Remember How I Said SJM Was To Blame For Me Failing Algebra Bc Of The Acotar Tv Adaption?

I find it so funny that acotar people go "I want to hold Feysand accountable because etc etc/ they shouldn't have etc. etc it's selfish/ they're bad leaders" but y'all they're fictional??? Like yea uh sure go hold fictional people accoutable but like uh what's the point? And hold the author accountable??? Waitttt is sjm gonna rule Velaris someday and suddenly vow to die together with her husband cuz that's gonna be so cool.

Friendly Reminder:

We all loved Maven at some point

im loving the height difference 😂

THANK YOU finally someone reasonable. Do you know how hard it is to find something like this in the whole jkr discussion on tumblr?? Like 1) If you haven't done sufficient research DONT SAY ANYTHING ABOUT IT 2) Even if you did research shitting on people who support/don't support jkr is not right either- RESPECT PEOPLE RESPECT.

You don't agree with JKR's views...do you?

I’m indifferent on the subject, I don’t have strong views on things I have not researched. I’ve had conversations with wonderful people that describe themselves as trans & non binary, and they have been kind enough to share their experiences with me, and so have people that do not agree with gender theory. I don’t have enough information on gender dysphoria or gender theory as a whole to fight for the “war” on any side, really. But I do not enjoy anyones voice being shut or lives being destroyed either for identifying with being transgender or non binary or with challenging gender theory.

Jkr doesn’t seem to me as if she is set to destroy transgender people, but she has voiced her opinions on:

Being fired for practicing your disagreement with gender ideology.

The degrading of woman being raped in jail by men making a cynical use of gender theory to commit rape in female holding jails.

Both of those opinion do not seem aphorant to me at all, but I never bothered to look deeper into them to give them a seal of approval or disapproval.

In conclusion, it really goes as deep as me listening to both sides whom I’ve dug deeply enough to make sure they don’t threat any side & my standing of the almost universal right of free speech, and of course my personal view of respect.

I think first and foremost this fandom needs to remember that everyone has faults. And by everyone, I mean the people within this fandom, the characters in ACOTAR, and SJM herself. I think that we need to remember that despite all the character’s faults, we kept reading. We kept reading because we like the plot, we like the inner circle, we like Feyre, Rhysand, Cassian, Nesta, Azriel, Mor, Emerie, Gwyn… we like the universe that Sarah J Maas has created. (Anf if you’re that group of people that reads for the sake of hating it or only read on because of so and so character, that’s okay too.) At the end of the day, all of us still read on. It doesn’t matter how problematic you think Sarah J Maas, she still deserves our thanks for creating a universe that we love, characters that we relate with, and a community that we get to share in. People come into this fandom because they have something to say about the book, not to argue over who’s right and who’s wrong. It’s fine for a huge fandom to not have a generally agreed on opinion, it’s fine for people to share theories, opinions, love and hate certain characters, find certain actions problematic, that is totally fine and is what the fandom is for. But a fandom is supposed to be a loving and accepting community, and when you see people leaving this fandom, leaving social media, shouldn’t we also self-reflect? When you see such a clear line between pros and antis, so many people blocking each other, so much hate, isn’t time to do something about it?

Everyone has good intentions and I know that. When it's no longer about the ships and the theories, everyone in this fandom is the sweetest person. But it's always about the ships and always about the problems, and there's so much hate isn't it time to just wonder why? I dont think it's any single person's fault. Sarah J Maas is human, she doesn't wake up one day and decide that the abuser that people characterize Rhysand as should get together with the heroine. Or that it's such a beautiful day for her main characters to be neglectful rulers who are so selfish that they had a bargain to die without regard for their people.

I get that authors should be called out for poor representation or some other sorts of "problematic actions" but I think this fandom has overanalyzed the books to a point where everything is problematic and everything is either this or that and if it's not it's Sarah J Maas's fault it's that person you just blocked's problem. And maybe I'm being naive and maybe this is what the freedom of speech and all that crap entails. But other fandoms aren't like this. Other authors have faults too, but they're never overanalyzed to this point. People love certain characters over others too, but they don't have the entire fandom divided because you either like Nesta or you don't.

And I think that just because you can filter out anti tags and "the block button is right there"... is that really any better?

This isn't right. This isn't a community.

And I honestly don't even know what tags to use at this point because it's not gonna reach the target audience regardless because either the anti tags are blocked or the pro tags are blocked and there's fucking wars with actual people dying right now and we're fighting over fictional characters. And I really want to be nice and fair and reason with people and actually DO SOMETHING instead of just talking about it, but I am also so, so mad.

star do you like dem

she drew a little star in the air for “you drew stars around my scars” but being an obsessed fan means i know that’s actually not how she draws her stars

I’m going to need Violet and Sgaeyl’s relationship to get a lot more screen time in the next book.

No one will fight as fiercely for Xaden as his girls will, and those two together would be a forced to be reckoned with.
