So you’re telling me her power is death and she isn’t supposed to be in autumn. So you’re telling me her power manifests in flames and she isn’t supposed to be in autumn? So you’re telling me she’s the hated and misunderstood eldest with a soft spot for the youngest and she isn’t supposed to be with Eris?
the mother and the cauldron
The mother: Say it slowly, so I can get it. What did the Archeron girl said?
The Cauldron: she said that she doesn't want a fae for a mate. Or a mate.
The mother: she doesn't want a-? Is she nuts? I gave her the best one I have!
The Cauldron: She's a bit traumatized, but she's nice.
The mother: I know she's a bit traumatized! But he is-he's- has she seen him? He's perfect! Even I want him as a mate!
The Cauldron: I know. How do we fix it?
The mother: not a mate, not A MATE! Well,give them forced proximity, give them pent up desire, give them loneliness, give them hormones! Make her see him shirtless! Make her see him shirtless and sweating and with his hair on a bun!
The cauldron: I like that! That's nice! Should we do the one bed trope?
The mother: Smart! I love it! She's gonna be eating out of his palm soon enough.
The cauldron: he's gonna be eating her soon enough.
trying to write an acotar fic that is grounded in canon is such a sisyphean task because when you do a close reading of the text it kinda falls apart. like we talk about the major inconsistencies in characterization, plot, and worldbuilding a lot, but the details are also a mess. because why is it mentioned that feyre wears a crown to visit her sisters in acomaf and then never brought up again or explained. sorry but we actually do need to know WHY she is wearing a crown. like what’s the point of it here? to show off to elain and nesta of all people?? or did sjm just change the order of events in which feyre becomes high lady, and nobody in how many rounds of editing ever caught this?
anyway there’s some goofy nonsense like this almost every chapter
Like I grew up with Harry Potter ff like when the fourth book was coming out and beyyondd — Jkr can jump in the bog of oodrid but fanfic authors ~ATE~ during the years when those books were coming out. There were facts 👏 continuity 👏 rich world building 👏 years and years of fanfic authors crushing it making blorbos kiss using a canon book series that actually went somewhere and had details that made sense
missing cunty lucien who told amarantha to go back to the shit hole she crawled out from !!!!! i think he should tell the inner circle to go f*ck themselves next !!!!!
SJM really wrote a book where she introduced a rakish flirt with a mechanical eye and facial scars, who is clever and sarcastic and has an impeccable sense of style, is skilled in courtly matters but is also catches fish with his bare hands, is a noble but doesn't care about his title and features a tragic backstory on top of it all and she really expected me to care about that blonde guy?????
The way I thought ACOTAR was going to be a love triangle (that Lucien wins) smh
Literally went and grew a whole ass baby, birthed it, crawled it since I was on tumblr last. I read one ACOTAR fan fiction last week and here I am again
Hello! I am curious (and a little messy lmao) why did you start liking Neris?
P.S i love both characters so much 🥹
I love this question and I have to say, I'm not sure why it's messy? I still love all the other ships I love (including Nessian).
But on to the Neris of it all.
First of all, lately I've been loving messy ACOTAR ships. I've spent a lot of time in this fandom carefully setting up happy endings and making sure I write pairings that work well together, and honestly it's fun to write a pairing that's equally likely to end up somewhere toxic as somewhere mutually edifying. See also: my love of Azris. It's not that I'm not a fan of happy endings or fluff or cinnamon rolls, but I love when the ACOTAR world is dangerous and complicated and that's what's been intriguing me most as a writer in the fandom lately.
As for Nesta and Eris, specifically, there are a few things.
One is that I think this pairing is actually pretty plausible. If Nesta had healed at a slightly different rate, I could see her being very over the Night Court and/or Cassian by the time she danced with Eris. Especially because she had mostly healed, she just hadn't really claimed her power.
I think there's a way in which Nesta might always feel as if she needs to change for Cassian, whereas I think that Eris would revel in the ways she can be cruel and cutting. He wouldn't call her Lady Death as a joke. He would use that title with reverence.
Mostly, though, I love this pairing because of the way these two can be mean together, and the way that might be a form of tenderness between them. Nesta and Eris are the monsters in their respective stories in a lot of ways, but when they're together, they don't have to hide and they don't have to be afraid.
Nesta and Eris can see each other as they were meant to be seen: dangerous, and beautiful, and glorious.
Which brings me to my final point: is there a pairing that's hotter than Neris?
Think about these two politicking and catching each other's eyes across the room. Or trapped in an endless council meeting with their feet and hands occupied under the table. Or setting up endless schemes and games and just waiting for the other one to figure out what they've set in motion. The way their sneers might turn into smiles for just a moment, when they're looking at each other.
You know what they're doing right after those meetings are over, and it's going to be scorching.
I'm not saying anyone has to be team Neris. All I'm wondering is, how did it take me this long to get obsessed?
I AM IN TEARS DON’T DO MAC LIKE THAT!!
okay picture this; i go back in time and find a victorian orphan child. do i blow his mind? do i break his brain? NO!!! i give him warm soft clothes and a hug. he gets me wizard high off what would commonly be used to treat a minor cough in that era. we both eventually contract a deadly illness and then i bring him to the future where we get easily cured of our ailment. i buy him a happy meal afterwards. he’s my good son now. love you son.
