cassian being like "nesta is a wolf and I love when she unleashes herself on me" when he antagonizes her and then cries about it when she snaps at him. please you're a pussy
elain going “you only thought about how my trauma affected YOU >:(” to nesta and feyre takes me the fuck out because A) girl you did not give a flying fuck about nesta’s AT ALL, B) your trauma did in fact affect nesta because she was your 24/7 caretaker and C) circling back to point A you were pretty snippity about how Nesta’s trauma affected YOU when she didn’t want to come over to family dinner and bake bread or whatever. like what are we even talking about here.
When I was diagnosed at age sixteen, after having one period in the eighth grade and then never again till a medically induced one my junior year of high school - my uterine lining measured in centimeters because it was so thick, my mother turned to me in the car. She was upset. Literal tears in her eyes. And she told me her friend had PCOS, but was still able to have kids. That this was still a possibility for me if I did injections and fertility treatments, etc. My mom had never asked me if I wanted kids, she just assumed.
My first conversation about PCOS with my new endocrine/OBGYN was about weight management and how that could improve my fertility when I eventually wanted kids. It wasn't asked what my goals were for my health or if I wanted kids, just assumed.
I was a hormonal, depressed mess. I hated my body. My body dysmorphia was so bad that I cloistered myself away from so much. I wore hoodies and jeans in the 90°F, 80% humidity summers. This was considered fine. I was given metformin and birth control pills and told this was all that could be done. That PCOS wouldn't affect my life until I wanted to be pregnant. I wasn't asked if I wanted to be pregnant, just assumed.
I don't know how many PCOS groups I joined on my early 20s hoping to find community and commonality for body dysmorphia and symptom management, only to be bombarded with fertility treatments and tips and 'inspirational conception' anecdotes. They never asked if I was attempting to conceive, just assumed.
It's a problem. It's been a problem. And thank god I learned to speak up and find medical professionals that would help me with *MY* goals. I shouldn't have had to, someone should have recognized the needs of that sixteen y.o. and protected her, but I can only hope the conversation changes as awareness increases.

it feels wild to me how the narrative from a lost of Elriels aroeund Gwyn shifted within months from “she’s evil a lightsinger and that’s going to be a plot point in Elriel!” To “she’s not even that important! Why would you ever think she’d be anything but a background character!”
like…..maybe this is just what I’VE seen but I feel like the ‘Gywn’ isn’t relevant idea has just exploded recently…
Coincidentally it happened after the Valkyrie Promo.
And it’s amazing: Gwyn introduced us to the Valkyries and was the first to officially become one.
Who would have thought?
This scene makes me so curious:
Gwyn and Emerie, the former glancing toward Azriel, who watched in silence. “So show me what you learned. Cut the ribbon in two.” we slice the ribbon in two,” Emerie asked Gwyn warily, “and our training is complete?”
Gwyn again glanced to Azriel, who drifted closer. She said, “I’m not entirely sure.”
They were gone for a whole week, and by the time they returned, the beam had already been installed. What happened between Gwyn and Azriel during that time? How did they interact 👀
And then Gwyn looks to him for reassurance, and Azriel drifts closer, almost instinctively, like he's trying to comfort her.
It's such a small moment, but it has me wondering about everything we didn't get to see.
I miss my Gwyneth🤍

