Note

I know that Feyre is the main character and therefore she is ✨speshul✨ but it’s so cringe when she (and Rhys) acts like she is qualified enough to go around giving the IC orders. And it’s confusing as to why none of the inner circle had any objections to a 19 year old that couldn’t read/has no political education or even Night Court history knowledge being their superior because she dated Rhys for a few months.

It’s not rude of Azriel to not listen to Feyre or take her orders seriously because … she doesn’t know better than him. He’s been doing his job for centuries and to have to take orders from a newbie is really annoying. And just because Rhys is a bad ruler doesn’t mean that Feyre should be a ruler either. Or just because Rhys inherited the throne, doesn’t mean Feyre should get it either. It would be so much more meaningful if she actually worked and studied and wanted to became High Lady and have that title not because a man gave it to her.

Like Miss Vivienne is right there, who helped make sure the Winter Court stayed afloat for 50 years and she isn’t High Lady. Feyre being the first High Lady is so shallow

I totally get what you're saying - someone who is 20, barely learned how to read, has never been formally educated, didn't even grow up in an environment where she could accidentally learn about politics and economics and social issues... it's a lot.

But that's not how leaders are chosen in Prythian anyway. I think a lot of Feyre's political and social capital comes from freeing Prythian from Amarantha. To the IC, she freed them from being stuck in Velaris and unable to see Rhys. For the rest of Prythian, the courts who collaborated with Amarantha no longer have to compromise, and those who rebelled against her no longer have to fear her. She was in power for 49 years - they were Tired.

Enter Feyre, who is an underdog in every sense of the word. She frees them all from a tyrant, and ends up fated to be mates of the most powerful High Lord in history? I can see them thinking that the pieces fell into place because of ~magic~, which they put a lot of faith and stock in. Feyre didn't just wander around until Rhys took her in acomaf.

This is why acotar is, while not people's favorite of the series, still super important to remember! Lucien was a different character, Feyre went through a ton of shit. Feyre, like Nesta and Elain, is not just who she fucks. (Don't get me started on the take I saw the other day about her only being a complete character in conjunction with Rhys.)

I do think that Feyre swings way too wildly in the opposite direction at the beginning of acowar, being too aggressively "I'm a spy now!" I cannot stand her actions in the beginning of that book, and I think they show her shortsightedness when it comes to politics and how the courts work together. They are still dealing with the repercussions of what she did then. So she's not faultless, but she's definitely more than "illiterate hunter girl who ends up fucking Tamlin and Rhys". Characterizing her that way ignores pretty much everything she went through in acotar/maf.

I think Az pushing back against Feyre is more about Az's mental state, and not about Feyre being right or wrong. If she were wrong, then she and Rhys would have had a conversation about that - he wouldn't have backed her up, ultimately. He's not going to protect his wife's ego at the expense of the safety of his people. But anyway, Az argues with Rhys a lot as well, and that's not because Rhys doesn't know what he's talking about.

JAMICH

JAMICH by Danny Caing Date Written: March 6, 2020

Scene 1 THE INSPIRATION

May 22, 2014, @ GMC Thursday Breaktime 3:28 PM

It was Thursday afternoon I was watching on the youtube channel, when I suddenly came across a program about a Girlfriend Proposes To Her Boyfriend (Jamich Proposal https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N29dKoxjHf4) at Jamich TV. I was astonished and heartily touched by their dramatic performances. I thought this was just one of their show like movies of Mandy Moore's A Walk To Remember, Ali Macgraw's Love Story and Lelee Sobieski's Here On Earth. I was sad to know that Jam has lung cancer. Right there on then, I wrote the song Sabi Mo Mahal Mo Ako, and later I change the title of the song called JAMICH for Jam Sebastian and Mich Liggayu Love Team.

