hey I love your blog and i don't want this to come off the wrong way but I think your latest post may be coming off wrong and as if you are making light of rape. And you may want to reconsider the wording of it.

Hi anon. It can happen, definitely, that it can get taken out of context, at the end of the day, English is not my first language, it can definitely happen. But I assume only someone in bad faith will.

It's very hypocritical to condemn Elain for having no sexual interest in Lucien, wanting her to be a brat so Lucien can tame her and make her engage in sexual dynamics that not only she has shown she dislikes but are framed as something to cringe at by Feyre. Not only hate Elain, but want her dead, shame her, for just using her free will in a way they don't appreciate.

And THEN, cry because Gwyn did not have that choice. Or be sad because she was taken against her will. Which is fucking legit, Gwyn's story is heartbreaking, it really is, not only by what happened with that Illyrian man, but also what happened to Catrin and the children in front of her.

We hate a woman for not having any sexual interest in a man, wishing her to be dead, or saying that she should bow to him, as a way to humiliate her. But then, when the choice and the freedom and autonomy is finally taken from a woman, that's when we draw the line? The hate wasn't enough?

I think it's sick, and I think it's rape culture. And they're fictional characters, if we take it to reality, of course it's worse.

My point is. Is empathy really that selective when it comes to Gwyn and Elain? Really? They shame and hate and send death wishes to a fictional woman for not wanting sex with a guy, but when another woman is finally raped, there's when they get mad?

It's not that I'm not taking rape seriously, it's that some of them, are only drawing the line once rape happens.

STILL- thank you sooo much for your comment. I really REALLY appreciate when people are so kind and willing to point things to me this way. I really hope I didn't make any mistakes with my English writing. And I hope everything is clearer now!

For the Elain Ask Game,

🍋 What would be Elain’s most frequented A03 Tag?

🍋 eventual smut

I've been thinking about this interesting parallel.

At one point, Nesta made a comment about Spring Court being made for Elain and that she's love it there.

And Elain's antis immediately latched on to that comment, in addition to the whole 'black dress' comment, as some indication of foreshadowing that Elain would not only leave the Night Court, but would end up with Tamlin! (nevermind that he's been inside her sister, and he is her mate's best friend, because what is logic? (btw, the same people claim that SJM is a fated mate author. But whatever)) So that's their favorite argument--but Nesta said! but Cassian said!

But, everyone conveniently forgets that there was another comment about another sister belonging in a different place.

Mor said that Nesta belongs in the Court of Nightmares.

And not because of some superficial reasons like liking flowers and gardens, but because of her personality.

Therefore, following the antis logic, Nesta then will end up in the Court of Nightmares? With Beron? (we don't know if Mor's mother is even alive) and since most of them want Cassian dead anyway, then why not?

She'd be a Queen, a ruler of a Court. Not only that, she's actually been in Hewn City, (unlike Elain, who's never been to Spring) and she dazzled them all with her dress and her dancing, and she met Kier, unlike Elain, who never met Tamlin outside of his beast form for 3 minutes.

I just think that it's interesting how one offhand comment has assigned Elain to Spring, into the clutches of an unbalanced male who is obsessed with her sister, but another comment is treated like 'how dare Mor want to send a trauma victim to a Court where she'd be traumatized again?'

Imagine what would happen if we let the sisters themselves decide where they wanted to live?

🌸🦇Elriel 💙🩷

And don't come at me with the bullshit of "he gave it to Gwyn and ended up thinking about her" , Az literally was going to give it to anyone, he didn't care who, he didn't want to see ELAIN's necklace... I mean, that man bought it thinking about HER! Thank you, Sarah, for confirming what we all already knew since ACOWAR :)

I bet Clotho and which woman gets the necklace can still smell elriels arousal on it 🤪🤪🤪🤪

[mortalfae7]

So you’re telling me Azriel went out, picked up gifts for everyone, then went into a jewelry store and bought Elain a rose necklace. But he didn’t give it to her, he didn’t even plan to until he saw her that night, until she gave him his gift. And after that, he finally had the courage to give her the necklace he had bought for her?

So you’re telling me he buys her things simply because this is what he wants to do?

Elain had always been gentle and sweet—and I had considered it a different sort of strength. A better strength. To look at the hardness of the world and choose, over and over, to love, to be kind. She had been always so full of light.

Repeat after me:

Elain won’t get the Harp

Elain won’t wield Gwydion

Elain won’t explore the Prison

Elain won’t be High Lady of Dusk

Elain won’t train to become a valkyrie

Elain deserves better than her sister’s reheated nachos

Nesta deserves better than her story getting stolen from her
