A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas, The Huntress Goes Full G.I. Jane and Makes a Dangerous Bargain, Pt 3

1
00:00:00,016 --> 00:00:03,863
Hey, book besties! You're about to hear part 3 of our coverage of

2
00:00:03,863 --> 00:00:07,710
A Court of Thorns and Roses. The trials have begun, the stakes

3
00:00:07,710 --> 00:00:11,173
have never been higher, and Feyre is about to prove true

4
00:00:11,173 --> 00:00:14,859
strength isn't measured by power. It's measured by what you're willing to

5
00:00:14,859 --> 00:00:18,514
endure for the people you love. Grab your emotional support

6
00:00:18,546 --> 00:00:20,438
fairy wine and let's finish this shit.

7
00:00:43,642 --> 00:00:47,492
Well, she sees this creature that's like made of what looks

8
00:00:47,492 --> 00:00:51,246
like bark and whatever. It's like rifling through all the

9
00:00:51,326 --> 00:00:55,032
things, going back and forth, and then all of a sudden it sees her and

10
00:00:55,032 --> 00:00:57,823
she's like, who are you? Do you know where all these people are? And she

11
00:00:57,823 --> 00:01:00,583
was like, I don't know. I don't know. Are you dumb, girl? It's me,

12
00:01:01,193 --> 00:01:04,724
it's Alice. And she's like, whoa. Yeah,

13
00:01:04,756 --> 00:01:08,448
because Alice is not glamoured anymore. And then Alice is also

14
00:01:08,512 --> 00:01:11,914
going through the house and looking for

15
00:01:12,203 --> 00:01:15,814
like whatever she can salvage. Yeah, ration, because

16
00:01:15,814 --> 00:01:18,414
she's taking that back to her

17
00:01:18,928 --> 00:01:22,443
sister's kids who she now adopted because

18
00:01:22,716 --> 00:01:26,299
the kids' parents were killed. And so

19
00:01:26,299 --> 00:01:30,006
she's like, you know, getting all this and she's

20
00:01:30,006 --> 00:01:33,486
telling Farrah to just leave. Like, this is not safe for you.

21
00:01:33,712 --> 00:01:37,064
Yeah. And, but then she does give her instructions

22
00:01:37,322 --> 00:01:40,723
on how to, how to get to,

23
00:01:41,190 --> 00:01:43,478
um, Amaretto's

24
00:01:46,125 --> 00:01:49,045
cave

25
00:01:49,093 --> 00:01:52,804
and, and, you know, things to watch out for. And I

26
00:01:52,804 --> 00:01:55,747
think the funniest not funniest, but something that

27
00:01:56,357 --> 00:01:59,404
clicked in me and I had to go back and read this is like, don't

28
00:01:59,404 --> 00:02:02,739
drink the fairy wine. Yeah. Yeah. I was

29
00:02:02,916 --> 00:02:06,460
actually just gonna like see if I can find that, that piece, which I

30
00:02:06,460 --> 00:02:09,635
probably can't. But, uh, she does give,

31
00:02:10,549 --> 00:02:14,366
give her pretty clear guidance and instructions on

32
00:02:14,398 --> 00:02:18,182
shit that does go down while she's under there. Like how, like

33
00:02:18,231 --> 00:02:21,743
how to get there, how to, you know, what, what to do, what not to

34
00:02:21,775 --> 00:02:25,433
do, things like that. Right. And this is where I

35
00:02:25,530 --> 00:02:28,562
really saw, like, the butch lesbian energy

36
00:02:29,701 --> 00:02:33,295
come in for Feyre, 'cause she's like, I need to go save

37
00:02:33,407 --> 00:02:36,937
my man, or my woman, or whatever. But, like,

38
00:02:37,081 --> 00:02:40,595
she is, like, determined to

39
00:02:41,172 --> 00:02:44,991
go get her savior back. It's, it's

40
00:02:45,103 --> 00:02:48,699
kind of like a A savior complex. I kind of

41
00:02:48,731 --> 00:02:51,910
vaguely remember, but can I tell you, there was, I love Alice

42
00:02:52,665 --> 00:02:56,294
and I love her even more as the series goes on, but I did get

43
00:02:56,342 --> 00:02:59,489
mad at her when she was like yelling at Feyre in the kitchen. She's like,

44
00:02:59,955 --> 00:03:03,503
you dumb girl, you could have broken this curse. Cuz now at this point,

45
00:03:04,226 --> 00:03:07,630
that timeline has hit. So now Alice can

46
00:03:08,385 --> 00:03:12,160
talk about the curse beforehand. Part of that curse was

47
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:15,641
like nobody could tell Feyre anything about it. That was part of the deal. But

48
00:03:15,641 --> 00:03:19,186
now that that's happened, she's able to say like, the sickness in the land is

49
00:03:19,186 --> 00:03:22,787
actually Amaretto. You could have broken it if you would've just said you

50
00:03:22,869 --> 00:03:26,715
loved him. Like she tells her all the shit. Yeah. And

51
00:03:26,715 --> 00:03:30,129
like nobody gave her any clues or anything to say.

52
00:03:30,484 --> 00:03:34,252
Like, like you, you have to tell, tell him

53
00:03:34,671 --> 00:03:37,449
you, you love him. Like it was a fucked up, like.

54
00:03:38,589 --> 00:03:42,153
R-rated Disney movie. Okay. Yeah. That's the

55
00:03:42,153 --> 00:03:45,750
side quest. I'm like, if it was Beauty and the Beast, cuz a lot of

56
00:03:45,750 --> 00:03:49,491
people compare it to that. I'm like, yeah, Beauty and the Beast. If the Beast,

57
00:03:49,989 --> 00:03:51,851
Tamlin, was Gaston.

58
00:03:52,574 --> 00:03:56,106
Yeah. I was like, ah, Beauty and the

59
00:03:56,106 --> 00:03:59,848
Beast. Gaston's that egotistical motherfucker. But, but like, who was

60
00:03:59,880 --> 00:04:01,887
gonna be the teacup? Was that gonna be Alice?

61
00:04:03,742 --> 00:04:06,531
Or the teapot? No, Alice would be the teapot. Yeah. Yeah.

62
00:04:08,606 --> 00:04:11,375
So what, Lucien's Lumiere? Yes.

63
00:04:12,808 --> 00:04:16,640
Alice, shout out MVP, takes Feyre to like some side door

64
00:04:17,735 --> 00:04:21,101
that only like the people who really know how to get around know about. So

65
00:04:21,101 --> 00:04:24,260
it like cuts her travel down by like a significant amount.

66
00:04:24,888 --> 00:04:28,498
Yeah. Tells Feyre some very strong parting words. I'm gonna paraphrase it.

67
00:04:29,696 --> 00:04:33,381
But basically tells her, don't drink the wine. Don't make any deals

68
00:04:33,397 --> 00:04:36,857
unless your life depends on it. Um, it's like she

69
00:04:36,857 --> 00:04:40,697
took the, the warnings and then immediately

70
00:04:40,794 --> 00:04:44,408
decided that number 1 on my list and number 2 on my

71
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:48,016
list are gonna be exactly what Alice told me not to. A few rules to

72
00:04:48,016 --> 00:04:48,767
remember, girl.

73
00:04:51,948 --> 00:04:55,514
Don't drink the wine. It's not like what we had at the solstice.

74
00:04:55,996 --> 00:04:59,804
and will do more harm than good. Don't make deals with anyone unless

75
00:04:59,804 --> 00:05:03,596
your life depends on it. And then, even then, consider whether it's

76
00:05:03,596 --> 00:05:07,177
worth it. Most of all, don't trust a soul

77
00:05:07,615 --> 00:05:11,004
in there. Not even your Tamlin. Your

78
00:05:11,037 --> 00:05:14,570
senses are your greatest enemies. They will be waiting to

79
00:05:14,570 --> 00:05:16,891
betray you. There you go.

80
00:05:18,934 --> 00:05:22,670
Yeah. So Feyre goes through this mountain, fast forward.

81
00:05:23,336 --> 00:05:26,605
Uh, she's like on her journey and a creature grabs Feyre

82
00:05:27,422 --> 00:05:30,996
and drags her ass straight up to Amaretto's

83
00:05:31,124 --> 00:05:34,906
throne and throws Feyre on the ground. And this is

84
00:05:34,954 --> 00:05:38,463
when it gets good because Feyre looks up for the first time. She sees

85
00:05:38,559 --> 00:05:42,164
Amaretto. Mm-hmm. Amaretto's kind of hot. No,

86
00:05:43,046 --> 00:05:46,555
red hair. She's, she's kind of hot. You know what she reminds me of

87
00:05:46,811 --> 00:05:50,492
is like— Dummy mommy. Yeah. Dummy mommy. Like. I could—

88
00:05:50,752 --> 00:05:54,240
I can imagine her in like leathers and a whip

89
00:05:54,646 --> 00:05:58,104
and like fucking like stockades

90
00:05:58,298 --> 00:06:01,866
and spiky dildos and shit like that.

