for example this scene in maf is one i refer too all the time:

“We knew what tonight would require of us. Please—please don’t start … protecting me. Not like that.” He knew what I meant. He’d protected me Under the Mountain, but that primal, male rage he’d just shown Keir … A shattered study splattered in paint flashed through my memory.”

“I knew he and Tamlin were different. Knew that Rhysand’s protective anger tonight had been justified, that I would have had a similar reaction.”

feyre’s actions and narration conflict here. the reason that feyre continually draws the distinctions between tamlin and rhysand is because she does not believe that rhysand’s actions (in breaking keir’s arm) is justified. that’s…literally the point in her calling him out:

“Instincts. Just like … like someone else had instincts to protect, to hide me away. “Then you should have prepared yourself better,”

feyre’s words clearly show us that she doesn’t believe that rhysand’s actions are justified. it’s the entire point of the scene. but then we get that one line above that says: “I knew he and Tamlin were different. Knew that Rhysand’s protective anger tonight had been justified, that I would have had a similar reaction.”

feyre (and nesta’s) unreliability is simply the fact that sjm interjects her own opinions, which exist (most times) in conflict to the character’s own thoughts. feyre (in world) does not believe that rhysand is justified in his actions, but sjm (the author) does believe that his actions are justified. this happens very much to nesta.

in short, rhysand is the narrative crutch. the characters are never allowed to form a negative opinion about him, even when naturally…they want to.

this happens in sf:

“Rhysand might be an arrogant, vain bastard, but he was honorable. He fought like hell to protect innocents. Her dislike of him had nothing to do with what he’d proved so many times: he was a fair, just ruler, who put his people before himself. No, she just found his personality—that slick smugness—grating.”

nesta dislikes rhysand. but she isn’t allowed to dislike him. she literally in the same book critiqued his excess wealth, he used magic on her, she believes the Illyrians to be brute bastards (bc they’ve literally treated her like shit up to this point). he took her apartment away, which again, in this same book she deemed unfair. nesta isn’t allowed to actually form her own opinions about him. her narration is completely as biased as feyre’s. sjm believes those things about rhysand….nesta doesn’t.

NESTA, THE HUNTRESS

* She arrives in Autumn one month before the Hunt.

* There are things about Autumn so familiar to Nesta they feel like memories and things so strange they feel like dreams

* It's subtle but Nesta can feel her magic rise closer to the surface in Autumn, the way the flames around her seem to burn brighter and the wind whispers as it flows through the sea of trees.

* Sometimes, walking through the woods, Nesta sees figures moving between the trees, feels a chill run up her spine when she's sure something brushes past her

* She dreams too, strange dreams about running through the woods with blood in her mouth, on her hands. Sometimes Eris is there, red hair glinting in the corner of her eye

* The closer they get to the Hunt, the more she sees, feels and hears. The more restless the thing inside her becomes

* Eris seems to sense it too, he grows quiet around her, watching and waiting

* Other things watch and wait too; owls and foxes, wild horses and stray cats. She isn't sure if these things are happening in her dreams or not.

* She knows it in her bones before it happens, that she is the Hunter.

* That Autumn, and Eris, had been waiting for her. That she would kill Beron and that the magic inside him would find its way into her.

Words can’t express how much I appreciate everyone’s support and encouragement.❤️

And again, thank you @ae-neon so much for inspiring me to do this work

me, with stars in my eyes:

Lucien not knowing he has the power of two courts in him.

Acotar Elon calling himself the most powerful when he can't even get the Veritas from his own uncle, can't enforce the wing-clipping ban, hasn't really changed anything in 400 years

4. They're going to go away soon, and you don't have much time left

“Please,” he begged. “Please, don’t go.”

Nesta held his face in her hands, warm and soft and so excruciatingly gentle that he would have fallen apart at her feet had it not been for the stern look in her eyes. “Don’t make it harder than it already is, my love.”

He shook his head, his scarred, trembling hands grasping her wrists. “Let me. Nesta, please.”

Her gaze softened, that hardened ice melting into shining pools of blue at the sound of strained desperation edging his voice. “Not even you could win against a raging mate, Azriel. If you go, you’ll die.” 

“Good,” he said, his grip on her tighter now. “Good. Anything—anything to keep you safe.”

“Stop.” Nesta’s tone was laced with command. “He’s angry, yes—livid, even, but he won’t hurt me. And if he tries to take me away—” She paused, freeing a hand from Azriel’s grasp to summon that deathly, silver fire. His shadows shot out to her open palm, as if called on by their master, whirling around the cold, silver flames.

Azriel’s heart clenched at the sight. “I can win the Blood Duel on my own.”

Nesta smiled sadly, her other hand sliding down to his neck. “This isn’t a contest, you know. And if it was,” she added, her thumb gently brushing his bobbing throat, “I’d defeat you with little effort.”

A choked sob escaped him, a pathetic attempt at a laugh. “I know,” he told her anyway.

She let go of him at last, those silver flames dying out. “I’ll see you soon.”

“I love you,” he said, as if that alone could stop her.

Nesta didn’t have to answer. He knew she loved him, too, and like every single person before her, she would now have to face the consequences.

"Azriel," her soft voice whispers. Her fingers dance lightly across his cheekbones and he kisses at her palm the only way he knows how. With as much reverence as possible. 

Nesta's hands are warm against his skin and once more he wonders if he's touching the sun. If it's finally come for him after all these years. So close to shadows and she whispers his name and just like that they bow before her. Not to Death, but to someone holier. 

Nesta breathes life back into him.

Nesta smiles, and the shadows around him sing. They move to the sight of her happy and when she laughs, they grow. Every word out of her mouth is music. None so much as his name on her lips.

Her thumb traces his mouth and he kisses at the tip. She means so much to him he can barely comprehend, he can barely speak the words. Here in the night, and he's seen dawn rise from the ashes. There’s no need for day to come. 

"Az," she sings and his breath catches in his lungs as if he's witnessing morning. Sunrise promises and daytime dreams.

"I love you," he says, pressing kisses to her lips as if he's leaving gifts at an alter. On behalf of shadows, he presses his palm to her cheek, "I love you."

“I love you,” he repeats as if sending up prayers. 

Okay but is he gonna put on a skin tight leather outfit with asscheek cut outs and get whipped til his skin is raw?? Is he gonna get pegged Eiffel Tower style?? Does he have a chastity cage??

Or is he just gonna use his shadows to tie some woman up and spank her. Sarah, tell me what you mean
