Neon a question: what genres of music/artists do you think Joe would vibe with?
i think joe is just generally a Music Fan. he has the most eclectic music taste you've ever heard. he'll play classical and edm and hiphop and folk and heavy metal all in a row and give you genre whiplash but enjoy it all equally. in all seriousness tho i think he just loves that music is so accessible now (he wouldn't have been able to listen to this much for so long!! nicky bought him a walkman when they first became a thing and joe carried it with him pretty much everywhere for about a month until it was damaged during a mission). in their safehouses they have various different selections of cds/cassettes/vinyls depending on what kind of player they have. if not joe has a couple ipods dotted around. he just likes music a lot
that being said i think joe likes blends of folk/traditional music or instruments with modern technology + styles especially, because he likes hearing how music grows and develops and how the instruments and styles he's heard for centuries are built on and adapted. (personal favourite examples are release by afro celt sound system which is a neat blend of electronic/celtic/african music and it slaps, literally any mashrou' leila song but especially taxi, shum by go_a and stefania by kalush orchestra. additionally kai tangata by alien weaponry for the maori metal which barely qualifies as an example but its cool and i'm on a roll.) hes also a big queen fan
i cant come up with an actual list because it will be heavily skewed towards me specifically (as a general Music Enjoyer). but yeah joe and music is important to me. i also think he's a big fan of any kind of love songs even the sappiest most terrible one you've heard in your life. he thinks theyre neat
#neon answers#spacegirlsgang#obligatory i know ive had this ask forever oops#anyway. i know i brought up mashrou leila but it was impossible not to i think joe would vibe with it. also i just think they're neat. i#know i'm projecting here but thats ok#joes actual favourite musician is nicky <3#nicky i think has a slightly more specific music taste. hes very old man about it. also a Vinyl Guy whereas joe doesnt care what media the#music is on as long as he can listen to it#nile very much likes more modern stuff but there are some classical pieces she absolutely loves#andy will listen to anything with a beat. she's not a slow songs kind of person she needs to be able to hear the drums#she's less of a recorded music person but she does love communal playing#booker is similar to nicky in a way. i think he likes 30s/40s/50s stuff generally but does like some modern things. also a Vinyl Guy#anyway. i like music a lot#the aforementioned afro celt sound system song is really interesting musically. theres cool stuff in there#addition: andy tends to prefer the more upbeat stuff you can move to. not as big of a fan of slow songs but she likes a few#anyway if you want Weird Song Recs or recs in a specific language. i have many#/ specific genre. again i have many#neon talks music#i WILL namedrop meteor airlines tho for the contemporary amazigh stuff. it's awesome. think joe would like it#there's not many english songs / artists named but i do think joe would be a hozier or mika enjoyer. again projecting#anyway in short: please always ask me about music i love talking about it

does anybody else feel differently about their gender in different languages? bc i do and it's making figuring all this out a bit more difficult............
#ok so. in english im cool w being a guy a man a dude a whatever masculine term you can think off#being called sir or mister and having ppl use he for me feels right#like yeah sure i still feel like a guy but a little bit to the left but it's such a little bit that i feel like it doesnt rly matter#but then we get to fucking german.#and all those wonderfully gendered terms like herr and sohn and er and bruder and mann just feel like Too Much#and idk if it feels like too much in a this is mostly internalized bs way or in a this is smth i should look into more way#w german it's like i dont like the masculine terms but i still hate feminine terms wayyy more so. hm.#and every gender neutral option in german just sounds Wrong to me like all the nonbinary pronouns feel bad to me#like it's cool that they exist but thinking abt using them for me is just very no. but w english id be cool with they too.....#oh and with spanish i fucking love the way you make spanish words gender neutral!#but ofc spanish is the language where i feel most comfortable w every masculine word and adjective form!!#like yes pls do call me hermano or señor or whatevet#and it's like what the actual fuck am i supposed to do with all this.#why am i the most nonbinary in the language that is the most gendered with the least alternatives that i like??#like idk i wanna use they/them but only in german fkdgdjdg but german doesnt have any version of they/them that i like#and it feels like any sort of experimenting w gender i do here wont rly matter#bc in the end it wont help me with figuring anything out in german 🙃#if anyone actually reads this. help me pls lol