91
00:06:01,930 --> 00:06:04,949
Okay, she is a fucked up woman

92
00:06:05,788 --> 00:06:08,839
in more ways than one. Mm-hmm. And

93
00:06:08,952 --> 00:06:10,630
possessive as all fuck.

94
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:16,664
Tamlin. Fuck that guy. Fucking Tamlin.

95
00:06:18,141 --> 00:06:21,880
Yeah, Tamlin. But like when we got to this part with

96
00:06:21,896 --> 00:06:25,556
like Amaretto and all the fucked up shit she did, then

97
00:06:25,668 --> 00:06:29,408
I started like getting more and more into the book and— Mm-hmm.

98
00:06:30,002 --> 00:06:33,468
Me too. I think it was like the trials, like,

99
00:06:34,512 --> 00:06:37,866
you know, Feyre's back and

100
00:06:37,946 --> 00:06:40,707
Amaretto's like, hmm, you want him?

101
00:06:41,959 --> 00:06:45,267
You need to fight for him. And like,

102
00:06:46,134 --> 00:06:49,923
as she's at the throne and sees Amaretto, she sees Tamlin sitting next to

103
00:06:49,923 --> 00:06:53,729
Amaretto and Tamlin looks like he's— And he doesn't even anything. No reaction.

104
00:06:54,644 --> 00:06:58,449
It looks like he's— she's so bad so that Feyre thinks he's under a

105
00:06:58,449 --> 00:07:01,340
spell. He ain't.

106
00:07:01,725 --> 00:07:05,546
Newsflash, he's not under a spell. He's just not reacting because

107
00:07:06,430 --> 00:07:09,994
He doesn't want Amaretto to like hurt Feyre

108
00:07:09,994 --> 00:07:13,366
worse than she was probably already going, going to. Right.

109
00:07:14,169 --> 00:07:17,910
He wants to show no emotion and, and he succeeds. He shows no

110
00:07:18,006 --> 00:07:20,977
emotion. Uh, that's when Feyre discovers that

111
00:07:21,715 --> 00:07:25,296
Amaretto went to, went and

112
00:07:25,489 --> 00:07:29,262
got Claire thinking it was Tamlin. Claire and her whole family.

113
00:07:30,707 --> 00:07:34,525
Tortures her. lights her on fire or something. She's still

114
00:07:34,541 --> 00:07:38,118
hanging there. Yeah. She is. She's still hanging there. I was like, what a

115
00:07:38,166 --> 00:07:41,630
fucking psycho fucking bitch. Bitter ass

116
00:07:41,694 --> 00:07:45,062
bitch. Yeah. She, I was like, when I was describing this to my

117
00:07:45,062 --> 00:07:48,734
mother-in-law before she read the series, I was like, and Tamlin has like

118
00:07:48,750 --> 00:07:52,407
this crazy ex-girlfriend, Amaretto. They never dated, but

119
00:07:53,241 --> 00:07:57,074
Amarantha wants Tamlin. She wants Tamlin

120
00:07:57,074 --> 00:08:00,625
to be her man. Do you think that she just wants him

121
00:08:00,948 --> 00:08:04,399
to like want him, or do you think she just wants the full collection?

122
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:09,139
The full collection of 7 High Lords? Yeah,

123
00:08:09,301 --> 00:08:12,653
I do. Yeah. And I think she wants to,

124
00:08:13,106 --> 00:08:16,699
to control him. And now

125
00:08:16,764 --> 00:08:20,147
Feyre is there and she, for the first time, I think says,

126
00:08:21,042 --> 00:08:23,933
I'm here to claim Tamlin or some bullshit. She's like, this is the man I

127
00:08:23,933 --> 00:08:27,124
love. I want him. Mm-hmm. And, uh, Amaretto's like, well,

128
00:08:28,411 --> 00:08:32,144
let's play a game. Let's make a deal. Um, I think she says there are

129
00:08:32,209 --> 00:08:35,820
3 challenges that you have to go through, and if you

130
00:08:35,982 --> 00:08:38,824
can succeed, then you can have him. Yep.

131
00:08:39,842 --> 00:08:42,070
Or you can solve a riddle

132
00:08:43,632 --> 00:08:46,320
and free him and his, his

133
00:08:47,253 --> 00:08:49,249
town, his people immediately.

134
00:08:51,389 --> 00:08:55,220
Tells Feyre this riddle. Feyre's like,

135
00:08:55,317 --> 00:08:57,386
I don't know what the fuck the answer is. Yeah.

136
00:08:57,757 --> 00:09:01,556
Feyre's like, got me. I don't know.

137
00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:04,561
And apparently all the other fairies know and they're laughing at her cuz like, what

138
00:09:04,561 --> 00:09:08,309
a stupid human doesn't, can't solve this simple riddle. I'm the worst at riddles,

139
00:09:08,487 --> 00:09:10,199
buddy. That was me.

140
00:09:12,036 --> 00:09:14,336
I'm not figuring it out ever.

141
00:09:16,815 --> 00:09:20,070
What about you? Yeah, I wouldn't have. I, yeah, I'm like stupid when it comes

142
00:09:20,070 --> 00:09:23,454
to those things. Yeah. I honestly couldn't figure out

143
00:09:23,648 --> 00:09:26,453
what the, uh, what the, what it was

144
00:09:27,942 --> 00:09:31,550
until I got a little bit closer to the end of the book. And then

145
00:09:31,567 --> 00:09:35,256
I was like, okay, now, now I

146
00:09:35,304 --> 00:09:38,355
know what it, now I know what it is, but I'm not gonna say it

147
00:09:38,355 --> 00:09:41,631
yet until we get to that part. Yeah. Here it is.

148
00:09:42,222 --> 00:09:45,674
There are those who seek me in a lifetime, but, but never we meet,

149
00:09:46,075 --> 00:09:49,399
and those I kiss who trampled me beneath ungrateful feet.

150
00:09:50,073 --> 00:09:53,862
At times, I seem to favor the clever and the fair, but I

151
00:09:53,862 --> 00:09:57,700
bless all those who are brave enough to dare. By large,

152
00:09:57,732 --> 00:10:01,473
my ministrations are soft-handed and sweet, but

153
00:10:01,473 --> 00:10:05,230
scorned, I become a difficult beast to defeat. For though each

154
00:10:05,278 --> 00:10:09,038
of my strikes lands a powerful blow, When I kill, I

155
00:10:09,038 --> 00:10:12,687
do it slow. Fuck if I know.

156
00:10:13,518 --> 00:10:17,316
Fuck if I know. Right, right. I think I'm poison.

157
00:10:18,676 --> 00:10:20,854
Right. Yeah. Feyre's like, okay.

158
00:10:22,387 --> 00:10:25,146
She's like, well, so I can't even read your mood and you want me to

159
00:10:25,146 --> 00:10:28,582
have all these like fucking, fucking hell.

160
00:10:29,420 --> 00:10:33,194
Yeah, that's true. Feyre can't read and, and fucking Tamlin didn't try to help

161
00:10:33,194 --> 00:10:36,242
her. Nope. He's like, it's okay. Women don't need to read.

162
00:10:37,111 --> 00:10:40,747
Foreshadowing. Gee. Foreshadowing. A

163
00:10:40,908 --> 00:10:44,667
lot of foreshadowing. Yeah. So,

164
00:10:45,167 --> 00:10:48,944
um, Tara's like, oh shit, I gotta do these

165
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:52,094
missions cuz I'm not fucking figuring this riddle out.

166
00:10:52,918 --> 00:10:56,200
Uh, has to like live, I think it's like 3 months. It's like one

167
00:10:57,704 --> 00:11:00,984
every 3 months. It's one full moon, one on the full moon. Oh, thank you.

168
00:11:01,068 --> 00:11:04,786
Okay. Thank you. There you go. So in the meantime, she has to

169
00:11:04,834 --> 00:11:08,333
basically stay up in like a fucking

170
00:11:08,381 --> 00:11:11,398
dungeon. Yeah. Yeah. So no hospitality.

171
00:11:11,896 --> 00:11:15,523
Yeah. Yeah. And then Amerta's like, hospitality suite.

172
00:11:16,631 --> 00:11:20,354
No. Amerta's like, also while you're here, you need to earn your keep,

173
00:11:20,418 --> 00:11:22,746
so you might have to clean up a little bit.

