aelin ashryver whitethorn galathynius

hello ciara here! i'm no longer active in any sjm fandom but i occasionally rise from the dead on this blog. it's exclusively tog these days cause they make my heart happy all my blogs and all my writing

[fireheartfaery]

not to be dramatic but literally nothing in the entire world brings me more comfort than the unwavering knowledge that aelin and rowan are friends before they are anything else

[fireheartfaery]

"He didn't back away again as she approached and said with every ember left in her shredded heart, "i claim you Rowan Whitethorn. I don't care what you say and how much you protest. I claim you as my friend."

—chapter 50, heir of fire

Which quote of this saga lives rent free in your head? 🔥 I think the last one is my favourite ❤️🙌🏻 And OMG I did maybe too many fanarts of TOG and I think I should draw Elide too since I like her a lot ❤️❤️

I’m only 200 pages into kingdom of ash I really gotta lock in

Rowan Whitethorn is truly feral and people just seem to forget that because he has the word prince in front of his name

[love-nuclear-babes]

The way the Cadre casually bitches at each other before and during battles means the world to me

Aelin Ashryver Galathynius (WIP)

[highladyemi-deactivated20251223]

hey so…

are aelin and rowan mates?!?!

look i know he had a mate already !!!! but— but

his pov after that first time (3xs) it just feels like mate behavior and thinking !! the frenzy ? the territorial male feelings ?? the “claiming” ??? (inside, i mean— like the BOND not the— ok let’s just move on)

plus remember dorian said he thought his magic sensed a mating bond ??

and both aelin and rowan tiptoe around a ‘feeling’ inside that they both have and—

I JUST THINK THEY ARE MATES OKAY

16 and 50 for the bookish asks!!!

I ADORE YOU!

I adore Youuuuu

16: If you could bring three books to a deserted island which would you bring and why?

Honey Girl by Morgan Rogers, Red White and Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston, and Heir of Fire by Sarah J Maas. I’m trying to think of books I could reread over and over again and feel like everything is normal

50: Why do you love to read?

escapism and experiencing art. because the creativity of telling new stories is art. each new book is a new experience and I love the feeling of new experiences and reading is a safe and comfortable way to get new experiences.

okay so since this is a Ciara ask I’m ignoring the politics of SJM books and just focusing on that the series is one that brings me comfort. but I was wrong saying Heir of Fire. for some reason I was thinking that Sorscha died in Queen of Shadows not Heir of Fire. while I probably consider the first book my favorite, it wouldn’t be the most comforting. I wanted to say Empire of Storms to be funny because the ending and stranded on a desert island. I was gonna say Kingdom of Ash but I don’t want to be reading a book that makes me cry while I’m stranded on a desert island and with that same logic I picked Heir of Fire over Queen of Shadows because as said before I misremembered which book Sorscha died in. honestly Tower of Dawn may be the best answer. but Queen of Shadows is good too so I may switch my answer to that. and usually I don’t think of Heir of Fire as one of my favorites but I feel like it could be the most comforting which it is not a comforting book but in the sense of going home to a book, the pivotal role in the series that it holds makes it the best for that kind of comfort I think. but I don’t want to read Sorscha being beheaded on a desert island. maybe I should pick a different series altogether lol.

“to whatever end”

[mariaofdoranelle]

“a little birdie told me”

and the bird in question was king rowan, terrasen’s biggest gossip

[dorkybooktrash]

There’s nothing I love more than Prince Rowan Whitethorn of Doranelle, the most powerful pureblooded fae male in history, being the biggest gossip ever

[my-friend-bucky]

well I finished kingdom of ash. If anyone needs me I'll just be crying.

[acourtofquestions]

“If you were to ask me what Throne of Glass is about…

I’d say it’s about the epic journey of a teenage assassin in a corrupt kingdom.

But if you were to ask me on a deeper level, I’d say…

It’s about how small acts of kindness can change the outcome of the world.

Money to a barmaid, waiting an extra minute to shoot, a warning in a competition, a cloak in a cold dungeon, a message on a wall, sharing your lavender soap.”

[rebelumbrella46]

This...

[cowboymoonking]

um… anyways rowan

[firebringer-aelin]

thinking about that time Rowan Whitethorn said

“I missed you. When I was in Wendlyn. I lied when I said I didn’t. From the moment you left, I missed you so much I went out of my mind. I was glad for the excuse to track Lorcan here, just to see you again. And tonight, when he had that knife at your throat… I kept thinking about how you might never know that I missed you with only an ocean between us. But if it was death separating us… I would find you. I don’t care how many rules it would break. Even if I had to get all three keys myself and open a gate, I would find you again. Always.”

[firebringer-aelin]

maybe i’m biased but nothing will beat roawelin like sjm herself won’t even be able to write couple better than them they are the beginning and the end they are the epitome of fated mates and of every other trope they are the standard no one else will ever compare or even come close to them and its ok if you don’t think so bc sjm wrote them specifically for me ok
