wanna post my theory before Elain's book is here
I know people say Feysand is Hades x Persephone, but NO. Wrong. They're Beauty and the Beast as well. Rhys is literally described as having a beast mode/version/side. People are scared of him. He's misunderstood, etc. And because these are retellings, some things are changed. Like for instance, Rhys teaches HER to read, the way Belle taught the Beast to read in the Disney version (I can't recall if they do that in the original fairytale).
I think Tamlin x Feyre were the BatB fairytale retelling, and Feysand were more the Disney BatB retelling.
Hades kidnaps Persephone in the original story. Rhys tells her he wants her to come to the Night Court as part of her deal. You know who else makes a deal to stay with them? Belle and the Beast.
And yes, Rhys takes her away from Tamlin, but that's literally the only similarity to Hades x Persephone they have. Feyre was never spring-like to be Persephone, but who is?
ELAIN.
Elain is actually going to be the Persephone retelling. She is SPRING and where is she? In the Night Court, aka The Underworld, and ope, who is the male she likes? Azriel. Hades kidnaps Persephone and makes a deal to keep her in the Underworld. I don't think Az is obviously going to "kidnap" Elain, he doesn't need to, but I do think some sort of deal will be made, finally ending any sort of tie of her to Lucien and breaking the mating bond (because let's be honest, everyone and their mate getting together is boring af and is honestly why I'm kinda eh about all the mate reveals in her books now but I digress). Also Az's personality fits Hades much more than Rhys did. Hades has been written as a quiet, reserved introvert who likes to stay in the "shadowy darkness of his realm". Does that sound like Rhys or Az? I mean. It's right there, really.
Now the other retelling was Snow White and The Seven Dwarves, and other than a total crack explanation that Nesta went through several men before finding her prince, aka Cassian, (they did say her mother wanted a prince for her and Cassian was referred to as the Prince of Bastards so....?) it's hard for me to really place them as Snow White, but there wasn't another retelling in the first three.
People say oh three brothers, three sisters, so boring. And everyone and their mate getting together is what? Not boring? Not easy? I would LOVE for someone to finally break the mating bond and say yeah no, I don't want you.
Possibly hot take: Nessian would have been 100000000x better if they didn't turn out to be mates. The reveal at first was like WHAT. And then like five seconds later, I was like, "ope, wait. I hate this."

Big vent about my "career" so warningg lol
I'm really concerned about my future as an artist and having an art major. I don't know what to do or if it'll be worth it in the end. I'm clinging onto the hope that the experience I get will help me in the future but I really don't know and I hate being in that state of uncertainty. I've seen a mix but more negative experiences of art schools and it really has me worried. Such an expensive price for an art school, but is it worth it? Will I really waste a bunch of money and time in art school for nothing? I'm aware an art degree is pretty much worthless. And I don't know how to get myself out there. Idk what I have to do. Sometimes I just think about getting a job and spending whatever free time I have doing whatever I want instead of pursuing an art school. Sometimes I think about changing my major but I have no idea what else I want to do and worry that it's already too late for me to change it. With the increasing use of ai, I fear that my skills and years of experiences will be replaced, and I will have no place in the art field in the future. I just don't know.

i promised myself i wouldn't get pulled back in to miraculous, but i did watch the first ep of season 5 so lemme just type out my feelings about sentiadrien even tho it isn't technically canon yet.
i still hate it because it makes adrien super disposable, but it also creates a little loophole for the whole "things must stay in balance" karmic life-for-a-life wish thing. if gabe gets his wish and uses (senti)adrien's life as collateral to bring back emilie, he can then just use the peacock miraculous to sentimonster adrien back into existence. the same exact adrien. because this show has purposely erased all common sense limits on magic--we saw this last season with alya declaring that ladybug could make anti-akuma charms because she is the limit of her own power and then again when gabe decided to make mega akumas. if you can dream it, you can do it! so that means infinite sentiadriens if you want (wellll, 1 per person unless we want to throw out that rule as well because maybe if we dream hard enough that limit also goes away). who's to say that's not the exact same adrien? reformed from the same exact molecules with all the same memories and personality? it's limitless magic! anything's possible and adrien is literally disposable!
the result? both the whole "oooh nooo sentimonsters can get snapped out of existence! so precious and delicate" thing and the whole point of the karmic force of the wish are just thrown out the window too because nothing matters. ¯\_ (ツ)_/¯

I want to start making this comic so bad, but I know with how the way I am at the moment, the way I've been for the past 6-7 years, that I will abandon it and fuck it up or whatever. I can only fail at completing so many things before I simply stop trying so I am far too scared to actually try
