"There's only one that can walk that path with her, and she chose him long ago."

Love the HOTD writers for making it clear that Rhaesaria & Rhaenicent are BONES👏

[aelsie]

This was music to my ears. When was it ever a question guys? Thank god we cleared that up.

[aelsie]

Daemon and Rhaenyra have never soulmated as hard as they have this season so far.

When they speak in High Valyrian, they become more husband and wife than king and queen. Sure they’re husband and wife plotting their regime to stay in power over all the lands, BUT husband and wife nonetheless 😚

This is my formal request to have most of their conversations in High Valyrian, pleaseandthankyou

PS. You just know that after Rhaenyra called him bold and cunning with songs written about him, he stopped listening to the rest and was just kicking his feet giggling to himself internally.

DAEMYRA IN THE NEXT EPISODE OMG 🥹

their hands??!! i can’t cope

[aelsie]

Someone correct me but don’t royal couples usually sleep in different chambers? Even in Westeros world? I do love that these two sleep in the same room and bed 🥹🥹because it’s a marriage born out of love. Because they’re fcking in love guys!!! Not just because of strategy or power. 😭😭

[whateveryeah]

Matt and Emma talking about Daemyra in S3 and about each other 🥹💗

Part I probably because there is so much content this year

[aelsie]

Living for this 😍😍😍

[aelsie]

god imagine if elucien do break the bond and then later on this really dramatic confession happens and they’re like I choose you anyway, bond or no! I choose you!!

And then they grab each other and just let it all out.

now that’s an exercise of free will alright.

I don’t want them to break that bond but thinking about all the emotions that scene would have has me feral.

[aelsie]

Hey chat what’s up?! I’m back on my ACOTAR shit again!

I was really hoping that we’d practically be done with the shipping wars after this interview but I’m left more confused and unsure about where this story could go!

First, with the reveal of this story being so long that it needs to be three PHYSICAL books, I can only assume she’s covering Elain, Lucien, Azriel and Gwyn. Plus other plot points like Eris and Mor! If it was just Az and Elain—I really don’t feel like there’s as much there, you could pull off a regular novel. Elain rejects bond and goes with Az who she’s currently thirsting for. The end. But NOPE—THREE BOOKS.

Second, the complications Sarah mentioned that’s getting in the way of Elucien was THEMSELVES—Elain specifically. You’re the one getting in the way of your HEA my boo. Their own trauma, their own shit. NOT a third party. Not some other dude. Not because she’s in love with someone else.

Third, thank god she finally said that Elain’s miserable and traumatized, she’s NOT happy gang, she’s not happy in the night court right now as some people say.

Fourth, Bryceriel or Brycriel (whatever the hell that ship name is) = DED.

So there we have it. And so the ship wars persist!! Oi.

I was there Gandalf, I was there 3000 years ago…..I was there before deathly hallows came out almost 20 years ago, I remember some of the OG online shipping wars and so whatever the outcome, I will be ready.

So what do all my eluciens and gwynriels think?

PS. Yeah Elain def thinks Lucien is hot.

[rocinanterising]

It’s been a while, please accept my offering. <3

[aelsie]

One question, do you allow translations of your one shots?

Oh my gosh, I’ve been offline for so long. I’m just now seeing this!! But yes go ahead no problem! They’re just silly little posts! Just tag me in them or something so I see it. Would be cool to see the translation.

Seasmoke: *flirts, winks, giggles* me wants love, me wants rider!

Addam: Oh hell—AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! *runs for his life*

Damn, I always hoped dragons and I had something in common. Never thought it was my effect on men.

[aelsie]

Mondays: I shall defend Daemyra with all two brain cells I’ve got left. What they are doing is valid and correct. They love each other, there is technically nothing wrong or toxic about them *writes essay with references*

Tuesdays-Sundays: Ayeeee my crazy scheming incestuous unhinged couple is back at it again!!! Pop off sis!!! Be fcked up and chaotic!! Gimme the drama! Gimme the messy! You keep being my crazy meow meows! *drinks wine picks up cigarette and swishes dramatic cloak*

I always knew Mondays sucked for a reason. The rest of the week, I channel my inner Daemon where I could not give lesser fcks, living my best life, and holding a Daemyra = Soulmates poster in the middle of a burning field.

