Gwyn being argued as some enchantress that manipulates Azriel and his Shadows has been the worst theory to come from this fandom EVER.. and I’ve been with this series since the beginning(2015)
Trying to find any crumb of a flaw from this courageous, empathetic, and positive character has made me so upset about the fandom. It is making elriels seem like they are crumbling under themselves.
Resorting to calling Gwyn a manipulator because you cannot BELIEVE that Azriel would EVER have a positive reaction to Gwyn is desperate beyond reason. If you actually think that Sarah J Maas will have a character like Gwyn become some evil enchantress or manipulator, then you don’t know her as an author at all. Gwyn has inspired THOUSANDS in the fandom. Her story might even be the most horrific one that sjm has ever written. Her ability to overcome trauma, be so positive, and even begin the entire Valkyries again will leave a long lasting impact in the entire series. If you think for one second that sjm will ruin the entire beauty that is Gwyneth Berdara, you’re again very wrong.
The fact that Gwynriel’s could easily say the same thing about Elain’s unknown powers and how Azriel could be manipulated by them. But we don’t say that because we understand that they are attracted to eachother. We acknowledge that they have a natural connection. But we also recognize that their attraction for eachother are for the wrong reasons. We understand how sjm closes the aspect of a couple and that’s what she did in the bonus chapter.
As someone who has literally seen it all, has been gaslit for saying feysand was endgame before ACOMAF, this by FAR is the worst theory that anyone could say about an ACOTAR character. This is the worst take and it really shows me how quick some people in the fandom are to tear apart another woman. It’s disgusting and desperate.
Elriels come talk to me when you actually have a concrete theory, instead of your gross wish that Gwyn is evil

Gwyn Bedara 🤝 Azriel Shadowsinger
They both sing. They both spy.
They both are highly competitive.
They both are warriors: Illyrian 🤝 Valkyries
They both seem to enjoy training with daggers/swords.
They both train at night when almost everyone else is asleep. Which ties into them both having insomnia.
They both are associated with Blue stones (Invoking and Siphons)
They both participated in & completed the Blood Rite and gained titles of Carynthian.
They both have feelings of unworthiness.
They both have experienced trauma at the hands of others.
They both will put themselves in danger to ensure the safety of others.
With all of this...how can you not see them as endgame? Especially given "like calls to like" in Sarah's books.

✨✨Friendly Reminder✨✨
DISCLAIMER: This is no hate to Elain, I don’t hate her, I do like her. Take your shit elsewhere. The question was kinda dumb…imo at least.
Gwyn got Azriel to reveal something PERSONAL when he admitted that he could in fact sing. Versus Elain Archeron and her “can you truly fly?” Thats the big deal. We learned something NEW from a question Gwyn asked vs. a duh kinda question from Elain.
Tumblr media
Also tell me you don’t know what a Shadowsinger is without telling us. Being a Shadowsinger isn’t anything to do with singing, it’s a type of fae. Please put the books down and step away from them cause girliepop 😳 no he’s never mentioned that he can sing, unless….are you claiming he did it OFF PAGE? 🤭…and while we are on the topic of off page….
Tumblr media
sweetheart off page means it wasn’t WRITEN in the book. Like in ACOSF we know the boys had their snowball fight, Cassian tells us it happened, Azriel tells us it happened but we never see it on page. On page we see it happen on page. Like Nesta’s slumber party with Emerie and Gwyn, it’s actual text we can READ. Bless your heart. 🫶🏻

i know canonically azriel and cassian made a whole list of things the valkyries did wrongly during the blood rite BUT my head canon is when gwyn recounts how she kept to the trees for days & nights to simply observe everything and how she lured the beasts out to maul/eat the illyrians…. az looks at her with admiration and pride because of all the spymaster traits she exhibited 🥲

I saw this in a comment on Reddit & loved it so much that I just had to share it (with a few minor tweaks of my own)
Here's my thoughts on the necklace:
While it was tacky of Azriel to regift something (particularly a necklace) that he got for another woman.... he did so anonymously and just as a nice gesture. He didn't want to keep the necklace (which is understandable given it was a clear rejection on Elain part) and it showed that there was no real feelings attached to it, and more than likely no real feelings towards Elain as well given it was so easily regiftable.
I feel like the necklace was more so a metaphor Sarah used to show us the transition from Elain to Gwyn for Azriel, especially with how the bonus scene ends. I think that part is really important given what goes on there. He leaves the encounter with something sparking in his chest and an image comes to mind of Gwyn teal eyes lighting up upon receiving it. He then has to consciously erase the smile it brings to his face and he tucks that thought deep down where to glows quietly. A thing of secret, lovely beauty (which is ironically in the necklace description itself). He leaves that Clotho encounter thinking of another woman's eyes lighting up and it's joy that thought brings him, not negative feelings like how he had with his interaction with Elain.
This is why I think Sarah is going to keep Elain with Lucien and Gwyn is a new character that was introduced for Azriel. Because there was no need to include Gwyn and the transfer of the necklace if Elain wasn't going to end up with her mate, Lucien.
Gwyn was there at the end because she is Azriel true endgame. That's the true purpose of the bonus chapter and the necklace. It was to show and point us to Azriel true endgame. Not to set up a "forbidden romance" that would be the detriment to two characters, but to show us who would truly bring Azriel joy in the long run.

