@@qold5900 As a plot device, not an expression of SJM's sexuality.
There's really no excuse for this lack of representation. Queer relationships, at the core of them, are the exact same as hetero relationships. The love, the care the way they behave as a couple, even the lust. It's just their gender identity that are different. In fantasy you can even have an advantage by changing the society so these relationships are accepted, so that way even if the author isn't queer they can still write the relationships without the baggage and hardships of the reality of our society attached.

I rolled my eyes at that one line (in the novella I think?) where she was all, “The painting was a pretty lie~” and there was no elaboration or anything. It’s like she’s just tying up pretty sounding words together and trying to make it sound as elegant as she can… and failing 💀

The fact that Mor would rather string along a guy who's head over heels in love with her for over 500 years rather than just tell him shes not interested is truly wild. She doesn't have to admit shes gay, she can just say it's not gonna happen smh
Goddam that's depressing
I was astounded and angry
I mean, if it's been 500 years, she's only ever treated him as a friend, and she's sleeping with all these other guys but very noticeably not him then it's kinda on him to take the hint at this point lmao. Plenty of people know their crushes don't reciprocate without their crushes straight up telling them so.
Actually admitting that she was into girls would be _better_ because then she could at least have plausible deniability and say that it was a recent thing she discovered about herself

Oh, it isn't just her...
She believes she met the quota she lacked in Throne of glass, where everybody is hetero and with a couple
tbh the book could’ve been saved if rhysand and tamlin just banged it out bc the enemies to lovers energy is kinda strong with this one ngl
Tam x Rhys sounds a lot more interesting cause both have a lot of tension and hatred between each other.
everything could have been fixed if they both went down sloppy styles but alas sarah doesn't want us to be happy
Tamlin: locks Feyre into his house
Fandom: fuck you
Rhys: makes Feyre his bitch, dresses her intu rugs,makes her drunk in front of every high fae
Fandom: oh how lovely
You forgot to add that he literally got her killed (she was later brought back but point still stands) by not revealing to her a very important piece of information, despite his claims about Feyre having the right to make her own choices as the free woman she supposedly is.
okay but… have you read Chapter 54? 🥹❤️
@@Neha-xl4nf doesn't excuse Rhy's actions 🤷♀️
not only that he locked her in because he literally watched her die like 😭i feel like sarah did him so dirty by making him just turn into a lowkey asshole
@@treceslez Not to mention how he sends her into the witch's house with LITERALLY no backup to 'prove herself' - this wasn't teaching her self defense, it was LITERALLY testing whether she was good enough for him! And it's scary to think that if Feyre had 'failed' he would have just let her die. Because there's no scene later where he tells her 'I was keeping an eye out and would have come to help if you had needed me.' Polar opposite from Cardan in The Cruel Prince, when he tells Jude he would never have let the nixies get to her in the river scene earlier (which astute readers had already figured out.) It gets me because I write these kinds of situations all the time; only my heroines are tough stubborn girls who are constantly trying to prove themselves and show 0 vulnerability because they've been hurt in the past. So they keep getting sent on dangerous missions because my hero knows she'll get the job done and not complain and he trusts her even though she doesn't trust ANYONE. Then she gets herself hurt and the hero feels guilty he didn't help more and there's a conversation where he tells her he won't think any less of her if she needs help and she can trust him to have her back, which builds their relationship, voila. Cheesy, I guess, but I think it's important not to prioritize being 'able to take care of yourself' over 'having each others' backs.'

"We don't even remember what Tampons name is anymore."
I LOST IT.
When reading the original book I had trouble differentiating between Lucian and Tamlin. Never understood why she fell for Tampon. He was always a tad bit of a douche. "You are free to do whatever you want - except leave the mansion."
I never understood why people held this series up as a great example of a woman getting out of an abusive relationship when she just jumps into an unheathily codependent relationship with another guy. Her whole new life was just an extension of his. She didn't have her own friends or her own thing going on, she just became an extension of him. None of this is a good portrayal of a healthy relationship or character development.
I could not have said this better. You are completely and utterly right.

"i prefer females" said NO LESBIAN EVER

But Mor likes both males and females right? She isn't a lesbian. She didn't say "women" because in the book universe, "male" and "female" is how they refer to faeries, with "man" and "woman" used for humans...

BoredomIsAnUnderstatement Actually I have seen them, and to be fair, why did she continue reading this series after book 1 if she thinks they are so terrible? It really makes no sense to me. I do understand some of her points but to me it comes off condescending towards the author, not constructive criticism.
@@charlotteharwood1271 Honestly, I get why she kept reading. It's the same reason why I read horrible fanfics that I know I'm going to despise: masochistic curiosity. The desire to see exactly how bad it can get.

