Reasons why everyone should love Rhysand:
1. He was tortured, beaten and raped for 50 years but he didn’t care - because he knew that Velaris and his family were safe.
2. Even though Feyre had hated him, he had loved her more than anything and he would go to the ends of the Earth just to keep her safe.
3. Whilst being aware that Feyre was his mate, he’d known his mate and Tamlin were going to get married. Even though it killed him, he wasn’t going to interfere because he believed that Feyre deserved that happiness.
4. He was the only one who noticed that Feyre was breaking, not only on the outside but on the inside.
5. To keep Feyre from breaking and reaching that unending darkness, he flirted with her, jokingly taunted her, tried to make her feel something other than pure nothingness.
6. Even though Feyre is Rhys’ mate, he believes that Feyre is her own person, therefore, she makes her own decisions - even if he somewhat disagrees.
7. Even after all that he has done, he still believes he is unworthy of people (especially Feyre). But Feyre will always be there to reassure of him of the opposite.
8. The first time Feyre said “I love you” to Rhys, he cried, because he never thought he’d ever hear those words from his mate.
9. When resealing the cauldron, he knew that he was going to die, but he didn’t want Feyre to know, because she would’ve let the cauldron swallow the world wholly rather than live in a world without her mate.
10. Before Rhys died, his last words to Feyre were “I love you” (page 666 😭)
11. Last but not least, that Impressive Wingspan (do I really need explain? 😂)
