FORESHADOWING IN ACOTAR YOU MAY HAVE MISSED

*Spoilers*

1. Feyre painted the night sky on her drawer in the cottage.

2. Feyre had heard of Rhysand long before she met him. She recalled hearing of “One High Fae that could turn your bones to dust from a hundred yards away.”

3. One of the first things Lucien says to Feyre is that her eyes “are like stars.”

4. When first arrived at the Spring Court, Feyre unknowingly dresses herself in Night Court colours. (A dark blue tunic, another tunic “one of purple so deep it could have been black.”)

5. When Lucien and Feyre encounter the Bogge, Feyre distracts herself by thinking of “a starry, unclouded night sky, peaceful and glittering and endless.”

6. Rhysand appears as a “shadow I could never quite glimpse” in Feyre’s nightmares before they met. “Behind me - a shadow lurked - no, watched. I didn’t dare turn to look at it, to see who might be within the shadows, observing.”

7. Amarantha appeared in Feyre’s nightmares before she knew of her, as a “A pale, faceless woman dragging her bloodred nails across my throat” - a nightmare of Rhysands perhaps?

8. When the Suriel told Feyre to “Stay with the High Lord”, it didn’t specify which High Lord.

9. When Tamlin takes Feyre to see the pool of starlight, she describes the setting filling her with “both longing and mirth…it just seemed…right.”

10. Despite only having heard and not seen the Attor, Feyre manages to paint its exact image “a tall, skeletally thin gray creature with bat ears and giant, membranous wings.” How would she have been able to do this? Possibly an image from someone else’s mind?

11. During Calanmai, Feyre disregards Tamlin’s order to stay in her room as “there was a string - a string tied to my gut that pulled me towards those hills, commanding me to go, to hear the faerie drums…” “but a wild wicked voice weaving in between the drumbeats whispered otherwise. Go, that voice said, tugging at me. Go see.”

12. The first thing Rhysand ever says to Feyre is “There you are, I’ve been looking for you” before telling the three lesser faeries, “Thank you for finding her for me.”

13. During Feysand’s first encounter, Feyre thinks to herself Rhysand’s words “were tinged with an arrogance that only an immortal could achieve” to which he “laughed under his breath” having heard the insult.

14. When Feyre first drinks faerie wine, she describes it as “like a million fireworks exploring inside of me, filling my veins with starlight.”

15. Still intoxicated she states she wants to swim in the night sky, “to bathe in its colours and feel the stars twinkling between my fingers.”

16. Tamlin and Feyre had their first kiss during the shortest night of the year.

17. Rhysand states “only my prisoners and my enemies call me (Rhysand).” It’s then interesting that Feyre refers to him as ‘Rhys’ in her POV in moments when she can see beneath his villain mask. (And EXTRA interesting when she refers to him as such during their first kiss.)

18. When Rhysand senses Tamlin and Lucien have hidden Feyre “a flicker of excitement - perhaps disbelief - flashed across his features.”

19. Rhysand was the only person Under the Mountain that bet on Feyre slaying the worm.

20. Feyre’s bargain tattoo is similar to the Illyrian tattoos that are given for luck and glory.

21. When Rhysand dressed Feyre under the mountain he crowned her with a “small golden diadem imbedded with lapis lazuli” - a stone that inspires confidence and is worn by royalty.

22. When Rhysand informs Amarantha of his bargain with Feyre, it’s also an act of defiance as he mentions the bargain is “for the rest of her life”, hinting he believes she will survive the remaining tasks.

23. Before the second trial, Rhysand dresses Feyre in a ‘blood orange’ gown - a colour symbolising good fortune.

24. During their first mind convo, Rhysand says “Good girl.” (Not a fact, just hot tbh.)

25. When Rhysand sends the music to her cell, she unknowingly imagines Velaris and “a palace in the sky of alabaster and moonstone, where all that was lovely dwelled in peace…everything I wanted was there - the one I loved was there-“

｡･:*˚:✧｡

House of Flame and Shadow Spoilers!