watching so much critical role and dimension 20 and the like has really got me thinking about the different accents displayed by npcs and pcs as well to a lesser extent and how theyre all p much european and north american ones
like it makes sense of course bc it white people doing impression of foreign accents is still a pretty common racist joke so there are a lot of accents where it'd be really easy to fuck up and sound pretty offensive but at the same time it feels strange that these giant worlds are populated solely by people who sound european/north american, like there are so many beautiful and varied accents throughout the world but the majority of the characters in these shows speak with a generic fantasy english accent
I don't know, it's a topic I'd be interested in seeing in depth discussions on by people that actually know what they're talking about, but idk if those discussions exist online somewhere already and if they do how to actually find them

i really want to know why some people really want to pity the people they supposedly “admire”
#like why is it 🧐🧐🧐🧐🧐🧐#It makes me uncomfy#Bc when i admire someone i feel like they are so cool and want them to see me as equal#but never crossed my mind to pity them for the hardships they might have endure.#dont wanna sound like i hace a superiority conplex but it’s longing in social media and see these type of behavior#It’s like another reality.#watching people doing mental gymnastic to create an scenario where the person they admire is SUFFERING and so they can be#like ‘they must feel so awful. They must be so sad 🥺🥺🥺’ like shut the fuck up#have u asked ????? how do you know ????? Even if that was the case you think they want your pity ?????#to see this person over your shoulder like that ………..#Oof bro i could talk like this for hours bc i hate pity#i dont like people pitying me in any way#i saw people pitying jisoo over the stupidest things like for bc she doesnt know english like BRO 🔪🔪🔪#also the other day i saw ppl on quackity’s fandom assuming he was suffering for another dumb shit#He had to say he didnt care bc people were blaming his friends 💀#And then all of this reminds me of louis tomlinson as well#Idk how louis’ fandom is rn but hell back then they just loved to create scenarios where he is the victim so they can pity him even though#he said he doesnt like people pity him 💀#like in which minddddddd do you want to pity the people you say you admire ????#is it like an inferiority complex ???? So that instead of working hard on yourself to feel like an equal to THEM u want to pity them so tha#they can be YOUR equal ??#Am i reaching rn ? Probably but still.#im really curious as to why there are people like this in this world. They def need some help.#what was la gota que derramó el vaso u might ask ……#well i was in youtube shorts and people in the comments were pitying jisoo once again 🤡 so i had to come here and get it out#now im leaving

come to the conclusion that I should go to the dentist so I will be spending the next month or so building up the courage to mention it to my mum and then figure out where to go and how imma pay for it
#natchats#last night i had a break down about it#now im in an acceptance phase#ive looked up prices for stuff#and HOPEFULLY#i wont have to pay more than 65ish quid#unless i need multiple things done#like its 65 if you need one root canal but what if ylu need two? does it cover two?#i actually dont know what imma need#but ive noticed some not so fun things since i started flossing so im expecting to need Something#and if i prepare to need Something then I'll be more ready if it does happen and if it doesnt then cool#mentioning it to my mum is also a big thing bc then its Real yknow#i wish past me didnt refuse to go#like when i was 15/16 my mum was trying to get me to go and i was likebyou literally cant make me#and i haven't been since#so#🙃🙃🙃🙃#i hope this doesnt sound offensive bc i dont mean it to be but one lf the things that scares mr#me#ablut the dentist is when the dentist isnt english anf they have an accent and bc of their mask i cant see them talk and i cant understand#them and it makes me so stressed#like them talking to me with a mask on is already stressful but that coupled with a spanish accent lr some shit oh i want to kill myself#its just so awkward#i also dont know if i'll make my mum go with me#my mum being there half the time reverts me back to beijg a kid#but also if i do have a dentist i cant understand and my mum isnt tjere to jelp me that will be really bad for me#I'll probs try and make her come the first time#im literally nearly 23 this is so embarrassing

last thursday when i was at this activity house place for mentally ill ppl, i expected to just sit there for one hour and read. at most i only expected to talk a bit with the the guy responsible for the youth group, but after 5 mins when he was in another room, a girl came in. and she started talking to me ㅠㅠ i managed quite well to keep up with the conversation and actually participate lol. when he came back and talked to her i just started reading. but i just felt like i just had to say smth, so i asked her to continue talk abt the fifth harmony fanfic she was telling me abt before the interruption. im so glad i could even do that, bc we talked for quite long. almost an hour.
