“Give Elain to Tamlin. I want her to leave Az and Lucien alone”

This is one of the most evil and horrible things you could ever said abt a woman even if she’s fictional.

Is because you know Tamlin is an abuser. Thats why you want her to go to him.

I dunno guys, wishing a woman end up with an abuser do tell something abt how you think as a person. Wishing a woman misery in the hands of a man is a thing id never wish to my enemy.

yall can hide under the “but she’s not real” umbrella all u want but the fact your mind go to that direction when thinking abt a woman is so frightening.

Azriel doesn’t need someone to understand his darkness. Azriel needs someone who thinks he’s MORE than the darkness he was forced into. More than a killing machine, a torturer. This man has never even been given the chance to be anything else.

Of course he’s going to become obsessed with the sweet, kind female who refused to be made hard by the things that were done to her. The female who was comforted by his presence, who looked at his biggest insecurity and couldn’t help but call it beautiful. Someone, he desperately hopes, that can see every part of him and maybe still love him.

To her, he isn’t a shadowsinger. He’s just Azriel.

I swear, some of you are setting yourselves up for disappointment. You’ve spent five years convincing yourselves that Rhys is secretly evil, the entire Inner Circle are manipulative monsters, and Elain is suspicious and is going to betray everyone. At some point, you have to ask whether that’s actually the story Sjm has been telling or just the version you’ve created in your own head.

If that’s the book you’re expecting, honestly, just write the fanfic yourself, because I think you’re going to be very disappointed by the actual books. And then you’ll all come back bitching about how “what a disappointment,” “lazy writing,” blah blah blah, when the reality is that the books just didn’t match the story you’d already written in your own heads.

You've heard of the man, the myth, the legend. Now get ready for the woman, the omen, the portent.

[merymoonbeam]

"the guy is hot but..." That but was negative btw.

You guys don't get it at all.

"he is a good guy give him a chance" = the guy is hot but...

Nice/hot = not endgame bc AGENCY matters. If she doesnt want it...she doesnt want it. End of story.

But/this/that/could it....NOPE.

Female = "no" = end of story

Go read fanfic if you want it.

Last night I was rereading this scene from ACOWAR and noticed something... I’m not sure if I’m reading too much into it, but I still find it interesting:

In the scene, Elain talks about what she heard through her visions and Azriel immediately picks up on it, meanwhile, Feyre keeps questioning her but Elain just keeps rambling about the visions ignoring hee entirely. Then Azriel asks, “What did you see?” and that’s the impressive part: Elain never actually said she saw anything; she never specified it was visual, but when he asks her, she answers him directly even turning back to look at him:

That moment; him realizing that what she was describing was something she’d seen--basically makes Azriel the one who realizes she’s a seer, even before he says it outright chapters later!

Like how was he able to piece that together when everyone including her "mate" thought she’d gone mad? I know it could be part of his abilities as a shadowsinger and spymaster, but the way he connects the dots really gives off mate-behavior. Which brings me back to what Madja said about the bond--how it’s a bridge between souls:

It almost feels like Azriel, without even realizing it, already sensed what was happening to Elain... that he understood her in a way that only he could. 💙🩷

I’m telling you E/uciens have strange morals

Why are they so against personal agency?? I’ll never get that 😭

[mabevil]

watching e/uciens say with their full chest that elain shouldn’t have agency in her mating bond really solidifies everything elriels have been saying about that side for 5+ years

[ofduskcourts]

To be very clear, there is nothing inherently wrong with liking fated mates as a trope, seeking out content where fated mates are a focus, etc. Where people lose me is:

Claims that "Fate SHOULD overcome choice!!!"

Deciding what an author NEEDS to do within the trope or that the trope needs to be fulfilled a certain way

The seemingly inevitable focus on the fulfillment of the men in the fated mates situation

Related to the point above, the refusal to analyze the weird gender essentialism / heterocentric aspect of most fated mate bond situations

The refusal to understand that not all books using an aspect of the fated mates trope are going to do so without examination. "BUT THEY'RE MATES!!!" literally should not be an acceptable argument as to why EL should be endgame in the world as SJM has set it up.

Liking a trope, reading a certain kind of fiction, etc, does not inherently mean you believe certain things should be true in the real world. But the way you defend or talk about the trope in context can absolutely reflect troubling ideas, especially where women and agency are concerned, and no - - I don't think that should be left unexamined.

[elainsvisions]

Something tells me that if their kiss gets interrupted again, Elain won't let it end there.

This time, she'd be the one closing the distance, taking Azriel by surprise, and finally stealing the kiss they've both been waiting far too long for.

Enough interruptions, enough longing, Elain's getting her kiss.

A huge thank you to @aurithemoon for this absolutely breathtaking comic. I'm completely obsessed with the way you draw Elain and Azriel. Thank you for sharing your incredible talent with us.

The POV is surprising because of what it revealed to her. NOT the POV is a surprise. Listening and reading skills down 100%

[moonglowgarden]

I find it interesting that the people who hate Elain for being quiet, introverted and not as vocal about her thoughts and feelings, are the same ones who revere and admire Azriel for possessing these same exact mannerisms and traits.

When a woman shows reticence and reservedness, she’s labeled as ‘boring’, ‘uninteresting’ and ‘plain’, but when a man exhibits these same exact qualities, he’s ‘mysterious’, ‘nuanced’ and ‘complex’.

I love and admire both Azriel and Elain for these qualities - in fact, I think that’s what makes them such a good fit for each other. They’re very similar - but they also have many differences between them that will inspire and initiate such beautiful growth and healing within them together.

I wish that Elain was shown the same respect as Azriel for being soft-spoken and exhibiting a more quiet demeanor.

Classic Katie and “did you read the BC” G/ynriels… they’re so embarrassing. Telling Jordin Sparks how to understand the books because of a FCKING BC… 💀

Do you guys really not have anything else besides whatever you think you got from the BC? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Make sure you really focus on how it’s written HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

And what’s written is:

Azriel wants to eat Elain’s pussy, boobies, lips and neck

And Elain is just horny as him and dgaf that they are in the middle of the river house while everyone else is sleeping including her loser mate

Put it on me is the hidden meaning of Put it IN me

Put these people in the 5th house in CC

House of losers and BC professors