174
00:11:23,083 --> 00:11:26,822
Vera's like, well, fuck me. The

175
00:11:26,838 --> 00:11:30,331
whole time trying to get just. any like glimpse of love from Tamlin and he's

176
00:11:30,331 --> 00:11:33,376
like, I don't know who she is. Never seen her a day in my life.

177
00:11:35,367 --> 00:11:39,210
Yeah. She pulls Rhysand. Yeah. She pulls Rhysand over.

178
00:11:39,258 --> 00:11:41,637
It's like, is this the, is this the girl or is that the girl? And

179
00:11:41,637 --> 00:11:45,125
Rhysand's like, I don't know. They all look the same. But I,

180
00:11:45,837 --> 00:11:49,654
but like all of these like tests that she

181
00:11:49,654 --> 00:11:53,357
did, and this is kind of where Rhysand becomes a little

182
00:11:53,373 --> 00:11:56,819
bit of a bitch. Yeah. He's a little fucking bitch.

183
00:11:59,046 --> 00:12:02,564
Okay. Why? Explain. Well, because like he's

184
00:12:02,871 --> 00:12:06,438
still doing Amaretto's bidding. Mm-hmm.

185
00:12:06,486 --> 00:12:10,291
Right. Oh. Mm-hmm. And like, he, he could help her,

186
00:12:10,839 --> 00:12:13,980
but he's not. And he,

187
00:12:14,931 --> 00:12:17,872
he wants her, but he doesn't want her. I'm like,

188
00:12:19,404 --> 00:12:22,484
you're a dick. You either want her and you're gonna help her.

189
00:12:23,202 --> 00:12:26,658
Or you don't want her and just leave her the fuck alone. When you say

190
00:12:26,658 --> 00:12:29,909
want her, you mean like sexually? Yeah. He wanted her sexually.

191
00:12:30,055 --> 00:12:33,826
Rhysand wants Feyre? Yeah. Like all up in her

192
00:12:33,858 --> 00:12:37,420
business, you know, screaming, Mimi, gonna tie her

193
00:12:37,501 --> 00:12:40,800
wrists to the, the bed and call it a day. But like,

194
00:12:42,414 --> 00:12:45,592
it, it took a while for him to like kind of come around. So.

195
00:12:46,955 --> 00:12:50,606
Oh, I think I, this is why I love that G hasn't read the rest

196
00:12:50,606 --> 00:12:54,039
of the fucking books because I gotta be honest with you, G. I did not

197
00:12:54,039 --> 00:12:56,814
pick up the I want her part. Mm-mm. I

198
00:12:57,411 --> 00:13:01,251
never, um, let me not even get into it cuz I don't want

199
00:13:01,300 --> 00:13:04,669
to ruin it, but I didn't pick that up in, in book one. Put a

200
00:13:04,669 --> 00:13:08,376
pin in this. Yeah. Foreshadowing. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Uh-huh.

201
00:13:09,020 --> 00:13:12,097
Uh-huh. Um, but they have a dynamic. So

202
00:13:12,886 --> 00:13:16,204
what, what is Rhysand and Amaretto's relationship?

203
00:13:17,975 --> 00:13:21,733
Uh, Rhysand is fucking her little bitch. Her little

204
00:13:21,733 --> 00:13:25,049
bitch. He fucked her a few times. Rhysand is

205
00:13:25,049 --> 00:13:28,463
Amaretto's little bitch. Yeah. Yeah.

206
00:13:28,851 --> 00:13:32,483
Like, I, I 1 million percent agree. Amaretto is, is his

207
00:13:32,596 --> 00:13:35,745
dom. She, he is her little slave.

208
00:13:36,470 --> 00:13:38,956
Mm-hmm. I, I wouldn't be surprised if he's, you know,

209
00:13:40,457 --> 00:13:43,608
being cockblocked like every, every other night,

210
00:13:44,585 --> 00:13:47,922
but like, Rhysand has to do

211
00:13:48,162 --> 00:13:50,985
whatever Amaretto was telling him to do. And

212
00:13:52,076 --> 00:13:55,797
I don't know, he was kind of a fucking pussy. All right, like, stand

213
00:13:56,006 --> 00:13:59,727
up for yourself. Like, don't be a pussy. Because here

214
00:13:59,727 --> 00:14:03,385
you have Feyre, right? This little butch with

215
00:14:03,481 --> 00:14:07,106
a tiny bit of a femme streak in her. Yeah, full G.I. Jane mode.

216
00:14:07,636 --> 00:14:11,165
Yeah, full G.I. Jane mode. I'm gonna save my man. I'm gonna get this

217
00:14:11,165 --> 00:14:14,742
shit done. I'm gonna use my head if I don't have the physical

218
00:14:14,774 --> 00:14:18,400
strength. I can't read though. Yeah, in the meantime,

219
00:14:18,465 --> 00:14:22,011
Rosanna's like jerking off in the corner to be like, oh, just go take care

220
00:14:22,011 --> 00:14:25,622
of yourself and maybe we'll have sex later on. And

221
00:14:25,622 --> 00:14:29,361
then like when she goes to like the party tonight,

222
00:14:29,393 --> 00:14:32,811
right, he's making her drink this fairy

223
00:14:32,923 --> 00:14:36,646
juice that like fucks her the fuck up. I

224
00:14:36,919 --> 00:14:40,369
love it. It's kind of like somebody being roofied,

225
00:14:40,481 --> 00:14:43,610
okay? Like, what the fuck? Do you want—

226
00:14:44,315 --> 00:14:47,971
uh, okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. All right. Yes, yes, yes, yes,

227
00:14:48,468 --> 00:14:51,979
yes. All the things. I'm with you 100%. Sorry. Not sorry.

228
00:14:52,637 --> 00:14:56,324
Not sorry. Yes. They call Rhysand Amarantha's

229
00:14:56,324 --> 00:14:59,804
whore. Mm-hmm. That is his title. That's how

230
00:14:59,932 --> 00:15:02,962
people in the land know him to be, and that is the role he plays.

231
00:15:03,556 --> 00:15:07,324
He also is very powerful, right? So he's kind of her little

232
00:15:07,324 --> 00:15:10,979
minion because he can see and read people's thoughts and minds.

233
00:15:11,236 --> 00:15:14,114
Yes. She cannot, she does not have and possess that power.

234
00:15:15,052 --> 00:15:18,559
So Rhysand plays that part. I'm your whore. 100%, girl,

235
00:15:18,834 --> 00:15:21,988
you're beautiful. Love you. You want me to read somebody's mind?

236
00:15:22,668 --> 00:15:26,118
Say when. He does whatever she wants. Yes.

237
00:15:26,846 --> 00:15:28,369
Fast forward to the first challenge.

238
00:15:31,334 --> 00:15:34,648
What I really liked about this is it brings us back to that huntress, right?

239
00:15:34,696 --> 00:15:38,315
Like that G.I. Jane we saw in the beginning of the book. She's back.

240
00:15:39,024 --> 00:15:42,627
The first challenge is like, I'm gonna fuck this up, but she basically is

241
00:15:42,627 --> 00:15:45,941
like running from this

242
00:15:46,086 --> 00:15:49,812
worm, earthworm eating fucking creature. Yeah. It's a

243
00:15:49,812 --> 00:15:52,893
crazy fucking thing that whatever was going after her.

244
00:15:54,010 --> 00:15:57,801
Yeah. I just imagine like a worm with an open mouth and like a

245
00:15:57,801 --> 00:16:01,287
bunch of little teeth and it's like fucking huge. Like Doom.

246
00:16:01,657 --> 00:16:05,130
Yes, yes, yes, yes. And so And then it's like in like a

247
00:16:05,130 --> 00:16:08,131
stadium. So everybody's sitting and looking down and watching,

248
00:16:08,789 --> 00:16:12,223
waiting to watch her die. Yeah. And instead of dying,

249
00:16:13,523 --> 00:16:17,022
she channels what she knows. Okay, I am gonna hunt.

250
00:16:17,696 --> 00:16:21,467
And she immediately starts assessing where she's at. She's counting turns as she's

251
00:16:21,467 --> 00:16:25,158
running from this fucking thing. At one point she sees a little crack in a

252
00:16:25,174 --> 00:16:28,977
wall and to get away from this huge worm, she's gonna like try to get

253
00:16:29,025 --> 00:16:32,656
through this wall onto the other side and she gets stuck. She can't move

254
00:16:32,738 --> 00:16:36,076
forward. It's almost as if something is holding her back.

255
00:16:37,904 --> 00:16:41,523
Do you think it's just the mud or did you think something or

256
00:16:41,523 --> 00:16:44,885
someone was holding her? I felt like something was holding her

257
00:16:44,982 --> 00:16:47,686
back from being able to

258
00:16:51,826 --> 00:16:55,370
do the action. Yeah. Yeah. What about you, Nacho?

