Let me know if you want to be added 🥰

I searched for Feysand x reader all over tumblr and you were one of the top creators so I looked around and fell into the rabbit hole of masterlists… I’ve been on your page for hours now and i’m not tired at all.

And I saw your request were open and i’m so happy bc I wanted to ask if i could request feysand x reader where feyre and reader are pregnant at the same time. Like we all know how protective rhys was in the books, now imagine two mates at the same time. Like his instincts wouldn’t let anyone too close to them bc his mates are in vulnerable situations. Maybe someone like Beron or Tamlin jokes around and Rhys doesn’t handle it well or smth plssss🧎‍♀️🧎‍♀️🧎‍♀️🧎‍♀️🧎‍♀️

Double Trouble

Feysand x reader

A/n: omg thank you 😭😭 I get nervous that I write too much and that ppl will get sick of me lol. So thank you for reading my fics 💕

Warnings: Tamlin being a douche

Rhys has been more paranoid since you and Feyre both started showing. The revelation of both you being pregnant excited and frightened him at the same time. Causing his over protective mate instincts to kick in. The two of you had tried to get him to rest knowing he had a High Lords meeting coming. But the stubborn male insisted he was fine.

A few times when you got up to pee in the middle of the night - a new routine thanks to your pregnancy - you found Rhys wide awake. He would watch over you and Feyre like a hawk until he fell asleep sitting up.

Yesterday Rhys had insisted he could skip the meeting and just stay with the two of you. It was a day long battle for a compromise. “Rhysand. We will be fine here with Amren watching over us and Nyx.” Feyre said sternly as Rhys came to tell you he changed his mind about your plans, again.

He shook his head vehemently, “Nope. I need to be here.” You rubbed at the bridge of your nose, squeezing your eyes shut and willing your mate to go away. “What will it take to get you to go to this meeting?” You sighed out.

Feyre perked up, wiggling her fingers, “Oh, I have an idea! What if we come with you. Helion can have a room for us, Cass, Az, and Mor will be there, it’ll be so easy.”

You could tell Rhys was considering it from the pensive look on his face. And he didn’t immediately shut Feyre down.

He nodded, mumbling out ‘I’ll think about it’ before heading back to his office.

You shoot Feyre a knowing look, “You just want those bonbons Helion gets.” “Yes! I’ve been craving them for months. And I want them fresh, not in a box.”

Snuggling up next to your mate on the couch you place a hand on her bump. Feyre does the same to you, resting her forehead against yours. “I don’t blame you,” you giggle out, “I’m happy I get to experience this with you Fey. Even if Rhys is being a mother hen.” She lightly pecked your lips. “Me too y/n/n. I love you”

———

Thankfully Rhys had agreed to you two coming along to the Day Court and you’d spend the night. Winnowing took a lot of energy from you and Feyre, so Rhys was adamant about you two resting as much as possible.

Before leaving you all gave Nyx hugs and kisses. He would stay with Elain and Nesta while you were gone. He hated when you left but enjoyed his time with Aunty Lain.

Winnowing to the Day palace Helion was waiting to greet you. “You’re the first to arrive.” He said cheerfully. The two High Lords shook hands as Helion guided your little group inside. Cassian offered his arm to Feyre while Az offered you his.

“I set up a very comfortable room for you two to relax in. No meeting for you, I’m sure there’s enough stressful things around you these days.” He says, eyeing Rhys. “Thank you Helion.” You say sweetly. “And you got our snack requests?” Feyre asks.

Helion throws his head back, laughing at her blunt question. “Of course I did. You’ll find you are well stocked on any foods your hearts desire.” You and Feyre smile at each other knowing you’re about to have the best snack and relax sesh.

You walked Rhys to the meeting room, like you promised, before leaving him. He takes one of your hands in his, giving you both a loving look. “Do you need anything? What can I do for you before everyone gets here?” “Nothing my love.” Feyre says softly. You bring a hand up to caress his cheek, “We’re just fine baby. You focus, do your thing and help Prythian, yeah?”

