#sjm is a zionist

[shadowqueenjude]

Do people not understand…that criticism and analysis of literature has existed since the dawn of time? That the way you write is often reflective of your irl beliefs? That analyzing characters can often be done by taking them out of their fictional reality and placing them in our world (literally the whole fucking point of modern aus???)?? That art and literature make an impact, particularly in the cohort that it’s popular in, and are therefore subject to interpretation? If your only defense for something is “it’s not that deep,” then you’ve missed the whole fucking point of literature, and that frankly means that you’re admitting the critics are correct.

#literature #literary analysis #get a fucking grip #sjm critical #i will criticize as much as i want #sjm is a zionist #it’s evidence in the text #she dickrides rhysand and wrote him with the same ideology as herself #zionism #hate to break it to you

[kataraavatara]

i still can’t believe the idea that the CoN as a front to “pROtEcT VELaRis” is an acceptable idea both in world and to the fandom at large. like. imagine you’re at the faerie equivalent of a UN meeting and you don’t trust one of the countries because they have a history of serious human rights violations. and the leaders of said country are like. “Yeah. We DO allow tons of human rights violations in our territory, but only in one area. we actually have a secret city where none of that happens, and the reason we encourage those human rights violations is so our evil reputation can PROTECT the good city” and your reaction is “oh word. You were actually the GOOD GUYS all along, sorry I wasn’t familiar with your game.” instead of like idk being horrified that some citizens are subjugated and treated as second class in order to benefit the others.

#this is definitely connected to SJM being a Zionist but I can’t quite articulate how yet #but we do understand why velaris in concept and in practice is horrible #the real reason they didn’t want to reveal to the CoN isn’t because they’d “ruin it” #but because all the “dreamers” left behind would be rightfully resentful #and velaris doesn’t even have to provide armies!! #they do! the Darkbringers are dying for a city they’re banned from because of their birth status! #being a good ruler means being good to ALL your people #carly’s anti rhysand manifesto #anti rhysand #anti inner circle #night court critical #velaris acotar #anti velaris #anti acotar

The Lady Nesta Archeron

Shoddy since I haven't done this in ages and I still haven't gotten a new phone so I don't have my fave app ☹️

#she really got me through these books #nesta archeron #we go together #anti sjm #she's a zionist freak and a bad author

[ecce-felix]

Stans claiming sjm isn’t a zionist are so delusional. It’s not even about her traveling to Israel and ‘feeling proud’ (which is zionist in general for several reasons but I digress) Her books are full of zionist and colonialist ideology. In TOG her protagonist is a literal colonizer who thinks she should conquer the world to ‘help’ it. The human rebels in TOG are written like cowardly ineffectual idiots who only get in the protagonists’ way. In ACOTAR, an ex slave is shat on by the narrative & the main characters for…*checks notes*…manipulating and then killing a slaver. He’s treated like a villain even after he proves himself (at BEST he’s considered morally grey by the end). In CC she specifically portrays the human rebels to be LITERAL child killing psychopaths who murder innocent vanir for no reason. A rebel leader shoots several vanir who were helping them. Like they bring them supplies and she has them killed on the spot. Just bc she’s EVIL I guess. And then the protagonists sabotage the rebellion’s weapons and ruin one of their bases because of it and it’s portrayed as this great act that will preserve peace (in a society with literal slaves where certain minorities are ALWAYS born slaves or second class citizens). The vanir (some of whom LITERALLY EAT HUMANS) are portrayed as innocent victims of violent extremism, instead of being portrayed as colonizers who willingly benefit from the suffering of humans/slaves. (I say the Vanir are colonizers bc in the w second book we find out the Vanir came from other worlds and the CC world originally belonged ONLY to humans but humans aren’t even viewed as full citizens and are more often slaves). These are Zionist beliefs. Focus on more than the smutty bits and you wouldn’t be so shocked.

its very interesting to me how Tamlin is the character and High Lord that is heavily vilified (I would almost say even more than Beron strangely) when he is the only High Lord to have talked about d how he has gone about removing slavery within his court, protecting lower fae in general, and his court was open to immigration from other courts (i cant remember if its mentioned again in acomaf but in acotar fae from other courts are free to move to the spring court. example, Alis) and how overall he is a great leader. Especially when you compare him and Rhysand as High Lords.

