I’m curious.
Anyone who keeps the ability to see beauty never grows old.

“Disgraceful,” said Mrs Bridgestock. “I know your face. You are that Persian boy. Are you not ashamed to be running around corrupting nice young people? I suppose you are only following your father’s example, but considering what happened to him, you should really know better.”
Cordelia wished to rush to her brother’s defense, but she did not dare move.
Alastair bared his teeth at Mrs Bridgestock. “I should, shouldn’t I?” Cassandra Clare, The Last Hours snippet.

hookup culture is actually wild to me because I have to literally be in love to even hold someone's hand.
WHO DID THIS??? Seriously this fandom has zero chill. You go to check how many brothers Lucien has and discover his new power.
Ok so I’ve gotten a couple asks/ messages about why I still hate Rhys and I mean there are so many reasons...most of which are the same as before ACOSF since his character didn’t change but is just now also someone who hides life altering pregnancy news from a pregnant woman???
But even beyond all of that- a big reason why I’m still an anti is that scene where he warns Nesta to be nice to Gwyn and Cassian calls out a MASSIVE truth- that Rhysand refuses to believe even one decent thing about Nesta. Which is unfair to Nesta, but also made me realize how much more difficult all of this is made for Cassian, and how unfair Rhys’ attitude is to Cassian who never ONCE questioned Feyre.
Why would he have questioned Feyre you ask? Idk how about the fact that when she first came to the Night Court Feyre:
Hated Rhysand
Was only there for a bargain
Was literally about to marry another High Lord
Refused the job that Rhysand offered her in the night court
Didn’t want to stay in the night court
Asks to be taken back to the spring court
And still everyone in the IC is obviously so nice to her because-among other things- she’s Rhysand’s mate and they trust him even if there’s a chance she is a literal actual spy or traitor.
Please now compare that to the scene where Cassian literally tells Rhys to fuck off because he REFUSES TO BELIEVE EVEN ONE DECENT THING ABOUT NESTA.
A woman who:
Has no loyalties outside of the Night Court
Risked her position in the mortal world for the Night Court
Was turned into a Fae for the night court
Trained to repair the wall for the night court
Fought in the war for the night court
SAVED CASSIAN (Rhys’ so called “brother”)’S LIFE
KILLED THE KING OF HYBERN
Still went to the post war strategy meetings
At this point in the book had also already agreed to scry for the Dread Trove even though it’s traumatic as fuck for her FOR THE NIGHT COURT
AND THIS BITCH ASS RICE CAKE CANNOT THINK ONE SINGLE DECENT THING ABOUT HER.
No one even said trust. No one said like.
LITERALLY GIVE HER THE BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT ONE TIME YOU SELF RIGHTEOUS P R I C K
I will NEVER forgive Rhysand for this, tbh. He only forgave Nesta for her great crimes of *checks notes* not hunting at 15 and then being traumatized after a war... when she saved him, Feyre, and Nyx. Someone who has done as much as Nesta has and suffered as much as she has, despite other failings, should not have to STOP TIME AND SPACE AND SAVE THREE LIVES IN ORDER TO GAIN THE FORGIVENESS OF ONE STUPID STAR BLINKING PRICK.
As an addendum I’ll say- I get that Nesta isn’t perfect. She was mean and has addiction issues that needed to be addressed but you know what those things are super common for? VETERAN PTSD. This world CANNOT go on and on about mental health while literally refusing to allow a main male protagonist to forgive a war veteran unless they save everyone just because they “aren’t nice”
“What if Cordelia has changed her mind, and says she will not have a minx like you?”
“She would never!” Lucie was outraged.
“No,” Will agreed. “She would not. As far as I am concerned, you shall perform the ceremony as soon as you please. All I want is for you and Cordelia to live a long and happy life, and never be parted.”
Ok so I planned out my study sessions wisely in the last minute now I been to battle the hardest barrier which is discipline.
Sat- 2 hours of work then 30 min break repeat 4 times. All bio
Sun- same process but split between bio and programming
Mon- 4 hours then 1 hour break to review the contents of test one of programming. Repeat 2 times
Tuesday- review everything both bio and programming
