I really love how hands are a key detail in most of Elriel’s scenes. Azriel’s hand constantly finds Elain’s and holds it tightly, as if he doesn’t want to let go. It’s as if their bodies do this naturally. It’s as if their souls already know each other. 🥹🩷💙
The pattern is Feyre. Nesta. Elain.
Their love interests are Rhys. Cassian. Azriel.
Genuinely how are people arguing this series is about anything other than the Archeron sisters?
It's not about Rhysand's family. It's not about Cassian's childhood. It's not about Lucien. It's not about Azriel's missions.
It is about Feyre, Nesta, and Elain. It is about their bond, their trauma, their family.
It's not about the inner circle. It's not about the Valkyries.
It is Feyre -> Transition book -> Nesta -> transition book -> Elain
And the fact that people are readings so much into random ass dialogue and cherry picking words instead of looking at the goddamn main idea ... I'm not even sympathetic to the disappointment they're about to experience
"Azriel figuring out Elain's powers was literally just him doing his job as spymaster"
Well he wasn't much help with Nesta or Feyre's 99999 powers was he?
Matter of fact, he's known Mor for 500+ years and he doesn't know her powers either so like....
Either he's a shit spymaster or maybe it's Elain specifically he's cared for. Maybe he felt her powers. Maybe they had a bond. Maybe, even then, he understood her. 🤷♀️
One of the craziest things we see in this fandom is people "interpreting" actions and interactions in the way that they want, while ignoring that the narrative actually already tells you how to interpret it.
The charged glance between Azriel and Elain? The descriptor is right there, openly stating that this action has underlying implications to it. Azriel looking at someone who laughed loudly? No emotion or motivation even suggested. Why? Because it is a face value interaction, there is no emotion to it.
Azriel gives Elain Truth Teller? Certain readers are insisting this means nothing because Cassian offered Elain a weapon first. But Feyre, the narrator, spends an entire page talking about how unique and special the interaction between Elain and Azriel is.
Azriel rescues Elain? Antis whine that it is expected of him, it is just his job. Then Feyre details Azriel's rage filled eyes. We get Elain whispering "you came for me" to Azriel. Elain kicks the hounds off of Azriel. Then Azriel cradles Elain to his chest, and later she kisses his cheek. THAT IS NOT HIS JOB AND THIS IS NOT NORMAL! It's one of the most romantically coded rescue scenes we have seen in this series.
This insistence on saying all your opinions and interpretations are valid while SO many of them directly contradict cannon is ridiculous. "Well I read it differently!" - no you didn't read it at all. You glazed over it and ignored it because it doesn't help your head cannon.
And that goes hand in hand with these misinterpretations where people are claiming "we don't know what Elain wants" ... girl yes we do! She said it out loud! "I don't want a mate. I don't want a male" - "you betrayed us" - specifically speaking about Lucien. Even if you ignore her actions, those are her exact words!
But my personal favorite is, "we don't know anything about Elain!" Don't we though? Her sisters speak at length about her kindness, about her ability to see the good in the world. Feyre points out that Elain can be brave, she warned Feyre about Tamlin's attack in ACOMAF, she tried to kick off the cauldron before she went in, she smashed her feet into a vicious hounds to protect Azriel, and she stabbed the King of Hybern in the throat to save Nesta. Not only that, but we see her standing up for herself more and more. Elain is deeply thoughtful, as we can see in all the gifts she gives others. Elain has even picked up a job helping the Fae in Velaris with their gardens. And in the handful of times we get Elain speaking on page she has dropped more one liner jokes than half the Inner Circle. She is kind, thoughtful and funny. She is working through trauma of identity and loss, indicated by both Amren and Feyre. But sure “she doesn’t have a personality” SJM apparently just randomly writes important characters with no personality. If you think we don't know enough about Elain, then you haven't been paying attention. Or more likely, you don't like soft, kind characters so you just don't care.
You don’t get to “interpret” clearly stated events and intentions just because they don’t fit your narrative. Thats not theorizing, that is fan fiction, and pretending your theories are unbiased or objective is straight up lying.
not sure how they’re ever beating the male centered and hating elain allegations when these comments only appear on videos that support the womb theory
and how interesting that it’s either elain is evil, elain should be with tamlin, elain sucks or those replying about how gwyn has a magical baby making pelvis.
and they’re going to be ever angrier when i say ive never seen an elriel video on tt that has bashed gwyn to uplift elriel. not once. most elriel vids don’t even discuss her. at most it’s to say she’s a side character (and that isn’t being anti gwyn), and every lightsinger theory vid has always clarified how gwyn is not evil. so why is it that elriel creators can discuss our ship without attacking women but the others cant hmmm
So these clowns are still sending anons? 😭 Your content creators are abandoning your ships, just like those two Brazilian Gwyn///riel BookTokers did. At this point, only MAGA Mel and that other clown are still going.
Azriel x Elain
Elain bit her lower lip, and it took every ounce of Azriel's restraint to keep from putting his own teeth there.
One of the most enduring and consistent arguments that the antis use to rebuff any Elriel moment as significant in any way is by saying their favorite: well, Azriel would've done it for anyone!
'he would've saved anyone!'
'he would've protected anyone!'
'he cares about everyone!'