As a lesbian, I always give a monologue worth 6 pages of text every time I come out to someone
You came out to this TH-cam comment section and your nonologue was only worth 1 sentence, so I feel lied to.
So, is it one line the rest empty pages? Or copy and paste "I'm a lesbian." in repeat for the word count, and easier time to fill one mla line with an autobiography from you?
Because either way, it's possibly short or better than the stuff mention in the book.
I mean her whole relationship with Azriel and Cassian and Andromache was also talked about and Feyre asked questions in between that she answered. The whole: I am bisexual part was about 4 sentences long.

ok but fae in this world kept humans as slaves so it makes sense why nesta and elain don't want to be part of the fae
Well, it's because:
A.) It was forced upon them.
B.) The sisters only knew fae as monstrous, human-eating slavers. So they thought they would become that.
C.) They now have powers they cannot control nor do they understand them.
D.) They have to deal with Ricesand and his groupie so.

@@reve.laurent A whole new world 😂 we have been enlightened 🌟
As a bisexual woman who has come out to her family three different times let me say this: stop writing coming-out scenes as these big dramatic speeches because usually when we come out, it is to people we trust and usually it comes down to one sentence:
"I'm [insert lgbtq+ identity here]. I wanted to let you know because you're my family and I trust you". Them's the deets.
Also the fact that the lesbian coming out scene that was written was somehow only there because of a man is so laughable, I can't.
My closest friend sent me a video that another TH-camr made to help people say they're coming out. Happened 6yrs ago. She (she uses she/them pronouns) had been terrified that I wouldn't want to be friends with her anymore if I knew and my response was to first reassure her that I don't hate her and never would and that it was kinda obvious with how she had been with one specific friend of ours. That friend doesn't know about this to date but yeah 6yrs down the line she's still one of my closest friends and I'll always be there for her.
Gosh, I also came out three-four times, because the first time my mom didn't take it good and thought it was everything about my dad's economic problems (now she denies this happening), second time she didn't get it, third time I literally cried until she heard me, and last one I told her specifically I was both into women and men.
hardest shit ever just to tell my mother "oh yea, girls are also pretty".
Every time I come out it's a quick one line joke that links to something that was said
personally, i refuse to come out at all. I'm just my nonbinary lesbian self and if i feel safe to do so I'm completely open about it, but otherwise i don't feel like mentioning it to my family because for me i only need my own acceptance.
however, everyone is different of course! I'm a very private and antisocial person, so that's why this feels right for me
the way i came out was bc my mom asked me if i liked girls and i said 'maybe!" like why is morrigan doing a soliloquy

And have the "lesbian" offhand mention she does like sleeping with dudes. Because differing romantic and sexual orientations are a thing, but God I don't think that's what the author was going for.
Haven't gotten to that point in my own relaxing writing. I call this a victory! XD
Does that mean that straight authors should not write gay characters? Should they only write about what they know? That’s a very closed minded opinion lmao
Vtmb2 coming 2020 No.... they totally can, just don’t spend 6 consecutive pages on a coming out. And do their research on what it’s actually like to come out. And maybe decide which characters are lgbt before the series starts, which it doesn’t seem like SJM did.

It physically hurts me the way SJM just completely destroyed fairy lore.
It's okay to take creative liberties to make your story more original or whatever, but SJM really took these whimsical, capricious and otherworldly beings that have a completely different set of morals and values (because, you know, they're not human and we can't categorize them as good or evil using our humans values) and turned them into boring humans with boring human problems but with pointy ears and super sensitive wings. Where's the originality in that?!
I Agree and Love ur Comment. 😊
Yes. YESSSS!!!! FUCK YES THIS!!!!!! You cannot imagine my frustration at the multiple ways this book is completely and in many ways does not use it's inspiration? properly. Why are they riding on horses? Don't they have wings? Why are they paying taxes? Fairy lords and ladies are supposed to care for their people. Why are ALL the courts led by males? Why does Lucien have a metal eye? They HAVE MAGIC!!! Why do they have ships? Why do they need humans? THEY HAVE MAGIC!!!!! Most of the time that I'm reading it, I actually picture elves instead because that's the only way half of the shit in these books make sense.
@@junesmind7325 Magic is all about balance, give and take. You can’t fly everywhere wings get tired, the wings they have to train just like your muscles and everyday activity, you can’t winnow everywhere your power gets absorbed and needs to regenerate.