259
00:16:57,132 --> 00:17:00,231
I didn't pick up any of that. No, I was like, hey,

260
00:17:00,378 --> 00:17:03,888
I'm gonna be your nacho

261
00:17:03,888 --> 00:17:07,703
man. Um, squirrel. Uh, no, I

262
00:17:07,752 --> 00:17:11,535
didn't pick up on any of that. I was too into like, what's

263
00:17:11,535 --> 00:17:15,374
next? Oh my God, right? I like, when I get to that

264
00:17:15,406 --> 00:17:19,198
part of the book, I'm just like, yeah, she's a badass! Like,

265
00:17:19,279 --> 00:17:22,838
go! I hate that she's doing it for this asshole, but Yeah.

266
00:17:22,902 --> 00:17:25,820
She's like really stretching her legs and maybe this is gonna go like a whole

267
00:17:25,932 --> 00:17:29,652
other way. Yeah. Yeah. I like saw her as like

268
00:17:29,700 --> 00:17:33,468
a butch survivalist. You know, she couldn't

269
00:17:33,628 --> 00:17:37,155
overpower the, the monster, so she just watched it and

270
00:17:37,252 --> 00:17:41,100
adapted. Oh, was she like a tiny gnome? She

271
00:17:41,100 --> 00:17:44,755
was a tiny gnome, but she used her environment. She was a tiny gnome

272
00:17:44,771 --> 00:17:48,347
butch. A tiny gnome butch. Kind of like me. I'm

273
00:17:48,395 --> 00:17:50,543
more of a flutch though, but like,

274
00:17:57,039 --> 00:18:00,726
I almost choked. I almost choked. I have, I have

275
00:18:00,823 --> 00:18:03,946
tears in my eyes that went through the nose and back down.

276
00:18:05,042 --> 00:18:08,863
Oh no, you just cleaned your sinuses on the podcast

277
00:18:08,863 --> 00:18:09,875
live action.

278
00:18:14,442 --> 00:18:17,219
I'll pull the vodka thing now. The vodka. Wait, do I have more?

279
00:18:19,141 --> 00:18:22,894
I hope so. Where's the bottle? Are you gonna take a

280
00:18:22,894 --> 00:18:24,900
nap after this like you did the last time?

281
00:18:29,343 --> 00:18:33,005
Yes! It's still one. It's one drink. It's one

282
00:18:33,053 --> 00:18:36,441
pour from the same container. Into like a

283
00:18:36,603 --> 00:18:40,433
12-ounce— wait, at least like a 16-ounce glass. No, but look at the pretty glitter.

284
00:18:41,128 --> 00:18:44,937
It is so cool. Yeah, so like

285
00:18:45,018 --> 00:18:48,324
the little garden gnome-sized butch survivalist,

286
00:18:48,790 --> 00:18:52,562
she just adapted, right? And even though she felt like

287
00:18:52,562 --> 00:18:56,077
she was being held back, but I loved what she did and like

288
00:18:56,735 --> 00:19:00,394
doing the skulls and the, and the bones and, and

289
00:19:00,427 --> 00:19:03,974
sticking them up so that like when the worm motherfucker came through,

290
00:19:04,921 --> 00:19:08,372
okay, he got skewered and now he's kebab. She hunted. Yeah. She

291
00:19:08,372 --> 00:19:12,207
said, you want me to be out here? Bet

292
00:19:12,319 --> 00:19:16,054
I'm gonna hunt this motherfucker down and kill it. I think

293
00:19:16,070 --> 00:19:19,837
she was held in the wall when she was trying to like squeeze through because

294
00:19:19,837 --> 00:19:23,652
that's when she realizes that this fucking worm is blind and it

295
00:19:23,668 --> 00:19:27,195
can only smell. Mm-hmm. And it's like once she had that thought and

296
00:19:27,275 --> 00:19:30,337
realized it, something let her go and she was able to go through the wall.

297
00:19:31,283 --> 00:19:34,312
Yeah. And then like rubbing all that smelly

298
00:19:34,569 --> 00:19:38,368
gross— Oh, oh, I could almost smell it as I was reading

299
00:19:38,416 --> 00:19:41,975
the book. I'm like, ugh. 'Cause it's like mud and shit and piss and everything.

300
00:19:42,039 --> 00:19:44,718
And see, this is the part of the book that makes me ha— uh,

301
00:19:45,971 --> 00:19:49,744
accept the fact that I had to go 8,000 chapters in, in order to start

302
00:19:49,744 --> 00:19:53,052
loving this book because this last couple of chapters was

303
00:19:53,116 --> 00:19:56,857
just mind-blowing. Yeah. All Is

304
00:19:56,857 --> 00:20:00,309
Forgiven. This is when I was telling Jude, like when she couldn't get through it,

305
00:20:00,325 --> 00:20:03,472
I was like, just wait, you gotta get to this thing and it's gonna like,

306
00:20:03,617 --> 00:20:05,865
this is when it kicked in for me. And this is when it kicked in

307
00:20:05,865 --> 00:20:09,535
for me. So like from chapter 35 on, I could, I could deal

308
00:20:09,535 --> 00:20:13,049
with it. But these tasks are

309
00:20:13,599 --> 00:20:16,759
like reminding me of like some of the struggles like we all have to go

310
00:20:16,759 --> 00:20:20,126
through, right? Like, how do we get through it? Do we survive? To

311
00:20:20,392 --> 00:20:24,154
survive, what do we have to do? Do we adapt? Do we like

312
00:20:24,701 --> 00:20:28,372
do— Break it down into smaller pieces? Break— do we do shit that we

313
00:20:28,807 --> 00:20:32,606
typically wouldn't do, like rub shit all over ourselves? Okay, listen,

314
00:20:32,832 --> 00:20:36,436
I don't know. That is gonna be almost a super hard pass for me. I

315
00:20:36,469 --> 00:20:38,168
don't think I could do it because A, I have a horrible gag reflex, okay?

316
00:20:38,216 --> 00:20:42,058
So I'm gonna be throwing up. up on myself all day long.

317
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:47,598
Yeah. And number 2, like, I, I don't know if I could,

318
00:20:47,970 --> 00:20:51,311
if I would want that on my skin. But then, you know, fucking

319
00:20:51,343 --> 00:20:54,983
Rashand, even though she smells like a, you know, fucking toilet,

320
00:20:55,776 --> 00:20:59,594
he's like, hey girl, hey. I'm like, you're a dick.

321
00:21:00,161 --> 00:21:03,741
All right, listen, I smell like shit and now you wanna be like, hey

322
00:21:03,871 --> 00:21:07,305
girl, hey. Hold up, hold up. You done skipped like the best part of this

323
00:21:07,305 --> 00:21:10,940
shit is like, Um, she rubs

324
00:21:10,940 --> 00:21:14,500
the shit and piss all over herself. Yeah.

325
00:21:14,500 --> 00:21:18,040
Yeah. So she's rubbing the shit all over

326
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:21,720
herself. How many times am I gonna say that? Say that one more time

327
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:25,480
while I'm trying to take a drink. So as it turns out, she rubs shit

328
00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:28,700
all over herself. No, there's a market for that

329
00:21:28,700 --> 00:21:32,500
somewhere. No longer just a tip. Uh, I, we're gonna call it

330
00:21:32,500 --> 00:21:36,220
the whisper moment. The whisper moment. She, she

331
00:21:36,220 --> 00:21:38,760
rubs herself with shit. Yeah. 'Cause this book doesn't have a just a tip. There's

332
00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:41,517
no hot sex moment. Whisper into the mic.

333
00:21:42,725 --> 00:21:46,508
Yes, she would. She rubs shit

334
00:21:46,572 --> 00:21:47,634
all over herself.

335
00:21:49,791 --> 00:21:53,202
Shit. She smells like a latrine. Like a

336
00:21:53,347 --> 00:21:56,958
latrine? Mmm, yummy.

337
00:21:57,607 --> 00:21:58,840
Makes me want to kiss her.

338
00:22:01,482 --> 00:22:04,157
As she's rubbing the shit on herself,

339
00:22:04,947 --> 00:22:08,557
fairies are like, ew, gross, what is she doing? And the only

340
00:22:08,589 --> 00:22:11,749
one that immediately knew was Rhysand. He goes, oh,

341
00:22:12,471 --> 00:22:16,321
she just became invisible. Yes. Because

342
00:22:16,321 --> 00:22:19,337
now she smells like this creature's shit. And so Feyre now is,

343
00:22:19,995 --> 00:22:23,813
she's in huntress mode. She's like, cool, you can't find me. She, what

344
00:22:23,846 --> 00:22:27,038
you were saying earlier, she like makes like a trap, like a snare trap of

345
00:22:27,231 --> 00:22:30,455
bones and like gross shit in this giant pit to like,

346
00:22:31,242 --> 00:22:34,755
for this worm to fall on. And then she's like, I'm not done yet.