The Court of Nightmares is well, a nightmare. Its existence is extremely strange and makes Rhysand look very odd. as well as its unclear how Rhysand gets his wealth. Velaris was a hidden city until acomaf-ish, which means it was locked (so no immigration or emigration which isn't bad per-say but does bring up how it works economically) and Rhysands inability or unwillingness to protect his citizens (not enforcing the wing clipping ban and allowing people to be abused in the CoN. and before anyone starts about him not being able to control the illyrians, why did he make it a law in the first place? It just makes him look bad) makes him look like a shitty ruler. His supposed "feminism" and friendship with the people of velaris doesnt answer these very important questions or justify the strange shit he does. Versus Tamlin, which you can refer to my opening statement for the comparison. Also to note, his rule only came into question and stability after Feyre broke into people minds (which I do feel is extremely gross and a huge violation of ones autonomy and privacy) and had to sabotage him. I won't comment how I feel about this in this post, but it says a lot that she had to go through such lengths to break him down. Especially after it was revealed he was in fact a double agent and never actually siding with Hybern.

The only time Tamlin is an arguably bad high lord is in acofas and acosf where he is in a severe mental crisis and not in a position to properly rule. But even then, it's not clear if this is actually causing harm to the land and people. It's probably not good because they don't have a proper leader but I can't believe it's a severe issue.

Its definitely a strange choice, isn't it? Cause I think anyone in their right mind would choose the anti-tyranny, anti-slavery leader who does his best for his people... and its somehow not our supposed 'hero'

"I once told you I would fight against tyranny, against that sort of evil. Did you think you were enough to turn me from that?"

Acowar, chapter 44

#pro tamlin #tamlin #acotar #anti rhysand #sjm critical #ive posted before about how rhysand is performative i just need to find the post #his characterization in acomaf is actually bonkers #sjm definitely tries to make him 'evil' or antagonistic but fails spectacularly #I would say with my own review and experiences that Tamlin is not an abuser. Thats a debated topic in the fandom and i do plan to make #dedicated post about this. Tamlins actions arent okay but his reasoning is understandable and makes a huge difference in analyzing him #i think a huge issue is ppl take feyres pov too seriously. shes an unreliable narrator her pov is biased to her feelings aka sjm narrative #thats why when people look outside feyres pov and remove her biases. look purely at the factual inform and do some logical thinking #those people tend to be 'pro tamlin' or appreciate his character more and dont just blindly hate him #also why anti rhysanders exist and why nesta is such a debated character #anti sjm #i also think tamlins vilification REEKS of sjms shitty personal views #we already know shes a zionist and racist. vilifing tamlin is so bad when you think about it with that in mind #arson yaps about tamlin #arsons acotar deep dive #this is a bit of a ramble this isnt SUPER serious until i say it is

haven't read CC but oh my fucking god?

[shesalittlelost]

The antis in acotar fandom are genuinely some of the most deranged, completely disconnected from the real world people I've seen and that's because they think that hating the main characters that SJM herself loves very much is some form of moral activism. Which, to them, means they can say the most wild fucking nonsense like "men don't mind being sexually abused if the woman doing it is beautiful", saying actual pocs are lying about their race just coz they disagreed with you and now using a real life genocide that's happening in real time to further their own petty nonsensical fanwars. These are the same people who still keep promoting her work & keep giving her their money by buying her books.

They don't give a shit about the actual issues plaguing her works no, they're bitter that their own xyz fav didn't get a better story/biased against some characters in the series & instead of being normal about it they shamelessly feel the need to moralize their hate coz they're losers who don't get enough attention at home. That's all it comes down to. If today that woman announces that she is writing a Nesta or a Tamlin book these same fuckers will be the first ones placing tons of preorders and making her a hit.

#sjm #acotar #fandom fuckery #wonder if their tiny little brains realize that the character they've a parasocial relationship with is written by the same zionist author #your gworlboss badass kween isn't any different or separate from the woman who wrote her fuckhead #what world do you live in?