He gives you and Feyre a quick kiss before Helion’s personal guard escorts you to your rooms.

Opening the door your senses are overwhelmed by the scent of the sweet treats spread out for you. You and Feyre look at each other licking your lips in excitement. You wasted no time sprawling out on the lounges, digging into whatever was in arms reach.

Hours later Rhys, Cass, Az, and Mor joined you. Rhys was overjoyed to see you two after being separated. “You should’ve seen him when Kal asked where you were. He snarled.” Cassian teases as Rhys nudges his way to sit between you and Feyre. “I did not.”

Mor rushed over to you, lightly placing a hand on each of your bellies. “How are both Mor juniors doing.” You giggle at the blonde, “They have been perfect little angels.”

“No discomfort, extreme fatigue, or -“ “Rhys, we were fine.” Feyre cuts him off. He seems to relax at that. The tension in his shoulders loosening as he bats Mor away so he can feel the babes kick. Rhys lets out a breathy laugh as little feet push against his palms. “Hi angels, did you miss daddy?” Two more kicks in response.

The babes love the sound of Rhys’s voice. Like with Nyx, he talks to them every night. It doesn’t matter if you and Feyre are awake or asleep, he will always make time for the babes.

“Don’t forget,” Azriel speaks up from his spot in an armchair. He’s picking at a bowl of chocolates you hadn’t gotten to yet. “We have dinner in about an hour with everyone.” Rhys wasn’t pleased by the reminder. Something tells you that he was never going to tell you and Feyre about dinner.

Feyre stands, pulling you with her. “We will go get ready then.” She says happily.

You exit the bedroom with a few minutes to spare. Feyre chose a glittering black dress that hung off her shoulders. She decided to leave her crown behind for the night, putting her hair half up with small braids meeting in the middle.

You had decided on a midnight blue dress specked with pearls. The flowing fabric on both your dresses not hiding the fact that you’re pregnant. Rhys eyed the two of with lust sparkling in those iridescent violet irises.

He offers you each an arm to walk down to dinner. Rhys walks at slow pace for the two of you. When Feyre noticed she rolled her eyes and you both pulled him along. When the six of you enter the grand dining room you feel eyes on you. Thankfully not autumn ones. Azriel told you Beron and his court left after the meeting was over. Very typical of Beron to come and complain then leave, making no effort to improve court relations.

Viviane and Thesan shriek in excitement at the sight of you. “Congratulations! How did I not know?” She said excitedly. “When are you due?” Thesan asks immediately after her. The pair continue their onslaught of questions as you answered before the next question came up.

Out of the corner of your eye you could see Tamlin tensing. Clearly unhappy about the topic of conversation. Feyre and Rhys caught on to his unhappiness as well. Feyre tried to change the topic, asking Thesan about how things were going with his lover.

Tamlin and Rhys made uncomfortable eye contact. The males looked like they were about to jump across the table at each other. Rhys pulled your chair closer to him so you’d be away from Tamlin. He was across the table diagonal from you. It’s not like you were that close him but if it made Rhys feel better.

“Do you have something you’d like to say, Tamlin?” Rhys snapped. The High Lord of Spring scoffs, a wicked smirk on his face. “Well I just think it quite odd they’re both pregnant. Why on earth would you want two more.”

Everyone stopped speaking, looking anywhere but at them. Even you and Feyre looked at the table. You could tell she was fuming about Tamlin’s joking tone. “Is that an insult about my son? Or perhaps you’re angry about your situation. If you need to talk about it I’m sure you can find someone who will listen.” Rhys gave him a fake smile and went back to his meal.

Conversation slowly started up again. Tamlin excused himself, only saying goodbye to Helion before stepping out into the hallway to winnow home.

Once back in your rooms for the evening Rhys had you and Feyre cuddled up on either side of him. “Thank you for standing up for our family.” Feyre whispered. “I always will darling. You’re the most important people in the whole world to me.”