Scene 2 THE FIRST OFFICIAL PERFORMANCE

July 19, 2014, @ Funky Monkey Bar, Q.C. Saturday 8:32 PM

Laykern Wredd of RADYO Band contacted me on the phone and invited me to join the PINOY WOODSTUCK gig event, a night with Arts show and Musical Talents of the underground bands like Howler Flowers, Roy Antonio, Alasmedya, Malaya, Trigger Happy, Lnguaje, ANO-Pilipinas, Earpens, and an American Wallpaint Artist - RAVEN. Good music, vibes, and drinks. This was the first time I sang the song Jamich live in public.

Scene 3 THE RECORDING SESSION

August 21, 2014, @ Funky Monkey Bar, Q.C., Thursday 8:23 PM

"REMEMBER... IT'S ALL ABOUT HISTORY" by Proud & Loud Production and Rakrakan Na Tayo, featuring - Lazaro, Radyo, Laculus, Kashmir, Godzilla Versus Tokyo, Hoodlum, Danny Caing, Earpens and MAIA.

It was Norman Buena, the drummer of Hoodlum, who suggested to write as many songs as I can, record them and then post them on the internet. At that time I have composed 70 songs in which I was able to create an album called Spiral Echoes that consists of 39 songs. So, I told him that I have this new song Pila Dito Pila Doon, which might be a first good try for serious recording. After two months, we were able to set an appointment date for recording at Audiofonix Recording Studio on October 17, 2014, Friday 2:38 PM. The Studio was managed & owned by Gino Rafael of Trapeze Band. During the recording session, Norman, as the Recording Editor, proposed to me to record Jamich instead of Pila Dito Pila Doon. It took us 45 minutes to finalize Jamich acoustic song track, and then we have some pizza & drinks. I got the mp3 copy and posted it in Reverbnation (https://www.reverbnation.com/dannycaing) the following day. I wish to thank Gino & Norman for this unforgettable experience, it was an honor.

Scene 4 THE MUSIC VIDEO

February 18, 2015, @ Tremolo Music Bar, Mandaluyong City Wednesday 8:32 PM

Khakara Production and Tremolo Music Bar invited me to join the lineup performers on LOVE OUT LAUGH acoustic night gig with RJ Sun, Sacred Foyer, Gibb Capiral, Edward, Theresa Mae, Warren & Carl of Ww Are Living Aahes (WALA), Ruzkaya, Falling Debris, Raffleesia, MJ Legaspi, Talaarawan, Missing Since Thursday, and hosted by Vince Recafrente.

Joeman Papilla, Manager of Khakara Production, approached me and introduced a young student Film Director, John Angelo Sergio of Tercera Productions under VIDPROD class from Asia Pacific College, requested that his team plans to make a music video of my Jamich song as their midterm project and without hesitation, I immediately approved his request.

JOHN SERGIO: What can we give you in exchange for this favor?

DUKE: Nothing, John. I am just happy to know that you are going to make a music video of Jamich. It's awesome.

JOHN SERGIO: Thank you so much, Sir Duke. We will invite you once the music video is premiered in our school.

DUKE: I wish I could sing this song to Jam, you know.

JOHN SERGIO: That could be arranged, Sir Duke. Jam family is our neighbor and friend.

From that moment, I never thought John was serious about what he just told me. I can never forget this brief meeting.

Scene 5 THE UNEXPECTED MEETING WITH JAM

February 21, 2015, @ Mang Rudy's Grill Makati on February 21, 2015 Saturday 8:32 PM. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oyvvfgH3ptc

5 PM: I have a big event that night, BAWAL SIMANGOT by Red Button Production, performing live with one of my favorites underground artists- Peso Movement, Jose At Musika, Consolidar, Black Wolf Gypsies, Tree Of Soul, Crab And Corn, Danny Caing, Injent, Fiasco project, Induljencia, A Series Of Fractions, Lem David, Izkala, WetDogi, and Blackboard.

While I was rehearsing in my room and preparing my things for tonight's gig show, my cellphone rang.

JOHN SERGIO: Good afternoon, Sir Duke. I have good news for you. We have arranged your meeting with Jam tonight at 6 PM, please be there on time in the lobby of St. Luke Hospital in Global City. My mother will meet you there.

