if you don’t think nesta would approve of elriel then I kindly redirect you to the many paragraphs nesta spent simping over him and that really cute solstice scene where she gave him a big hug (their relationship is so cute 🤧). Anyways they are besties and she would 100% be both azriel AND elain’s wingwoman at the same time 😌

[a-lil-bit-lost]

Elain : so you approve? Of me and az?

Nesta : sweetheart if you don’t sleep with him I will

Cassian :

Cassian : Nesta, please-

[a-lil-bit-lost]

Azriel, about elain : I don’t think she likes me

Nesta, who’s heard her numerous teary confessions : aren’t you literally supposed to be a spymaster. how are you this oblivious.

I feel like we always focus on how Elain who was coming into her own in ACOSF until Lucien and then she “shrinks into herself” all of the new found boldness gone, but what about Lucien? In ACOTAR he was my fave, at one point I rooted for him to be with Feyre. Since the cauldron bond happened, I feel like Lucien around Elain is a shell of the Lucien I loved. But Feyre notices when he’s away from NC (Elain) he’s more like himself. I guess what I’m trying to word vomit here is that maybe this bond isn’t it for either Luc or Elain. They seem to be better versions of themselves when apart. I can go into specificities but I feel like they’ve all been quoted a lot. What if both grow together by breaking the bond to be apart? Day court powers meet cauldron blessed powers? I feel like those powers could break (or forge) bonds. And what an interesting story line for both of them to be happy apart.

Dirty hands? More like dirty clothes, honestly kaz 👺

a collection of memes I made after reading acosf ->

elain everytime lucien breathes in her direction :

rhys when he catches azriel flirting with elain in the bonus chapter :

cassian when he invites nesta to train with him but instead she just sits on a rock for 5 hours :

azriel when rhys tells him he can’t seduce elain :

i love going back to the beginning of a piece of media with the full weight of knowing how it ends. you see characters get introduced and it’s literally like

[id: the ‘they don’t know’ meme edited to say ‘they don’t know the profound and life-changing effect they will have on each other’. it shows a simple drawing of a guy with a party hat standing in the corner of a room, looking at two couples who are happy and dancing. the guy is edited to have shiny, tearful eyes. end id.]

the reason I know Azriel is hot is because Nesta Archeron made a point to bring up how pretty he was every single time she saw him even though she was in love with cassian from day 1

[elriell]

AZ BEING A PRETTY BOY EVERYONE IS HORNY FOR

Azriel was nothing short of beautiful. Even with those scarred hands and the shadows that flowed from him like smoke, she’d always found him to be the prettiest of the three males who called themselves brothers.

But the second male, the more classically beautiful of the two … Even the light shied from the elegant planes of his face. With good reason. Beautiful, but near-unreadable.

He grinned at Azriel. “You handing Eris’s ass to him will be my new fantasy at night, by the way.”

I sent another pretty face for you to admire, Rhys said. Not as beautiful as mine, of course, but a close second. As the shadows wreathing him cleared, Azriel sized up Nesta and Cassian.

Azriel’s presence helped. He now trained the newest recruits, quiet and gentle yet unfaltering, and if she didn’t know better, she’d swear at least two of the priestesses—Roslin and Ilana—sighed every time he walked past.

Azriel emerged from the sitting room, a glass of wine in hand and wings tucked back to reveal his fine, yet simple black jacket and pants. I felt, more than saw, my sister go still as he approached. Her throat bobbed.

feel free to add ❤

The prettiest bat boy Azriel for the most beautiful Archeron sister Elain 😌

[elriell]

TO ADD ON TO YOUR POINT, THE MOST BEAUTIFUL ELAIN! 

Then Elain’s face appeared over Mrs. Laurent’s round shoulder. Beautiful—she’d always been the most beautiful of us. Soft and lovely, like a summer dawn. 

“She was jealous of your beauty,” Amren said, an amused smile on her red lips. Elain blushed.

“Elain’s beauty was remarkable. Hers was a face that could bring kings to their knees.”

When human, Elain had easily been the prettiest of the three of them, and when she’d been turned High Fae, that beauty had been amplified. Nesta couldn’t put her finger on what changes had been wrought beyond the pointed ears, but Elain had gone from lovely to devastatingly beautiful. Elain never seemed to realize it.

“Put the prettier one in first,” the king said, Mor already forgotten.

Elain was laughing among a circle of beautiful friends, flushed and brilliant.

I found Elain studying it, beautiful in her amethyst-colored gown. I made to move toward her, but someone beat me to it.

“Some were as lovely as you, Elain,” Rhys said from beside Feyre, “from the outside. But once they set foot into the arena of battle, they became as bloodthirsty as Amren.”

“They say your sister Elain is the beauty, but you outshine her tonight.”

Yeah, so they are the most beautiful couple in Velaris? Canon. hahaha

I get that appeal of the ‘mates’ trope, and the idea that there is a soulmate out there who’ll love you despite your flaws and all that, but imo isn’t it somehow sweeter for someone to love you so much they go against the mating bond? For someone to decide to ignore fate and destiny and all the higher powers because for them that one person is more important that all that? Their connection is even stronger than what fate had designed? Because that’s what elriel feels like to me, loving someone so much you’d go against a cosmically-decided bond to be with them <3

[lightitup-1989]

Oh it's nothing just Nesta Archeron admiring women.

[elriell]

every day is a good day to remember Elain and Azriel are the prettiest in their families and unreal beauties ❤️‍🔥

[a-lil-bit-lost]

it’s so funny to me how people will slander nesta and elain for ‘noT doIng aNyThIng’ to help feyre (even when that isn’t strictly true, they probably did house maintenance tasks if feyre was out hunting all the time) but say nothing about their father? The grown-ass man? The parent in that situation?

It’s a real problem (irl and in media) that people just expect older siblings to take on a parental role, as if they, especially girls, were born to provide labour within a family.

What feyre did was incredibly brave and resourceful but it was not her responsibility. You can’t blame Nesta and Elain for not going out in the freezing winter or learning to hunt etc etc, when it’s wasn’t their job.

It was their right to be bitter, and their right to want their dad to get of his lazy ass and try to provide for them instead of their little sister. Maybe it wasn’t particularly brave or particularly kind, but it doesn’t make them horrible people.

[a-lil-bit-lost]

Azriel, during the entirety of ACOSF : Things will work out. I trust Cass

Rhys : You think he knows what he’s doing?

Azriel : I wouldn't go that far.