Azriel: you did WHAT
Gwyn: oh just drop it
Azriel: you could’ve got badly hurt
Gwyn: *rolling eyes*
Gwyn: but I didn’t, that’s the whole point
Azriel: stop acting like it was nothing
Gwyn: it was nothing
Azriel: oh yeah? then I’m telling Nesta
Gwyn: *eyes wide* you wouldn’t

So, my friend @hlizr50 posted this lovely art during Gwynriel week and it inspired an idea that's been rolling around in my head until I finally spit it out in Word tonight. So, don't mind any typos or grammar, I did exactly zero editing 😅 Enjoy!
793 words
A distinctly masculine yelp called the entire training ring’s attention to the far end where Gwyn was…. Hanging from the Shadowsinger’s back… side? It was hard to tell from this angle. All Cassian knew for sure was Gwyn’s coppery head was much higher than it should be, and her feet were wrapped somewhere around Az’s middle, rather than on the ground. His brother stumbled at the sudden shift in weight, his wings flaring wide.
As Cassian watched, Az managed to pry one of Gwyn’s legs from around his torso but she quickly scrambled around his body, repositioning herself until she had somehow draped her body across the back of his neck, one of his arms grasped between hers, the other between her thighs.
“Son of a-” Az’s words cut off with a growl as he again attempted to free himself from her hold. He could hear Gwyn snarl at him to yield, which of course Azriel refused- as he should. He wasn’t defeated yet.
But cauldron, did they look ridiculous. 
Nesta and Emerie appeared at this side, wearing amused looks as they watched their friend make a proper fool out of the famed Spymaster. “What do you even call that hold?” Emerie asked with a snort as Azriel’s wings bent and stretched, trying to stabilize him while he worked to get free.
“I think it’s called a Nelson?” Cassion shrugged trying not to laugh as Gwyn “accidentally” kicked Az’s wing, drawing another strangled yelp from him. “But I’ve never seen it done like that…’ 
He finally loosed a grin as an idea came to him. Focusing his mind, he called out to Rhys, hoping his brother was paying attention wherever he was in the city. A moment later, a smooth voice spoke in his mind “Yes, Cassian?”
“You gotta see this.”
Rhys gave an intrigued hum. “Is that so?” There was a brush at his mind and Cassian opened a small window for his brother to see through his eyes. 
Just then. Az managed to find a ticklish spot behind Gwyn’s knee, loosening her hold with a squeal. Before he could pull her off of him completely, however, she scrambled around again, somehow hooking one leg around his back, one over his shoulder, ankles locked together, and both hands wrapped behind his neck.
This time the shift of weight unbalanced him entirely, sending him to his knees… Gwyn still hanging from his neck.
Cassian couldn’t help a chuckle then as a matching one sounded in his mind. He felt a pause on Rhys’ end before he felt another presence in his mind. “Oh my,” Feyre giggled. “How did she get up there?”
“I don’t know, I heard a shout and turned around to find her hanging off him. Everytime he manages to get an arm free, she moves and traps him again,” Cassian laughed. “We might want to consider ear plugs for the poor priestesses, Az’s been cursing up a storm the last couple minutes.”
Az wedged a hand beneath the thigh wrapped over his shoulder- dangerously high- and Nesta whistled. “You usually have to pay to get that handsy, Shadowsinger. Watch it!”
The hand quickly disappeared with a frustrated growl, and Gwyn, the cheek, laughed merrily at his predicament. From the corner of his eye, Cassian caught sight of Mor and Amren perched on lounge chairs, watching the show. How and when they had gotten here, he wasn’t sure. But they were turning his training ring into theater and he should probably say something, but he was too entertained by the spectacle.
After a few more moments of struggling - each attempt at tickling Gwyn now resulted in her thrashing about and shrieking, battering Az’s poor wings even further, even as she clung to him like a magnet- until finally, Az’s wings drooped with a sigh. 
“Do you yield?” Gwyn asked cautiously, still holding tight. There was a mumble and then- “What was that? I couldn’t hear you?”
“Yes, I yield. Gods damn it.”
Immediately, Gwyn dropped to the ground, rolling numbly from underneath him and springing to her feet with a triumphant crow. Nesta and Emerie burst out laughing while the other priestesses rushed over to congratulate Gwyn on besting the Symaster. Mor, who apparently wanted more of a show, booed loudly and tossed popcorn in Az’s direction, which Cassian had no idea how she’d gotten.
“Is he- blushing?” Feyre asked.
Sure enough, Az had slunk off to the side of the ring, his cheeks pink as he gingerly rubbed his shoulder. His shadows, which had been dancing around him and Gwyn throughout the entire bout, not interfering, now twirled in the air behind him. If he didn’t know better, Cass would think they were laughing. “Yes, Darling, I think he is.”