The screech I let out upon reading that one of Lidia’s sons name’s was Brannon!

As in Mala Fire-Bringer’s mate Brannon! As in the King of Terrasen Brannon! Father of Elena! Ancestor to Queen Aelin herself!!!

I was on the floor. And then Lidia unleashed her power and I almost blacked out. Because I KNOW THOSE FLAMES!

We might not have gotten to see Aelin but goddamn was I so happy to see her fire and all the nods to Erilea.

Brought tears to my eyes.

GUYS

CRESCENT CITY

IS THE FRENCH QUARTER IN NEW ORLEANS

The Underking, the reapers, the mausoleums/crypts, THE VIPER QUEEN—heavy voodoo motifs!!!! SJM even writes that they are somewhat close to the ocean and there are marshes near Crescent City. THE BAYOU?!?! THE GULF OF MEXICO?!?! Crescent City is the French Quarter and you can’t tell me otherwise.

SJM :: "It should be pretty clear who the next ACOTAR book is about when you read [ACOSF]."

🦇🌸 :: IT'S ELAINS BOOK NEXT! IT'S SO OBVIOUS!! Anyone who says different doesn't have any reading comprehension.

(NOT trying to be mean. Just what I've seen amongst different socials.)

SJM ::

Silver Flames

Azriel has a larger role than he's had thus far.

Azriel has a Bonus Chapter in his POV.

Sky and Breath

Azriel is the one to find and bring Bryce to the rest of our ACOTAR gang.

Azriel owning the dagger that is in the fae prophecy of the two blades in the Crescent City series.

(Minor House of Flame and Shadow Spoilers Below)

Flame and Shadow

Azriel has even a larger roll in just part one alone than even Silver Flames.

Azriel featured in TWO of HOFAS's Bonus Chapters. One of them with actual dialogue.

Azriel has a connection to Enalius.

Azriel lost Truth Teller when Bryce stole it to bring it to Midguard with her.

Now, I am not saying they're wrong, but if someone can calmly explain the evidence that points to the next book being Elains? Because from the looks of it? It's definitely going to be Azriels

.... loath as I am to admit. I don't like him..

Happy Father's day :)

I've always imagined Chaol and Yrene have a little girl. They name her Josie, after Yrene's mother Josefin of course, and she is a miniature version of her mother, which pleases Chaol to no end.

I could go on for days about them. I painted Chaol for Father's day already, but nobody ever draws them. So I will! (Plus, I like redrawing old art so I can see how much I have improved.)

Chaol and Yrene belong to SJM | Please do not repost my art without permission.

I know this sounds insane, but...

Danika Fendyr is the 7th Asteri, and quite literally, lives on inside of Bryce's heart.

SPOILERS FOR CC AND ACOTAR!

---

I have long since believed that when a character in the SJM universe dies, they are reincarnated into the next world.

The most solid proof of this is the Bone Carver. When he first meets Feyre, he asks her multiple questions about her death; whether she saw a "portal" into a new world, and if she was given a new "body."

Then in HOSAB, the concept of going somewhere else when you die is brought up several times.

For example, Bryce questions it:

And even the River Queen suggests that there is a new world after death:

This quote cements it further; the way for one's soul to travel in and out of the world, is through birth and death.

And, let's not forget Cassian's famous quote about finding Nesta in the "next world," and the "next life."

Yet most importantly of all, in the ACOTAR world, we witness Starfall. It is said to be souls migrating.

This is further backed up by CC2, when we learn that the Asteri have been stealing 'secondlight' (a term for people's souls), which aligns with Rhys's observations that the stars in Starfall have been dwindling in number's each year.

But, for the purpose of this theory, the most important point is this; everyone's soul is literally a STAR.

It's for this reason, that I believe everyone possesses a star in their chest; it is their SOUL.

So, what is Bryce's power then?

We are lead to believe that Bryce's power - the Starborn power - is a star in her chest. That's true, but I don't think it's the full picture.

