I dont know who needs to hear this…actually I do. Its Gwynriels,

You cannot claim Gwyn as having a straight sexuality completely. She hs shown no romantic interest in any men aside from the one instance of her blushing around Rhys and that too it was more out of his position then anything else.

Just because YOU have deluded yourself to thinking Gwyn is straight and crushing on Azriel does not make it true nor compliant with Canon. She has every equal chance of being straight, bi, lesbian etc. YOU cannnot dictate her sexuality or shame others for not shipping a straight couple aka shipping Gwyn with someone she has canonically shown 0 romantic interest in.

The valkryies are not blood sisters. Their bond and friendship is like that of sisters - equates to the batboys seeing each other as brothers yet despite this we know they’ve had their fair share of fun times. Sjm uses family relationships to show how deep a bond is between characters.

Gwyn and Emerie is just as valid as Gwynriel. It has every chance of happening as Gwynriel does. To not ship Gwyn x Emerie isn’t homophobic but the way gwynriels look at this ship, mock it or even get offended that Gwyn is being shipped with another character that isnt Az - who reminds her of savangh btw - is questionable to say the least. Commenting “sisters” on a clear WlW fanart,

is harmful and disgusting behavior you cannot justify and the finger does in fact point to Gwynriels because they’re everywhere hating on this ship which again…raises a few eyebrows.

also fyi, this was the fanart: Comm by the lovely Cateyesreads on Instagram and Art by Zolyna_

Its no wonder elriel is lost on them. Gwynriels cant see something that’s clearly romantic even if its in their face and in the most simplest form. Whats worse is commenter 1 *cough* played dumb and acted innocent in her apology and commenter 2 didnt have the shame to even apologise. Before lecturing others, dear Gwynriels, sort out the mess that is your own side first. Call out those in your own circles for being homophobic before preaching to others about finger pointing and name calling.

“It feels incestous to ship Emerie and Gwyn!” Just say you’re the type of person to make things weird and go. They’re not blood related and if you feel that way, maybe Sjm isnt the author for you. Its the same people that hate the idea of 3 (unrelated) brothers and 3 sister. Grow tf up. Broaden your tastes. Expand your knowledge on how fantasy and tropes work.

“Oh but I’m shipping Emerie with Mor an actual Lgbtq+ character!” Sit tf back down and check what you’re saying. Because again - GWYN has EVERY EQUAL chance of having a different sexuality then the one you THINK she has. Calling Gwyn straight is not canon, its not backed by canon and Its not in canon. If you believe the default setting for every character whose sexuality is never confirmed to be…“straight”…yikes, some self reflection is definitely needed.

“You cant call Gwynriels homophobic” yes, we can. Act homophobic, you will get called out rightfully so about it. You wouldn’t be offended if it didnt apply to you, lets be real here. Also, Im a firm believer in your mutuals and friends are a reflection of yourself too so…take that how you want.

[acourtofthought]

To add to the discussion about SJM being protective of her friends and mindful of their feelings: Emerie and Gwyn are also inspired by Sarah’s real-life friends. She actually confirmed this again on a podcast when talking about friendship. It’s hard to imagine her creating characters based on her own friendships just to turn them evil or use them as a temporary plot device for a ship that didn’t need one.

It’s also not exactly a secret who follows Gwyn Week or openly supports Gwyn-related content. Some people choose to ignore that because it raises uncomfortable questions. Why does SJM’s circle interact with Gwynriel content the way they do, while you don’t really see the same with Elriel, even now?

Does that 100% confirm anything? Of course not. But to me, it still says a lot about which characters and dynamics her own circle seems to support, even if that support is subtle and which they do not.

While we can never say with certainty that something is confirmed I think it's safe to say that if Sarah's closest friends do not support a certain ship there's a reason for that. I also think the other side needs to have a serious discussion with themselves when they continue creating posts like "Gwynriel is dead in the water" or "Gwyn was in the bonus because she's evil and luring Az!" If you had a best friend and you based a character on that best friend / your friendship with the, do you think you'd turn around and make that character the evil whore trying to keep two lovers apart? It's an obvious answer and one I think they're too scared to take a closer look at.

You had been looking forward to this day all week. After a long 5 days of working, working, and more working, you and your friends were well overdue for a night out on the town. A monthly (at least) tradition you’ve upheld since university, you looked forward to the long night of drinking, dancing, and forgetting all about your responsibilities. 

Standing in your mirror, you looked your outfit over once more, mentally checking with yourself that you looked good, and would still be comfortable through the night. The doorbell to your flat is what breaks you out of your thoughts and you find your heart begins to beat a bit faster. You hurry over to the door and pull it open to find your beautiful girlfriend standing there with a mischievous grin on her face. Her amber hair in waves cascading over her shoulders and her bright green eyes piercing your heart as they had the day you met her.

