A Court Of Mist And Fury - Blog Posts

Silly Game Time: Bringing back a crowd favorite! Pick one story you really like (could be a movie, a show, a book, a game, etc.) and summarize it in *one* sentence. The more absurd-sounding the sentence is, the better!

Uh ACOTAR. from book one to three.

A hunter is bound to her thought to be fictional kidnapper, who she gains love for, faces trials against a tyrant for him, gains supper powers after actually dieing, finding her mate (abo style) in the process, who she then leaves her kidnapper for, because he was abusing her, only to face another tyrant on the brink of war with an emo alpha male with his winged and non-winged cult followers serving them as their new king and queen.

This is not one sentence, this is a paragraph but I really can't summarize it that much

No, but Rhys saying "There you are. I've been looking for you" gives so Howl's "Yaah, gomein gomein(which in the subs is "There you are, sorry I'm late" which ik it isn't but still) and the whole scene. Well, except for the fact that Feyre was in a more sour pickle than Sophie bit that's the whole vibes of them. So yeah. That's that

Hello there!! So a few nights ago I was just thinking about how it's kind of ridiculous that we call Tamlin a tampon. Because a tampon is actually kind of useful, ykwim? And then I was like, but we needed Tamlin so that Feyre would go to Prythian. And then I was like, "Yeah, and you gotta throw away a used tampon cuz it gets toxic, just like Tamlin did" and idk if this was it, but that made me realize that this is it

Friendly Reminder

Rhys had a little sister that we'll never see him get over protective over. We'll never see her push his hand off as he ruffled her her(I feel Iike that would have happened a lot). We won't ever see her interaction with Feyre. Or anyone else as a matter of fact. And idk if better or worse that we never saw her, we know nothing of her, but at least we're not attached as much. Unlike the inner Circle, I wonder how much they miss both of them.

(PS: I have read only till ACOWAR so if I'm missing something after that, yeahhhh)

My fav is the guy who’s literal job is to torture people 🥰🦇🥰

we should all stop trying to justify rhys being a good person or cassian being a good person and instead just accept that they all kinda suck as people and we should just choose our fav criminal to stan

If you see this you’re legally obligated to reblog and tag with the book you’re currently reading

acotar, a summary: horny faeries, everyone hates each other or wants each other, stabby, the word “mate” x500 more times than you want to see it, socio-political struggles?, vin diesel level “family” dedication, giant bat babies with tickle spots, himbos and bad bitches, smut

And I love it

This whole Elriel and Gwynriel debate has turned into a very messy, toxic, and violent capture-the-flag event with every single word SJM has ever written, and it's both very upsetting and exhausting. The complete lack of respect for other people in the fandom just because they believe different theories or ship a different couple or whatever is ridiculous. Please just chill. If you find yourself mad enough to send unwarranted hate to a random artist because they made fun fanart of a couple you don't ship, maybe you need a glass of water and some food. Redirect that energy into taking care of yourself instead of tearing down others for no reason.

Inner Circle

Soooooo if I were to say the inner circle (Rhysand, Cassian, Az, Mor) are weird asf would I get jumped for that bc.......

Sarah J. Maas Book Cover Redesigns

If people want them, I can make these into mobile/desktop wallpapers for patrons. See below for Patreon link.

Recently, it was revealed that Maas’ ACOTAR book covers got a redesign. 

No offense to the designer - because I try not to go out of my way to publicly bash someone’s design work that they spent time on - but I’m not alone in saying that those covers aren’t the greatest. 

From a design standpoint, the colors clash too heavily with the tone of the stories. While bright colors can be fun, they don’t match the books they represent. (Not to mention the color combo on the grey hardback covers is almost hard to read because they appear less bright and look washed out.) 

Maas seems to lean more on Eastern-esque art influences for reprints lately, and it’s honestly very confusing. Given the settings and characters, these do not work for the stories inside. If these covers had an updated color palette and were used for an Asian-inspired story, I think they’d be better because the illustrations are beautiful. But they’re just not ACOTAR. 

I’ve made my own minimalist book covers for A Court of Thorns and Roses and A Court of Mist and Fury. 

Yes I have my watermark on them. No I won’t remove them. 

The original designer attempted to do a minimal look, but they didn’t take advantage of the iconography and setting these books offered for a truly illustrative and still minimal set of covers. 

Stay tuned for when I do ACOWAR and ACOFAS next!

Rereading 'A court of thorns and roses' after a year for research related purposes🤪- part 1

Feyre was in her flop era babes

WAIT WHY DO I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO RECOLLECTION OF THIS CHARACTER HE'S NEVER MENTIONED AGAIN😭

Feyre so humble and selfless you guys she's not like other girls frrr

Omg it's almost like- like the wolf and the doe are a METAPHOR for the power dynamic between Feyre and Tamlin🤔

GROWL??? RHYSAND IS THAT YOU??🤨🤨

Elain's literally so annoying like honeybear why don't you grow some vegetables or something🥰

okay *Tamlin shows up*

This bargain makes no sense to me like i know there's some bigger stuff going on but this is the equivalent of "you killed my bestie? well now you have to suffer living with me☺"

PROTECT NESTA AAAHHHH

Lucien was actually my favorite character in the first book he's the only one with a personality 💀

How to get the girl 101 with Tamlin😎

Ayyo how are we all forgetting the women's rights movement of 2021 when our feminist icon rhysand chose not to tell his very pregnant wife that the birth would 100% kill her🤨🤨

He pretty much went around battling misogyny with his mountain shaking roars y'all could never-

"Enemies to lovers this!!" "friends to lovers that!!" "no rivals to lovers is superior!!" "It goes strangers to rivals to forced friendship to fake lovers to real lovers to enemies to-" Sweetie please call your therapist back they're worried about you🥰

Book quotes that made me believe in love again<3

•His lips come too close. “But I love you.”

