And the fact that both accounts got deleted at the same time is no coincidence. But some people still accuse those who found and posted literal evidence💀 18 slides of evidence, of screenshots, of screen recordings.

The length this scam has gone but some still choose to watch everything with eyes wide shut.

I hope now people will pay more attention when artists are saying that someone's art is most likely AI-generated and not hand-drawn instead of dismissing it as another witch hunt.

Those who have been drawing for years can tell if something is suspicious.

I remember watching this fake artist's follower count grow immensely, them getting commissioned and thinking "wow, y'all will be disappointed when truth comes out".

Look what happened.

"What can I get you, Elain?" 🌄

acourtofthought

It's okay for someone not to like Lucien Vanserra but I'll just stay here on the side of people who do - including the author. "I mean, he's hot" - Sarah J Maas "Lucien has always been one of my favorite character." - Sarah J Maas "My <3" - Sarah J Maas "One of my favorite TV / Movie crushes is Outlander. I've been obsessed with him since I read the books and now that it's on TV the "real life Jamie" is everything I'd dreamed he'd be. I'd probably pee my pants if I saw Sam up close. I was in the room for the giant Outlander panel room at Comic-Con and just sharing the same breathings pace was too much for me so I would probably lose my mind if he was 20 feet away from me instead of a thousand feet away." Sarah J Mass who went on to base Lucien's Character off Jamie Fraser then thanked Sam Heughan in her ACOTAR acknowledgments.

Which character would you co-write a book with? "I feel like Lucien would be really fun, he's really smart, he'd be able to plot things extensively" - Sarah J Maas

Also Sarah: Spoke about the crazy friendship chemistry Lucien and Feyre have always had and despite their bump in the road has been repairing that friendship. Set Lucien up to be a High Lord. Mated him to an Archeron. Always wanted him to end up with an Archeron even though the first fell through for reasons. Had him defy the main villain in book 1. Gave him a tragic backstory that "he's never forgotten despite pretending he has". Had him "setting his sights" on Koschei in SF. Wrote him as someone Azriel is jealous of. Wrote him as someone who Rhys and Feyre rely on for information. Gave him a connection to the Trove items through his ancestral blood. Wrote him with dominance flashing in his eyes over Cassian.

How am I supposed to just get up and go on about my day when I had a dream about some pages of ACOTAR6 being leaked and it was about Elucien and their sloooow burn and Lucien went to participate in some sort of ritual and Elain went to save him and ACOTAR6 ended on a cliffhanger of Lucien transforming???? I need to see the continuation!!!

AND ANOTHER THING ! there’s a difference bw calling elain unexplored or straight up not liking her vs calling her boring or even worse useless like she can see the fucking future how is that boring ??? Even if she wishes she was human and rebels against her powers and herself, is that not interesting? please in her limited appearances she’s faced her fears and fought and been sneaky and selfish and stood up for herself and admitted wrongdoing and apologized AND made friends and been sweet and kind and loving and happy and sad and horny and then after a life of loss and neglect and trauma she dared to dream about having a garden and a home and someone to love how is that boring ???????

Amen. And sorry to hijack your post but you defending Elain has me heated. But I hate people who are not even fans of her acting like all of us who are are "putting her on a pedestal" and "don't think she has flaws". First of all, fangirls literally idolize and baby the shit out of their male favorites and no one bats an eye because seeing the best in a male character is considered standard fare. Second, there is more to flawed characters than making bitchy remarks or playing the role of the mean girl so many who hate Elain want to cast her in. Being a people pleaser IS a flaw. Hiding your wants and feelings IS a flaw. Being too scared to venture outside of your bubble IS a flaw. Running away from your destiny IS a flaw. And these are all things that Elain will have to face in her story and makes her an interesting character all on her own with exactly what has been presented to us. She will have to become independent from her family, learn how to control her powers which are OBJECTIVELY the COOLEST we've seen and OP as hell. And she will have a romance with easily the hottest and most interesting male character in this series who has oodles of his own backstory and character development and destiny too. Elain fans see all of that potential and we are EXCITED. Just because she isn't your favorite doesn't mean we are delusional or "in for a rude awakening" whatever that means.

