Ayyo how are we all forgetting the women's rights movement of 2021 when our feminist icon rhysand chose not to tell his very pregnant wife that the birth would 100% kill her🤨🤨
He pretty much went around battling misogyny with his mountain shaking roars y'all could never-
The Darkling- *diabolical plan for world domination* *tortures Genya* *burns down Alina's only home* *kills all her friends* *tries to make her his puppet* *tries to kill Mal* *your power is mine* *kills Ana Kuya*
Alina-😐🙄😤😭🖕
The Darkling- why, oh why do you not love meeee!?!?
Darklina as Taylor swift songs ~
"And it took you five whole minutes, to pack us up and leave me with it."
"You were my crown, Now I'm in exile seein' you out."
"Second, third, and hundredth chances, balancin' on breaking branches. Those eyes add insult to injury."
"You're not my homeland anymore, so what am I defendin' now?".
"All this time, we always walked a very thin line."
"My eclipsed sun."
"My twisted knife, my sleepless night, my win-less fight."
"Your faithless love's the only hoax I believe in."
"You knew you won, so what's the point of keeping score?"
"My kingdom come undone, you have beaten my heart."
"Weepin' in a sunlit room, and if I'm on fire, you'll be made of ashes too."
"Did I deserve, babe? All the hell you gave me? 'Cause I loved you, I swear I loved you, till my dying day."
"You had to kill me but it killed you just the same."
"I didn't have it in myself to go with grace, 'cause when I'd fight, you used to tell me I was brave."
"And if I'm dead to you, why are you at the wake?"
"And you can aim for me heart, go for blood, But you would still miss me in your bones."
"And if you wanted me, you really should've showed."
"But we were something, don't you think so?"
"And if my wishes came true, it would've been you."
"You know the greatest loves of all time are over now?"
"If one thing had been different, would everything be different?"
"You and I walk a fragile line, I have known it all this time. But I never thought I'd live to see it break."
"He will try too take away my pain, and he just might make me smile. But the whole time I'm wishing he was you instead."
"But I still mean every word I said to you."
"I thought I had you figured out. Can't turn back now, I'm haunted."
All the grishaverse, riordanverse, shadowhunter chronicles, throne of glass and marvel characters do be kinda fruity to me- anyways happy bisexual visibility day<33
I don't like that falling feels like flying till the bone crush.

If I had a penny for every time a complex female character stabbed her own hand just to prove a point, I'd have two pennies which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice.
"You’re mad,” I said. “You know what he can do. No prize is worth that.”
Sturmhond grinned. “That remains to be seen.”
“The Darkling will hunt you for the rest of your days.”
“Then you and I will have something in common, won’t we? Besides, I like to have powerful enemies. Makes me feel important.”
Mal crossed his arms and considered the privateer. “I can’t decide if you’re crazy or stupid.”
“I have so many good qualities,” Sturmhond said. “It can be hard to choose.”

Had she really thought the world didn’t change? She was a fool. The world was made of miracles, unexpected earthquakes, storms that came from nowhere and might reshape a continent. The boy beside her. The future before her. Anything was possible.

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.