347
00:22:35,156 --> 00:22:37,708
I'm gonna now make a ladder out of these bones so that I can climb

348
00:22:37,805 --> 00:22:41,608
out after. She climbs out, she lures the fucking

349
00:22:41,673 --> 00:22:44,754
creature by cutting her hand. So now he could smell the blood.

350
00:22:45,364 --> 00:22:48,702
She runs and she had already been counting the turns, so she knew the exact

351
00:22:48,799 --> 00:22:52,121
path to get there. She jumps into the pit.

352
00:22:52,587 --> 00:22:55,925
The worm follows her. Bam. Gets snared by all these bones.

353
00:22:56,679 --> 00:23:00,467
In doing so, as she jumps down, she actually cuts her arm. Yeah.

354
00:23:00,916 --> 00:23:03,803
She's fine. She's like, that's cool. I could still make it out. Makes it out

355
00:23:04,444 --> 00:23:08,277
and half the crowd is cheering. Holy shit. That was the coolest thing we've seen.

356
00:23:08,790 --> 00:23:12,174
Amaretto's not pleased at all. Feyre's

357
00:23:12,542 --> 00:23:16,295
furious cuz now that hunter is inside of her and she went and like grabbed

358
00:23:16,391 --> 00:23:19,743
a bone and like just fucking darted it towards

359
00:23:19,759 --> 00:23:23,142
Amaretto in the stands and it lands right in front of Amaretto's feet.

360
00:23:23,607 --> 00:23:27,167
So hot. So fucking hot. Like I was like, God.

361
00:23:27,393 --> 00:23:31,233
Damn, Feyre. I'm attracted to masculinity. So for

362
00:23:31,233 --> 00:23:34,826
me, I was like, holy shit. Amazing. I like that

363
00:23:34,826 --> 00:23:38,539
Amaretto is like, oh, you cost a lot of people a lot of money,

364
00:23:39,463 --> 00:23:43,159
but only one person made money

365
00:23:43,192 --> 00:23:47,040
on this. Rhysand. Rhysand made the money. He

366
00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:47,777
said she'll make it.

367
00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:54,255
That's when you, that you're right. That's when the dynamic changes a little bit

368
00:23:54,369 --> 00:23:58,098
because Rhysand's like, oh, I kind of

369
00:23:58,130 --> 00:24:01,916
like this girl. Like, she's a badass. She's gonna,

370
00:24:02,060 --> 00:24:05,205
you know, she'll do whatever it takes to survive,

371
00:24:05,814 --> 00:24:09,536
but she's doing it because she still like believes in her head that

372
00:24:09,584 --> 00:24:13,034
she loves Tamlin. Oh yeah. But here's the fucking thing with like

373
00:24:13,034 --> 00:24:16,724
Tamlin, right? Like now he's being a, he is being a

374
00:24:16,900 --> 00:24:20,205
big old pussy. He's sitting next to Amaretto

375
00:24:20,574 --> 00:24:24,280
on, on the stage and he's just all like, kind of like checked

376
00:24:24,360 --> 00:24:28,078
the fuck out. He's not even doing anything to help her out. Like, if

377
00:24:28,190 --> 00:24:31,812
you love somebody that much, get up off your fucking ass.

378
00:24:32,196 --> 00:24:35,817
Stop being selfish. Well, if you thought that somebody was holding her in that

379
00:24:35,817 --> 00:24:39,343
little crevasse, I love it. Why wasn't it

380
00:24:39,343 --> 00:24:42,595
Tamlin? Yeah. Why was

381
00:24:43,268 --> 00:24:46,729
it? Why? It could have been Tamlin holding her in the crevasse. He could have

382
00:24:46,729 --> 00:24:50,527
literally fucking done anything, but Tamlin doesn't have the powers

383
00:24:50,559 --> 00:24:54,281
to hold her. But you don't know. Who at that moment in time,

384
00:24:54,345 --> 00:24:57,781
you don't for sure. For sure. You don't know. I only have a theory because

385
00:24:57,781 --> 00:25:01,233
I've read the whole series and now I'm back to one. Yeah. But yeah, yeah.

386
00:25:01,314 --> 00:25:04,364
I will say in terms of not helping her out, so Jeek doesn't know.

387
00:25:05,151 --> 00:25:08,989
She didn't know in terms of helping her out. Even fucking Lucien, God

388
00:25:09,021 --> 00:25:12,714
bless his heart, still catching strays, is like, to your left,

389
00:25:12,794 --> 00:25:16,214
because she didn't know where the worm was. He yells it out and risks his

390
00:25:16,391 --> 00:25:20,177
safety to help her. Tamlin didn't do shit. She didn't

391
00:25:20,338 --> 00:25:24,026
do shit. Now we, we could argue Lucien was ordered by Tamlin to

392
00:25:24,026 --> 00:25:27,731
help Feyre. Yeah, maybe. But I, I like to think that he did it on

393
00:25:27,731 --> 00:25:31,243
his own. But I just, I, you know, I just didn't like the way

394
00:25:31,387 --> 00:25:35,060
that like Tamlin didn't do fucking shit.

395
00:25:35,717 --> 00:25:38,973
Like you professed your love for this woman, even though you're being

396
00:25:39,085 --> 00:25:42,805
held as a slave by fucking Amaretto and her

397
00:25:42,805 --> 00:25:46,101
psychotic um, dumb

398
00:25:46,619 --> 00:25:49,908
maneuvers, but you're just sitting there like a fucking, like,

399
00:25:50,410 --> 00:25:54,178
bump on a goddamn log and like, oh, my girl's hurt, but I

400
00:25:54,178 --> 00:25:57,924
can't really help her because I'm too— I'm feeling so sorry for myself.

401
00:25:58,384 --> 00:26:02,166
Listen, bitch, get up, find your fucking voice,

402
00:26:02,409 --> 00:26:05,967
and help her. Yeah,

403
00:26:06,211 --> 00:26:09,153
I'm gonna be completely wild on this, and I'm gonna say— I'm not saying it

404
00:26:09,153 --> 00:26:12,720
with my full chest, but I, I do

405
00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:16,080
want to say that Tamlin didn't help her cuz

406
00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:19,880
he didn't really, I mean, no, he did. He, he didn't want her to

407
00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:23,120
die, I suppose, but he didn't want her to die, but he was like, I

408
00:26:23,120 --> 00:26:26,280
don't think he thought she could get through this. So I think he thought like,

409
00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:29,740
oh, it's game over. Fuck it. What's the point? Yeah. Yeah.

410
00:26:29,740 --> 00:26:33,520
Okay. But fuck, you love this woman, right? You, wow. You have

411
00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:36,160
fallen in love with this woman. He said he loved her. He did. He loved

412
00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:39,862
her multiple times. Not for any reason in particular. If you say you

413
00:26:40,135 --> 00:26:43,894
are, you are in love with this woman, fucking fight for

414
00:26:43,974 --> 00:26:47,620
her. Don't be like a fucking, like, oh, but that like speaks more

415
00:26:47,637 --> 00:26:50,785
to, but that speaks more to like Skittles'

416
00:26:51,203 --> 00:26:54,512
theory of like, it was just a fucking setup from word go.

417
00:26:54,978 --> 00:26:58,768
Yeah. It, it, that part of the book made me mad. I'm like,

418
00:26:59,556 --> 00:27:03,186
what a fucking dick. Yeah. But like, I'm like team Farrah

419
00:27:03,186 --> 00:27:06,640
right now because, yeah. We all are. Like, we're with her. When

420
00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:10,000
the worst part of her comes out and she's like kicking

421
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:13,180
ass. Yeah. Even when she was all like fucking broken and

422
00:27:13,180 --> 00:27:17,000
shit. Yeah. And like, who, who fixed

423
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:20,640
her up? Was that Lucien or was it Rhysand? Rhysand. It was

424
00:27:20,640 --> 00:27:24,400
Rhysand. Okay. Because she was almost dead. Yeah. And she kept

425
00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:27,900
waiting for Lucien and then Lucien just never came. He was pre-empted. Rhysand

426
00:27:27,900 --> 00:27:31,500
did. He died. By what was— do you guys remember what happens to Lucien? I

427
00:27:31,500 --> 00:27:34,580
mean, we find out after, but in that moment, like timeline-wise,

428
00:27:35,877 --> 00:27:39,578
He gets in trouble for yelling to your left. Yeah. And Amaretta,

