What I’m Not Understanding Here, I Suppose, Is The American Understanding Of Ethnicity In SJM’s World.

What I’m not understanding here, I suppose, is the American understanding of ethnicity in SJM’s world.

Some people seem to think Tamlin is Germanic or Dutch….even though he is based off Tam Lin from Scottish mythology. He plays the fiddle, again very coded, fiddles are heavily associated with Northern English, Scottish and Irish folk music.

They celebrate Calanmai in the Spring court…which is Welsh…and Calanmai is written in the Welsh language…so very Welsh.

Roses have a very important meaning in British history, especially red and white ones, considering we had a civil war called the Wars of the Roses. The House of Lancaster was represented by a red roses, House of York White and House of Tudor combined the two roses. Also an attractive English woman is called an ‘English Rose’ see Princess Diana’s funeral song where she is called ‘England’s Rose’. I find this bit funny to be honest, since Tamlin never calls Feyre the Spring Court’s rose but he says he loves her “thorns and all.”Roses are important symbolism in the Spring court as well seeing as how Feyre has a panic attack at seeing red roses/the first book is literally A Court of Thorns and Roses. Tamlin’s parents have a rose garden and Feyre rips a rose out and cuts herself on the thorns (personally I think this could be symbolic that she was never supposed to be part of his family). In fact, she chucks the rose into a bush and Tamlin picks it up to put it behind her ear.

Roses become a theme of Feyre’s rejection of Tamlin, funnily and sadly enough. He brings her a bouquet of white roses from his parent’s garden and she dismisses them.

Tamlin’s beast form looks like a lion…the national animal of Britain.

I fail to understand how you can think Tamlin is not Scottish/British from the text after looking at all of that.

You know something that I’d like to see with the Illyrians? Clothes that actually fit the environment of the Illyrian Steppes. It’s described to be very cold, with brutal winds (duh it’s called Windhaven) but their battle armor just doesn’t really fit that? Even Nesta is like “yo I’m freezing where is the furs?” and Emerie is like “yeah it’s pretty expensive.” Yall, do you know how common hunting and furs would be? It would be a widely needed thing so maybe it’s more expensive if you’re not a hunter / you’re poor, but 1. They’re a warrior race in an isolated wilderness, they would for sure hunt, and 2. Clothes that fit the environment should be a pretty common thing instead of skin tight leathers. Skin tight leathers is crazyyyyyy when it’s that fucking cold. Like, yeah sure Cassian is like Illyrians are all about gritting your teeth and barring the cold, BUT I think your army dying of hypothermia might be important to avoid lmao. And when it comes to flying it can help, plus leather and furs is still light compared to other armor so I don’t think it would be too heavy for flying. They carry around a shit ton of metal weapons lmao.

And because I love visuals, I would love to see Illyrian leathers looking more like Mongol / Kazakhstan / Turkish, where weather is extreme and winters are very long and brutal.

@nestaarcheronweek Day 3 - True North

One of my favorite parts of ACOSF is seeing Nesta come into her own as a warrior. She’s collected some titles along the way — Valkyrie, Oristian, Lady Death — and I think her path is going to continue taking her to new heights in combat. With Cassian, the Valkyries, Ataraxia, and the Trove at her side, she’s a force to be reckoned with throughout Prythian (and maybe beyond?).

Thank you to the amazing @shakioo for creating this fanart! Doing this series of Valkyrie art with you has been so much fun!!

Kallias and Viviane let Rhysand off the hook a little too easy about the Winter Court children. They're just supposed to believe it was another Daemati when Rhysand was tormenting them all UtM and Rhysand couldn't even provide the name of this other Daemati? All this evidence against him and they just believe his word? just like that?

"How could you do this" with the help of the demon blade "this isn't you" well yeah it's me and the demon blade "I know you're a good person" yeah that wasn't in question "please come home" not if you're gonna be a dick to the demon blade "we need to destroy the demon blade" listen I don't come to family gatherings and say we Need To Destroy aunt cassie and she's genuinely evil, unlike the demon blade
