#tamlin's father

It's that time again people.

Acotar Rant Time

This started because I was reblogging someone elses post, and making a point about something, then I got sidetracked. And it turned into something else entirely, so here I am ranting about it.

CW Discussions of domestic violence, physical abuse and child-grooming.

I don't think we should throw the whole idea of rejected mating bonds out altogether.

I know the theory mostly stems around Elriels who want to find a way to make their ship become canon. That is not the point of this post. I do not like elriel in the slightest.

I DO THINK that someone rejecting a mating bond to get into another relationship, would mentally harm the persons beyond any ability to cope with the broken bond.

However, we have examples of women who may have very well been better off rejecting their mating bonds then remaining in them. The example I'll be focusing on is Tamlin's mother.

She was taken as the bride of the Spring Lord, because of the mating bond she had with him. We have no idea who she was before, but unlike say Rhysand's mother where her mating bond quite literally saved her from her wings being mutilated. Tamlin's mother isn't said to have been in any bad situation, at least not one I can remember.

For the sake of simplicity, we will say she was born and raised in Spring. Living a, we'll say middle class life. Maybe the daughter of a Lord or Courtier. Maybe she was a peasant but doing well. Just generally, the lack of information when it comes to SJM's writing at least, usually means there wasn't much to be said. So, I will assume she was in a fine situation.

I believe if she was in a horrible situation before the mating bond snapped, that would have been explicitly detailed, like how Rhysand's mother's situation was said to have been.

Then boom, she finds out she is mated to the High lord of Spring, which brings about several changes in her life.

She is taken from whatever living situation she was in before, put into the Spring Lord's manor, and lives amongst his Court. She becomes the Lady of Spring, is put into a high-ranking position as the High lord's consort. She is his mate, so their bond is even stronger.

From the outside, it looks like she has gone from, not much to be told, to something far greater. From outside, everything looks perfect for her.

But as it turns out the High lord of the Spring Court, is worse than Beron himself.

Beron lays hands on his wife, she comes into the High lord's meeting looking malnourished and pale. She can't even make eye-contact with Helion, who is her lost lover. But at the very least, we get a moment of tenderness from Beron, when he puts his hand on hers when speaking of her dead sisters.

(Going off topic real quick here. I think Beron wasn't always as abusive towards his wife as he is now. Not defending him at all, I think it adds nuance to his character. Beron clearly knew the LOA's family, and wanted to have her as his bride for the power in her bloodline. It is quite likely he knew the LOA personally, and marriage with her was purely a political choice.

Plus after the LOA had heirs for him. Beron sent her to live away from the Autumn House. Which is said to be to spread his Court over Autumn. At that same time, if it was that vital to spread out his Court. Then once the War was over, he would have sent the LOA back out away from the Forest House, so clearly it wasn't that important. I believe it was more sending her off, so he didn't have to be around her, and she could live with her sisters.

There is some form of tenderness between them, at least from Beron's actions. I think this may stem from some form of lovingness that was strangled when the LOA had an affair with Helion. I don't think it was her fault. I don't think Beron was a good man to start off with.

And I do not even slightly believe the LOA wanted her marriage. It was forced. I just believe in the theory that Beron once upon a time, may have been quite similar to Eris. Where he keeps emotion away from the game and plays the long run.

However he has succumb to rage and hatred. For reasons that may have had outside influence again. Another layer of nuance to his character. He easily gave into hatred and anger, but I kind of want to know what steered him to that course.)

That was a little off topic, back to what I was saying.

Beron at the very least has some form of empathy. The High lord of Spring is worse.

Meaning I believe he generally has no empathy for his family. Is extremely explosive and angry. And most likely has little to no care for his wife.

It's quite easy to put together that the Spring Lord would have abused Tamlin's mother quite ferociously. But she didn't care, and didn't care for the abuse her sons went through, because she was blinded by her love for him which was made from the bond.

It was not real love.

The point I make here, is that what would have happened if Tamlin's mother rejected the bond?

The rose-tinted glasses would have been forcefully torn off. Of course it would influence her, but the mating bond is said to just linger. It is there and will follow her for the rest of her life, but it would not be nearly as strong. More of a reminder of what she went through.

I think if she rejected the bond, the love she had for Tamlin's father would have been torn away as well. And the abuse he put her and her sons through would be far plainer to see.

Especially when we look at how Tamlin's father dragged him to Hybern, where Amarantha was preying on him as a child. Another note, we have no clue on just how much reign Amarantha had with Tamlin in Hybern. If he wasn't full on touched, it's likely he was mentally and emotionally groomed.

I think the mating bond would influence anger within the Lady of Spring. Not just for the life she was torn away from, but the sons she was forced to bear and how they were being treated.

Anyway.

Give me a fic with the Lady of Spring battling with withdrawal like symptoms from a broken bond.

Give me a real Hades and Persephone story, with Amarantha as Hades, Tamlin as Persephone and Tamlin's mother as Demeter.