she even asked me if we should switch numbers so i could tell her what i think abt that fanfic!! i like died inside bc i was both surprised that she wanted my number :o and anxious bc that means i need to be more social and that makes me anxious. anyway there was a few times when i felt kinda stupid and just rambled on without making any sense, but i feel like i managed to not come off too weird. i mean she asked for my number and you wouldn't do that if you were annoyed with someone... right?? anyway she was so nice and cool and i didn't realize this until after, but when we were talking i just forgot abt everyone else in the room. like i legit forgot that there were 3 other ppl there bc everything fell away. a bit scary tbh o_o
but yeah, she messaged me later and after 3 hours i managed to force myself to reply. then we texted for 40 minutes. but then i feel like i suddenly couldnt keep up anymore and i feel like i might've said the wrong thing bc she just liked my text and then we havent texted after that.. and im like actually not right in the head bc i've been thinking abt her every day since thursday. i wanna text her so bad but im extremely insecure and im scared im just annoying or like it's weird to text her again. im that kinda socially awkward that i'll just ask her what her fav color is ㅠㅠ omg idk what to do i keep thinking abt her and i wanna talk to her so bad....

was thinking the other day about how people's reasons for saying that klavier is only fake german seem to be that he only went to germany to get his badge, his german speaking is clearly only a gimmick, and that in the japanese original, he is more explicitly a japanese guy who went to america once and made it his whole personality. which i understand! however, what makes me laugh about this is that everyone seems to have accepted that manfred von karma is totally german.
so, if i may.....
manfred von karma does not speak german in canon ever.
his name sounds fake. like sorry. but it does. "manfred" doesnt sound fake, no, but "von karma"??? NOBODY here is called von karma. ive met one extremely unfortunate person in my life who actually still had a "von" name, but that was when i went to a terrible private school in paris. and his name sure as shit wasnt von karma. "von karma" as a name sounds JUST as fake as "klavier"
sure, franziska was "born and raised" in germany, so she's likely to be a german citizen, but that doesn't mean that manfred was born or raised there. manfred was in the states at least long enough to build up a reputation there and to battle it out with greg edgeworth (gredgeworth)
and, most importantly: in the japanese original, the von karmas do not have english/american names. they have japanese names. sure, "karuma" COULD have been an adaptation of a western name after moving to japan, but that's not made explicit anywhere, plus the whole sword thing in dgs (u know the one) heavily implies that theyre a japanese family
what i am saying is.
what if...... what if manfred von karma is faking being german...... what if manfred von karma is the one who took on a fake german name because he thought a scary sounding nobility title would make him look cool in court. what if we have been focusing on the wrong gimmick german this whole time

as i was awake in the middle of the night for like 2 hours bc i felt sick i had more somewhat random totk thoughts
one being that i really hate how raurus response to concerned zelda is, after sonia died in that almost funny how little impactful it was way, "im sure you are here for a reason" (actually, i hate how often this sentence is used in general to .. idk i guess its supposed to be inspiritational???)
bc what does that mean actually? him saying that to someone who got there absolutely by accident really just sounds like "i dont care go figure it out yourself bc i dont want to think about anything concerning you or your troubles lol" i guess its meant to sound like OOOOH fate has BROUGHT you here bc you have to furfill a role you dont know yet (spoiler its being a sacrifice girl with no personality) and besides me hating the 'inescapable fate' trope in general (at least the way its usually done in these games, which is not to struggle against it but willingly accept whatever you are told and pretend thats good) its really jsut goddamn boring and is really only an excuse to well .. ignore her and her trouble; shouldnt you, if you were actually such a cool guy like the game wants me to believe so bad, do everything in your power to get zelda back to her own world before shes pulled even further into the war you caused now that her only ""mentor"" that could help her get more use of her pretty much useless sudden powers is gone too?? i know shes basically dead wife sonia replacement (can of worms ugh) but it still grinds my gears whenever i think of that cutscene, bc i cant help but hear it as the lamest excuse in existence to not care about her and just kinda .. see what happens which in this case means leave zelda completely on her her own since both rauru and mineru die as well (honestly shouldnt rauru have thought about like .. any plan to defeat gan besides dying himself, given hes the oh so cool and goodest guy king whos only mistake was not stabbing gan the second he stepped into their kathedral castle thing, like even if you had a plan it can still fail but it seemed like he just kinda went in with a handful of people that didnt seem to know each other at all, never got names or faces -or unique voices for that matter- to fight gan face to face inlcuding the girl that came from a different time and had nothing to do with any of this conflict and couldnt even really control her sudden new powers just seems pretty stupid)