If our souls are stars, then I believe that Bryce's power is simply being able to wield the light of her own soul. Essentially, Bryce can pull her soul out of her own chest.

As further proof of this, recall that the very first time we see Bryce use her Starborn power, it was said that a "lock" clicked open in Bryce's HEART and SOUL.

And I mean, look at Bryce's chest on the cover of HOEAB:

Queen Theia.

With this in mind, and knowing that reincarnation is highly likely; Aidas mentioning that Bryce and Theia's light is the same "hue," and that "Bryce's light is Theia's light" - is very interesting.

Again, if souls are indeed stars, and the star that Bryce wields is the same as Theia's - this suggests that their souls are one and the same. That Bryce literally possesses Theia's soul; she is her reincarnation.

There's a bunch of evidence to point to this being correct, but the most pointed is the HOSAB scene in the gym; Bryce has a feeling that she is falling through "time and space;" but that she wanted to stay in "this body," and "this place."

But, as insane as this sounds - I don't believe that Theia is the only soul inside of Bryce's chest. I think someone else is there too...

Danika Fendyr.

I have always suspected that Danika was also someone powerful, reborn again. This suspicion grew stronger when I realised that the "ancient alphabet" that Danika used to tattoo Bryce, was actually wyrdmarks.

However, it was this parallel that cemented it for me;

At the end of HOEAB, Bryce looks towards the Bone Quarter and can see the 6 members of the Pack of Devils. However, the 7th member, Danika, is now gone.

What does this sound like...?

The Asteri. 6 remaining, the 7th gone.

The 7th Asteri.

I believe that Danika was a reincarnation of the 7th Asteri - Sirius.

In real life, Sirius was often known as the "Morning Star."

What does the name "Danika" mean...?

Morning Star.

Further, recall that Bryce and Danika each traded their own souls to the Under King to save each other. I truly believe that when Danika died, her soul, or a part of it, *literally* lives on within Bryce's chest/heart.

And... this is HOW THEY DID THE DROP.

In HOEAB, it is stated that the Drop is the act of plummeting into your own soul;

Who does Bryce find when she does the Drop, right into her own chest (despite it being... impossible?)

DANIKA!

And, right before Bryce ascends back up, Danika says "even if you can't see me, I will always be with you."

Bryce then says, "she had never been alone, she never would be - NOT WITH DANIKA WITHIN HER HEART" !!

Although you may argue that this was merely just a figure of speech - I don't think it is.

Because, recall that when the Prime of the Wolves witnessed Bryce racing around to defeat the demons at the end of HOEAB, he said that "one wolf remained" in the Old Square. Sabine assumes that he must be mistaken; that he is instead registering Danika's sword that Bryce is holding. But, the Prime of the Wolves looks at Bryce, and then points to his HEART AND CHEST, and then calls Bryce a "TRUE WOLF."

And again, in the next book, the Prime once again calls Bryce a wolf, whilst pointing to his chest/heart.

But he's not referring to Bryce,

HE'S REFERRING TO DANIKA!

And, who was Sirius the Asteri known as?

THE WOLF STAR.

This explains why, after the Drop, Bryce seemingly inherited the *identical* power of the Asteri overnight (something I had already made a theory about - the resemblance was just uncanny).

It's because of DANIKA'S SOUL! (And likely also the Horn and the Synth; but, both were orchestrated by, you guessed it, DANIKA!)

This is why Jesiba told Bryce that she won't find any traces of Danika in the Bone Quarter; because her soul is literally within Bryce.

And, if you still don't believe it, then recall when Bryce found out that Baxian was Danika's mate. To present proof, Baxian revealed the tattoo Danika gave him; again, of the infamous words "through love, all is possible."

Bryce then says this - and the wording here is very important - the tattoo was "one last clue from Danika, to LOOK WHERE SHE'D STAMPED THE PHRASE."

Where had Danika put the tattoo?

ON HIS HEART!

"Through love, all is possible."

Through LOVE - through BRYCE'S HEART - the impossible has been made possible.

