Sometimes I Feel Like It Suddenly Became ~cool~ In This Fandom To Like…not Be Super Enthusiastic About

sometimes i feel like it suddenly became ~cool~ in this fandom to like…not be super enthusiastic about sarah’s books? and to always use disclaimers like “well, it’s sarah so *rolls eyes* obviously the prose was terrible” or “idk like this is good for ya fantasy” or….idk, just stupid stuff like that. I feel like people are afraid of enthusiastically loving these books, because if you admit you love them too much then like shame on you for daring to enjoy something that doesn’t check all the tumblr boxes on what “unproblematic” media is.

and that so shit??? because this is fandom and so while we are always going to have criticisms, we should never be afraid to love this thing enthusiastically. LIKE IS THAT NOT WHY WE ARE ALL HERE?

and I feel myself doing it sometimes and it’s like wait…stop, no I actually really love these books, and there isn’t really a “but” in there. there’s room to criticize but there shouldn’t ever be any room to feel ashamed of really loving something, despite or even because of its flaws.

so for the fucking record, let me state that I ADORE THESE BOOKS MORE THAN ANY OTHER BOOKS AND SARAH COULD HONESTLY PROBABLY WRITE ANYTHING AND I WOULD LOVE IT.

and i refuse to adjust my enjoyment of something simply because this hellscape of a website wants to tell me that i am a bad person/uncritical reader for enjoying it as much as i do.

Rhysand completes me <3

Can we please talk about that beautiful, heart-warming moment when Rhys tells Feyre how he started dreaming about her, and how he sent her the memory of the night sky for her to paint it, how much he wanted to find her, and how heartbreaking it was for him to pretend he didn’t care about her, how desperate he was when Amarantha killed her and how much he wanted to kill Amarantha for it. And finally, how EVEN THOUGH HE LOVED HER WITH ALL HIS SOUL HE LET HER GO BECAUSE HE THOUGHT SHE WOULD BE HAPPIER WITH TAMLIN, HOW HE RESPECTED HER CHOICES (not like a tool I know…)

I just love that part so much. It’s my favorite

FINISHED! I mean, it’s still not really quite how I imagine him, but we are getting closer! It was good practice in the mean time :)

I did a poll over on twitter on what ACOMAF illustration I should do next and 614 of you crazy cats voted in total! The winner was, of course, The Night Court Squad, for which I have big plans for, so stay tuned for that!

Is this too dark?… I cant really tell anymore. I’ll lighten it tomorrow if it is.

Prints available over on Etsy for those interested! Bookmarks coming soon :)

“For all that he had done, I had never given him either. Even when I had just… I had just painted something. On him. For him. I’d- painted again. So I smiled at him, broad and without restraints. -a Court of Mist and Fury, Sarah J Maas

This scene in acomaf <3 It needed a quote