thought 2
how totk really feels like botw but for the people who didnt like shiekah tech, its not a sequel, its botw again, but version of only sonau, its like a pokemon game that had two versions but one has weirdly incoherent story and acts like the other never existed jsut as a whole its like retreading the same points but worse, all shiekah tech that was so integral to the world and had such a long history just vanishing and no one caring about any of it like it never happened, HELL the titans were called divine beasts in english but i guess they werent divine or important enough to keep around LOL champions WHO and isntead a never before seen or even heard of race for that matter showing up and planting their ass in every place the shiekah were before, dare i say it feels weirdly manipulative, like either them or some outside force erasing every fact about the ancient shiekah and replace them with sonau stuff bc they are the hot new shit now
this is a point that just doesnt stop bothering me, how the shiekah tech seemed so carefully designed and integrated into botws world and story, its a difficult to keep balance after all, integrating high tech stuff into a medieval setting, but they made it work! and then totk comes around and throws a bunch modern day tech into it puts some vague greenish stone filter on its exterior and call that even better more ancient tech; why did they even bother to make pottery inspired laser shooting spider legged robots so well integrated when they throw a car and rockets into the next game without a thought and call it a day, what was the fucking point
it feels like someone was dead set on having a set of legos thrown into the game it had no place in, if you want players to build whatever they want make a building game instead!! especially if you are just gonna throw it in with seemingly no consideration how out of place it feels togehter with the fACT THAT YOU ALREADY HAD AND ANCIENT HIGH TECH CIVILIZATION WITH A VERY DISTINCT AESTHETIC THAT WAS ALREADY WELL INTEGRATED INTO THE WORLD YOU ARE PLANNING TO REUSE WITH ALOT OF MYSTERY AND UNKOWN STUFF ABOUT THEM TO EXPLORE FURTHER YOU COULD HAVE USED!! but i guess they just "didnt want to play with you anymore" and that so much so that they went out of their way to erase every trace of it, i dont think the words shiekah tech are ever used in the game, and the purah pad and her towers just drive me more isnane bc they are the same shit but called different and also much worse, liek the purah pad isnt some more developed shiekah stone, no its a glorified camera with a teleport function and thats it
(i know i said this before but i really cant stand how obsessed every single NPC is with sonau shit, you get told to your face every second line of dialog that they are so cool and are so mysterious that it just makes me annoyed of them even more, the game is obsessed with shoving them everywhere and telling you over and over you too should obsess over them, they werent weird like that about the shiekah stuff in botw?? the biggesst talking point in botw was calamity ganon ..... which makes sense and in totk its like ... gan is mentioned what, in a newspaper article??? once???and then not even by name i think???)
aside from that big point which will never let me go, its also just .. its not moving forward anything, it actively walks BACK the progress that was made in botw, call me dumb but i dont really count moving one step up in the social roles of each race as a character development (for the side characters like the champions desc- ahem SAGES) but mainly zelda ... god how dirty she was done, totk pretty explicitely makes her regress any development she made in botw aside from she likes link uwu and some people like her too, but also not enough to notice that that weird zelda being all evil and weird isnt her (INLCUDING THE CHAMP- SAGES WHO YOU ARE SUPPOSEDLY FRIENDS WITH??? you dont have to be a genius to pick up on that my god, were you all given the mc dumbo potion or what)
she gets put back to square one, back into the little itty bitty princessy maiden role forced upon her by her royal parentage, this time rauru edition, back into a white little dress, back into the scared puppy eyed teenager, back into a situation she cant handle, back into losing everyone around her (tho honestly botw made me care more about rhoam than totk did about rauru), back into being forced to do a big sacrifice- but worse actually
in botw she went to FIGHT AND HOLD GANON IN THE CASTLE SO LINK HAD TIME TO RECOVER AND IT WOULDNT DESTROY THE LAND!! and you are telling me in totk rauru takes up her botw role and she bascially killed herself to ... restore the mastersword.