Lol, I was one of those people who started the series as a hardcore Tamlin fan. I only read the first book because my friend recommended it to me, but I couldn't even get through the first one hundred pages of the second book because I hated Rhysand so much. My friend told me all about how Rhysand actually ends up being a good guy and Tamlin is the asshole, but I just couldn't bring myself to finish the series knowing that my favorite character was going to be the worst. Honestly, I think Rhysand would have been a FAR better villain, because he was so much smarter, more calculating, and more intimidating than Amarantha ever was. He was intelligent and he was playing the game, and even though I hated him, I respected him for it. If he had a redemption arc through the series and ended up being allies with Feyre and Tamlin, I think I would have liked this series so much more, but to suddenly have characters do a 180 like that ... it didn't make sense to me. So now I'm watching these videos to understand the major points of the series so my friend and I can still talk about it, because I can't bring myself to finish these terrible books. 😂
If only you were there to give the author these ideas…😔
I started reading because my friend recommended but if I knew it was a love triangle I would have bailed. I liked Tamlin and Feyre together but not really there were issues but I still hate the way he was turned into a villain. I read book 2 but won’t finish the series.
It's the worst when authors do this, as a reader you feel cheated. It isn't a good look on the author either, because, to me at least, it gives the impression they don't care about readers or that they see the readers as fools.
A trilogy that I was really enjoying had the first two books making you root for this one guy. The author set everything up for him to be endgame, it was what made sense. There wasn't even a love triangle, because for the entirety of those first two books the MC only interacted with this one guy and she was completely head over heels, but in the third book suddenly a new guy appeared and just like that the MC and this new guy were supposed to be literal soulmates and the first guy we rooted for in the beginning for *two* whole books got tossed aside. It was infuriating. And to support this new pairing the author had the first guy act so out of character out of nowhere and for no reason other than to have the readers rooting for the new guy instead. To this day it makes me angry.
Anyway, sorry for ranting lol, I just wanted to say I understand the frustration.
@@treceslez Lmao I totally understand, can I ask which trilogy it was? Because I swear that sounds so familiar to me but I can't remember the name of the series.
@@hnichole Oh, it's a self published trilogy written in my native language, I don't think it hasn't been translated to English, but there surely are a lot of other books with this exact same problems, some authors really love character derailment xD
"in the last book he was a feminist... in this book he is Santa Teresa" MISS GIRL I CANT BAHJAHAHAHHAHAJAHHA
so what i’m hearing is rhysand solved sexism

I like how the LESBIAN side character says she occasionally enjoyed the sex. Like...then she’s not a lesbian. She’s bisexual with a preference for women.
That's what I said
Occasionally enjoying sex with men doesn't necessarily mean she has the desire to have sex with them or get sexually aroused by them. So, yeah, she can still be a lesbian.
@@SnorriSnibble Then explain how she can enjoy it, if it doesn't 'arouse' her. What you said literally makes no sense.
I only said she probably doesn't feel sexual attraction towards men, meaning that she doesn't get aroused by looking at or thinking about men. Doesn't mean that she absolutely repulses and hates having sex with a men or can't enjoy the act of sex itself. She might still get aroused by something else or the act itself. Maybe she pictured a woman in her head, I don't know. She most likely wouldn't initiate it with a man herself, but she's fine with it, if he wants to have sex.
There are lots of lesbians that were in a hetero relationship before and kinda enjoyed having sex, but realized that it doesn't feel quite right.
Asexuals can have and enjoy sex with their partners, too, although they usually don't feel sexual attraction or get aroused by anything at all. Because it's intimate.
You don't have to be especially horny for someone to have and enjoy sex with them.
Kristina Ma Asexuality is a spectrum. Being a lesbian isn’t.
Maas isnt the best at representation for this reason: she follows toxic and demeaning stereotypes, and to claim a lesbian ENJOYED sex, even occasionally, with a man feeds into the lesbophobic mindset that “maybe this man will be the one to convert her”. Again: this character is bisexual with a high preference for women.
Just so yall know this is the first video in booktube to reach 1m views!

didn't really seem like feyre's choice in book one when rhys held her against a wall and forced him to kiss her
He wasn't feminist then, or saint Theresa for that matter 😂😅

