LETS GET ITTTTTTTTT--

Because a fandom user (Vespera is Future me) commented on my blog post and brought it up here aaaand i cannot stop thinking about it

Tw: ...the title basically, toxic gender stereotypes in all, brief mention of cheating

So uh. kotlc. has a lot of toxic gender stereotypes

I'm not sure if sexist is the right word for them, but Shannon seems to have included a lottt of toxic masculinity and feminity in the elvin world. There are a lot of gender stereotypes in the books which are just. accepted. as if its normal and okay. which it isn't.

Which I doubt Shannon did on purpose ofc. But like, they're still there. And they're very annoying tbh, like what happened to the elves having conquered sexism and toxic stereotypes, huh shannon?

And yes, I know nbi people exist, but since shannon pointedly refuses to acknowledge our existence in the elvin world, I'm not gonna mention them much so--

Um. I'm just gonna c/p what Vespera is Future me said, and add on a bit--

• Our main character Sophie hates dresses and believes herself to be ‘unlike’ other girls as shown in book 1 when Sophie asks when she’d become one of those silly girls.

hhh i hate that "i'M nOt LiKe OtHeR gIrLs" thing, it's stupid and generalized girls. a lot. And I hate how shannon wrote the "silly girls" thing idk it just rubbed me the wrong way gaykjhgvflkjhgfgh like its totally valid if sophie doesn't like dresses, but the "nOt LiKe OtHeR gIrLs" thing was unnecessary

• The girls are almost always softer and more forgiving and than the boys, Such as Linh being the soft one, Edaline being the one easily shattered, and Biana wanting to forgive Alvar.

Mhm... literally every time, its the girl in the situation being more "fragile" and "soft" and "sweet" while the boy gets mad or upset or brash. And like obviously sometimes those stereotypes are true, but every. single. time. why--

• Fitz and Keefe are portrayed with muscles, but Shannon never once mentioned Biana having muscles, instead in Nightfall she implied that they did not have muscles by saying that All they’d need was the muscles…;the girls are a lot of the time skinny and are described to look like fairy princesses

E x a c t l y. The boys are tall and strong and muscled while the girls are small and skinny. Our one tall girl, stina, was heavily implied to be unattractive, plus y'know, she was the "bad guy" for most of the series

I want my fat biana or muscled linhhh please shannonnn gaykjhgfdfghjkl

• Our main character literally only cares to hang out with boys. She never really asks to come over to a girls house unless she needs something. Sophie ignores all of her female friends.

And like its totally fine if Sophie depends on Fitz and Keefe, but its always them. Every time there's a female lead, she depends on boys a lottt. and I just wish sophie would turn to Biana or Linh or stina sometimes, you know?

• Keefe was idolizing Alvar for having three girlfriends, and I’m sure that Sophie wasn’t the least bit bothered by that.

Sigh. That was one thing I'm still upset about. Shannon wrote it to seem like Alvar was cheating on 3 different people at once, and then everyone literally brushed it aside, other than della who everyone conveniently ignored. Cheating is. never okay. Ever.

And i choose to believe it was polyam, but the thing is Shannon led us to believe it was cheating and so many people already confuse polyam with cheating. Several times I've seen people say polyam ships cant happen "bEcAuSe ThAt'S cHeAtInG" and honestly its pretty hurtful because... just search up what polyam is before you make those assumptions. google, or whatever search engine you use, is probably free.

And if this is polyam its really bad rep with the way shannon led us to believe it was cheating. So uh, Shannon if you try to pass this off as polyam rep, its a bit too late

But anygays, this... just really wasn't okay. And I wish shannon took the time to highlight how cheating is wrong, but instead she wrote Keefe to laugh and she made it seem like cheating is perfectly fine. And I honestly hate that so much

Plus. lets not forget how elves have these toxic gender roles when it comes to clothing.

Every single girl must wear a dress or skirt and leggings. Every single boy will wear a tunic, suit, jerkin, etc

And if you don't want to? Well too bad, you have to. no matter how uncomfortable it makes you!!

What happened to "the elves have surpassed sexism and gender roles" huh?

Its annoying, shannon i wanna see the girls wearing a suit (Biana. in. a. suit.) or the boys wearing a dress (where's my keefitz in a dress--) and tam with eyeliner pLEASE--

...if anyone ever draws biana or linh in a suit or the boys in dress or anything like that, you better show me-- /hj

hhh keefe with eyeshadow though

And muscled linh I'm gay--

...idk where the heck this went it was supposed to be an ~official~ rant and,,, there's this gayjhgfdsfghjk

I wish there was a cute boy who lived across from my bedroom window so we could like talk from our windows like sophie and keefe in neverseen.

But there's not.

PLEASE DON'T HATE ME

*transforms and flies away*

Sorryyyyyyyyy

Type it down in the comments!!! Please try to remain being respectful of other's opinions. Here is my response:

Oh boy, there are a few characters that I absolutely despise, but I mostly keep them to myself to not trigger anyone. So feel free to stop reading if you're scared my response is gonna make you mad or offended:

Ok, it's probably Lady Gisela

Reason being? Idk why, but I always end up hating smart manipulative villains. I have no love for characters who abuse and ruin the lives of my favorite characters. Seriously, she needs to get what's coming for her. Go kick her butt, Sophie!!!!! :)

Ok that got a little out of hand. But anyways, keep your eye out for tomorrow's post!! :)

*ahem*

"'What did you give him?'" Granite asked, cradling Prentice like a baby." (pg. 318 of Neverseen.)

"Granite held Prentice tighter, whispering, 'It's going to be okay." (pg. 318 of Neverseen.)

You know, the times when a dude hugs his best friend and cradles him. That's sooooooooo straight.

If you needed it. Even if you didn't, it's just a reminder. Love you <3

My friend sent me this. I don't know what it is...., help?

Just a quick sketch I tried this morning... Marty and Watson are the real underrated characters of the series.

Any advice/constructive criticism you have for me would be great!

TOPIC:

You're a hero. A hero from the olden times. But you don't remember. Your soul has been separated into two parts, consciousness and memory. You're the consciousness, and your memory is stuck on an island, inside a painting. You're invited on a trip there for your 16th birthday. And the moment you step on, everything feels wrong. There are traps and shadows and monsters, and you feel attracted to a house deep inside the forest...

There is a part two, but we'll see if we get there.
