“Azriel went wholly still, as if he, too, had felt the shift. As if he, too, were aware that far larger forces peered into that training ring as Gwyn moved.”

first valkyrie reborn, first non-illyrian carynthian, book researcher, talented singer, warrior, has a beauty that rivals merrill and mor, threatens elriels, traumatizes elriels, elriels hate her. all positive traits! what a queen
sjm really wrote a whole ass scene of gwyn changing the trajectory of the world, choosing to make HER the first valkyrie reborn (even tho it’s nesta’s book), and then there’s still people doubting her importance to the plot LMAO, whatever helps you sleep at night babes
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!
having azriel’s shadows have a special reaction for gwyn and ONLY gwyn was a choice from sjm, and y’all know exactly what it means even if some people want to stay in denial
the whole concept of the bonus chapter starting with azriel desperate for a mate and envious of his brothers for having one…. and then at the end of it running into his potential mate, completely oblivious…
gwyn was mentioned 500+ times in acosf, more than emerie, azriel, elain, mor and amren. if you’ve forgotten who she is, then you simply haven’t read the book
elriels: gwyn is an insignificant and useless side character that can easily be removed
also elriels: gwyn is an evil lightsinger luring azriel, tricking nesta, infiltrating the IC, wants to get in between azriel and elain, etc
if 2+2=4…. ?

it’ll always be so funny to me how gwyn practically dismissed azriel and HE was the one who wanted to stay and talk to her. she gave him a way out because she knows he likes to be alone! but he decided to stay!
oh and one day gwyn is irrelevant and her only purpose is to be nesta’s friend, she’s only a side character and won’t get a big role. but not even 2 seconds later gwyn is an evil lightsinger villain planning to infiltrate the IC and get between elain and az. like choose?
reminder: the evil lightsinger theory is extremely harmful and problematic because it is fucking sick and disgusting to EVER accuse a r*pe victim of luring ANYONE. and if you use it or believe in it ur a horrible person and belong in hell. hope that helps!
never forget azriel went into that training ring to work off his frustration and anger and left the training ring with both him AND his shadows relaxed and calm. and all it took is one conversation with gwyn berdara btw
the way that the mating bond is described as “the music between souls” and a mate is described as “the song of their soul” and every main mated couple in every sjm series has had musical references to indicate the mating bond but sure! it’s lightsinger magic!

#gwynrielweeks2024
readsof_luna shared this WONDERFUL Gwynriel’s first kiss 💙
look how pretty is this comm made by pandacapuccino on ig
making fun of artists and commissioners for promoting their art (that they worked hard to make and paid for) when ur fandom is actively sponsoring propaganda is crazy
girl no one wants azriel to do that for gwyn LMAOOO. just because you like useless and helpless female characters doesn’t mean we do. keep that shit to yourself

A beautiful depiction of a scene from Azriel’s bonus chapter by

and commissioned by @: yaz.the.bookish!
Reminder that Gwynriel Weeks is 3 weeks away!
and we’re talking about the first valkyrie reborn, the first non illyrian carynthian, the girl who fought and won in a blood rite that only in its history 12 have won. the girl who’s training to be a warrior.

I knew it would happen…
The fact that she says what it’s best for her ship and hides stuff
Shadows singing? They are literal weapons so it is actually best if they vanish because they know he is safe around her.
And when they sing, they are still there, alert, I wonder why?
nesta saw the vision of the harp because of gwyn’s singing. and she’s also the reason nesta knew the last string of the harp was time itself. this knowledge helped nesta save feyre, and also prevented the deaths of rhys and nyx
also it’s so funny to me how elain has such big potential to be badass and do big and great things, but they’d rather diminish that for a man LMAOO and we’re the misogynists. ok.
they don’t want gwyn to heal from her trauma and believe it’s problematic to want her to have an empowering and healing sex life, but in the same breathe claim that gwyn CAN in fact be an evil lightsinger luring people. you belong in hell btw
trying to place all SA survivors in the same box and trying to dictate how they heal is fucking disgusting. if you’re so adamant and passionate about the topic, then read about it! educate yourself!
So when nesta has visions because of gwyns singing it’s all thanks to gwyn and her power. But when azriel has visions of her face glowing when she sings it’s because he’s in love with her. So which one is it?