I actually choked on my ice cream because I was laughing so hard
Ah yes, the reverse English Teacher.
the gay monolouge was like hearing a customer tell a retail employee their entire life story
I can relate to this on a personal level. I worked in retail and I would get some of those customers. 🤣
IT WAS
i knew i knew that feeling somewhere lol
As a retail worker, I cannot tell you how excruciating it is. And that dialogue gave me the same queasy “get me out of here” feeling
Ma'am, this is a Wendy's
At least Feyre wanted to know all this and asked for it. Unlike us people in retail 😅
The way feyre talks about Tamlin is soooo condescending, as if no one else has any flaws or battles they are struggling with?! Feyre seems content to overlook everyone else's issues but when it comes to Tamlin she is incapable of seeing reason or even discussing anything openly with him. I only read the third book in the hope that we would see feyre and tamlin discuss their issues truthfully and work through their issues regardless of if they were together or not. It was so infuriating, i honestly hated the third book it was so hard to get through.
to be fair tamlin was an abuser lol
Me too! She’s such a hypocrite to the point where it is so annoying I hate how she treats Tamlin. I feel for Tamlin, Tamlin didn’t make all the right decisions and is not the perfect but according to that mirror she isn’t either.
Her: This is the third and final book of Sarah J. Maas's series.

I haven't read this book, what exactly makes it so wrong? From the few snippets I don't really see it
@@steinistein8611 a coming out that last 6 pages. I'm bi and the first time i said i liked girls out loud was so hard for me that i just said that "i like girls". Why would someone give an entire speech on their sexuality during a normal conversation? Ted talks last a lot less than that.
@@melisacaceres8740Her coming out was like 3 sentences long. Basically: I am bisexual. I like sex with both genders but only form real romantic attachment with women.
The rest of the monologue was about her relationship with her family, Azriel, Cassian, Nephelle and Andromache. And Feyre wanted to know the part about her relationship with Azriel and Cassian so it is not like she overshared or anything.
So how is this too long?
This book should be known as the fifty shades of fey..

Coming back to rewatch this after reading the series and my god, I read so many better fanfictions. The whole thing felt like a fan fiction written just for the author. You could tell she thought she knew the characters and really liked them so put in all this stupid banter but in reality they're just one dimensional cardboard cutouts. They felt like what I imagine a boy band fanfiction would be like where Feyre is the self-insert and Rhysand is Harry Styles.
The books were pure just pure fan service. Cant say I'm complaining
Is everyone just going to ignore the fact that she drank that entire Nalgene bottle of pineapple vodka?

I've watched this video more than five times and just now occurred to me that if Feyre is not in love with tamlin the curse should be restored??? Like it doesn't have anything in the curse that says something about this...
It makes me a bit ill that I paid such close attention reading but.... I think the curse was technically broken by Feyre figuring out the answer to the riddle. Tampon missed the deadline to break the curse with her "I love you" that's why she was fighting the worm and shit 🤷🏻♀️
@@Alice_Walker but Feyre is not tamlin's soulmate. Which means that she did not love him the way she supposed to, since her heart belong to rhysand. Amaranta should know that I guess haha it doesn't make any sense lol

Somebody else got this! High five!
Your whole rant about reading this for the sex scenes hit home with me. That’s basically the reason why I bought a lot of those trashy erotica novels. Like, really? Y’all think I’m reading it for the plot? Hell no. I’m reading it for the smut. That’s it. I don’t give a crap about character development and sh*t. I’m here for the smut.
I kinda do that to most smut novels I read and then get genuinely surprised when the translator pointed out a slight character development of the MC, like, "Oh? Development? S-sure, yess, s-she's developed y-yeah, now I noticed that-- I mean, I always noticed that, y-yeah. . ." My brain was a mush, I was there because I was horny and wanted to read the smut, why would I notice a slight character development? I didn't even notice the plot until someone pointed it out! Granted, it was a full smut novel with, like, 95% dirty smut, my brain is turned off most of the time.
There is one smut novel that I read that I noticed the development to, however, because the author actually set up the characters and their background solidly. It was polyandry and through some fcken miracle, all the MLs are, while a bit fcked in the head, actually genuinely interesting characters with their own pros and cons. The female lead was the standard 'pretty but not that pretty' pornstar who just somehow got involved with these hot men. Two of them knew her for years and fell for her during that time, one fell because she cared for him, one fell because sex with her somehow helps with his research, another one fell for her in a stalkerish way because her innocent girlish appearance triggered his predator instinct (sex was hot tho, I was down really bad), while the last one. . . He didn't really 'fall' but I think he just wants to join in. They all got character development, even the female lead. It was nice... But my reason to read it is still 70% the smut.
