Tarquin - Tumblr Posts
Who did it better? 004
White Hair:
Jem Carastairs vs. Tarquin High Lord of the Summer Court
Back on my bullshit again.
I recently found this gem in a tumblr comment-section:
(I censored the names bc I'm German and all, and because we don't want to hate on people here, it's just their statements.)
I'm honestly not totally sure how to word my thoughts on this.
It's giving 'How dare former colonies be angry with the British, who hoard their cultural assets and exhibit them in museums?'
How dare Tarquin be angry at Feyre and Rhysand for coming to his Court, allegedly to form an alliance and befriend him in a way, only to decieve him and steal what is most likely his most valuable artifact?
I have a huge problem with that arc in maf in general, because what the fuck was that? Tarquin was nothing but welcoming towards them, and if they had properly explained to them what their agenda was- which you do if you want people to trust you, I'm convinced he would have given it to them.
But no, it's easier to act like you want to screw him and gain his trust with sob stories and flirting and whatnot and then just steal the book from him, nearly kicking the bucket in the process.
And why is he still angry in ACOWAR? Because he has the right to be! If someone came to your home and acted like your friend, and then stole one of the most valuable, if not the most valuable thing you own. Would you not be angry? Even if they helped you after, in another situation.
And let's be real, if this happened to the NC, whoever would have stolen from them in that hypothetical situation, would've ended up being vilified for the rest of the series.
Tarquin "insulting" Feyre is btw the following exchange:
This is the first time Tarquin speaks in acowar. Honestly? This is hardly insulting. This is literally stating facts. It's not talking down or belittling, he's just pointing out the consequences of what she canonically did.
And side note: Pretty sure he doesn't want Feyfey after that stunt she pulled.
In general, acting like Tarquin is whipped for her is pretty delulu. I'm not gonna deny that he may have found her attractive during maf, before she went "burglar" on him, but after that? No way.

He is perfect in every way. And he deserved way better. I still don’t know how he forgave those mfs after they stole from him. He didn’t deserve to be taken advantage of like that and it’s even sadder when you think about the fact that he’s the youngest and just trusts people way too easily.
Dandin: I know this is going to sound sarcastic, but this is a great plan and I’m really impressed with you guys.
Mariel:
Tarquin:
Mariel: Don’t listen to him, this is a great plan.
Tarquin: There are some things beyond our understanding. We must accept them and learn from them. Because these moments of crisis are also potential moments of faith. A time, when we either come together or fall apart. Nature always has a way of balancing itself. The only question is, what part will we play? Mariel: Did you just make that up? Tarquin: No. I read it in a fortune cookie once. Mariel: Tarquin: A really long fortune cookie.
Mariel: Okay, Tarquin, you sign whatever Rosie puts in front of you because you are the luckiest person in the world. If you let her go, there is no way you’d ever find another girl like her. Speaking on behalf of all woman, it will not happen, we had a meeting.
Mariel: You know, I blame Gabool for this. And Tarquin, I blame him too. Tarquin: What did I do? Mariel: I’m sure you did something.
Tarquin: I sent you letters but never heard back.
Rosie: Weird. I never got both of your letters.
Tarquin, to Rosie: I don’t know how to flirt but I can make things awkward if you're into that
