I LOVED THIS VIDEO!!!
I have been struggling to get through HOFAS because it’s so hard to switch back and forth between the POVs 😭

I think it’s so cruel of SJM to make Tharion canonically an ass man….
Like, my boy lives UNDERWATER where the majority of people have TAILS (no butts)
It’s so sad 😞
Sometimes I think it would just be easier for Bryce if she carried around an industrial strength flashlight to blind people
Current book problem: Advice needed:
(House of flame and shadow spoilers)
I am reading House of Flame and Shadow but so far I have only read Bryce’s POV. Unfortunately I have absolutely zero interest in any of the other characters and I am only reading her POV cause it takes place in Prythian. The problem is is that I’ve just gotten to Part 2: The Search and now she is back in Crescent City. So if you can I need some minor spoilers and advice….
Does she ever end up back in Prythian? Or do we at least hear from Nesta and Azriel again?
Should I just go back to the beginning and read what happens to the other CC characters?
Should I just drop the series and hope SJM comes out with another Prythian book soon?
Is anyone else having this problem and just can’t seem to connect with the CC world?
Thanks!
In Court of War and Ruin when Feyre realizes that Lucien is actually the son of Helion and not Beron it is mentioned that his mothers line must have been the one to give him his fire powers.
In Crescent City the Autumn king has fire powers. And I know many of us have just assumed that he is probably part of the same royal bloodline that the Prythian Autumn King is, but what if he is part of the same bloodline that Lucien is?
Okay stay with me…
Now what if Throne of Glass is somehow set before ACOTAR and CC and somehow Aelins descendants crossed into those worlds ( First ACOTAR and then CC)? And her fire powers were passed down for generations? Making both Lucien and Bryce descendants of Aelin
I just realized something.
We all know that SJM is heavily inspired by fairy tales and mythology.
In Crescent city Jesiba Roga (Bryce’s boss) is described as an extremely powerful witch who has a penchant for turning her enemies into animals.
She is inspired by or is Circe.
Anyways, Happy New Year!

Bryce because I'm such a simp for her ✨
I don't think sjm did any other interviews from 2021~ now (or if she did it's not public so I can't see it) and since I've only first read acotar during January of last year and only acosf and hosab came out when I was actually a part of the fandom, I've never actually seen any of sjm's interview until this recent one with Katherine Webber and I have to say.. the way sjm haters villainize sjm one would think sjm is some kind of heartless psycho that 1. purposely created Danika Fendyr solely to be used as a plot device because she's dead 2. purposely designed Rhys and Feyre to be selfish rulers who will be the doom of Velaris 3. purposely made Feyre such an irresponsible mother and ruler 4. purposely made Rhysand such a manipulative and irresponsible ruler 5. purposely made nesta such a evil and uncaring person not even bothering to redeem her (you all, nesta's human, she makes mistakes and it's not always okay but that doesn't make her an evil person who doesnt deserve a second.. well fine maybe third... chance) 6. purposely killed the thirteen (this one's a joke you people who take everything so literally) 7. purposely made Rhys and Feyre seem so heartless they could have sex when people are dying (bro it's supposed to be romantic not a personal attack on the dying people 🙄 it's supposed to symbolize how "people in find hope in others [in sex, yes] during the hardest times" 8. purposely created the IC as a toxic enviorment and toxic family who "keeps things from each other" and "don't trust and open up to each other" (eg: Mor not being willing to admit she's gay, telling feyre her preganacy can kill her WELL IF YOU WERE IN THEIR POSITION YOU PROBABLY WOULD DO THAT SAME THING) 9. purposely made Bryce curvy without "proper representation" because she's fatphobic 10. purposely didn't give any of her characters god forbid THERPY and had them magically get better (you all fun fact no one believes in therapy where i live and im suicidal but obviously im not dead yet and probably also less messed up than HALF of you sjm haters so one doesnt require therapy to get over trauma or to just... not be dead✨) 10. purposely gave Rhys and Feyre power (and from one of the acotar hate chain I quote) "so they can fucking waste it" 11. purposely had Nyx conceived out of fear (not true but I'll humor you all)
I could go on and on and on but i think this sufficient don't you? You all, acotar and tog and cc are books. in a world designed by a single human. characters have flaws, it doesnt mean they're horrible people, it doesnt mean the AUTHOR is a horrible person or transphobic or fatphobic or anti lgbtq.
also note that before every single point there is a "purposely" as in the things these characters do maybe arent totally correct, but it isn't done because of "problematic intensions"
I don't think SJM is problematic. she's human like any of us, and that means she has her own viewpoints or writes about things she finds acceptable but you don't. that doesnt make her a bad person or a problematic author.

The thing about sjm
is that as problematic as she is, her writing touches me. I'll be reading acotar or hoeab or tog and then there's these moments where I truly feel the writing. I can connect with what sjm have written, I can connect with what Feyre, Nesta, Aelin is feeling. And she describes it in a way where I read a sentence and what I am feeling or have felt is described perfectly. And there's these sudden bursts of emotions because it's not because she wrote she's sad or she's mad, but she shows how conflicted the character feels, how helpless, how afraid these characters feel, in a way that made me realize that I'm not alone in my feelings and that others have felt what I have felt too. This is why I fell in love with her writing, with her characters. And if she's problematic, then so be it, but I'm not going to stop reading her books because I believe that the book and the author are seperate things and just because you hate the author, doesn't mean you have to hate the characters too. And even if she racist or homophobic, I still thank her for writing these books, for helping me realize that it's going to be okay through her writing.
Friendly Reminder
Bryce vacuumed Micah up.
It's taken me days to try to articulate what I feel about Crescent City in one, coherent rant. Specifically, this first book..
There was SO much world building; I was practically pixelating into Lunathian, itself, watching the buildings rise around me, the river, the people.
Then? The story. Already ripping my heart out in just a few chapters. Now... The story continues. Twists, turns, surprise, and realization. This is NOT first person narration. The main characters hide much of their thought process until it's time for a reveal. We get to be surprised alongside other characters.
Now, let's get into SJM's ability to make all Hel break loose in the final 100 pages. I was STRESSED. I was INVESTED. I was... Completely, utterly, and unapologetically SHATTERED. I've never cried so hard, felt so much heartbreak, anxiety, and hope in such a short span of a book.
I still haven't fully recovered, even after finishing the series. My throat catches in desperate love and devotion amongst these characters. All I have to say from here? "Light it up." 😭🌙⚡✨
I am a part of so many fandoms but sjm fandom has gotta be the most toxic one and yes I still love it here.
fuck you my child is completely fine...
your child want a fae male to bite them.
i love how we all collectively decided it was okay to love faerie porn.
i dont care what yall have to say about cc all the hate and stuff towards it.
i loved it every single part of it. i mean just look at danika and bryce how can someone not love them. And omg lehabah is my smol baby. and the ending was just out of this world and i literal felt soo much pain.
just waiting for cc2 and ik its gonna be awesome
me(halfway through cc): WHAT THE FUCK HUNT!!
after few pages: WHAT THE FUCK BRYCE!!
i started reading crescent city and was warned that it will hurt and i thought how bad can it be(comparing tog and acotar).
And let me tell you IT WAS WORSE.
i swear sjm wants us to die!
a theory:
Aelin, Feyre and Bryce have so much in common it almost seems intentional. What if the similarities are a part of a bigger scheme? Both the parallels in their stories and in their characters? What if she's plotting something?
A lot of people on tumblr are disappointed by her using the same pattern in the books -
almost too perfect first love, not that fitting second love and then the third - the mate
born to be someone really powerfull but hiding it/not knowing it
one specific form of art (music/painting/dance)
rattling the stars (inspiring/making a change in the world, in COEAB soon to come, I think)
the overuse of the word "incarnate" (anyone else annoyed by it?)
tattoed & flying boys (and gradually the girls)
Could be lazy writing, but what if she's done it in purpose? What if it all plays a big role in the future, maybe when they meet? We already know their worlds are connected, a crossover is imminent! I can't imagine that they won't notice anything when they meet?
