1
00:00:01,592 --> 00:00:05,299
We survived A Court of Mist and Fury, but apparently we weren't done

2
00:00:05,332 --> 00:00:08,900
suffering. Get ready for part 1 of our

3
00:00:08,900 --> 00:00:12,392
coverage of A Court of Wings and Ruin. Buckle up because the

4
00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:13,840
next chapter starts now.

5
00:00:16,800 --> 00:00:19,972
Welcome to Paperback Confessions. Previously,

6
00:00:21,371 --> 00:00:25,002
Feyre was traumatized, starving, miserable, and about to marry Tamlin because

7
00:00:25,002 --> 00:00:28,498
apparently nobody in the Prythian believes in therapy or calling off a wedding.

8
00:00:29,655 --> 00:00:33,076
Then Rhysand crashes the wedding, drags her to the Night Court, and suddenly

9
00:00:33,109 --> 00:00:36,803
Feyre had Velaris, a found family, a personality, and some

10
00:00:36,803 --> 00:00:40,465
actual friends. She trained, she healed, she discovered her powers,

11
00:00:41,060 --> 00:00:43,838
she learned to read, she flew, and she flirted.

12
00:00:44,995 --> 00:00:48,738
We got to the Summer Court and the Book of Breathings, Mortal Queens, a Bone

13
00:00:48,770 --> 00:00:52,448
Carver, the Weaver, the Court of Nightmares. Basically,

14
00:00:52,464 --> 00:00:54,810
Feyre collected side quests like They were Pokémon.

15
00:00:56,890 --> 00:00:59,678
That is epic!

16
00:01:01,145 --> 00:01:04,952
The war is coming. The cauldron is a problem. Nesta and Elain get made. Lucien

17
00:01:05,147 --> 00:01:08,640
gets a mate. Feyre gets a mate. Spoiler, it's Rhysand.

18
00:01:09,093 --> 00:01:12,867
Then Hybern attacks. Tamlin makes a deal with an enemy, and Feyre does what

19
00:01:12,867 --> 00:01:16,704
Feyre does best. She hunts. She goes back to the Spring

20
00:01:16,737 --> 00:01:20,438
Court pretending to be the broken little bride that Tamlin thought he rescued. Shh,

21
00:01:21,528 --> 00:01:24,911
she's actually the High Lady of the Night Court who is undercover,

22
00:01:25,472 --> 00:01:29,287
and she's bringing the chaos with her this time. So buckle up, confessors.

23
00:01:29,704 --> 00:01:33,455
The sisters are made, the cauldron is fucking pissed, the war is

24
00:01:33,551 --> 00:01:37,318
coming, and Feyre has officially entered her fuck around and find out era.

25
00:01:37,494 --> 00:01:41,069
Yeah. Welcome to A Court of Wings and Ruin.

26
00:02:07,408 --> 00:02:10,828
I will have to say, when I first read this

27
00:02:10,860 --> 00:02:14,539
series after— or the way that book 2 ends where

28
00:02:14,571 --> 00:02:15,813
she is

29
00:02:18,415 --> 00:02:21,915
Pretending that their bond has been broken and she is going

30
00:02:22,027 --> 00:02:25,480
back with Tamlin. I was pissed. I was like, what the

31
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:29,108
fuck? Here we go again. I have to read

32
00:02:29,108 --> 00:02:32,673
about her. Maybe I thought she would fall back in love with Tamlin. I did.

33
00:02:32,850 --> 00:02:36,687
I was like, what the fuck? What the fuck? But I was pleased

34
00:02:38,148 --> 00:02:41,183
with how the book starts because,

35
00:02:41,954 --> 00:02:45,197
side note, This book has

36
00:02:46,594 --> 00:02:49,998
a prologue. And of the whole

37
00:02:50,110 --> 00:02:53,819
series, I think this is the first book where there's kind of

38
00:02:53,819 --> 00:02:57,641
a dual POV. This book starts with Rhysand remembering

39
00:02:58,154 --> 00:03:01,992
a war. And so you're in Rhysand's head, like you're hearing his thoughts,

40
00:03:02,008 --> 00:03:05,781
you're seeing what he sees. He's basically on this field.

41
00:03:05,861 --> 00:03:07,981
And I, for a second, thought, oh my God, is this whole book going to

42
00:03:08,029 --> 00:03:11,560
be in Rhysand's POV because Feyre is not there now. Like, are we only gonna

43
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:15,020
hear such an asshole? I think I just scrolled right

44
00:03:15,020 --> 00:03:18,520
past the fucking prologue. I don't know that I've ever read this fucking prologue.

45
00:03:20,540 --> 00:03:24,260
Whoopsie. You know, I love your honesty though. Yeah, fuck

46
00:03:24,260 --> 00:03:27,900
it. Like, it's fine. Yeah, I don't— I only— it's a fucking prologue.

47
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:32,040
I'm not— I'm here for the story. I'm not here for the previous. It's fine.

48
00:03:32,170 --> 00:03:35,900
Sorry, I got excited though. I was like, oh shit, are we gonna

49
00:03:35,900 --> 00:03:39,510
hear Should we tell them about this? Yeah. He's, he's

50
00:03:39,526 --> 00:03:43,003
basically on a battlefield and this is, you know, sometime in the past. It's not

51
00:03:43,003 --> 00:03:45,967
really clear to me, at least like timeline-wise, where,

52
00:03:47,041 --> 00:03:50,823
how long ago it was. Um, but it's obviously before he meets Feyre. I

53
00:03:50,823 --> 00:03:54,572
think it's before the wall is up and he is on this

54
00:03:54,588 --> 00:03:58,145
battlefield and he is searching amongst this,

55
00:03:59,219 --> 00:04:02,744
all these rotting corpses or dying people. And he is looking for

56
00:04:02,744 --> 00:04:06,591
Illyrian. warrior wings, and anytime he sees a soldier

57
00:04:06,607 --> 00:04:09,349
who has fallen and it's Illyrian, he pulls it— like, he rolls them over to

58
00:04:09,349 --> 00:04:13,116
see, is it Cassian or is it Azriel? So— Oh, I

59
00:04:13,180 --> 00:04:16,931
do have a memory of that. Okay, keep going. Yeah, so it's like

60
00:04:16,931 --> 00:04:20,186
just his thoughts of like what it's like to have fought this

61
00:04:20,875 --> 00:04:24,722
fight. How long were they fighting for? Where are his brothers? And it's just

62
00:04:24,722 --> 00:04:27,848
him searching, and then that's kind of it. You get like the sneak peek into

63
00:04:28,554 --> 00:04:32,337
Rhysand's brain. And I loved it. So that's how this

64
00:04:32,337 --> 00:04:36,170
book starts. I was super excited. Um, and then we pick up with

65
00:04:36,186 --> 00:04:39,968
Feyre. So Feyre is

66
00:04:40,081 --> 00:04:43,419
back at the Spring Court and

67
00:04:43,954 --> 00:04:47,372
she almost immediately sets the tone of like, this is all a lie.

