Bro if Azriel says “It’s not about wanting a mate. It’s about wanting HER” my soul will descend.

We’ve all heard tales of the moon being made of cheese, but what if it were made of bones? Bone fragments. Bone dust. Partial skeletons from animals we have no name for, no knowledge of. What if the moon were made of bones?

Elain was a relatively happy human woman engaged to a man she loved. After a lifetime of being groomed to be a perfect gentile wife and being told “at least she’s pretty” and that was all that she was worth. Her younger sister accidentally murders a fae and is forced into fae life away from everything she’s ever known, subsequently falls in love with not one but two fae males which leads to her sisters death and being made fae. Sister returns home to ask for help preparing for war. She brings 3 of the most powerful fae males ever to live. One of those males are automatically drawn to you and you to him. Aforementioned war catches up with you and ends with you being taken prisoner and forced into a magical cauldron and forcefully turned into a fae as an experiment. After being turned into a fae, you lose your fiancée, life, and sanity. You end up growing close with the same male you were drawn to when you met and he becomes your lifeline and best friend whilst developing romantic feelings for each other. He’s also the one who figures out what is wrong with you and how to help.

Please tell me how any of this is “boring and overdone” or lame or not settling up an epic romance. Please tell me how two random redheads are more important and better suited for these characters. Please explain how any of the above would result in an author changing her story that has already been written and built up over 4+ books and almost 20 years. All because of a small, angry and delusional section of fans who think they know best.

“Whatever Azriel has done for Elain, he has already done for Mor but with Mor, there were actual feelings behind it.”

I am sorry but what? Read the books.

Azriel & Mor

“Mor opened her mouth, but Azriel laid a scarred hand atop hers. She snatched her hand back as if she’d been burned…”

“Getting Azriel to take any time for himself that didn’t involve work or training was nearly impossible. When I pointed out that he did go to Rita’s with her whenever she asked, Mor simply informed me that it had taken her four centuries to get him to do that.”

“I’m fairly certain Azriel has a drawer full of all the daggers I’ve bought him throughout the centuries that he’s too polite to throw away, but won’t ever use.”

“You honestly think he’d ever give up Truth-Teller?” “He gave it to Elain,” Mor said…”

Azriel & Elain

“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.’”

“…as he extended a hand. Nesta monitored him like a hawk, but kept silent as Elain took his hand, and out they went.”

“Azriel smiled faintly. ‘Would you like me to show you the garden?’”

“Azriel was sprawled on the chaise longue across the gray stones, sunning his wings and reading what looked to be a stack of reports..”

“‘Can I set you up in the garden? The herbs you planted are coming in nicely.’ ‘I can help her,’ said Azriel, stepping to the table as Elain silently rose.”

“Azriel and Elain remained in the sitting room, my sister showing him the plans she’d sketched to expand the garden in the back of the town house, using the seeds and tools my family had given her tonight. Whether he cared about such things, I had no idea.”

“‘This is Truth-Teller,’ he told her softly. ‘I won’t be using it today—so I want you to.’”

“But she'd gotten Azriel one last year -- a headache powder he kept on his nightstand at the House of Wind. Not to use, but just to look at. Which he'd done every night he’d slept there. Or attempted to sleep there.”

Of course there is going to be some lingering feelings and weird dynamics with a group of people that have known each other for hundreds of years! Even Cassian and Mor had some interesting moments when it was clear him and Nesta were endgame.

But we’ve seen comparisons right in canon text of Elain taking Azriel’s hands, Azriel doing something other than work or training with Elain and it didn’t take her 400 years to get him to do it, Azriel keeping Elain’s gift on his nightstand not thrown in a drawer, and Azriel giving Elain truth-teller.. not Mor or anyone else.

im also obsessed with the interpretation of the blood ocean not being inherently evil or malevolent, in fact, it starts off rather loving. or at least, what it perceives to be loving. it wants simon to become part of it. it could've absorbed the iron lung and mutated it so long ago - we saw how quickly things went to shit in the final act. but its slow, always there in the corner for simon to be constantly aware of it, like a friend letting you know theyre always in your corner. it keeps the oxygen supply going despite the fact it should've run out days ago. it throws him into the cave. it talks to him, tries to entice him to join in anyway it can. come see the truth, it could save you, it has the answers you've been looking for. if that doesn't work, maybe guilt tripping is the answer, reflect on filament station, simon. "i see you". an acknowledgement. simon runs out of tape so the blood mutates to hold the photograph button for him. but the more defiant simon becomes, the more focused on his own survival he is, the angrier the ocean becomes. the creature couldve swallowed him so many times. clearly the radiation isn't actually a threat to it, we see it being blasted so many times in the end, but it continues its chase after him once it kills ava. the creature backing off in the caves after the photograph was a conscious decision. it couldve lashed out right then and there, but it backed off. "hey, im not a threat, im just watching, im right here for when you're ready".

just like eden, just like the COI, the ocean tries to force simon into a life he never really wanted. because he never seems to get a choice.

i just can't stop thinking about an ocean that thinks itself benevolent, when really, its just as cruel as the rest of humanity. or maybe, its humanity that is as cruel as nature. or is it a God? does it even matter?