You let out a yawn and snuggle close to Rhys. “Let’s get some sleep. This little angel is kicking me for some shut eye.” “This one too.” Feyre yawns out. “Awww, I’m sorry I’m keeping your mommy’s up.” Rhys whispers. He kisses both of your bumps as you drift off.

I love the theory of Elain going to Spring to restore it, but didn’t Sarah say she’s interested in exploring every court except for Spring? I though I heard something like that in an interview

What SJM said (Live Talks LA with Eva Chen), when asked which court she'd like to visit, is she'd like to visit all of them except for the fact that certain courts have High Lords who are "douches" (like Autumn and Spring).

But that's why she's set the series up the way she has, right? Where Beron is a man on borrowed time and Eris is looking to take over Autumn.

Where Tamlin isn't getting better and continues to ignore his people.

I think it's safe to say she's not leaving Spring under the leadership of somehow who neglects it's citizens and ignores the lawlessness there.

I think it's safe to say she's not leaving Autumn under the rule of someone who tortures his son and abuses his wife.

And that's why I think SJM has dropped the crumbs she has for Elain, Lucien, and Eris. They will be the ones to make the Spring and Autumn Courts better places.

Was Rhys originally supposed to be the bad guy in ACOTAR? Someone said it was retconned and so the existence of Velaris and its people happened after the first book. I’m not sure if this is true or if it’s just anti Rhys stans. This is me genuinely curious.

Nope! He was not. Sjm is on the record as saying that she planted the seeds showing that Tamlin was actually Not Okay in acotar and wanted to see how people reacted to that subtle (again, not okay) shifting of boundaries. The reason I mention Tamlin is because I assume that this argument is tied to him, saying his character was ruined so that Rhys could get the old switcheroo. And nope! That’s not at all the case.

I have a post where I outline all of the evidence that Tamlin was not a great guy in acotar. I’ll try to find and reblog it. @xnightwolfx also had a post from before acomaf came out explaining the signs she saw the Rhys wasn’t a douche. And as soon as I get the screenshot of sjm saying she planned those two to be that way, I’ll reblog this and post it! But rest assured that your instinct was correct, it probably is someone who just dislikes Rhys.

I’ve sort of stopped posting rant peices because meh I feel like everything that’s needed to be said has been said but I just kind of caught myself analyzing SJM’s writing after my reread of the Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes and it led me to a comparison that somewhat allowed me to pin point why I just couldn’t really get into Feyre’s character. This is not anti Feyre before people get carried away but I do suggest you ignore this post if you’re a diehard fan even if it’s mostly an SJM critique.

For context during my first read of acotar I was a hardcore Hunger Games fan (the books because I loathe the movies). I’m talking obsessed since even before Mockingjay, the book, came out. And so Feyre somewhat gave me Katniss vibes with the whole bow and arrow/hunting theme but I say somewhat because the whole theme was ditched after the first few pages of acotar. Which isn’t a problem I mean they’re two different characters, two different stories, two different genres. (Note: absolutely no one can compare to Katniss. Additionally, Sarah can’t compare to Suzanne. But that’s just me) So the reason I still chose to do this comparison is because it sort of helped me understand why I could obsess over one character but reject the other when they hold similar traits. I think the best way I could describe it is from the beginning Suzanne Collins created a distinction between the protagonist and the situation which is so important because this allows the reader to understand details of characters surrounding Katniss and her demise while also understanding the responses she has to them as her own character. Maybe a bit confusing so let me give an example. It is explained why certain characters play a hand in Katniss’s demise like her mother, the tributes, her mentors etc very clearly, as in, we can grasp all the tragedies of their own while also understanding Katniss’s response to them separate than the readers eg. Katniss never being able to forgive her mother’s neglect at the same time that the reader understands the mother had untreated depression, the Careers trying to kill her with malicious intent but also understanding they’re basically puppets of the Capitol, Haymitch being a detoriating alcoholic she finds culpable for the lack of District winners but also knowing it’s his only way to cope with his ptsd. Anything about those characters after that is character development from what was already clearly established, more examples: the reveal of Finnick Odair’s promiscuity then learning he was being sold for sex, realizing Johanna’s lack of self preservation is because everyone she loved was murdered, and basically the whole entire book for President Snow’s character in The Balllad of Songbirds and Snakes which wasn’t even a redemption story it was just— 🤌