......... she ... she did that only to be a glorified version of the stone pedestal in the forest. and then she gets returned to normal itty bitty girly no problem via magic sparkle beam at the end and
DOESNT
EVEN
REMEMBER.
it really is just botw but worse, you even get yet another ghost king of hyrule to guide you around (rhoam did it better fight me ... we dont talk about the questionable choice to make himself darker skinned when posing as just some guy)
i honestly dont think i was ever truly taken aback by anythign that happened in botw, while in totk, the further i played, the more i had to fight with myself to keep the feeling of unease, disappointment and betrayal down
its such a god damn shame, totk should have stayed a DLC, i will forever mournfully dream of a game that explores more of the ancient shiekah, doesnt erase integral parts of the world, developes characters more instead of making them regress back and make them end up even less developed than at the start of the game, dives into buried secrets and mistakes of dark pages of history without giving into a weirldy nationalist(imperalisitc?) narrative and lets characters have some agency for once
if it werent for the yiga i might have actually considered refunding the game, just to be at peace with myself
anyway, aboslutely incoherent word vomit.

Hey umm are you still doing people requests? Umm can i request about Billy lenz,michael myers,the sinclair brothers,and Jason with a bassist s/o? i mean like s/o can play a bass or a guitar!! like that, im sorry if its too hard for you and sorry for my bad english
Im still doing requests!! And I will for long while! I never played any indtrument but I did my best. Also your English is great! (And sorry for long wait) Request open
Slashers with guitarist s/o
Billy Lenz
Lisening to gossip and drama all day might sound cool, but it isn't lol. Imagine sitting in attic and the only things you can hear is some girls talking shit 24/7
So yeah when he hears music he is more than intrested
This guy never was huge music fan but oh boi its good to hear something new
Gonna sneak into s/o room and play with guitar 100%
If s/o is a professional player and has some sort of medals/rewards im sure he gonna steal some frf
Micheal myers
Guy was in hospital for 30years i doubt he heard anyone play in real life. Maybe in radio or guard himming but omg its been long time since he saw somone do it irl
My guy is gonna stalk the hell out of them
When they are in relationship He gonna just grab guitar and bring it to them and stare. He wanna hear you play so much😭😭
Doesnt understand that most guitars aren't made out of super strong materials and he probably step on it few times or trow it at them for no reason. So they either have to buy new ones or scod him so much he never goes near that thing again
Vincent
He just gonna sit there awkwardly, enjoying the music😊😊
Loves it!
Wants s/o to teach him! He is a fast learner! Pls!!
Will beg them to play his favourite songs (dude looks like my chemical romance fan)
If s/o plays some slow calm songs he will acually fall asleep to it
Bo sinclair
Hes not big music fan tbh
Guy will say "oh? Cool cool" and move with his life
But he likes to have backround noise when he does stuff so he won't mind them just vibing with guitar while he does he work
After a while it kinda gets in his routine to lisen them play so he might acually come around once or twice asking them to continue
Lester Sinclair
Omg THE VIBE
Imagine IMAGINE JUST driving on empty road in Forest, great vibes, and nice guitar. Man it sounds amazing!
He gonna sing to it frfr. Does he know what theyare playing? No. Does it stop him from singing some random lyrics? No
Will tell them all complements in the word. That he never heard such amazing play or that he could fall in love with them again if he could ect ect idc
He gonna flex to bo and vince. Like: watch this yo shes soo good with that guitar
Jason Voorhees
I can imagine how they met really
S/o just trying to vibe on trip, having casual walk in Forest, they decide to have lil break and sit down and maybe play a little. And this precious bean hears it and is soso curious and he just ends up standing behind them lisening to them play for like good 10minutes untill they either see him and evaluate or just leave without even noticing
Pls this guy doenst even care about killing at this point, pls play more rn!!!! Please?
I can see this guy accidenlty kidnapping them and just giving them guitar and probably panicking as much as them tbh😭😭😭
But the best vibe is when s/o and Jason just sit next to campfire and vibe. He plays with their hair/makes flower crowns while they play guitar

I made something to store my notes and endings for the game I was able to find most of these on my own, except for how to acess true ending and 2 other notes. it took me a VERY long time of putting in names to see if there would be any reaction, i was really hoping setting the nickname to "love bug" would have a interaction considering how Milo doesnt like bugs. I noticed in the true ending that there was a red light flickering in the top, I tried clicking it and it did nothing, does it hold any significance? i think it could be morse code but im not too sure. Simply cannot overstate how much I love this game, ive replayed it many times so far, i never played a visual novel before except for john Doe. I also never used tumblr but decided to just say how much I love your game! this is a masterpiece, good job on the sounds and music throughout it all, also, sorry if there are any grammar mistakes, english isnt my mother tongue. Love from portugal!! :)
Whoa?? That’s amazing?? I’ve looked at this list a couple of times after receiving this ask and I’m still in shock and awe that there are a lot of you guys who are willing to put in the time and effort to make lists and charts for my game.
Love bug is actually such a cute nickname that I’ll probably add it to the update as an Easter egg. Milo does respond to some other bug nicknames like moth and firefly though that is mostly because they’re tied with some of the yandere vn Easter eggs that you can get if you rename Eris after a yandere in one of those games. Thinking in on this, I might add some more bug related names as Easter eggs (both good and bad) to the update if possible.
Oh, haha, I’m flattered you thought of Morse code for that but it’s likely a sketch that I might have accidentally put in the background that I didn’t hide since I tend to sketch out my drawings in bright red or blue. I’ll see if I can fix that mistake in the update.
Thank you so much!! I think it’s amazing that so many people made or started accounts on tumblr and itchio just to interact with me or say how much they like my game (right now Perfect Love is floating around on the main itchio game page which is insane to me considering there are probably like hundreds of thousands of games on there. It’s also really cool that so many people around the world are having fun playing my game!
Also I think it’s kind of funny when people are like Milo means dear and beloved it must be deliberate when in actuality it was a happy accident and I was trying to find a name that was similar to the word Chameleon.

I finally read again today, chapters 34-39 this time
Usually I read these books in german while on the bus but today I forgot my book, but fortunately, I had some time to go to the library and they had it, but only in english. And since I was sitting at a table with my phone, I was able to take notes live as I read, and I'd like to share those with you rather than doing what I usually do and trying to sum up all of my thoughts a few hours later
Chapter 35:
the fact that NO ONE in the summer court recognized Feyre is absolutely ridiculous, it really is like her accomplishments from the first just vanished, no wonder so many people recommend just skipping ahead to MAF i bet that would make the reading experience wayyyyy less frustrating
shes cursing herself from being so out of shape despite Cassian's 'lessons' and that reminds me, at the start of ACOMAF her internal monologue and other characters kept remarking on how thin and frail she had become and I dont think its come up since she started staying at the NC permanently, great mental health rep girlie
"I let instinct, no doubt granted from Rhys, guide me forward." Come onnnnnnnn, can Feyre not be cool on her own for one (1) moment
"Amarathan did not break that kindness [from before UTM]." no, but Rhys sure did
Once again, Feyre is horrified at her violating Tarquin's mind, rightfully so, and yet she continues to hang out with His Majesty, The King of Violating Minds
Rhys tells Feyre that she "thinks like an Illyrian", which is very strange to me given that Illyrian women are literally not allowed to do anything other than housework and Illyrian men are seemingly all violent misogynists whom Rhys hates
Chapter 36:
"I'd bet they wouldn't have handed over that book" but you didnt ask them though??? Like, they couldve just told Tarquin about their plans, he seems reasonable enough, even if Cresseida and Varian dont agree, he as high lord should be able to override their opinions easily and if that doesnt work out THEN you can go ahead and steal it. Sure, maybe they wouldve trippled security and/or thrown them out of the SC but that should hardly be an obstacle for The Most Powerful Highlord In The History Of Prythian and his eldritch girl best friend
Okay, so Rhysand did pack illyrian leathers for her which is nice, but still, I see no reason why Feyre had to wear dresses for this (and be okay with wearkng dresses when she absolutely wasnt at the start of ACOMAF) when the NC clearly has more feminine fashion involving pants
Theres lead in this vaguely medieval fantasy world?? And theyve had for like centuries?? That seems weird to me I'll have to look into that i think
Okay, so Feyre shapeshifted into Tarquin and she says that she didnt let any part of herself that wasnt Tarquin shine through while she opened the books locks, but those shapeshifting powers are Tamlin's though. That has some very interesting implications but tbh idk if I trust sjm to have thought about it that much
"I am summer; I am sea and sun and green things" that just sounds kinda silly, also I feel like it shouldve been "I am sea and sun and golden sand" given the beach vibes that the Summer Court has
Chapter 37:
note to self: lookup what Leshon Hakodesh is exactly bc theres no way its not some random mythological term that sjm is just dropping into her world [edit: its just the jewish term for 'the Holy Tongue', im not gonna question the implications of that any more than im gonna question the existence of Nyx as a minor goddess or something in this world]
Rhysand doesnt tells anyone jackshit and Cassian is ready to stab Amren if she dares go against him, why are these jokers friends again?
