Reading Books, Writing Fiction, Watching Shows ✌🏻

Tamlin has enough going on, and I can't see SJM giving him a child on top of that, IMO.

Gwyn doesn't say "Calanmai" she says "Great Rite". Everyone in Spring calls it Calanmai bc it falls on the Equinox.

Every Court has a Great Rite (Lucien says this).

Sangravah isn't in Spring since Spring didn't have a working temple until Ianthe fixed it up in MaF.

The most clues point to Eris being her father, IMO.

Gwyn has crackling magic around Nesta, which is the same as Eris when he is around Nesta.

Rhys says people who groveled to Amarantha were let out for important occasions and we saw Eris groveling--the Rite would be an important occasion bc it would be useless to rule over dead lands, and she would never risk semding the High Lords. She would send the next best, which would be Eris for Autumn.

Gwyn mentions the Forest House, aka Beron is who sent her mother to Sangravah. He would have no jurisdiction to send anyone to another Court, so it has to be an Autumn Temple. This is confirmed twice. Once when Lucien said he learned about all his people as a kid then recognized the rug from Sangravah, and then when Gwyn said she had to send some of the kids up the rocky mountain paths to get help, and theres a small mountain range in Autumn on the map.

It would also make sense that there are 3 temples in 3 fae territories. Cesere is in Night for the Solar Courts. Itica is on the continent. And Sangravah is in Autumn for the Seasonal Courts.

Eris is adamant that he wouldn't willingly give his firstborn to Rhysand. I think this discussion was very purposeful and not for nothing.

Feyre and Cassian both say that his offer to Nesta was something other than lust beneath his offer to marry her. They just didn't know what. We know Nesta is closest to Gwyn.

Gwyn says a male didn't claim twin girls. Tamlin wasn't UTM at the time, so there would've been nothing stopping him from claiming them. Whereas Eris would've had to go back UTM and wasn't there when they asked around, but even still, Beron murdered Jesminda for being Lesser Fae. He wouldn't risk claiming them and Beron killing them.

The only two people who have been shown to be able to scent people from large distances are Eris and Gwyn. Eris when he scents Mor on the air and Gwyn when she scents Deirdre on the air.

Gwyn has coppery hair, not blondish, and the A.C line has red hair from Lady A.

Eris allowed Rhys in his mind for their allyship. SOMETHING he saw made him wholly believe Eris meant no harm to Night. I think the most convincing would be the safety of his child...Rhys could know. They know about Helion and Lucien too!

There's a tonnn more, but these are the main points. See the linked highlight on IG if you're interested. 🥰🥰🔥🔥

AND JUST AS A REFRESHER:

ALL the High Lords perform their own Rite in their OWN lands. For the following year. We dont know when, though. Prob to do with their own seasons and such. Calanmai, aka May Day, and Fire Night, is the celebration of the Spring Equinox. The party.

Spring's Great Rite just happens to be done the same day in the Spring Court. So Spring uses Calanmai as an umbrella word for both.

GIRL that's a strech I'm sorry lol

They treat him like an intruder and with suspicion! They use him. These people aren't his friends!

The Inner Circle wakes up in the very same cabin Feyre grew up in...except they're all human now. No powers. No wings. No magic.

Zero, zip, zilch, nada.

Outside the cabin is an endless forest. It doesn't matter which direction they walk or how many days they travel. There is no village, no civilization, no escape. The forest simply loops back in on itself, giving them no exits or roads. They've spent centuries as fae nobles with servants, estates, limitless resources, and magic to solve every inconvenience. Now they're expected to survive exactly as the Acheron sisters did.

Let's see them figure out how to chop firewood before winter.

Let's see them hunt with empty stomachs and no guarantee they'll come home with anything.

Let's see Amren refuse to lift a finger because manual labor is "beneath her," only to get yelled at by the IC for not contributing and comparing her to Nesta.

Let's see Rhysand and Mor be totally unprepared for this life because the radiance and privilege of their Court is all they know, slowly realizing that starvation makes people cruel. That fear breeds resentment. That exhaustion destroys patience. Most of all, let's see how long it takes before they start turning on one another. Let's see them accuse each other of not helping, going out to hunt, cooking, cleaning, gardening, all the things Nesta and Elain did while Feyre was out hunting.

Because eventually they'll be forced to confront the truth they spent years ignoring:

His quote "this does not bode well" is legit a staple in my life (and I told his voice actor David [who also plays Cormac] this when I interviewed him!)

BUT the one thing that bothers me about Thesan art is that they forget he is HALF Asian (Xianic).

I say that because Thesan canonically has his fathers light brown hair, and it's wavy-ish. Not black/straight hair.

And this one is the many issues I have with the ACOTAR fandom. They claim their renditions are canon when they are 100% not. And this goes for any character.

The ones that are wrong the most:

Thesan having black/long/straight hair (it's light brown, shorter, wavy).

Varian and Cresseida having blue eyes (their eyes are brown)

Any of the near-immortal characters having facial hair [I see this with Cassian especially] (SJM fae/Illyrians/angels etc DO NOT have facial hair in any series, and Feyre mentions body hair is just a sprinkle)

Luciens scar being some three pronged claw mark (when it's one dragged line from brow to jaw from Ams ONE fingernail). And let's not even get INTO how they see his metal eye...

Rhys having creepy electric purple/lavender eyes (his eyes are DEEP BLUE only *tinged* violet in certain light--think Elizabeth Taylor) [This also goes for Ruhn and Lorin!]

The Archerons hair either being way too dark or way too light. (Their hair is golden-brown.) A mix of blonde and brunette. Aka dirty blonde or light brown (my natural color...I call it field mouse brown. In some states, it's called dishwater blonde)

Lady A made to look like she's a 40+ year old human woman (when she looks the same age as her sons) [similar to Ruhn/Lorin]

Beron looking 60+, with a half gray beard, and just totally unfae, when he is the one that looks around 45-50 but STILL handsome/ethereal. (Which makes sense bc he is over 1100 going by timeline).

Viviane having ice blue eyes like Kallias (when they're actually a deep sapphire.)

And last but CERTAINLY not least bc this one I fight for my life with-- Helion being portrayed as A BLACK MAN. (SJM has stated he is Persian, and SJM's coloring book artist Charlie Bowater had a full conversation about Helion's European features, including his nose and broader brow, etc). [There is a reason Lucien is so white passing nobody knew Beron wasn't actually his father.]

I am so sick of people comparing the time Nesta told Feyre she'd rip her throat out to Rhysand threatening to actually kill Nesta multiple times. Be for real. One is a heated sibling argument with zero weight behind it, and the other is a High Lord using his power and influence to make very real threats.

Nesta telling Feyre she'd rip her throat out? That's just siblings being siblings. You're telling me you've never said something dramatic or ridiculous to a family member during an argument? I once threatened to light my brother's bed on fire, and guess what? His bed was still intact. It's not deep. It's not serious. It's just words said in the heat of the moment.

But Rhysand? He's not throwing out empty threats in the middle of an argument. He actually wants to kill Nesta multiple times, and he makes no secret of it. The power dynamic here is glaring. Rhysand is a High Lord with the ability to carry out those threats, and he's surrounded by people who would back him up or turn a blind eye. Nesta's words were just that.. words.

Rhysand, on the other hand, has both the intent and the power to act on his threats. That's not the same thing, and acting like it is just shows a complete lack of perspective.

Stop pretending these situations are comparable.
