it’s going to be funny when elain & azriel end up together and the antis scream “BUT HIS SHADOWS!!” …the same shadows that lit up at her laugh? that nearly attacked nesta for insulting elain? the ones that handed az her gift? read the book you dopes
WE didn’t romanticize the elriel rescue scene. SJM did. when she wrote “I’m getting her back” twice. when she chose to have azriel rescue her (not lucien). when she had elain devour the sight of him and whisper “you came for me”. her cradling his chest. KISSING. HIS. CHEEK.
“Azriel feels entitled to Elain. He only wants her for sex”
The man has been starting at headache powder every single night for an entire year. Ain’t nobody starting at headache tonic for 365 nights who ain’t falling in love.
it’s 2024 and there’s people that think “his secret to tell, not hers” is about mor…. nesta JUST witnessed elriel share a charged glance minutes earlier.
it’s literally confirmed in the bonus chapter.
“because of the shit with elain?”
azriel stilled. “what happened to elain?”
“you came for me”
“I smiled at the thought- of how handsome they would be together.”
“though she’d probably cling to azriel, just to have some peace and quiet.”
elriels are the most misogynistic and hypocritical group of people i’ve ever seen. constantly trying to belittle and discredit gwyn because you’re insecure of your ship is embarrassing and you’re a shitty person!
“sometimes mates aren’t right for one another”
“mating bonds can be rejected”
“what if the cauldron is wrong”
sjm projective vomiting hints that elain archeron is rejecting that stinky mating bond
“never,” rhys said … “I have never once seen azriel let another person touch that knife.” elain looked up at azriel, their eyes meeting, his hand still lingering on the hilt of the blade.’
claiming that elain archeron is on the same level of hate as ianthe, a literal r*pist…. all because she rejected a man’s gift. oh these people are actually insane.
“sometimes mates aren’t right for one another”
“mating bonds can be rejected”
“what if the cauldron is wrong”
elain archeron in acotar5 once she is finally free:
“I think elain would like it too... though she’d probably cling to azriel, just to have some peace and quiet. I smiled at the thought- at how handsome they would be together”
-feyre mother archeron
ever notice how gwynriels are usually rhys haters too? and that’s everything I need to know bc there’s no way they are reading these books the way the author has intended… like that’s her sweet wonderful RHYSAND👑
It’s 2023 and women are still using the misogynistic “Elain can’t have an Illyrian baby” argument that reduces women to a uterus & a birth canal. It’s so disappointing.
so first they thought it was going to be a gwynriel book. now they think it’s going to be nesta, az and the valkyries😭 how many more times will the goal posts shift until they accept the truth that elain’s book is next?
me remembering when madja said that elain’s mate will know what’s wrong with her, and azriel was the one who realized she was a seer... (not that useless red head)
There’s a difference between a character being boring and a character’s story not yet being told. A difference between a character being underdeveloped, and an author making the clear choice to keep them & their power under wraps until it’s time to tell their story
The amount of misogynistic Elain comments in the SJM facebook group is so disappointing. The tiresome theory that her and Azriel won’t end up together bc she can’t have his kids... Majority of them coming from middle aged soccer moms. Peak 2023 feminism.

Why are you taking this so seriously? It’s a song released in a different time. If people want to still listen and enjoy it, let them.
“never,” rhys said … “I have never once seen azriel let another person touch that knife.” elain looked up at azriel, their eyes meeting, his hand still lingering on the hilt of the blade.”
the sjm interview. bloomsbury posting the article predicting elain's book is next. booktok realizing the gleeriels are toxic swamp donkeys after emily called them out. remembering that azriel would literally beg on his knees for elain. the elriels really are thriving this month
‘rhysand pointed to the ground, his smile became vicious, “beg”
tamlin dropped to his knees and bowed his head.
“lower”
he pressed his forehead to the floor, his hands sliding towards rhysand’s boots.
rhysand pointed at lucien,
“you too fox boy”
“my life will still run the same”
coming from someone who has based their entire personality & bank account on gwynriel. smahesh you will forever be a loser
i need one of the “azriel only wants elain because he thinks he deserves the third sister” believers to explain to me all his actions regarding elain before any of them even knew cassian & nesta were mates
