💔 We’re all broken in our own ways
…in places no one might see
October 06, 2024
Welcome to Issue #11 of ✨The Prythian Post✨
SPOILER WARNING: This newsletter WILL contain spoilers for the entire ACOTAR series, so proceed at your own risk!
A Court of Memes & TikToks 📸
This week’s meme is dedicated to one of the most unlikely friendships in the ACOTAR series: Lady Death and Tiny Ancient One 🫶
I’m automatically a fan of any Parks and Rec x ACOTAR memes, but this one is an all-time favorite because I feel like this is actually something Amren would say after meeting Nesta lol.
SJM, I’m begging you to write a novella on their friendship 🙏 I just know their interactions would be so entertaining!
P.S. Never forget this unbelievably moving speech that Amren gave Nesta at the end of ACOSF: “That’s the key, isn’t it? To know the darkness will always remain, but how you choose to face it, handle it … that’s the important part. To not let it consume. To focus upon the good, the things that fill you with wonder. The struggle with that darkness is worth it, just to see such things.” 🤍
The TikTok of the week is a hilarious meme compilation that explains the entire plot of ACOTAR with minimal context 😂
I’ve watched this video at least 10 times and I still cannot decide which part of it makes me laugh the hardest (but if I had to choose, it would have to be Tamlin as big bird 💀)
If you have anyone in your life who refuses to give ACOTAR a try, just send them this TikTok and let it do the convincing for you 🤣
A Court of Trivia & Quizzes ❓
ICYMI: The Prythian Post and ACOTAR Fandom Facebook Page aren’t my only projects! I also run this website, Maasversity, which features tons of tricky trivia quizzes based on specific details and characters from the series 📚
This week’s trivia question comes from the book quiz: A Court of Mist and Fury Trivia Part Two
Which of these is NOT one of the Palaces in Velaris?
- Silk and Stones
- Thread and Jewels
- Bone and Salt
- Hoof and Leaf
Find out the correct answer (and take the full-length quiz) here 👇
A Court of Quotes & Sayings 📖
One of the very best things about the ACOTAR series is the abundance of beautiful quotes and relatable sayings. From heartwarming to heartbreaking, SJM never fails to pack a punch with her words 👊
For this week’s issue of TPP, I chose this underrated Mor quote:
“We’re all broken in our own ways—in places no one might see.”
A Court of Wings and Ruin, Chapter 55
Between “Don’t let the hard days win” and this profound line, it’s hard to deny the depth that Mor’s character is capable of. These two lines alone make me intrigued to hear more of her story.
If this quote holds a special place in your heart, feel free to save and share this week’s graphic however you’d like!
A Court of Fanart & Fanfiction ✍️
This week’s fanart selection goes out to our #1 fox daddy, Lucien 🦊🧡
Ok, I’m not going to pretend to have anything insightful to say about this piece because the only thought going through my head when looking at it is “CAULDRON BOIL ME” 🥵🤤 (followed by “Elain, you’re an idiot”)
The talented artist, @itswibell_art, absolutely crushed this Lucien portrait down to the very last detail and is now the reason why I will be picturing him with an unnecessarily hot braid and ear piercings 🔥
*If you are going to reshare any artwork, PLEASE credit the artist. They work so hard and deserve all the recognition!*
Remember the Court of Nightmares scene in ACOMAF? The tension, the build-up, the anticipation!?
Now imagine if Rhys had acted on that feeling that very night instead of waiting til the inn…
Oh wait, you don’t have to because that’s the premise of this week’s fanfiction selection!
Spoiler alert: it’s SPICY 🌶🌶🌶
Title: You. I want you.
Author: DarkRomanceOrNothingForMeThankYou
Summary: Set in ACOMAF, right after the scene of the Court of Nightmares. Rhys is unable to resist the mating bond any longer.
A Court of Polls & Opinions 📊
Last but not least, our poll of the week!
Before we get to it, here are the results of last week’s poll:
With nearly a third of the votes, the Kelpie takes the win for the Prythian creature that the majority of you would be the most scared to encounter. Based on a lot of the comments, it’s the idea of being drowned that freaks you out most 😖
Week Eleven Poll:
That’s all for this edition of ✨The Prythian Post✨
