I just remembered that Cassian sat across from Mor sipping tea while she talked about how Nesta should be in a dungeon or being tortured by being locked up in hewn city and he’s just there blown the fuck away by Mor’s beauty AND THEN LATER she winnows to Illyria where Cassian is training, ogles him and talks to Nesta about how she’ll never deserve him and how attractive he is
Nesta stood up for Cassian during the high lord meeting, in front of EVERYBODY and he can’t take his family aside and tell them to stop starting fights with her? He’ll stand in front of Mor when Eris is around but sit by and do nothing when Rhys threatens Nesta’s life?
He. Does. Not. Love. Her. Funny also that his attitude changed toward her after the war when she was taking other men to her bed. Sjm made her sleep around out of character so that nessian can have hate sex but sjm still virtue signals feminism as if Cassian in acowar wasn’t calling her sweetheart and Cassian in acomaf didn’t wipe away her tears in front of the queens and everyone. He promised her time together as his would-be last words. But then sjm writes that Nesta uses sex to cope and now all-of-a-sudden Cassian is telling her that everybody fucking hates her and that he never asked to be shackled to her. Making it clear she can only use sex as a coping mechanism if it’s sex WITH HIM.
Suddenly he’s not understanding. Suddenly he isn’t gentle with her. No, now he’s an incel who locks Nesta up until she caves and sleeps with him.
It’s hard to imagine a being with wings, who flies in the air, would want to confine his MATE to a house she can’t escape from. Azriel, too, was locked up as a boy and then acts as a prison guard against her? And for Feyre to be the one to do it when she was supposedly traumatized when Tamlin locked her in his mansion? I understand why elain packed her clothes and sent her on her way— she’s the type to save herself and if she sided with Nesta she’d be locked up alongside her.
I’m just saying, ACOSF is a lot to unpack and I’m still processing my shock and disgust years later. I truly can’t believe it happened.

Sometimes you'll meet a Fae, and it won't look like it's supposed. It'll be broken looking, missing pieces like shattered glass, deformed and distorted features to the point where they're twisted and uncanny, discolored body, erratic or dangerous behavior, sometimes even so distorted it looks more like an eldrich horror then a creature of the Fae courts.
These Fae have lost their lands. Great desert spirits whose dunes have been turned into golf courses. Creatures of forests and fields whose lands have been overtaken by malls and parking lots. Protectors of cities and towns whose communities and natural ecosystems have been replaced by highways and lawns. These creatures are in pain because the very places they were part of are dead. They lost something so fundamental to them that they can't heal without it.
The people who made the world this way will complain that the Fae react naturally to what happened. But what else do they expect? This is the world they made. They'll try to solve this problem with iron bullets, but this isn't a Fae breaking its rules so it's just not going to work that way.
When you're working to heal these types of Fae you're working to heal the land. And that will take time. That monstrosity made of plastic and concreate isn't going to return to being a forest spirit the momment you plant a tree where that mall and that parking lot was, that wandering horror isn't going to switch back into being a town guardian the momment you sign a bike lane into law, you have to make space for them and give them time to heal, and then mabye you'll be making space for humans too.

Worst things that happened to modern literature in my opinion:
Rowling taking over the concept of magic schools then spiraling on being a terf and now flirting with neo Nazis and the alt right.
Twilight popularizing the concept of magical love corner between creepy childhood friend and creepier immortal being ever fighting over the human embodiment of a sandwich made from two slices of white bread and a thin layer of saltless butter
Ready player one
Ready player two
Everything about jay kristoff
literally everything about him sucks
Sarah j Maas
The word fae
Hades and Persephone
Straight enemies to lovers
Straight omegaverse
Being honest I'm coming out as heterophobic here straight people should be banished from writing until you dumbfucks learn the difference between banter and abuse and the word consent also the age of consent laws
Fucking ugly minimalist covers
Did I said already fae because I fucking hate the fae
The 100+ yo dark aesthetic male love interest whose whole personality it's abs and toxic and being a pedophile
Sex (my problem it's not with sex itself as I am a horny mf myself my problem it's the worst books with the most cringeworthy sex scenes being sold as the best thing ever)
I'm talking about blowjob on a warzone bad sex scenes
Seriously why so many people like the concept of Faes
Any book booktok decides it's good
Booktok itself
People who have a whole ass bookshelf of different harry Potter variants
Like it's not even like interesting faes it's just those conventionally attractive european people with mutant powers
To be honest most problems with modern literature could be traced back to fucking harry Potter
Gay and black characters that only exist to be killed and further the white straight girl narrative
Fanfics being publicized as books
Correction the worst fanfics becoming books
And lastly FUCKING FAES WHY EVERYONE WANTS TO FUCK A BOY TINKERBELL FOR FUCK SAKE WHY? AND THEY ARENT EVEN FUCKING ACCURATE FAES EVEN THEY ARE EDGY EARLY 2000 DEMONS WITH LIKE THE TWILIGHT SUPER POWERS AND CRINGE ASS BAT WINGS, AND SOME OF THEM LOOK LIKE IF LEGOLAS WAS A TOKTOKER

None of the IC were aware of feysand’s death pact, which is the main reason they did what Rhysand ordered and didn’t tell Feyre that her pregnancy would be fatal. They don’t care about her outside of who she is to him. If he was willing to step aside and let his mate die while birthing the heir to his court, they didn’t care either.