Lily pushes forward and cups your face gently, planting a chaste kiss to your lips then dragging you back into the apartment with linked arms.

“I brought tequila if that's alright- I figured we could have a drink before everyone else gets here?” You stop in the kitchen and smile.

“Yeah that sounds great,” you feel breathless. Despite being in your relationship for well over 3 years at this point, every time you saw Lily felt like the first time. You pull the girl into a hug, sighing into her hair, inhaling the vanilla and woody scent.

Lily wraps her arms around you and pulls you impossibly closer, moving one of her hands up and down your back. “Alright, love?” You just hum in response the pull away slightly after a moment.

“Sorry, just missed you this week ‘s all” You mumble to her. It was just the two of you in the world at this moment. No worries about deadlines, or assignments, no drama, just you and your great love.

Lily brushes some hair from your face, smiles softly, and kisses the tip of your nose once. “Well I’m here now, and tonight is going to be so fun.” Lily steps away from you and begins to pull ingredients from your fridge and cabinets.

You pull a few glasses from another cupboard, charmingly mismatched. Lily begins to mix together 2 drinks and soon you move to the couch, tucking your legs under you as Lily stretches her legs across your lap.

“So who’s all coming tonight?”

“I think the usual crowd. James, Sirius, Peter, Remus-”

“Really?”

“Yeah I think Sirius convinced him earlier today or something. Pandora can’t make it- something about an exam. But Marlene, Dorcas, Mary, Barty, Evan-”

“Of course, never one without the other.”

“Right? And I think Regulus? Either way we’re sure to be crowding up the pubs all night long.”

You laugh, sipping on your drink and running a hand up and down Lily’s thigh. Not sensually, just- comfortably. Blame it on the alcohol, or blame it on the look in Lily’s eyes, but your chest felt warm and your head just fuzzy enough to release some of your inhibitions.

Your phone buzzes next to you and you open the group chat your friends had made for tonight.

“James and them are on their way up.” With that you down the rest of your drink and move Lily’s legs off of you and stand to bring out the glasses and the rest of the alcohol you had stowed away. You set everything on your coffee table and prop your front door open a bit to invite everyone in.

Soon you find your apartment filled with people drinking and dancing along to the playlist Sirius had made for the pregame. You stood on one side of the room, half listening to Barty and Regulus argue about something completely trivial. Most of your focus, however, was on the other side of the room where Lily was swaying to the music with Dorcas and Marlene. The warm ambient lights of your apartment caught her hair and freckled skin perfectly- it seemed she was almost glowing. 

The fuzziness of your head was a bit more severe now, teetering on tipsy.

“Alright lads and ladies, the hour is upon us!” Sirius moves to the center of the room, standing in front of the coffee table. The rest of your group shifts their attention, the music’s volume lowering (no doubt thanks to Remus). 

“One shot for the road?” Sirius gestures to 12 shot glasses filled with some kind of clear liquid. Everyone takes one and enthusiastically lifts it in the air. Lily appears by your side.

“To a night of complete drunken debauchery!”

‘Here Here’ resounded through the room. You and Lily turn to one another, making eye contact and tipping the shots down your throats.

With that the group begins to throw on their jackets and shoes, checking themselves in the mirror by your door once more before you find yourselves wandering a bar and club lined street. You could imagine that your group looked like a bartender’s nightmare; 12 loud, drunk, but lovely people in their 20s searching for which bar would be their first victim.

You and Lily walk hand in hand down the street until Barty and Evan finally declare that they’ve found a bar they wanted to stop in. The group pours into the dimly lit building, some going to find a table, others heading right to the bar. A song you can’t quite place plays overhead, mixed with people talking over one another, laughing and drinking. A small dance floor deeper into the bar hosts a handful of people, a DJ sitting behind a glass box with large headphones on. 

You and Lily opt for the bar. Lily leans against it, resting her forearms on the edge of it. You rest a hand on the small of her back and wait for a bartender to come over. Down the bar, you make eye contact with a vaguely familiar face. A man with inky black hair and a sour look on his face. As you meet his eye, his nose scrunches and his frown deepens even more. You turn back to the bar, a bartender finally coming over. Lily orders a drink for both her and yourself, paying before you can say anything. You shake off the encounter with the man down the bar and take the drink that’s placed in front of you. Lily takes your hand once more and you both head to the tables claimed by your friends.

Everyone spends the next hour drinking, chatting, laughing, singing along to whatever song was playing. You’ve fully forgotten about the man from the bar and have one hand on your girlfriend’s thigh, the other holding your drink. Lily leans on your shoulder, speaking just loud enough for you to hear. You smile and she tilts her head up, placing a soft kiss on the side of your throat. You swallow thickly.