DUKE: Wow! Thank you so much, John. God is good all the time.

JOHN SERGIO: Please don't forget to bring your guitar and a letter to Jam. I told them that you are going to sing your song Jamich to Jam. Good luck and God bless.

6 PM @ St. Luke's Hospital, Global City Saturday

When I arrived in the lobby at St. Luke, Mrs. Elvi Sergio (mother of John) was already there to meet me and escorted me to Jam's room. I could not believe that I will be meeting Jam Sebastian, one of the leading men on the very popular indie film called JAMICH at YouTube. Inside the room, there were few guests, close friends & relatives of the family including Jam's mother Ma'am Maricar. Later, Mrs. Charilyn Pajo (who arranged this meeting through Ma'am Elvi) and her daughter Maria Isabel arrived with 2 Jamich fans Jalai & Joseph Ahamil. After giving my letter to Jam, I explained to him about Jesus Words to feel His Words in his thoughts and pray the Lord's Prayer. We all prayed 3 Our Fathers for Jam and asked our Lord Jesus Christ to heal Jam's sickness. I touched Jam's forehead and asked him to repeat what I was about to say:

DUKE: Jesus Christ I need You. I open the door of my heart for my Savior and my Lord. Please take control of the throne of my life and make me the kind of person you want me to be. Thank you, Jesus Christ, for the forgiveness of my sins. I love You, Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ You are my personal Savior.

I could not believe I was singing Jamich in front of Jam, I tried to hold back my tears when I saw the expression of Jam's face, but I know deep in my heart, Jam will be fine in the hands of our Lord Jesus. Then, Jam requested me to sing more, so I sang one Beatle song called I NEED YOU, then the last song was one of my songs LIKE THE TUNE OF THIS SONG.

Like The Tune Of This Song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QGdo_A1Bxlo

I wish to thank John Angelo Sergio, the Director of the music video JAMICH and the Tercera Production crew who were shooting that day at Hagonoy, Bulacan for making this meeting with Jam possible, John's mother Mrs. Elvi Sergio and her friend Mrs. Charilyn Pajo. It's been an honor and great pleasure to meet you Jam Sebastian and Ma'am Maricar and to all the friends, fans and love ones who were inside the room. Likewise, thank you so much, Mrs. Elvi Sergio, for taking the 3 historical live music videos. This is one of my unforgettable experiences. I love you all for a million billion years.

Scene 6 THE UNEXPECTED CALL

March 4, 2015 Hightek Production & Entertainment Presents: SWABE NIGHTS VOLUME 7 @ SaGuijo Makati Wednesday.

Guest Performers: Sentido, Pop U, Jeeps Over Taxis, Suicidal Genius, Project Based, Mutya, Pernella, Summer Project, and Danny Caing.

7 PM: I was celebrating a birthday dinner with my brother Dr. Dino Caing at Max Fried Chicken in Glorieta Makati. I was also excited that night because it was my first gig performance at SaGuijo, a well-known place for the famous underground Pilipino independent bands & artists. Suddenly, my cellphone rings and it was Goo Aurellia, Highteck Production Manager and Sentido frontman.

GOO: Good evening Sir Duke. Where are you, now?

DUKE: I'm with my brother, Goo. I'm sorry that I'm going to be late.

GOO: Press people are looking for you here, from ABS/CBN. They want an interview with you regarding your song Jamich.

DUKE: Why would they do that? What's up, Goo?

GOO: They told me that Jam Sebastian died this morning.

DUKE (something hit in my stomach): Jam. Died this morning. I'm sorry Goo, I cannot go to SaGuijo right now. I'll make this up to you. Please tell them that I cannot attend the gig tonight. I'm so sorry.

DINO (my brother): Who is Jam Sebastian, bro?

I accompanied my brother to MIA-3 that night instead. I just told him that the gig show was postponed. When my brother entered the Departure Area. I took a taxi home, while on the way to Skyway, I prayed 3 Our Father for Jam's soul to rest in peace with our Lord Jesus Christ. Jam was just almost 29 years old. Life goes on.