Reasons I love the Red Rising series (spoilers for Light Bringer):

Darrow, hardened warlord, while surveying the utter destruction of a civilization: "Is Cassius a best friend?"

[aelsie]

That’s a silly question, Darrow. He’s not your best friend. Cassius is your third wife, duh. You went on a honeymoon remember?

I swear if Virginia wasn’t in the picture, I’d be grabbing my paddle and rowing for this ship like hell.

[sarcasmiclife]

Darrow literally has more light scenes with Cassius than with Sevro or Virginia and Cassius isn't even there with him for 3 of the 6 books

(he so clearly wants what Darrow and Sevro have😭)

Wait there are more in the reblog-

[aelsie]

I can never look at a Golden Retriever and German Shepherd playing and cuddling the same ever again. Thanks Pierce.

Top 5 Darrow Cassius Heterosexual Moments™️ from light bringer

5. Flirting over swordplay (not a euphemism)

4. Married disapproval

3. Tending to the homies wounds

2. Whatever the hell this was

1. They’re literally honeymooning. Cassius and Virginia are going to fight each other for Darrow’s hand. She literally had his baby and is married to him and I’m still not sure she’s winning.

[aelsie]

I swear if Virginia wasn’t around, these two would be exchanging vows by now. Honeymoon!!! A honeymoon!!! And Darrow didn’t say honeymoon with a question. He said honeymoon with a period. A statement. 😂🤭

In all seriousness, their bromance was so beautiful in this book. It makes you go, man what could have been had the world not separated them.

*Fold is destroyed*

Zoya: YES! Time to kill—*looks over*

Darklina: *cuddles and snuggles*

Zoya: HELLO.

Alina, eyes closed: Tired. Just had a big fight. Now it’s time for cuddles.

The Darkling: go away, babygirl is sleeping

Zoya: Motherf—NIKOLAI, come here and fix this.

Narrator *movie trailer voice*: Alina and the Darkling broke up and made it everyone’s business. War, death, violence, foreplay! Grrr! Now they’ve reached their climax, they’re tired and it’s time for some aftercare.

[aelsie]

Alright everyone, about this Darklina deleted scene. In a Newsweek interview Ben says,

But he is able to make her understand it in his last moments as he grabs her wrist and he feeds his power into her, so she has both.

At first, I was like—WHAT WHY DELETE NO! MORE DARKLINA! More emotional Darkling! More scenes to show he cares about her!

Then I decided maybe it’s better this way? I wonder if they decided that it would be better that she gained those powers because she used merzost (obv), because she, and no one else, did something that caused her to take a step towards the dark side, if you will. This makes her path even more similar to the Darkling. It makes everything Aleksander said even more correct. That she IN TIME (very short time apparently) will also make the same decisions as him. That everything he’s been telling her had truth in it after all. And she grows to understand and empathize with him more.

We all know that he cares for her and wants her protected anyway, in his own twisted way just from the other scenes between them. He already expressed “let me be your monster” and “let me carry the hatred in this world” which is probably to ensure that she has an equal and a balance. So maybe, they said, yes let’s make the darkness come because of HER decision and no one else’s.

Now, they could decide to reveal otherwise. They could be like oop it’s because The Darkling gave it to her. She can take it as aw hubby cares even from the grave, he wanted me to be protected-ish(?) the only way to beat your enemy is to become them maybe? And take the darkness in? Or she could react with anger and blame him for leaving the darkness with her. Seeing how she’s been so self righteous this whole time, which sounds more Alina to you?

So maybe it’s better this way, because then sunshine has no one to blame but herself. Doesn’t look like she’s particularly upset about it so far though.

Anyway, so many possibilities! I love it! I’m ready for season 3! And I better get my Darklina angst!

Pictured here: Wife mourns husband’s death. (Even if she did kill him. She summoned (literally) him. Some wives keep their husband’s stuff, some go to their favorite places. Alina said—to hell with that—I may have killed you but *WHOOSH* CUT! I know you’ll always be with me in spirit *proceeds to smile with glee*)