Tamlin's father being racked with the grief of the bond and going ballistic, yet Tamlin's mother no longer blinded by fake love, fights back against him.

All this to say, I think there are instances where the rejected mating bond theory would be fucking awesome.

Then the bitter-sweet ending of Tamlin's mother never being completely rid of Tamlin's father, but being able to take a breath that is finally not overshadowed by abuse and a fake love.

All of this was inspired by this post by @the-darkestminds

Yeah the broken bond trope, I don't see happening for Elriel at all. But I think the idea of a broken bond would be awesome. Kind of self-love instead of outside love.

Daily reminder that we’ve only seen two evil people in the CoN. So why do so many people slander the people in Hewn city when we’ve only seen Kier and HEARD of Lord Thanatos…but Morrigan and everyone else in the Inner Circle hates them so we have to hate them as well? The same men and women who are continuously being abused but Rhysand can’t do anything because?? What is Rhysand the High Lord of? It’s not the Illryian war camps and it’s not Hewn city so it’s Velaris and he doesn’t tithe people from Velaris but how would he have money then? How much you wanna bet that the war camps and Hewn city pay those tithes because they’re apparently so evil and deserve to suffer and Rhysand can’t do anything to help the men and women because well we don’t know because JUST KNOW it’s for a good reason.

#anti feysand #anti inner circle #anti sjm #sjm critical #anti rhysand #pro nesta #pro tamlin #free the Archeron sisters from them now #I am pro everyone but the inner circle #except Beron maybe but when have we seen him be evil (I know that he clearly abused his children I’m not justifying that.) #he is a shitty father and husband all around

[lorcandidlucienwill]

Do you guys ever have an idea that’s so obviously canon to you based on what has been written that you forget that it’s not technically explicitly canon?

#lucien has whipping scars #eris has back scars from beron #tamlin and rhysand are ex lovers #tamlin looks just like his father but has his mama's eyes #gwyn and azriel are mates #lucien will become high lord or high king #nesta is more powerful than rhys #tamlin has DID #tamsand #cassian is in love with mor #elain is a healer

[simmanin]

My personal agenda with my fic is to make Tamlin a good father and let him experience sweet little moments with his daughter because he was never shown love by his own father .

if you’re interested, you can read the fic here! It’s currently ongoing & should be updated by the weekend :)

I AM THINKING THOUGHTS ABOUT A TAMSAND ACOTAR FIC

Ok so like imagine Feyre didn’t say she loved Tamlin in time so Amarantha wins and everyone dies. And Rhys is having fleeting thoughts about regretting all his decisions up to this point as he watches Tamlin, specifically, dying at Amarantha’s hand. Now idk how the Cauldron works exactly but I imagine it going HEH ok why don’t you try again then? And it gives him a second chance. So he becomes aware of himself and life again right before getting to Tamlin’s door the night his father killed Tamlin’s parents in their bed.

And in the split second it takes for him to orient himself he decides to align himself with Tamlin this time so he kills his father. Then goes to Tamlin to tell him everything that happened, spins some of the truth and says he ONLY came with the intention to save Tamlin from his father and would have saved his mother given the chance. He doesn’t tell him about what’s coming, nothing about Amarantha. FROM THERE IDK maybe he convinces Tamlin to marry him or maybe he decides they need to keep their allying with each other quiet. EITHER WAY Rhys chooses the love of his life and promises to protect him this time.

#OK ANYWAY #tamsand #this fic idea was actually inspired one of the character weeks #pretty someone had Second Chance as a prompt #and this was what came of that #rn the idea is rotting my brain again #I loooooove the idea of Rhys going back and being a little feral in his need to protect tamlin #because last time he let himself become blinded by rage and anger and hate #when he didn’t need to #and yes him not telling the entire truth about coming with his father instead of AFTER him #would be a looming problem #I also imagine Eris making appearances ESPECIALLY after Lucien went to Tamlin’s court #for the drama of one-sided ramrod #TAMRIS* #this works ESPECIALLY well in the case of them hiding that they’re still in contact #ANYWAY YEA #THERE #acotar #pro tamlin

WIP Wednesday: New Fic!

Hello All!!

Edits are underway for “Take These Broken Wings” chapters 3 and 4, but in the spirit of the holiday (Happy Valentine’s Day!) I wanted to drop sweet little slice of my upcoming Feytamsand fic.

“Are you too old to sit on mom’s lap for storytime, or should I go change out of my paint clothes first?” she asks, humor alight in her words.

I feel the heat of a blush on my cheeks as I answer. “Definitely too old for sitting on your lap…but maybe not for the couch…” She knew what I meant. When I had bad dreams or hard days at school, sometimes i’d lay on the couch, face in her lap. It felt too juvenile to use the word ‘cuddles’ but I guess that’s what it was. A kid’s allowed to cuddle his mom right?

A few minutes later, mom was back wearing leggings and one of her favorite sweaters. She sat on the couch next to the big window in the library and patted the seat next to her, warmth filling the space between us. I pushed off the wall from where I stood and went to join her. As I settled in, she began her story. “Alright Nyx, let’s start from the beginning. Here’s the story of how I met your fathers.”

