People just genuinely do not remember side characters. I guarantee you most casual readers barely if at all remember someone like Beron, Eris or jurian and they’ve been around the whole series.

Casual readers remember the main characters(feyre, rhys, the sisters, the brothers, MAYBE mor and amren) and couples and stories. Thats it. They read the books put them down and live their lives.

Us active online fandom people are the ones obsessed.

Flynn is one of my fav CC characters but guess what? Most people aren’t losing sleep over him 😂. Most people don’t remember he even exists.

Elain offered a half smile.

I get that ACOTAR got people back into reading. I really do. I didn't realize people had STOPPED reading but listen, any reading is better than none you know?

But this 10 yr gap in people's reading history is SERIOUSLY crippling reading comprehension. And then it's taken to social media, and the insanity spreads 😭

Like ONE person said "I love Tamlin", invented a whole other story in their head about his apparent greatness and infallibility.... and now suddenly there's hundreds of women placing this literal ABUSER on a pedestal.

The amount of times I've seen:

"Well what tamlin did wasn't really that bad he just locked her in a house"

"Feyre is ungrateful she doesn't deserve Tamlin"

"They're so mean to Tamlin kicking him while he's down"

"Tamlin deserves a full redemption arc - give him Elain"

STOP. Like I don't care how much you love this weak willed man. THE WORDS SAY A DIFFERENT STORY.

Like I can say I love Draco Malfoy all I want, but I know he was lowkey a dick the entire series until he redeemed himself in the end. And he's mainly forgiven because HE WAS A CHILD.

TAMLIN IS 300 yrs old. The whole point of the romance in ACOTAR vs ACOMAF was to show Tamlin prioritized himself, HIS pleasure, HIS court, HIS image.

The romance with Rhys showed us how Rhys prioritized FEYRE. He taught her how to use her powers. Taught her how to read and write. Gave her the tools to become the powerful high lady she is today. He never trapped her. Never raised a hand on her.

If people can't tell that, and choose to go with their own theories, whatever. But it's specifically this flow of:

"I think Tamlin is the good guy"

"I think SJM is prepping us for a book where Rhys has been evil all along and Tamlin saves the day"

"You don't think that will happen? Well you're wrong. You're stupid for thinking Rhys is the good guy here. Idiot."

MY FIRST COMMISSION BY NONE OTHER THAN MAEDOETIS ON INSTA!!!!!

One of my favorite scenes from the series, Elain gifting Feyre the cake based on the dresser drawers. There's so much to this scene, and this piece, that I adore. The sisterly bonding, Elain trying her best to make up for everything to Feyre, Feyre getting a proper birthday celebration from a family member, the expressions on Elain and Feyres faces, the details and framing of the cake, it's just so perfect.

If you repost, please ask maedoetis on insta first and TAG AND CREDIT HER! She put a lot of time and effort into this piece and it's absolutely gorgeous and she deserves recognition for it if it is shared. She's my friend first and foremost and I will not be okay with people trying to steal even a crumb of credit from her.

I do not care if you tag or credit me I'm a tiny random blog and all I did was pay money the scene is sjms and the art is maes I'm just a happy little guy that has dreamt of being able to support their friend and see their favorite scene come to life in said friends style 💜