What if I killed myself

#she’s literally a Zionist why am I surprised tumblr is advertising her books #anti sjm #anti sarah j maas #anti booktok

[brothersnackariahsbitch]

SJM being a Zionist and naming one of her character’s long dead relatives Yafa is quite literally sick and twisted

#anti sjm #anti zionist #anti occupation #free palestine #boycott sjm #this is an SJM hate page

[rosenecklaces]

also sjm would be destroyed massively by her portray of illyrians (wich? well deserved)

#idk if talked about this but like #illyria/illyrians is very real thing. i talked to an Alban girl who was telling me about it #and tho she was more mad about the fact they are brown/black in the books (i side eyed her for that) #she did make a point that compared to sjm taking stuff from old myths/leyends #she also have no rewards or mind her actions when it comes to write/hint about real people and real cultures #anyways if that show came out she would be eated tf up and i would be sitting eating candy 🤷🏽‍♀️ NO ONE told her to write them like that #but well she's a public zionist so either this or that would been her downfall if that show airs

[ptolemaeaea]

i try So Hard to be nice abt booktok ppl bc i firmly believe ppl reading any book at all is better than them reading nothing at all but fucking hell do they annoy the shit out of me sometimes

#can we pls move on from sjm #leave her zionist ass behind

[daisymylove]

Right, so, I'm an acotar hater with all my heart 😍 and don't care for the other sjm books in the least.In fact, it came as no surprise at all that she's a zionist, considering that her beloved ruler not only hoards copious amounts of wealth while his people is segregated, most of them living in poverty, and the marginalized /brown folks being portrayed as inferior, backward brutes and arseholes unworthy of their precious city and time.Did I mention that over half of his people hates him? Fantastic leader 😍👏🏻☺️🥰😘

Anyway I found out recently that there's a crossover between the series, got the context about what nesta did and went to read the extra chapter online to see bat lord's hissy fit first-hand.

Bryce's mom is low key shitty btw, my own mom is far from perfect, but even if she did want to obliterate me, she would never stand by and let some random fucker say that, let alone bad mouth me to said random fucker.Its odd that she seems to stand up more for a boy that she has known for weeks and a woman she just met than her own kid, also I would file for fucking divorce on the spot if my husband had decided to be complicit on a sexist joke about me and our daughter with aforementioned fucker, but I digress

What I did like about her tho was how she handed lavender eyes' ass to him.Someone has to since apparently feyre has been lobotomized and those cult members of the ic murdered Nesta's fighting spirit

And tbh I feel so bad for her, she seems so subdued for nesta's standarts. I wanted to reach for her hand and tell her that 1 if her husband loves counterfeit Batman so much he can go gag on his cock all day, she'll find something better in no time and 2 she'll do it sooner rather than later bc her sister and her are coming with me.If feyrug wants to bring the devilspawn along its fine too

The thing is the average acotar fan is pretty much Sjms trained dog.They'll go along with everything the narrative says, no reading comprehension skills whatsoever.But apparently all characters from CC who have met Rice bowl dislike him and like Nesta, so I am now wondering if she's not planning to reveal later on that Batfae was the villain all along and completely fried Feyre's brain.Again, I don't expect much from a zionist, but its undeniable that it doesn't add up, to the point that I'm wondering if it's the sake person writing the books.I would like someone who actually read the Cc books I would rather lick a McDonald's slider than subject myself to that togive their opinions

sjm really did not need to make ophion so mustache twirling evil

#how do you make the only faction fighting for human rights in the ENTIRE WORLD villains in BOTH BOOKS #i do LOVE the way cormac read bryce abt her nails lmao #more proof sjm is a zionist there's more whining abt vanir dying than humans being slaves & chattel & food #the vanir Literally eat human beings and hold them as slaves & mistreat any kids that happen from r*ping them #but OH NOOO YOU CANT KILL VANIR WTF :((( #those evil humans wont just die peacefully why do they have to fight back :(( #even though its THEIR WORLD! THEY WERE THERE FIRST!!! #YOU FUCKERS ALL JUST SHOWED UP THRU A RIP IN THE UNIVERSE ONE DAY #the constant whining abt how 'monstrous' the mech suits are like i didnt have to read abt danika's father EATING a young human couple #god FORBID they try to adapt to fight back fairly against you fuckers aye

