I feel like a lot of people focus on Nesta’s reaction to Gwynriel’s relationship once they go public. Maybe Nesta threatens Az to keep her girl safe. Maybe she tears up with joy for her BFFs. Maybe she’s speechless because she didn’t see it coming. And so on. But no one ever talks about how Cassian will react other than the obligatory joy and merciless teasing. “Surely he’s going to take revenge for Az’s disruptive chaperoning!”
Except… I don’t think that’s quite right for Cassian. He’s watched his brother pine after their mutual friend for 500 years. He feels incredibly guilty for sleeping with Mor just because he was jealous of Az’s crush. He’s been acting as a buffer in a fucked up situation that only ended recently. He knows how desperately lonely Az is. How much Az wants to find love. How fragile Az’s heart is despite his broody spymaster exterior.
I like to imagine that Cassian finds Gwyn in the Library, asking for a private word. He’s happy for them, of course, but he asks Gwyn for a favor. Cassian explains that he will support whatever Gwyn wants in this relationship, whether it’s being with Az or breaking up if she’s unhappy. All he asks is that Gwyn be gentle with Az’s heart and devotion, especially when it comes to ending things. Just… be careful not to shatter his heart.
Everyone assumes that Az can withstand any pain or blow. But Cassian knows better. Everyone else is worried for Gwyn in this relationship, but only Cassian is worried for Azriel. 💔🥺

Elriels suggesting that shipping Gwyn with Azriel is disrespectful to real SA victims is without a doubt the worst take I have ever seen in my life lol
“Stop shipping Gwyn with ANY man without her consent”
LMFAO WHAT SHE AINT REAL 😭 how tf do I get her consent?? Do I need a permission slip from SJM??

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

SJM is known to give her MCs powerful lines ... you know which other character apart from Manon was introduced in the middle of a series only to be given numerous impactful lines ... You guessed it right .... our very own Gwyneth Berdara!!! We all know how popular Manon is and how relevant she was to the series , if Gwyns start has been this impactful and obviously she has a HUGE fanbase already she will only grow 100 times more in popularity after the next book
Here is the collection of all the amazing Gwyneth Berdara Quotes
Signifying inner strength ....
Tumblr media
Signifying her ability to accept herself and her her friends for who they are and what they have been through....
Tumblr media
Signifying her ability to hope and question...
Tumblr media
Signifying her Will....
Tumblr media
Signifying her emotional intelligence ....
Tumblr media
Signifying her values in life....
Tumblr media
Signifying her loyalty....
Tumblr media
Signifying her ability to question and challenge...
Tumblr media
Gwynriel is happening and it's very obvious that SJM fleshed Gywns character and gave her the significance for that very reason ... she had one book to introduce her and convince her readers ... I think the author just smashed the brief out of the park 😍

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.

I’ve come to conclusion through what I’ve observed is most people who are Gwynriel shippers are the ones who went into ACOSF because they were interested in Nesta and found the ship pleasantly surprising.
Something we weren’t expecting. The neutral ones who didn’t really have much opinion on Elain and Azriel. So when this amazing female character came in and was hinted as someone of significance to Azriel, we were instantly sold.
While after hearing the theories people who shipped Elriel came to read the books they were of course left disappointed. They expected some downright confession. Which is hilarious because this book is about Nesta.
I guess my point is. Don’t go in ACOSF thinking there is any justification for whom Azriel has feelings for. That man is himself in a state of confusion.

Why would I ship Azriel with someone who makes him feel like this
She looked up at him, her face so trusting and hopeful and open that he knew she had no idea that he had done unspeakable things that sullied his hands far beyond their scars. Such terrible things that it was a sacrilege for his fingers to skin, tainting her with his presence. 
when he doesnt feel that way about Gwyn?
He slowly demonstrated, rotating his wrist where she did. "You see how you open up right here?” He corrected his position. “Keep your wrist like that. The blade is an extension of your arm."   Gwyn tried the movement as slowly as he had, and he watched her self-correct, fighting against the urge to open up her wrist and rotate the blade
And why would I ship Elain with someone who treats her like this:
Amren said, “We do not have the time to wait for Nesta to decide. I say we approach Elain tomorrow. Better to have both of them working on it.” Azriel stiffened, an outright sign of temper from him as he said quietly, “There is an innate darkness to the Dread Trove that Elain should not be exposed to.”
when Az treats Gwyn like this:
“There are plenty of other unspeakable things that could be happening to her,” Cassian said, voice thickening. “To Emerie and Gwyn.” The shadows deepened around Azriel, his Siphons gleaming like cobalt fire. “You—we—trained them well, Cassian. Trust in that. It’s all we can do.”

The audacity of people demanding that Gwyn not be shipped with anyone because it makes them uncomfortable. And not just Gwyn but all women who have not shown romantic interest in someone.
Seriously, what the fuck is that nonsense.
She is not real. Her life isn’t real. Her feelings are not real. None of it is real.
Don’t ship her with anyone if you don’t want to. Look at that. Problem solved.
She can be shipped with whoever, whatever and whenever anyone wants because it is not real.
Are they looking for ways to suck all the fun out of everything?
And have they been to the internet? Cuz damn if they only knew half the shit people ship out there. It ain’t pretty but everyone has a right to ship what they please. And they don’t owe anyone any justification.

E/riels brag about how Azriel gave Elain Truth-teller as if she takes it everywhere with herself, polish and sharpen the blade daily and hugs it while she sleeps.
Y'all know she gave it back, right?
Just like she returned the necklace as well.

I know you have the theory that Fionn and Enalius might be mates, but I was wondering if maybe the priestess Oleanna, who dipped the Starsword into the cauldron, and Enalius could be. It could be foreshadowing for Gwyn and Azriel 👀
Hello Anon,
Yes one of my very dear friends came up with this headcanon .... And it was when I was talking about Fionn and Enalius ... And I think her headcanon has more parallels to Gywnriel
Please Note at this stage it is a crack theory and headcanon alone ....
We know Priestess Oleana was the one who gave Gwydion its power by dipping it in the Cauldron and it was Enalius who wielded Truth Teller ....
What if Priestess Oleana and Enalius were mates who couldn't be together in their previous life .... what if Azriel and Gwyn are basically Enalius and Oleana Reborn to find each in a different life.... it would be so poetic... them finding their mate to get another chance to spend their life with each other.
I for one absolutely loved the headcanon and I know I am going to scream if it happens but as it stands its not really backed by any Canon info . Also, it would lean in to the headcanon that Gwydion might call to Gwyn ...

It’s weird to me how other than Tumblr, there is not many videos in other social media platforms regarding Gwynriel. Can anyone tell me why? And even if there is, it’s always an Elriel post. Idk why even use that tag.

When SJM chose to point out this:
Tumblr media
And then a few pages later in the same chapter she chose to point this out: (It is Gwyn’s breath)
Tumblr media
I knew that Gwynriel was endgame.