68
00:04:48,016 --> 00:04:51,719
Yeah. So she's painting in the Spring Court and she's

69
00:04:51,719 --> 00:04:54,874
pretending to be the Feyre Tamlin knows. And she's

70
00:04:55,325 --> 00:04:58,867
painting these beautiful photos with like flowers and sunshine. Oh my God. Can I tell

71
00:04:58,867 --> 00:05:02,652
you, I imagine that she's painting like Crayola

72
00:05:02,652 --> 00:05:06,262
yellow sun with like a circle and then the lines, right?

73
00:05:06,392 --> 00:05:07,498
And then the stick figures.

74
00:05:10,517 --> 00:05:13,228
Like you'd see something out of a kindergarten or first grade

75
00:05:13,260 --> 00:05:17,052
classroom. When she was describing it, that's

76
00:05:17,052 --> 00:05:19,263
what I was imagining. I was like, bitch, you trippin'.

77
00:05:22,183 --> 00:05:25,758
So yeah, she's painting this shit. She knows it's a lie, but she's

78
00:05:25,921 --> 00:05:29,338
fitting this Look, right? She needs to be this

79
00:05:29,450 --> 00:05:33,240
character who is so grateful that Tamlin has rescued her

80
00:05:33,384 --> 00:05:37,077
because Rhysand is just a nightmare and she needed this and he's just a great

81
00:05:37,077 --> 00:05:40,626
High Lord. Um, but internally you

82
00:05:40,754 --> 00:05:43,709
hear her thoughts of how exactly she's planning on

83
00:05:44,929 --> 00:05:48,718
wrecking this guy's whole entire court. She's gonna destroy him from the

84
00:05:48,718 --> 00:05:52,106
inside out. And I loved that shit.

85
00:05:53,285 --> 00:05:56,816
Because he was an asshole. He like sold them all out.

86
00:05:57,836 --> 00:06:01,153
Like, what? Who the fuck does that? Oh, I'm sorry.

87
00:06:01,201 --> 00:06:04,461
Tamlin. Like a jealous motherfucker,

88
00:06:05,655 --> 00:06:08,576
you know, jealous and controlling. Like,

89
00:06:09,834 --> 00:06:13,666
you're an asshole. Like, it kind of blows my

90
00:06:13,666 --> 00:06:15,300
mind that he just believes her, right?

91
00:06:17,386 --> 00:06:20,980
Yeah, after spending the whole first book not believing a

92
00:06:21,012 --> 00:06:24,811
word she says or tells him or giving any of the words that she

93
00:06:25,036 --> 00:06:28,694
gives him any sort of acknowledgement or

94
00:06:28,823 --> 00:06:29,387
respect.

95
00:06:33,280 --> 00:06:36,966
Why all of a sudden is he now like, mm-hmm?

96
00:06:37,677 --> 00:06:41,396
Yeah. Yeah. He just believes her. He's like, of course. Of course she would want

97
00:06:41,396 --> 00:06:43,842
to be back. Of course everything she said is true. How could it not be?

98
00:06:43,971 --> 00:06:47,269
I'm amazing. I'm wonderful. I'm Tamlin. But she's there as a spy.

99
00:06:47,561 --> 00:06:50,988
That's her goal is to literally destroy his court from the inside out, but also

100
00:06:51,322 --> 00:06:55,023
gather intel to communicate with Rhysand. That is like a fun

101
00:06:56,192 --> 00:06:59,942
little thing, is that her and Rhysand can still communicate, but she does

102
00:07:00,054 --> 00:07:03,306
it sparingly because she doesn't want

103
00:07:04,043 --> 00:07:07,889
anybody to pick up on the fact that they're still very much bonded. And

104
00:07:07,969 --> 00:07:11,606
they're glamoured. Like, she glamours— she like maintains a glamour

105
00:07:11,814 --> 00:07:15,323
on her tattooed hand for like the first however many

106
00:07:15,339 --> 00:07:19,008
chapters. Yeah, remember she had the 2 tattoos,

107
00:07:19,104 --> 00:07:22,536
right? She had the bonded one and the married one. And so

108
00:07:22,729 --> 00:07:26,290
when she had to go back to Spring Court, she took off the

109
00:07:26,338 --> 00:07:29,851
branded— the bonded one, but kept the

110
00:07:29,851 --> 00:07:33,557
marriage one. And I thought that was really cool. Mm-hmm. Yeah.

111
00:07:33,637 --> 00:07:36,573
Because she couldn't get rid of the marriage one. She just glamours it so nobody

112
00:07:36,605 --> 00:07:40,391
knows. Yeah. I'm also curious what it looks like. Like, how would

113
00:07:40,391 --> 00:07:44,209
everybody know that that meant she was married? But it's just like

114
00:07:44,289 --> 00:07:47,529
Rhysand's wife or something.

115
00:07:47,995 --> 00:07:50,257
Hi, lady. Of the Night Court.

116
00:07:53,990 --> 00:07:57,292
Um, in glitter. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, how would they know?

117
00:07:57,858 --> 00:08:01,274
Giant scrolling font. It's fine. I

118
00:08:01,403 --> 00:08:04,970
think Lucien, at least my opinion is, he kind of knows something's up,

119
00:08:05,035 --> 00:08:08,735
you know? Oh yeah. Maybe it's his fun little eyeball. I don't

120
00:08:08,751 --> 00:08:11,845
know. He's like, he's kind of like, huh, sure,

121
00:08:12,685 --> 00:08:16,338
sure, you're back. Got it. But I also think he's like,

122
00:08:16,403 --> 00:08:20,218
fuck, I am mated to your sister. So like, whatever, whatever you need me

123
00:08:20,218 --> 00:08:24,006
to do, I'm here. Also, I think he just feels guilty for being a

124
00:08:24,264 --> 00:08:27,767
dick in the first place and only mindlessly following

125
00:08:28,908 --> 00:08:32,643
asshole. You think so? Yeah. Yeah. Oh yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I

126
00:08:32,708 --> 00:08:35,464
think it's a culmination. I think Lucien is so

127
00:08:36,416 --> 00:08:40,210
like— so my

128
00:08:40,275 --> 00:08:43,844
grandpa said one of his favorite things was, if you don't stand for

129
00:08:43,844 --> 00:08:46,936
something, you'll fall for anything. And so

130
00:08:49,570 --> 00:08:52,902
I think about that all the time when I'm thinking about Lucien. He just

131
00:08:52,902 --> 00:08:56,591
doesn't— when he stands, he stands for the wrong

132
00:08:56,704 --> 00:09:00,301
reasons. And all the rest of the

133
00:09:00,301 --> 00:09:04,138
time, he's just like, meh. But I mean—

134
00:09:04,670 --> 00:09:07,717
I think a little bit of that comes from the way that he grew up

135
00:09:07,959 --> 00:09:11,548
and his asshole dad and brothers and the shit that's happened to him.

