#I've been seeing this going down since a couple days before acosf came out

[abruisedmuse]

Please dont put a blame just on Elriels, I know we see what we like, but Gwynriels have bullied a lot of Elriel artists, some artist even took their work down if I remember correctly.

I guess you see other art than I do, but under Elriel art a lot of comments are from Gwynriels how its the wrong ship or other rude comments.

Even under the latest sjm post on instagram, which isnt conected with acotar, there are comments from BOTH Elriels and Gwynriels about the ships...

So both sides are to blame.

I know that I am probably in a nice elriel corner, but I havent seen Gwyn hate, or people saying how they want Gwyn to die (I am sure there are some such people.) But because of the ship war a lot of people want Elain to be dead and the same people love Nesta or Feyre, which is really ridiculous, because they would both be devasted if something happened to Elain.

We probably wont know for sure which ship - if any - will be canon for quite some time, so we just need to learn to leave peacfully with each other.

First, I truly appreciate you in my askbox and not being argumentative. Thank you for that nonnie. It's a breath of fresh air.

You are right. There's negative shippers on both ends. There always will be in every single fandom. The nasty comments will happen. I don't condone that behavior. As I stated in my other post, to my acknowledgment I only knew of one major instant and that is all. I'm sure there are others. Like I said I dont associate with them. I'm sorry to those individuals who've been bullied.

I am also speaking from my view of things since acosf and the Az POV. At first, the Gwynriels were just in this little bubble. The Elriels kept poking. Hell I was a fanon Elriel shipper. The second I announced I couldn't bring myself to ship it even in fanon, I lost followers and a mutual I adored blocked me. I was not controversial at all. Simply stating this I'm leaving the ship behind. I've seen nasty anons sent to friends because they don't ship it. I've had nasty responses from people in replies on various posts for being an elucien and a gwynriel and how blind I am for not seeing Elriel. People being argumentative for absolutely no reason except me expressing thoughts. Combine that with the aggressiveness some of the Elriels have displayed and you see where I'm coming from. There's also the issue that some of the Elriels, don't do this to Gwynriels alone. They attack Eluciens too and have been for some time.

On that note there are some good Elriels out there. I know there is. My post wasn't about them. It was about the problematic ones.

You probably are in a nice corner nonnie and stay that way ❤! Trust me I've seen the hate. Some people don't believe she's as nice as she seems. Others who think she's some evil lightsinger. It's certain shippers dragging her down to make Elriel look better. Similar to dragging down Lucien. Both of these red headed babies don't deserve that.

On to Elain, I haven't seen this but I don't doubt it's happening. I know there's some who don't like Elain citing her as boring, she was a bitch in acosf, because she hasn't done anything, whatever the case. Again absolutely right Nonnie! If anything happened to Elain, Nesta and Feyre both would be heartbroken so would Lucien if we're being honest. Do I understand the "she hasn't done anything" argument? Yes. I was hoping she would of have done something in acosf and I was disappointed when she didn't. But Elain doesn't deserve all the hate she gets. SJM is cooking up something big with her and Lucien. She's been more open with everyone but those two and my only conclusion is because they're both major plot points and walking spoilers.

I must disagree on the ships. I think acosf clearly set up the future ships. Once SJM confirms the two MCs for the next book we will know book 5 and possibly book 6 ships.

I'd love it if everyone stayed in their lanes. If the Elriels stuck to Elriel, Gwynriels to Gwynriels. Someone has to always, always add their two cents in and then things spiral. I'm old anon and I've seen this happen hundreds of times. Good thing is in a few months it should die down. It won't stop but it won't be as bad. Trust me, it definitely sucks this whole thing has gotten so bad.

My suggestion to you anon, is to just stay in your happy corner. You will be better off ❤ if you'd like to talk Elain or Gwyn my inbox is open. I'm just not the person to talk positively about Elriel.
