Once again for the people in the back… We ship Elriel because Elain wants Azriel, not because Azriel wants Elain. We stan Elain. We want them together because they want each other but primarily because Elain wants him too. Azriel is secondary for Elriels. We love him but we love Elain more. It’s not that hard to understand when you’re not male centered.

And there is nothing wrong if you like Azriel more but you‘ll never hear Elriels say things like:

I see myself in Elain and that’s why I want Azriel

I only want Azriel’s happiness

Idc about Elain

I only want to read Azriel smut scenes

I think this is why they can't relate to our experience of the books. I am a fan of the female protagonist, I'm rooting for her, first and foremost. The dudes I love, only because of what they are for my Fave FMCs. So that's why I'm a Feyre fan before I'm a Rhys fan. That's why I empathize and love Elain more than I love Azriel (and I love him to pieces).

So let me tell you this clearly: if Azriel hurt my girl in any way, shunned her, or made her feel less, he would immediately cease to be loved by me. A love interest that makes my girl suffer, is not an MMC in my eyes. This is the reason I never liked Tamlin, and is likely the reason why I don't like Lucien, because he makes my girl extremely uncomfortable and shrink into herself.

So Azriel buddy, you better beg on your knees for my girl or we'll have problems.

This. Female protagonists are not secondary nor do they exist as plot devices for male characters. Elain especially doesn’t deserve to be further minimized. For me, she’s a mirror. Elain is soft but like Taylor Swift said, “don’t mistake my kindness for weakness” she may struggle to stick up for herself but that doesn’t mean she will tolerate being taken advantage of or looked down on. When are we finally going to understand that the only way a woman can be strong is to be a warrior/ fighter.

Elain to all her Haters

“Another young heiress was at the ball, and she positively hated me. She was several years older, and I'd never done anything to provoke her hatred, but I think …”

“She was jealous of your beauty,” Amren said, an amused smile on her red lips.Elain blushed. “Perhaps.”

(Source: A Court of Silver Flames, Chapter 44)

Yeah we clock all Elain haters. They can't be her, so they hate her because she's got the prettiest bat boy wrapped around her finger. The next ACOTAR FMC coming soon to a bookstore near you.

Reasons I love Elain Archeron:

- she is kind despite the cruelty she’s experienced.

- She sees the best of everyone

- her inner strength. She may not be a warrior, but she is strong enough not to break in the face of cruelty.

- Her love for her sisters. Even Nesta who continues to degrade and insult Elain.

- She is intelligent

- She has not forced herself into an unhappy and lonely relationship.

- She has been told that her worth is in her looks. That all she is is a pretty face. She has found new purpose in her power and in a loving family.

- She wants everyone to be happy even at the cost of her personal happiness.

- She is part of the most powerful family in Pyrthian (possibly ever)

- Chose to trust strangers.

- Still believes in HEA.

- is devoted and passionate

- loves fiercely.

the TIME 100 Gala Red Carpet

[nikethestatue]

The first Fae that Elain met terrified her, destroyed her home and stole her sister.

The second Fae that Elain met calmed her down, her shoulders relaxed and he answered her question in a gentle, poetic manner.

She was terrified, stolen from her home, and Made into a different species because of that first Fae, and then forcibly mated to his best friend.

She was calmed, cared for, taken to the garden and gently, quietly comforted by the second Fae.

Spring Court is violence, loss, destruction and death and Lucien

Night Court is home and Azriel

[happilyeveraftersblog]

Unpopular opinion: I have never liked Lucien. Despite being Feyre’s only friend besides Alis, he did very little to actually help or protect Feyre. He said all the right things but who knows how much he meant it. Raised by Beron, chose Tamlin as his best friend. A fox is not cute or soft. They’re as much predator as a lion or killer shark. Intelligent, Sneaky, evasive, cunning, and manipulative. It’s not a compliment. And let’s not forget how distrustful of the IC he still is. And the mutual disinterest in his mate bond. Apathy is the silent killer.

Your red

And my blue

Now I see the world in....purple

[tragiclore]

How do you know if nature paired you right—aka with your soulmate? How do you know who is your soulmate if you weren’t paired with them?

You won’t be able to stay away, no matter what you do. (Rhys couldn’t stay away even after convincing himself she was better off, had somebody else she loved—kept coming back. Cass couldn’t stay away even after her countless attempts at pushing him away, kept giving her his hand, kept coming back. Azriel, control incarnate, couldn’t stay away even after knowing she could never be his, was probably better off without him. Kept coming back.)

You’ll feel irresistible and uncharacteristic bursts of emotions—shock for blasé Rhys, violent anger for patient Cass and blatant sadness for emotionless Az—if they reject you. You’ll feel blinding panic when they’re in danger. And you’ll throw yourself headfirst into war for them. (Rhys died to protect her, Cass crawled to protect her, Azriel went on a suicide mission to protect her)

You’ll drive yourself insane with jealousy, thinking about what they’re doing, who they’re with and still do what is right for them. (Rhys let her go thinking Tamlin was her happiness, Cass never said they are mates because it’d have made her unhappy, Azriel punishes himself daily thinking he’s not worthy and should stay away)

You will make unforgivable mistakes because sometimes the need to protect them will go way beyond their right to know. (Rhys kept the mating bond & pregnancy from her, Cass kept the mating bond from her, Azriel lied about not wanting her) You’ll stare and blush and stutter and hold multiple conversations just with your eyes, the kind of intimacy that cannot be physically explained. (Do you know how many times Rhys and Feyre have shared a glance? How many times Nesta looked at Cass for courage? Don’t even get me started on how many secrets Az and Elain know about each other without even talking)

You’ll hurt when they hurt. You’ll smile when they smile.

You’ll die when they die.

Not because you’re mates but because you are one. Your souls are one. That connection is just enhanced by a physical bond.