136
00:09:12,369 --> 00:09:16,188
I feel like in some parts of the book, he doesn't He has a

137
00:09:16,188 --> 00:09:19,544
hard time finding his voice because he's afraid of the repercussions.

138
00:09:20,058 --> 00:09:23,815
I think in this book it becomes almost— you can almost

139
00:09:23,815 --> 00:09:27,653
feel how he's stuck between a rock and a hard place on it. I feel

140
00:09:27,653 --> 00:09:30,944
like he's torn between discovering

141
00:09:31,362 --> 00:09:34,942
himself differently or being like Tamlin's little bitch still. Like, I think he's still

142
00:09:34,974 --> 00:09:38,748
like, oh, my role here is at the Spring Court, but also I kind

143
00:09:38,748 --> 00:09:41,926
of have this mate in the Night Court. Like, I Like, where does he go?

144
00:09:42,176 --> 00:09:45,714
You know, he doesn't know what to do. Probably,

145
00:09:45,991 --> 00:09:47,977
uh, sick of catching strays too.

146
00:09:52,663 --> 00:09:55,861
I'm just saying, like, he goes through it

147
00:09:56,458 --> 00:09:59,140
and then, and then, oh my God, he just—

148
00:10:01,627 --> 00:10:05,425
I think he has more emotional, like, shit

149
00:10:05,506 --> 00:10:08,510
in this book than physical, where the last book that dude was getting his ass

150
00:10:08,510 --> 00:10:12,158
whooped every Second. Yeah. I think that Feyre,

151
00:10:12,223 --> 00:10:16,060
like, this was like, she loves this, right? Because she's fucking with

152
00:10:16,076 --> 00:10:19,640
Tamlin and fucking with him hard. Oh, what I,

153
00:10:19,929 --> 00:10:22,771
what I did think was a little bit different this time is Tamlin is kind

154
00:10:22,803 --> 00:10:26,255
of letting her in on more things, you know, like he's not

155
00:10:26,914 --> 00:10:30,285
locking her in the house this time. She's learning how to

156
00:10:30,301 --> 00:10:34,058
attack Tamlin using Lucien to get sort of Tamlin's

157
00:10:34,058 --> 00:10:37,800
jealousy to make him question. But she also starts to learn that

158
00:10:38,072 --> 00:10:41,605
They are, um, there are other players coming in that are

159
00:10:41,605 --> 00:10:45,137
helping Tamlin sort of prepare for this war. They're trying to figure out where are

160
00:10:45,137 --> 00:10:48,830
their weak spots in the Wall. So Feyre is able to sort of go

161
00:10:49,392 --> 00:10:53,085
with Tamlin and his army. So she's questioning everybody like, hey,

162
00:10:53,101 --> 00:10:56,281
what's going on? What are you guys doing? And they're just feeding her info because

163
00:10:56,281 --> 00:11:00,006
she's— Playing a dumb woman. Uh-huh. Exactly.

164
00:11:00,054 --> 00:11:02,976
Exactly. She's feeding into

165
00:11:04,565 --> 00:11:07,420
Their total paradigm of

166
00:11:08,239 --> 00:11:11,977
what they believe a woman should be. Hmm.

167
00:11:12,987 --> 00:11:16,757
And they, like, surprisingly, just as luck would have it, give her more information

168
00:11:16,757 --> 00:11:20,030
because of that. Yeah. And so she's like, oh, okay, cool.

169
00:11:20,912 --> 00:11:23,543
Yeah. Don't underestimate the uterus, man.

170
00:11:25,003 --> 00:11:28,789
Just don't. Mm-hmm. She's communicating it to Rhysand, so he

171
00:11:28,789 --> 00:11:32,364
kind of knows what One of my favorite scenes

172
00:11:32,620 --> 00:11:36,467
is she figures out that Ianthe, the predator,

173
00:11:36,483 --> 00:11:39,736
dumb bitch, is— She's such a fucking bitch.

174
00:11:40,553 --> 00:11:43,662
Is full of shit. A lot of what Ianthe does or pretends to be is

175
00:11:43,694 --> 00:11:47,460
just trash. So one of my favorite scenes when she comes back to the

176
00:11:47,460 --> 00:11:51,210
Spring Court— Flex on the

177
00:11:51,210 --> 00:11:54,592
spot. Feyre knows exactly where Ianthe's gonna wanna

178
00:11:54,592 --> 00:11:57,685
stand so that the sun comes behind her and looks like she's

179
00:11:58,518 --> 00:12:02,092
putting this light out and Feyre just fucking Real casually moves

180
00:12:02,349 --> 00:12:06,100
the marker a little bit. It was so epic.

181
00:12:06,276 --> 00:12:09,450
I was like, yes, you crazy bitch, get it, girl,

182
00:12:09,578 --> 00:12:13,121
because you need to teach this little

183
00:12:13,329 --> 00:12:17,016
angel wannabe a lesson. And all she

184
00:12:17,016 --> 00:12:20,335
does, Farrah just teaches lesson after lesson after lesson to Ianthe.

185
00:12:21,361 --> 00:12:24,855
And it makes me so happy. In her moving the

186
00:12:24,887 --> 00:12:28,366
marker, Ianthe is off center a little bit. So now

187
00:12:28,574 --> 00:12:32,181
instead of the sun shining on Ianthe, making it look like she has this glow,

188
00:12:32,470 --> 00:12:35,997
Feyre is able to get that glow out of her body.

189
00:12:36,735 --> 00:12:40,519
And of course, all of the soldiers and everybody's like, oh my God,

190
00:12:40,583 --> 00:12:43,180
oh my God, Feyre, what did you do? Yeah, because she like does something too

191
00:12:43,244 --> 00:12:46,884
with her magic where it's like sparkly and extra and whatever.

