Just a book girlie

And sometimes fanfiction is, ‘Watch me do a fucking KICK FLIP off this cool sentence!! Also here's some sex'

Azriel surviving that dark 11 year long cellar-exile because these two idiots, one from mighty ground royalty and the other from bum-fuck-nowhere, decided to bully him into flying. Took a chance on him.

Elain surviving the cottage and poverty and cold and a complete 180 to her entire life by simply keeping the whimsy alive and deluding her mind enough into looking at despair itself as hope. As salvation. Did it again when it went 360.

Nesta surviving depression & hate & loneliness because this magical house and this war general dude kept withholding liquor, made practical jokes, had impeccable taste in smut and kept reaching out to her. Over and over and over again.

Feyre surviving Death on the sole reason being her singlehandedly freeing an entire country, giving them hope to live again and by that virtue was owed that life back because how tf do you let hope die when it’s the strongest thing alive?

Cassian surviving. Just… surviving. Despite being literally thrown into the snow so early in life. Despite insults and beatings and “you’re a lowborn nobody”. Because he had sooo much empathy, he wished that fate on nobody. Because he wanted to be hope that he never got.

LISTEN TO ME.

*internally screaming, pulling hair, going crazy*

ROMANCE IS COOL BUT THIS?

ABSOLUTE. CINEMA.

BECAUSE THESE STORIES ARE WRITTEN ON HOPE. HOPE. THE ULTIMATE BELIEF THAT DESPITE ALL ODDS. DESPITE NO EXPLANATION OR END IN SIGHT. DESPITE THE LACK OF VERY OXYGEN IT NEEDS TO BREATHE, HOPE PERSEVERES.

em dash

“not x, not y, but z”

short sentence stacking as a stylistic choice

none of these belong to ai. these are all what human writers have been writing since day one, way before ai was invented. ai was trained to mimic how human writers write — so em dash, not x not y but z and short sentence stacking would never have been used by ai at all if ai hadn’t learned and mimicked them from human writers.

no, you are not “fighting against ai” by accusing every work that has em dash, not x not y but z or short sentence stacking in it as ai-generated, you are helping ai harm the writing community by engaging in witch hunt and scaring human writers away from creating/sharing their works for fear of being wrongly accused of using ai.

Mor sleeps with Cassian in the hopes of that ending her engagement with Eris. Eris hears about it and is like, she slept with Cassian? I am ending our engagement. For all we know he gave Mor a fucking wink and thumbs up from across the room as he said it; I doubt she would have noticed or cared regardless.

Mor gets dumped on the Autumn Court border by Keir (and it’s weird that all the blame and anger about this situation seems to be directed at Eris and not Keir, you know the one who actually tortured her). And Eris is like don’t touch her or she’s our responsibility. Hey Mor, checking in, you don’t want to become our responsibility and be forced to live in the Autumn Court, right? And Mor is like I’d rather die, asshole. And Eris is like, got it, roll out boys. And given that we know Eris sent an anonymous tip to Tamlin when Lucien went on the run, it does not seem crazy to assume that after the encounter with Mor, Eris might have secretly sent Azi a note like come get your girl.

And then we have the plan to have Nesta seduce Eris at the ball in order to strengthen his commitment to their alliance. And after he dances with her he goes to Rhysand and is like, hey, I noticed you had Nesta come seduce me and yes, I am in, let’s discuss marriage alliance.

Lucien:
