rhysand and feyre are that woke couple that speaks over people affected by certain issues because they are so woke and understand issues better than those effected by them
rhysand and feyre would host a conference to discuss the rights of vulnerable women and then spend all the time talking about the killer sex they had last night
absolutely like when feyre destroyed a whole court's system just because she is mad at tamlin, destabilizing the lives of many people for revenge and then acting like she's a great person.
@@neonoires i know this comes too late...but, THANK YOU for saying loudly. That's one reason why i don't like feyre. There's not real consequences for her.
Reading all of these comments make me feel weird because I have a crush on this guy at school named Rhys and I’m worried that he’s secretly been taking fairy bjs during a war, being a massive feminist, saving victims if sexual abuse, and more behind all of our backs. h e l p
Santa: "so what do you want for Christmas?" Me thinking about that one scene where Rhysand climaxed to the image of his unborn child: "the sweet release of death, please -"
Watch Helluva Boss, when a kid says "It was literally Hell having to pretend to be paralized so you fuckshits wouldn't kill me, but now I want that! I want death~~"
If I didn't know any better, it's like the author was dating this dude and she based Tamlin on him while writing the first book. Then they broke up so she decided to destroy the character with everything she had.
So this lady weaved a plain black tapestry with a silver thread in it and found a deep story to tell the rich people to trick them into buying it? Get your coin, lady. Finesse those woke rich people.
@@withcindy Well, I guess the books sell quite a lot. For real, Fifity shades of grey has a bloody fanbase. Of Women and feminists. And emo teenagers. That's why there are movies made and that of the whole trilogy. Doesn't confuse me anymore.
@@withcindy cindy I had paused the video before commenting and now I'm at the part where the reading rainbow is playing and i just have to ask: is nothing sacred? must u sully the childhood innocence that I associate with reading rainbow of THE PBS Kids??
There’s not. Actual fae would celebrate the winter solstice by like, dancing and shit, but from what I’ve seen SJM doesn’t give a flying fuck (or maybe she does lmao) about what the Fae actually are. Her interpretation of fae is even worse than Stephanie Meyers interpretation of vampires and that’s saying something.
@@a1exneedsahamdleplease as much as I agree with you, there is no "wrong way" of interpreting myth. they're just different and you don't like them, and that's that.
“They’ve got two hands” is a mildly inappropriate thing to say about people who just served in active combat. Like...no, some of them probably don’t have two hands...
She ruined Lucien. He had so much potential and she ruined him. But I’m glad he was like peace out and never stayed with Feyre and the cringe ass Inner Circle. He was like bitch i hate it here byee
And when feyre scoffs at Lucien’s found family name «band of exiles » when she’s a part of a group that un ironically calls itself « the court of dreams »
@@a_little_disquised1101 ikr! He finally found a family/place where he finally belonged JUST LIKE WHAT FEYRE DID WITH THE INNER CIRCLE and then she made fun of him??? And what's worse is that she knew everything he'd been through with his abusive family but she STILL made fun of him
Rightt? I was so confused when Feyre made fun of his new friends circle name and was like this is his middle life crisis, he is with them just because he can't find his place etc, when dude just found a healthier environment for him like what is so wrong with that lmao? Lucien is the only sane character that I can personally relate to.
I’m not a Tamlin stan or anything but I agree with Cindy on this... Tamlin is clearly broken and ruined and honestly that speech Rhys gives him was a low blow... But he did cook him dinner later on so lol
16:53) Because the author decided to turn Tamlin into a bastard in order to make Rhysand more appealing. It's a classic yet very stupid trope some authors do. If SJM wanted Rhysand and Feyre together, she could've just had Tamlin and Feyre break up amicably. Mutual breakups happen. People fall out of love. It happens.
@@daniloabaigar5648 yeah, but even the didn’t their breakup have something to do with him having some responsibility in her friends murder? I just feel like SJM doesn’t know how love works, like people can separate without someone doing something awful. Maybe she shot herself in the foot by describing the love between the characters as “unbreakable” or whatever. Just feel like it’s a bad message for teens, teaches people to constantly point the finger at other people when something bad happens.
Seriously, the whole premise of Tamlin and Feyre's relationship was based on trying to break a curse. I wouldn't be surprised if after it all was over they realised that, whilst they like each other, it's not in THAT way. It's actually more believable than what happens in the books. I'd love it if they had simply just realised they didn't work as a couple and parted amicably.
Omg what if the weaver's husband didn't even die. It's just a ploy she uses to get people to feel bad for her so they'll buy the many "Void" tapestries she made
Imagine having so much emotional trauma from the first three books in the series, that when someone even mentions the fourth one, you have a mental breakdown. ......honestly............that was me
Readers: Hey, Sarah, could you maybe work on writing male characters who aren't misogynists? Sarah in the ACOTAR series: And then the men realized...that women also have hands
My question is how did Rhysand's mother know her dress size? Do fairy's parents know their fated mates dress sizes? Or do they magically adjust to the body of the wearer? Am I thinking about this too hard????
He was a little boy and momma here was like: Look son, chose a mate that fits into these, cause I ain't making them again. So at the end Rhysand subcontiusly choose someone who was the size his momma wanted. It's not that his mother knew...he CHOSE based on size. There, mystery solved 🧐😏
"There are some scars that can't heal... like her hymen." For a moment I thought you were going to say something sentimental and then you just-- I can't Cindy 😂
I was always so confused when I first read ACOTAR because everyone hated Tamlin. I kind of spoiled myself with the fact that he locked Feyre up in the mansion and after reading ACOTAR, I get it. He literally saw the love of his life tortured right in front of him! He shouldn’t get all this hate. Rhysand pointed out in the second book that he didn’t like how Tamlin found Feyre under the mountain only to bang her against the wall when you guys literally give oral during the middle of a war??
Thank you!!! Finally someone logically and objectively thinking it out rather tham jumpimg on the hate train. I literally got DRAGGED and REPORTED on a SJM fan account for literally saying the same thing because apparently I was "sympathizing" and not holding an abuser "accountable"??? Like?.....
I'm feeling like even J Mass is confused about Mor's sexuality? Beacause there are six pages about how Mor don't want to be with men, that's why she didn't wanted to marry a Iris and why she slept with Cassian and also loved this one women who left her, then slept with other men to make Azrael think they will never be together??? As a lesbian I felt like Mass wanted to make Mor a lesbian, but she can't understand idea how someone can don't like sex with men...
@@wonderworld3509 Bisexual can have preference to some gender, but they're still bi, they can want to be with men or women if they find the right one. Mor told Feyra she can't love romanticly and be with males, not just don't want do it. Also she looked kinda bad after night with one male fae and felt bad about it. Sexuality is fluid, yeah, it can look messy, but in my opinion Mass just don't understand it and she made poor reaserch, beacause this is first book where she included good not straight characters (first one was bad lesbian witch who abused her daughter and killed childrens :') ) and she wasn't, too subtle about it.
My thoughts exactly! I'm bi and the whole "I may have sex with men to throw off suspicion but I can never love them!" stick, along with how its noted sex with men makes her sick rubs me the wrong way. Let's admit it, Maas tried and failed at writing a lesbian because she just cannot fathom the idea of women not liking dick.
Exactly!! Instead of saying “I can’t be with Asriel because I’m not attracted to him” she’s like “I can’t be with Asriel because I’m bisexual” and I’m like... but? Like you said, she wrote it as if Mor was a lesbian but Mor admitted to liking sex with men, does she not understand what a LESBIAN is?
I never understand why people hold this series up as some beacon of feminism. All Feyre's new friends are simply her boyfriend's friends, she's financially and emotionally dependent on him and he gaslights her with that "your choice" bollocks despite the fact he knows girl has absolutely no life or resources outside of his sphere and is never going to go against him. Just because her first relationship was more overtly abusive it doesn't mean this one is healthy. Not too mention Captain Feminism is less a feminist and more a nepotist. We never see any evidence of him empowering women in general, just putting his connections in positions of power.
What really got me on my latest rewatch is how self-congratulatory they are about being the first people to _ever_ question gender roles in their society. Like bro, do you really think that no one has ever noticed the problem before? Not even the women???
ACOSF spoiler ahead for the purpose of shitting on Rhysie: I was SCREAMING while reading ACOSF when he neglected to tell Feyre giving birth was about to kill her??? Like Nesta was the bitch for telling Feyre vital medical information about her pregnancy and possibly about her impending death? And the others went along with it as well? It's your choice my ass.
@@zk5228 "my 20 year old mate is so much smarter and better than any other faerie woman has ever been 🥰🥰🥰" like bet rhysand, feyre is absolutely the first woman to ever say she wants to be treated better
*snowball fight* Me: awww that’s so swee- Cindy: no! wtf is this BS, I wanna see sex! *galaxy sex and final climax happens* Cindy: idk about that one chief Me: no. these are the consequences of you actions
I agreed so much with Tamlin when he just responded to Rhysand's vile comment with "get out." Tam's clearly not a villain. He is a fallen and lost hero who needs help...just like the other characters. Rhys was allowed to slip up but not Tamlin? I think they could have done so much more with this character. The author made a misstep here. There was so much hypocrisy in this book that it feels like the author lost the pulse on what each of the characters' motivations were and also the spirit of the holidays that she is meant to portray in general. Also Lucien, who is genuinely a good faerie. Man, give these spring court guys a break.
i havent even read book 2 and 3 because ACOTAR was so painful to push through, but I'm shocked at what SJM has done to Tamlin. He actually was a bearable love interest, which is rare to find these days. Also is everyone forgetting when like Rhysand had Feyre grinding on him when she was under that potion thingy---😀
THE SIRENS KILLED ME. I do not know how a grown woman wrote "your mother was 18 to your father's 900" and did not immediately smash backspace and see a therapist.
tamlin = abusive, bad furry boy rhysand = woke king - wifi router of wokeness invented feminism, kink=feminism reincarnation of florence nightingale and saint teresa both
as someone who has never read the series, and is now learning about rhysand's questionable sexual behaviors, i am very VERY concerned as to why everyone is in love with this series. are they okay??? is sarah j mass okay?? are YOU okay????
The part where Feyre is talking to the weaver is so funny to me because her husband died in battle where he was fighting alongside the summer court, and in the scene where Feyre was getting spicy in battle with Rhysand the book specifically pointed out how she could hear the screams of people on the battle field from the summer court dying. Coincidence? I think not.
Every single time Feyre paints I just think... what if she's terrible at art. Okay, just imagine her drawing something and everyone just nods and is like, "Oh yeah, so beautiful." But in their heads: "Is that a horse?" WHAT IF.
@Death Omen When you're trying to pull an H.P.Lovecraft's mysterious and abstract description,to explain something, but not explain it at the same time, but your writing skills are highly limited. That's Feyre's painting.
@@katkay9923 feyre didn’t sleep around drink alcohol cut everyone and everything out and be a toxic person… she had to be kicked out to wake the hell up because nothing else was working. When someone is that self destructive there’s only so much you can do.
@@kianadoescod6402 didn’t the Bat Boyz sleep around as well? Why when Nesta does it, it’s bad? Also, aren’t Feyre and Rhys rich af? What can a couple of alcohol tabs do to them when they have 5 houses?
I have this headcanon that when he can't sleep bc of PTSD (cuz, yknow, he fought in 2 gigantic wars) he just goes to a secret room and starts to hum and make more dresses for Feyre
I feel that Tamlin is based off of the authors past boyfriend or something and she is trying to trash him because maybe he was trash, you know? I think Tam did not deserve it and I think they could of approach it differently but whatever.
but he smashed everything around feyre twice (second time after he said hed change) and scared her and actually hurt her the second time because the stuff he exploded around her hit her he also locked her in a jail and shouted at her to stay home he started talking about how she orgasms in front of the whole table of people when they were having serious talks about war and when amarantha was gonna kill feyre he begged amarantha not to and tried to have sex with feyre one last time instead of trying to save her even if hed die doing it. i personally do not like him at all
@@errorpleasetryagain1018 Understandable, I have only read the first book and have no interest in the rest so maybe my opinion is a little off. I will say tho' I agree with you on the trying to have sex instead of saving her thing. I was so pissed during that part of the book.
@@errorpleasetryagain1018 And under the mountain Rhysand makes Feyre go in skimpy clothes and sit on his lap and dance for him infront of everyone... and then drink wine that makes her black out .. When at the time she loved Tamlin and didn’t want to do any of that.
@@neenah7376 you should honestly read the rest of the books i really enjoyed them! but id say to not even bother with silver flames and the one before it they were very underwhelming. rhys and feyre actually ended up being my favourite couple and acotar one of my favourite book series. the first book sucked though so i cant blame you for not wanting to continue
@@ShannenKerrie yeah that really made me hate him i honestly just pretend that part never happened. and the explanation was terrible too super underwhelming and not justified. i just pretend it was sara j mass’ mistake and its not what rhys really wouldve done🤣🤣🤣i love him too much to believe he did that i just block it from my mind
With the amount of shitty books being published nowadays, like this series or another master pieces like Fifty Shades of Grey, I think it's quite hard to write something even shittier. :D
My book is getting published this summer and I'm really sad at the prospect that I'll probably never make as much as the garbage that is some YA books.