Whereas Sarah decides to bring up things at random when readers are suppose to have already made up their minds about Feyre’s demise. Cue in Tamlin going from having decent qualities to sudden complete douche, Nesta’s spiteful comments to suddenly she’ll save her, Lucien being a friend to suddenly he’s in debted to her, heck even —no especially Rhys’s ‘did bad things but turns out they were all for the greater good’ characterization throughout the books and everything he does is fine because of it. Because SJM uses Feyre as a way to make the readers believe how bad/good so and so is vs Suzanne who uses Katniss to provide to readers how Katniss believe’s so and so is. Then the way Sarah throws vague cryptic things to make characters seem traumatized which I’d go as far as to say is cringe borderline disrespectful the way they seem to be presented just for ‘aesthetic’ purposes instead of the very real things those topics entail (I’m looking at you Nesta’s SA plus others) but that’s another topic, I’m derailing.

Which is why I will definitely always say that from the very beginning of acotar the whole Elain and Nesta constituting Feyre’s wicked family trope fell extremely flat to me. Like I was completely unbothered— I couldn’t even bring myself to dislike them because it felt almost too obvious the way they were written plus the lack of explanation as to why?? There is this disconnection because sjm doesn’t clearly explain their behavior until way later which results in just a weird retcon type situation. Not only that but she goes on to build from it giving the sisters more importance in the series.

But whatever, that’s just my opinion. Which I’m sure has been said before in different terms.

Yet still I enjoyed Feyre book 1, although, as I made myself complete the series it seems by acosf she’s almost entirely different except for her self sacrificing qualities that tend to remain in all MC’s. I mean I really don’t think Feyre book 1 or maybe even book 2 would’ve let Rhys get away with that horrid pregnancy trope thing going on but 🤷🏻‍♀️ I’m not the owner of any of these characters so. In the end she’s an okay character to me, she’s a determined, loving person, but I just wouldn’t consider her a fave of mine.

I read Shadow and Bone recently after watching the show and there are so many things that I don't like about both the show and the books but one thing I like is how Leigh built a world that's so much more interesting and while the theme of oppression isn't handled very well imo, she still at least tries to make the story have a damn plot unlike ACOTAR that's literally just smut smut and more smut. And I feel like Cassian in SF and Mal have some similarities in the way they're douches to their gfs and keep holding then back but Cassian is a lot more worst coz he's literally 500 years old and Mal is a young teenage orphan kid with lots of issues and trauma. Also, I like how Leigh made Darkling actually evil. It is what makes him such a compelling character and gives him a lot more nuance unlike Sara Mess who makes Rhysand do shit in book 1 that not even the darkling did and still absolve him of all of it because of some dumb fucking reason. Imagine how interesting ACOTAR would be if like The Darkling, Rhys was actually an evil little shit. He's gotten soooo boring and sappy now because Maas keeps trying to make him the ✨perfect✨ man- sorry male who neverrr did anythingggg wrong! It ruined him completely and made Feysand boring after ACOMAF. Darklina are so much more interesting because there's a conflict between them and none of them just give up their everything to adopt the other one's world views. Feysand on the other hand is just Feyre getting all of her personality murdered and her role reduced to just ✨painting✨ while her insufferable husband gives orders to present her sister to their rival. Like it still fucking infuriates me that he did that without telling Feyre. Book 1 Feyre would've beaten him up she was grumpy and grouchy and talked back to Tamlin all the time. Even acowar feyre snapped at Rhys when he made fun of nesta's temper so that scene in SF pissed me off. To conclude Leigh Bardugo >>> SJM

I agree, anon. I always think I'd like Rhys more if he was actually evil and allowed to do evil things rather than the whole narrative bending over backwards to absolve him of any guilt and explaining how actually those people are worse so Rhys is just an angel doing his best. I didn't like Feyre at all from the start and wanted to put the books down because of her - funnily, I actually perked up when Rhys arrived because I thought ooo evil villain guy. However, book 1 Feyre didn't have her brain turned to scrambled egg by him so actually would have stood up for herself and not let him tread all over her. The few times Feyre shows resistance to Rhys, it's ignored or swept away with seduction. It's so gross!!!