The moment ends with a shriek. One coming from Marlene a few seats away from you as an all-too familiar tune begins to play through the speakers. Lily’s head shoots up and she turns to you with a wicked grin. The next thing you know you’re on the dancefloor with your friends, swaying to the music and singing along to the words.

Lily takes your hand and spins you around, then herself, backing herself into your front. Your hands move to her hips, and her head leans back onto your chest. You press a kiss to the side of her head. When Lily goes to spin back out, she stumbles and falls into another person passing by. 

The redhead regains her balance and turns to apologize to whoever it was. You find it to be the same man from before, the same disgusted look stamped on his face. Now that you’re closer, staying by Lily’s side, you find that his hair is greasy and is sticking to the side of his face. His pointed nose seemingly stuck in the air. 

“Watch it you fucking slags.” His words are slurred and Lily’s once apologetic look quickly turns into one of offense.

“I beg your finest fucking pardon?” The man just rolls his eyes and looks the two of you up and down, his disgust deepening even more- if that was possible.

“You heard me- fucking whores and queers- the lot of you. Y’gonna end up in hell as you should.” The man was practically shouting now, gathering the attention of a few other people around.

“Hey man-” someone starts, a stranger, but the man pushes them away, getting into your face. You finally realize where you know the man from- Severus, you recalled. You shared one or two classes with him in university before he went off to do his own research at a more private school

You step forward, “Severus, yeah? Why don’t you just go on and mind your own business?” You go to shoo him off but he grabs your arm.

“Hey-”

“You don’t belong here- y’belong in hell with all the other fa-”

He doesn’t finish that sentence. James and Remus had appeared behind him and grab him under the arms. Severus shakes and tries to break free but the two men just drag him out the door.

James and Remus don’t come back in immediately, but you turn to Lily whose eyes are blown wide. You take the sides of her face gently.

“Hey-hey Lils, are you alright?”

Lily nods quietly. 

“He’s an asshole, don’t listen to anything he has to say.” You lead her off the dance floor and to the tables again.

“What happened over there?” Mary asks, twirling her straw in the melted ice at the bottom of her glass.

“Some fucker decided tonight was the night to tell Lily and I we’re going to hell.”

Barty and Evan turn, Barty’s eyes wild and a quiet coldness present in the way Evan’s jaw ticks. James and Remus walk back into the bar, stopping to talk to the bartender- likely telling them about the ass clown they had just escorted out of the building.“Little does he know, I would gladly go to hell for Lily.” You turn to your girlfriend and take hold of her hand under the table. She leans her head on your shoulder once more.

Eventually you and Lily signal to each other that it’s time to go and split off from the group to head back to your flat, opting for your night of ‘complete drunkenness and debauchery’ to come to an end in favor of sweets, tea, and a movie.

Settled in your bed, your laptop lit with whatever movie you threw on, and your head resting on Lily’s chest, you look up to the redhead.

Now barefaced, and her hair tied up, you can see the freckles spread across her cheeks, her lips still stained slightly with lipstick. You grinned, lovesick.

“What are you looking at?” Lily tries to laugh your adoration off, her cheeks growing warm and tinged with pink.

“Just, you.” You grin softly, then grow serious. 

“You know what I said earlier, I was serious right?” You sit up.

Lily just blinks, you continue. 

“I would happily go to hell for you. Over and over again. As long as I’m with you.” Lily doesn’t say anything, she just leans forward and presses a kiss to your mouth, your lips moving softly against one another.

She pulls away first.

“And I would do the same.”

a/n: a bit of fluff for y'all :)) since i have a lotttt of angst in my drafts. but i hope you guys enjoyed this ! i really enjoyed writing it- lily is literally my wife idc idc.

why are anti's saying elriels are using emerie to bash gwyn?? the hell?

critiquing the fandoms’ treatment of Emerie ≠ bashing Gwyn. Whoever is saying this must feel attacked bcs no one is hating on Gwyn. She was a lovely character, who deserves love and appreciation but this gwynification of the fandom due to Gwynriel/s has taken many characters out of the spotlight including Emerie. If they don’t want to admit to that - it’s nothing new. Gwynriels love staying in their little bubble. but outside of it - with unbiased eyes, anyone can see that Emerie is often overlooked and forgotten. Its always Gwyn that takes centre stage in most SF discussions due to her being straight and not Emerie.

Personally I think it speaks more about antis that are claiming elriels would use Emerie as a way to bash Gwyn. Anyone talking about this topic have regarded Gwyn either positively or neutrally, not w negatively. We are not criticising Gwyn, and if they can’t see that its on them.
