ELAIN THEORY - ACOTAR SPOILERS

Everyone has these expectations of Elain that she is all soft and flowers and has little backbone. However, we haven’t seen her point of view, her through the eyes of others and I believe she has a lot more to give than what is shown.

The moments she has her will, like when she first met the mortal queens in ACOMAF and said ‘they should burn in hell’. (Pg 389) Also seen where she defends Nesta in ACOWAR in the last battle, where she stabs the King of Hybern.

These incidences cannot be coincidence and she is not as soft as she makes out, more of an edge to her.

She currently clings to those of shadow and has been in shadow her entire life as the middle child, looked over and not much of her relationship with her mother is stated in the books accept that she was prized for her beauty. Her role between the sisters is always soemthing to be protected, Feyre is the provider and Nesta her constant protector.

In the night court she is surrounded by people of shadow and whilst they are lovely and good it is not the type of people Elain needs.

What this means for her love interests…

The obvious choices so far are Lucien and Azriel.

The chances of Elian getting with Azriel endgame are pretty low for a few reasons, but this doesn’t mean they won’t have a special relationship or try it out and it doesn’t work:

- If is stated in ACOFS that Elain does not look good in night court black, it doesn’t suit her and she almost doesn’t belong there.

- Her getting with Azriel, the three brothers getting with the three sisters is a bit generic and I don’t think SJM will go down that road. Azriel think she is entitled to her and I don’t think this would work.

- Azriel’s shadows disappear in her presence, this is not a bad thing as it shows his comfort around her, but means the whole of him isn’t necessarily accepted, in the way it could be with Gwyn when the shadows sing in her presence, referring to him wholly as the ShadowSinger

- Elain has a mate and whether the bond can be ignored for so long remains to be seen and she hasn’t outright rejected it.

Onto Lucien…

- Lucien is Spring court emissary and Elain is symbolised by flowers

- Lucien is the heir to the Day Court by being Helion’s son, meaning he has light and healing magic that is better suited to Elain.

- Both bave been taken away from their first loves (Grayson and Jesminda)

BUT I LOWKEY DON’T WANT THEM TO BE TOGETHER

- Lucien is still fire and autumn and his relationship with Vassa seems to be a common thing. They are both fire and he seems to come alive more in her presence than Elain .

- Also, the fact that every other mated pair in the SJM universe gets together, I would like to see the rule defined.

WEIRD THEORY

I want Tamlin to have a redemption arc or more context to his actions - similar to what we are getting with Eris in ACOFS. It will not excuse things but give more context and the chance for him to heal himself.

Therefore, maybe Elain could have something with Tamlin to help him do that as she is so light and soft and he can be the protector he needs to be for her. Learn from his past mistakes with Feyre and soemone to accept for who he is.

Also, Elain is symbolised as flowers and Tamlin is High-lord of the Spring court. Finally start to repair his relationships with people and other courts.

Do people realise in the Elain/ Azriel/ Lucien book there are too many love triangles to count that it’s no longer merely a triangle but some decagon prism:

NESTA ARCHERON

This girl needs so much more appreciation. The complexity of her character. The sheer fire and will. This woman doesn’t need no man but she can have one (Cassian) if she wants.

[alltheworldsinmyhead]

Alright, let’s make some things clear, once and for all, because this clusterfuck is delightful: 

FEYRE has all the reasons to harbour hard feelings towards Nesta. They do have unresolved conflict which none of the parts really know how to resolve. You could even argue that Feyre does not owe Nesta any kind of attention or care now and I would be kinda inclined to agree. What was truly shitty of Feyre was to actually BANISH her own sister from her fairytale ending just because she did not fit the perfect picture and hand her to Cass like an object.

RHYS is completely justified in his dislike towards Nesta. He is so devoted to Feyre that he will always and forever take her side in any potential conflit AND, due to this devotion, is not likely for him to forgive other people for inflicting pain on Feyre, even when she herself does grant this forgiveness. Rhysand doesn’t need to like or even understand Nesta - she’s his sister-in-law, he grants her protection on basis of that and so be it. To be honest, I don’t think it’s Rhysand’s cup of tea at all.

