I have this headcanon that Azriel takes Elain dancing………….. so here’s a really crap 30 minute gif/flipbook I made in Sketchbook Pro. 

If this doesn’t play/work, I’m sorry. I’ve never made a animated/drawn gif before in my life :’)

Azriel at some point after Nesta and Cassians mating ceremony:

[ladylochan]

If Nesta Made the house by willing it and it became her friend, no one can convince me that Elain can’t do the same for Azriel’s shadows. 

I can imagine shadows curling around her ankles like friendly cats. Shadows tangling in her hair just because they want to, casually tormenting Azriel with whispers of she smells like honey. Shadows nestling themselves around her like an overgrown pup as she sleeps.

Elain would love them too. Elain, who knows that light makes shadows, would thank the shadows cast by trees and bushes for shading the plants who can’t endure the constant shine of the sun. Elain would cup her hands together to feel the shadows swirl around against her palms, preening at the attention. She’d sit by the fire and watch the shadows dance, and oh, how they dance for that soft and lovely smile. 

Azriel’s shadows were born to protect him and keep him company in that dark dungeon. Of course an Elain who loves Azriel would come to love his shadows too, and they her.

Character Analysis: Elain Archeron

***ACOSF spoilers ahead! Also, ‘tis a long post…***

Alright, I want to talk about Elain. She’s a character I’ve come to really love and adore this past while. Someone who I first thought wasn’t very interesting and, honestly, a bit bland. From what we’ve seen, she’s been the true damsel amongst her sisters, always being coddled and cared for. There’s a slight sense of detachment with Elain, especially when we see that her own sisters don’t count her as their closest confidant. 

Elain As the Lead

I am so excited for a book focused on Elain’s journey. When Rhys said that Elain was letting everyone see the sweet & innocent girl they wanted to, this really opened my eyes to her potential (and also made me think of Elide). Even though I love Elain’s character, I did not anticipate that she purposefully put up a front for those around her. Now unlike Elide, who developed that manipulative side of her out of adversity, I think that Elain developed her’s out of a desire to please and not disappoint. We know from Nesta that Elain was the doll to be dressed up by their mother, considered the unambitious one. Growing up under such low expectations, sheltered all the while, naturally she’d do her best to play the part and earn whatever love she could. 

Those qualities became so central that she had to maintain them, even when the family fell on hard times. Through that bleak poverty, it was Elain who could bring joy and light into that home. Even while her sisters and father had strained relationships with one another, all of them loved Elain and I would argue that the love she could maintain was almost as (if not as much as) essential as the food and money Feyre provided. On this note, let’s also recognize that Elain was the one who bought those paints for Feyre with the money she quietly saved. 

Elain thus far has been a fairly cliché and predictable character (which are not necessarily bad things). Her adjectives can boil down to beautiful, positive, full of light, and she’s a damsel more often than not. I love the stories where characters like Elain grow into themselves and show how multifaceted they are. And we are definitely in store for that!

“Look who decided to grow claws after all,” she crooned. “Maybe you’ll become interesting at last, Elain.” -Nesta

What I really want to address in this post is the idea that Elain has no personality or that her character is only about gardening, baking, and ~light~. There are so many bits and pieces of Elain that we’ve seen that show how different she is and how promising her journey will be. I’ll expand on my favourite facets of her so far -

Keep reading

[rather-be-reading-books]

I keep seeing this quote used to back up the Elain is evil theory but I viewed it under a different light, maybe I’m wrong butttttttttt:

Nesta noticing Elain no longer got emotional at the mention of her ex-fiancé:

“She knew Elain had given her maidenhead to Graysen a month before they’d been turned Fae. Elain had been glowing the next morning. Elain cocked her head. Didn’t dissolve into the crying mess she usually became when Graysen came up.” - ACOSF (Chapter 17)

When I read this I interpreted it as her moving on from Greyson, and no longer having feelings for him. And it also goes hand in hand with Cassians observation of Az later in the book. It seemed as if both Elain and Azriel have moved on from their previous love interest:

“He was still happy to be Mor’s buffer with Azriel, but there’d been a change lately. In both of them. Mor no longer sat beside Cassian, draped herself over him, and Azriel … those longing glances toward her had become few and far between. As if he’d given up. After five hundred years, he’d somehow given up. Cassian couldn’t think why.” -ACOSF (Chapter 22)

[rather-be-reading-books]

Small things I need in the next ACOTAR Book (Elain/Elriel edition) :

🌹Drunk Elain: Something about a soft girl getting drunk and spilling her guts/letting out some of her feelings/true self while intoxicated and shocking everyone is just *chefs kiss*

🌹Elain with Tatoos

🌹Elain with a dagger strapped to her thigh while wearing her cute little amethysts, lilac colored dresses.

🌹Elain initiating a kiss, because the next time Azriel and her are “so close one deep breath would brush her breast against his chest.” She better grab him by his Illyrian leathers and kiss him before Rhys can interrupt them. She will not be left hanging again.

🌹Elain going after what she wants, standing up for her self. And maybe asking Mor to winnow her out of the house so she can have a night out by herself.

🌹More of her adorable sense of humor and her baking

🌹Elain finally letting out all her internalized feelings.

🌹Elain wearing the PROPER black outfit (Preferably styled by Mor) and making Cassian eat his words about her not looking good in Night Court attire. ***Bonus if cobalt stones are somehow incorporated***

🌹Elain saving Azriel’s life

🌹And finally: I don’t know why but I keep imagining Azriel taking up Rhys on his suggestion and going to a pleasure hall and somehow Elain is there, he see her unaware that it’s her and is drawn to her and our soft girl seduces this man within an inch of his life, up until he realizes its actually Elain and is left shook when she runs and leaves him this time. No further explanation because this scene lives rent free in my mind.

✨MANIFESTING ELAIN TAKING OVER AND REALIZING HER POTENTIAL✨

Now if you’ll excuse me I’m gonna go cry about the fact that we will have no answers until the next book 📚 🥲
