Why do people act as if Tamlin actually sided with Hybern?

Like, it's all explained in ACOWAR. He's a double-agent, and without him the war would've been lost on multiple counts (he was the one who forced Beron to fight, he was the one who found out about the Faebane caches so an antidote could be made).

Like, I'll admit, there are reasons to hate him (though as a Tam-stan I'll point out that these reasons are applicable to anyone in these books, with Tamlin's own actions being far more reasonable), but people keep saying Tamlin sided with Hybern like they just forgot everything in ACOWAR that wasn't Rhys and Feyre.

Wait, did they?

Suggest me a book with a Tamlin-like character (unfairly hated) and an HEA for him

Basically, a book where one of the love interests is a Tamlin (does exactly the same things as all the other characters but is the only one to get lambasted for it. Basically a hatesink for all the characters). Bonus points if the MC also hates him at the start!

Preferably MM (male x male) but anything goes. I just finished my fanfic (Which I've now taken as canon) and need one last bit of closure, lmao. With a happy ending. I know this is a specific request, so sorry about that!

EDIT: Preferably after 2001.

EDIT: You guys, you don't have to respond to this. I will argue if I need to, up until I don't feel like it, but it'd be easier for both of us if you just didn't.

Does anyone ever wonder what might've happened if Tamlin took Amarantha's offer?

I dunno, this possibility has been stuck in my head for ages now. Like, obviously it would have to be before Lucien's eye got gouged out, and it would be basically giving into someone who lusted for him as a literal child, but it's STUCK IN MY HEAD.

She would've literally made him High King. I dunno, I can imagine a vengeful Tamlin going back in time and going: fuck it, let's just do this, I'm done.

I KNOW THIS IS A TERRIBLE SITUATION, OBJECTIVELY. But like...it's also very much on my mind. They could've been a weirdly good power couple? Like, Amarantha's pure sadism and lack of morals coupled with Tamlin's intelligence and power (which is comparable or even greater than Rhysand's). If we removed the whole 'lusted for him when he was a teenager (ew)' thing, she just looks like a standard yandere.

Amarantha canonically wanted Tamlin over Rhys. Feyre fell in love with Tamlin despite the mating bond with Rhys. Safe to say Tamlin's hotter than Rhysand.

This is purely a joke opinion but also what I truly believe. Like, Feyre thinks Rhysand's the hottest because of the mating bond (I'll admit, he's probably attractive like literally every Fae in this book, but still), but literally all the evidence points to Tamlin being hotter.

What if Tamlin got with a witch? Part two of snippets of my fic!

I've decided that I'm done with ACOTAR's frankly shallow politics and writing, and have decided that if nobody else will explore some of Tamlin's trauma, I WILL

Also, some light Tamlin revenge and actual politics at the end of it. The book I'm currently writing (which will be around 15k words) will focus on a fic featuring Tamlin and a witch OC (Morgan) who comes to Spring after its destruction, on the night of Calanmai. What does she want? Why will Tamlin give it? Find out, this Friday!

This book is a prequel to a book I plan on writing after this is posted (hence why it's the 'First installment'). The sequel to this will be featuring a child of Tamlin and how ambition, rage, hunger, and all those other delightful facts of humanity/Fae-nity feature into Prythian's political landscape.

>It's been a year since Tamlin permanently shifted into his beast form, and nothing's been working to bring him back. While the Lord of Night rages in his hidden city of stars and Lucien Vanserra struggles with his divided loyalties, a new player enters the board, furious and vengeful for slights nobody can ask forgiveness for.

Character Playlist:

Tamlin's Playlist

>So, for Tamlin in this fic, I wanted to explore his trauma and some of the issues he has in the series that are given exactly zero nuance because nuance doesn't exist in SJM's writing. I also use bits of lore and unexplained scenes that are retconned from ACOTAR, because why not? His playlist, as you will notice, is far more varied than Morgan's for the reason that he actually has a character arc in this fic. It'll all come together once you read, lmao.

The fic will be uploaded once it's done, but till then, feel free to follow me here! Note: I know Wattpad as a website sucks, lmao, but it's also the only place I can find where I can post my original fiction as well.

So it'd be cool if you could follow me there instead of Ao3! I'll add in both links (my Wattpad also has links to my other socials if you're interested).

Comment here to find out once the fic is posted without following me.