MOR does not have to like Nesta. Actually, she has hundreds of reasons not to and it would have been super unrealistic if she did. I don’t think that in 500 years of this Mor-Az-Cass clusterfuck there has ever been a bigger threat to this comfortable bubble of denial they have created than Nesta. Besides, Feyre is Mor’s bestie and her High Lady, so her loyality will always be with Feyre first and foremost. HOWEVER, I do believe Mor is intentionally doeing everything she can to create drift between Cassian and Nesta and, unfortunately, I think it has more to do with her own fear and insecurity than with her trying to protect him from heartbreak or sth. And this is - and incredibly selfish thing to do and also an incredibly wrong one. And it needs to be adressed.

AZRIEL did nothing wrong, fuck, SJM, give this man a hug pls

ELAIN is the one whom I actually DO have a problem with, because given how absolutely devoted Nesta is to her, you would think Elain would fight for her harder. She doesn’t. She fought for fucking GRAYSEN, but she doesn’t fight for Nesta. I believe that she is the most self-centered one in this whole mess, tbh. I can forgive Feyre for her conflict with Nesta, but never Elain.  

CASSIAN is a fucking coward. There, I said it. He is in love with Nesta, she fucking calls to him, body and soul, and yet he refuses to fight for her, much like Elain does. He gives up on her and cannot deal with his own emotions to the the point when he fucking tells Nesta she’s unlovable. I adore this man, but damn, he will have to atone for that hard. Because boiiii, SHE MADE HER FEELINGS FOR YOU AS CLEAR AS POSSIBLE. He needs to seriously set his priorities straight - cause as of acofas, he refuses to completely let her go while simultaniously refusing to committ to her. He refuses to understand her actions. He blames his own feelings on her.  And I think that - again - this is all because he is so damn afraid of loving her the way he full well knows she simply has to be loved - completely and apologetically - cause loving her like that will put him in oposition to his own family. And who he is, if he is not absolutely devoted to them? 

NESTA  - honestly, let this girl heal. She is so broken and ruined in acofas and I do truly think she only continues to live because Fae bodies are so hard to kill. I don’t think she owes Cassian anything. She offered him her raw heart already. I don’t think she owes Elain more. She gave her her heart long ago. I don’t think she owes Mor or Rhys anything, besides being more civil with them. She does owe Feyre a completely honest conversation about their shared past, but, truth to be told, what she has already said to her in ACOTAR should’ve been at least enough for Feyre to start looking at her at least a bit differently ( which she didn;t). She is clearly mentally ill and depressed, and you cannot expect a person in such a ruined state to be a proactive part of any kind of relationship, romantic of otherwise. How fandom treats her depression in opossition to Feyre’s only shows that, unfortunately, a woman still has to be nice and sympathetic in order to be even considered worth care and affection. 

Guys. They DON’T NEED TO ALL LIKE EACH OTHER. Nesta doesn’t need to enjoy Rhys’ company. She doesn’t need to be besties with Mor. The true conflict is not between Nesta and IC, not even at all. Nesta probably does not belong in the Court of Dreams in a straigh-forward sense, definitely not like Feyre does. Nesta and Cassian don’t have true conflict either, because they so clearly love each other, they just cannot be together for the time being because of their own personal conflicts - Nesta’s with her own issues and with her sisters AND Cassian’s with his own issues and with the IC. 

And that’s the tea.  

[fanbitchesunite]

I agree with most of most of what you of what you are saying. But CASSIAN not at all. Cassian has fought for Nesta the whole time it’s her who pushes the feelings and relationship away because she has to heal and find herself and accept him and put aside her predjucies of people beneath her. Cassian knows this therefore will not voice this out loud properly until she is ready therefore won’t get completely rejected as she feels it too. The evidence points to a potential mating bond therefore, both would be some bond there. They avoid each other in Acofas because he cares too much and can’t stand to see her waste away and she will not let him see her vulnerable as he already does and she feels like she doesn’t deserve it and she is past the point of caring like depression, similar to Feyre when she is at the worst because of Tamlin, Rhys steps in makes her heal something she cannot do for herself. This is similar with Nesta a she has not been forced into an environment to heal, and her family are hounding her but Cassian understands that not what Nesta is like and will approach it in a different way, but riling her temper so that she fights and feels things even anger and hatred are better than the numbness. Then In ACOFS this will be the process as they are in close quarters and she has no on else but him intially until she develops. Cassian has never felt like this before and neithe me has Nesta therefore are not sure how to proceed but fights for her in a different way.

I just had the weirdest thought. You have to pay too see and hear. That’s like 2 out of your 5 senses. What a waste of money when you can spend it something that is actually worth your while like a Nando’s.