192
00:12:47,654 --> 00:12:50,508
The whole while being like, oh, me? Oh my gosh, look at this.

193
00:12:51,406 --> 00:12:55,190
Right. Wow, I can glow? No way.

194
00:12:56,168 --> 00:12:59,647
Must be a blessing. Hashtag blessings.

195
00:13:02,019 --> 00:13:05,865
Soldiers are like kneeling down, including Lucien, which Tamlin's like,

196
00:13:05,913 --> 00:13:09,502
what the fuck is going on? Because I, I don't even think Tamlin—

197
00:13:10,159 --> 00:13:14,005
even if that was true, right? Like, even if Feyre was blessed, I don't

198
00:13:14,005 --> 00:13:17,851
think Tamlin liked that. No, of course not. No.

199
00:13:18,027 --> 00:13:21,873
Yeah, because now she's more powerful than he is, and all she

200
00:13:21,873 --> 00:13:24,469
does is goad everyone around him

201
00:13:25,623 --> 00:13:28,907
into believing That he is the asshole.

202
00:13:29,709 --> 00:13:33,506
Oh, that he actually is. Like, are you fucking kidding?

203
00:13:33,570 --> 00:13:36,263
She's she's a fucking genius.

204
00:13:37,577 --> 00:13:41,230
The manipulation that and and the cojones

205
00:13:41,823 --> 00:13:45,412
that it takes to manipulate an entire like

206
00:13:46,550 --> 00:13:50,236
group of humans against one person does it. It can

207
00:13:50,236 --> 00:13:53,793
be quite empowering. However.

208
00:13:54,482 --> 00:13:57,738
She does it with such style and class

209
00:13:58,876 --> 00:14:02,452
that you're just like, I just want to be on this bitch's good side all

210
00:14:02,500 --> 00:14:05,804
the time. I never want to step a toe. Like,

211
00:14:07,071 --> 00:14:10,695
goals in life, right? Like, I do not want to.

212
00:14:11,641 --> 00:14:14,816
It was hot. It was hot. By that little thing, she publicly

213
00:14:14,848 --> 00:14:18,280
humiliates Iyanthe, and like, people

214
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:21,857
question, is Iyanthe actually like holy? Like, is she

215
00:14:21,985 --> 00:14:25,726
blessed? I don't know. Another favorite psychological fucking

216
00:14:25,839 --> 00:14:29,467
torture, uh, that Feyre does is at some point in the

217
00:14:29,467 --> 00:14:33,079
night, um, she's wearing like a little nightgown or whatever.

218
00:14:33,464 --> 00:14:36,162
She says that she's gotta— she's having a nightmare or something,

219
00:14:37,462 --> 00:14:41,074
and then Lucien opens the door to like check on her, and

220
00:14:41,074 --> 00:14:44,638
she's just like, oh, poor me, I'm so sad, can I

221
00:14:44,703 --> 00:14:47,578
come in your room? And then she goes in the room, and then All of

222
00:14:47,578 --> 00:14:51,151
a sudden, fuckwad comes marching into the room and they're like

223
00:14:51,151 --> 00:14:54,708
scantily clad because it's the middle of the fucking night.

224
00:14:55,113 --> 00:14:58,402
He's comforting her and she's just like, oops.

225
00:15:00,508 --> 00:15:03,385
That was like just beautiful, like

226
00:15:03,963 --> 00:15:07,714
beautiful manipulation of a situation. And then what

227
00:15:07,730 --> 00:15:10,987
happens where, what, what is the catalyst for

228
00:15:12,648 --> 00:15:16,228
the guys getting whipped? Oh, that's when

229
00:15:16,421 --> 00:15:20,243
fucking Ianthe— Yep, that dumb bitch. Left the gate open

230
00:15:21,014 --> 00:15:24,660
and blamed it on the guards. They don't know that it's Ianthe though, right? Feyre

231
00:15:24,692 --> 00:15:28,434
or another soldier says it was Ianthe and they don't believe

232
00:15:28,450 --> 00:15:32,288
her. Tamlin doesn't believe that Ianthe would've done it on purpose.

233
00:15:32,866 --> 00:15:36,464
Right. That's another psychological torture, I think. Does that happen

234
00:15:36,576 --> 00:15:40,414
before or after he, Tamlin, explodes and

235
00:15:40,430 --> 00:15:44,239
like, Uh, Feyre gets like a cut on her face or something,

236
00:15:44,337 --> 00:15:47,432
like a piece of splinter wood hits her or something like that. He

237
00:15:47,740 --> 00:15:50,884
allows through her that— uh,

238
00:15:52,492 --> 00:15:56,253
God, the, the like genius

239
00:15:56,510 --> 00:16:00,158
of this woman's brain. She has learned so

240
00:16:00,158 --> 00:16:03,901
many tricks, or maybe she's just finally putting into action the

241
00:16:03,901 --> 00:16:07,723
tricks that she— I don't know what, but goddamn, dude. That whole scene happened

242
00:16:07,723 --> 00:16:11,319
in like chapter 8. Yeah, there was like missing keys. Ayanthi

243
00:16:11,415 --> 00:16:14,885
claims, um, that because of this guard

244
00:16:14,885 --> 00:16:18,723
forgetting to lock this, the naga, whatever the fuck that is, comes and attacks her.

245
00:16:18,804 --> 00:16:21,888
So she's trying to do it for attention, like, oh my gosh, look at me,

246
00:16:22,337 --> 00:16:25,421
because this happens after she's publicly humiliated. So I think she's trying to get the

247
00:16:25,421 --> 00:16:28,987
attention back. Back on her. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Because that

248
00:16:29,083 --> 00:16:32,697
guard gets whipped, it starts to sort of plant this seed that Tamlin would

249
00:16:32,777 --> 00:16:36,501
believe Ayanthi over his own soldiers. I think the soldiers start to like

250
00:16:36,629 --> 00:16:40,077
build a little bit of resentment, like, who is our leader? Yeah. And he

251
00:16:40,077 --> 00:16:43,798
hurt— and when he lost his shit and he hurt her in the office,

252
00:16:43,862 --> 00:16:47,550
that was just one more strike against Tamlin, like, that his

253
00:16:47,615 --> 00:16:51,271
males saw. They were like, what the fuck, dude? And they were there

254
00:16:51,479 --> 00:16:54,847
when he like locked her in the house and she lost her shit. And they

255
00:16:54,847 --> 00:16:58,151
were there when like, you know, all these things happened before.

256
00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:02,611
And she's just— Playing it up.

