🙅♀️ You do not fear. You do not falter. You do not yield.
...remember that you are a wolf and you cannot be caged
Happy Monday, my fellow Maasochist! Your weekly issue of ✨The Prythian Post✨ has winnowed its way to your inbox, and now it’s time to recap all things ACOTAR!
Before we dive into it, I just want to take a second to say THANK YOU to each and every one of you for making this newsletter such a fun experience for me!
It’s only week three, but we are nearing ONE THOUSAND subscribers and that has me like
Secondly, I’m so excited to announce that TPP has established its first brand partnership with The Library Closet, an officially SJM-licensed merchandise store 🤩
TLC has so many cute ACOTAR-themed t-shirts and sweatshirts that can be bought in a variety of colors and sizes (S-4XL).
As a bonus for shopping through my link, my code PRYTHIANPOST5OFF will be automatically applied to give you a $5 discount on your purchase.
Full transparency: I WILL receive a commission from any sale made through my link.
That being said, I have done my research into this brand and have only seen positive reviews, so I did not hesitate to purchase myself a Velaris shirt last week (and am patiently waiting for it to be delivered so I can start wearing it everywhere!)
A Court of Memes & TikToks 📸
The meme of the week is for all my fellow Silver Flames lovers! From here on out, when anyone asks you what this book is all about, just show them this 😂

Our girl Nesta was such a savage in this book!! She had The High Lord of the Day Court, the future High Lord of the Autumn Court, and one of the scariest monsters in The Prison all lusting after her 💅
And then there’s my poor Illyrian baby just trying to keep up 😅
As a day-one Cass and Nes stan, I’m very glad she did, in fact, say no to all these potential suitors. #Nessian4Eva
This week’s TikTok is the most popular video I have EVER posted on my ACOTAR Fandom Facebook Page with a whopping 25,834 reactions, 619 comments, and 894 shares 🤯

LMAO this ACOTAR x New Girl crossover is freaking hysterical and I love every single thing about it (but especially Schmidt as Rhys 😂)
I will also never NOT laugh at Feyre learning to fly videos- they send me almost as hard as she sent herself into that tree 🤣
A Court of Trivia & Quizzes ❓
ICYMI: The Prythian Post and ACOTAR Fandom Facebook Page aren’t my only projects! I also run a website called Maasversity, which features tons of tricky trivia quizzes based on specific details and characters from the series 📚
This week’s trivia question comes from the book quiz: A Court of Mist and Fury Trivia Part One
Where did Tamlin propose to Feyre?
The Rose Garden
The Pool of Starlight
A Field of Wildflowers
The Winter Solstice Celebration
Find out the correct answer (and take the full-length quiz) here 👇
A Court of Quotes & Sayings 📖
One of the very best things about the ACOTAR series is the abundance of beautiful quotes and relatable sayings. From heartwarming to heartbreaking, SJM never fails to pack a punch with her words 👊
For this week’s issue of TPP, I went with one of my all-time favorite Rhysand quotes from the entire series:
You do not fear. You do not falter. You do not yield.
I don’t know about you, but this quote fires me up every single time I read it. Probably because I pretend that Rhysand is speaking directly to me and not Feyre (like I do with pretty much everything he says 😆)
If this quote holds a special place in your heart, feel free to save and share this week’s graphic however you’d like!
A Court of Fanart & Fanfiction ✍️
For this week’s fanart selection, I went with one of my absolute favorite Feysand pieces 😍
🎨: @lulybot
Are you kidding me with the kiss on the cheek!? I feel like my heart is gonna explode from the preciousness of this piece 🥹
This beautiful artwork was created by the super-talented @lulybot and commissioned by @pandoras_book (who has an Etsy shop link in her bio to buy these prints!)
*If you are going to reshare any artwork, PLEASE credit the artist. They work so hard and deserve all the recognition!*
Okay, fellow ACOTAR addicts, it’s week three, and the results are in for the first two weeks of fanfiction picks…
In week one, I selected a shorter, spicy piece, and the click-through rate was through the roof! In week two, I selected a lengthy, plot-driven piece, and the CTR was much lower.
Based on these calculations, I think it’s safe to say that you all are here for the 🌶SPICE🌶 and I’m not mad about it 😏
So before I reveal this week’s selection, I’ll give you a little clue: SJM teased this freaky fantasy during ACOSF but never actually went through with it…

That’s right: It’s the Nesta x Cassian x Azriel threesome 🥵 and Cauldron boil me it is HOT 🔥 (seriously though, it’s really smutty, so prepare yourselves lol)
Title: The Song of the Sands
Author: the_chaotic_wallflower
Summary: It is the Summer Solstice festival at the Day Court and Nesta finds herself drenched in golden light and wicked lust, as Cassian and Azriel finally indulge her ultimate fantasy.
*Here is a great article that details exactly how to download the AO3 files and transfer them to your Kindle for easier reading*
A Court of Polls & Opinions 📊
Last but not least, our poll of the week!
Before we get to it, here are the results of last week’s poll:
A few of you who chose the Ouroboros Mirror left comments that hit really close to home for me, so I thought I’d share them anonymously in hopes that other readers could relate:
“I think it would be interesting to see the dark that lays beneath that we all work so hard to hide.”
“I definitely want to face my inner demons.”
“I live with the scary parts of myself everyday. A mirror would be nice.”
Thank you all so much for taking the time to share 🫶
Week Three Poll:
*As always- feel free to message me with any ideas you have for future polls. I’m always open to suggestions!
That’s all for this edition of ✨The Prythian Post✨
Thank you SO much for taking the time to read along, I really hope you enjoyed yourself!
Please don’t hesitate to let me know your honest opinions by replying directly to this email 💌 This newsletter is for you all, so any feedback helps!
Until next week, my fellow Maasochist ✌
