Everyone Has That One Piece Of Writing That Completely Changes Their View Of The World And Enlightens

Everyone has that one piece of writing that completely changes their view of the world and enlightens them. For me, it's when Margaret Atwood wrote-

"Male fantasies, male fantasies, is everything run by male fantasies? Up on a pedestal or down on your knees, it’s all a male fantasy: that you’re strong enough to take what they dish out, or else too weak to do anything about it. Even pretending you aren’t catering to male fantasies is a male fantasy: pretending you’re unseen, pretending you have a life of your own, that you can wash your feet and comb your hair unconscious of the ever-present watcher peering through the keyhole, peering through the keyhole in your own head, if nowhere else. You are a woman with a man inside watching a woman. You are your own voyeur."

Spoiler alert for ruin and rising by Leigh bardugo!!!

I love the way Leigh bardugo was able to change my mind about mal by the end of ruin of rising but I just can't stop thinking about the alternative ending. I just can't stop picturing aleksander in place of mal. Leigh could have given the darkling the redemption, I feel, he deserves.

Just like how alina loses her powers, Alek could have lost his powers too. Making Alek a normal person without any powers would have been an interesting twist. The og ending of mal and alina taking over the orphanage could have been Alek and alina taking over the orphanage. They could have lived a normal life without any worries about people trying to kill them, without any politics and stress. Alina could have made him a better human.

I know he manipulated alina, hurt or even killed a lot of people but imagine yourself in his place. Imagine going through everything he went. I highly doubt you would have been able to trust people and have faith in others. At the end of the day he was just a lost lonely soul seeking someone like him. Alek could have changed if given a chance. He didn't even get a chance. I know it's her characters and she gets to decide what happens with them but it's just that I can't stop thinking about this!

He deserved better !!!!!!

“Kaltain,” her uncle rumbled, a demand and a threat and a promise.

The silent young woman—the one who never spoke, who never looked at anything, who had such marks on her. Elide had seen her only a few times. Had seen how little she responded. Or fought back.

And then Elide was walking up the stairs.

Up and up, making sure her chains clanked as loudly as possible. Her uncle fell silent.

CAN WE TALK ABOUT HOW BRAVE ELIDE WAS EVEN WHEN SHE WAS POWERLESS SHE STILL USED HER WITS TO STAND UP FOR PEOPLE I LOVE HER OMG.

The acotar fandom is so toxic like there's ignorance of characters' trauma, stupid excuses for characters' actions, so much sexism, so much slut shaming, domesticating literally every female charcter, MiSoGynY, promoting toxic masculinity, glorifying and sexualizing EvErYtHiNg etc.

I'm just happy with Aelin, Dorian, Manon, Elide, Yrene, Chaol, Abraxos, Nesryn, Fenrys, Lysandra and Rowan birdy. Like look at them. They're adorable.

“Hello, Sam,” she breathed onto the river breeze.

“I miss you,” she said. “Every day, I miss you. And I wonder what you would have made of all this. Made of me. I think—I think you would have been a wonderful king. I think they would have liked you more than me, actually.” Her throat tightened. “I never told you—how I felt. But I loved you, and I think a part of me might always love you. Maybe you were my mate, and I never knew it. Maybe I’ll spend the rest of my life wondering about that. Maybe I’ll see you again in the Afterworld, and then I’ll know for sure. But until then … until then I’ll miss you, and I’ll wish you were here.”

if this isn't the most painful eulogy and confession I've ever read.

Okay remember when Alex said-

“I saw this young, queer guy who looked like me, sleeping at his desk because he wants kids at public schools in his state to have free lunches, and I was like, I could do this. I honestly don’t know if I’m good enough or smart enough to ever be either of my parents. But I could be that.”

“And now I’m sitting here thinking, that son of a bitch sold out, so maybe it’s all bullshit, and maybe I really am just a naive kid who believes in magical shit that doesn’t happen in real life.”

AND HOW THIS JUST PROVES HOW GOOD HE ACTUALLY IS-