257
00:17:02,707 --> 00:17:05,261
Now that they have this doubt of like, who are you? Like, you don't have

258
00:17:05,261 --> 00:17:08,955
our back. That's then when the fight happens and Feyre accidentally

259
00:17:09,052 --> 00:17:12,441
gets hit and is bleeding and she's playing into that

260
00:17:12,505 --> 00:17:16,086
battered me like, oh my God, he hit me. And like, so that the guards

261
00:17:16,215 --> 00:17:18,897
see that he's also not loyal to his own

262
00:17:20,054 --> 00:17:23,716
lady, not loyal to his guards, not loyal to his ladies. Everything is

263
00:17:23,812 --> 00:17:27,522
focused on Ianthe and himself. Yeah, well, because he's not only a

264
00:17:27,586 --> 00:17:31,215
shitty partner, he's a shitty leader. This is not the

265
00:17:31,215 --> 00:17:34,925
guy you play follow the leader with, okay? Unless you also

266
00:17:34,925 --> 00:17:38,513
want to be a shitty person. I loved it though, the

267
00:17:38,513 --> 00:17:42,162
psychological torture. Uh-oh. Well,

268
00:17:42,259 --> 00:17:44,895
okay, so you said that he's a shitty leader,

269
00:17:46,052 --> 00:17:49,845
but for a lot

270
00:17:49,845 --> 00:17:53,668
of years they followed him faithfully

271
00:17:53,861 --> 00:17:57,187
and believed in the things that he was doing and supported him.

272
00:17:58,309 --> 00:18:01,058
And for decades, right?

273
00:18:02,328 --> 00:18:06,074
So is he a shitty leader, or

274
00:18:06,589 --> 00:18:08,663
is he just in

275
00:18:10,689 --> 00:18:14,404
need to not be so—

276
00:18:17,300 --> 00:18:20,507
Mm. To not be anything like his father? He's just like

277
00:18:21,090 --> 00:18:24,932
stepping in To all the advice

278
00:18:25,386 --> 00:18:29,083
that Anthony's giving him, thinking that he's doing the right

279
00:18:29,180 --> 00:18:32,969
thing, thinking that he's doing the things. And then, and

280
00:18:32,969 --> 00:18:36,479
then, and then Feyre just comes in and like

281
00:18:36,544 --> 00:18:39,957
chisel and hammer to that one little crack and just

282
00:18:40,329 --> 00:18:44,035
cracks him wide open. And then

283
00:18:44,392 --> 00:18:47,803
all of a sudden he spends like, what, a couple months under the mountain and

284
00:18:47,803 --> 00:18:51,602
now he's crazy? Yeah. I wonder too if part of

285
00:18:51,618 --> 00:18:55,435
that, Nacho, is that before, when, when he was leading his

286
00:18:55,531 --> 00:18:58,562
guards the way he was, because he was sending men over the wall, right, to

287
00:18:58,594 --> 00:19:02,122
basically die for him. Um, yeah, I wonder if they

288
00:19:02,186 --> 00:19:05,874
gave him grace because of that curse. Like, maybe they were like,

289
00:19:05,955 --> 00:19:09,739
well, yeah, let's, let's have his— He's the only real— oh,

290
00:19:09,755 --> 00:19:12,914
so maybe like he's the only way we're gonna get out of this curse, so

291
00:19:12,930 --> 00:19:16,640
we need to like really buckle down. Yeah, maybe. And now they're

292
00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:20,179
like, wait, there is no curse. There's a war coming. We need to band together

293
00:19:20,179 --> 00:19:23,609
more than ever. And you're out here believing

294
00:19:23,867 --> 00:19:26,885
Ayanthe over your own soldiers who

295
00:19:27,611 --> 00:19:29,660
sacrifice themselves time and time again.

296
00:19:31,835 --> 00:19:35,523
And now you're just going to whip us and hurt us because you

297
00:19:35,523 --> 00:19:39,323
believe the words coming out of that twat's mouth. Did you

298
00:19:39,323 --> 00:19:40,515
just call her a twat?

299
00:19:41,503 --> 00:19:45,277
Yeah, these are fun words for me and I

300
00:19:45,277 --> 00:19:48,777
love them. I feel like Feyre comes in

301
00:19:49,210 --> 00:19:53,048
and everything is working, right? Like she's pulling this thread and everything is just

302
00:19:53,048 --> 00:19:56,548
falling apart. The guards resent Tamlin, they resent

303
00:19:56,597 --> 00:20:00,306
Ianthe. Um, Lucien, I think she knows she has him by

304
00:20:00,306 --> 00:20:03,822
the balls, but like— Tamlin's being a dick to him also.

305
00:20:04,850 --> 00:20:08,318
Tamlin's always been a dick. To Lucien. Book

306
00:20:08,318 --> 00:20:11,256
3 is like, fuck you, asshole. It

307
00:20:12,107 --> 00:20:14,837
gets to a point where Feyre feels like she's done her job. She's ready to

308
00:20:14,901 --> 00:20:18,514
go, um, and she packs a bag and she's planning, okay,

309
00:20:18,674 --> 00:20:21,789
tonight's the night, I gotta get out of here. She puts food in her backpack,

310
00:20:21,950 --> 00:20:25,547
she's sneaking around to get out. In doing

311
00:20:25,659 --> 00:20:28,581
so, she hears Lucien, um,

312
00:20:29,737 --> 00:20:33,441
having this verbal argument with Ianthe. Like, don't touch me, get

313
00:20:33,441 --> 00:20:36,660
away from me. She hears Ianthe being a predator, trying to

314
00:20:38,859 --> 00:20:42,484
have her way with Lucien. She puts those, those, those

315
00:20:42,597 --> 00:20:45,998
chains that delete the magic on him.

316
00:20:46,711 --> 00:20:50,258
Yeah. In the tree. Yeah. And she's like, so close to getting out alive.

317
00:20:51,729 --> 00:20:55,146
And this is like one of my favorite scenes in the whole book

318
00:20:55,162 --> 00:20:56,757
because— in the whole series because

319
00:20:59,108 --> 00:21:02,848
Isn't this where she like beats the shit out of her? Well, yeah. I

320
00:21:02,848 --> 00:21:05,610
mean, does she beat the shit out of her or does she make her beat

321
00:21:05,610 --> 00:21:08,468
the shit out of herself? Oh no, Farrah's got

322
00:21:08,580 --> 00:21:12,305
absolute control. No,

323
00:21:12,545 --> 00:21:16,206
no, Farrah is the bee's

324
00:21:16,222 --> 00:21:18,373
knees. She's got control

325
00:21:19,834 --> 00:21:23,671
because she's a De'Mati, right? And so she's

326
00:21:23,671 --> 00:21:27,243
got control, but she just beats the ever-loving shit out of

327
00:21:27,629 --> 00:21:30,802
the hand that touched Rhys and the—

328
00:21:31,156 --> 00:21:34,796
I'm like, get that bitch! And I'm not like—

329
00:21:34,829 --> 00:21:38,664
not in my real life, I'm not like that. But you get me

330
00:21:38,664 --> 00:21:40,646
twisted and fucked up in these books, man.