And most of y'all are so ship war brain rotted you can't even see that people who ship the same couples as you have legitimate reasons and interpretations for loving a character you deem boring and uninteresting. All because you'd rather win and be oppositional to a fault against an "enemy" than accept the diversity of opinions in your fan spaces.

I think when it comes to Elain’s character a lot of people only look at the Azriel Bonus Chapter, but she’s talked about heavily in the Feysand BC, and I believe that offers a lot of insight that most people overlook.

“Elain showed some teeth. I wasn’t expecting that.” Or what she’d said about her lingering trauma. I’d meant what I’d discussed with Nesta- how many times had I focused solely on my terror during Elain’s suffering.

I actually really love this moment of self reflection on Feyre’s part. No matter how much I love Feyre she’s not exactly the best at understanding others traumatic experiences and decentering herself when others are hurting/discussing what they endured. It doesn’t mean she doesn’t have the capability of doing so, but she’s only human (well fae but you get the point) even Feyre has acknowledged that she does this multiple times. Not just during this BC.

Elain and I had grown closer since the war with Hybern had ended. True. I may never go drinking with her the way I did with Mor, sometimes Amren. But, well, with a baby coming, I couldn’t drink anyway. And while I may never run to Elain first with problems or for advice, we had a peaceful, amicable understanding. I found her to be a pleasant companion. I wondered if she would resent that judgment, I certainly would.

Here’s the thing about the Archeron sisters. They’re great representation for estranged siblings. I see a lot of commentary about how SJM herself doesn’t write like she has siblings, but I don’t think that’s necessarily true. Because as someone who isn’t close with my sister either, I feel seen and represented here. Because I have best friends who I’m also closer to then my relative and while I may hang out with my sister every once and a blue moon, we don’t openly seek each other out for company and prefer out friends (and yes we’re estranged. And we prefer it that way it doesn’t mean we don’t still love each other, we’re just too different of people to truly get along or form a close connection. So I can relate to the Archeron siblings dynamic personally)

But this also displays that Feyre doesn’t truly know Elain. At least not in the ways she thinks she does. One thing I’ve learned from my experience as an estranged sibling is that we don’t always know our siblings like we think we do. Sure there’s a base line understanding, and core characteristics we see in our siblings. But we only see what they want us to see and that’s the case with Feyre here.

“Have you ever seen Elain act like that before?” “No. I mean she’s been brave when she’s had to be, but she’s never been confrontational.” “Maybe she was never given the chance to be that way.” “You think I stifle her?” “Not you alone. But ain’t wonder if everyone has spent so long Elain is sweet and innocent that she felt that she had to be that way or else she’d disappoint you all. With time and safety, perhaps we’ll see a different side of her emerge.”

I think this is a huge part of the conversation that the fandom tends to ignore about Elain. A lot of people think of Elain the same way her sisters do. I think like Nesta and Feyre, Elain struggles with fixing her sense of identity and a lot of characters before they go on their own journeys do this. Elain was thrust into a new world and a new body, the foundation she had crumbled and now she’s trying to navigate her way through that. But I don’t think that progress will be made with her sisters or with the IC. They coddle her and stifle any progress she could potentially have, and SJM is trying to tell us here that there is more to Elain than meets the eye and I’m excited to see if my assumptions about Elain are correct. Because until we get her POV. We only see the side of her that she choses to show her sisters. (Elain is a people pleaser. And I would love for her to see a new side of her emerge where she realizes that she can be herself around people, because nothing is more emotionally draining than trying to please everyone.)

“You think Elain is boring?” “I think she’s kind, and I’ll take kindness over nastiness any day. But I also think we haven’t seen all she has to offer.”

