#Pro Elain

[lovemyromance]

Happened to bond over ACOTAR with another person I met at work recently. She finished the series a few weeks ago and we were discussing how excited we were that SJM was supposedly writing the next book.

And then, unprompted, this girl says how much she can't wait for Elain & Azriel's love story.

Isn't that crazy? How new readers automatically think Elriel is next?

And then - I got the dreaded question -

"Yeah, I fully expect Elriel to be next - but why are there TikTok's with Azriel & Gwyn together? Is there a book I missed?"

I informed my coworker that, no, actually. All those theories come from a bonus chapter.

She got excited there were bonus chapters and then she proceeded to read all of them that night.

The next day, I get the same question:

"I still don't get why Gwyn & Azriel would be a thing. Azriel was so down bad for Elain in that bonus chapter? Where did this other pairing come from?"

Idk girl. That's what we're all asking 🤷🏻‍♀️

I’m sorry but I do not believe anyone who says they love Lucien and at the same time ship him with Vassa. Why would you ship him with a human he will outlive by centuries? Sjm has made it clear that the mating bond is rare and cherished among fae. And Lucien clearly longs for a relationship with Elain. If you love Lucien so much why don’t you want him to have that epic, fated love? 🤨

#and doesn’t Elain also deserve that epic love? #smh #I know yall are lying #Lucien deserves to be loved by his mate #elucien #pro elucien #elucien supremacy #anti e/riel #anti elriel #anti vassien #lucien vanserra #elain archeron #lucien x elain #elain x lucien #sjm #sarah j maas #acowar #acomaf #acotar #a court of wings and ruin #a court of mist and fury #pro lucien vanserra #pro lucien #pro elain #acosf #acofas #a court of thorns and roses #a court of silver flames #gwynriel #pro gwynriel

But Azriel looked at Elain with pity. Ok, like Hunt with Bryce.

But Elain rejected Azriel’s gift. Ok. Like Nesta with Cassian.

But Elain didn’t look back (when she gave truth-teller to Azriel). Ok. Like Elide with Lorcan.

But Azriel said it was a mistake. Ok. like Aelin with Rowan.

I love parallels.

Thank you for pointing to us all the points in commun that Elriel has with sjm’s other couples.

“Elain isn’t happy in the Night Court.”

Meanwhile, Elain:

“Elain, who would not eat, or speak, or do anything at all. Elain, who had somehow become the adjusted one.”

“Tending to the gardens of Feyre’s veritable palace on the river, helping other residents of Velaris restore their own destroyed gardens—she had purpose and joy, and friends: those two half-wraiths who worked in Rhysand’s houshold.”

“She glowed with good health. Except … her brown eyes were wary. Usually that look was reserved for Lucien. The male was definitely in the family room.”

“And then Elain burst out laughing. Howling, half-sobbing laughs that sent her bending over at the waist, gasping for breath.”

sjm chose her words very carefully when she said “elain is a quiet dreamer” in an interview and people still don’t think she’s going to stay in the night court and be part of the court of dreams? girl bye.

#that was in the tags of my last post but it deserved its own post #she’s about to have a ​velaris and dusk court dual residency #elriel #pro elriel #pro elain #elain archeron

Reminder that Sarah doesn’t sit around gushing about matings bonds, but LOVE.

Love conquers all. Not mating bonds.

Don’t worry Elain, Sarah’s got you 🫶🏼

regarding guilty as sin and a certain subsection of the fandom attempting frantically to connect it to their ship, gwyn is a single lady with literally no ties at all what could she possibly be guilty about. and if they did date it wouldn’t be secret trysts it would just be a love story.

yk who does have something to be guilty about? elain. the one with a mate she doesn’t like. & yk what pairing would have secret trysts because their love is literally forbidden, as per rhys, their high lord? elriel.

fuck out of here

I can just imagine Elain and Lucien stuck at an Inn. Lucien is hurt, it is raining, they’re both frustrated. Then it all comes out all at once, all the feelings bottled up after all these years.

“I burn for you. I burn for someone who does not feel the same!”

“You burn for me?” Elain asks, one hand placed over her throat.

“Why do you think I went to find Vassa? With no army, no resources? Completely blind into dangerous territory?” He says in a whisper.

Elain takes a step back, her back hitting the wall, shaking her head in disbelief. “I-”

Lucien lowers his head but takes a step forward, closing in on them. He places a hand on the wall behind them. Elain can feel his heat elapse along his skin.

“I’ve burned for you even before I knew you were my mate. I burned for you when I broke out of those restraints. I’ve burned for you the second I laid my eyes on you.”

