What irks me most about the theory where Tamlin is being said to abdicate his title is the fact that it is tied closely with how he was dragged through the mud by Janet to get there. Acotar Tamlin is not someone who would need to do this at all, we wouldn't even be theorizing such a thing. When the canon portrayal and character assassination is the basis of this theory, it kind of means nothing in the end what anyone thinks because, it's finally Janet's choice what to do with him. And she is so uneven with his characterization, using him as she pleases instead of having any kind of integrity while writing him, its hard to believe logic will play a part in his plot at all. To me, as morbid as this sounds, SJM will no way give Tamlin a path where he abdicates his High Lord status with dignity, she will only do so by killing him or by humiliating him further and that is not something I can ever accept, especially if someone of a different court comes to snag his power and title from him.

Why’s tamlin being pitted against his best friend and some woman he’s met like once enoughhh.leave him alone fr.
I personally hate the Tamlin vs Elucien discourse going around. Tamlin has been pitted against enough people leave him the hell alone challenge. Tamlin x Peace OTP.

I can just imagine Elain and Lucien stuck at an Inn. Lucien is hurt, it is raining, they’re both frustrated. Then it all comes out all at once, all the feelings bottled up after all these years.

“I burn for you. I burn for someone who does not feel the same!”
“You burn for me?” Elain asks, one hand placed over her throat.
“Why do you think I went to find Vassa? With no army, no resources? Completely blind into dangerous territory?” He says in a whisper.
Elain takes a step back, her back hitting the wall, shaking her head in disbelief. “I-”
Lucien lowers his head but takes a step forward, closing in on them. He places a hand on the wall behind them. Elain can feel his heat elapse along his skin.
“I’ve burned for you even before I knew you were my mate. I burned for you when I broke out of those restraints. I’ve burned for you the second I laid my eyes on you.”
There was one single pause, and then Elain felt the tug, his heart, his heat.
“I burn for you.” Elain could not believe she said it, that it finally all came out.

I sometimes forget the IC don’t actually give a fuck about feyre my bad 💀.I do think nesta would be furious and maybeee even azriel ngl.But god It’s so frustrating how the narrative literally gaslights you into thinking he never did anything wrong so by extension all the characters think so too.The biased writing kills me I hate it here.
I sometimes wonder if the IC know what rhys did to feyre UTM,if he ever told them the truth.I highly doubt he came clean about everything and since feyre doesn’t remember much/is delusional because of the mating bond and the IC weren’t there—lucien is the only person who knows the full truth about rhys’s treatment to feyre UTM.I’m almost certain lucien still doesn’t like rhys because of what he saw him do to feyre every night for 3 months straight and rhys is fully aware lucien knows too much and thats why he doesn’t fully trust him.I hope that fact looms over rhysand’s head and he sleeps with one eye open 😊.

Does SJM write her books with her eyes closed bc how did she write feyre saying that and not realize how?? insane ???it sounds ???
“Tell me when you knew,” (Lucien) demanded, his knee pressing into mine. “That Rhysand was your mate. Tell me when you stopped loving Tamlin and started loving him instead.” I chose not to answer. “Was it going on before you even left?” I whipped my head to him, even if I could barely make out his features in the dark. “I never touched Rhysand like that until months later.” “You kissed Under the Mountain.” “I had as little choice in that as I did in the dancing.” “And yet this is the male you now love.”
And yet this is the male you now love.
And yet this is the male you now love.
And yet this is the male you now love.

I simply find it very hard to believe Nesta could ever be happy with someone that loyal to a man who hates her

A very happy birthday to our Taurus queen, Nesta Archeron! 👑 I'm sure she'd spend it with her besties and chosen sisters, Emerie and Gwyn! And I just know that the House would give them all the smuttiest books to read and all the chocolate cake to eat.
A very big thank you to @/michi.illustrations for working with me on this gorgeous commission to celebrate! Do not repost without credit and do not feed into AI programs.

I need him breaking down to vassa and jurian it’s a must.
I need Lucien to snap
This is 100% coming from my need to torture my blorbos but I need Lucien to fucking l o s e I t. He's got so much on his plate with the BoE, the night court, the spring court, Elain, the loss of his friendship with Feyre and Tamlin, his own mental health and any residual trauma from UtM, the war, Ianthe, etc.. I need to see what will be the straw that breaks the camels back and make him flip out on someone (I'm kind of hoping he freaks out at Rhys tbh).

