it’s like when you write all the cool clapbacks you come up with at 2AM in your notes so that one day you get to use them but you never do. well Tamlin fucking used all of his clapbacks. he was such a little hater i was literally going feral. yes babe, get it all out of your system, thats the least you deserve.

some of yall in this fandom hate to hear this but not a single lie came out of his mouth. absolutely folded Mr SA, demolished Feyredahling still rubbing her traitorous hands after destroying his entire Court. i was so happy he got to vent. it was a whole TREAT and Tamlin headlined that shit

Drugging and SAing her UTM, making her go into the weavers cottage to get a wedding ring, not telling Feyre that they're mates, not telling Feyre that he's going to sacrifice himself, hiding vital information about Feyre's body and pregnancy from her.

All of these are things he has done knowingly while being aware of the risks and damage it causes.

He knew she would be under the influence and still let her get humiliated.

He knew the Weavers cottage could be a life-threatening situation and STILL went through with it.

He knew Feyre wouldn't react well to being his mate and would not react well to him sacrificing himself and STILL kept that from her.

He KNEW Feyre didn't like secrets and decided to keep vital information from her regarding HER body from her and made EVERYONE lie by ommission to keep her in the dark.

None of these by definition are mistakes. And they never have been. He knows what the outcomes will be and still decides to do them.

Night Court: Is infamous for its tyranny and debauchery, and also for having the Most Powerful Daemati High Lord Ever as its lord

Night Court: The High Lord willingly serves Amarantha (Hybern's general) for no apparent reason other than to save his own skin (because no one else knows about the secret city he sacrificed the rest of his court to save, after all)

Night Court: High Lord publicly abuses a human girl for months Under the Mountain, in front of all the other High Lords

Night Court: High Lord kidnaps said girl from her wedding to the Spring Lord, she later turns up married to Night with an explanation that definitely doesn't involve mind-control

Night Court: Approaches Summer on the pretext of forging an alliance, betrays and robs them instead

Night Court: Sends formerly human girl as a double-agent to break the Spring Court from within

Night Court: Somehow Just Knew about an imminent attack on the Summer Court, despite no one else getting word. And they definitely don't try to leverage this as capital against their previous offences against Summer

Night Court: Tries to change the time and location of the High Lord meeting at the last minute and strongarm everyone into agreeing to it

Night Court: Causes immediate insult to every other High Lord present at said meeting by insisting they bow to its Lady, because the Night Lord thinks she deserves it

Night Court: Immediately starts talking shit to the other lords about Spring, who has yet to arrive

Night Court: Immediately starts drama with Spring, once he does arrive. Uses magic to choke him quiet when he says things they don't like

Night Court: Refuse to admit responsibility for betraying and stealing from Summer, using their aid in the attack to deflect from it

Night Court: Dodges questions about murdered Winter children and deflects with a sob story when pressed. A former human woman must apologise on their behalf

Night Court: Violently attacks delegates from the Autumn Court not once, not twice, but three times over the course of the proceedings

Night Court: "So, who wants to be our allies?"

................and then six out of seven fucking hands go up.

I’ve seen booktokers on tiktok (before I deleted tiktok) say they “didn’t get” older booktok books like Cruel Prince, Six of Crows, Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo and other good books or had to DNF them because it was too “boring” and "too much politics, no smut”. People have been tiktokified or have never read a book that wasn't romance or YA to begin with, so please go read one. It's good for you to broaden your horizons. Besides, YA never has a lot of politics, it's YA. Not even when YA dystopian books were thriving did it have too much politics.

1. Plots that make no sense

2. Characters that suck

3. The smut isnt even that good

and 4. The fact that a non-zero amount of these books try to push a "our mc is a total #feminist girlboss!" And that just means shes a dick, uses knives & can quip. Meanwhile the romance portion continues to push the male love interest as extremely overprotective and paternal, who is constantly swooping in and solving all the MCs problems for her. Also shes (small, tiny and Still Very Feminine) and hes (tall, large, the most masc dude to ever masc)

Like Tamlin was humble and respectful but me personally it’s my time to shine

Ok but honestly the fact that Tamlin didn’t ask anything of Feyre not to help his land people or court but just said “be happy” shows how good of a person he is

The Maximoff's became hydra operatives? Only because Tony Stark's bomb (not confirmed) killed their parents. So, it's his fault and wendy and paul should never ever face consequences

Aldrich Killian ambushed Tony Stark at a party rather than get a proper interview with him? Its Tony's fault he became a pathetic manchild supervillain with Maya Hansen's help

Ivan Vanko's father was deported for selling American secrets to the soviets and Howard reported it as he should? No, that's Tony Stark's fault.

A sentient, mind controlling alien sceptre kills JARVIS and hijacks the ultron name? Tony's fault only even though Thor and Steve gave permission for Tony to study it and Bruce helped

The accords exist because the Avengers had no oversight or clear leaders after SHIELDRA fell and were leaving more damage behind than saved people and Steve Rogers the paragon of light and virtue and righteousness disagrees and thinks "the safest hands are his own" and goes on a rampage across Europe to save his bestest bud bucky, injuring people, killing them, and causing damage to infrastructure all because zemo's plans hinged on Steve keeping the Starks murders a secret for 2 years? Tony's fault.

Tony lashes out at Steve for keeping his parents assassinations a secret because bucky was the one to kill them while brainwashed? Tony's fault. Tony wants bucky to hurt for it in that very moment of witnessing his parents brutal murders with the weapon right next to him? Irrational and it's of course Tony's fault.

Tony doesn't want to perhaps destroy the world by creating time travel and ruin the life he built in the 5 years since the snap? Selfish and irrational
