I drew Elide and Lorcan as a commissions, and I had so much fun coloring this!

There’s nothing in life quite like autumn. Misty mornings and rainy afternoons. The crisp cool feeling that hangs in the air. A sense of warmth that comes from within. It’s nothing less than magical, really.

I LOVED this book for one glaring reason (that goes beyond how much more Azriel we got, but I digress).
That reason is the gray area. There is SO. MUCH. moral gray area in ACOWAR. Characters that I admittedly thought were PERFECT and could do no wrong did wrong. Characters I thought were pure evil did right.
SJM portrayed a beautiful picture of humanity in a fantastical world. Not one of us is morally right or morally wrong, point blank. We are MESSY, and so was every character in ACOWAR. MESSY. And she didn’t shy away from portraying them as such. The characters moved all over the spectrum of right and wrong and that’s just LIFE.
The gray area is a GOOD THING. Now is it going to incite a million and one arguments on this platform concerning the age old argument of “oh so and so did this when they should have done this because I say so and since they didn’t they’re A PURE EVIL ABUSER SATAN WORSHIPPER BLAH BLAH BLAH.” And that part sucks. But real people are messy and all over the spectrum. And so is ACOWAR and I LOVE IT.
I’m using the screenshot because I want to respect the tagging etiquette (unlike the majority of this fandom apparently).
Yes, I do not like Fey/sand.
Reasons:
I dislike both R and F. I find them very annoying, self-absorbed, overpowered and overrated characters. I think it is normal that if you don’t like the characters, you won’t like the pairing that consists of them.
I think that R’s actions towards F during the first book are disgusting and inexcusable. I can’t believe the narrative AND the fandom forgave him as soon as he said that he did what he did for her own good and because he loved her.
Their whole relationship is built upon Tam’s character assassination. S/jm had to make him into some abusive monster in order to make R seem better. Unpopular opinion, perhaps, but I think whatever Tam did, what R did was 100 worse.
They always support each other even if the other deserves to be called out. For example, when F invaded Luci/en’s mind just because she could.
They are portrayed as the most perfect people fairies in the world and the flaws they actually have are constantly being excused and brushed off.
I’m sick of F repeating the mantra “My choice. He gave me the choice. He wants to make sure that I know I will always have a choice with him” or “My mate, who sacrificed so much and blah blah blah”. She stopped being a character with her own agenda and personality, and became R and his dick’s worshipper.
Their sex scenes are cringy af and too long.
I hate them for mistreating Luci/en. My boy deserves happiness.
I will never forgive them (especially R) for treating Ne/sta (I can’t believe I write her name like that) the way they did.
There are probably more reasons for my dislike towards them, but this will do.
I apologize for any mistakes.
YESSSSS
are Lucie and Jesse hanging out in coi?
Yes, all the time.