I think it was a literal clue; the heart and soul - where love resides - is where Danika has always been.

Interestingly, Baxian also tells us that Danika was trying to find a way into a "new world."

And where has Bryce just recently landed? Prythian. A new world.

The impossible, made possible.

Sirius and Orion.

I also believe that Hunt is the reincarnation, or possesses the soul of Thurr; who was a powerful God (that's for another theory post...). It's why Bryce says, countless times, that Hunt and Thurr look *identical.*

I am inclined to think that in some way, Thurr and Sirius, or Thurr and the wolves were connected; perhaps the wolves protected Thurr, or were his loyal servants.

Because that's exactly how the mythology around the Orion and Sirius constellations goes; Sirius was immortalised in the sky to keep watch, and guard Orion.

Perhaps it is not just Bryce that has been looking out for Hunt, but Danika too.

No but for real, the amount of stress and anxiety I have for Lidia Cervos post HOFAS is next level. She has spent all of her adult life as the Hind. She is infamous, her reputation is legendary. Her sons have lived underwater their entire life and they know who and what she is. We are told in HOSAB that even Archangels fear her. How is she just supposed to assimilate into normal life??? There are probably SO many people who fear and/or hate her, who lost family/friends to her, or Pollux, or the Asteri in general and want revenge. One of the most unrealistic parts of ACOTAR is that everyone was so quick and willing to accept and trust Rhysand after a 50 year reign of terror service to Amarantha. I guess if SJM takes that route with Lidia, I have nothing to worry about??? I would just find that entirely unrealistic. People's opinions do not change about something like that overnight. And I'm just. . .so worried for her. I so desperately want her to be able to live the happy and normal life she's never gotten to live but I don't see how it's going to be possible without some REALLY difficult times ahead.

Have I caved and read the Walmart Bonus Chapter when it popped up on my TikTok FYP?

.......

Yes.

BUT THATS THE ONLY THING I HAVE READ. SO DO NOT SPOIL ME FURTHER PLEASE!

That being said, I just... I need to talk about something. So yeah.

For this and all my future HOFAS posts the following tags, so block them accordingly #HoFaS #HoFaS Spoilers #House of Flame and Shadow #House of Flame and Shadow Spoilers #Bryce Quinlan #Hunt Athalar #Quinlar Spoilers #Sarah J Maas #SJM Spoilers(even if the post does not include Bryce, Hunt or Quinlar. Simply because they are the main characters/main ship of the series is all) I am not going to use each character name because, well, I jus know I'll forget one.

HOFAS WALMART BONUS CHAPTER

SPOILER WARNING

As soon as the second you click the Keep Reading button. So you have been warned.

There WILL be a photo snippet from the chapter. I mean it. Click that button, and there will be a spoiler.

It also includes a small screenshot from another books Bonus Chapter.

Flame & Shadow: Walmart Bonus

Bryce asked Nesta, "You have a mate right?" She nodded to Azriel. "Do you?"

"No." Azriel said quickly, flatly.

"A partner or spouse?"

"No."

Bryce sighed. "Okay, then."

Silver Flames: Azriel Bonus

Rhysand blinked. "What of Mor, Az?"

Azriel ignored the question. "The Cauldron chose three sisters. Tell me how it's possible that my two brothers are with two of those sisters, yet the third was given to another." He had never dared speak the words aloud.

My Thoughts

The e/riels who so badly want the mating bond between Elain and Lucien to be fake and Elain to really be mated with Azriel is not going to happen.

The e/riels who so badly want Elain to have Azriel as a mate also(you know, the multiple mate theory), but he's her TRUE mate, is not going to happen.

Now, as for Azriel saying he does not have a mate in the HOFAS Walmart Bonus Chapter. THERE IS A CHANCE that Gwyn IS his mate, and he does not know it yet. So his answer would not be a lie. We have not seen the "Mates who don't know they're mates." yet.

But this is TWICE now that Azriel has out loud said, that there is NO mate bond between He and Elain.

But I just know that there will be e/riels who continue on with the 'Multiple Mates' theory until Sarah finally confirms who the next book is about(unless she pulls a fast one on us and the next ones about Mor and Emerie.. could you imagine? Going even LONGER in these ship wars?)

And for those of you who believe there IS such a thing as 'Multiple Mates' allow me to redirect you to my post, The Multiple Mate Theory, and why its BULLSHIT.

Anyway, there's also the fact that Azriel states that there he has 'No partner or spouse.' I mean, He, Nesta, and Bryce are in some Cave tunnels, and it's made clear throughout this bonus chapter that Bryce is their captive. So what would hold him back from, okay? Maybe he wouldn't say a name, but if he were in a relationship, why not say a simple 'yes' ??

I know they're gonna warp this piece of the chapter somehow, but I just don't know how they're gonna do it.

This post is super rambly of me. But what I'm really saying is this is the SECOND time we see Azriels 'love life' brought up, and again, it's confirmed by Azriel that(at least Elain) is NOT his mate. No matter WHAT they say.

Still a chance for a "Neither of them know their mates" for Gwynriel though.

The biggest evidence of Gwyn being Azriel’s mate is, IMO, a single line:

“A thing of secret, lovely beauty.”

This is the last line in the Azriel bonus chapter in ACOSF. He is describing Gwyn’s joy upon seeing the necklace. Set aside the fact that it was regifted, that he just “wanted” Elain not 5 minutes earlier, and think:

Azriel pined for Mor for five hundred years. In the books, Mor is described just as Rhys is: outwardly, unbelievably beautiful.

Azriel yearned for Elain, to taste her, have her, much in the same way. And like Mor, Elain is described as outwardly beautiful. Even Feyre says she’s always been known as the most beautiful sister.

Azriel feels that he is not beautiful. He is full of scars and shadows. He is attracted to the thing he wants most, the thing he feels he’ll never have: beauty. And both Mor and Elain are essentially beauty personified.

But here’s the thing… Azriel needs to accept himself first. Even Mor said, at one point, that the problem wouldn’t be her if they were to get together. It would be him, because he doesn’t feel deserving of anyone. And perhaps when he finally does, he will see what’s right in front of his eyes; that beauty can mean many things. That there’s something to be said about beauty hidden deep within. That perhaps another person—someone who isn’t considered punch-you-in-the-face exquisite, but is beautiful all the same—might help him see that.

Two people of secret, lovely beauty. 💜

SPOILERS HOFAS

Okay, am I the only one who thinks that Aidas was the Bone Carver?

Like he said to Feyre, that he was in love with a girl whom died and her heritage power would be somewhere else, right? And he disguises himself all the time cus he's ugly belzebub, right?

And now that we know that ACOTAR and CC are connected by sisters (Silene in Prythian and Helena in Midgard), did he think that Feyre was a starborn or he was there because he thought Hybern's true goal was to awake the Sleeping beauty Asteri, since they had the Crlt+Alt+Del (Cauldron)?

I mean, he did say he had other siblings around worlds, some helping on preventing the Asteri, some being shitty moth3fuck3rs, which explains Stryga and Koschei, so...

Plus

How did Lidia (a confirmed Galathynius) get Rowan's wedding ring as family heirloom? Who opened up the gates again? Does she know that Aelin happened at all? She only commented about Brannon in her monolog. Did her father's family leave before Elena's stupidity (War/Eye of Elena Era)?

(Plus, why is always an Helena/Elena

ruining the party?)

Urd, Wyrd, and Mother being the same thing is painful. Azriel did say that they believe that, when unalived, the soul would go to Mother and then to other world. If Gmail confirms it, who is who?

Please, let's brainstorm together ❤️

ISO RuhnLidia Fanfic

The specifics are the spoilers.

Can someone point me in the direction of Mum Lidia/Step-Dad Ruhn fanfic that does feature Brann and Ace? Please?

The first week after a release is always the worst cause I need these fics, and I can never find any.
