Me being curious and doing a dumb survey here.
I want to see what kind of age range a fandom around ‘New Adult’ sits in. The books are often put in the YA section, but there’s smut in them, and we all know the fandom LOVES chapter 55. This is kind of for relevant data for the ‘Is Sex in YA OKAY?’ debate.
Spreadsheet with results (being updated whenever I can) can be viewed here for those who are interested. Feel free to use this data for whatever fandom Meta/discussion you like.

I came across some cards, describing personages. And I decided to draw them, with their favorite animals. To be continued...
What was the purpose of blocking me on a priv account if the goal wasn’t to hurt me. You KNEW it wasn’t out of malice too. I made it super clear how I felt and how you have brought me to a point where I put my pride aside and said my deepest thoughts out loud. You took enough from me I don’t want you to see me at my lowest points anymore, pathetic even.
Not even your own enemy will treat you with such carelessness and cruelty
The most dangerous friend you can have is a male obsessed woman
Will, upon Matthew’s arrival at the institute: Okay kid, if you’re going to be a part of this family, you have to be put on rotation for the Weekly Sacrifice
Matthew: The what?
James: Each week, one of us has to pretend to be sick so that he can call Brother Zachariah over.
Will: You’re the newcomer, so it’s your turn, and-
Matthew, having crawled into bed, shivering under blankets, wailing: CALL THE BROTHERS, I AM MOST VILELY ILL!!!
James: A common cold would suffice…
Matthew: I HAVE DROPSY! DEATH IS IMMINENT! AH, DEAR LOST YOUTH
Will: …Excessive. I like it.
I’m using the screenshot because I want to respect the tagging etiquette (unlike the majority of this fandom apparently).
Yes, I do not like Fey/sand.
Reasons:
I dislike both R and F. I find them very annoying, self-absorbed, overpowered and overrated characters. I think it is normal that if you don’t like the characters, you won’t like the pairing that consists of them.
I think that R’s actions towards F during the first book are disgusting and inexcusable. I can’t believe the narrative AND the fandom forgave him as soon as he said that he did what he did for her own good and because he loved her.
Their whole relationship is built upon Tam’s character assassination. S/jm had to make him into some abusive monster in order to make R seem better. Unpopular opinion, perhaps, but I think whatever Tam did, what R did was 100 worse.
They always support each other even if the other deserves to be called out. For example, when F invaded Luci/en’s mind just because she could.
They are portrayed as the most perfect people fairies in the world and the flaws they actually have are constantly being excused and brushed off.
I’m sick of F repeating the mantra “My choice. He gave me the choice. He wants to make sure that I know I will always have a choice with him” or “My mate, who sacrificed so much and blah blah blah”. She stopped being a character with her own agenda and personality, and became R and his dick’s worshipper.
Their sex scenes are cringy af and too long.
I hate them for mistreating Luci/en. My boy deserves happiness.
I will never forgive them (especially R) for treating Ne/sta (I can’t believe I write her name like that) the way they did.
There are probably more reasons for my dislike towards them, but this will do.
I apologize for any mistakes.
May my identity be deeply woven as the rocks in the river so no current can sweep it away
no one deserves happiness more than alastair, matthew and jesse
“Disgraceful,” said Mrs Bridgestock. “I know your face. You are that Persian boy. Are you not ashamed to be running around corrupting nice young people? I suppose you are only following your father’s example, but considering what happened to him, you should really know better.”
Cordelia wished to rush to her brother’s defense, but she did not dare move.
Alastair bared his teeth at Mrs Bridgestock. “I should, shouldn’t I?” Cassandra Clare, The Last Hours snippet.
