I love them so much like.. I LOVE THEM
Hello, Feyre, darling
Hunt and Bryce:
“His lightning flowed into her like a river, and he could have sworn he heard a beautiful sort of music between their souls…”
Azriel and Gwyn:
“Azriel entered the warmth of the stairwell, and as he descended, he could have sworn a faint, beautiful singing followed him. Could have sworn his shadows sang in answer.”
I am sick and tired of people manipulating and deflecting seriously problematic issues by weaponising fictional preferences.
With copious amounts of performative outrage everywhere mostly motivated by ships and shippers sometimes a genuine call out as a hurt POC and someone belonging to a minority gets lost which is exactly what happened in the recent situation about "Culture".
As an educated adult I can take responsibility for my own actions, I understand there were was one error on my end which I will correct . Moving forward I will make sure I am not going to mention which side or which character stan was responsible for a certain icky post so it is not used as a tool by others to play victim and deflect responsibility.
I couldn't care less which side these icky racist people belong to.
I am only tagging Gwynriel because most of my mutuals are Gwynriels !!!

I cannot possibly end Mermay without a Gwynriel commission and I am so so thrilled to share this stunning artwork of them!
@mostwantedpotato404 was such a pleasure to work with and the designs and details for Gwyn and Azriel are spot on to what I envisioned for them!
I hope you all love the comm!
She stopped mid-slice, whirling to face him. “I'm sorry. I knew you all were going to the river house, so I didn't think anyone would mind if I came up here, and-”
"It's fine. I came to retrieve something I forgot." The lie was smooth and cool, as he knew his face was. His shadows peered over his wings at her.
“Happy Solstice,” she said, as much a dismissal as it was a holiday blessing.
He snorted. “Are you kicking me out?”
Gwyn's teal eyes flashed with alarm. “No! I mean, I don't mind sharing the ring. I just ... I know you like to be alone.”
Her mouth quirked to the side, crinkling the freckles on her nose. “Is that why you came up here?”
Sort of. “I forgot something," he reminded her.
“At two in the morning?”
Pure amusement glittered in her stare. Better than the pain and grief he'd spied a moment before. So he offered her a crooked smile. “I can't sleep without my favorite dagger.”
"A comfort to every growing child."
I love how she showed her sassiness once Azriel showed his. I have a feeling Gwyn clocked Azriel lying in the first scene (nothing gets past her) but she was willing to let it go until Azriel's cheeky side came out. From then on? Instant call out.
150 days to go yet no cover, title or synopsis……
Imagine saying a character who hails from a community who is seen as lesser than others less cultured than the other character all because you don't like the attention that character is getting oh I know what you are
I wrote this in a comment originally, but you know what I’ll do a reblog.
Mind you, I still very much like all the characters and ships, I am *not* saying this for shipping reasons.
The issue here isn’t about what Azriel’s taste in music is in canon, or what Lucien’s might be (we don’t know cause we’ve never gotten his opinion on that front written into the books, so anything like that would be headcanons). The issue is the use of the word “culture,” which is not a neutral term when being applied to POC.
Yes, Lucien and Azriel are PoC in *our* world, but as far as the ACOTAR world they have highly different associations.
Lucien still is perceived as high fae, and a high fae who has largely interacted with / has been influenced thus far by courts that are more aligned with white western culture (Spring & Autumn, and I’m not including Day in this explanation because even though he has lineage there, he has not been *influenced* by the court). To clarify: I am not calling Lucien white, I’m saying he is influenced by the cultures of courts which SJM has chosen to position closer to white-western cultures. An apt comparison is like someone in the diaspora who grew up in a western country compared to someone back home: while there is still an element of race involved in their interactions, the person from the diaspora is usually seen by white-presenting people as more “acceptable” by western culture compared to the person brought up back home since their presentation is more conformist to western culture.
Azriel, is lesser fae, Illyrian. The word “lesser” in and of itself already has a negative connotation, but add do that the fact that Feyre has called Illyrians “barbaric” while also shifting into their wings, the fact that Illyrians are shown to be living in tents as highly militarized, misogynistic society…I blame SJM’s own biases towards POC for how Illyria is written, but it does not change the fact that this presentation of culture is aligned with the western view of POC cultures, and how white people have chosen to view and represent POC through words for decades. (If anyone’s read Joseph Conrad’s Heart of Darkness, the way SJM writes Illyrians is not dissimilar from the way Conrad wrote the Congolese people, and his words back then has shaped the way white people talk about POC, the same way SJM’s writing has shaped the way romantasy authors believe its acceptable to write POC.)
Saying “Azriel is less cultured” or would “prefer the music of the pleasure halls,” despite the fact that he is a singer and has been shown to have interest in music whereas Lucien has not been shown that only serves to reinforce in fandom the negative associations and portrayals of POC in canon through micro-aggressive language, rather than question those associations established and further implied by the author’s problematic writing.
By the way, yes I am aware that Azriel listened to Bryce’s music that is nothing like a symphony in CC3, but that does not mean he is less likely to enjoy symphonic music compared to Lucien, who has not been shown to take an interest in music. There’s tons of classics musicians who listen to rock and pop and club music, and that doesn’t make them less “cultured” for enjoying one over the both or enjoying both.
The issue with that post was not the Elucien headcanon, I even kk d of understand where OP might have been coming from. The issue lies in the combination of bringing in Azriel + using the word “culture” in a way that reaffirms the implication of those more aligned with POV culture to be “lesser” or incapable of appreciating said “culture(s)”.
If we’re holding other people accountable for micro-aggressive and actively-aggressive rhetoric, we need to be able to hold that standard for ourselves too when we slip up, rather than acting like it’s “not a big deal.” It’s not even just about characters, you share the space with POC and a lot of us have heard those words applied in similar contexts, and what you might not perceive as harmful is actually pretty damn demeaning to us.
Agreed. This whole more cultured less cultured is extremely triggering to POC as this is the same language the oppressors used to oppress us. Waltzing doesn't make one cultured. Hell what makes one cultured exactly? White culture is not the only one nor is it the blueprint. You're literally bashing a POC character for not fitting into the culture you seem superior (even though it's canonically not true). That does leaves a bad taste on people who sees the post, especially POC.
It's not about ships but your choice of words.
All this cause you're mad that people are talking about Azriel more
Imagine saying a character who hails from a community who is seen as lesser than others less cultured than the other character all because you don't like the attention that character is getting oh I know what you are

I love all of them but "I'll fight beside you" and "I know you can do it but let me help" will ALWAYS have my heart 💖
It’s one of those days that I can’t stop thinking about Gwyn’s “especially Azriel’s”
Oh they’re gonna be so much fun 🤭
”But Azriel tucked away the thought, consciously erasing the slight smile it brought to his face.”
I WILL NEVER SHUT UP ABOUT THIS!!!! BC WHAT DO YOU MEAN THE INFAMOUS SHADOWSINGER THAT RARELY SHOWS ANYTHING HAD TO CONSCIOUSLY EARSE RHE SMILE FROM HIS FACE?!?!!!! HAD TO LITERALLY FORCE HIMSELF TO STOP SMILING AT THE THOUGHT OF GWYNS EYES!!!!?
imagine reading that and not thinking it’s the cutest fucking shit ever pls couldn’t be me
