Hey, I’m astrababyy! I also go by Christy if that’s what you’d like to call me instead. This is just me clarifying a few things, linking you guys to some stuff, etc. etc. (This will continue to be edited as my blog changes fyi)

Ps. I reblog stuff a lot. I reblog stuff nearly as much as I like them so you’ll see a lot of that. If you only want to see my content, I am working on putting an astrababyy tag on every single post I’ve made so you can click on that tag to see just that if you’d like.

okay, but percy being poseidon's kid gives him so many advantages that we probably never thought of. like, this boy can probably chew ice like it's no one's business, and not hurt his teeth. he can probably drink straight from the ocean without having to boil it beforehand. he has never choked on his spit in his life. he can probably run on wet, slippery floors and not fall. like, the possibilities are endless. i deadass would love a list.

i don’t mean to be that person, but if mating bonds are based in who will have the most powerful offspring then how would thesan and his general be mates? like, how would that even work?? do fae have male pregnancies? also, why are mating bonds only about offspring some of the time, rather than all of the time? what’s the difference? is it just for plot’s sake? if a mating bond is clearly prioritizing the resulting offspring over true love, does that mean those babies will be incredibly powerful if it’s that important that two faeries who clearly don’t go well together are in a bond?

Other than that the Cauldron is pro eugenics, I also like to think that the mating bonds aren't about who's compatible with the soul or even about offspring, but has to do with the magic of people themselves. Like for Rhysand's mom and dad, maybe her magic was calling out for help (I also like the idea that all fae are magical in some way even if it doesn't manifest) and his magic instinctively responded to hers. The mating bond could literally just be magic merging than any sort of divine interference. Same with Feyre, the mating bond only clicked with Rhys until she became Fae.

There could even be an element of unconscious choice. Rhysand's mother didn't necessarily want to have a mate, she wanted to be saved. The same could honestly be the same with Feyre. And it could also be why the mating bond doesn't click for her until she actively wants it.

Tbh it would be interesting if the Fae have a misconception of what mating bonds are at their core anyway, given that so far, everytime a mating bond clicks, it's usually one sided.

Rhysand's mom to his father

Rhys to Feyre

Cassian to Nesta

Lucien to Elain

Someone always receives a bond and the other has to accept it. This could honestly be just someone else's magic reaching out and then being accepted by the other person.

Edit: Kallias and Vivienne could be a case of mutual mates (but didn't sjm also say that one of them knew first??). Same with Thesan and his lover, but we literally know nothing about them.

Another edit: could also be why there are no human/fae mates

I have a post in my drafts about this (thanks for reminding me) but I think Rhys is wrong about bonds being for Most Powerful Babies since Rhys's son killed Feyre, Cassians would kill Nesta, and, unless the Cauldron is totally omniscient, paired them with humans to begin with.

Unfortunately, that makes the whole system seem pretty arbitrary since it also doesn't match people emotionally/spirituality compatible either.

Fortunately, Rhys being wrong saves SJM from accusations about creating a eugenics society. 😬

Which leaves my theory that the cauldron is corrupt. It only matches people to force people together for Unknown Reason, hopefully to be revealed.

[astrababyy]

i had a theory from a little while ago that the reason mating bonds are so rare is because most fae are actually bonded to either lesser fae or mortals, and the only way to discover this if they’re human would be to meet/for them to become fae. like a curse or smth on the fae as punishment for enslaving them.

🌀 + ☔️!

hi!! geez, there are so many i could use for these two prompts lol.

🌀 || there’s this one fic idea that i came up with and wrote a kinda cringey summary for a few months ago. it’s called a wolf in sheep’s clothing, and most fics titled along those lines have a tendency to have cringe summaries lmao.

Feyre Archeron is dead.
In the last stretch of the trials to free Tamlin, Amarantha stops Feyre before she can solve the riddle. Left at the mercy of the cruel general, Feyre is killed, and the Courts of Prythian fall to her tyranny.
It only takes two more years before Amarantha reunites with the king of Hybern and together, they lead their forces into the Mortal Realm to the south. As the Wall falls and enslavement overtakes the humans once more, a desperate attempt to stop it rises from the ashes of its ruins.

Four months after Feyre left to find Amarantha, she is confirmed dead. In mourning, the Archeron family reunites with their cousins to the east in the Continent to rebuild their old life. Two years later, their homeland is overtaken, and every human there is put in chains.
Angry, embittered, and aiming for blood, Nesta Archeron leads a rebellion against the faeries in her homeland, gathering forces from all across the world. But it is humans against faeries, and as the High Lords of Prythian lose all their power once and for all, they are fighting a losing battle against an infallible, unbeatable enemy.
But Nesta Archeron is a wolf in sheep’s clothing, and the Fae can underestimate her all they want. For, human or not, she will tear down mountains and split the Earth in half if it will bring her sister back and free her world of its chains.

☔️ || dude, i have sooo many fic ideas for acotar that i don’t think i’ll ever get around to writing. most fic ideas that i come up with don’t center around romance at all, and are very plot heavy so they’re very daunting to write lol.

one fic idea that i just recently came up with was an atla-inspired story where post-acotar, pre-going to the night court feyre travels around the seven courts of prythian and learns how to use her powers. the reasoning i gave for the high lords not killing her the moment they discovered it was the foundational reasoning for a long, three book saga where each book centers around each archeron sister. basically, there’s a prophecy about three made sisters that foretells the biggest threat prythian will ever face, and the sisters are the only thing that can stop it. so teaching feyre how to use her powers becomes this like vital thing. and she travels across each court, learns about their culture and magic system, and it sets the grounds for the daglan to rise again and try to take over prythian.

the first book would’ve been called legend of the cursebreaker, next would’ve been myth of the godkiller and last one would’ve been elain’s, which would have been tale of the fatespinner. it’s pretty obvious which sister is which. i adore the idea of the fic, but everything about writing it sounds incredibly daunting lol.

Queen Maria of Romania being an actual queen who dealt in politics and writing fairytales is sometimes special for me. Truly shows that you can be both a woman basically ruling a country and an author writing fairytales.
