Fic Rec part Two of Two

Made me so upset since I am also a SA victim and it hurts to see people dismiss that

I don’t follow any of the people you mentioned, and I don’t think I’ve seen many posts from them either, so I couldn’t say which specific posts they made. But thank you for letting me know so I can steer clear of them in the future. It’s frustrating that people in the fandom are minimizing something as serious as SA, especially when it comes to Rhysand’s character. Regardless of opinions on him, it’s important to acknowledge his trauma and not erase or invalidate that part of the story.

They never invalidated anything, they said using sexual assault as a shield for any consequences is wrong, which it is. Just because something horrible happens to you, doesn't excuse your horrible actions.

And this is coming from someone who was a victim of DV for 14 CONSECUTIVE YEARS, and witness their father get SA'ed by their mother. That doesn't mean I can sexually assault another person, just because of my trauma.

Multiple serial killers have a traumatic past or horrible familial backgrounds, that doesn't excuse what they've done.

But if they did blame rhysand for what happend or if they said rhysand "enjoyed" it or "wanted" it. Then yes, they'd be in the wrong. But they didn't say that.

I mean you had replied multiple times to the anon person & agreed with them right up until another person ( @merwgue ) had “fact-checked” & said that what anon was saying wasn’t true at all about @booksnwriting or @viktoriaashleyyx

Hottest is defined as if you saw these four couples walking down the street together, who would you stop and say “holy shit” for?

“Elain killed the King of Hybern”

Actually, it was Nesta who made the killing blow. Hope this helps!

I may have asked this question before but I have a bad memory. So, entertain me!

Rhys and Feyre are mirrors, they both would and have done the “wrong” thing in order to save the ones they love. They both would rather take on the struggle alone then share the burden. They both don’t view themselves as worthy of what they have, and can only truly love themselves when they love each other. It’s why they work so well, they both mirror the other.

When Feyre says “I see you” to Rhys it’s incredibly powerful because she’s not only seeing him but herself. Feyre only begins to forgive herself for what she did UTM by realizing that she could never condemn Rhys for his actions, because she would have done the same.

Rhys hatred of Nesta over Elain, is because Nesta does not appreciate (at least outwardly) everything Feyre did. It’s not just about Feyre providing for the family and them not, it’s about her treatment she got for sacrificing everything. Rhys knows what’s that like, Rhys has done that and knows what it’s like to be insulted for it. And while he doesn’t ever try to defend himself when insulted he can’t bear to see Feyre insulted over her sacrifices.

It’s the same way Feyre cannot comprehend how people can disregard and insult what Rhys did to save his people. Feyre goes ape shit over any insult towards Rhys, but more or less tolerates Nesta’s abusive comments towards her.

It’s because she’s his mirror, and he is hers.

And if we’re think of in canon, despite all the problems and plotholes with the pregnancy it makes sense that Feyre would be quick to forgive. Feyre would do the same, if she knew Rhys was going to die she would do everything to find a cure before he died. It’s not right, but Feyre takes on the burden of others the same way Rhys does. She understands him and his actions better then anyone else. And he understands her equally as well.
