my dislike for Feyre started when she went back to the Spring Court in ACOWAR and told them some made-up sob story about how horrible Rhysand was to her and insinuated that he committed horrible, ungodly crimes against her but then got mad when people believed her and was like “How DARE you think my mate is a horrible person 😡” like babe…let’s think a bit…
(also: i dont hate her, i just prefer pretty much everyone else over her at the moment lol)
"She's the High Lady of the Night Court; she can do what she wishes."
"You have always liked to spit on traditions, Rhysand."
How the conversation should have gone:
"She's the High Lady of the Night Court; she can do what she wish--"
"I don't give a damn about any of that Rhysand. Get out of my house, and take your war criminal with you."
He could also add: "And if I ever see you in this bitch again; it's on sight."
Does anyone else find the Night Court sooooo boring? Like, there's nothing interesting there, no courtly dynamics or anything, just some sexist Illyrians and sexist people in the Court of Nightmares as well, and the whole book is Rhysand throwing his weight around WHEN he feels like it but not doing shit about genuinely important issues (like sexism). Rhysand is smart supposedly, but I've never actually seen him use TACT in this series. He's so powerful that he doesn't need to or whatever. Blah blah blah, Night Court is the biggest and the baddest.
But the Autumn Court...
Cutthroat, beautiful. It has sons competing for power from an early age, through combat and courtly wiles. Only the strong survive. It produced a Lucien and an Eris, and their complicated brotherly relationship. You have a paranoid, abusive leader. You have the whole LoA + Helion affair, a love child. The man who abandoned his heritage to play courtier to another High Lord. Who is friends with two humans, one who is tied to an evil god. You have Eris, playing the perfect prodigal son while planning a coup right under his father's nose. Both are potential High Lords. You have Gwyn, a part water-nymph having Autumn heritage; we could explore how mixed High Fae are treated as well. Also, I want to know more about how Lucien learned to catch fish with his BARE HANDS???
Finish the line: Autumn court males have fire in their veins and...
The way I'd read an entire series on the Autumn Court 😩😩😩😩😩
The other day I finished book 3 in the acotar series and so far the second one is my favorite so I painted a scene from that book. I reimagined them as in those Korean drama scenes where she looks at the sky and says “wow so beautiful” and he agrees while looking only at her 🥴🥴