“No you don’t.”

His eyes close. He leans his forehead against mine. “You have no idea what you do to me.”

“I hate you.”

He shakes his head very slowly. Dips down. His nose brushes the nape of my neck and I stifle a horrified shiver that he misunderstands. “God I’d love to just take a bite out of you.”

~Aaron Warner to Juliette in shatter me. He then proceeded to kiss her because love<3

•“You're my sister," he said finally. "My sister, my blood, my family. I should want to protect you"—he laughed soundlessly without any humor—"to protect you from the sort of boys who want to do with you exactly what I want to do."

~Jace Herondale to Clary Fray,, love between siblings is so rare these days :')

•“I do so prefer hand-to-hand combat with you,” he said, catching my other wrist when I swung my fist down. “I like how close it brings us, Princess.”

I shrieked my frustration—my irritation—at him. At myself. “There is something so wrong with you!”

“Probably, but you know what?” He lifted his head off the ground. “That’s the part you like the most.”

~Casteel telling Poppy that he's getting turned on while she's trying to kill him. Who said romance is dead?

•“When you lick me,” he said roughly, “I want to be alone—far away from everyone. Because when you lick me, Feyre,” he said, pressing nipping kisses to my jaw, my neck, “I’m going to let myself roar loud enough to bring down a mountain.”

“And when I lick you,” he said, sliding his arms around me and tucking me in tight to him, “I want you splayed out on a table like my own personal feast.”

~my personal fav. Rhysand comparing his wife to food,, the same food that he gives her a choice in eating<33 100/10 love it. Mates 4 life.

•"There is nothing that I can give you. Nothing I want to give you. You are not owed an explanation for what I do outside of training. I don’t care what you have been through or what you want to do with your life. The sooner you can sort out your whining and self-pity, the sooner I can be rid of you. You are nothing to me, and I do not care.”

~Rowan to Aelin while she's desperately looking for a friend. Awwww do birds say different stuff to the people they like? Love to see the representation<3

•James," she said. "You don't love me."

He rose to his feet. He was no longer kneeling, and she was glad for it, but he was still close to her-- so close to her she could have reached out and set her palm against his chest.

"No," he said. "I don't."

She knew that. Hearing him say it still felt like a blow, unexpected and shocking, like the moment when you were stabbed. The surprise was how much it hurt.”

~James to cordelia,, such a beautiful scene. 1000/10 love it<333

•“There will be nothing left,” I whispered.

“No,” he said gently as he folded me in his arms. He pressed a kiss to the top of my hair. “I will strip away all that you know, all that you love, until you have no shelter but me.”

~Aleks tryna get the girl by murdering everyone she knows :')) play lover by Taylor swift<3

•"Did you . . ." Luke coughed and his lips glistened red. "Did you love me?"

Annabeth wiped her tears away. "There was a time I thought . . . well, I thought . . ."

"You were like a brother to me, Luke," she said softly. "But I didn't love you."

He nodded, as if he'd expected it. He winced in pain.

~My boy Luke flirting with a 16 year old while bleeding to death :)) he's the definition of dedication. Spoiler- he doesn't get the girl.

•“You came back for me.”

“I protect my investments.” Investments.

“I’m glad I’m bleeding all over your shirt.”

~Kazzle Dazzle calling the girl he likes an investment. Guys take notes<3

Things I wanna see less in fantasy~

Female protagonists having the best character arcs and personal growth only to lose their powers for the "greater good". Like? Let them be happy WITH POWERS?? ALINA'S LIGHT??? AELIN'S FIRE???? NESTA'S DEATH MAGIC??? TESSA'S SHAPE-SHIFTING??

What's the best trope and why's it Character A waking up from a nightmare, screaming and character B telling them to look at them and that it's just a bad dream?

okay but remember when Nikolai Lantsov said~"There had been a time when words had been the only place he could find solace. No book ever lost patience with him or told him to sit still."

And when Tessa Grey said~"One must always be careful of books, and what is inside them, for words have the power to change us."

And when Feyre Archeron said~"I was burning through books every day - stories about people and places I'd never heard of. They were perhaps the only thing that kept me from teetering into utter despair."

And when Will Herondale said~"We live and breathe words. It was books that kept me from taking my own life after I thought I could never love anyone, never be loved again. It was books that made me feel that perhaps I was not completely alone."

And when Celaena Sardothien said~"I can survive well enough on my own- if given proper reading material."

Shopping Books Bienal São Paulo (2024)🇧🇷

I didn't take many photos or record many videos. I visited the stands of Galera Record, Arqueiro & Sextante, Flyve and many others. It was a magical experience that will live in my memory rent-free for a long time😹💖🦋

Have you read any of these books?📚

I love Trolls and had no idea there were books about them!

And I finally have the complete collection of A.G. Howard's books (I love a good Alice in Wonderland fanfic).

I also bought A Court of Mist and Fury (Acomaf). Honestly, I don't care about having the others. This is simply the best of the saga and the most well-structured.
