providing some scenes from my illyrian oc ( mira ) fic, with some snippets of neris, and etc, lemme know what you all think <33 🫶

NERIS:

She inclined her head, eyes scrutinising as they skimmed over Eris. Nesta marked the heir's taut shoulders, the curl of his lip and the unease of his posture: as Mira assumed she had long learnt to do to predict one's next move. As if Nesta regarded this ruined moment as a diplomatic minefield, especially as the High Lord placed those mines with the intent to control the situation without implementing bared threats of power. It was a lethal strategy, if executed correctly, and only if the players you were against didn't know how to play the game better than you.

Nesta and Eris certainly could.

"Take a seat, Eris Vanserra," Nesta greeted, practised tongue monotonous, and gilded with firm grace. "The High Lady and Lord will become present when they have completed preparations."

MIRA & FEYRE:

The words dripped from her tongue easily, like she hadn't held that dam of unspoken thoughts sturdy as they formed gleaned blades of their own, cutting through their ties effortlessly. They sent ripples through the serene, still atmosphere.

"Tell me, High Lady. Do you know of our culture, of us as a people, beyond the words of the High Lord?"

Mira watched Feyre as the words stirred the features on the lady's face, and then as one tattooed hand clutched the other.

Evidently not, Mira thought. The High Lord and his cousin, Morrigan, had been the sole connection that Feyre had in the Night Court when she vanished from Spring. Their word on the court had become hers. She hadn't been allowed to venture on her own, learn her own friends, make her own decisions that didn't have to benefit Rhysand solely.

She flicked her eyes to the band on Feyre's ring finger.

She tucked her wings into her back, ignoring the agony lancing across her spine. "I did not say those words to criticise you, Feyre Archeron. But do learn about the people, we are not barbaric, as the Morrigan likes to screech to the world. You claim Cassian and Rhysand, the latter I do not agree with, are not barbaric. Apply that logic to us as a people before you nod to every word spoon-fed to you."

MIRA & CASSIAN:

But who would come into this kitchen, and call her home? Not flinch when she doesn't speak and hold silences, and instead sit at that kitchen table, and hold eye contact?

The man she was the wife to? Her husband?

It would only be him. No one else could sit on those backless chairs and use their own spine to hold themselves straight, not in this kitchen.

Only him. And if it was only him and he didn't sit, he'd stand opposite her, or beside her.

excuse the tangent. but i love her/them your honour. <3

The most disturbing things portrayed in ACOTAR

Victim-blaming: Lucien tries to help Feyre and gets physically abused by Tamlin as a result. Feyre then proceeds to call him a dog despite Lucien doing everything he could in a difficult situation. And we're supposed to...support Feyre on this? And Rhysand throws around words like "can never forgive" man stfu you prick.

Sexual Assault: The most disturbing thing is not that Rhysand sexually assaulted Feyre. It's that he's never held accountable for this and never even apologizes at ANY point in the series. There are so many examples but this is the one that is the most disturbing.

Double Standards: We have Tamlin locking Feyre up for her own good being vilified, yet Rhysand is championed for locking Lucien and Nesta up in houses for their own good. Huh? WTF.

War Crimes: What Feyre did to the Spring Court, manipulating the sentries with the whole Ianthe thing and basically getting them killed, then weakening the Spring Court rulership which resulted in all those villagers in the Spring Court getting killed, then laying the Summer Court bare to Hybern as well, are nothing short of war crimes. And...instead of feeling regret, we have the main characters saying "Hybern's actions are their own." Like bitch what? Hybern wouldn't have been able to do shit if it wasn't for you! Have some damn accountability! And the fact that Tamlin and Tarquin are vilified for this never ceases to irk me.

Grooming: Rhysand groomed Feyre. He made excuses for everything he did with trauma, then sent Feyre out to do tasks for him like she's some kind of weapon he can use. WITHOUT giving her proper information, there is no choice. And everything he does is constantly explained away, until eventually Feyre becomes his trophy wife. Rhysand basically assigns Cassian to do the same for Nesta. I'm holding out hope that Elain will be saved from the Night Court.

The pregnancy debacle: the whole thing with the baby having wings and Rhysand withholding information from Feyre is just...disturbing. Idc if you're not telling her FoR hEr OwN gOoD, it is HER life at stake and she deserves to know. They didn't even try to shapeshift her to try and save her life? Like why is everybody seemingly more concerned about the baby than the mother? Disgusting. And why is Nesta vilified for being the only one to tell Feyre? She said it to hurt her, blah blah blah. She also wanted to show Feyre that their situations are similar. That they're BOTH being shit on by the Night Court. And when she's close to a breaking point...Nesta is forced to hike a mountain? That is physical abuse. Also, Rhysand being extremely territorial putting a shield over her and barely letting Feyre go anywhere is beyond weird.

Suicide baiting: What Rhysand did to Tamlin in ACOFAS is nothing short of suicide baiting. And...only Lucien seems to really be that concerned about it? Like...are you telling me I'm supposed to be supporting Rhysand after he basically told a depressed male to kill himself?

Segregation: Separating the Hewn City from Velaris IS segregation, no matter what excuse you try to come up with. You can't claim they're all shitty people, since your bestie Mor comes from the CoN. So, there are good people stuck in the CoN unable to get out of their torment because Rhysand decided that only certain individuals are allowed in Velaris.

Performance Feminism: Establishing laws to help women and not doing shit to enforce them is performance feminism. If he's as powerful as he says, he can 100% stop wing-cutting and r*pe. But, he's a goddamn virtue signaler so he doesn't fucking care. The thing is, SJM could've handled these topics in a much better way and it would've been fine. But she completely fucked shit up here and it's crazy that some people don't see it. Part of me is still waiting for the final book where she says, psych rhysand was the villain the whole time. If so, I'll take everything back.

people are calling what happened today in gaza “the flour massacre”

the flour massacre

these people just wanted to get food for their families, something as basic as flour, one of the things that the very core of humanity is built on, and israel used it as a trap to murder them in cold blood

evil is not enough of a word. there is not a word to describe what they are doing to palestine. they are bleeding her out, they are torturing her and crushing her and hoping that nothing is left to remember her by when they are done. how can anyone stand and watch what is being done with indifference? how can you watch this level of human suffering, this crime against life and feel nothing, do nothing

#palestine #free palestine #gaza

[wiltingcrowns]

So we’re all just going to ignore what a MASSIVE plot hole it is that mate bonds are supposedly exclusively about creating the strongest offspring in some weird Darwinian way and yet Nesta was mated to a man whose baby would literally kill her being born if she hadn’t like stopped time and space with a long lost ukelele and spirit Halloween mask?

I just … make that horrific pregnancy storyline make sense I’m literally begging.

[wiltingcrowns]

Rafah? As in the "Evacuate here, it's a safe spot while we bomb the rest of Palestine" Rafah? The Rafah that most of the remaining Palestinians have been forcibly packed into as a supposed safe zone? That Rafah?

How people can still deny a genocide is beyond me

#palestine #free gaza #free palestine

[wiltingcrowns]

Rafah

Just so all you pro-genocide zionists know. Israel is now bombing the one "safe place" left in Palestine, Rafah. They claimed they'd give time for Palestinians to flee, but guess what they didn't do? Give time to flee. Rafah was the place Palestinians were told to evacuate to and now even that isn't safe. There is literally nowhere left to go. Also this isn't about hamas because they're bombing residential housing and masjids.