@Speckled Legs It's Onision (at least I think you mean that person?) but I think calling him Onion is pretty accurate too, layers of nothing sensible page after page. :D
@@ellie7646 If your book is good, you probably won't. :( It seems that if you want to make good money, you have to write like a 13 year old girl (you just sit and write what comes to your mind or write some fanfic and publish it as a first draft (do not make any changes to make it better - that seems to be contradictory to the goal of making a lot of money!). I wrote one book as a young teen (ages 12-14, so 2 years took to make the first draft) and I wrote in that way - what came to my mind without having some plot in mind/where the story is going - but it was fun to explore without knowing - I really had fun with it and spent many hours writing. But you know what, I somehow managed to wrap it up and actually (for what it was) it kinda became a real sound story at the end. It follows a story of a young wizard whose parents are murdered - and later he founds out that the wizard who arranged all the teachers and everything for him to learn magic, actually also arranged the murder of his parents (it's kinda easier to get someone to depend on you when you murder their parents, right). When he finds out (not very happy about it :D), the wizard takes his sister (non-magic person) hostage in order to make the main character to obey. The main ch. manages to rescue his sister and kills the big bad wizard in the process. And in the end, there was even a set up for a second book. Of course, if I ever wanted to publish it (I'm not planning that), it would have to be completely rewritten and edited heavily but I still think it's way better than f.e. Fifty Shades of Grey, even as a first draft. :D Also, it's not in English but rather a minor language, so it would be even harder to get published and get successful. What's your book about? And congrats that you get to be published. :)
It's so nice to hear someone else say what I had been thinking about Tamlin since ACOMAF first came out! I never understood why his clear signs of PTSD were either ignored or casted as him actually being this terrible person the entire time or how Feyre's own PTSD was seen as more important than anyone else's. Don't even get me started on the hypocrisy of the characters we are meant to actually root for.
right?? like if we're supposed to sympathize for the main character dealing with PTSD, i dont understand why we're supposed to villainize another one for the same reason
That book is probably about... 50,000 words or so, ergo it's a normal novel. 50k words is a minimum for fiction. *This bitch made a companion novel out of an epilogue!* 🤣
Throne of Glass's main character is just an edgy, overpowered naruto fanfiction self insert and she's not like other girls. That's it that's the whole series
Me: doesnt read this particular genre, doesnt watch booktube except cindy Sees thumbnail: THIS IS THE EVENT OF A LIFETIME IVE BEEN WAITING FOR WITH BATED BREATH
Wait, you're telling me that there was a whole other book in this series... and SJM didn't have a single character come out as black? Preposterous! How else will we solve racism??
Lucien already came out as black xddd Well, not him exactly... But, u know, although his skin is not black, right? I get really confused with his description because i though he was white and redhead and suddenly he was black or kinda idk
@@desiii846 Yeah it's really confusiiing all the fanart draws him as a white ginger but then you read the descriptions and he's definitely racially ambiguous like most characters because Maas' rly do be like that D:
I heard about Rhysand climaxing to the image of their future child. I hoped it was a misread or exaggeration. Apparently not. You've suffered enough, Cindy. I read the trilogy and I'm done. You're an intrepid, brave soul.
@@anacpereira5 Cindy talks about the scene toward the end of the video. I think SJM probably intended it to be romantic, Feyre sending Rhys the image of their future child during sex. I imagine the intent was meant to show that Rhys was so moved by the idea of them having a child together, he had an orgasm. Not because he was titilated by the image itself. But it's just weird and ill conceived. (Pun intended.)
wait wait wait rhys mother was EIGHTEEN didn't they say in an earlier book that Faerie's don't reach maturity until 80????? That's why Tarquin is barely an adult??? THIS WOMAN WAS A LITERAL CHIIILD????????? ?
That's hella narcissistic of her to give him a massive picture of HERSELF, especially after all of her thoughts of "boo hoo what about everyone else? Boo I'm so sad"
not surprising when the world literally revolves around feyre. Men go to war for her. Everyone wants to do her. The feckin Suriel willingly sacrificed itself just to tell her to "run." because she's just that important. And now Rhys has an original piece: "Feyre" - by Feyre. He could probably just send her mental images of it while they're banging and it'll send her over the edge.
Not to mention, Rhys came and rescued Feyre from her PTSD.....everyone just kinda left Tam to deal with his trama in the worst way possible. I stopped reading before writer could ruin Tam's character for me. He was a good guy in the first book. He, a high lord, bowed, forehead on the ground, to save this bi**h's life from RHYS WHO WAS ABOUT TO MURDER HER. I've never been so disappointed in character undevelopment.
I haven't even read the series, but I still occasionally headcanon ways to help Tamlin, a character I barely know because I just feel so bad for how he was treated throughout the books (both as an individual and a character whose journey and development was under the author's full control).
Literally, I had to stop reading because I liked first book Tamlin. Weirdly enough, of all the characters he's actually the one that felt most like a Faerie to me. Like sure, if you want to break him and Feyre up, go for it- their relationship is based on breaking a curse, I wouldn't be surprised if after it all they realised they didn't actually like each other that way. There's ways to do it. Why not just have it be that he comes away from the relationship a better person, sometimes acts as their ally against the big bad (some interesting awkward tension could be created by their previous relationship) and then eventually finds his own real love?
The fae species are different from humans, we do not refer to a female dog as a woman however we refer to a female human as a woman similar how we referred to a female horse as a mare, but we do not refer to a Female human as a mare. Does that makes sense?
@@victoriagodson6873 so is Feyre fucking monsters? Like I know faeries aren't like humans, but I didn't think feyre would be a monster fucker lmao. I didn't think we'd go there 💀💀💀