429
00:27:39,963 --> 00:27:43,232
Amaretto, Amarantha orders

430
00:27:44,065 --> 00:27:47,911
his punishment to be delivered by fucking Tamlin. 'Cause Tamlin's like, please don't

431
00:27:47,911 --> 00:27:51,292
kill him. So Amaretto's like, cool, then you have to deliver all the

432
00:27:51,292 --> 00:27:55,026
lashes. Right. He had to, he gave Lucien like

433
00:27:55,026 --> 00:27:58,455
50 lashes or something. And like, how fucking— Fucking

434
00:27:58,487 --> 00:28:01,067
Lucien catching strays. Like,

435
00:28:02,249 --> 00:28:05,964
Gets his ass whipped by his best friend. By his best

436
00:28:05,964 --> 00:28:09,323
friend. Like, how fucking hard was that for

437
00:28:10,161 --> 00:28:13,511
both Tamlin and Lucien to, I

438
00:28:13,511 --> 00:28:17,312
don't know, like, fuck, man. Kind of

439
00:28:17,328 --> 00:28:20,950
hot though. Kind of hot. The thought of, yeah. So now Lucien's

440
00:28:20,950 --> 00:28:24,556
recovering. He can't go to Feyre right away cuz he's injured. He's trying

441
00:28:24,669 --> 00:28:28,420
to heal and, and be able to walk. I think the next time he sees

442
00:28:28,420 --> 00:28:31,201
her, he's like, I could finally walk after, like, that's how bad he got his

443
00:28:31,201 --> 00:28:34,785
ass whooped. So Rhysand shows up that night

444
00:28:34,801 --> 00:28:38,476
because she's dying, essentially. She's got a really

445
00:28:38,509 --> 00:28:42,266
bad infection from the cut on her arm and being

446
00:28:42,444 --> 00:28:45,854
covered in shit. And so she's,

447
00:28:46,322 --> 00:28:50,055
she's got a fever. I've never been more turned on by shit in my

448
00:28:50,055 --> 00:28:53,859
life. Feyre knows she's dying. She's

449
00:28:53,859 --> 00:28:57,278
like, I have a fever. I'm not gonna make it. Fuck. Right?

450
00:28:57,906 --> 00:29:00,311
Yep. So Rhysand shows up and he's like,

451
00:29:01,754 --> 00:29:05,088
hey, Feyre, um, looks like you're gonna die,

452
00:29:06,258 --> 00:29:09,993
but I could, I could help you out. Yeah. And this is

453
00:29:10,105 --> 00:29:12,959
when she has to make that deal with

454
00:29:13,392 --> 00:29:17,031
Rhysand. Yes. Yeah. And she immediately says no, cuz she don't trust

455
00:29:17,063 --> 00:29:20,846
him. She's like, no, not, not from what I've seen. I'm not doing it. He's

456
00:29:20,846 --> 00:29:23,731
like, are you sure though? Are you sure? He's like, let me see your arm.

457
00:29:24,292 --> 00:29:27,579
Fucking squeezes it and makes it painful. Yeah.

458
00:29:28,204 --> 00:29:31,939
Yeah. Grabs the bone. He's like wiggling it around. He's like, are you sure?

459
00:29:32,788 --> 00:29:36,636
Are you double, triple sure? You ready to die right now? Yeah. Like,

460
00:29:37,181 --> 00:29:40,980
he's like, make it all go away. You've already done one. You've only

461
00:29:40,980 --> 00:29:44,475
got 2 more. Right. And, and I think

462
00:29:44,475 --> 00:29:48,306
Feyre, her at that moment, her life depends on it. But really,

463
00:29:48,498 --> 00:29:51,509
if she dies, who's gonna save Tamlin? So she's like, all right.

464
00:29:52,517 --> 00:29:56,205
They bargain for one week a month to spend. She has to

465
00:29:56,205 --> 00:29:59,960
spend with Rhysand in the Night Court. Mm-hmm. And all

466
00:30:00,009 --> 00:30:03,004
Feyre has heard of the Night Court is like, it's a creepy place. It's basically

467
00:30:03,004 --> 00:30:06,839
where Amaretto based this entire— yeah. Culture chamber

468
00:30:06,855 --> 00:30:10,133
on is this Night Court. So she's like, this whole Under the Mountain is

469
00:30:10,309 --> 00:30:14,149
fashioned after the Night Court. Yeah. And Rhysand's like, I'd love

470
00:30:14,165 --> 00:30:16,331
to take you there. Wiggles her bone,

471
00:30:17,899 --> 00:30:21,269
causes her pain, but ultimately. Yeah. They

472
00:30:21,638 --> 00:30:24,707
hold hands, they like form, they like solidify the,

473
00:30:25,494 --> 00:30:29,013
the, the deal with the tattoo on her arm. So now she's marked and anybody

474
00:30:29,013 --> 00:30:31,761
who can see her, all of a sudden she's, this bitch got a tattoo, but

475
00:30:32,147 --> 00:30:35,119
she's healed and she doesn't die. She makes it to the next challenge.

476
00:30:36,019 --> 00:30:39,683
Mm-hmm. And that's that next challenge, man. Fucking

477
00:30:39,715 --> 00:30:43,426
Lucian back at it. Fucking like, it pissed

478
00:30:43,507 --> 00:30:47,218
it, it like pissed me off. Because I

479
00:30:47,330 --> 00:30:51,119
think Amaretto realized that, uh, Feyre

480
00:30:51,119 --> 00:30:54,715
couldn't read. Yeah. Who do you think, how do you think she

481
00:30:54,956 --> 00:30:58,665
figured that out? I think Tamlin fucking told her. Right? Yeah.

482
00:30:58,970 --> 00:31:02,566
I, I think— 'Cause, 'cause Rhysand doesn't know until that challenge happens.

483
00:31:03,385 --> 00:31:07,174
He's like, oh, she can't read. That she can't read. And like,

484
00:31:08,202 --> 00:31:11,509
you know, she's trying to— Oh, but wait, can we go back? 'Cause after she

485
00:31:11,509 --> 00:31:14,971
gets healed. Mm-hmm. Lucien comes in. Yes. Yeah.

486
00:31:15,420 --> 00:31:19,185
And he's like, how dare you? Yeah.

487
00:31:19,602 --> 00:31:22,534
Make a bond. Mm-hmm. A deal.

488
00:31:23,848 --> 00:31:27,084
And, and Feyre's just like, where the fuck were you,

489
00:31:27,452 --> 00:31:31,170
beefcake? Yeah. Get the fuck outta my face. I

490
00:31:31,218 --> 00:31:34,967
was dying. He's like, bitch, I couldn't walk. Tamlin

491
00:31:34,967 --> 00:31:38,428
done whooped my ass. He's like, I tried to get here as soon as I

492
00:31:38,428 --> 00:31:42,196
could. Tamlin might have been doing some other things too. You know, like,

493
00:31:42,855 --> 00:31:46,149
I'm just saying, like, I don't think it was that bad. I think he was

494
00:31:46,214 --> 00:31:49,669
healing, but I, I think he was just trying to wait for some of the

495
00:31:49,669 --> 00:31:52,517
heat to blow off. I don't think he was healing

496
00:31:53,435 --> 00:31:57,186
with, uh, really sarcastic air quotes here. I

497
00:31:57,186 --> 00:32:00,539
don't think he was healing that long. I think he had healed up

498
00:32:00,766 --> 00:32:03,941
fine, maybe a day.

499
00:32:04,913 --> 00:32:07,452
Yeah. And then just was waiting

500
00:32:08,753 --> 00:32:12,431
for the right time. Yeah. The right time

501
00:32:12,608 --> 00:32:16,398
for the, like, the heat to die down on him. Mm-hmm. Maybe. But don't

502
00:32:16,398 --> 00:32:19,530
fucking be a dick and like tell her, how dare you, when she was just

503
00:32:19,530 --> 00:32:23,256
trying to fucking survive. Yeah. Oh my God. Sorry.

504
00:32:23,304 --> 00:32:27,078
We totally forgot something in the beginning. Do it. Amaretto

505
00:32:27,078 --> 00:32:30,547
says, what's your name? And Farrah doesn't wanna give the name. And then they grab

506
00:32:30,595 --> 00:32:34,404
Lucien and threaten to kill Lucien and Feyre then says,

507
00:32:34,469 --> 00:32:37,625
no, no, no, it's Feyre. It's Feyre to save Lucien. So I, I bring that

508
00:32:37,625 --> 00:32:41,022
up now cuz I think to some degree that changes their

509
00:32:41,151 --> 00:32:44,853
dynamic. And now Lucien, I wonder how much of him helping her is because he

510
00:32:44,853 --> 00:32:47,578
cares about her. Like, you saved my life. I need to help you out. I

511
00:32:47,578 --> 00:32:51,342
think they really made like a connection and

512
00:32:51,423 --> 00:32:55,011
a friendship at the Spring Court. Yeah. I

513
00:32:55,059 --> 00:32:58,871
think that like, I think that

514
00:32:58,919 --> 00:33:02,676
like at the spring court before she got kicked out back

515
00:33:02,676 --> 00:33:06,518
to her family, like the whole cereal story, I

516
00:33:06,534 --> 00:33:10,148
think they were like— Homies. Yeah. Like sarcastic.

