room for them to be main characters.

What do you think of Ember Quinlan as a mother ? . I personally don't like her because she had her daughter hate on half of herself and other fae to the point she shows no care about their well-being after taking titles of Queen left and right . She also seems to be more immature than both Feyre and Elain and not a good role model to Nesta .
Ehhh...
that whole family is cray
I wouldve loved to have seen Ruhn's mom. Ember isnt terrible, i understand her motivations in some way, but her daughter is really shitty. Her attitude toward others is shitty. She was shitty in Prythian too.
If I never see Bryce again, I'll be okay. Though I wouldn't mind Aelin putting her in her place. It would be fun.

What can you tell us about the Shadow AU? my interest is piqued
AHHH, thank you anon, I would love to tell you about it.This fic is one I haven't been working on much (and in fact have forbidden myself to work on until after I finish Every Shadow), but one that I've been lusting after nonstop for a few months, haha. And I'm glad you chose this one to ask about because this one has the most convoluted backstory on the planet.
Backstory:
It all starts (montage style) when the Queen of Zygerria dies before she can tell Anakin about the Kadavo system. So they figure out where Obi-Wan & Rex are months later than in canon. Which means Anakin basically goes feral for the rescue campaign. Unfortunately Obi-Wan has already been sold at that point... and Anakin's carnage was great at keeping slaves alive but terrible at preserving any records of whom Obi-Wan might have been sold to. So Obi-Wan is gone. There are no leads. The Jedi are looking!! But they're not finding anything. Nothing can really be done.
So Anakin has a mental breakdown and tries his absolute hardest to get himself expelled from the Jedi Temple. The Jedi Council has concerns about things he confesses, yes, but they're not gonna expel him, lmao. They want to help him. So despite Anakin's attempts to convince them that he is the Worst™, they don't confine him in the Temple, they don't strip him of his Knighthood, and they don't pull him from the army. Anakin, of course, is furious about this—so he pretty much does all of that to himself. He refuses to leave his bedroom, he begs Ahsoka to get a different master (she eventually agrees to save him stress), and he resigns as a General (to which the Council probably accepts on the condition that he gets therapy during his time off or something—they're very worried for him because he's not doing well).
Enter Quinlan, who feels like Obi-Wan would want him to look after Anakin in his time of need. So Quinlan gets the boy to therapy, gets him on antidepressants maybe, and generally helps him come out of the self-loathing spiral. Unfortunately for Quinlan (and despite Quinlan's many objections), Anakin feels that he's in need of a mentor. He starts learning Shadow things, inviting himself to missions, and bullying his way into Quinlan's life. At first, Anakin's only interested in shadow work because it's what Quinlan does... but after awhile, Anakin actually starts to really like it! (Whenever he's not crying on a couch watching sad holodramas and eating chocolate, ofc.)
Cut to like 5 years later (which is probably when the Actual Fic starts.... I still haven't figured out what I'm gonna do structurally because ^^^^ was all backstory but that's like.... a lot of backstory lmao).
Anakin is on a shadow mission with Quinlan and gets dropped off to do part of it on his own (because he's developed an affinity for shadow things and Quinlan trusts him to do the job well). On this mission, by sheer stroke of luck, he encounter Obi-Wan in some random backwater outer-rim area. And actually, I feel like a (very drafty) excerpt from that scene is the best way to describe the Vibes of this AU:
The Durosian moans into the kiss. His hand gropes over Obi-Wan’s trousers, Obi-Wan lets out a small, feeble whimper, and Anakin—he— These feelings you're having aren't for him, kid, Quinlan once told him.  They’d been sitting together, sweat rolling rivers down their faces, and the sparring hadn’t been enough, it was never enough, to drown the blistering coals in Anakin’s chest.  You think they are, but they’re not. They’re for you. And Anakin had thrown his lightsaber across the salle. He’d sprung to his feet and started to yell, hands shaking, ears ringing. He said so many things that day he didn’t mean. Things Quinlan took with an opaque stare, but things Anakin, deep down, knows must have left an impression.  Quinlan had waited for the embers of Anakin’s temper to burn out. He’d waited for Anakin’s hatred to deflate into the persistent misery of what he’d done (what he’d become). Then, when Anakin collapsed onto the bench and started sobbing into his hands, Quinlan had tucked a comforting arm around his shoulders.  You carrying a picture of him in your head, he’d said. A picture of him waiting on Kadavo to be rescued. But when you went to Kadavo to save him, he wasn’t there, remember. He was already gone. This image you’re carrying—it’s a lie you created to handle your guilt. It doesn’t serve him or you, and you need to let it go. Right now, Anakin is picturing a victim. He’s picturing a freshly caught slave terrified of what will be done to him. He’s picturing a version of Obi-Wan in need of rescue, a version of him that is kicking and screaming and crying because—because Anakin needs to rescue him, and kicking, screaming, and crying are things people who need to be rescued do. Anakin forces himself to exhale. Unclench his fingers. Sink into his chair. Obi-Wan is not kicking or screaming or crying. Obi-Wan has been a slave for five years. His palms are pressing defiantly against the weight of the Durosian’s chest, yes, but there’s no sincerity to his strength. His feet are planted somewhat farther apart than normal, and his lips are parted, and if he really wanted to kick and scream and cry, then he would bite down on the tongue ravaging his mouth. It occurs to Anakin in an instant. This isn’t new for him. Obi-Wan has been kissed before. He’s been groped before. He’s been assaulted before. And Anakin could tear their bodies apart, drag Obi-Wan through the station, and stage a cathartic rescue—but it wouldn’t change whatever happened to Obi-Wan yesterday. Or last year. Or the year before. It wouldn’t change what happened on Kadavo. It wouldn’t bring his fantastical image to life. This version of Obi-Wan, the one who is standing in front of him, the one whose body has gone slack and pliant, can handle this—and Anakin needs to trust him to do so.
But anyway so then Anakin covertly and discreetly buys Obi-Wan off the owner (more complicated than that, but whatever lol), and then panic-calls Quinlan, and then the fic is Quinlan & Anakin trying to help a very traumatized and frightened Obi-Wan get better whilst fix-it fic stuff happens.

AHHH 😭😭😭😭 I’m done 😭😭💔💔. That was a bloody rollercoaster. I really hope CC2 gives us at least 5 chapters of happy hunt & Bryce before shit does down. And I PRAY SJM doesn’t play no tamlin switch up.
NO BRYCEHUNT IS ENDGAME. I WILL BE ON SITE IF THEY AREN'T. SJM AND I WILL HAVE A PROBLEM. tbh cc2 I mean something is gonna happen....probably separation trope or some shit that WILL piss me off but I don't care as long as they are at least mostly happy and as long as they don't get fucking cockblocked anymore. I mean if it's not bloody wings it's Ember Quinlan, queen of cockblocks. and I know Ember is worried because her life was upended by a Vanir male (though I do believe in his own twisted fucked up way the Autumn King did love her and probably does love Bryce even though he's incapable of showing it) but Hunt is a GOOD PERSON. he's not even morally gray ffs. he is legitimately good. ugh I LOVE HIM
when did you cry the hardest? lehabah? the phone call? LIGHT IT UP, DANIKA? those are my top three.
wasn't that epilogue WILD??? I have so many questions. apparently Tharion will be featured heavily in cc2. which is great just as long as I get the same amount of brycehunt and maybe a dash more POV from Ruhn. I love my shadow prince 🥰