I think someone should write a modern ficlet where Nesta decides to key Tamlins car with Emerie and Gwyn because of what she learns he did to Feyre (probably cheated or something in this au) but they accidentally key Cassian’s car instead which is the same model and color and everything. In the same lot. And Cassian’s like… I understand because that guy is a douche but his car is over there.

Of course it could follow up with some cliche rom com plot where Nesta has no money and to escape the enforcement of the law and on behalf of her friends because she’s self sacrificial she decides to make it up to Cassian in very specific ways that put them in constant space with each other.

OR and I like this better, Cassian is rich and chaotic and so he doesn’t really care too much about the car, he’s like… okay let’s go key his car now. I’ll help 😊 and so Nesta’s like hmm I think I like this guy and as fate would have it they keep showing up at the same places. He’s since gotten a new car.

Feyre girlies love you! Ignore those hags they’re just pressed their faves are being called out on a daily and that they can’t run with the delusional narratives they’ve been spinning for years. People are finally checking them on their bs so they’re trying to come for us and it’s so funny to watch 💕

SJM should’ve BEEN called her fandom out for being intentionally wrong about her heroine and I kinda blame her for it continuing for so long that her fandom turned into this. Authors always speak out when it gets bad she’s the only one who doesn’t. Prob cause she can’t handle seeing critique of work she knows is flawed or something, but still. Even GRRM speaks out about fandom takes that are delusional, Leigh bargdugo, Holly Black, etc.

Aw thanks babe! I love all of the Feyre girlies. And you're right, so many of their takes are just massive stretches of the text that you can't even take them seriously. They're such pseudo intellectuals it's genuinely funny. There are some Nesta stans who dislike the ic and much prefer the valks and hessian that I don't really mind? Yk they still have genuine enjoyment of the series and maybe are a pinch delulu but that's fine, but certain individuals are just so fucking ridiculous. I can't even understand them because they don't like any of the characters, they don't like the writing, they don't like any plot choice made in any of the books, they won't like any future books, they won't like any future plot choices made, they think every single ship is abusive, they think the narrative is against them and that they know better, they think that the characters they like being the ones considered to be bad people is wrong because the narrative (the author of the books made a decision they don't agree with) is wrong. They're really just.. pathetic people? I feel genuine pity for those bloggers. They're so hateful and angry and will never have a good time reading these books. They think they're doing people a service by spreading the good word that these books are bad and pointing out their issues with them, and I get that to a point. But these are blogs that have talked about the same things for YEARS. They dedicate hours of their time to this, to being hateful and bitter crybabies whining about how pathetic everyone else is, all while disguising themselves as thoughtful. It's one thing to make a few posts about why you hate these books, to leave a nasty scalding review on goodreads slamming it and people who enjoy it, but making thousands of posts doing so? Very very deranged.

Sorry for that little rant, I definitely agree with the second part, but only to an extent. Cause the thing is SJM has shared her thoughts on certain things, she just doesn't frame it in a way that comes off as correcting readers. Her saying things like "Tamlin is a douche", "I'd never want to go to the SC because of Tamlin.", "Nesta dislikes Rhys because she doesn't understand him but we know he's actually a great guy." and other related things is her commentary and her subtle corrections of fandom misunderstanding. They just don't care because they hate her and insist she's a biased author for writing her books and her characters the way she intends to.

