The Elucien Mommy and Daddy bracelets made me remember about these WIPs! And by WIPs I mean please squint because these are the definition of underbaked. I know this will probably land me on some weirdo E/riel hit list but I love the idea of Lucien and Elain having a bunch of kids. They both seem like they'd LOVE being parents.

Here's Daddy Lucien:

He's the type of dad who loves doing his girls' (and boys') hair and will only let Elain do it if she absolutely insists.

Mommy Elain:

Elain I imagine being the world's funnest mom and wants to play with her kids 24:7. She bakes them their favorite meals for the entire week of their birthdays and forces everyone to obsess over each of them. If you're wondering who the most energetic one is it's the Lucien flavored one in the middle, obviously.

Something fun I wanted to try! I'm going to do an Elain foreground version next!

Here's the speedpaint of it!

I hope Elain is actually growing weed. That’s why she’s sneaking off. Let our girl get some bud growing. Making some edibles for the elderly fae in Velaris. I know she makes a bomb ass weed brownie.

If you try to logic your way through acotar, you just end up with a headache

Happy pride to those 5 seconds where Charlie Swan thought Jacob was coming out to him in the most insane way possible

As someone who actually works in marketing, campaign planning, and strategic planning, elriels discourse is hilarious.

We pitch ideas all the time that won't see the light of day for six months, a year, or even longer. Sometimes concepts get approved and shelved until the budget is available, a new fiscal year starts, a larger campaign comes together, or the timing becomes more relevant. That's literally how marketing works.

So yes, I can absolutely guarantee that if Emily pitched this idea, BB signed off on it when they felt it would be relevant to their broader strategy vs last year. And let's not forget, Emily has been on BB's marketing team for two years. Shes not just any influencer lmao. They keep proving how little they know, but can’t expect that group to use critical thinking skills can we? The way some people are twisting themselves into knots trying to explain this away is wild. They're gaslighting themselves so hard they've lost sight of how real-world businesses actually operate.

The funniest part is watching people who have clearly never worked a day in marketing confidently explain how marketing works to professionals. Most of them don’t even have jobs and it shows.

But but but 3rd party companies are releasing merch related to e/riel and that's totally clues for the upcoming books!!! /S

“I love the Valkyries!”

“So you hate the Archeron sisters.”

No bitch, that’s a whole new sentence.

Them: The Valkyries are not significant

Bloomsbury: Hold my beer

[ratgirl2020]

We know that the annotated book was brought by one of the influencers and so what? Another fake "gotcha" moment from the e/riels.

Bloomsbury put together this AD event, first in a long while and months away from acotar 6, that showcased the Valkyries. There's tons of Valkyrie merchandise out there already and we do not care in relation to acotar 6. But a Bloomsbury ad event? Yes, this matters. Gwynriel confirmed? Not until we get the book but we love Bloomsbury confirming the importance of the Valkyries.

They rented, or collaborated to get, a pilates studio's space on a Saturday. They created Valkyrie themed bags, shirts, water bottles and socks.

Bloomsbury started their marketing campaign on the same day, using the same color scheme. Ironically, highlighting the quote that states that there is a tendency for people to roll their eyes at anything that brings JOY.

Let's not forget the most debated scene from ACOSF. I'm sure Bloomsbury didn't forget.

[pinkfuneral7]

One of the biggest problems of this fandom (and society in general) is thinking in absolute and forgetting the multiple things can be true at once.

The Valkyries can have a focus in the next book AND Elain can still have her story too (even if it’s not in the next book).

The books can be about the sisters AND other strong female characters like Gwyn, Emerie and Mor.

Fans can be excited for Gwynriel AND be excited to see more about Nesta and Emerie.

People can love Feyre AND Nesta AND Elain

People can be excited to read more about the Valkyries AND be disappointed if Elain and Lucien’s story is pushed to the last book.

Let’s remember this going into the title announcements and remember fandom is supposed to be fun!

[narcolepticdigidestined]

At this rate it feels like e/riels are a big circle jerk/ trolling the fandom cuz how can they be this delusional and contradictory 🙃

[lplusl]

It’s not some random company, it’s Bloomsbury.

Magazine articles that say “fans suspect” mean nothing vs a marketing rollout directly from the publisher being Valkyrie centered.

They didn’t have to do a Pilates Class. The class was done specifically to accommodate the Valkyrie’s theme, not the other way around.

We have ALWAYS said NESTA’S story wasn’t done. We’ve been saying: where Nesta goes, the Valkyries go. And where Nesta goes, Azriel goes.

Cope harder.

[narcolepticdigidestined]

I've always said Nesta would have more pov in the next book but ppl were so caught up on the one story per couple thing SJM said once.

[kjanon]

VALKYRIES are Back?

Not Bloomsbury posting about the Valkyries. The Valkyries that are supposedly side characters and will never be relevant again. Not the Valkyries that had a huge build up in Nesta's book. I wonder why BB is promoting them.. I wonder if they're going to have a plot in ACOTAR6 with a certain shadow singer🤔
