Bram is very girl coded, he just wants to listen to music and sleep. Can’t tell what time it is but when he talks about the passage of time it’s by the positions of stars in the night sky. Always gets interrupted by an old man. Forced to spread a contagious vampire infection throughout the world’s population. He is very bored. I rest my case.
i’m loosing my fucking mind. no actually i’ve Lost my fucking mind because when ronan is helping to restrain adam in the whole demon takeover fiasco ronan whispers “forsan et haec olim meminisse iuvabit” (“maybe we'll be laughing about even these things in the future.”) in his hearing ear. and ronan saying that is finally what relaxes adam.
and as if that wasn’t enough for one chapter ORPHAN GIRL THEN COMES AND GIVES ADAM BACK HIS WATCH AND GIVES HIS ARM A LITTLE KISS. THE SAME WATCH THAT ADAM GAVE HER BECAUSE HE KNEW WHAT IT MEANT TO BE SCARED AND ALONE IN A NEW PLACE AND FINDS TIME AND BEING AWARE OF TIME TO BE COMFORTING AND A CONFORMATION OF HIS AUTONOMY AND WANTED TO GIVE HER THAT SAME COMFORT.
sorry for yelling but it’s been a big night and as previously established i have lost my mind.
Honestly we could REALLY get into the fact that a lot of the insanity in Acotar is an excellent exercise in why you can't really separate the art from the author.
Sjm's zionism is OBVIOUS in the text. The ic destabilize governments to the detriment of people they will never have to care for, steal artifacts from other countries, displace people, cause invasions, commit war crimes for 50 years "for the greater good" all while their own people are living under unchecked brutality and poverty.
They are rich megalomaniacs that care for no one but themselves and their own emotional and material satisfaction and they are PRAISED for it. In fact anyone who even remotely disagrees with the IC is almost always one of the villains in the story (Beron, Tamlin, etc) as if to condition the reader that asking questions that are critical of the IC puts you on the wrong side of the narrative morally.
Okay something I just noticed on my billionth rewatch but like….
Jess makes a point to insist “this isn’t about him!…this is about you, Rory!” talking about what’s up with her & where she’s at and it’s the final catalyst for really thinking about it. Amd when she voices it to Logan like, I think I may not be happy with my choice, and he makes it about him. The “don’t blame me, you chose this…don’t you dare blame me.” And the thing is….she doesn’t. Because it’s not about him it’s about her! And Jess can see that but Logan can’t.
Okay but Jason constantly worrying that king Midas would uncross his legs on his throne (since he was in a bathrobe) and was hoping that Midas was wearing golden underwear inside will never not be funny to me. Jason, you have amnesia bud, get your mind out of the gutter.
Naddpod has a lot of emotional moments but Moonshine reassuring Telaine and then bringing her to Melora's demiplane "as if i were leading her onto the dancefloor" will floor me EVERYTIME
