bros just so malleable

Why do people keep pitting Azriel and Lucien against each other?

That doesn't bring out their full potential! You know what does?

Putting Azriel and Lucien with each other!

Preferably in a bed!

Ideally fucking!

Thank you for your attention

See you in the next Ted Talk🥸

[acourtofquestions]

My brain at 3am: Maybe the true answer for peace in the the Elucien/Elriel (Gwynriel, etc.) debate is actually that neither has been given a direct answer. Or a fair shot, or time to develop, esp. with a main characters perspective.

Maybe there’s supposed to be merit within both and interpretations for the viewer to hold onto while we wait.

…Kinda keeps fandoms alive sometimes…

[luthientinuvielss]

my aesthetic is azrien in suits secretly making out after some inner circle celebration with lucien taking a glass of champagne from azriel’s hand to initiate the kiss and azriel holding onto lucien’s jacket because his legs are giving out

[birdiethebibliophile]

rhycien or azrien or maybe tarcien for the shipping meme? you can choose whichever you like the most i just need lucien to be in it bc you know SMOL, GAY GINGER FOX IS MY WEAKNESS <333

I DON’T KNOW WHO YOU ARE BECAUSE ANON BUT SAME

and because I have No Self-Control I’ll write all three of em it’s your lucky day

Rhycien

falls asleep on the couch

Rhys. The loser. Lucien rolls his eyes but takes the opportunity to pet his hair very gently because Rhys can tend to be overdramatic when he’s awake and that does not leave very many gentle hair touching opportunities.

makes friends with the neighbors

Rhys. And then before they know it Rhys somehow has control of their stocks and their bank account, but they don’t mind because he’s such a charming young man.

is the adventurous eater

Neither. They’re both kind of snobs about that kind of thing. The trick is that Rhys pretends he isn’t, and orders adventurous stuff and then just eats half of what Lucien got. Because Lucien has accepted his picky eating as a fact of life.

hogs the covers at night

Rhys tries to, but honestly, he’s no match for Lucien. Lucien is a master cover-hogger and ends up with all the blankets every single night. Rhys complains about this constantly. Lucien doesn’t care.

forgets to do the dishes

Lucien. Rhys was never going to do the dishes in the first place. Either way, the dishes don’t get done.

tries to surprise their partner more often

Rhys, going off of @valamerys‘s recent headcanons, usually with ridiculously over-the-top gifts that Lucien loves to hate.

leaves dirty laundry on the floor

Rhys. You can always tell it’s his clothes because it’s literally all black. Lucien couldn’t quite believe it when he saw Rhys’s closet. “You dress like a cartoon character. An evil cartoon character.”

stays up til 2 AM reading

Lucien. Rhys doesn’t particularly like to read, unless it’s smutty romance novels. Lucien, on the other hand, reads everything, including a bunch of nonfiction. Rhys so doesn’t get it.

sings in the shower

Rhys. Loudly. Sappy love songs in which he inserts Lucien’s name. And then he makes up his own lyrics. He’s very bad at it. [you know who would be good at this??? tamlin??? oddly enough???]

takes the selfies

Rhys. Because despite Lucien’s obsession with photography, Rhys loves his own face, so…

plans date night

Rhys. He loves planning dates, especially expensive, ridiculous ones. Or, you know, trips to lingerie shops. He never tells Lucien about these ahead of time. (See the answer about surprising one’s partner.)

Azrien/Luzriel

falls asleep on the couch

Azriel. The poor guy has nightmares all the time, so he gets up and walks around, looks out the windows, lies down on the couch. Lucien wakes up to an empty bed and goes to find him. He snuggles into Azriel’s arms and Azriel holds him very, very tightly. So tightly it hurts. Lucien doesn’t mind.

makes friends with the neighbors

Honestly… neither of them. Lucien charms them and gets them a place in the local Homeowner’s Association or whatever, but they aren’t friends. He and Az prefer to stay to themselves.

is the adventurous eater

Azriel. Well… that’s not really accurate. Az will eat anything. He doesn’t have a preference at all. And Lucien’s super picky. It’s a very odd combination that will occasionally result in them literally only having packaged junk food in the house for two straight weeks until Cassian turns up and fills their freezer with hamburger casserole because he says they look terrible. (They do. Cassian is considering moving into their spare room until they can get better at self-care.)

hogs the covers at night

Neither. They both just clutch each other under a million blankets, since they’re both always cold, even with Lucien’s powers. (Once he becomes happier on a regular basis, his glow helps.)