517
00:33:10,293 --> 00:33:14,102
Okay, maybe you're not such a shithead and let's be friends. Like, you know,

518
00:33:14,568 --> 00:33:18,188
a tentative friendship there. And I feel like that friendship

519
00:33:18,188 --> 00:33:21,796
just sort of bloomed.

520
00:33:22,460 --> 00:33:26,278
And, and so I think that there's history there for

521
00:33:26,278 --> 00:33:29,733
that. for that idea that, that they are

522
00:33:29,847 --> 00:33:33,183
already friends and that they do care for each other.

523
00:33:34,138 --> 00:33:37,582
Maybe not romantically, but definitely care for each other. Yeah.

524
00:33:38,178 --> 00:33:41,949
He's loyal, you know? He, yeah, he is loyal, but I think that

525
00:33:42,046 --> 00:33:45,769
all kind of plays into like that second challenge, right?

526
00:33:47,446 --> 00:33:51,285
Poor Lucien. Fucking second challenge. Do you, do you wanna walk us through it?

527
00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:54,135
Yeah. So like, Lucien is chained,

528
00:33:55,514 --> 00:33:58,581
right? And like this challenge,

529
00:34:01,180 --> 00:34:04,943
Feyre has to read out, like figure out a riddle

530
00:34:05,152 --> 00:34:08,739
or whatever. And as she's like trying to go through

531
00:34:08,852 --> 00:34:12,564
it, like these walls of spikes are

532
00:34:12,564 --> 00:34:16,051
coming down onto like Lucien and she's

533
00:34:16,099 --> 00:34:19,625
struggling, right? And it's multiple choice. And it's multiple

534
00:34:19,625 --> 00:34:23,387
choice. And I think that like

535
00:34:23,759 --> 00:34:26,573
the fucked up, like mental healthy part of this is

536
00:34:27,478 --> 00:34:30,907
that it was making Feyre feel

537
00:34:31,133 --> 00:34:34,755
shameful that she couldn't read. And like the

538
00:34:34,755 --> 00:34:37,812
fucking bitch

539
00:34:38,070 --> 00:34:41,406
Amaretto, she, she didn't fucking care. 'Cause she was

540
00:34:41,406 --> 00:34:45,101
strong. She was strong. But like Feyre is

541
00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:48,909
more strong-willed. than Amaretto

542
00:34:49,310 --> 00:34:53,049
thinks of her, right? Mm-hmm. She, you know, this butch

543
00:34:53,467 --> 00:34:56,837
lesbian energy of like, I'm gonna show you,

544
00:34:56,853 --> 00:35:00,609
motherfucker. I might be short and scraggly and whatever the fuck you think

545
00:35:00,609 --> 00:35:04,284
I am, but I'm gonna figure this out. But, you know, this

546
00:35:04,396 --> 00:35:08,232
is kind of where people would come in and, like, help her, and she was

547
00:35:08,329 --> 00:35:12,020
becoming way more observant and strategic as

548
00:35:12,020 --> 00:35:15,695
she got through this challenge. And I think it fucked up Amaretto.

549
00:35:15,954 --> 00:35:18,621
When, um, she was able to complete it.

550
00:35:19,737 --> 00:35:23,472
Yeah. Well, how do you, how do you

551
00:35:23,472 --> 00:35:25,894
think she was able to complete it if she couldn't read?

552
00:35:28,176 --> 00:35:31,052
I think she was taking cues from like Lucian,

553
00:35:32,354 --> 00:35:36,194
um, as like she would like try and

554
00:35:36,210 --> 00:35:39,729
figure out what to try and read what was on the screen. Yeah. He's raising

555
00:35:39,729 --> 00:35:43,500
her arm. Yes, Nacho. go before you fall out of your chair?

556
00:35:45,370 --> 00:35:48,766
I think it was because she was using the hand with the mark. I think

557
00:35:48,766 --> 00:35:52,453
it was Rhysand who was using

558
00:35:52,566 --> 00:35:56,372
the mark to create pain at the ones that— at the

559
00:35:56,535 --> 00:36:00,305
different levers that were wrong. Because she

560
00:36:00,385 --> 00:36:04,004
tried, she tried the, the— she put her

561
00:36:04,004 --> 00:36:06,932
hand close to one of them and it was, uh,

562
00:36:08,286 --> 00:36:12,012
Uncomfortable, and then she put it next to uncomfortable. And then however

563
00:36:12,012 --> 00:36:15,675
it went down, like the one that was the right one,

564
00:36:15,949 --> 00:36:19,676
it was fine. And I think that he used the mark, the connection that he

565
00:36:19,676 --> 00:36:23,468
made with the mark to give her pain to say,

566
00:36:23,484 --> 00:36:26,760
no, this is not the right one. But I also think that this was the

567
00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:30,555
hardest and cruelest challenge for Farrah because

568
00:36:30,588 --> 00:36:34,128
it targeted the one thing that she was already deeply ashamed of.

569
00:36:34,572 --> 00:36:38,070
Yeah. And the fact is that she didn't know how to read. Yes. 1

570
00:36:38,166 --> 00:36:42,000
million percent. Yeah. Her feelings. How motherfucking fucked up was

571
00:36:42,032 --> 00:36:45,161
that? Her feelings of inadequacy were like, oh,

572
00:36:46,027 --> 00:36:49,509
heartbreaking. Yeah. I felt for her in that moment. Oh yeah.

573
00:36:50,279 --> 00:36:54,129
I will say like after that, that second challenge and

574
00:36:54,226 --> 00:36:57,916
before the third challenge is when she gets that tiny

575
00:36:57,916 --> 00:37:01,655
bit of time with, uh, Tamlin. It was kind of hot. It was

576
00:37:01,751 --> 00:37:05,235
kind of hot. Still think, you know, he's such a

577
00:37:05,299 --> 00:37:08,494
fucking coward though. He is. What a coward. What a pussy.

578
00:37:08,976 --> 00:37:12,749
What a fucking pussy. He's nasty. Yeah. The only time he fucking connects

579
00:37:12,749 --> 00:37:16,040
with her or like acknowledges her presence is when he wants to fuck her in

580
00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:19,524
like the back room of his party. Yep. Yeah.

581
00:37:20,953 --> 00:37:24,662
But piece of shit. Hadn't she already had some more of that fucked up

582
00:37:24,710 --> 00:37:28,420
like fairy wine too? Yes. And you had said something earlier where it was like

583
00:37:28,420 --> 00:37:31,408
he was like date rape drugging her recently. Yeah, it was like she was— Roofing.

584
00:37:31,810 --> 00:37:35,248
Roofing her. Yeah. Um, question for you.

585
00:37:35,650 --> 00:37:38,912
Yes. He would have her body painted

586
00:37:39,426 --> 00:37:43,185
so he knew where he touched. Yes. And when she

587
00:37:43,202 --> 00:37:46,977
would wake up from those like roofied moments, she could see where he

588
00:37:46,977 --> 00:37:50,480
touched. Yeah. And it was always in innocuous

589
00:37:50,592 --> 00:37:54,432
places. It wasn't— Like her hips. It wasn't. Yeah, it

590
00:37:54,432 --> 00:37:58,080
wasn't her titties or her ass. Yeah. Yeah. It was always in like

591
00:37:58,771 --> 00:38:02,033
reasonably respectful considering the circumstances places.

592
00:38:02,483 --> 00:38:06,178
Yeah. So while she may have been dancing on his lap and he's playing that

593
00:38:06,178 --> 00:38:09,954
part of like, this is just a, just a whore, right? Like,

594
00:38:10,099 --> 00:38:13,730
like he had no feelings for her. She always knew where he touched her.

595
00:38:15,176 --> 00:38:18,181
Yeah. Because she could see it. That's my theory anyways. Yeah. Yeah. It was more

596
00:38:18,229 --> 00:38:21,731
of a. She's more of a, more of a plaything

597
00:38:22,639 --> 00:38:26,421
than, yeah, than a lover or, you know. And I think he

598
00:38:26,421 --> 00:38:30,163
did that. Okay. This is foreshadowing,

599
00:38:30,195 --> 00:38:33,823
but I think he did that for her own peace of mind. I do too.

600
00:38:35,840 --> 00:38:39,513
I do too. But we can't say that because she can't know that. I,

601
00:38:39,739 --> 00:38:43,495
I, I, I know nothing. 100%. I do. I,

602
00:38:43,692 --> 00:38:47,437
I think that paint was more for her than it was for him to

603
00:38:47,437 --> 00:38:50,388
know where anybody touched her. And the reason the paint comes up is cuz in

604
00:38:50,388 --> 00:38:54,238
the hot scene where Tamlin is like basically getting ready to fuck her against

605
00:38:54,238 --> 00:38:57,975
a wall, he smears paint all over her. Yeah. And then,

606
00:38:58,248 --> 00:39:01,696
and then what has to happen? Rhysand has to come in and

607
00:39:01,809 --> 00:39:05,177
smear the paint. Looks like he's smearing the paint. And cleans

608
00:39:05,241 --> 00:39:09,027
Tamlin, cleans the paint off of Tamlin. Yep. So

609
00:39:09,091 --> 00:39:11,577
he doesn't get in trouble. Tells Tamlin, you better get the fuck outta here now.

610
00:39:11,641 --> 00:39:15,204
You got like 0.2 seconds to like Balance buddy. Yep.

611
00:39:15,771 --> 00:39:18,218
And then he just goes to town with Feyre. Yeah.

612
00:39:21,539 --> 00:39:25,050
Which also like foreshadowing for like 3 books in a row, but

613
00:39:26,225 --> 00:39:29,671
we're coming back to this in like 45

614
00:39:29,671 --> 00:39:33,351
episodes. Lucien survives yet

615
00:39:33,351 --> 00:39:37,164
again. God bless his heart. Um, fucking Tamlin still

616
00:39:37,180 --> 00:39:40,444
didn't help. Piece of shit. They go to an afterparty.

617
00:39:41,117 --> 00:39:44,775
Tamlin tries to fuck Feyre. Rhysand saves them, covers

618
00:39:44,791 --> 00:39:48,610
their shit. Yeah. Part of that scene where he is like kissing up on

619
00:39:48,658 --> 00:39:52,460
her and stuff, I do wonder, was it really to make it look like that?

620
00:39:52,652 --> 00:39:55,235
Or I think it kind of, or I think it kind of pissed him off.

621
00:39:55,861 --> 00:39:59,711
Oh yeah. Oh, definitely. Oh, definitely. So I think

622
00:39:59,711 --> 00:40:03,241
he was like, oh, I'm gonna have fun in this moment. I'm gonna still be

623
00:40:03,241 --> 00:40:06,993
respectful. Okay. I am here

624
00:40:07,122 --> 00:40:10,958
for he did it and he was

625
00:40:11,136 --> 00:40:14,907
pissed about it because he didn't get to

626
00:40:14,939 --> 00:40:18,053
be the first one. He didn't get like, he's having

627
00:40:18,730 --> 00:40:22,570
to cover fucking Tamlin, that piece of shit. Yeah.

628
00:40:23,392 --> 00:40:26,454
Because, and he doesn't get to do it the way he wants to do it.

629
00:40:26,776 --> 00:40:29,561
No. He doesn't get to touch her the way he wants to touch her

630
00:40:30,398 --> 00:40:34,116
because he's gotta cover Tamlin's fucking dirtbag tracks. But also, but also

631
00:40:34,116 --> 00:40:37,689
he knows she enjoyed it. That's what she

632
00:40:37,818 --> 00:40:41,381
wants. Yeah, yeah, I know, I know. And, and he doesn't get to be

633
00:40:41,413 --> 00:40:45,186
kissing her when he wants to and how he wants to. And

634
00:40:45,603 --> 00:40:49,166
she's not looking at him in the way that

635
00:40:49,215 --> 00:40:52,714
she's looking at Tamlin. Yes. It's too much foreshadowing.

636
00:40:53,211 --> 00:40:56,085
Too much. Yep. Yep. So people are trying to help her through this

637
00:40:56,743 --> 00:41:00,547
outside of Tamlin. Yeah. Outside

638
00:41:00,547 --> 00:41:04,275
of Tamlin. Fuck that guy. Because like everybody hates Amaretto. Even

639
00:41:04,389 --> 00:41:08,195
Lucien's mom hates Amaretto. Amaretto's

640
00:41:08,195 --> 00:41:11,269
like the dictator. And like how all the other,

641
00:41:14,237 --> 00:41:17,592
um, people from the high courts were all in this

642
00:41:17,786 --> 00:41:21,586
underground mountain cave. Yeah, prisoners basically. Bullshit. Like,

643
00:41:21,667 --> 00:41:25,210
uh, y'all are my slave camp. But I, that's like,

644
00:41:25,436 --> 00:41:29,124
that like made me think about like, okay, she's not in this on her

645
00:41:29,173 --> 00:41:32,725
own. People are trying to help her, blah, blah, blah. Um,

646
00:41:33,206 --> 00:41:36,466
but then we get to the fucking third challenge and

647
00:41:37,927 --> 00:41:41,026
girl, okay, listen, it kind of broke my heart,

648
00:41:41,556 --> 00:41:45,329
bitches. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. It broke my heart and

649
00:41:45,329 --> 00:41:49,167
then it, I also like cheered. So yeah, cuz I'm a

650
00:41:49,167 --> 00:41:52,972
little fucked up that way. It was psychological torture. Yeah.

651
00:41:53,197 --> 00:41:56,874
And that, I think that's worse than sometimes worse than physical

652
00:41:56,874 --> 00:42:00,330
torture. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. It's equally

653
00:42:03,099 --> 00:42:06,850
detrimental. You, yeah. They're both

654
00:42:06,882 --> 00:42:09,961
terrible. You can't, I don't think you can say one is worse than the other.

655
00:42:10,090 --> 00:42:12,882
I don't know. I don't know. Maybe you can. Yeah. I think it's just a

656
00:42:12,995 --> 00:42:16,836
different pain. Yeah. It's different. I, I, and then like that

657
00:42:16,869 --> 00:42:20,711
third challenge is like, there's like these 3

658
00:42:21,001 --> 00:42:23,992
hooded people. And

659
00:42:24,488 --> 00:42:27,726
Amaretto's like, you have to kill them. Mm-hmm.

660
00:42:28,833 --> 00:42:32,632
And so she, but, but like, she can't see who it is until she gets

661
00:42:32,664 --> 00:42:36,366
ready to like reach for the knife. And so like

662
00:42:36,511 --> 00:42:40,230
the first fairy is like, he's male,

663
00:42:40,374 --> 00:42:44,189
right? And she doesn't wanna kill him. Young.

664
00:42:44,301 --> 00:42:48,052
Young. But she believes that completing that challenge will free Tamlin and

665
00:42:48,212 --> 00:42:51,756
everyone trapped under that mountain. And so she

666
00:42:51,756 --> 00:42:54,611
stabs him. One for many. One for many.

667
00:42:56,071 --> 00:42:59,664
And then like the second fairy, right? This one is,

668
00:42:59,937 --> 00:43:03,434
I believe it's a woman, right? And

669
00:43:04,092 --> 00:43:07,894
it really tugs at her heartstrings of having to, to

670
00:43:07,942 --> 00:43:11,326
stab this woman because she wanted to know more about her. Like, what did she

671
00:43:11,326 --> 00:43:14,952
do wrong? She stabs him. And then

672
00:43:15,240 --> 00:43:18,277
you get to the third hooded person. hooded thing.

673
00:43:19,663 --> 00:43:22,048
They take the hood off and it's Tamlin.

674
00:43:23,790 --> 00:43:27,232
And like, that's when like I had to go back and

675
00:43:27,280 --> 00:43:31,060
read like, um, back another part of the

676
00:43:31,060 --> 00:43:34,662
book about how Tamlin's heart was

677
00:43:34,759 --> 00:43:38,509
made of stone. Like, and then I remembered like if she

678
00:43:38,573 --> 00:43:40,109
stabs him, he's not gonna fucking die.

679
00:43:42,592 --> 00:43:46,060
Yeah, there's a lot of layers to that scene. To that challenge. Yeah. There's a

680
00:43:46,349 --> 00:43:50,084
lot happening cuz that's the main thing. That's the 3 people she has to kill.

681
00:43:50,292 --> 00:43:54,140
Rhysand meets with her and tells her tomorrow's the final challenge. And

682
00:43:54,140 --> 00:43:57,843
he, he basically tells her and kind of confesses a bit. It

683
00:43:57,843 --> 00:44:01,594
means more than just her rescuing her love. And Rhysand

684
00:44:01,594 --> 00:44:05,426
kind of reveals the cards that he's been holding, which is, you know,

685
00:44:05,538 --> 00:44:06,131
essentially
