“It’s not SA, he just had her give him a lap dance!”

Do you children know what a lap dance is? Ever given one? Ever gotten one? Ever seen one in action?

A lap dance is inherently sexual at its core. You’re not just gyrating against someone’s cotton trousers or polyester dress. You are literally dancing by grinding your ass into someone’s crotch.

“He only held her by the waist, he never touched her any further!”

Again, do you children know what a lap dance is? Ever given one? Ever gotten one? Ever seen one in action?

In order to efficiently grind said ass into said crotch, the person dancing needs an anchor, either something strong in front of them like a bar or a chair, etc etc or (more likely) the person sitting down’s hands. The hands not only keep the person dancing steady on their lap, but also push the person dancing further into their crotch.

So, why is the scene UtM SA? Because it involves someone coercing someone into taking a substance they didn’t want to take (which took away her memory and her capabilities to say no and therefore derived her of the CONSENT and CHOICE y’all laud) and using her intoxicated and impaired state to forcefully grind their crotches together. And before you ask if it was forceful…

And you could argue, “Well the text doesn’t explicitly say she was giving him lapdances!” Which okay, fine. But then why was his hands on her hips all night? What other kind of sexual dances could they have been doing to make that necessary? If you’ve ever been dancing, at a club or house party or what have you, and some guy is dancing with you and grabbing your hips in a sexual manner, whether from the front or the back, I guarantee you he’s grinding his crotch into yours (which is one reason why I stopped going out early on in my life).

And this is nothing compared to the fact he had her dressed in nothing.

All of this while she was basically naked. A man in a position of power over her dressed her up in a “dress” that barely covered her, and forced her mostly naked, drunk and impaired self to sexually dance for him in front of other people for months while he touched her.

Even if there had been no dancing, a man in a position of power over her dressed her up in a “dress” that barely covered her, and forced her mostly naked, drunk and impaired self to sit in his lap in front of other people for months while he touched her.

Besties, no matter which way you twist it, that’s SA.

It’s so disgusting

You know Rowan Whitethorn would have absolutely exposed Lucien being Helion's son, Eris's and Mor's secret backstory, Gwyn's parentage, the fact that Feyre was going to die Bella Swan-style and finally roasted Azriel about the necklace re-gifting, all in one dinner.

I wonder how many "dreamers" in the Court of Nightmares fantasize about Rhysand saving them like he did Mor.

I wonder how many of those fae have lost the hope that kept them from becoming as cruel as their parents and peers.

I wonder if there are fae in the CoN that have lived and died without ever feeling the warmth of sunlight on their skin.

Anyways, if Rhysand ever has the misfortune of meeting me while I'm in a bad mood, it's on sight.

if some people are so certain that, as a ship, Gwynriel lacks chemistry, significant moments together, and there is no chance of them being endgame, then why need to turn Gwyn into an evil lightsinger just to justify Gwyn and Azriel not getting together?

you don’t have to ship Gwynriel, but stop bringing my girl Gwyn into this mess when it’s pretty much confirmed that ‘Gwyn is a lightsinger’ is a conspiracy theory. 😀 she’s unproblematic and doesn’t deserve to be trashed that way; she’s more than just a love interest you don’t like and feel entitled to twist things to make her look bad.

My Birthday is in a month and I don’t have an Azriel. I’m gonna cry the hole day 😫💀

Amazing fanfic. The writing style is so good I can’t 😫😫🫶🏻🫶🏻

Never seen anybody say Elain needs to redeem herself for being the reason why Nesta went into the Cauldron.

Never seen anybody say Feyre needs to redeem herself for telling Ianthe everything about her sisters.

Never seen anybody say Papa Archeron needs to redeem himself for being a neglectful parent.

Never seen anybody say Rhys needs to redeem himself for what he did for Amarantha.

Never seen anybody say Cassian needs to redeem himself for slaughtering a whole village.

It’s almost as if Nesta will forever be a villain 🤔

I swear at some point they are going too say Nesta is the reason Rh/sand didn’t tell Fe/re about the pregnancy problems. 😂😂💀

I need this !!!

When Rhys stans ask “why is Rhys different in ACOSF” and people respond “oh Nesta is an unreliable narrator”….. 

