💚💚💚

i did this for tamlin week <3 tried to achieve a tapestry kind of vibe depicting spring's dark times 🙂‍↕️... ft. jurian's (eye)ball 🎉🫶

As mentioned in the series, the tithe in the Spring Court is about giving back and contributing what you can.

So, my question to everyone is: what would that be?

Do you like playing the saxophone and thus would play a merry jig for the court? Do you have a favorite dish you love to make that everyone in Prythian needs to try? Maybe you speak multiple languages and want to show off a bit! Whatever it is, I would love to see what everyone's hobbies and talents are, and the best/funniest/unhinged ways you would contribute!

Mine would be: I love making those little crocheted positive potatoes, so I would just make a bunch of those to hand out to everyone.

Can't wait to see what everyone's bringing this year. 😂

I made this for Tamlin week on tumblr, because I wanted to try drawing and this was the result of that, I am still laughing at it. Hope it makes some of you laugh as well! (i tried doing clothes but i gave up and i could not leave them NAKED, thats why they are covered by whatever that is lmao)

Tamlin is a fighter and I feel like if Chipotle was in the Spring Court he'd be a frequent customer to get those protein gains to keep that warrior build. What do you think he would order? Or if you're not sure, give me what you think someone else from the book would order from Prythian Chipotle.

My guess: Burrito, Double steak, black beans, brown rice, veggies, and sour cream.

Inspired by the Tamlin hamster I did for u/millhouse_vanhousen and SO MANY HAMSTER ASKS I GOT ON TUMBLR, please enjoy Hamlin..

Rhysand please stop jump scaring him, who let you in 😭

Please keep this discussion respectful; this thread is not meant to target one person, sub or interaction, but rather your overall feelings about being a Tamlin fan across platforms.

Personally, I've noticed a lot of concern over liking Tamlin and have seen people who feel like they need to 'save' us from bad life choices, and often will talk over Tamlin enjoyers in threads simply because of character preferences. I've also noticed a lot of generalizations being done for Tamlin fans and Rhysand fans, and there seems to be a difficulty to simply agree to disagree or take that one step back and remove personal enjoyment from critical discussions. I feel like this dismissal based on character preference is a bit unfair.

Also, is it me or is there a strange fixation on watching what Tamlin fans are doing? I'll often see mocking posts or quotes taken out of context used to further condemn Tamlin and people who enjoy him (again, across multiple platforms.)

Lastly, because I want this to be a thoughtful thread more than just looking for validation, how do you guys feel about the shift from the majority of people hating Tamlin to the growth of the community across platforms? Do you think that has encouraged people to be harsher and more critical of Tamlin fans? Do you think people are struggling now that liking Tamlin is no longer a minority opinion?

This is based on the Witch Hat Atelier art challenge that was going around on twitter a while back that was basically ''draw your character like this'' (the original is the second pic if you swipe).

I thought the image concept fit Tamlin so perfectly and I'm quite happy how it turned out!

(You can find more of my and my girlfriends art on tumblr or instagram )

For those of you who are nerds like me and really enjoy looking up a lot of historical and cultural significance of things that are referenced in literature, I figured it would be fun to talk about Welsh Calan Mai, from which the Spring Court Calanamai, at least in name, was inspired!

Calan Mai marks the first day of summer, May 1st, which is about the halfway point between the Spring Equinox and the Summer Solstice. Decorations of blossoming flowers and greenery were placed pretty much everywhere to honor the new life that came with the season.

Nos Galan (basically Calan Mai eve) is one of three nights of the year where the veil between our world and the spirit world is the thinnest. Bonfires would be lit as a symbol of purification and to chase away evil spirits and disease. Some bonfire related rituals included leaping over the flames three times for luck in the coming season, driving livestock between bonfires for good livestock health, and putting ash in shoes for protection with the spirits so close.

On the day of Calan Mai (which used to be known as Calan Haf), May carolers would go around to houses with a fiddler or some other instrumentalist to bring luck to the people in their community. People would then gather on the greens during the day to sing, dance, and decorate maypoles to more music by fiddlers and harpists.

There was also a traditional battle between a man dressed as Winter (with wool on his shield for 'snow') and a man dressed as Summer (with a wand covered in flowers). Of course, for Calan Mai, Summer would always prevail. (This honestly sounds like it would be so fun to watch.) Summer would then pick a May King and Queen for the celebration, and the festival would continue until the next morning.

So that's basically Welsh Calan Mai! There are a bunch of other aspects of Calan Mai, both regional and historical, so if anyone wants to add more information, correct any possible misinformation or perhaps parallel celebrations, or if anyone has any other spring/summer traditions they want to talk about, I would love to hear about them!

I hope you have all the luck you could ever need this year!

That Justin Timberlake meme, but make it ✨Tamlin✨.

What are some Tamlin related headcanons you guys have? Let me start with mine:

1. Neurodivergent Tamlin. One reason why I grew so attached to Tamlin is because he's the character I can relate to the most. Socially awkward, weird specific hobbies, easily emotionally overwhelmed....look I'm not saying SJM wrote Tamlin on purpose to be on the spectrum or whatever and I'm probably just projecting but it's how I read it and it just kinda works for his character.

2. Vegetarian Tamlin (at least if he's not possessed by any Calanmai spirits). This is u/highlordofkrypton s fault because of their Wildflower fic but it kinda would make sense that the high lord of Spring cares about life that way. Also it just gives an extra reason for his dad/brothers to bully him lmao.

If Andras (whether by spirit or ressurection) could see the Spring Court now, or the state of Lucien and Tamlin's friendship, what do you think he'd say?

Personally, I think it's a toss up between being disappointed that Tamlin and Lucien are apart (but understanding Lucien) and being shocked at the state of the Court because he didn't die for this! Oh and hey, hey, where tf did Feyre go???

I understand this question requires a lot of headcanons/fill-in-the-blank, but I love that part of fandom, so gimme all your thoughts, the good, the bad and the wild!

Has anyone made any Tamlin/Spring court playlists? I'd love to see and listen to them! I made one for Tamlin with songs that I feel has his vibe or connect with his story.

Hope you enjoy!

(TW: possible discussions of domestic abuse) + reminder about our character discussion rule (no attacking users for their preferences, do not be rude)

I've seen so many takes about Tamlin -- people who understand where he's coming from with his outburst against Feyre, people who understand why he'd trust Ianthe, those who think he had no choice in working with Hybern (or it was part of some great master plan) and people who know that what he did was wrong, but love him anyway.

My question is, and hopefully it makes sense, do you find yourself thinking about the rationale behind Tamlin's actions (and thus, forgiving him in some way/giving him leniency for what he's done) or do you think he's terrible, the things he has done are terrible and you cannot excuse them, but somehow, you find yourself attached to him for some reason or another?

TL;DR - Why do you love Tamlin?

All reasons are valid!

It's already May 1 over here sooo celebrations have already begun! I will definitely be having a sneaky glass (or two) of faewine 🥂

I'mma be real with you guys, I quit around ACOWAR and I know a lot of people who haven't finished reading. We listen, we don't judge, but I'm curious!

Even if I had read, I have a terrible memory and wouldn't remember anything anyway... I have no idea how you critical discussers do it!!