forgets to do the dishes

Lucien. He really does mean to, but he just forgets. Az rolls his eyes and washes them when Lucien isn’t there. It’s like magic.

tries to surprise their partner more often

Azriel. Since he’s unsurprisable. It’s all small stuff, like a pretty stone he saw on the banks of the Sidra, or a pastry that was in a window he thought Lucien would like, but it means the world to Lucien.

leaves dirty laundry on the floor

Lucien, the slob. Azriel is immaculately neat at all times. He doesn’t understand how Lucien isn’t. Lucien is working on teaching him his ways.

stays up til 2 AM reading

Lucien. Az may be up at all hours, but it’s not to read. He just can’t sleep, but he can’t concentrate enough to read.

sings in the shower

Both of them. Duets when they shower together. It’s one of the only times Lucien hears Az giggle, and it makes him so ridiculously happy that he wants to dedicate the rest of his life to making Az that happy.

takes the selfies

Lucien. Az hates getting his picture taken. Lucien is always having to tug him back into the frame.

plans date night

Neither. All their date nights are completely spontaneous. They usually involve sitting together and talking quietly and listening to music and lots of kissing.

[okay that was Sad so let’s do the Fun Happy Fluffy Lucien Ship now shall we]

Tarcien

falls asleep on the couch

Lucien. Everywhere. Tarquin’s courtiers are constantly tripping over their High Lord’s sleepy boyfriend. I think I mentioned in a previous Tarcien post that Lucien finds the Summer Court sun soporific for quite some time. I stand by that headcanon. Tarquin never ever lets anyone wake him up.

makes friends with the neighbors

Tarquin. No one can help liking Tarquin, and Tarquin likes nearly everybody. Lucien does not understand this, as he’s one of those people who has His People and then Everyone Else.

is the adventurous eater

Tarquin. He’ll try anything and likes almost all of it. He keeps trying to get Lucien to try sushi. Lucien keeps refusing. “That fish was alive five minutes ago, Tarquin, you didn’t even cook it, and now you want me to eat it???”

hogs the covers at night

Neither. It’s hot in the Summer Court, and Tarquin practically radiates heat. Lucien likes this a lot.

forgets to do the dishes

Tarquin. He’ll start, and then abandon them halfway through. His servants always sigh and finish them. They know he’s trying.

tries to surprise their partner more often

Lucien. Especially on days when Tarquin’s very busy, Lucien will do something very romantic for them, or get all his meetings cancelled the next day so they can go sailing, or pounce on him with surprise kisses. (They’re Tarquin’s favorte kind.)

leaves dirty laundry on the floor

Lucien. Tarquin folds his neatly and leaves it on a chair. He’s trying to teach Lucien to do the same. He is not succeeding.

stays up til 2 AM reading

Tarquin. “Lucien, did you know that dolphins only sleep with half of their brain at once?” “Go the fuck to sleep, Tarquin.”

sings in the shower

Tarquin. He has an amazing voice, and isn’t afraid to belt out songs at the top of his lungs. Plus, he really likes showers. Anything with water is his favorite. Sometimes if he takes too long, Lucien will heat his water until he has to get out.

takes the selfies

Lucien. But Tarquin’s the one who gets them framed and hung around the palace, much to the dismay of Varian and Cresseida. Tarquin is just so proud of his boyfriend and loves him so much and WANTS EVERYONE TO KNOW THAT. “Tarquin. Everyone does. Literally. Everyone. Lucien’s been kidnapped five times now by separate people because everyone knows it.” Tarquin, frantically pinning more pictures of Lucien to the wall:  “I DON’T CARE THERE AREN’T ENOUGH PICTURES OKAY”

plans date night

Tarquin, since he’s the one who knows his way around the Summer Court. He shows Lucien all his favorite places, takes him out sailing, teaches him to dive for pearls, is super impressed when Lucien catches a fish in his bare hands… They’re just very happy and fluffy and it’s Good and what both of them deserve.

[serpenttailedangel]

After spending some time angsting over whether I would rather see Elain with Lucien or Azriel based purely on the consideration of whether Lucien would ultimately be happier with or without her, I’ve decided that Elain’s not that great of a character anywhere and Lucien and Azriel would be a more interesting coupling.

[bi-lucien]

Lucien Vanserra is bisexual pass it on

[ramim]

A healthy hobby of mine?

I go find Azris's fanarat in Azriel's tag and pretend to myself that they are Luzriel.
