[cherrymoonlights]

welcome to my blog/get to know me post?????

hello!!!! I havent used tumblr in like two years so this is crazy but, I figured I would pin a post with a bit about me

my name is bri, I’m 25, and have a new hyperfixation once a week (barely a hyperbole)

i use she/her pronouns, and I identify as queer

im completely multifandom so I will be posting about basically anything on my mind, some of my more constant hyperfixations are

percy Jackson

taylor swift

the hunger games

stranger things

musical theater

avatar the last airbender

acotar

tfota series

grishaverse (mostly soc)

hotd (idc what team u are)

arcane

(i am also a multishipper mostly so I will not be engaging in much ship discourse)

dni if you’re homophobic, racist, transphobic, a zionist, misogynistic, etc. and if you are under 18

so yeah!!!! welcome!!!! stay a while!!!!

setting aside romance, shipping discourse and how many readers are so male-centered, i think the hate toward elain also comes from misreading her. ppl tend to prefer characters who act more and shift the narrative more frequently and one of elain’s biggest flaws is her passivity, meaning her difficulty in acting on her own. also, shes a people-pleaser (i actually love all of that abt her)

in this case, her flaws dont allow her to have big, immediate achievements like feyre or nesta, for ex, so u have to pay attention to the details and small actions and see how they change throughout the books

when a character’s arc is centered on internal change/identity/etc, it requires more patience and empathy from the reader bc they’re not going to give u a direct, fast payoff, it takes time. not to mention that this kind of character doesn’t allow as much self-insert bc in general ppl tend to project themselves onto more expressive characters or idealized versions of themselves (like the badass, sharp-tongued warrior girl)

for that reason the criticism toward elain is ALWAYS the same ("she’s a plant," "she’s boring," "she doesn’t do anything", "we dont know anything abt her" etc etc), even though that’s not true, her development is being built slowly and internally above all else (i think that’s also why a lot of ppl tend to dismiss her achievements or dont even recognize them). in fact elain in the latest book already has more of a voice and is trying to act in a more confrontational way which we would never have seen from elain in book 1. but those who like her can actually see her struggles, narrative themes and gradual change

(also, a funny thing abt self-insert is that elain would clearly be the most relatable one out of all of them if we were in the same situation, bc let’s be real during a war, for ex, i would hardly go fight. i’d also be lost and want to hide. but maybe realizing that you’re human and you mess up and freeze isn’t something that feels very comfortable for a lot of readers, which is kind of a shame)

Just some of my observations:

- Most Feysands seem to be team Elriel

- Most Elriels love Feysand (I don’t think I’ve ever come across an Elriel who dislikes Feysand or Feyre and Rhys in general)

- Feysands and Elriels tend to be the most levelheaded readers and usually interpret the books sjm intended them to be read

- Most Feysands and Elriels are pro Inner Circle

I LOVE Feysand🌌🎨🏹✨

I LOVE Elriel💙🩷🌸🦇

i always say this, but I love how elriel stans are always Elain stans. always. I have never met an elriel that doesn’t absolutely adore Elain. we are so loyal to our girl fr

Az took a bite. “You let her suck your cock in the middle of the dining room. At a table I’m currently using to eat my dinner. I’d say that entitles me to an opinion.”

Maybe I have a problem, but hearing Azriel casually say “suck” and “cock” does something to my brain…

Maybe I’m just a slut. I don’t know. I’m sorry.

I’m sorry

[cherrymoonlights]

I think it’s funny when people accuse me of shipping elriel because I’m projecting onto Elain and I want azriel. brother. if anything, I’m projecting onto azriel because I want Elain
