The ending of Francesca mirroring the feeling of a storm to play on the motif of punishment for the lustful being an endless hurricane that sweeps them off their feet only for the vocals to defiantly assert that he would not change a thing and that heaven could not fit such a love anyway, is exactly the kind of deconstructive intertextual brilliance I’m expecting from this album and this is exactly why I want to marry Mr. Hozier for his brain not his body
ERIS! ERIS! ERIS!!! AHHHH PLEASE there aren’t enough Eris fics out there 🥺🥺😭😭
okay, okay this was totally enough to convince me to do it! the vibe is (not quite) enemies to lovers, hades/persephone, predator-prey type-a-deal.
stick with me on this one guys!
Like I see it starting when Eris is our New High Lord of Autumn and he's still jaded from his childhood and the things his dad made him do. he's got a complicated relationship with his brothers but he's trying so hard to be good. he's broody and angsty and doesn't really open up to anyone cause they all still think he's this unfeeling killer when really its not the case at all.
like sure yeah he's angry and dealing with a lot of trauma and he's not a good communicator but we can fix him right? Because deep down he's sweet and he loves fiercely and just wants to build a better world for his people and to build a family and run round in fields with his dogs. we get protective eris and he gets to be vulnerable around reader once he starts to fall for her and then when the mating bond snaps into place??? he's feral sexy and dark but soft for her!!!
made a quick moodboard to show the vibes but any title suggestions would be much appreciated.
the weather is getting hot here so fair warning that i’m entering my insufferable hater season ✌️ peace and love tho

you are good even when you are unemployed.
you are good even when you need to rely on others’ help.
you are good even when you are depressed.
you are good even when you are hurt.
you are good even when you are scared.
you are good even when you are overwhelmed.
you are good even when you are not tidy.
you are good even when you are confused.
you are good even when you have difficulty performing tasks.
you are good even when you feel like you’ll never measure up to being an adult.

Seeing multiple men on tiktok (because of course) praising Cassian for being “such a good guy” and saying “Nesta doesn’t deserve him” is scary. But unfortunately not surprising in the the least bit.
How can you read about Cassian
locking Nesta in a house house she can’t escape without his help
laughing at Nesta physically harming herself
telling Nesta everybody hates her
Throwing a temper tantrum and yelling at Nesta in public when Nesta doesn’t want to accept the mating bond
Taking advantage of Nesta and using her for sex when he knows she is in a bad mental state and using sex as a coping mechanism
Not to mention Cassian locking her in a house making him her only option for sex which he knows that’s her only coping mechanism now that he’s taken alcohol away from her.
And not come to the conclusion that he is an abusive piece of shit. Like I said it’s scary men see Cassian as “good person”
A little study of Quannah Chasinghorse at the met tonight because she’s just so 😭
Mor using Cassian for her own selfish wants:
"I'd picked him not just for his kindness, but also because I wanted my first time to be with one of the legendary Illyrian warriors. I wanted to lie with the greatest of Illyrian warriors, actually."
"After I got what I wanted, after... everything, I didn't like that it caused a rift with him and Rhys, or even him and Az, so... never again."
Some sort of leftover desire for Mor on Cassian's behalf:
"He just wants what he can't have, and it's irritated him for centuries that I walked away and never looked back."
"Oh, it drives him insane," Rhys said from behind me, and I jumped.
Mor using Cassian as a buffer and him indulging her:
Found Azriel still by the window, Cassian now rubbing Mor's feet. Nesta had retired to her own room without a word—and remained there.
"Good," Cassian said, rubbing at the arch of Mor's foot.
Cassian ran a hand down the back of her hair. Azriel didn't so much as turn from his vigil at the window, though I could have sworn his wings tucked in a bit tighter.
Mor is perfectly aware of Azriel's self-deprecation but is a coward and does nothing to make him see otherwise:
"Azriel thought I deemed him unsuitable. He started to confess what he felt, and I panicked, and... and to get him to stop, to keep him from saying he loved me, I just turned and left."
"I could peel off my clothes right in front of him and he wouldn't move an inch. He'll see himself as a bastard-born nobody, and not good enough for anyone. Especially me."
Mor basically then admits that she likes using Cassian to keep Azriel, who hasn't made any moves on her ever since he tried confessing, away from her as long as she doesn't need to face the situation head on:
"I'm petrified to face him—to tell him he's spent five hundred years pining for someone and something that won't ever exist. The potential fallout... I like things the way they are."
Cassian's descriptions here just irk me:
Mor grinned, so beautiful it took his breath away.
He again let himself admire her perfect face.
But he could still admire her sheer beauty—as he’d admire any work of art. Even though he knew well that what lay inside Mor was far more lovely and perfect than her exterior.
To me, Mor is nothing but selfish. It's been said that Azriel thinks very low of himself due to the rejection and hasn't attempted anymore romantic advances yet she continues to drive the knife deeper.
She sleeps with Helion, with Azriel near, just to "make a point".
She uses Cassian, Azriel's best friend, just to "make a point." (Although Cassian's involvement in this also boils my blood and I hate his actions)
Don't even get me started on how she treats Nesta...
Personally? I just want her gone from the series🤷♀️
