still trucking on that hurt/comfort-y ilsaethan fix-it y’all. here’s another snippet 🥹
“Eyes still closed, she leans back against the headboard of the bed. “Do what you have to do,” Ilsa says quietly. Then, more softly, she adds, “I have faith in you, Ethan.”
Ethan’s breath hitches as he looks at her. She’s vulnerable, in pain, face pale and lips parted, and yet she’s letting him take care of her, not even watching what he’s doing. The level of trust she has in him makes his heart flutter.
They’ve all had it drilled into their heads that relationships — platonic or romantic — are weaknesses, and as a young agent whose mentor had betrayed him, he had believed it. He’s changed now. Ethan knows his team is the opposite of a weakness, despite whatever the Entity or Kittridge might think.
His team makes him stronger. Ilsa makes him stronger.”

worst part of writing worm is that i can't make them say 'jesus fucking christ' it's the only thing that expresses that specific emotion but i refuse to commit the sin of anachronism..... all of gods true and virtuous writers will be rewarded i just have to hold fast

Hi<3 I wanted to talk about your post about Nesta and pregnancy plot:
I agree with you but also the pregnancy plot was written from 2 other characters pov that has nothing to do with Feysand. this is definitely an important plot-line for the ship and like you said it was only written to be a redemption arc for Nesta (imagine you retcon the idea of c-section to find a way for your character redemption... wtf?) she could've approached it in so many better ways like "communication". but at the same time if you look at it from Feysand pov it makes so much sense for Rhys to do what he did and not bc its in character for him.
bc Feyre was pregnant and she also knew the birth would be hard so she wasn't completely in the dark and there's always a chance at dying during child birth like I'm pretty sure back then was absolutely common even though they're living in a magical world but you know nothing make sense in that fkn book. but yeah let's say Feyre didn't know and imagine the stress she would've gone through if she knew, it only would've hurt the baby. and it wasn't like Rhys didn't wanted to tell her, it only happen that Nesta told her first so he really didn't have a chance to discuss this with her. also Nesta promised to not tell but she broke that promise, she's not any better.
and what is really interesting to me is Rhys was doing everything he could to find a way to help Feyre. he wasn't sitting on his ass and doing nothing unlike "someone" who only had meaningless sex and did not offer to help. so it's obv to me that the only reason she told Feyre was bc IC didn't trust her to tell her about the swords gee I wonder why… (and the fact that she thought her situation is anywhere near what Feyre was going through) I still don't know what sjm was thinking to make that a redemption arc for Nesta. I'm Genuinely disappointed bc she could've have write the most jaw dropping journeys but it was reduced to smut and no plot to be seen...
Exactly.
If we’d had Rhys’ pov we would’ve known what he was thinking, and why he did it.
Because as you said it would’ve been soooo traumatic for feyre and 100% would’ve not been good for the baby.
I’m writing Feysand’s pov for some of acosf and I just reread the bit where feyre finds out and she literally says “Madja said there would be an increased risk”
And again it comes down to nesta not knowing how to handle people disliking her, she was hurt and her first response was to hurt feyre, even when feyre voted for nesta to know about the trove.
And Rhys had gone to visit miryam and drakon, had mor looking on the continent, and had begged Helion to help him (which is big bc he has the tattoos).
She had so much potential with that book. And the redemption arc didn’t really work. All nesta did to heal with feyre was save her life, she didn’t apologise or anything

on the flip side of that Toxic Skincare Obsession post: I’m tired of seeing sun protection presented as another frivolous, unnecessary product of the patriarchy
“I’m going to sit in the sun with wine and enjoy it and fuck anti-aging products like SPF!” I mean yes normalize and celebrate people- especially women -not looking 22 forever but also
Skin Cancer Is Bad Maybe?

I love Raph and haven’t said that enough so to be more specific I love that Raph is a soft boy who loves bear plushies, a gross boy who eats an assortment of things that are definitely better left alone, a smart boy who is more than capable of taking down villains through planning and fortitude alike, a strong boy who is dedicated to training his muscles and fighting prowess, a teenage boy who loves his brothers but is more than happy to tease and roughhouse with them, an angry boy who sometimes lets his anger take a hold of him to cover the fear, a gentle boy who is generous with hugs and affirmations to those he loves, a capable boy who takes on more than should ever be expected of a teenager, a good boy who just wants to be a hero and slowly comes to realize the cost of that duty, a good boy who has no reservations about putting himself in the way of harm coming to his family, a good boy who’s a great brother and son and person and deserves only the best the world has to offer.
