#would prefer them posting a random screenshot or something that is clearly a tweet i made 😂 | Explore Tumblr Posts and Blogs

You know, if the Eluciens are going to cling to a grainy screenshot of a deleted Facebook post from 2015 and SJM's deleted Pinterest, then I would like to reintroduce SJM's (now deleted) tweet answering the question of

"Can a person have two mates?"

Now let me be explicitly, excruciatingly clear: I am not trying to say this is exclusively the only proof that Elriel is endgame. There are hundreds of other stronger pieces of evidence from actual canon text that support Elriel. This screenshot is just because I'm annoyed I keep seeing that random ass Elucien Facebook post everywhere being used as Elucien confirmation. I see it used as defense against actual canon evidence for Elriel, instead of people using actual Elucien canon evidence to refute points. Whereas if someone were to ask me to defend an Elriel theory, this screenshot is not even something I would bring up. I would bring up the actual text to cite evidence for Elriel.

Now that we've gotten that lil disclaimer out of the way:

If we're operating of this assumption that in ACOTAR, someone can have two mates, then why can't Azriel be Elain's mate?

He's certainly shown more mate behavior than Lucien has towards Elain.

"I'm getting her back"

"A mate should be able to sense something amiss"

"He would beg on his knees for a taste"

"You can't order me to do that"

Their story might not be front and center yet, but they've definitely had their little moments in the shadows background.

The fact is, SJM has never confirmed Elucien is endgame. She has said she "didn't see them coming" she has said "they will explore nature and grow" but she has never said they are endgame.

And I'm not even saying she needs to explicitly say it, per se, because you can see it reflected clearly in her writing. How can Elucien be endgame if they're literally not even able to be in the same room because how uncomfortable the mating bond makes them?

All I'm saying is, there is plenty of evidence that could support the theory that Azriel is also Elain's mate. And I'm saying this as an Elriel who would actually prefer them not being mates in the end. I'd prefer if they just chose each other, mating bond be damned - but there is certainly enough to warrant the theory that Elain - the cauldrons favorite - could very well have two mates.
