The term “deserve” and how it’s used in this fandom never stopped making me sick.
“But Elain doesn’t deserve Lucien or Azriel. They deserve someone better than her”. Ok, so who? Cuz I know, I know that you say that just because Elain is a more soft feminine “boring” character that you don’t like and you want them to be paired up with the same old female warrior and have a basic “epic love story”.
Like who gave you the right to decide what a character deserves? And why things like this always happens in the Elain/Azriel/Lucien situation? The term “deserve” is so vague cuz at the end of the day, you don’t make this kind of choices. Just say you hate Elain Archeron and go.
And the thing that bothers me the most is the fact that Elain is always erased from these discussions. Let’s focus on what Elain wants and what she choses for herself. Many people don’t take in consideration that Elain wants Azriel too. He’s the man that she wants and that’s brushed off? Excuse me? You think she has to give Lucien a chance... why? She’s uncomfortable around him. She doesn’t even want to be near him. Drop the act and say you don’t want elriel happening and move on.
You guys need to start having better reasons for hating Elain (or not shipping elriel), reasons that actually make some sense. Better that “she’s boring”, better than “she’s a damsel in distress” and better than to ship her with any other character in the series but Azriel. Do something fucking different.
