Probably my favorite character from the ACOTAR series, Mor <3 I was waiting to read the last book until the move but I’m just going to go ahead and read it haha.
“There are tiers,” he said neutrally, “within our circle. Amren is my Second in command.”
A female? The surprise must have been written on my face because Rhys said, “Yes. And Mor is my Third.”
“Amren faced Mor. “Working with Keir and Eris is not forgiving them. And when this war is over, I will hunt them down and butcher them with you, if that is what you wish.” Mor said nothing—though she at last looked away from Rhys. “My father will poison this city.” “I will not allow him to,” Amren said. I believed her.”
I can’t stop crying.
“If Amarantha offered us a slim shot at survival,” Rhys said, his gaze unflinching, “then I would not give a shit that she made me fuck her for all those years.” Cassian flinched. The entire room flinched. “If Amarantha showed up at that door right now,” Rhys snarled, pointing toward the foyer entry, “and said she could buy us a chance at defeating Hybern, at keeping all of you alive, I would thank the fucking Cauldron.” Mor shook her head, tears slipping free again. “You don’t mean that.” “I do.”
STOP THIS. STOP IT. STOP HURTING EACH OTHER. NO YOU DON’T MEAN IT AT ALL RHYS. YOU LIAR. I DON’T BELIEVE IT FOR A FUCKIGN SECOND. YOU’D KILL HER YOU WOULDN’T LET HER TAKE ANOTHER STEP. STOP MAKING MOR FEEL SELFISH STOP PRETENDING STOP STOP STOP.
Everything that happened in the Court of Nightmares. What. The. Fuck. How about no. The fuck did I just read.
I once lived in a place where the opinion of others mattered. It suffocated me, nearly broke me. So you’ll understand me, Feyre, when I say that I know what you feel, and I know what they tried to do to you, and that with enough courage, you can say to hell with a reputation… You do what you love, what you need.
I finally have enough of a break between school projects to finish this. It’s Mor (see what I did there) of a stress relief piece, anyway.
Of course I had to draw my favorite couple being all cute … it was only a matter of time
Felt like painting Azriel again ❤︎ And added Mor this time. Love these two
Battle couple Moriel is e v e r y t h i n g.
Mor walking through the crew in The Hewn City like :
# too fabulous for all of you , peasants
Do you think Rhys cares for Mor?
Not gonna lie Nonnie, I am a bit confused over this question. Rhys loves Mor. Rhys loves his little family more than anything and Mor is no exception to that. I think he admires her. I think he trusts her. I think he depends on her. I think he cherishes everything she is and does and stands for. And if you mean “cares for” as in romantically, then no. I don’t think so. The whole mates-thing seems to be a big deal to the poor dude, idk.
SARAH J MAAS WOMEN
Okay y'know what? I have to just take this one minute. One minute to explain.
Remember that scene where Feyre left Rhysand IN THE MUD after finding out they’re mates just to get away and THINK? At first, I thought, “how fucking heartless” and I still think that. But now I think of it in the way that Feyre needed not me. Feyre needed that space, that time, that sense of choice before being “fated” with someone AGAIN. Feyre needed to feel like SHE had the choice, not anyone else.
And when Aelin didn’t let her friends in on all her plans in QoS? At first, I thought it was dumb. But this was HER revenge story. HER chance to bring down the men who brought her down and get vengeance. There was too much at stake in order for her to include them. Aelin needed to do what she did and it all worked out. She even INCLUDED Lysandra because of what Arobynn did to her. She gave Lysandra the chance to get HER freedom and HER body back from that puppet master. Ugh.
Ugh just. Seeing these women with their knowledge of what THEY need first? That’s intense and I seriously love this author and these books for blazing a path for strong women who kick ass and take names and DO WHATEVER THE FUCK THEY NEED OR WANT WHEN THEY WANT OR NEED.
Remember that scene where Feyre left Rhysand in the mud, and Mor didn’t argue or stop Feyre. She saw her cousin and friend, her High Lord, lying weak in the mud and begging. And she still put Feyre first.
God, I love these women.
I SWEAR TO GOD IF YOU MAKE MORIEL SLOW BURN THROUGH ALL THESE NINE BOOKS, SARAH.................
I want every teenage girl in the world to read ACOMAF becasue of the brilliant representation of sexual agency. I want every teenage girl to know it is perfectly normal and really healthy to know what you want and like and give voice to it, to get yours and that a guy needs to please you too, it’s a two way street people. Feyre represent. I want them to know it is okay to wait until you are in love and feel safe, to have sex for the first time. Aelin represent. I want them to know that there is no shame in waiting for someone who deserves you, waiting until you are god damned ready, no matter how old you are. Nesta represent. I want them to know that making the choice to have sex for the first time with a person you’re not in love with, but that is kind and sexy, to have it done with, to control your own life and situation and be rid of expectations, is okay. Mor represent. Thank you Sarah J Maas for making your female characters different and showing that no one way is the right way. It is a personal choice and no way is better than the other.
I wonder what kind of badass shit Mor did in the war to get the title The Morrigan
I googled this after I read about her meeting with the mortal queens and a quote from that scene that sounded familiar:
“Truth is deadly. Truth is freedom. Teuth can break and mend and bind. The veritas holds in it the truth of the world. I am The Morrigan. You know I speak truth.”
The Morrigan (war goddess/great queen/phantom queen/nightmare queen) is from irish mythology! She foretells deaths and battles and is a sign of imminent death (she shows up as a vision to those who will die) and she can also influence and sway the outcome of war by flying over the battles as a crow and instilling courage/fear in the warriors. Sometimes she joins the battle drectly as a warrior too. According to wikipedia she is also connected to soverignty. She is likened with Valkyrias sometimes.
So basically. She is The Morrigan no matter what she did during the war. But seeing as she is The Morrigan she probably did some pretty epic badass shit.
I am pretty sure Sarah has borrowed from this mythology a lot, she likes to use different countries old mythologies, but also put her own spin to it! It would be soooooo much fun to learn more about the early years of Inner Circle in Acotar 3.
The Court of Dreams (2/?) / Mor
“And Mor–what does she do for you?” – “Mor is who I’ll call in when the armies fail and Cassian and Azriel are both dead.”
“Truth is deadly. Truth is freedom. Truth can break and mend and bind. The Veritas holds in it the truth of the world. I am the Morrigan. You know I speak truth.”
“When they were done, they dumped her on the Autumn Court border, with a note nailed to her body that said she was Eris’s problem.” Nailed–nailed to her. (…) I thought of that merry face, the flippant laughter, the female that did not care who approved. Perhaps because she had seen the ugliest her kind had to offer. And had survived.
