Just a kind reminder that it's possible to dislike the antics of a certain set of shippers but also not malign an entire generation of people OR say that they're mentally ill at the same time.
Signed,
A millennial who has had friends and family suffering from schizophrenia and who is definitely not an elriel
Oh come now. Creating endless burner accounts to harass people didn't work before, nor is it going to work now. Perhaps it's worth examining, not so mysterious person who may or may not be mortal or belong to Elain, that Gwynriels and Eluciens don't see your stuff because everyone sensible in this fandom has already blocked you and is wise to this tactic by now.
You're not 'exposing' or 'unmasking' anyone. You're not some intrepid investigator uncovering a big secret - those exist but they're out there in warzones and shedding light on serious problems in the world. You're just sad and mad that someone doesn't like the precious character you hardcore self-inserted into and now you're throwing an 'anonymous' tantrum on the internet but trying to call it something else so it's just thismuch less pathetic.
Please try getting a job, or a new hobby. This is just embarrassing.
(Thank you in advance, darling Eluciens and Gwynriels, for reporting and blocking the fools in our tags. You're making fandom a nicer place for us all!)
I'm not sure who needs to hear this, but hollering on and on about the sins of a person who has already deleted their account doesn't make you a good person.
Ask yourself: are you trying to mitigate further harm? Have you reached out to the artists affected? Have you discussed the issue with friends or people on the other side of the shipping war who might have known that person or been affected by their actions?
Because if not, then that's called performative activism and it helps no one. Plus it makes you look insincere and like you're just jumping on the finger-pointing bandwagon.
Gosh it was so nice taking a break from all this...
Perhaps a group so hell belt on preserving the morality of this fandom (in this example, screaming about how all Eluciens and Gwynriels are in cahoots with one another for their eeeeeevil and dastardly deeds when it was one specific person stiffing artists) should take a long hard look in the mirror.
Where's the moral purity in harassing companies, again? Or same question, but for people in the fandom whose shipping takes you don't agree with?
Oh, those aren't pertinent enough examples? Okay, what about the lengths certain parties go to to shield individuals who called a character's brutal rape and the murder of her sister 'a bad afternoon'? Or the dozens of shell accounts made for the sole purposes of harassing others in the fandom - again - for shipping takes? Or better yet, impersonating people online and making threats to others in their name? Or threatening SJM's kids if your ship doesn't come true? Or doxxing her friends?
But I guess none of that really counts, or it's all a joke or the blame REALLY lies with us.
The thing is, the rest of us - in this case, Eluciens and Gwynriels - recognize the bad eggs in our midst and warn people off of socializing with them. We ban ours from appreciation weeks and make sure people know the shit they've been up to; I don't see the same thing happening on the other side of the aisle. If it is - that is, if actual, actionable steps have been taken to deal with any of the exceptionally problematic people posting on behalf of the Blameless and Very Real Person Elain Archeron, then great. I'd love to see it. I'll even admit I was mistaken if any proof that that's happened arises.
But in the meantime, I have a VERY hard time taking any blanket accusations against Eluciens and Gwynriels seriously when I know they're coming from hardcore e/riels who not only turn a blind eye to bad behavior but actively seem to encourage it. 🤷♀️
Eluciens and Gwynriels, we're in for a hell of a ride the next three months as the other side grows increasingly... um... yeah. Whatever you want to call harassing companies, bombarding comment sections with abuse, and driving people out of fandom all while remaining 'so unbothered'.
Please take care of yourselves, and each other. We deserve better. This FANDOM deserves better.
It doesn't count as a hateful anon if you send it to yourself. :)
Just a fun reminder!
I'm not a lawyer, so forgive me if this is a silly question - but isn't (1) impersonating someone's name on a fake social media account and then (2) using that fake account to threaten a real life person with grounds for, oh... legal action?