Nesta’s view in ACOSF is THIRD person. Feyre’s view from ACOTAR - ACOWAR is FIRST person. 

It was Feyre that had the unreliable view of Rhys.

Not to mention, Rhys acts exactly the same? It was just viewed through a different POV. But Rhysand fanatics can’t accept that. Their hatred of Nesta overshadows all of the terrible things Rhys has done. And honey, hate to break it to you but Rhys is terrible and he has lied and hid things from Feyre and his friends numerous times???

1] when he knew the attor was following her

2] lied to her about the ring in the weaver’s cottage and put her life in danger to get it (just to see if she could as a promise to his mom??)

3] SA’d her and drugged her in UTM (also twisted her broken arm) –> can someone please explain to me why Feyre forgave Rhys for this?? and the entire fandom seems too?? They literally make jokes about the way she was dancing drugged. 

4] didn’t tell her the truth about him being her mate (idgaf if he said he kept it cause he wanted Feyre to be happy, she deserved to know even if she was happy with Tamlin) 

5] didn’t tell Mor about the promise he made to Keir about the visitation of the residents of Hewn City to Velaris (now i could care less about Mor, I don’t like her, but not telling her, that her that she may run into her abusive father) 

Moreover, Feyre talks to Rhys’s friends and family, so of course they will tell her all good things. 

and again, It was Feyre that had the unreliable view of Rhys. People need to go back to elementary school to relearn the difference between first POV and third POV. 

Google. gives us, “While first-person writing offers intimacy and immediacy between narrator and reader, third-person narration offers the potential for both objectivity and omniscience.” Take this what you will. 

This !!!

I hate the argument that Lucien didn't do enough for Feyre when she:

When Lucien does not actively run away with Feyre in acomaf, even thought he has tried speaking to Tamlin about correcting his behavior, because Tamlin would have hunt them down and caught them, he's an "abuser" but when the entire IC hide the secret about Feyre's pregnancy from her because they would all rather obediently follow Rhysand's orders over Feyre's right to know about her own body and pregnancy, it's crickets.

exactly! if you’re blaming lucien for not outright going against his high lord but forgiving and even excusing the inner circle following rhysand’s orders then your problem is not with lucien’s actions but lucien himself. stop hiding behind feyre’s well-being.

Oop, there it is.

The Library in Velaris (long rant)

There's something about the library that doesn't sit right with me. It's great to have a place as a refuge for women but as usual, it's just not handled well. For instance

I can't believe I have to say this but don't leave shitty comments on a fic. It was your choice to click the link to open the fic, and it was your choice to keep reading it to the end. If you don't like it, just close the tab and move on with your day. Writing fics is hard fucking work, and writers do it in our limited free time for no pay, on top of our careers and everything else in our lives.

Fics are written by writers, first and foremost, for ourselves. And then are shared with you. You're not entitled to fics. You're not entitled to comment on fics.

Shitty comments only serve to make a writer not want to write; and when other writers see those comments, it can make them not want to write either. So if you like reading fanfics by any author in any fandom….don't leave negative comments. Ever.

There is literally no reason to say something shitty about a fic other than to show off how you can be a bitch.

I am Nesta.

I am Nesta when my parents are harder on me because I am the oldest daughter. I am Nesta when my parents coddle my younger sister and give her everything she desires while I am raised to uphold our family. I am Nesta when I am who they yell at long before they yell at my sister. I am Nesta when I am expected to get a job, or marry a rich man so that my sister may have freedom I will never know. I am Nesta when I grow to dislike my sister for living a life I am sacrificing my emotional and mental health for. I am Nesta when I finally choose to put me first and I am called Selfish. I am Nesta when my sister does the bare minimum and is praised far more than I ever even been thanked. I am Nesta when reminded that she will always be better than me, stronger than me, more powerful than me, smarter than me because she was born second. She was born when they wanted a child, not when they needed one. I am Nesta when I am told I deserve misery in life for speaking out against the inequality. I am Nesta when I take out my frustration on the person who reaps the fruit of my labour. I am Nesta when I am spent, and broken, and dying, and dead.

I am Nesta when I'm angry enough to watch the world burn for the way I've been treated. Even If I'm the one who lights the match.
