I am so fucking pissed at Feyre and Rhysand after ACOFAS
Holy fuck. The way Feyre treats Lucien in this is absolutely horrible. She mocks him for making friends outside of her Inner Circle, and even mocks their name like they don’t call themselves the court of dreams??? Feyre is so hypocritical and then apologizes and CONTINUES to treat him like ass. Lucien has been abused by Tamlin just as much as Feyre if not more. Lucien was there before she came and after she left and I’m going to assume Tamlin took it out on him. Lucien even went out of his way to find her, not for Tamlin, but because he genuinely believed Rhysand had malicious intent. NOT TO MENTION when she returned she genuinely considered LEAVING Lucien to most likely be RAPED by Ianthe. Oh and are we going to mention the fact that she and Rhys are deliberately withholding the information that Helion is his father? Bitch I’m not done. I love Rhysand, I really do, but holy fuck I would expect some more god damn sympathy from him for a man being abused. Rhysand should know fucking better that Lucien is going through a lot of shit and has NOWHERE TO GO. He gets the shit beat out of him by Tamlin, the entire Autumn court is trying to kill him, he doesn’t know about Helion, and Feyre just shits on him at the night court. Who the fuck can possibly be mad at him for making friends with Jurain and Vassa?? Feyre talked so much shit about Lucien being a bad friend and right about now I’m ready to throw hands because this is the most hypocritical fuckery i’ve ever seen thanks for coming to my fucking TED talk.
Idk I can’t agree with this bc Lucien just stood by in acomaf while Feyre was being abused and wasting away and literally kept telling her to wait it out. I don’t think Feyre owes Lucien shit. A lot of Feyre’s trauma flat out is tied to Lucien and I think it’s absolutely absurd to forget that she went through so much and literally lost the very essence of herself and Lucien was a person that just stood by and let it happen. I think it’s one thing to love Lucien as a character, bc believe me I do, but all of Feyre’s trauma is tied to Tamlin and Lucien and people keep forgetting that. Tamlin and Lucien both betrayed them to Hybern. Lucien tried to take her that one day in the woods. Lucien kept telling her to wait it out even tho she was wasting away day by day. Put yourself in Feyre’s position. It wouldn’t be so easy to forgive Lucien and like be his friend.
Lucien is going through a lot of shit and has NOWHERE TO GO
Have I missed something, because I distinctly remember that Rhys and Feyre allowed him to stay in the Night Court, and on top of that in their most precious place - Velaris? And that was after Feyre risked botching her escape plan by helping Lucien. Because, even though her trauma is also thanks to him, she still didn’t want to just leave him, because she isn’t a person who just stands by when her friend is in danger. Also, even after all the shit that’s happened to her (partially thanks to him, might I remind you again) - he judged her relationship and deeds. And she still forgave him. So nope, she doesn’t owe him shit. Rhys all the more so, since he wasn’t even Lucien’s friend in the first place. Also fucking everyone is going through a lot of shit. They’re having enough problems on their own to bother with every hurt person around them.
Lucien was abused and is lost right now - I’m not trying to undermine that. I hope he will find his happiness. But I’d say, that The Court of Dreams, Feyre’s sisters, citizens of Velaris and managing the aftermaths of the war in general are rather higher above Lucien’s fate on Feysand’s list of priorities. Oh, and their own traumas too, of course. So they kinda have a lot more shit to deal with.
You did indeed miss a lot of things. Feyre and Rhysand didn’t “allow” Lucien to stay in Velaris out of the kindness of their hearts but because they felt they could gain information from him as well as the fact that he was literally fighting along side feyre when her rescue happened. Lucien Vanserra was very much so abused and not just by Tamlin is everyone forgetting that his family murdered the love of his life in front of him and then proceeded to run him out of his own court and to this day make attempts on his life???? Feyre murdered one of his friends like that happened??? Its the whole reason she met any of them in the first place whether Tamlin set it up to break the curse or not that isn’t an easy thing to deal with and like she wasn’t even remotely sorry for the longest time until she started having feelings for Tamlin. Lucien tried to help her several times he has no control over Tamlin people seem to conveniently forget that although an asshole Tamlin is indeed a high lord. He was also you know, BEING RAPED by fucking Ianthe the whole time how can y'all have sympathy for Rhysand being raped by Amarantha and completely discard Lucien’s rape and the trauma from that???? So Feyre may not “owe Lucien anything” but where is Lucien at fault? He also owes Feyre not a damn thing and yet he was the first to go to her under the mountain and help her and almost ended up dead for it!? That happened!!! He almost lost his life for helping her!! And because he didn’t jump up immediately after a near death experience and do it again he’s suddenly “done nothing to help” that’s flat out bullshit. And he came back again later and she was pissed because he wasn’t fast enough and she made a deal with Rhysand. Like foh. She chose to put her own suffering over the fact that he just almost lost his goddamn life! Let’s not forget before she got a chance to get to know rhysand feyre also thought he was a villian so how are we gonna judge lucien for believing what he was led to believe by both rhysand and feyre? He went after her and she rather than explain calmly put on a show and I quote “ showed him what he wanted to see” again bullshit. He wanted to see that she was okay and because she put on a show that’s what he had to go back on how else was he supposed to judge the reaktionship?? Also Lucien played no part on Tamlins deal with Hypbern again he holds no power like ????? And again rather than tell Lucien the truth she put on a show. Lucien saw through her glamour he knew she wasn’t being honest and instead of ratting her out he kept his mouth shut and tried to accept the friend he lost and was worried about. And she repayed him by using him, ruining his only friendship, and making sure he had no place to go home to and yet he cared for her while they were escaping and was prepared to die fighting his brothers to protect her!!! His reaction upon being in Velaris says it all. He was genuinely surprised that he wasn’t stepping into a hell hole he really thought Feyre was in danger and miserable all that time!! And upon him being there all Feyre does is treat him like a criminal like i'ts lucien who can’t be trusted! Need I remind y'all it was also Lucien who stepped up and turned the tide in the war? Lucien helped them all along even after Feyre used him and treated him like shit and even though she “let him stay in velaris” it was for her own personal gain and they never made him feel welcome once. All he did was help her and try to care for elain. So It’s Lucien who owes Feyre not a damn thing and yes Feyre does owe Lucien something. A GODDAMN APOLOGY AND A THANK YOU!!! Feyre knew Lucien was also being abused because it mentioned that the thought crossed her mind that she never really thought about the fact that lucien might also be going through shit so don’t try to play the “well she didn’t know” she did know she just didn’t care to gauge the extent of it choosing to ignore it in lieu of her own.
How can you misinterpret less than 300 words that badly, put things I didn’t say in my mouth and start ranting on things I didn’t even mention is just beyond me XD But okay, I’m gonna address all of this. And it’s gonna be fucking long and in detail.
