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