High Lord of the Spring Court

Tamlin was such a douche that we often forget how beautiful he really was on the outside. I hope he learned a lesson and if not then I hope one of the bat boys teaches it to him. Id love for a redemption arc. A second chance for making amends, forgiveness and growth.

ok now I'm thinking about it and a Nessian dirty dancing AU would slap

Nesta as the ambitious, bookworm daughter of a wealthy family

Cassian as the working class dance instructor

Feyre abortion plot (maybe the douche who knocks her up is Tamlin)

The push-pull in their relationship with Papa Archeron omg

JUST THINK OF THE FANART WE COULD GET OF THE LIFT AT THE END

Damn, they really turned Tamlin into a dick in this book. Don’t get me wrong, he definitely had his Moments in the first one, but it came off as more “this guy spends more time as a beast than actually talking to people so he has no social skills” rather than “this guy is a controlling, possessive douche bag.”

The official explanation is that Under the Mountain changed him, but it feels more like he was written worse in the second one to make Rhysand look like the better love interest.

Tamlin, basically assaulting Feyre on Calanmai while at the same time proceeding to tell her that, since she was not available, he f*cked someone else.

What a douche.

Look I ship Elriel but I would be fine with Elucien. I don't really care that much I'm just tired of waiting and want a book YESTERDAY.

Ik we likely won't agree on who Elain ends up with, but can we at least agree on who she WON'T end up with?

*Cough*

The TAMLAIN shippers? They are crazy. Please tell me you can at least agree with that one? Idk your stance on Tamlin, but even theories have a limit. I don't know in what world Elain would end up with her sister's ex who literally trapped her in a house 🙄

Why do people hate elain so much that they want her to end up alone when she has not one but two love interests at the moment, or they want her to end up with a guy SJM literally called an asshole several times? weird weird weird !

The Tamlain ship is very disturbing to me too. These are HEA romance books and that HEA does not just mean a HEA for the main couple. I truly do not think Sarah would write the story of Tamlin and Elain, where their pairing would cause so much hurt for the others who are supposed to have found their happily ever afters. Tamlin joining Elain to celebrate Nyx's birthday and Rhys and Feyre's house? Tamlin, having verbally and physically assaulted Lucien, ending up with the mate of the male who tried to help TAMLIN'S court to the point he performed the Rite in place of Tamlin with the women who s.xually assaulted him? Tamlin having terrified Nesta and Elain by breaking down their door and kidnapping Feyre, then causing Feyre trauma? I do understand the debates, where Tamlin was also in a bad place and Rhys and Feyre both let him continuing believing in Rhys's lies, however that doesn't change Feyre's perception of the past. She feels Tamlin caused her mental harm and while I can understand the nuances behind his actions, she should still not be forced to have him as a part of family get togethers. I don't think Tamlin is evil and I do think there is a hea for him somewhere out there but when the author is on record as calling Tamlin a douche, that he sucks, and calls Lucien one of her favorite characters, I think the Tamlain ship is going down the exact river the Brycriel shippers are now sailing.

I too am one of those who don't care what the characters have done in the past. Everyone makes bad desicions and that's bot without reason! I have long forgiven Nesta and Elain for letting Feyre hunting (I must say, it's kinda unfair how only Nesta was blamed for that). Lucien was in a bad place and couldn't do much when he was under Tamlin's control. Even though he did enough instead of just "standing there and watch" like some like to claim, he apologized and made up for it. Why still holding it against him? I really don't have the energy for it.

However- it's characters like Rhys who I dislike very much and it isn't because he made some bad desicions as well. I just can't stand characters who get to do whatever they want, get away with everything bad they do and then even get praised for it. Rhys seems to me like a whole bully to everyone who isn't family and who doesn't give him respect, which he doesn't even deserve. I'm also annoyed with the constant "He's the best High lord" "He respects women" "he's so powerful" because his actions does the opposite. Not only that but it seems to me that Feyre is quite overshadowed by him. Someone could ask me "who's the MC of

Uhm.. I accidentially sended that one ask before finishing it, so I just finish it here..

