Writing ACOTAR fics???

So I just finished reading the ACTOAR series(super late I know) but I'm absolutely in love with this series 😭

I know I just started writing for Fourth Wing but maybe writing some ACTOAR fics can help with the ACTOAR hangover??? Let me know if that's something y'all want to see :)

I LOVED THIS VIDEO!!!

I have been struggling to get through HOFAS because it’s so hard to switch back and forth between the POVs 😭

Petition to make Cari can read a ✨High Lady ✨

LETS FUCKING GO🗣️🗣️

video for those who want it

I think it’s so cruel of SJM to make Tharion canonically an ass man….

Like, my boy lives UNDERWATER where the majority of people have TAILS (no butts)

It’s so sad 😞

Lucien Fancast

Booboo Stewart- Lucien

Age- 29

Hear me out... he'd dye his hair. Or wear a wig. He may not look like the fanarts that people are used to, but Booboo Stewart would fit Lucien's character really well. His charisma is off the charts. Have you seen his smile? From playing Seth in Twilight to Jay in Descendants, he often becomes a fan favorite. This would be no different. He would be exceptional playing our clever Spring Court Emissary.

"Spooky's Jumpscare Mansion" first anniversary (29th of July) collab

My parts were Specimen 11, Specimen 5 and Specimen 2

I thought Rhun was the love interest. I was very confused

So I just started reading Crescent City after seeing it being recommended here and there. I knew basically nothing about it though other than getting the sound bite Ruhn Danaan crown prince of the Valbaran Fae on tik tok a lot. Tik tok made it seem like he would be the love interest and I got so confused when he was just introduced as Bryce’s half brother😂

I was like either this is a fake brother situation or this is a whole different book than I thought😅

Sarah J. Maas Book Cover Redesigns

If people want them, I can make these into mobile/desktop wallpapers for patrons. See below for Patreon link.

Recently, it was revealed that Maas’ ACOTAR book covers got a redesign. 

No offense to the designer - because I try not to go out of my way to publicly bash someone’s design work that they spent time on - but I’m not alone in saying that those covers aren’t the greatest. 

From a design standpoint, the colors clash too heavily with the tone of the stories. While bright colors can be fun, they don’t match the books they represent. (Not to mention the color combo on the grey hardback covers is almost hard to read because they appear less bright and look washed out.) 

Maas seems to lean more on Eastern-esque art influences for reprints lately, and it’s honestly very confusing. Given the settings and characters, these do not work for the stories inside. If these covers had an updated color palette and were used for an Asian-inspired story, I think they’d be better because the illustrations are beautiful. But they’re just not ACOTAR. 

I’ve made my own minimalist book covers for A Court of Thorns and Roses and A Court of Mist and Fury. 

Yes I have my watermark on them. No I won’t remove them. 

The original designer attempted to do a minimal look, but they didn’t take advantage of the iconography and setting these books offered for a truly illustrative and still minimal set of covers. 

Stay tuned for when I do ACOWAR and ACOFAS next!

“Get up,” Chaol whispered. "Celaena,” he breathed, his voice laced with pain—and hope. This was all she had left—his outstretched hand, and the promise of hope, of something better waiting on the other side of that line.

Back when I shipped Chaolena</3
