@elriel-month | Gardens

Azriel smiled faintly. “Would you like me to show you the garden?” She seemed so small before him, so fragile compared to the scales of his fighting leathers, the breadth of his shoulders. The wings peeking over them. But Elain did not balk from him, did not shy away as she nodded—just once.

Azriel, graceful as any courtier, offered her an arm. I couldn’t tell if she was looking at his blue Siphon or at his scarred skin beneath as she breathed, “Beautiful.” Color bloomed high on Azriel’s golden-brown cheeks, but he inclined his head in thanks and led my sister toward the back doors into the garden, sunlight bathing them.

It’s not Bloomsbury or SJM’s fault you all hate Elain so much you latched on to a side character. It’s not their fault your reading comprehension was thrown out the window just so you can force Elain and Azriel apart. It’s all been right there for several books, and that bonus chapter you cling to? It only showed us that Az is down bad for Elain and that Elain wants him.

One thing I’m looking forward to in ACOTAR 6 is for Azriel to be the most simping, pitiful, yearning LOSER. I want him to ache and break and lose more sleep. Miss family dinners. I want him to stop coming at all. I want him to yearn so hard that he cannot help but tear up at the sound of her mirth because he’s always hearing her laugh, never the source of her laughter. I want him to go INSANE in pain. Bonus points if begging is involved.

SJM. PLEASE LET AZRIEL YEARN.

these two scenes still haunt my days...Elain being fine with Feyre leaving her behind and shocked that Feyre & Azriel risked their lifes to rescue her, my shaaaaayla😭😭😭😭

Which makes me wonder… does Elain think she’s not important? Does she think she’s expendable and a burden and would settle with the idea of people forgetting about her?

Does she think she’s useless?

That her purpose is not important enough because it’s small or “expected”?

Like a housewife that believes what she does is expected of her, like it’s not work.

Like a gardener that looks at warriors and leaders and thinks “what could I possibly do to aide the suffering?”

Does she sometimes hate herself for her softness?

Like a healer who wishes softness could wield weapons too? Gentleness could help defend? Kindness could win wars?

Oh the tragedy of the Seer seeing everyone but herself.

The tragedy of the Seer wanting to see herself from eyes unknown or not at all.

The tragedy of the Seer not being seen.

She obviously has some internalized feelings of inadequacy. If we go by that interaction in ACOSF where Nesta says:

"Look who decided to grow claws after all,' she crooned. 'Maybe you've become interesting at last, Elain." Nesta saw the blow land, like a physical impact, in Elain's face, her posture. No one spoke, though shadows gathered in the corners of the room, like snakes preparing to strike.

Elain knows how people perceive her and her reaction here indicates she feels it is true, that she is not good enough, doesn't measure up to her sisters and that is her whole thing isn't it? The burden of always trying to meet other's expectations of you.