331
00:21:42,500 --> 00:21:46,338
So true. Like, it's done. I love

332
00:21:46,338 --> 00:21:50,014
that you said the hand that she touched Rhys with too, because remember when we

333
00:21:50,046 --> 00:21:53,705
were recording that book, we were foreshadowing where Rhys

334
00:21:53,883 --> 00:21:57,333
When she tries to touch Rhys, Rhys cripples her hand, breaks her hand or

335
00:21:57,333 --> 00:22:00,992
whatever. And so for Feyre to get inside of Ianthe's

336
00:22:01,008 --> 00:22:04,362
mind and make her beat that same fucking hand to just bits.

337
00:22:04,715 --> 00:22:08,407
Murder that hand. Who do you think you are touching people

338
00:22:08,407 --> 00:22:12,066
like that, you fucking asshole? Yeah, she's like, you're never going to touch anybody

339
00:22:12,082 --> 00:22:15,307
again. It just makes me— I

340
00:22:16,030 --> 00:22:19,865
just keep going back to, I think Tamlin's a giant slut.

341
00:22:23,007 --> 00:22:26,774
Now, here's my problem with that statement is you

342
00:22:26,790 --> 00:22:30,170
wanna be a slut, slut it up, man. You wanna throw your business

343
00:22:30,251 --> 00:22:33,813
everywhere all the time. I'm not here to yuck your yum.

344
00:22:35,350 --> 00:22:39,030
But Tamlin, my problem with this is that

345
00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:43,063
I think he was— I think he and Lucien

346
00:22:43,256 --> 00:22:47,064
were having a romantic relationship. Maybe. above

347
00:22:47,096 --> 00:22:50,092
board, maybe, right? Like, I don't know how that works out.

348
00:22:51,349 --> 00:22:55,134
But I also think that, um, he was sleeping

349
00:22:55,134 --> 00:22:58,420
with Ione, or whatever her fucking name is. Ione. Ione.

350
00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:02,722
Yeah, whatever. Pepperoni. Pepperoni.

351
00:23:03,270 --> 00:23:06,641
He continues to maintain that Farrah is his

352
00:23:06,915 --> 00:23:10,223
person, and yet still, in my

353
00:23:10,223 --> 00:23:13,999
imagination— I don't, I don't know why I, I keep going

354
00:23:14,033 --> 00:23:17,787
back to this, But they've

355
00:23:17,851 --> 00:23:21,127
been sleeping together the whole time, right? Because I, Anthony—

356
00:23:22,132 --> 00:23:25,261
I, Anthony— I, Anthony

357
00:23:26,104 --> 00:23:28,492
Pepperoni is—

358
00:23:32,374 --> 00:23:36,000
that's her MO. And we know that because of— from the other books.

359
00:23:36,259 --> 00:23:39,400
That's her MO. She goes, she sleeps with the High Lord, she gets in good

360
00:23:39,400 --> 00:23:42,881
graces, she manipulates all these situations. And the slut

361
00:23:42,898 --> 00:23:46,611
comment stands because You can't, you can't say

362
00:23:47,222 --> 00:23:50,938
you're this, in my opinion, you can't say

363
00:23:50,938 --> 00:23:54,576
that you're this committed, uh, human or

364
00:23:54,882 --> 00:23:58,633
committed being because they're not human to

365
00:23:58,665 --> 00:24:02,132
one person and then sleep around behind her

366
00:24:02,132 --> 00:24:05,584
back, behind anybody's back with somebody else.

367
00:24:06,427 --> 00:24:10,038
That just makes you trashy. I don't want to yuck anybody's

368
00:24:10,038 --> 00:24:13,787
yum, so fuck it. What would be really interesting? What

369
00:24:13,787 --> 00:24:17,313
would be interesting? In A Court of Thorns and Roses, the very first book where

370
00:24:17,313 --> 00:24:20,984
Tamlin is fucking whomever for that one night so that they have like good

371
00:24:20,984 --> 00:24:24,751
crops, it would've been amazing if that was Ianthe. I, I,

372
00:24:24,911 --> 00:24:27,701
I would put money on it. I would put money on it.

373
00:24:28,759 --> 00:24:32,526
She not only has this lady maim her own hand, she

374
00:24:32,686 --> 00:24:36,437
even goes one step further. You will not get it fixed. And

375
00:24:36,613 --> 00:24:40,397
anytime you think of me, you will have extreme fear. Like,

376
00:24:40,413 --> 00:24:43,844
she's like, I'm fucking you up physically and for the rest of your life, you'll

377
00:24:43,844 --> 00:24:47,388
be emotionally tormented and afraid of the sound of my name.

378
00:24:47,532 --> 00:24:51,061
Like, she's like, this bitch, she fucks her all the way up.

379
00:24:52,087 --> 00:24:55,584
So brilliant. During that scene, Lucien

380
00:24:56,193 --> 00:25:00,026
gets out of it all. I think she undoes it and he notices, oh, you're

381
00:25:00,026 --> 00:25:03,860
leaving. He makes the decision at that point, I'm coming with you. I want

382
00:25:03,860 --> 00:25:06,795
to see my mate. Isn't that also when the two—

383
00:25:07,805 --> 00:25:11,558
The brother and the sister. The twins, who I swear to God were sleeping

384
00:25:11,590 --> 00:25:15,172
together. A million percent. The twins

385
00:25:15,348 --> 00:25:18,915
are the niece and nephew of the King of Hybern who are

386
00:25:19,204 --> 00:25:22,482
at Tamlin's court for a while. They have been slowly

387
00:25:22,594 --> 00:25:25,535
poisoning, uh, Feyre through apples

388
00:25:26,450 --> 00:25:29,840
to weaken her magic and eventually take it away. They knew she was up to

389
00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:33,423
something. They knew she was a Damati. So it is during that scene that she

390
00:25:33,423 --> 00:25:37,134
realizes, oh shit, something is wrong. I don't

391
00:25:37,134 --> 00:25:40,768
have my powers as strong. It's like, ha ha ha!