“How I Met Your Fathers” is a Feytamsand fic where Feyre tells Nyx how her, Rhysand, and Tamlin’s bonds all snapped at different times throughout their history. The fic uses storytelling inspiration from “How I Met your Mother” and “The Princess Bride”.

“How I Met Your Fathers” will drop on 4/7/24 for Day 1 of Poly+ ACOTAR week: Beginnings!

suddenly considering a tamlin x eris fic

….

i think i see potential here

#tamlin x eris #tamris perhaps #tamris #pro tamlin #pro eris #the two males repeatedly underestimated maligned and sneered at by the NC #despite tamlin literally eradicating slavery and tyranny enabled by his father #and eris spending 5 centuries trying to undermine his evil ass father while playacting as the perfect heir #both who have done things they regret but have done their best #both who ultimately deserve so much better than the narrative and IC deem them worthy of #anti inner circle #just for safetys sake #i’m an azris lover but like THERE IS POTENTIAL HERE #it’d also be kinda enemies to lovers but of a very different flavor imo

[bookishfeylin]

You know what would be absolutely hilarious? The Feylin kids having absolutely 0 survival instincts at all. Feyre is horrified that her daughter can't figure out how to string a bow. Tamlin trying to figure out why their son still doesn't know how to skin a kill. Them screaming at their kids that no, you can't just drink water straight from a stream, you have to boil it first. And of course both Feyre and Tamlin wondering where they went wrong as parents, because when they were teenagers they knew how to survive alone in the woods, but they can't even leave Alexander and Adora alone for 2 seconds when they go camping as a family.

And then eventually realizing that maybe it's a good thing their children don't know--weren't forced to know--how to survive all by themselves. And maybe that means they actually succeeded as parents.

Tamsand is so Little Mermaid core.

Tamlin's father- "DON'T EVER GO TO THE NIGHT LANDS AND DON'T EVER GO NEAR RHYSAND AGAIN DO YOU HEAR ME?!?!

Tamlin- "But daddy I love him!"

Tamlin's father- *Destroys hundreds of poems and songs Tamlin wrote about Rhysand.* "I NEVER WANT TO HEAR OF YOU BEING WITH THE NIGHT PRINCE AGAIN!"

Tamlin- *Dramatically falls onto a rock and sobs over torn pieces of paper.*

#andras is sebastian #bron and hart were flounder and scuttle #yes tamlin's father destroying tamlin's poems is like triton destroying the statue of eric #tamlin #pro tamlin #acotar headcanons #acotar meme #rhysand #tamsand #rhyslin

[boldlyvoid]

I’ve spent enough time maladaptive daydreaming about being in acotar that I think my power would be to look at someone and know their entire lineage including who their mate is supposed to be and the possible children. I would love to be able to see family trees

#I’d help cassian track down his father #I’d see how Elain and Az were bonded but the cauldron thought he was dead on the faebane which made her bond Lucien #I’d know if Gwen’s dad is Lucien or Tamlin or some other spring court loser #it would be so fun #I’d be a great asset to the team

[lorcandidlucienwill]

When you write angst about Tamlin and his father and his father is starting to sound a little too much like your actual father so you just stare at your writing like 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

Okay I’m working on a new Prythian University post and somehow every ACOTAR character I look at has a father wound. Even the ones who have a mother wound also have a father wound. I’m trying to find one who doesn’t. One. One!! I can’t find one!! Amren? Did Tarquin like his dad? Helion? Help!

#acotar #prythian university #sjm critical #and you get a father wound and you get a father wound #roll call: cassian mor Azriel rhysand feyre nesta elain Lucien Eris tamlin Tomas mandray probably emerie gwyn

If I had a nickel for every time a beast-coded fictional character got absolutely fucked by the story for doing terrible things to get the girl he loved back to safety after she got kidnapped but not really because she doesn't really love him anymore and decided to run away to a band of questionable people that everyone thinks are the bad guys because she was traumatised and he didn't love/tread her the way she wanted I'd have two nickles.

Which isn't much but it's weird it happened twice.

#justice for my babygirls #both have soft undertummy even if they are beasts #dettlaff van der eretein #pro tamlin #tamlin acotar #dettlaff is making chidren's toys and was giving them to children for free #and Tamlin basically have to redo entire court after his terrible father #poor Tamlin #at least we can choose to save Dettlaff

[toast-com]

Why does Rhysand assume that Tamlin willingly gave his father and brothers the location of where his sister and mother were???

Why does he assume this????

And yes, I am still angry about the Acofas scene. I will be angry.

#anti rhysand #pro tamlin #you cannot tell me that tamlin would willingly tell his abusive father where rhysand's mother and sister are #you cannot #anti acofas #i hate that scene and rhysand's entire chapter #and then after he kicks tamlin when he's down #he tells feyre and feyre just CONDONES THIS #why??????????
