Ep. 13 Part I: Get ready for some serious Girl Power. Valkyries have set the standard for physical, emotional, mental, and interpersonal strength, and one could only dream of being as badass as the Valkyrie were. Nesta, Gwyn, and Emerie learn about them and are like, “we can do that.” and you know what? They did do that. And for you heathens that want more smut, don’t worry. There’s a taste in here for you, too. It’s hot and amazing and I love it.

Special thanks to reddit user u/faeriebitch for her amazing description of Nesta and Cassian in the prison.

We aren’t exactly sure what deal SJM made with the devil to write such filth, dear Mother and Cauldron above, we are so glad it happened. This week, our dear friend Natalia Trujillo brings the spice, giving us that fresh take on our favorite book from the ACOTAR series, ACOSF. As it happens, this is the spiciest chunk of the book, so listener beware, this episode is HOT HOT HOT. Come with us as we discuss Nesta, our favorite Archeron sister, Cassian, our favorite Illyrian warrior, and all the Valkyrian fighting, trove hunting, and general badassery part two of A Court of Silver Flames has to offer.

Let’s be honest. All the other episodes were really just in preparation for this, our favorite book of the series. But we promise, we aren’t only gonna talk about those steamy scenes between Cassian and Nesta (that’s for next episode). As promised, Rhys takes a long fallin in our list of favorite fictional men and we are pretty sure Feyre sustained some substantial brain injury from too-rough copulation with her favorite high lord, because WHAT IS SHE THINKING. Where did our badass High Lady go? Anyways, we finally get to learn all about our most relatable girly, Nesta, and we never want to leave.

Special thanks to friend of the podcast, Katherine, who you can find on instagram @katherination, for talking to us today and giving the greatest insights to Elain’s character development and teaching us that its okay to not give a f*ck about fictional babies.

We are entering our Dear Abby era and honestly, good for us. Get your comfiest, coziest pj’s on, pour yourself a drink, and cuddle up with us tonight. Maybe do a puzzle!! Let’s dig into some listener emails and some reddit posts and caught our eye.

This week we read a listener email from Josh about his and his fiancée’s belly button fetish and read a question someone posted on reddit about where to draw the lines between a kink lifestyle and real life.

Throw a Solstice log on the fire, (but not when Nesta is in the room) pour yourself a glass of fae wine, throw a snowball at your High Lord, throw a gift you bought for your crush into the Sidra without ever telling anyone what the hell the gift was, and come with us on this journey through the ACOTAR Christmas Special, A Court of Frost and Starlight. All of our takes are hot, and you’ll probably take issue with most of them. That’s okay. We forgive you.

Special thanks again to @ali_learns_to_read for your amazing synopsis of ACOFAS (and like, every book)

When we said that this podcast was gonna be like friends talking over a facetime call, this is what we meant. This week, we are joined by one of our TikTok friends, Deborah Alexandra (@deb.alexandra). If you’ve ever wondered if the trope of the sweet innocent girl with the darkest fantasies existed, you can rest your weary head, because she. is. it. And we are HERE FOR IT. The darker the better, babyyyyy. Join us as we discuss the best dark romances, the controversy behind some of the most well known ones, and what exactly we think of men who read (spoiler: it’s hot).

Sinners, we are headed back to TamtamLand, to enact Feyre's diabolical master plan to sew discord and unrest in the Spring Court. She has gone full bad guy and We. Are. Here. For. it. Ianthe rears her ugly face and we legit hate her. She goes straight in the burn book. In other news, Lucien does NOT deserve this treatment, but then again, he kinda does? Agree to disagree. Basically, everyone needs therapy, no one can be trusted, and every choice is perhaps not the best choice and better communication would have made this book about 200 pages shorter. Oh! And a guest appearance by Fabio???? I mean, you’re welcome.

Look, listen. We know that there is a lot of story that happens in this half of the book. The plot is thickening more than that time I accidentally put cornstarch into the mac n cheese. BUT, this is also the half of the book where all the hot HOT HOTTT Feysand action happens and our priorities align with the latter. We have the Bad-Guy-Rhys scene in the Court of Nightmares, the Inn Scene with sensitive wings and something to do with fingers, and the CABIN SCENE where we finally get P in V action. We have O’s that shake mountains and war-camp boinking that would make any Illyrian blush to hear. How can you expect us to focus on anything else? Come on. Be realistic. You know what you signed up for.
