So um, youā€™re the only other MENA person I know on this site, and I donā€™t want to be controversial or anything but, did you see what happened to Qasem Soleimani? Do you have any thoughts on that? You donā€™t have to answer if you donā€™t want to.
That was horrible (not to mention a literal war crime but I guess weā€™re fine with those now) and had me depressed for a WHOLE week I wasnā€™t in the WW3 frenzy or anything but because of other reasons
I canā€™t wait for the orange bastard to be out of officeĀ

Iā€™m still so furious about the cultural appropriation? I mean fairyā€™s tattoos, hmmm were have I seen that design before *looks down at my henna covered hands* and then Rice Krispies gets one to match? And she uses it as a part of their creepy ass deal were he uses it to spy on her? Okay Janet šŸ‘ŒšŸ¾
DEADASS HAHAĀ 
Tumblr media
She could have JUST kept the eye on her palm
it would have made sense (for the spying part) and it would have been hidden and it would have been more menacing
But she HAD to addĀ ā€œswirlsā€ because thatā€™s aesthetic and thats the only thing Sarah cares aboutĀ

okay so some days ago I saw a girl explaining why she thought rice and feyruhā€™s relationship was toxic. Messā€™ fandom was answering her with memes while she was actually using coherent arguments, and they thought she was crazy. Half of book twitter went nuts and then made a fake acc for the girl while harassing her. Thatā€™s why I hate exposing my opinion. They donā€™t have good arguments and they attack you instead of listening.
ON GOD THEY HUNT YOU LIKE A WITCH IF YOU SAY ANYTHING BAD ABOUT THEM IN THEIR PRESENCE
Tumblr media
they kinda be terrifying like that
and imagine how bad those kids must feel that want to genuinely just criticize the book and are too scared to come forward

Iā€™m enjoying to read your blog a lot. Iā€™m a 16 year old Brazilian girl and Iā€™ve been reading sjm and other authors. Reading your blog made me realize the problematic aspects of certain books and now I feel like Iā€™m way more conscious of the lack of representation (I realized how I, as a latina and bisexual girl, canā€™t relate to a lot of characters). Reading what you say about books makes me develop my critical thinking and Iā€™m really thankful for this.
Awww darling iā€™m so glad to hear this!!
Tumblr media
From what I read you seem like a bright, intelligent girl but Iā€™ll still say so just in case
Although Iā€™m glad you see these problematic aspects and develop critical thinking while reading new books itā€™s okay to still like some aspects about them, if not have nostalgic feelings for certain things.Ā 
The key is to understand that thereā€™s problematic aspects to it and know why they are problematicĀ 
which I know youā€™re doing now!Ā

what do you think about manon blackbeak?
I loved her in Q0SĀ 
I was halfway through E0S but i barely remember if she did anything useful, important, impactful
and also I heard that she basically becomes Dorians sexdoll so iā€™m not feeling too fruityĀ šŸ˜”

Nesta is depressed AND has ptsd. Why canā€™t people stop treating feyr* like a saint for sending her own SISTER away for literally being DEPRESSED. I love Nesta sm and I wish people would stop hating on her. She was the only one who did something for feyr* when she went missing, she was taken against her will to prythi*n and when she was struggling feyr* practically made her go to that fucking party with her friends during ac0fas. friends who Nesta made clear she didnā€™t want to meet.
Bro whats up with Sarahā€™s weird treatment of depressed people????Dorian was depressed and Aelin wanted to kill him off
Nesta is depressed and Feyre sends her away
itā€™s almost as if itā€™s a nuisance and bothersome and doesnā€™t matter to her unless itā€™s her main characters, having depression for the angst and sad aestheticĀ

Iā€™m reading t0g bc I like some of the characters (like two of them) but I get really annoyed by some things. r0wan literally told alien itā€™d be better if she had died and aedi0n called lys*ndra a bitch for no reason??? I hate them both
the feminist book series we neededĀ šŸ„“

I really liked sorscha and dorian together, but then sjm had to brutally murder yet again another poc character for the ā€œgrowthā€ of a white one. She did the same thing with nehemia.
She was literally BEHEADED so Dorian could have a depressed episode
Like whatā€™s up with Sarah and having the POC brutally mutilated????I donā€™t wanna shout racist but doesnā€™t that seem off to anyone else lmaoĀ

remever that part in QOS when alien freed Lysandra from her dept so she didn't have to be a straight up sex slave anymore. and then alien preceded to make jokes about 'how she looks ugly when she cries' because she thought it was impossible for her to look ugly like????? this isn't the right fucking moment fuck off
Imagine someone has a MOMENT and you VIOLENTLY insert yourself in there because god forbid the spotlight isnā€™t on you for half a second
None of us decent human beings can relateĀ

If you could choose any one character from acotar, who would it be and why?
To do what with exactly?
To kick in the face? Rhys/and because heā€™s a pos that deserves it
To take out of that world and into one where they are appreciated and treated right? Tarquin and Nesta
because theyā€™re the only ones that are either fleshed out as a character, donā€™t kiss up to Failsands asses or are sympathetic

any reccs. for good ME inspired fic?
Iā€™ve heard The Wrath and The Dawn is really good (havenā€™t read it myself yet)Ā 
Iā€™m cautious when it comes to ME fiction (especially ya) because itā€™s often like VERY often written by white people and thereā€™s a risk of it being borderline racist and fetishizingĀ

My 15 yr old sister came to me and asked me to read or investigate books she wanted to read, something like putting parental control, because she and her friends (other 15-year-old girls) are tired of finding mature stuff in YA and I understand, at their age I felt uncomfortable with some things, but even now that I'm 23 years old I find some scenes too problematic. Mainly because they are toxic relationships, non-positive, pages and pages of a sex scene that does not help the plot.
Iā€™m glad your sister thinks like that and comes to you for help!I didnā€™t think that far when I was her age lol so I was exposed to some dumb shitĀ 
which I at that time of course loved and even now have some nostalgic feelings for but I see the problems in said writing and stories now
And iā€™m pretty sure whatever bad was in those books shaped and contributed to my teenage opinion on the world and relationships (raise your hand if you were into useless brooding absuvie men because they had that bad boy flairĀ šŸ„“)I guess we are in that time where the books are just slowly starting to get better so weā€™ll have to be patient because a lot of books and authors are still gonna use these useless, problematic tropes
