🖤 When you spend so long trapped in darkness

A Court of Memes & TikToks 📸

This week’s meme was posted on my ACOTAR Fandom Facebook page last week, and it went absolutely viral with over 14,000 reactions and nearly 1,000 comments 🤯

LMAO this just might be my favorite ACOTAR meme of all time! I don’t know what makes me laugh harder- Beron being the ass or the idea of Rhys as a penguin 🤣

Also, the creator captioned this “Feyre is the sampler platter of high lord powers” and that absolutely sent me 💀

I call this week’s TikTok “The Tale of Two Bat Boys” and if you watch it, you’ll see exactly why 😂

First we have Cassian, Mr. “I’m all right even though you just went Beron on me and burned straight through my sparring pads” followed by Azriel, Mr. “Hahaha you just flew head first into a tree that’s been there for over 200 years” 🤣

By the way, can I just say that I love how we as a fandom have made it canon that Azriel pushed Feyre off a cliff when teaching her to fly even though he clearly said “no” when she asked him to 😆

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 Thorns and Roses Trivia Part Two

What nickname does the Suriel call Amarantha?

• The Enchantress

• The Deceiver

• The Usurper

• The Temptress

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 chose this fierce Feyre quote:

This scene gives me chills every single time I read it! It was so intense seeing Feyre face down Lucien and finally stand up for herself 👏 Plus, I think anyone who has faced dark times can relate to the sentiment behind this message.

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 ✍️

This week’s fanart selection is dedicated to our favorite badass trio, The Valkyries ⚔

This artwork brings me so much joy I can’t even put it into words! I know we as a fandom tend to focus on the romantic relationships (or the bat boys bromance lol), but the friendship between these three is one of my favorite parts of the entire series 🥹

I am obessed with all the little details that the super-talented @frostbite.studios put into this piece! From the friendship bracelets to the bookshelf in the background, it’s absolutely perfect 😍

*If you reshare any artwork, PLEASE credit the artist. They work so hard and deserve all the recognition!*

For this week’s fanfiction selection, I’m switching it up a bit from the short and smutty and going with a longer, plot-driven piece.

Instead of explaining it myself, I’ll just leave the author’s description here: “If you are craving a piping hot cup full of slow-burned, longing-soaked, tensioned-filled Prythian soup that tastes mostly like a dance between two very delicate, damaged, beautiful introverts, with a hearty pour of angst throughout, and a little fluff for dessert… then pull up a chair and roll up your sleeves.”

I’m only two chapters in, but I’m hooked and can’t wait to see where this story goes! (P.S. If you’re a hardcore Elucien shipper, then this may not be the pick for you)

Title: What Bloomed in the Darkgarden

Author: ehoney

Summary: Elain Archeron is not the trembling fawn everyone believes her to be. Two years after the war, she feels an awakening- a power which calls her to grow untamed things under moonlight. She then receives an invitation to master her abilities as a Seer under the guidance of an Oracle of the Day Court. All the while fighting an inevitable war of passion for a holy mess of a shadow-wreathed male who looks at her with all the longing in the world.

So perhaps a little more softly, a little more lethally, Elain begins her journey down the path unknown. For there’s something blooming within her- something darker, softer, and wilder than she can name- reaching for the song of the Void.