Chapter 38:
granted, its been a while since I read this book and my memory isnt the best, but why exactly does Rhysand need to keep the 'why' of their mission secret? wasnt their mission just to find the cauldron before Hybern does and prevent a war with prythian and the human world?? I guess maybe Rhys doesnt wanna reveal his secret goodness or whatever, but he couldve just had Feyre act as some kind of emissary to the rest of Prythian, like, just have her pretend this is information she found out by herself at the Night Court and have her relay it to the other courts, Feyre has saved them before they have no reason not to listen to her
"'I think Tarquin wanted to be my friend.'" question, is Tarquin/Rhys a thing? Obviously Rhys doesnt deserve Tarquin but idk, there could be something there I think. they have some nice aesthetic contrasts
why would Feyre say stuff like "mother above" when thats not a deity she believed in for most of her life? Like, I already talked about how Feyre clearly had the impulse to pray in ACOTAR she just didnt do it because the names of the mortal gods have been long forgotten, but idk, I feel like her starting to embrace fae religion warrants more exploration. and fae religion in general warrants more exploration tbh
"'Its not the end of the world if you [make a mistake] every now and then'" hello??? Feyre, he made you steal from a man that has been nothing but kind to you for no reason and now theres a bounty on your heads!! And lets not forget that Rhys, Amren and Feyre are all highranking politicians in the night court, youre lucky the SC is too occupied with rebuilding itself to declare war on your asses
I keep saying this, its so infuriating how well Feyre and Rhysand already get along when theyve spent like, 2 or maybe 3 months if Im being very generous, worth of time together aside from their time UTM
god Feysand flirting is the most straight bullshit to ever straight bullshit I feel like im gonna die
Shes thinking about buying RED "lacy things" when that was meant to be a trigger for her, did no one edit this
"a sensual male voice chuckled with midnight laughter" istg the prose is so much worse in english
Feyre having to make herself focus to not look at Rhysand dick after he just had a horrible nightmare has the same energy as Bryce Crescent City thinking about how hot and muscular Hunt is while he just completely shut down because he had to kill someone
"The hole in my chest that was slowly starting to heal over" can you BE more unsubtle
Chapter 39:
Rhysand tattooing the symbol of the nightcourt onto both his knees because he "will bow for no one and nothing but his crown" is actually so funny, i wish he did more cringefail bullshit like that
I think out of all the inner circle relationships, I like Amren and Feyre the best so far and I absolutely do not believe that Cassian cares about Amren at all, much less sees her as family, that guy would kill her in a heartbeat if he could
forgive my aromanticness, but I really dont like the thing that Amren and Varian have going on, cant there be ONE character that doesnt have some stupid romance subplot in this world
Oh, so Mor telling Feyre very little of any specific plans they have is fine, but if someone from the spring court does it theyre the worst person ever
"[Cassian told me] that my family was full of bossy, know-it-all females" oh but hes sooooo much better than all those other illyrians who are all sexist brutes
Why are Beron and Helion the only ones with a last name
"[Strolling through Velaris with Mor] was perhaps my favorite, and the female certainly excelled at finding ways to spend money" are you fucking kidding me, are there actually people who consider a book with this kind of blatant 'women b shopping' bullshit to be feminist?
"'I wanted to protect my people, change the perceptions of the Illyrians, and eliminate the corruption that plagued the land'" wow Rhys and youve done such a good job at all of those things in the 500 years youve been on the throne
"[Tamlin] resented being High Lord — and maybe... maybe that was part of why the court had become what it was" ???? girlie what are you talking about, the spring court is fine right now it doesnt get destroyed until ACOWAR. which is also you fault
so Feyre is once again wearing a chiffon gown for political reasons when she could very well be wearing pants and shes completely fine with that. great
And Mor is wearing red and Feyre is completely unbothered by it, why give her a trigger like that if it just stops mattering the second shes out of the spring court

Personally, I flat refuse to vote for anything non-English unless it's against something else non-English, even if it's something I recognize, like, and use, e.g. fremdschaemen. Comparing across languages just isn't interesting, and the faster it gets down to all English words, the more interesting the votes will be.
Huh, i find it the opposite! There's so many pretty and interesting words from other languages, and some of them use cool sounds English doesnt even have! I've learned about a lot of cool things from the other languages in this tournament, and I think it'd be a bit boring to just have English words. If you wanted only English words, you could make a different tournament for the best English word, but I'm accepting all languages, cause its interesting and fun for me! (and hopefully for a lot of you, too)