Sexy Gwynriel Headcanon
I figured I'd write this for you all enjoy ahead of Gwynriel Week. I hope you enjoy it! 😉
Azriel is on his knees before Gwyn (the only woman he will ever get on his knees for) as she's loosely tied up to the headboard with the ribbon and shadows.
He leans in to bring her pleasure with his mouth as his hands reach up to fondle her breasts.
She feels safe, despite being tied down, because with the scars on his hands it reminds her it's Azriel who is the one wringing the pleasure from her.
She also knows she can break free at anytime as the shadows move to softly caress her body and Azriel continue his exquisite, pleasurable torture.
He whispers "Good Girl" as she comes apart beneath him and moans with absolute pleasure at the taste of her.
He then slides up the bed to untie the ribbon and wrap her in his arms. She softly drifts to sleep as he sings a song to her. He looks down and smiles at the peaceful look on her face and drifts off to sleep himself with contentment and love settling inside of him with his arms wrapped around Gwyn. 💖

This behavior is absolutely disgusting. All over fictional characters and a difference of opinion. And what’s WORSE is that they never take accountability, then never condemn, they never speak out against it. They turn around and point fingers like this. EVERYTIME. Know right now if I EVER got wind of anyone I talked to talking like this to ANYONE that block button would be used. Elain would be disgusted with every single one of you, more importantly Sarah would be.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
She doesn’t post the @ because we all know what they would do. They’d accuse her of sending people to harass whoever this is, they accuse her of starting a witch hunt. So I understand why she blocks the names. Make no mistake if it was me, and I got that kind of message, your name would be visible for the world to see your disgusting behavior. Not like it would matter, because it all comes from burner accounts anyway like the one before.

This has probably been pointed out before but i’d like to reiterate it 😀
Regarding Azriel’s ‘unbothered’ reaction towards finding out that Gwyn got thrown into the Blood Rite….. Can we just agree that Cassian was not a reliable narrator at that particular point of time?
When the IC gathered at Emerie’s wrecked place:
Cassian couldn’t breathe. Hadn’t been able to breathe or speak for long minutes now….
They were speaking, Azriel with some urgency, but Cassian didnt hear him, heard nothing but the roaring in his head…
And he could do nothing to interfere, not without damning them all. His hands shook. “So, what- we just sit on our asses for a week and wait?” The idea was abhorrent. Feyre gripped his trembling fingers, squeezing tight. “Did you- Cassian, weren’t you listening at all when we got here?” No, he’d barely heard anything.
Cassian was distraught and in his fucking head at that point of time, bro was STRESSED. Do you think he actually has the mental capacity to take notice of the others’ reactions? I actually felt it was pretty deliberate of Sarah to leave out Azriel’s reactions. Even when Cassian said to Rhys “Winnow me to her. Az, you find Emerie and Gwyn.”, Sarah did not give us anything regarding Azriel’s facial expression, his body language, na-da. Because it would have been a delicate thing to write without giving much away.
And after having a few days to calm the storm in his head, Cassian says to Azriel amidst their spy work, “There are plenty of other unspeakable things that could be happening to her, to Emerie and Gwyn”, Cassian actually took noticed that the shadows deepened around Azriel, his siphons gleaming like cobalt fire. And Azriel, the big bad scary shadowsinger and spymaster of the Night Court actually stutters with his response: “You-we-trained them well, Cassian. Trust in that. It’s all we can do.”
In addition, there’s just a distinct way that Sarah loves to use when writing about her mates: The male never coddles the female. Rhys had faith in Feyre’s abilities when they were under the mountain. And when she joined the IC, he lets her manifest her abilities without worrying and cooing over her. Rowan was so damn strict on Aelin’s training in Heir of Fire, never pulling his punches when they fought with each other. And despite his initial strong protective reaction, Cassian decides to trust Nesta’s abilities to protect herself in the rite after his emotions settle down.
This is exactly why I don’t think the lack of notable reactions that Azriel displayed towards Gwyn being thrown into the rite translate to that he doesn’t care about her or that they are not mates.
*mic drops*

“Azriel slaughtered all of them within moments. He didn’t hesitate. But I could barely move, and when I tried to get up … He gave me his cloak and wrapped me in it."
Tumblr media
Art is by Kloartz
I love how the artist captured this scene. It is heart-wrenchingly beautiful.
And I'm not going to romantize this scene but the fact it's a direct parallel to Lucien giving Elain his cloak after her traumatic event speaks volumes to me.
These two are endgame. No doubt in my mind about that.

Hi. Reminder that canonically Azriel’s siphons flash and he stutters (for the first time in the whole series) when it’s mentioned Gwyn is in danger ✌️ — And this is his reaction when just a few months ago he didn’t consider Gwyn a friend 😏