I do love the word choice that SJM chose here for Rhys when he was describing Elain. A lot of people will tell you there’s a difference between being nice and being kind. And just because a person is kind doesn’t mean they also don’t have teeth and their own sharp edges. And I do think that is who Elain is as a person. She doesn’t like to be mean to people, but she’s also not a push over. And has the capability to get things done through that kindness. She does things because she wants to. Not because she has to. Which is why subsections of this fandom infantilizing her and reducing her down to the bare bones of her characterization or who she is according to her sister’s perceptions of her annoy me. For all we know. None of us are right about Elain and who she is. But it’s going to be fun to figure out.

“Don’t forget gardening often results in something pretty. But it involves getting one’s hands dirty along the way.” “And torn up by thorns.”

Again I do love this passage. Because it shows how people perceive Elain. They always remark on her beauty. Even her own mother underestimated her. But Elain is probably one of the most persuasive of her sisters. She’s good at getting things done when it comes down to it and sometimes that means not always doing things in the ways that others would perceive as nice. Elain has always had teeth. She just doesn’t like showing them unless she has to.

I mused recalling a morning this past summer when Elain had come into the house her right palm bleeding from several gashes thanks to a stubborn rose bush that had pierced her gloves. The thorns had broke off in her skin, leaving sharp splinters that I’d had to pull free. I didn’t dare mention that If she had been wearing the enchanted gloves Lucien had gotten her last solstice, nothing would have pierced them at all.

If you’ve read the other bonus chapter you would understand how cheeky SJM is being here through Feyre. I see you SJM, I see you 👀👀

Elain and Lucien both functioning as a bridge between Feyre and her people, urging her to see the larger picture:

Lucien:

Lucien shuddered. “No. Amarantha had … camps for them. The nobles and favored faeries were allowed to dwell Under the Mountain. But if the people of a court weren’t working to bring in goods and food, they were locked in camps in a network of tunnels beneath the Mountain. Thousands of them, crammed into chambers and tunnels with no light, no air. For fifty years.”

“No one ever said—”

“It was forbidden to speak of it. Some of them went mad, started preying on the others when Amarantha forgot to order her guards to feed them. Some formed bands that prowled the camps and did—” He rubbed his brows with a thumb and forefinger. “They did horrible things. Right now, they’re trying to remember what it is to be normal—how to live.”

Elain:

“We have everything we need,” I admitted to Elain. “Buying presents feels excessive.”

“It’s their tradition, though,” Elain countered, her face still flushed with the cold. “One that they fought and died to protect in the war. Perhaps that’s the better way to think of it, rather than feeling guilty. To remember that this day means something to them. All of them, regardless of who has more, who has less, and in celebrating the traditions, even through the presents, we honor those who fought for its very existence, for the peace this city now has.”

I turned 31 today, idk why though, I feel like I am 15 or smth😆 Time flies by in a blink of an eye.

Oh??? Interesting

„Breathe deeply through the countdown to Acotar 6 and 7.”

It’s not linked to new books huh? Not at all

Well...not quite linked. They just used the idea from a year ago to bring for the marketing. But at least it's still marketing. Not a special clue though.

Bloomsbury making ACOTAR voting brackets: "Elain using Truth-Teller to kill *redacted*"

Some people: "she didn't kill KoH, only Nesta should be credited, and also let's make posts urging followers to vote for Nessian scene so Elain won't win."

ACOTAR6 and 7 news are coming out: "no, those things don't point at Elain at all, they point to Nesta/Azriel/Gwyn"

What's up with strong desire to take any spotlight away from a soft quiet feminine character?

luneserene

"Color palette? Definitely Dusk! (Yellow and crimson is defined as day color scheme on Google, Day Court's colors are amethyst, crimson, cobalt blue too, Elain wears those colors) Helion and Pegasi? The Valkyries! (Helion is Lucien's dad btw). Joy quote? Definitely pointing to Gwyn! (Although Elain has a lot of quotes about joy) "

SJM needs to drop the info, it's ridiculous at this point.