There was one single pause, and then Elain felt the tug, his heart, his heat.

“I burn for you.” Elain could not believe she said it, that it finally all came out.

I'm going to say this once, and I am not going to voice this again because the fact that it even has to be said, is absolutely crazy.

Nothing in ACOSF has shown us that Gwyn is ready for a relationship. She can't even leave the library at the end of ACOSF to attend Nessian's mating ceremony. She is probably now even more traumatized after the BR, and rightfully so.

Could she one day be in a relationship with a male/female? Sure. But that time is not now, right after ACOSF.

Right now, she is NOT ready for a relationship with anyone (including Azriel).

Do not get me wrong. If there had been ANY sign she had shown interest romantically in any character - I would not be saying this. But she has not shown that for anyone, let alone for Azriel.

Gwyn is going to eventually heal. But she does not need a man to do so. She does not need to play sidekick to Azriel and help him handle his so called "darkness" to heal.

Y'all can't just force her into a ship when she's clearly not ready for a relationship. Well, I suppose you can, but that would be disrespectful to SA victims everywhere.

Fictional character or not, SA trauma is real. Forcing this timeline of healing on Gwyn or shipping her with someone just so she can "fix him" or suit his "sexual freak" nature is just downright ignorant.

If y'all like Gwynriel because you think the aesthetic is cute or you think they'd compliment each other - that is fine. But this dialogue of Gwyn is gonna fix him and she and Azriel HAVE to be together because some half-baked statement from Azriel's POV - it's so weird.

Stop shipping women with people they have shown no interest in. Same goes for people shipping Elain with Lucien, when she loses her boldness around him and shrinks into herself.

Literally the moment SJM shows Gwyn is ready and likes Azriel or Elain suddenly gives Lucien the time of day out of her own free will, I will fully accept and understand the other ships.

But for now, I am shipping the couple that has actually shown desire and attraction and affection for each other. Just my opinion, and I'm not entertaining any arguments on this.

I really want Elain to save Azriel.

Then he madly kisses her in front of everyone, puts his forehead to hers and is like, “Fuck the Cauldron”.

Spot the difference🔍

"Feyre questioning the cauldron, wondering why Azriel and Elain aren't mates doesn't make her an unreliable narrator."

"Feyre thinking of how if Elain would have worn the gardening gloves Lucien got her and how it would have prevented the rose bushes from hurting her hands makes her an unreliable narrator."

---

"Cassian noticing Elain shrinking away from Lucien does not make him an unreliable narrator."

"Cassian seeing that Azriel is more focused on saving Eris than Nesta and co doesn't make him an unreliable narrator."

"Cassian remarking on Elain looking dreadful in black and how she doesn't fit in the Night Court makes him an unreliable narrator."

Elriel 🌸🗡️

I mentioned that there will be many parallels between Daynight and Elriel before Hofas came out, and indeed, there were parallels, such as the copy pasting of the Elriel bonus scene.

Now Lidia thinking this:

Marriage is permanent beyond even the mating bond, excuse me? doesn't that sound like something Elain would think.

Marriage goes beyond any biological or instinctual bond. It's a conscious choice, your choice to commit, share your life, and become a family with the person you love and have chosen as your partner.

"Love would trump even a mating bond"

"Elain shall wed for love and beauty"

Waiting for the Elriel parallel 🥰

What so many Gw*nriels fail to acknowledge or realize about the whole “shadows dancing for Gwyn” thing (which was ONE shadow curling with her BREATH), is that we never see the shadows react to her again.

The BC happened in the middle of ACOSF, not the end. After that, Azriel continued to help the Valkyries (including Gwyn) train. There was also the entire Blood Rite plot.

And through ALL of that, not once have the shadows ever “danced” for her again. They did not react to her presence at training. They did not react to Gwyn being in danger in the Blood Rite. They’ve done NOTHING for her.

The only time they’ve reacted was with her breath. Not before and not since. And we already know from Nesta that when Gwyn sings Nesta’s power reacts to it, and Gwyn’s presence seems to change/glow.

Only. When. She. Sings.

She’s a lightsinger. Or some sort of siren.

And at first I didn’t understand why so many Gw*nriels were against the lightsinger theory, since it would just make Gwyn cooler/more interesting.

But then I realized without that singular shadow “dancing”, and that somehow being a sign that the shadows ~love~ Gwyn and that her and Az are mates…they really don’t have much. 🤷🏼‍♀️

I bet Papa Archeron met Lucien and thought “wow thank the gods my sweet daughter Elain has such a good and loyal male for a mate. Whatever happens, at least I don’t have to worry about her being taken care of and treated well.”
