proof taylor swift wrote tolerate it about feyre archeron; a thread
"I sit and watch you reading with your head low,
I wake and watch you breathing with your eyes closed."

"He never woke when the nightmares dragged me from sleep; never woke when I vomited my guts up night after night. If he knew or heard, he said nothing about it." (acomaf)
"I sit and watch you,
I notice everything you do or don't do."

"I looked to the black rock throne beside her, and my arms buckled beneath me. His eyes didn't widen; his mouth didn't tighten. No claws, no fangs. He just stared at me, unfeeling--unmoved. Unimpressed." (acotar)
"You're so much older and wiser."

"Tamlin didn't look much older than me, but his kind was immortal. He could be hundreds of years old. My mouth dried up as I carefully studied their strange, masked faces--unearthly, primal, and imperious. Like immovable gods." (acotar)
"I wait by the door like I'm just a kid."

"When I'd asked her to explain what to anticipate, she merely said that Tamlin would take care of everything. I should watch from his side, and observe. Easy enough--and perhaps a relief, not to be expected to speak or act." (acomaf)
"Use my best colors for your portrait."

I sometimes debated asking her to pray for me as well. To pray that I'd one day learn to love the dresses, and the parties, and my role as a blushing, pretty bride." (acomaf)
"Lay the table with the fancy shit."

"I hated the bright dresses that had become my daily uniform, but didn't have the heart to tell Tamlin--not when he'd bought so many, not when he looked so happy to see me wear them." (acomaf)
"And watch you tolerate it."

"Tamlin had only returned the night before to oversee today's Tithe. I tried not to take it personally, not when he had so much on his shoulders. Even if he wouldn't tell me much about it beyond what Ianthe had mentioned." (acomaf)
"If it's all in my head, tell me now.
Tell me I've got it wrong somehow."

"I forced my gaze up to Tamlin, his head high. So unaware of the true extent of how broken and dark I was inside. How unfit I was to be clothed in white when my hands were so filthy." (acomaf)
"I know my love should be celebrated,
But you tolerate it."

"And I realized--I realized how badly I'd been treated before, if my standards had become so low. If the freedom I'd been granted felt like a privilege and not an inherent right." (acomaf)
"I greet you with a battle hero's welcome."

"There was so much I wanted to ask him, but--later.
'I missed you,' he said between kisses. 'I went out of my mind.' That was all I needed to hear. Until--
'I need to ask you some questions.'
'Later.'
'No--now.'" (acomaf)
"I take your indiscretions all in good fun."

"He was the High Lord--my High Lord. He was the shield and defender of his people. Of me. If keeping me safe meant that his people could continue to hope, that he could do the same... I could bow to him on this one thing." (acomaf)
"I sit and listen.
I polish plates until they gleam and glisten."

"'You think I don't know that? But does he honestly expect me to spend the rest of my life in that manor, overseeing servants and wearing pretty clothes?'
'Isn't that what all human women wish for?'" (acomaf)
"You're so much older and wiser."

"I had no words in my head, my heart. Giving Tamlin time, letting him adjust... It was the least I could do." (acomaf)
"I wait by the door like I'm just a kid."

"I began shaking, but for me, for us, I made myself say, 'Tamlin--Tamlin, I can't... I can't live my life with guards around me day and night. I can't live with that suffocation. Just let me help you--let me work with you.'" (acomaf)
"Use my best colors for your portrait."

"'You've given enough, Feyre.'
Perhaps he was right. And perhaps I didn't have anything left to give, anyway."(acomaf)
"Lay the table with the fancy shit."

"'He will do everything in his power to protect you from that danger again, even if it means keeping secrets, even if it means sticking to rules you don't like. In this, he will not bend. So don't ask him to--not yet.'" (acomaf)
"And watch you tolerate it."

"'What do you want?' I hissed. 'An apology? For me to crawl back into your bed and play nice, little wife?'" (acowar)
"If it's all in my head, tell me now."

"The fading sun was too hot, the garden too hedged in. As inescapable as the vow I was about to make, binding me to him forever, shackling him to my broken and weary soul." (acomaf)
"Tell me I've got it wrong somehow."

"I was going to fall apart, right there, right then--and they'd see precisely how ruined I was." (acomaf)
"I know my love should be celebrated,
But you tolerate it."

"If I hadn't been already in love with him, I might have loved him for that--for not insisting I stay, even if it drove his instincts mad, for not locking me away in the aftermath of what happened yesterday." (acomaf)
"While you were out building other worlds, where was I?"

"Tamlin was away more often than not, and whenever he'd returned, he didn't tell me anything. I'd long since stopped pestering him for answers.
Some days I didn't speak to anyone at all." (acomaf)
"Where's that man who'd throw blankets over my barbed wire?"

"A protector--that's who he was, and would always be. What I had wanted when I was cold and hard and joyless; what I had needed to melt the ice of bitter years on the cusp of starvation." (acomaf)
"I made you my temple, my mural, my sky."

"I had done everything--everything for that love. I had ripped myself to shreds, I had killed innocents and debased myself, and he had sat beside Amarantha on that throne.” (acomaf)
"Now I'm begging for footnotes in the story of your life."

"'What will everyone call me, then? Is everyone just going to call me Tamlin's wife? Do I get a... title? I don't know if I can handle them calling me High Lady.'
'There is no such thing as a High Lady.'" (acomaf)
"Drawing hearts in the byline."

"'It's fine,' I breathed. 'I understand.'
Not a lie, but not quite truth." (acomaf)
"Always taking up too much space or time."

"I didn't have the nerve to wonder what I wanted or needed now. Who I had become." (acomaf)
"You assume I'm fine, but what would you do if I..."

"'I'm drowning,' I managed to say. 'I'm drowning. And the more you do this, the more guards... You might as well be shoving my head under the water.'
Nothing in those eyes, that face." (acomaf)
"I break free and leave us in ruins?"

"The sun was shining when I left you." (acowar)
"Took this dagger in me and removed it?"

"'It's strange,' I murmured. 'This feeling, this excitement to wake up every day. To see you, and to work here, and to just be here.'
Nearly a year ago, I'd told him the opposite. Wished for the opposite." (acofas)
"Gain the weight of you then lose it."

"I had become wraith-thin while living here after Amarantha. Yet for all Rhys had done to harm me, I'd gained back the weight I'd lost, put on muscle, and discarded the sickly pallor in favor of sun-kissed skin." (acowar)
"Believe me, I could do it"

"I was not a pet, not a doll, not an animal.
I was a survivor, and I was strong.
I would not be weak, or helpless again. I would not, could not be broken. Tamed." (acomaf)
