If Talos has millions of fans, i am one of them
If Talos has ten fans, i am one of them
If Talos only has one fan, that is me
If Talos has no fans, that means i am dead

i was struck recently by how often armand cries during the devil's minion chapter. armand generally tries to present himself as cold and disaffected, and when he has emotional outbursts, they're usually angry ones. he tries to keep up this attitude with daniel somewhat (his whole 'oh i didn't even notice you gone' type routine when daniel returns to night island), but it seems like he really can't quite pull it off in the manner he normally does. he gets affected by daniel's words in a way he's not used to.
the description of his crying being uncontrollable, like he's awakened a lost side of himself he can't handle, is so interesting. armand was isolated for so long - he was enslaved and then a cult leader, he goes from one extreme situation to another. and when he and louis fell in love, he sabotaged their relationship so thoroughly in a way there was no need to argue, because they went straight from the top of the world to rock bottom. there was nothing really to say, just resignation. even when they break up armand just walks away in a manner where louis thinks he's coming back later. their passionate love affair had become cold and sterile. whereas daniel and armand are on a roller coaster ride, 'misery and ecstasy united by love' all wrapped up in one relationship. and the ups and downs made both of them emotional - prone to heated fights and dramatically reuniting.
i don't think armand knew how to handle the hot and cold of it all. if daniel were only ever cruel, he could close himself off and try to shut off his feelings (i think this is kind of eventually what happened during their tva era break up), but daniel also loves him and makes armand's life exciting and puts up with his insane questions and experiments. he can't turn off the vulnerability he had to have to enter into the relationship - making daniel his guide to modern life, trusting what he said about how things work and being willing to look foolish. as a result, daniel's insults actually sting, and he can't just stop worrying about daniel when he storms off or is self destructive.
he also cries tears of laughter during the chapter.
this time daniel isn't really responsible for the tears. but i think it speaks to how emotionally free he was during that time (like i don't think he was crying tears of laughter with the children of satan, you know?). and the fact that he had home to watch it in, technology he knew how to operate, a companion who would watch it with him over ave over... that's a result of the life he had with daniel.
and so he cries when daniel's dying and cries when he turns daniel. because either way, that life has come to an end.
daniel sees it as the beginning of their life together, and is baffled armand would be upset now they can finally be together forever. but to armand, it's the end of this disastrous, messy period of time that reawakened his heart after being so closed off. and he knows it will never be the same. but he does it anyways, he breaks his one rule even when believing it spelled certain doom for them, because that's how much he'd come to care after everything. and in the moment of truth, the depth of his true feelings - the fact he could care so much, that after years of misery he actually wanted to live now, and he only wanted to live if daniel did - that still surprises him.

I love Rhysand. He loves Feyre so much. He loves his IC so much. He always puts himself in the line of danger first before anyone else and has defended and will defend Velaris until his last breath. He is such a selfless character. How anyone can look at Tamlin, an abusive asshole (which is an understatement) and think he's the one is mind boggling. This goes both for Rhysand and Tamlin but did we not read the same man in acomaf? Rhysand makes a point of always giving Feyre a choice. Nothing is ever decided for her - it is HER choice. Tamlin dictates her entire existence whilst she is stuck in the Spring Court and orchestrates her being dragged back.
If I've said it once I will say it again, Tamlin slander and Feysand love is what I am here for.

Please pray for my family. Two days ago we lost my great uncle and yesterday we lost my Aunt’s second husband.
My great uncle passed away in public beside his wife. She’s understandably distraught. My younger aunt and her family are taking his daughter home to help.
My older Aunt’s husband was supposed to have several more weeks, if not months, and passed suddenly yesterday right before my mom came to visit. My Aunt is… she’s not taking it well. She’s lost two husbands in less than 10 years and her coping method is to run away. My mom stayed with her last night,
Please pray for my family, my Aunt and Great Aunt in particular, that they may find comfort and consolation in this time of grief and still find joy this holiday season with the family we still have.
And pray for the repose of the soul for both my Great Uncle Charlie and for Allen.
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

I haven't seen a single person talk about the callback to ACOTAR with the paint being all over Feyre's body and how it was turned into something beautiful and liberating in ACOMAF.
I'm disappointed in all of you.
