Curate, connect, and discover
Update: I fucked up. He’s listening to the ACTED OUT AUDIO BOOK
Y’all….
I’m talking to this really cute guy and I happened to mention that I’m really in to ACOTAR and then he starts reading it???? So he can talk about it with me???? I’m cooked 💀
Wait…
Are the Vanserras fire proof or fire resistant?
I don’t know about y’all but I haven’t heard much about ACOTAR outside of the current Shipwar ( probably my fault cause I can’t stop interacting with the Azriel tags)
So here are some of my non romance related theories for the books:
- Azriel or Cassian is actually Rhys half brother
- Nesta is going to become high lady dusk court
- Elain is hiding part of her powers
- Truth teller is not just a knife it’s a scrying device (I have a post on this)
- We are gonna see Briar (from ACOWAR) again
- The people of Hewn city are being affected by the evil of the mountain/ there is some hidden evil (Asteri???) sleeping under the mountain
- Each of the 3 mountains of Pyrithian have a portal that connects to another world/ dimension
- The monolith on top of Ramiel takes you to the place you need to be the most
- Reincarnation is a thing and either Cassian or Nesta is a reincarnation of Enalius
- Amren is ‘from our world’
- Elain is going to be apart of a coven
Happy Friday 13th y’all!
The scariest thing about today is my 2 year long ACOTAR obsession
Allergies I think ACOTAR characters have (canon/not canon)
Nesta- pollen
Cassian- pollen
Feyre- dairy
Rhys- cats
Azriel- tree nuts
Tamlin- eggs
Gwyn- soy
Elain- ants
Eris- shellfish
Helion- latex
Amren- people
Mor- wheat
I really wish that the fae in Acotar were a bit more wild. A little freaky if you will. I wish they acted more feral and like the fae from myths. It would be more fun I think
What was SJM thinking when she made Illyrians a race with BAT LIKE WINGS live in the freezing mountains of the night court???
Bats have a large surface area because of their membranous wings
They lose heat very fast and that’s why they thrive in warm climates
They would all be freezing or dead
In ACOTAR there are all those “strained leathers”
Do you think the leathers squeak?
Like everything is quiet and then there’s a tense sexual moment followed by a squeak?
If I was Sarah J Maas I would definitely include a time skip in the next Acotar book. Imagine having a 45-70 year old Elain be the main character!
- She would have officially been fae longer than human (the turmoil)
- Both of her love interests could have been pining after her for years (imagine the angst!!!)
- She could be ready to leave the night court and go on a solo adventure to the continent
It would be so cool to have her be mature instead of the younger MCs we typically get!
I still can’t get over how Mor’s POV in ACOFAS was just collectively forgotten…
Like, she was in the woods and there was a powerful dark entity STALKING HER
And then we get no further information and it’s been like six years
I’ve never heard any one even mention it
I can’t remember when/where but I think SJM said that TOG and ACOTAR are happening at the same time. But TOG ends with “in a kingdom long since burned to ash”. So does that mean ACOTAR is also in “the past”?
That makes me wonder….
- Who was the first of the inner circle to die?
- When did Nyx become high lord?
- Did he ever form his own inner circle?
- If Rhys/Feyre were the first to die then did Azriel/Cassian/Nesta/Amren/Mor all serve under Nyx as he became highlord?
Just some sad thoughts 😔
I definitely think he can manipulate his shadow. He probably hides it during spy work
After UTM a few months pass where Feyre is alive and “okay”, is it ever mentioned if she made contact with her sisters to let them know she was alive? Because last time they saw her she was going off to single-handedly rescue a High lord from the strongest fae in Prythian….
I know she didn’t visit them, but did she write a note? Between her leaving for UTM and then coming to them for help, about half a year passes. Did she let them know she is alive?
So in ACOMAF it is kind of established that although Prythian hasn’t gone through an Industrial Revolution or anything, they still have mechanical items (like Lucien’s eye).
So now I’m wondering how long it’s going to take them to figure out that rising heat (flame) can make things float (hot air ballon).
Which puts the image of the Autumn court (Eris specifically) powering solo hot air balloons around the courts
Acotar headcanon:
Okay, so you know how when Nesta is kidnapped and forced to perform the blood rite, Cassian is freaking out thinking that she could be dead and he might not even know it. Then Azriel assures him that if she died Cassian would know because they are mates….
Well what if there was a fae (maybe Azriel, idk) and they lived in Pythian but their mate was mortal and lived in another world (I definitely think that some mates are currently separated by worlds). And since they are mortal every time they die their fated mate feels it. Same with every time they are reincarnated (I also think that in the SJM universe characters are reincarnated) (more on that theory later)
When Rhys was UTM Feyre said he was pale but then when she saw him a few months later he was tan from the sun. So that means that the Fae can tan. Which brings me to my question. Do Illyrians have really weird tan lines from constantly wearing fighting leathers?
Do you think Azriel has a normal shadow? Like he has all of his “magic” shadows but do you think he casts a regular shadow when light hits him? If so, why can’t he control that one? If not, do you think anyone has noticed?
BIG THEORY!!!!! (Acotar and HOFAS spoilers)
So in the ACOTAR series truth teller is described as an obsidian hilted blade. And then in HOFAS when Azriel, Nesta, and Bryce are in the prison the Asteri tells Azriel he’s not using Truth teller to its full potential….
I have recently been researching scying and divination and one common form of it is looking into an obsidian mirror…..
what if truth teller can act as a scrying device???
It could potentially look into future? One other form of scrying we have seen in the series was when Elain tracked the suriel from across the lands. So maybe it could also track through space….
Wait.
What if truth teller can scry through space and time? Across all dimensions???
Bone carver theory part two:
When Cassian sees the bone carver we don’t get a description of what he sees, only that he is in shock by who it is.
My original bone carver theory: The bone carver takes the form of a person with a secret that you don’t know until it’s too late.
I’m wondering if the bone carver appeared to him as his mother….
In the books Rhys, Azriel, and Cassian are all the most powerful Illyrian warriors basically EVER. Both Az and Cassian require 7 siphons to channel their magic and strength.
- Rhys’s power comes from his royal bloodline
- Az’s power has something to do with his shadows
- So why is Cassian ( a supposed bastard) so freaking powerful?
I think that his mother never told him the truth about his father and his father is possibly part of a powerful bloodline of lords or royalty or something. Which is part of the reason he was so quick to dismiss Cassian’s lower class mother.
In the books the bone carver also calls him “the prince of bastards” so maybe Cassian’s bloodline makes him a prince?
Which would also be interesting cause Nesta’s mother always said she would marry a prince…
Bone Carver theory:
In the books Feyre, Rhys, and Cassian each have an encounter with the bone carver.
- Feyre sees him as her future son (But, later says that the bone carver didn’t appear to her with wings)
- Rhysand sees him as Jurian
- We don’t know how Cassian sees him
I think that the bone carver appears as a person with a secret that you don’t know until it’s too late.
- Nyx’s secret was his wings, which Feyre didn’t know could kill her until late in her pregnancy
- and Jurian’s secret was that he was never allied with the king. Which could have been extremely helpful to the Night court in the war, had Rhys looked into his mind.