>Morgan is a witch hailing from the Bog of Oorid. She's old, powerful, and most of all: a person who wants nothing more than vengeance on the person who banished her to the Bog for what she was. She's a terrible person, but for the short time she'll be with us, she'll be what Tamlin truly needed.

Found a free proxy. Can share an invite link to a limited number of people who ask

It's costless (you can choose to pay and put in more credits though) and really private. Has Deepseek, GLM, et cetera. You get about 30 free messages a day, can make alt accounts, et cetera. You get more free messages if you share it with other people (only up to a limit though. They don't want people brigading). DM me if you're interested!

EDIT: You'll need a Discord account.

This sub is sort of dead rn, so, question. What would the next book look like if it was written by YOU?

You do not have to be in this subreddit if it upsets you, lmao

So I've been seeing some comments posting about how everyone hates the books so much they're obsessed, and that the books aren't that deep and all that. I have opinions on the "It's not that deep" argument, but for the sake of politeness I will keep them to myself.

To put it simply: this is a rant subreddit. Of course there's going to be negativity. You do not have to comment or post here if the negativity upsets you. Or, alternatively, you can post about the negativity in the fandom in this subreddit and how it upsets you.

But please refrain from commenting that it's "not that deep" and that we're all "obsessed over something we hate", as if that isn't the point of this subreddit and you chose to interact with it.

There are many subreddits on this website that love ACOTAR. You can join one of them.

What Rhysand did Under The Mountain to the High Lords

I'm specifically referencing the fact that he 'nudged' the High Lords into resurrecting her (I just found out about this a few days ago even though I read the books. Like, I guess I just blocked out the trauma, lmao).

Like...oh, come on, dude. Why would you write this? Am I the only one who thinks this cheapens the entire resurrection?

The way the scene is originally written, it's a bunch of powerful, ancient (and in Beron's case, misogynistic) people having to admit (and pay back) a mortal girl they owe their asses to. That's empowering. That's awesome. And then suddenly it turns out it was just because her boyfriend mind-controlled them?

If this is supposed to be a feminist book...stop giving women's accomplishments to the men they're marrying.

I don't even like Feyre! Or Rhysand! The entire Inner Circle should die off and give all their money to Tamlin to take care of him for the rest of his life. But this betrayal of the first book's whole point hurts my soul.

How do Indian minors even go to Germany? Can't get a blocked account.

Hi! I'm 17 from India and I'm midway through the German visa process, only to hear that Fintiba (the only blocked account provider I can find for minors) doesn't seem to offer blocked accounts for India. Keeping this in mind and the fact that I don't have a sponsor in Germany, is there no way for me to go to university in Germany?

Am I the only one who WOULD date Tamlin?

I feel like a lot of fans have the "He's the lesser toxic man" and "I like him, but I wouldn't date him" thing. Now, this is fine, just to clarify. My post isn't to bash on these people. BUT I WOULD SO DATE HIM. LINE ME UP IN FRONT OF HIM AND LET ME AT HIM.

Like, maybe it's because I have an awful home life, but aside from the accidental magic blasts I feel like we'd be just fine, lmao. I'd be very insistent on him fixing the accidental magic thing though.

EDIT: I'm a guy btw, lmao.

The agony of liking celebrities who are Rhysand stans and Tamlin-haters. Also, what songs do you think remind you of Tamlin?

Like, I have to skip songs because some are based on a surface-level reading of Rhysand and Tamlin.

GAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. Nothing against the singers and the music is objectively awesome, I just cannot separate them from RhySAnd and Tam-Tam. Also, what songs do you think remind you of Tamlin?

How do I get Nyx and my OC Son of Tamlin in the same room together?

...How I can make the title happen?

I'm thinking of writing a fanfic on Wattpad and Ao3 about an OC Son of Tamlin and Nyx. Forced-proximity trope (but no mates. There are way too many already), about seventeen years after the original story was complete (ACOSF). They will get together, eventually. The only issue is that they hate each other (Nyx because he's been propagandized into thinking the Night Court is the best, plus or minus a few wingclippings, and the OC because...well, everything) on principle.

Obviously they meet at High Lord meetings and such, but I was thinking of more of a school setting. Which wouldn't be possible, given Rhysand and Tamlin would both be deathly protective of their children. Another thing I was considering was cursing them to be near each other, but that seems...like a bit of a stretch?