392
00:25:42,608 --> 00:25:46,265
We've been slowly, you know. Yeah, they tell her everything. Yeah. Oh, they

393
00:25:46,265 --> 00:25:49,476
like lettering. Yeah. Yeah, because they think they're gonna kill her. They're like, yeah, we'll

394
00:25:49,476 --> 00:25:53,059
tell you everything. Fuck it. Um, so she

395
00:25:53,059 --> 00:25:56,800
knows. Okay, he's gonna come with me. We've got to kill

396
00:25:56,816 --> 00:26:00,520
these two fucking people. I have a very limited amount

397
00:26:00,681 --> 00:26:04,288
of power left, and I fucking love that.

398
00:26:04,476 --> 00:26:07,903
scene, or the way it's described in the book, is her winnowing to kill one

399
00:26:07,903 --> 00:26:10,926
of them first to torment the other one. And then

400
00:26:11,848 --> 00:26:14,754
Lucien steps in and kills the other twin. So the two of them end up

401
00:26:14,979 --> 00:26:18,611
killing the niece and nephew of the King of Hybern before they

402
00:26:18,611 --> 00:26:22,226
make their escape out. I was like, look at them

403
00:26:22,226 --> 00:26:23,206
working together.

404
00:26:27,421 --> 00:26:30,995
Friends. Yes. And getting out of Tamlin's

405
00:26:30,995 --> 00:26:34,813
fucking court to just leave the destruction in the wake, right? Like, fuck it. Because

406
00:26:34,813 --> 00:26:37,992
they don't have enough magic to winnow anywhere, they are basically

407
00:26:38,570 --> 00:26:42,167
trotting along by foot, trying to figure out what is the best

408
00:26:42,199 --> 00:26:45,940
path out of this area for their magic to return so that they can

409
00:26:45,972 --> 00:26:49,216
get out and go to the Night Court. They can't go to the Summer Court

410
00:26:49,906 --> 00:26:53,567
because this is where she tells him that she's got a blood ruby

411
00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:57,228
with her name on it. Um, they can't go

412
00:26:57,437 --> 00:27:01,129
to some of the other ones because there's I don't know,

413
00:27:01,225 --> 00:27:04,642
whatever else. And I think this is when we start to learn a little bit

414
00:27:04,754 --> 00:27:08,444
more about Lucien as a character. He shares with her the love of his life

415
00:27:08,444 --> 00:27:12,278
and how she was murdered and ripped away from him. Um, he also shares with

416
00:27:12,278 --> 00:27:14,781
her that he, he knew she was full of shit the whole time. Just stay

417
00:27:14,845 --> 00:27:17,267
out of her way and let her do whatever it was she was gonna do.

418
00:27:17,669 --> 00:27:21,326
And would help out if, if needed. Through all of that, they end up— I

419
00:27:21,423 --> 00:27:25,257
think they have to go through the Autumn Court, don't they? Autumn Court, yep. And,

420
00:27:25,449 --> 00:27:29,294
and he knows path of least resistance because if the brothers get a whiff

421
00:27:29,310 --> 00:27:32,658
that they're there, it's going to be a problem. Um, I think at this

422
00:27:32,851 --> 00:27:36,553
point it will become more of a problem if they

423
00:27:36,553 --> 00:27:40,056
know Feyre has powers. So he's trying really

424
00:27:40,153 --> 00:27:43,929
hard to go this back alley way, but it doesn't really work.

425
00:27:44,026 --> 00:27:47,810
Like, the brothers end up finding Feyre and Lucien, and now yet again

426
00:27:47,925 --> 00:27:51,677
they have to fight, and still with limited magic. Because

427
00:27:51,677 --> 00:27:54,527
so they get away in the Autumn Court and then they go to

428
00:27:55,488 --> 00:27:59,100
The Winter Court, and then they're traveling in the Winter

429
00:27:59,100 --> 00:28:02,836
Court, and then they come across this— they get through

430
00:28:02,950 --> 00:28:05,953
the mountains, and then they come to this frozen lake,

431
00:28:07,990 --> 00:28:11,162
and they're like, oh my God, we gotta go, we gotta go, we gotta go!

432
00:28:11,569 --> 00:28:14,905
And then all of a sudden, uh,

433
00:28:15,616 --> 00:28:18,734
you could talk about this one because I can't talk about this one because I

434
00:28:18,782 --> 00:28:22,519
just get so excited. Really? Okay. Yeah. They're on this

435
00:28:22,696 --> 00:28:26,334
lake. Uh, the brothers are attacking. Um, this is when

436
00:28:26,527 --> 00:28:30,229
Feyre for the first time reveals to everybody

437
00:28:30,229 --> 00:28:33,515
that she is the High Lady of the Night Court.

438
00:28:34,076 --> 00:28:37,731
And I think at that moment they're like, ah, fuck. Because it means something

439
00:28:37,843 --> 00:28:41,498
like, oh shit, this is Rhysand's wife. It's not just Feyre with these powers.

440
00:28:42,011 --> 00:28:45,505
They know that there's going to be trouble ahead. And that is

441
00:28:45,618 --> 00:28:49,207
when, during this whole thing, Cassian and

442
00:28:49,352 --> 00:28:52,794
Azriel making a penis. Giant

443
00:28:53,051 --> 00:28:56,268
red and blue lights of sexiness just—

444
00:28:56,268 --> 00:28:59,906
Yeah. Right into the ice and ice

445
00:28:59,906 --> 00:29:03,464
splatters everywhere and blah. And you're just like, oh.

446
00:29:04,978 --> 00:29:08,149
Yeah. I have like in my, in my mind, I see

447
00:29:08,279 --> 00:29:12,005
Cassian, glorious, fucking tall, muscular, dark skin, like

448
00:29:12,021 --> 00:29:15,824
long hair, fucking just like Bam! Fisting in with his wings all

449
00:29:16,017 --> 00:29:19,749
out, and he's like, here, motherfuckers. You know what I'm saying? Like, that's what

450
00:29:19,878 --> 00:29:22,773
I see. I'm reading this book and that is just like not the word to

451
00:29:22,854 --> 00:29:25,669
use right there. What? Fisting?

452
00:29:27,968 --> 00:29:31,546
Fisting in. We're fine. Sorry.

453
00:29:39,326 --> 00:29:42,823
It immediately ripped me out of this book and went straight into the one that

454
00:29:42,823 --> 00:29:46,401
I'm reading, and I'm like, oh, oh, the monster, the monster spot one.

455
00:29:47,239 --> 00:29:50,231
That one too. Yeah, yeah, girl, I can't wait.