[arson-09]

in case anyone was wondering my search for a used copy of acotar is still ongoing🧍🏻

#i am NOT giving author lady a n y of my money #i will keep checking the thrift stores and used bookstores in my area #and if you want a physical copy i recommend doing the same #as sjm is a zionist! and we dont support that shit around here ! #I only want a physical copy to annotate because i comprehend books better when physically reading them #fighting for my life rn for this fuckass series

[whitedemon-ladydeath]

not me watching a video about SJMs "bible" that she and her publisher have for her world building and the comments like "I need this bible" "I would cause harm for this bible" idk if calling her scarce world building for acotar "bible" worthy however that language sure does account for the yt evangelism and fundamentalism in her books tho

#dont even start w the “shes jewish” yes. she is. but one of her parents is also catholic and she lives in america and is v obviously tied #strongly w her ytness especially considering shes a zionist #a court of thorns and roses #acotar #sjm critical

[1800naveen]

The white people of the ACOTAR fandom are odd. Like no offense to the ones that are chill but others need to chill. Those who think Feyre is in the right to fuck up the Spring Court are just ew. Imagine if someone destroyed your country with the idea of revenge in mind, multiple homes get destroyed in the process because war is on the horizon. You have to flee into other Courts so you can be safe and leave your original home behind, not knowing if you will ever come back because of what that person did. Sounds familiar?

What makes this even worse is that SJM is a zionist and what Israel is doing to Palestine is what Feyre did to the Spring Court. She can write her ideologies into her books and people can act like it's fine when it's not!

I'm a person of color, a black woman. Imagine how some black readers found out how A Court of Silver Flames was promoted. If you aren't aware, Sarah took the death of Breonna Taylor, a 26 year old African American woman who was fatally shot by a cop. It's STILL on her Instagram page, just keep scrolling until you find it.

BITCH YOU COULD'VE MAKE ANOTHER POST, ADDRESSING IT BUT NO. I LOVE NESTA BUT BROTHER UGH. The vibe of it is nice but...

The black community is always targeted when it comes to police brutality. This is one of the traumas in our community that we have to deal with, even in modern times where everyone is supposed to be "free". Have we not struggled enough?

It disgusts me that some authors (mainly white authors) will take the pain of a community and use it for their book(s). Or authors that can write a book with a character that will rise up to fight back against the oppressors and still support Israel.

Illyrians in ACOTAR are portrayed as violent, savages, and warmongers. They're apparently supposed to be POC codded, are you fucking kidding me? Is this supposed to be a diss towards brown and black people? Maybe even the indigenous? Feyre wears Illyrian wings like bitch, wear another type of wings. Her or Rhysand haven't done shit for Illyria and while the woman gets their wings clipped, Feyre can fly all she wants.

Imagine how Emerie will feel when she finds out.

Don't get me started on Feyre's hand tattoos. It might just be me but why is this white girl wearing that? Take that off bro. In this world, it's called Mehndi, the traditional art of painting your hands, feet, or the body with paste. In Arabic, what we call it is Henna. It's used in the Middle East, South Asia, and Africa. Like the designs are pretty but I don't want to see the human born, turned fae wearing it. TAKE IT OFF, WHITE GIRL. And another thing, why was Feyre acting like that towards the humans in ACOFAS? You forget where you came from, girlie pop but anyways.

Kendrick Lamar's song Euphoria is me towards the ACOTAR series and SJM. Sarah looks like a nice lady but she's fake as hell.

If you want to read SJM's books, try buying it from a used bookstore or somewhere online that doesn't connect to her. You can download PDFs or read them online.

It's crazy when I see a black person reading her books. On Tik Tok, I saw Jordan Fisher talking about how he's a fan like babes. I love him but...

Me when SJM fans (especially the black fans:
