emma carstair's gf

I didn’t tell them it was based on a fictional story.

They were absolutely horrified and disgusted by that idea. They said that if they knew that the husband was keeping this info, they would tell the pregnant woman right away (and suggest that she leave him). It took us down a rabbit hole of talking about how far women’s reproductive rights have come.

My biggest problem with the conversation around abuse though, is that it isn’t consistent. It’s not consistent at all. When R/hysand, F/eyre, C/ass, M/or, and A/mren are concerned, that courtesy isn’t reciprocated. Where Nesta is more a case of unclear writing, the Inner Circle is a case of horrible framing. Leaving F/eyre out of this, the actions of the remaining Inner Circle were abusive. It’s not really an argument of clarity, they actually do the abusive deed. Nesta receives their actions as...abuse. She fears R/hysand and A/mren and she is under their control. It’s abuse, considering the fact that Nesta has never been antagonistic to any of them: not physically nor verbally (speaking about R/hys and A/mren — M/or’s o.g comments were made in private, so I won’t include her). Not ever, and not in the scene. Their violent reactions to her are not facilitated by anything valid. Nesta has never been an asshole to the people directly making those abusive remark. While F/eyre’s “abuse” is more misguided, and unintentional, The IC’s is not. Their remarks are to gain power, to establish themselves as the ones in charge — which is a staple of abusive familial relationships (which is why I can understand the arguments against Nesta).

Let’s think about R/hysand’s main distinction between the sisters. While both Nesta and Elain are “bad sisters” only Nesta is treated with scorn. How is Elain conceived during her depression and how is Nesta? R/hysand’s immediate problem with Nesta is her...unwillingness to conform to his will. F/eyre isn’t necessarily the one with this mentality, she’s misguided in the way Tamlin was — as in she thinks pushing her sisters trauma down or undermining that it exists will make the problem go away. She’s more unaware about how to approach the problem, like Tamlin was with her, and I can’t really be mad at her to that extent. But R/hysand is not like that, the first think he does is compel Nesta, even when she hasn’t said anything to him or to anyone for that matter. R/hysand and A/mren’s actions were abusive. While I fault F/eyre because of her experience, I think SJM’s writing can be the culprit here. I’ve been hard on F/eyre and I dislike her but I do not think F/eyre in WAR would have done something like this to Nesta (because she literally didn’t, even when she could have). So through and through, this series is too inconsistent with what it views as abuse and what it views as morally good. I can respect different iterations of characters, but I think the conversations aren’t consistent!

Kit Herondale is canonically bisexual! He is attracted to both girls and boys.

If I see YET ANOTHER comment on "iT's nOt hIs GiRlfrIenD bUt bOyfrieNd!!" I'll scream.

It's possible that Kit may have a boyfriend that Tessa is unaware of, BUT it is also possible for Kit to have a girlfriend.

BUT CAN Y'ALL PLEASE STOP STRAIGHT-WASHING KIT OR HATING ON HIS POTENTIAL GIRLFRIEND??