456
00:29:51,282 --> 00:29:54,324
Yeah, and they're pissed. They're here to rescue Feyre because

457
00:29:55,020 --> 00:29:57,155
it's Feyre, but it's their High Lady.

458
00:29:58,869 --> 00:30:02,685
And so they come in, um, the brothers get fucked

459
00:30:02,685 --> 00:30:06,316
up. They get, uh, Feyre and Lucien, and they

460
00:30:06,316 --> 00:30:10,060
winnow them out. So finally they're there. Um,

461
00:30:11,137 --> 00:30:14,818
I thought it was interesting Cassian is a little upset with Feyre because you're

462
00:30:14,818 --> 00:30:18,478
my High Lady and you've put yourself at risk. So he gets

463
00:30:18,478 --> 00:30:21,218
grouchy. Yeah, he was very grouchy.

464
00:30:23,070 --> 00:30:26,271
Yeah, yeah, because like he spent months and months and months

465
00:30:26,497 --> 00:30:30,231
training her and now she had to use it,

466
00:30:30,361 --> 00:30:33,722
right? Even though like she couldn't master some of the shit, like the whole

467
00:30:33,835 --> 00:30:37,211
flying thing, things like that. But now they're pissed because she actually

468
00:30:38,970 --> 00:30:41,932
had to use what they taught her to do.

469
00:30:43,830 --> 00:30:47,631
Yeah, and I forgot to even say, the reason why Cassian and Azriel were

470
00:30:47,712 --> 00:30:50,837
out there is because when Feyre lost her powers for that moment,

471
00:30:51,670 --> 00:30:55,462
Rhysand thought she was hurt or dying. And so they had been searching for her

472
00:30:55,462 --> 00:30:58,836
frantically, like, oh my God, oh my God, where's Feyre? So I think he's mad,

473
00:30:58,852 --> 00:31:01,636
like, you made this choice, you're my High Lady. And I think it reminds him

474
00:31:01,685 --> 00:31:05,498
of what Rhysand did, um, without them knowing and sort

475
00:31:05,498 --> 00:31:08,879
of sacrificing himself and eventually, you know, being

476
00:31:09,071 --> 00:31:12,248
punished under the mountain. So I like the relationship that

477
00:31:12,537 --> 00:31:16,324
Cassian and Feyre have. Yeah. And I, and I like to— like,

478
00:31:16,388 --> 00:31:19,918
in that part where, you know, Lucien finally became an ally

479
00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:24,139
instead of being Tamlin's little bitch boy, you know,

480
00:31:24,171 --> 00:31:27,524
he is all like Team Feyre. You know,

481
00:31:28,599 --> 00:31:31,696
I, I've got to get out. I've got to get out of this situation I'm

482
00:31:31,728 --> 00:31:34,520
in now, and the only way I can do it is if I go with

483
00:31:34,520 --> 00:31:37,553
Feyre. I secretly hope that

484
00:31:38,133 --> 00:31:41,421
he's not Team Feyre. I secretly believe that

485
00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:45,563
he's like, just team let me get my mate and

486
00:31:45,563 --> 00:31:49,239
get the fuck out of here. I think he cares a little bit

487
00:31:49,352 --> 00:31:52,899
about Feyre, but I don't think he's here for all of Feyre's

488
00:31:53,012 --> 00:31:56,425
fuckery. I do think he

489
00:31:57,465 --> 00:32:00,470
is for his mate because he lost the love of his life, so I think

490
00:32:00,470 --> 00:32:04,149
he's hoping that he'll find love again, and that is sort of

491
00:32:04,149 --> 00:32:05,956
what's driving him to make all these decisions.

492
00:32:09,244 --> 00:32:12,303
Yeah, I don't know how I feel about Lucien, because even throughout this book, I

493
00:32:12,303 --> 00:32:15,814
don't know if he has loyalty to any one court.

494
00:32:16,394 --> 00:32:19,550
I don't think he does. I don't think he does. I don't even know— and

495
00:32:19,648 --> 00:32:22,583
this is going to— we're going to jump way ahead because of this.

496
00:32:25,426 --> 00:32:29,229
At the end of the book, I feel like he's flirting with the human queen,

497
00:32:30,610 --> 00:32:34,289
the Phoenix Queen, whatever. And it makes me really

498
00:32:34,402 --> 00:32:37,744
fucking angry. Mm-hmm. Like, what are you— are you sleeping with her now, you

499
00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:41,279
asshole? Like, why are you being friendly?

500
00:32:41,777 --> 00:32:45,600
You should be all about this Elaine person that you're supposedly whatever. But

501
00:32:45,649 --> 00:32:49,130
then they get into that whole story about, um,

502
00:32:51,775 --> 00:32:55,435
Rhys's mom and Dad, where they're

503
00:32:55,451 --> 00:32:58,961
like, they're mated, but they're not like made for each

504
00:32:59,026 --> 00:33:02,584
other. And so like, so that kind of throws me

505
00:33:02,826 --> 00:33:06,627
a little bit too. I'm not here for all Lucien shit. I think

506
00:33:06,627 --> 00:33:09,778
he's, I think he's putting on a front, and I think

507
00:33:10,363 --> 00:33:12,442
maybe he's trying to do the same thing that Feyre did to Tamlin.

508
00:33:16,577 --> 00:33:20,176
I think he makes it clear to Feyre, like, I just want to see her

509
00:33:20,176 --> 00:33:22,663
once. And Feyre's like, I'm not going to force her to do shit. And he's

510
00:33:22,663 --> 00:33:26,356
like, that's fine. Just let me come with you. And I just want to see

511
00:33:26,356 --> 00:33:29,904
her. So. Mm-hmm. I wish we could hear his inner

512
00:33:29,904 --> 00:33:33,581
dialogue because I'm just so curious, like when he finally— he

513
00:33:33,581 --> 00:33:37,370
gets to the Night Court, um, Rhysand, Feyre, they reunite. Everybody's

514
00:33:37,370 --> 00:33:41,047
all just grateful that she's alive. I think some of them are

515
00:33:41,047 --> 00:33:43,022
also looking at Lucien like, what the fuck are you doing here?

516
00:33:46,576 --> 00:33:50,065
And Rhysand is definitely like, all right, well, you're here because my mate says you

517
00:33:50,065 --> 00:33:53,099
should be, but like, probably wouldn't have invited you on my own.

518
00:33:55,210 --> 00:33:58,797
Um, but Lucien eventually— and we're kind of jumping

519
00:33:58,895 --> 00:34:00,998
ahead— he eventually does. He sees Elain.
