Vanserra hair is red. Yes. My headcanon is that Vanserra hair takes on the tone and flickering quality of the flame source cast upon it. So when lit in candlelight, it takes on the colour and flickering of that flame. Does this make sense?
Sooooo when Nesta's flames are cast, Vanserra hair becomes silver, taking on the colour and movement of her flames.
I hope I explained that clearly, I feel like I'm about to burst. I need someone to be as excited about this as I am. Please and thank you. 😭😭

symptoms are not morality.
This might be early since I haven't finished the book yet but
SJM is a misogynistic mastermind, like to the point that her work should be studied to understand it
This last chapter so perfectly encapsulated the hierarchy of misogyny and white supremacy
500 black freedom fighters are murdered by the oppressive colonial regime
The black Princess of that kingdom comes to her white friend, the FMC, crying and seeking comfort
This is summed up in two paragraphs, saying the Princess cried then went back to being a Strong Black Woman™ "tears dried and shoulders squared once more."
The narrative then shifts completely to the white FMC but instead of sitting with what has happened and resolving to kill the head of the regime.
The focus is on the fact that she's having her period and it's particularly painful. Already her personal pain eclipses the horror of the systemic oppression of black people and the grief of her friend.
The Male Lead #2 comes along and tries to talk about his own disillusionment with his country after the horrific event but FMC vomits to shift the audience's attention once again. It's played off a little humourous, what a dopey guy - he realises she's on her period, blushes and leaves.
Enter Male Lead #1 : first, he must flirt correctly by ignoring her discomfort and downplaying her pain, staying when she asks him to leave.
Then when she has snapped and become the bad guy for reacting to him, her guilt eases the way for her to ignore her pain to accommodate him.
She is on the back foot but he saves her by reaching out a hand to put them on a more equal and intimate ground - "don't call me by my title, call me by my name"
(The narrative will ignore that he is in her bedroom while she's on her period and therefore it has been quite the intimate setting all along because that's not sexy, it's just an invasion of personal space)
Now that they've slipped into this intimacy he reaches for the go to "you probably hate me🥺" knowing damn well she has every right to not like him. In this case his father invaded and conquered her country only 10 years ago, she was enslaved in a mine only 3 months ago and now she's forced to fight to earn her own freedom
Still though, the guilt of her earlier outburst and his sudden vulnerability will soften her
He carries on about how he's ashamed of his father and afraid to act out against him.
"I have no choice 😔" says the prince to the prisoner
And she eats it up - look how soft and lonely he is in this palace, thinks the girl with whip scars on her back, guards outside her door and no family left living. She forgets her cramps and suddenly it's her heart not her vagina that's bleeding
a white man's emotional pain >
a white woman's physical pain >
the murder and grief of black people >
The perfect hierarchy of misogyny + racism
FUCK THIS FUCKING CHAPTER AND FUCK SJM FOR REAL
The stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️
If SJM doesn’t compare Gwyn’s freckles to the stars and constellations of the night sky as Azriel kisses her skin remembering the times he used to pray to those same stars as a child trapped away then what’s the point ?????????
