The Wicked Reader

The Valkyrie Fairy trilogy is now complete 🖤🥀

Commissioned with the talented Carasalexandra

the Cauldron:

'She's useless and will be a powerless nobody in the next book!!'

the Mother, Mask, Crown, and Harp:

'Amren was right. She IS a waste of life!!'

Emerie, Gwyn, Elain, and Feyre:

'Nobody even cares about her!!'

the sea, wind, Prison, ancient deadly creatures, some Death Gods, and the goddess who created everything:

'Shes done nothing but be a bitch and act like a toddler!!'

Rhysand, Nyx, Feyre, some injured soldiers, the rest of Prythian who she helped save:

'You guys act like she's actually scary 💀 she does nothing but POINT'

the King of Hybern, Queen Briallyn, the Kelpie, hundreds of hybern soldiers:

'Who would even want her??'

Cassian the General and Lord of Bloodshed, Helion the High Lord of Day, Eris the future High Lord of Autumn, Lanthys the ancient powerful monster who could take over Prythian, a Duke, and half a fandom:

Nesta saying that she deserved what they did to her is a trauma response. Nesta saying that they were right to lock her up because she was drinking and having casual sex is a trauma response.

She was clawing at her own body looking for a way to negate the pain and loneliness she felt. And maybe I read her Healing arc completely differently but she didn't heal when they forced her to train, or they forced her to train with Cassian or when they locked her up in a house ten thousand steps into the sky.

Nesta began to heal when she met Gwyn and Emerie and the other priestesses and the House became her friend.

So again, Nesta saying she deserves what they did to her is a trauma response because what the IC did to was traumatic too. There's no soft skill way to relocate someone to a prison without warning and then demolishing their home, aside from the body altering physical training (good in the long run but she was aching plenty along the way) and being told that everyone hates her (again, whether it's true or not is another story) is abusive.

y’all realize that jude is the one who has spent her entire life training for battle and combat. she’s going to have some muscle after years of running around with heavy-ass swords. also, she’s human. compared to faeries, she’s going to be a bit more bulky in comparison

cardan, however, has spent his entire life laying around. it’s detailed that he is shit at combat, and avoids it at all costs. he doesn’t do anything that would tone his muscles. in addition, have you seen the art from 3.5? he is drawn as having a thin figure.

I hate using this sentence but damnn please just go touch some grass 🥴

These are books about winged faeries finding their soulmates and talking furries I- like- BE SERIOUS