Éowyn’s engagement ring
Faramir gives Éowyn a ring with a sea blue gem of Dol Amroth that belonged once to his mother Finduilas. It is a strange gem that shifts in color depending on the nature of light that it reflects. In bright sunlight it shines greenish turquoise, like the clear water of the quays of Dol Amroth in summer. In cloudy weather it becomes silver-gray as the sea in a storm, and in candlelight it looks almost purple, in the way that the ocean reflects the violet shades of coming night.
Faramir gives this ring to his bride-to-be out of love for his mother and her people and as a symbol of renewal of the joy of his house. Yet to Éowyn it takes on different meaning: child of the plains she knows little of the moods of the sea, and instead to her the stone is one of air and wind and sky. All her life she has stared upward at it, wide and arcing. She knows its moods and habits. When the gem sparkles bright blue in the sunlight, she knows that it is the color of a peaceful clear morning, or of a warm afternoon of light wind and endless possibility.
When the gem desaturates of color, she understands it to have taken on that pewter hue of building storms, and instead candlelight the gem sparkles with the violet of last light, of night rising like a wave or a wall and marching steadily over the open lands of the Mark.
The ring is of air and water, of sea and sky, of Rohan and Gondor both, a single object of dual meaning at the dawning of a new age and the welding of a new house.
Holy Fucking Shit
This comment on reddit has blown my mind a little bit, seriously.
Feyre, Elain, Nesta (golden child/scapegoat) : r/acotar
Basically, it points out that when Nesta was dealing with her trauma, everyone's solution was basically to do to her what was done to them.
Morrigan said to throw her out and leave her vulnerable to attack and abuse, just like Morrigan was.
Amren suggested locking Nesta in a dungeon, just as Amren was.
Cassian belittled her and made her feel small, just like Cassian was for being a bastard.
Rhys dangled her as a bait and pimped her out to Eris, just he like had to do to himself UTM with Amarantha.
Elain supported locking Nesta up in the House of Wind, just as Elain was after being Made.
Feyre was also locked up by Tamlin and did the same thing to Nesta.
It's like they've identified a "problem" in their little court, one in need of a "solution", and took advantage of that to get pay back for what they went through by doing it all to Nesta, who ugly and visible in her trauma, and is refusing to play happy families with the rest of them.
(I could theorise why Azriel isn't actively involved in doing this to Nesta, more passively allowing it, seeing as he went through extreme physical abuse from his family, and while I would like to assign benign motives, the fact is that as the court of torturer, if he wanted to take his trauma out on others, then he has plenty of opportunities to do so.)

I’m going to cry like a baby when Emerie flies on her Pegasus.
"it's not that deep"; "don't like, don't read"; "it's just a silly romance book"
Tell that to my YouTube history full with SpongeBob analysis, lore and theories. You may not want to look at the story from these angles, and that's your right, however it's also my right to write my dissertation on these books if I wish.
text: [ “Some of you have forgotten that only three years ago you were perfectly capable of writing an essay, writing a eulogy, telling a bedtime story to a child, and it should worry you that powerful companies have convinced us we can’t do things we’ve been doing for 5000 years.” ]
And they're absolutely specifically pushing it, make no mistake. It's not just a matter of "it's there, it's convenient, so people are going to take the path of the least resistance", it is a legitimate and concerted effort on the part of these companies to get people to outsource all these things to their models.
They're preying on insecurities to do it. Yes, you can write an essay - but can you write a good essay, they ask you. Do you not want to improve your output? Do you not want people to think of you as competent and very clever? Why go through the mortifying process of failing and failing and failing until you succeed if you can just skip the "learning" part of doing, and simply generate a ready-made product?
I'm preaching to the choir here obviously but it's a concerning thing to witness nonetheless. My kid is 6 next week and I've been teaching her that failing at things is morally neutral and in fact necessary even before the advent of AI, but it's becoming ever more important that we teach the kids that criticism and failure and discomfort aren't necessarily bad things, but just a part of the growth process.
AI companies are heavily invested in making themselves relevant. They want people to believe they can't do the things they have done unaided before and to make them become reliant on the AI models, so the AI models' existence is artificially justified.

But existence is lonely and sometime you throw hours and hours of effort into a void, on the slim chance it will say something back.

step one of good media criticism is to remove yourself entirely from your interpretation of the text. step two is to insert yourself back in but in new and thoughtful ways
I can't remember if it was Galera Record or ACOTAR Brasil, but one of them literally had to issue a public statement because of the death threats they were receiving from Elriels. They warned that they were prepared to involve legal authorities if the harassment continued. And somehow, even after that, some Elriels still managed to turn around and play the victim.
What a surprise, it hardly seems like the same people who threatened to use witchcraft even against SJM's children.