[ STUN ] 🍃 Tamlin 🍃
Tamlin sat by the horse stables, head in his hands. He had not been able to focus for the past month. His best friend and emissary, Lucien, had been gone for far too long. He had recently lost his eye, and the damage was so severe, compounded with Tamlin's loss of power, that he had been unable to restore the eye. Guilt had been his only companion these long, lonely weeks, as Lucien sought out allies in Dawn while also seeking an eye replacement.
It was all his fault. He should've never let Lucien try to contact Amarantha. The blood...Tamlin had vomited at the sight. He had no idea how Lucien had even survived. Tamlin had poured every last bit of his healing magic into him, and other healers had come to help as well. His own nose bled out and he passed out not long afterwards, but he was not about to let Lucien die.
When he'd heard how Lucien had gotten his wound, Tamlin had wanted to laugh and cry at the same time. "For someone so smart, you can be so stupid sometimes," Tamlin had said. Lucien had merely snorted. "Like you're much better? You spat in her face and told her you'd sooner marry a human than her."
Tamlin had difficulty arguing with that logic. "Then I guess we are both intelligent fools."
"Still smarter than you," Lucien had muttered.
But Tamlin knew his friend well. He'd not failed to notice the way he looked at himself in the mirror once he'd recovered. Lucien had grown up in the Autumn Court; he'd grown up taking great care to his appearance, priding himself on it. And Tamlin had taken that from him. Another thing to add to his pile of guilt, he supposed.
Just then, a long, slender hand clasped his shoulder. Tamlin whipped around, shoving the owner of the hand against a wall of the barn, pressing his knife to his throat.
He found a tall man standing there, bronze skin flushed, long red wavy hair flowing down his back and covering his face, his singular brown eye wide as Tamlin bared down on him, death in his stance.
"By the Cauldron, Tam, it's me!" Lucien protested. "Mind dropping the knife?" Tamlin then looked at the other side of his face, where Lucien had lost his eye. A metallic gold orb had taken its place, a brutal scar going from the top of his forehead all the way down to his chin remaining. He scanned his friend's face. Unharmed. His eye replaced. His sass intact.
Breathe.
Tamlin returned his knife to his side, his breathing still ragged. Lucien shoved his hair out of his face, scowling at Tamlin. "What was that for?"
"You just snuck up on me!" Tamlin protested. "I had no way of knowing who you are!"
"Come on, Tam," Lucien chastised. "Don't you know my scent by now?"
Well, he hadn't been paying attention, Tamlin thought. But somehow, something about that statement made him blush. "I-well..." He tried to avoid looking at Lucien's face, but that only meant his eyes drifted to his forearms and his powerful legs, which only made him blush harder.
"Were you zoning out again? Typical oblivious Tam," Lucien teased. "What were you even doing without me?"
"I had less time to myself for sure," Tamlin muttered. He sighed. "I missed you, Lucien."
"That might be the nicest thing you've ever said about me," Lucien drawled, leaning back against the barn wall. Tamlin glared at him. "That can't be true."
"Oh, it is. Because you're absolutely abysmal at compliments. Tell me Tam, what will we do if we find a human? Your flirting skills are awfully rusty."
"No, they're not!" Tamlin growled, but Lucien only chuckled. He walked up to Tamlin and pulled him into a warm hug. "I missed you too, you big oaf."
Tamlin couldn't stop smiling the rest of the day.

i made a post that briefly dipped into the "amarantha was tamlin's mate" theory not long ago, and now that i've seen a handful of posts about it, i like repeating myself, and yelling into the sky while shaking my fist is my favorite hobby, i feel legally obligated to touch on it again (even though no one wants me to).
in my original post i said something about how the theory reeks of victim blaming, and honestly? i stand by it.
people often bring up this theory when talking about tamlin's behavior post-utm. they use it to explain why he was so volatile and why his mental health declined once he killed her and left the mountain or to talk about why amarantha would pursue tamlin at all. its a theory that, at its core, pins amarantha's actions entirely on tamlin.
amarantha was his mate, and the rejection of the bond caused her to snap; amarantha was his mate, so of course he went mad once she was dead; amarantha was his mate, which was why she tore apart prythian for him.
what amarantha was, is full grown. she was a power hungry general who was established in her field. she was mad, obsessive, and the object of her desire was a child who she met through his father.
it is a theory that takes away from tamlin's story, from the impact of the decades of mental abuse and psychological warfare that he underwent by amarantha's hand, and writes it all off as a consequence for him not accepting his abuser's harassment and advances. it makes him responsible for amarantha's wrongdoings, blaming him for her actions because, in the end, tamlin just wasn't a good victim. tamlin didn't square his shoulders and accept the bond to quell her.
