The hate towards Elain is awfully personal. It had stop being cristicism for her action a long time ago and become more about who she is as a character. They could use back handed compliment in a decorative powerpoint slide but it will never mask that hidden deep and personal hate of her existence in the story. All her contribution and growth often, either being discredited or deem as irrelevant. The need to degrade her and put her dignity through the mud just because a man’s feeling got hurt and for the fact that she’s a THREAT to their ship.
Noticed that antis often have this wishful thinking of Elain to…..
Beg on her knees for Lucien
Be this aggresive jealous person and willing to attack gwyn over Azriel’s affection??
Betray her family for no concrete reasons
Nesta/Azriel/IC will come for Elain for hurting Gwyn
be this hateful person when the canon had describe her to be one of the kindest people
the womb theory. What a great contribution to feminism holy shit.
they know its unlikely for sjm to write these but still, “WoUldNt iT bE fUn iF It dOEs haPPen” 🙄
They never denied those takes being misogynistic either, instead they put it under the “She’s not a real person” or “This will make her more interesting and complex” umbrella. Sure sure
The difference between Mor and Elain is that Elain reciprocate Azriel’s feeling. So, they couldnt stop at “I dont ship Elain and Azriel”. That’s not enough to legitimise gwynriel and to disqualify Elain as Azriel’s ‘love interest’.
To uplift Gwyn, Elain need to be this loser, pathetic and unlikable woman. And often than not, they will put Gwyn in the victim position and Elain as the perpetrator.
Potraying Elain as this Evil and Jealous woman, served their preferred ship’s narrative. They need to counter attack the traits Sjm had wrote for Elain, to deem her as an unworthy lover. At best she can only be Azriel’s ‘hookup material’.
They need this so much in order for their ship to appear superior because atm they know the only way for Azriel to ‘choose’ gwyn is for him to ‘unchoose’ Elain.
Not in a way that elain’s the girl who got away and therefore Az go with gwyn. They need gwyn to be the first choice uncontested. So how can they achieved that??? Aha u guess it…
Loser, pathetic and unlikable Elain. Dismissed after the first hookup no less.
Do you guys remember that account on Twitter (while it was still Twitter, this was a while ago) called like "CanonGwynrielMoments" but everything they posted was an Elriel quote and they'd go "oh no oh wait i'm sorry that was the wrong one hold on!!!" and then they'd do it again 😂 That was a great time
I believe I saw four accounts from Gwynriel harrasing them and two are kinda known gwynriels like amandapearls and booknwriting. They will never see a known elriel account harassing a company but they always claim that we were stalkers and bullies and would blame it on a made up account. I worried for sarah j when the book comes out I'm sure they'll be worse and would actually do her harm.
Weekly crash out is their new norm. Can't wait for October.
Nothing to say but being a gw/nriel and el/cien at times like this is a humiliation ritual. So embarrassing. If you're associated with those three known GA and EL accounts who harasses the business then damn, maybe time to question your side.
You know what the difference is between Elriels, ELs and GAs? Thalia, they never felt harassed or bullied. You know what they did? They made a TikTok video making fun of the whole situation.
You know what’s happening with LitJoy right now? Just like every other company that has ever posted something about Elriel, they’re deleting posts because they’re being bullied and harassed by you. That’s the difference.
I think today proved exactly what side of the fandom has Sarah scared to engage with us. And spoiler alert, It’s not Elriels. Gwynriels and Eluciens bullying LitJoy into changing their slides is not the least bit surprising. Once again beclowning themselves and embarrassing the fandom as a whole.
And it’s funny how it’s never random troll accounts doing it. It’s big creators and well known accounts.
Not only her, but also the other eluciens and gwynriels on that comment section harassing a business just because their ship wasn't mentioned. And here I thought it was elriels who are toxic and would threaten SJM when the book comes out?
I guess when the book comes out, they will still refuse to believe what is written and will push the narrative they want. As usual, they will interpret it based on what they want to happen not on what the author is showing and then they will say "Book 7" will end in different light and different couple but I am sure once book 7 is out and it doesn't go in their way they will push the "anything can still happen in book 8". We're dealing with people who are so far gone from their shit and couldn't accept canon and then project that it's Elriels who doesn't like canons when over the years we were being consistent because we stick to the source material. Idk man. Just thinking of dealing with their mental gymnastics for another 2-3 years until book 8 is truly a feat.
Sarah's own words? My interpretation is not like that
The juniper books? It is just nothing
All the other news? Meh
Articles about mate rejection? Means nothing
The books and all the time elriels were right? They were gwynriel theories first "we stole it"
Bonus chapter Elriel almost kissing? Toxic
Azriel wanting Elain? He doesnt know what he wants
Elain wanting Azriel? OMG HOW COULD SHE DO THAT POOR LUCY
All the articles about Elain being next? NAHHHHH
Sarah saying next books are one book but 3 volumes? Novella..... and tandem. And lord of the rings. And first book gwynriel and thw second is elucien and the last one is multi.
I mean.....if you are gonna find an excuse to every little thing maybe the problem is you? I can go on but like? Excuses and excuses and excuses....
it is never ending.
They will read Elriel happy and it will be like "NAHHH THEY WILL BREAK UP. THIS IS TAMLIN AND FEYRE 2.0"
Omg I just realized...we always say Elain sees and Azriel hears right? But in here Azriel is connected with "eyes" so the eyes under his comment. And in acowar we have this
“The sixth queen is alive?” Azriel asked, calm and steady, the voice of the High Lord’s spymaster, who had broken enemies and charmed allies.
Elain cocked her head, as if listening to some inner voice. “Yes.”
So a seer listening...a shadowsinger seeing. Connected through their powers.