Because last I checked, deleting one's account still leaves behind IP logs, which are traceable by various legal entities (e.g., cops) assuming they have the means and impetus to do so. Each platform handles how long they keep these logs differently, but the fact remains - anonymity is not guaranteed just because you don't put your real name on something and then try to cover your tracks later. (Or if you, say, use multiple accounts.)
Anyway, some people really need to take a big step back and ask themselves whether a fictional bat's romantic ship is worth dealing with the hassle of being sued, or having the police breathing down their neck. The internet is forever, people.
Big hugs to those affected, no one should have to deal with such childish, spiteful behavior. So glad there are so many of us on the sane side of things.
18 sockpuppet accounts and counting by e/riels (since I started keeping track a few months ago anyway, so the number is probably much higher). By my stats:
(note, depending on the name, the letter L has been replaced by /, A by @, T by |, or H by # so I don't clutter feeds or tag people just in case any of these accounts still exist)

That's 60+ posts, 18 fake accounts, and counting. I know for a fact it's more than 60 posts because the ones I didn't screenshot are boring or reposts.
Truly, can we have one - just one! - day without them manufacturing some sort of drama or fake outrage?
Thank you as always, my Elucien and Gwyriel shipping friends and family, for not being like this. Looking forward to October and beyond.
I once again thank my lucky stars that Gwynriels and Eluciens don't feel the childish, sad need to spoof someone else's blog for attention.
Keep being amazing, y'all. <3
Can you even imagine the kind of life one must live to create multiple anon accounts just to whine about a fictional ship you don't like and the people who do like it?
Yeah, me neither. 😎
Anyway, here is your PSA that there's a new troll in town, friends. You know the drill: block, report, and rejoice in the fact that we have friends and social lives and don't need to resort to such things.
Hearts to you all (except for the troll and whatever sad cronies are in on this - no hearts for them).
You'd think it would be common sense that if one hates a ship tag, one should, oh, say... block said tag and not post in it.
Apparently, though, there are many folks out there who lack common sense as well as common decency.
(And my Gwynriel and Elucien friends, it's not us.)
I really do try to keep things positive on here and I'll go back to that shortly but... I'm actually just fuming mad at finding an anti in the Elucien tags who straight out admitted she was posting to our tags to tell us we were writing "fanfiction bullshit".
What I'm getting out of this is that it's perfectly acceptable for others to come into our tags to insult us, yet heaven forbid someone uses e/riel tag, even accidentally(!), to discuss anything with even a whiff of support for Elucien and Gwynriel. Classic "rules for thee but not for me."

Genuine actors don't make fake accounts to screenshot themselves on main and call people slurs. This is just getting ridiculous.
Eluciens and Gwynriels: block and report this fool. Enough is enough with them.
Another anon that definitely hasn't screenshotted their main account to prop up their dumbass statements has entered the tags. Yay...
You know what to do, Gwynriels and Eluciens: report the posts and account, do not engage with them, block the account, and don't reblog their crap. Make sure that afterwards, you also take comfort and pride in the fact that we're not sad, weird stalkers who need to bully others to feel good about ourselves.
🥰 to you all!
Hopefully this doesn't need to be said but after seeing a baiting post in tags...
You do not need to answer hateful anons.
You do not need to justify why you like Elucien/Gwynriel to anyone. EVEN if they ask nicely. So much of that side is bad actors acting in bad faith; don't expose yourself to that nonsense. Just block and move on.
See a hateful post in the wrong tags? Report it, block the OP, move on. Do not give them a platform or an audience.
Think of the antis like tantruming toddlers. They feel like they've been given an inch and now want to take a mile; don't give them any ground. :)
Stay frosty, Gwynriels and Eluciens! <3
Wishing all Gwynriels and Eluciens a happy-and-hopeful announcement day!
Say what you want about Gwynriels and Eluciens, but at least we don't feel the need to make fake accounts every few days using screenshots of our own stuff to abuse e/riels.
(That's because we're confident in our ships. 😎)
