Cassian: From now on we’ll be using code names. You can address me as eagle one.
Cassian: Mor, code name ‘been there, done that’ Nes is ‘currently doing that’ Feyre is ‘It happened once in a dream’ Rhys, code name ‘if I had to pick a dude’ Amren is ‘Eagle two’
Amren: oh thank god
Cassian: Az is ‘I’d be lying if I said I thought thought about it’
IC: *NODS HEADS*
Azriel: Allow me to introduce myself.
Azriel: My name is Azriel.
Azriel: So if any of you have anything else you’d like to say to my high lady, I will drag you outside and we will handle this Night Court Style.
Cassian: Why'd you head-butt me?!
Mor: I was going to punch you, but I'm holding wine.
*Having a family dinner*
Amren: Can you pass the pepper?
Cassian: What’s the magic word?
Amren: *Clearly not impressed*
Amren: *Starts chanting in the old language*
Cassian: *Panicking and shoving pepper into Amren's hands* JUST TAKE IT! TAKE IT, OH MY GOD!
Tamlin: You’re a horrible person!
Rhysand: Maybe. But I’m rich and I’m pretty, so it doesn’t really matter.
Cassian: I think I just figured something out. I got to go.
Mor: Aren't you forgetting something?
Cassian: Uuh...*hesitantly kisses Mor's forehead before running out.*
Mor: No, pay your bill! Damn, who raised you?
Cassian, staring lovingly at Nesta: I would die for you.
Nesta, reading her books: Then perish.
Feyre: I left instructions for everyone while I'm gone.
Cassian: Mine just says "Cass, no."
Feyre: I want you to apply it to every possible situation
Nesta: I wonder who’s ruining my life.
Nesta: *looks in the mirror* So we meet again.
Morrigan: The only straight I am is a straight-up badass.
Cassian: Can you keep a secret?
Azriel: Do you know anything about my life?
Cassian: No, I don't. Good point.
Feyre: What are you in the mood for?
Rhysand: World domination.
Feyre: That's a bit ambitious.
Rhysand: You are my world.
Feyre: Aww...
[long pause]
Feyre: OH.
Mating Bond: Rant
Soooooo I’ve read enough of Twilight and ACOTAR to have a idea of this imprinting/mating bond/ultimate fate couple idea.
But honestly, the idea is so toxic. Like even Rhysand talks about how some people think they ‘own’ the person they imprint on and how fate or whatever upper power decides can pick mates poorly and basically almost decides based on who will produce the most powerful offspring but that is beside the point.
I know you can reject it but how? If you do figure out this person is wrong for you...how can you turn away? Push past the pull to do what’s right? Look at how toxic Rhysand’s parents’ relationship turned out to be--even Tamlin’s parents and Sam Uley and Emily Young, these relationships were unhealthy, but they could not look past this blinding love or bond or attraction or whatever you want to call it.
Think about it though. You’re going about whatever life and you fall in love with someone. You really love them. With every part of your being. Every freaking molecule. But there is no bond. But who cares right? What matters is that love, that feeling, that connection...right? WRONG. How can you love someone for however many days, weeks, years, centuries, with this looming threat that they may not be ‘The One’?
And what of marriages then? You marry someone, give your life to them, let them know you in every way only to find out fate has other plans? What about that underlying guilt that you guys don’t have ‘that bond’? That your love isn't good enough?
Even if you do look past it, trust that either your relationship is strong enough as it is, or that the bond will ‘snap into place’ eventually, what if you do end up meeting you mate? The one? How do you come to terms with that? Even if you love the person you are with from the bottom of your soul, how can you look past those instinctive feelings?
How many people even find this ‘mate’? I mean look at Rhysand and Feyre, even Jacob and Renessme, can your mate be another species? How does that even work if humans don’t have that bond?
Thanks for coming to my TEDx Talk...
When I was young and Mor came out as sapphic/queer, I sat down and wrote an idea for a fic where Mor falls in love with a badass female Illyrian warrior. I also did my research for Feyre and Rhys’s kid name. It wasn’t as on the nose as fudgin’ Nyx. So one of my theories came true ☺️💚
I'm over this world I need to be in the night court stargazing rn