So abother issue I have with Rhys is that he seems to overshadow Feyre. Someone could ask me "who are the MC's of the Tog and CC series?" and I could easily answer with "Aelin is the MC of the Tog series and Bryce of the CC". Even when these books are written in 3rd person and they rather have multiple POVs. However, if someone where to ask me who's the MC of the acotar series, I would hesitate first because it's all Rhys's world and Feyre's is just living in it. She's like a camera to me. In the CC and Tog crossover, Feyre was either just the pregnant women or the women with fricking paint brushes in her hand while Rhys is the all so beautiful and powerful guy who knows everything and is the one who can help Aelin and Bryce to get back to their homes. Even in Feysand's POV, it was all about f*cking him. Rhys is always involved in everyone's business and no one seems to have a problem with it.

That's why I dislike him sooo much. This guy has done, can do and will do everything he wants to do without consequenzes. Either someone else will have to suffer from his consequenzes or his actions are just going to be excused for his good Intentions.

haha I saw the first one before you sent the second half and I was like ohhhhh nooooo...

I feel like I am in mourning for the Rhys we had in acomaf. I don't dislike him across the board because he has done great things, but I'm also like who the fuck is this person in acosf??? I do not recognize him. Rhys in acomaf is wonderful. Rhys in acosf is a douche. Intellectually, I understand what he was doing in acosf and kinda where he was coming from - he was being driven by fear - but emotionally I just cannot wrap my head around it. It's like the difference between knowing something, and believing in it. I know factually what his motives were, I'm just not convinced.

I really don't have the energy for it.

This is so literally me, I just could not care less about hating on things that don't matter, especially things that don't matter in the big picture. And re: Rhys and Tamlin, Rhys "won", if we can call it that. It is just Petty McPettyson to be like that towards Tamlin. Which hey, I've been passive aggressive in my day lmao but again, it's like I understand intellectually why he hates Tamlin, and for a majority of their lives I can totally understand that behavior, but now it's just excessive.

In the CC and Tog crossover, Feyre was either just the pregnant women or the women with fricking paint brushes in her hand while Rhys is the all so beautiful and powerful guy who knows everything and is the one who can help Aelin and Bryce to get back to their homes.

Hmmm, this is an interesting point. We're all wondering who will be involved in all that stuff and why isn't Feyre an option? SJM set it up so that Rhys is the one who was considering another guest appearance as a possibility, but that doesn't mean he could be the *only* one. And in their chapter, he doesn't tell Feyre that that's what he's worried about!

All of the stuff you said in the first paragraph, agreed. I really don't care what these characters have done in the past. Or I do sometimes, but I guess I don't care enough to go on and on about it? Like I could go OFF about how much I dislike Eris, but there are better uses of my time haha.

I'm just here to have a good time. Complaining about things I despise is not a good time, to me.

How are all SJM books so good? Now I wouldn't say I enjoy all the characters or ships I do like some of the main ones but characters from Throne of Glass I really didn't like or their ships are Chalk and or Dorian (I guess Dorian redeemed himself in my eyes later on) I don't think Chalk deserved anyone even in book 4 he was still a huge douche I wanted he to get what he deserved don't know if just me who thinks this way. Tamlin and Chalk are on my shitlist.

Hello anon,

Right? I mean they are not the best out there but it's undeniably good. Like, she can make her readers gets so obsessed/inlove with her works (or characters) or can catch antis who cannot also stop speaking about her and her works lol. And speaking of ToG, this is actually my favorite work of her. And lmaoooo, I think it's really hard to move on from what Chaol had done on the second up to the fifth book of this series. I personally didn't like his character the most (but Dorian is my darling boy lol). Ig, there were two sides in this fandom when it comes to Chaol, those who eventually loved him after reading his book and those who still didn't like his character after his book. And I think both stand are okay since we all have our own thoughts and feelings about certain characters. And I fully agree with you on the Tamlin part lol

Have a great day ahead anon!