'Elain's not special, Azriel does it for everybody!'
The problem with this argument is of course that he doesn't. He doesn't care about everyone and he doesn't do things for everybody.
Everything that he's done with Elain IS unique. And hence, has been given a lot of page time and explanation.
None of his behaviours with Elain are what he usually does with others, and therefore, we, as readers, are meant to be constantly aware of it. That's why SJM uses the words 'never' to describe his actions or reactions.
'Azriel never have that dagger to anyone'.
'I've never heard a sound so joyful' (when Azriel laughed at the headache powder)
Azriel never acted the way at the table, making everyone wait until Elain arrived.
They talk about it because it's UNIQUE.
Exactly the opposite of him doing it 'with everyone'.
He certainly doesn't sit with anyone else in the garden except for Elain.
He certainly doesn't volunteer to go and rescue anyone from certain death. He didn't lift a finger to save Gwyn or Emerie or Nesta from the Blood Rite. He didn't volunteer to go to Oorid, but had to come along and draw straws. He didn't particularly want to train the priestesses but was asked to do it.
He absolutely does NOT give up his siphon and deliberately weakens himself and his powers in order to get to someone faster.
It's only with Elain that he is dripping blood from his wings but is still cradling her in his arms, though she is perfectly capable of walking, so much so that Rhysand, his High Lord, needs to wrench her out of his hold, so Azriel could get medical attention.
It's only Elain's powers does he understands and actually names. Mind you, he, for example, never named what Nesta's 'power of death' was.
It's only Elain who gets Truth-Teller handed to her, and only to her, directly to her, exclusively to her. It's only Elain who is TRUSTED with TT for that one day, and it's Elain who understands the assignment, uses TT as it was meant to be used and then returns it to Azriel.
It's only Elain's bond that Azriel's scents and suffers from.
It's only Elain's gift that he keeps on his nightstand to look at every night. Not Mor's daggers or towels.
So no.
That's where the antis are very very wrong. Because Azriel, in fact. wouldn't do it for everyone.
The only person he does everything for is Elain.
Elain the woman who at the start of the story was afraid of the fae now has fallen for the most scary of the lot is just poetry!

The teenage Fae boy, appearing no older than Helena and Silene, smiled at Theia. Raised a hand in greeting. My mother did not recognize the enemy when they wore a friendly face, beckoning her and the others through the portal. Had she any hesitations upon finding that the empty world she’d been promised was indeed populated, they were calmed when the strangers claimed to be Fae as well, long separated from our world by the Daglan, whom they too claimed to have overthrown. And they had waited all this time to reunite our people.

Elain seemed to be fighting the urge to tuck her hand behind the skirts of her pale pink and blue dress, but stayed tall while the queens surveyed her.
I’ve genuinely stopped arguing with antis because, bless their hearts, the elevator does not go all the way to the top floor!! I’ll literally open this app and then remember that we have already used every single shred of logic, reading comprehension, and basic human brain cells available in the universe to explain things to them and IT STILL SLIDES RIGHT OFF. You cannot reason someone out of a position they didn't reason themselves into😬 at this point, I'm just waiting for the book to drop so I can finally read Elain and Azriel's story
Genuinely Gwynriel has nothing. Elucien is shitty too but at least they have the whole Sarah’s a fated mates author crutch. Gwynriel has:
1. Several out of context quotes that mean nothing.
2. A necklace that was created and picked out for someone else, and then given to Clotho to regift.
3. Some bullshit pelvis thing.
4. A redhead(?)
5. Evil fuckboy Azriel but only in relation to Elain.
6. A hypothetical important secret heritage.
7. Stuff stolen from Elriels.
☝️ Actually I have a masters degree in Freak so I’m very qualified to say Elain and Azriel will fuck over and over and over again.
I want to know in which romance book the soft, sweet female character meets a hot as fuck, protective male character in the middle of the night and gets aroused and wants him to kiss her after putting a beautiful necklace he bought for her on her neck while the male character who is supposedly her endgame is sleeping in the other room like a clown
The funniest part about this whole thing is that Elain obviously doesn’t think about Lucien at all. There isn’t even that whole spicy “I hate you because you’re always on my mind and I can’t stand that” dynamic.
Like when Lulu gives Elain her gifts, something Eluciens treat like the Bible, it’s really no big deal. Fox Toddler shows up, makes Elain uncomfortable, she gets the shitty gift, picks it up, puts it down, and moves the fuck on with her life. Those gifts are never seen again, and Elain is goes to watch water boil until giggleshitter leaves.
In the hallway at solstice, when Elain is so fucking horny she’s ready to do a backflip on that thang (referring to Azriel’s massive cock) Cuck Boy is the last thing on her mind. If Elain is so torn up and obsessed about her Temu Mate, then why didn’t she go find him? Why did she gift Azriel meaningful presents two years in a row, one of which sits on his bedside table and gets stared at every night?
Lucien is so far from Elain’s mind. She has friends, family, and a sexy ass Shadowsinger who would do anything for her in the Night Court. Why the fuck would she be thinking about some random guy? If she was thinking about Lulu, wouldn’t that be subtly sprinkled in? It’s just so meh with absolutely nothing supporting it besides that fuckass “bond”
