ACOTAR dudes and how much they care about their ✨aesthetic✨

Lucien: He cares, do you think his hair is shinny and silky just by Cauldron’s grace? no it isn’t. He has a routine and a secret conditioner that gives it a golden-like shine, he won’t share it with anyone, no Cassian, stop asking. He knows what colors work with his complexion and what silhouettes enhance his not buff but very defined muscles in a subtle yet you can’t ignore it way. He knows what works, but he’s the best at making it seem like he doesn’t know and it’s just how he woke up. Lucien has the what I just rolled out of bed and put the first thing on really vibe nailed to perfection

Rhys: He cares a lot and he knows you know and he doesn’t care. Self proclaimed Prythian’s hottest High Lord will drop on you his 15 step skin care routine, will facemask twice a week, homemade, with plants, herbs, roots and fruits courtesy of Elain’s garden, how do you think I don’t have wrinkles with all the stress and anxiety I constantly have; and will give you a closet tour of all his black suits if you ask.. and he will judge you if you think they are all black and the same. How dare you this is not “black” this is ebony, this other one is raven, my absolute favorite is midnight (duh), then we have sable and obsidian. That high fae given eyesight really got wasted on you. And also, Feyre where is my ink black suit?// I left it on the bed //no that’s not it, that’s my jade black suit, honestly woman.

Cassian: Doesn’t really care, but he looks nice and will make an effort when required. I mean he has a couple of suits, they hug his ass and that’s all he cares about. Used to have an all in shampoo conditioner, until Mor and Rhys  bullied him into getting a shampoo and a conditioner. Even Az was like Bro, c’mon. Each one of them got Cass hair products for winter solstice once. Now his man bun is as nice ass his other man bun. Tried asking Lucien for his secret, what secret this is just how I woke up. The definition of scrubs up hella nice. Perfect mixture of nice but rough on the edges with a 5pm shadow, hair down (or in the preferred man bun) and a delicious suit. Will always always roll up his sleeves. He knows what it does to the people. Ok whore. Very much into skin brushing. He said no to dead skin cells and yes to good circulation. Weekly massages. The body is a temple ok?

Azriel: He wants you to think he doesn’t care, but he does and he will spend time getting ready for the events, more than he will ever admit. Listen if Lucien is the 10/10 you would never guess that he actually pays attention to this, then Az is like the 8/10. A man of details and has a great eye for color and pattern combinations. No you will not ever catch him in a full bright colored suit, but he enjoys going for different textures and colors albeit dark ones. He looks particularly good in blue and green. Once Mor asked him to accompany her to an event and he came in wearing a merlot velvet three piece suit and no one has been able to stop talking about it.It’s been three centuries. My man served. He will coordinate with you in a subtle way like did they plan that or?? He knows the value of a good aesthetic, but won’t go raving about it, like a certain High Lord.

Helion: KING OF AESTHETIC. COMMITTED TO HIS AESTHETIC FROM HEAD TO TOE, TO HIS HOUSE AND PEGASUS(ES) AND CHARIOTS AND ALL. Not a hair out of fucking place. Sweatpants? I don’t know them. Ew. One must always dress to impress. What do I wear when I want to chill? have you ever worn a toga? It’s either a Toga or nothing, I happen to have nothing in my rooms. Will host parties where the dress code is bohemian chic meets royaltycore, and everyone is like ????????????????????????

Kallias: I mean yes I want to look good, yes I will dress up when the occasion calls for it. But generally speaking no one has ever achieved the balance between comfort and put together like Kallias. Also immaculate immaculate skin. Big believer in face rollers and gua shas. Gave each member of the Night Court their own set, they all deeply appreciate it. 

Tarquin: Of course I fucking care, but the Cauldron did not give me these looks for nothing so I won’t do much really. Sunblock and water. Will, however, try out new styles here and there, in the privacy of his own home and court and if they prove to be a success, then you will see him wearing that to the official Prythian meetings. Will do a 180 on you and appear proper af during the meetings, but in the parties he will show up wearing exquisite jewellery and a long skirt. Dude can rock a skirt. Dude also wears dresses. Looks nice. Will most definitely outshine you. Will neither confirm nor deny that once Az approached him asking him where he got that dress. Will always get the assignment when it comes to Helion’s parties.

Jurian: Pre-amarantha accessory used to be a I have a set of fighting clothes/armour whatever, and the nicer set of those for *political* occasions kinda dude. Post amarantha accessory is more like maybe I will invest in that nice jacket green jacket with gold details, fuck you vassa I did not buy it to match Lucien.

Tamlin: Will show up to the MET Gala in a “black” tuxedo regardless of the theme.

Why do you think people hate on elain so much?

First of all I'm really sorry for not answering this sooner. Anyways this is going to be a long rant so here we go:

First of all we have to understand that a whole portion of the ACOTAR fandom is extremely mysoginistic and terrible towards females. It happened since the beginning and it'll keep happening until the series is done, unfortunately. Second, there's a really hard pill to swallow and it's the fact that neither Nesta or Elain were developed in the previous books. Let me explain this:

Sarah has stated several times that in the beginning she had no plans for neither nesta and elain. They were supposed to be the bad sisters like cinderella step-sisters. Their only role was to complete feyre's arc and maybe give some background to her story. That changed drastically when nesta started speaking to Sarah (in her own words). Let me say something that it's not beautiful or easy to say: nor nesta, nor elain are developed in feyre's story, nor in the novella A court of frost and starlight. It's true than in this one we got to see more of Nesta. But what personality did we see?. We saw the ugly side of Nesta. The sister who was selfish, nasty and rude to everyone except Elain. We got to see how ungrateful she was. How Elain took a backseat and how Nesta was a little more developed because her book was next. The main question is does nesta have a personality?. Sure, she does. But also does Elain. Nesta spend her days drinking and fucking every random person she met because she couldn't deal with her trauma in any other way. Elain spend her days doing some gardening and working in Velaris because it was her way to cope with trauma. The problem?. One side is okay for readers and the other isn't. People tend to think female characters always need to be strong and independent. They need to be bitter, they need to be hateful and terrible because that means they are strong. they are warriors. They can get a free pass doing shitty things because of their trauma. They can abuse their family members for years and it's okay because it's the product of her trauma and it's their personality. It's the way they are and we have to forgive them. But when a character is quiet, shy, and calm suddenly that trauma is invalid. Because that person is not strong. That person automatically is boring. Let me tell you something more: for years, in fantasy, people has been seeing one female archetype: the one who is strong,well-trained and can fight. That's the norm most of the time. But once there's another character that is more quiet and acts behind the scenes, suddenly that character is not interesting. Is not worth of a fantasy book. And you have to ask yourself why is that? Because they are more similar to male characters and they used to be predominant in fantasy. So the hate on elain it's just a product of a lot of internalized mysoginia. There's a difference between saying: i don't find elain interesting because we don't know much about her (very valid) and saying elain is useless and an unseasoned chicken( this comment was made by a famous booktuber who is all about empowering females until they are the quiet ones btw). Personally I think the acotar fandom needs something to hate on. First it was Nesta, then it's elain and then it will be Mor. Because they are already hating on her. Meanwhile does anyone hate any of the 3 batboys?. Did people hate on Cassian before his book was out?. No. Are people hating on azriel?. Absolutely not, everyone is talking about his dick even if the guy is more boring than an unseasoned chicken(see what i did there?). So the root of the problem is not elain itself. It's the fandom and how much they dislike females until they get their own book.

Btw i hope nobody is offended about nesta's comments. I'm just trying to point out that she didn't have a greater development before her book than elain's. She was just an angry and bitter person before we got to see her arc.
