Happiness Will Come To You.

When You Least Expect It. Probably Late March

reblog for happiness to come for you in late march!

I reblogged this last year and I hung out with blink-182 backstage on March 30. Reblogging again because it worked the first time.

honestly, last year one of the best days of my life happened in late March

Every couple months I just randomly get livid about ACOTAR again, post a million tumblr posts about it, and then disappear back into the abyss

"You can't judge and deem people good or bad based on what fictional character they stan"

Babes, but if that stanning includes justifying sexual fcking assualt then yeah imma judge the fck outta you. I literally cud not give two fcks you are a horrible person stay away from my page.

Literally the amount of love for the anti-sjm fandom I have?? Unparalleled. I would sell my soul for all of y’all.

defending alina starkov on tumblr isn't enough i need a gun

why do people hate on her so much to this dayyyyy

what has she done!! “no personality” isn't a valid answer

just saw a post talking about how hard it is to believe leigh and holly [black] are friends because alina is completely bland while jude is “a queen” and all this bullshit

*nothing* against jude, but bro!!! so you think female characters need to be good with a sword and ruthless and """badass"""" and shit to be likeable. they can't, like, want a peaceful life with someone they love, what an absurd that would be. what a bland decision. where's the blood, where's the action!! not to be lana del rey but c'mon

alina spent three books making it clear she didn't want more blood nor war, she didn't want to be a queen nor a saint nor a general, and what's wrong with that!! that doesn't make her boring!! go read the books again without thinking about the darkling and the darkling only and obsessing over what you would've done in her place and try again

YEAH

if you had been kidnapped from your lifelong companion by a war general who started to come on to you and make you feel special only to learn that he was CENTURIES older than you and trying to use you, and then a civil war broke out because said centuries old man wanted to take over the world and you wouldn’t let him abuse you for that, you might want a boring retirement too

Thank you!!!

So turns out this is an actual post by a stan

Girl, how are you so horrible at identifying bad writing?

Like you came so close but then??? Why would you want to read the same thing over and over again? Yk this just shows sjm's lack of creativity right?

I almost thought it was an anti post

describe acotar characters in three words or less go

feyre: gaslight warcrime girlboss

rhysand: its on sight

cassian: men to avoid

azriel: bat joe goldberg

mor: gays deserve better

tamlin: narrative punching bag

amren: ok boomer

lucien: only valid character

nesta: deserved much better

elain: the forgotten hemsworth

tarquin: sweet summer child

helion: literal bi disaster

amarantha: only vilified assaulter

emerie: token asian stereotype

gwyn: she can stay

this was so fun i wanna do more lol

Question: if the characters in ACOTAR we're allergic to at least one thing, what would they be allergic to???

Please put name of character, and the allergy. Thank you. Just curious.

The entire fucking inner circle: common sense and boundaries

'Antis have nothing better to do. Imagine being that mad about something fictional'

Girl, being an anti is fun. Roasting problematic (and poorly written) books are like watching bad movies. I enjoy complaining about it.

Also, when I am mad, it's probably because of something like racism, homophobia, sexism, sexualization of minors (just stating past examples)

Also I'm pretty sure we do other things too. For some people going through the anti tag is like idk watching a daily sitcom (that was a bad example). My point is, we do other things too.

I don't understand the concept of hating "like spamming" or "reblog spamming". As someone with ADHD and hyperfocus, if you go onto my blog and get lost in the sauce enough to practically reblog the last 5 days worth of stuff I reblogged then good on you my dude my friend my bean, please keep it up I'm glad you like it have a cookie fam, you deserve it cause we have the same taste and I feel like my blog is a public library of stuff I find entertaining so enjoy the browse.

shadow and bone is nominated for sci-fi/fantasy show of the year by peoples choice!! go vote!!!

reblog please ❤️

If you were actually "just being lazy", then it wouldn't bother you this much that you're not doing what you're supposed to do. Being lazy is comfortable. Struggling to get something done is very different from not caring to do it.

a lot of stans invalidate legitimate criticisms of antis because we're writers, and this somehow means we're only critiquing janet's work bc we're 'jealous'. umm...

no. while it is certainly impressive that a writer who barely knows her own story and continues to blatantly publish harmful messages has such an enormous influence and audience, while many other genuinely quality writers don't get the recognition they deserve, the reason many antis are also writers is because we KNOW the craft. we know what makes a good story, we know how good stories are constructed and how characters should properly be developed.

dismissing antis as 'jealous writers' is like dismissing the opinion of a professional chef critiquing an amateur dish. or a vocal coach's opinion on someone's singing technique. we know what we're talking about, which is why we highlight the flaws in her writing because we can see them more clearly.

if you're a writer and love her work, that's great! everyone has their favourite stories and i'm not shitting on that. and everyone has their own opinions. but don't dismiss an anti's argument by pointing out they're a writer because you sound dumb. storytelling is an art, there's skill involved and techniques that need to be learned.

shitting out toxic books every year or so is not the same as spending years lovingly crafting a world you know inside out. it's an art form that requires practice and self awareness, and those of us who work in this field have every right to point out when we see this care not being taken in books that have such a large platform.
