Happy Gwynriel Weeks!! I wasn’t sure what to do for this prompt, and then I realized there was only one thing it could be dedicated to: Gwyn’s beautiful face. After all, it is the image that glowed in his chest — 𝒜 𝓉𝒽𝒾𝓃𝑔 𝑜𝒻 𝓈𝑒𝒸𝓇𝑒𝓉, 𝓁𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁𝓎 𝒷𝑒𝒶𝓊𝓉𝓎.

You do realize that just because Lucien archetype is the fox doesn’t automatically mean that he’s going to deceive the IC. Foxes also represent Adaptability, cleverness, and wisdom. He’s also an heir to a powerful High Lord that’s hiding in plain sight. His archetype could be a representation of that too. We haven’t had Lucien’s POV except one snippet in ACOWAR. For all we know he already knows he’s not Beron’s son or at least is keeping his Day Court powers at bay because he’s probably been told to. There’s a lot of ways Lucien can be the Fox archetype without him becoming a villain. Foxes in literary fiction represent more than one thing. And I think that’s the case for this story since even Rhys states that Lucien isn’t evil he’s just willing to do what it takes to keep people he cares about protected (a trait him and Rhys share BTW.) and that doesn’t automatically make someone a villain. Morally ambiguous perhaps. But a straight up villain I don’t think so.

Book 1 Rhys was pure MESS

[starsreminisce]

One bed, but Lucien and Elain respectfully have a wall of pillows between them.

The fire is slowly dying and Elain is shivering from the cold. She wakes Lucien up to tend the fire.

He stares at her, bleary-eyed, as she begins with “I’m cold” before he moves all the pillows, just pulls her in and wraps his arms around her.

She’s stupefied as he adjusts to fit her better. Elain couldn’t argue. She’s warm, pleasantly so, even without the fire. She looks up at Lucien to see a small smile on his lips before his warmth lulls her back to sleep.

me going into a main character tag and seeing nothing but ship war and pro/anti discourse:

[arteei]

you use ai baby pictures i use stupid gifs that don’t fit the situation we are not the same

[hayaii]

As they warm up to each other, Elain is going to talk to Lucien about Jesminda and hearing him speak about her with so much pain and tenderness will make Elain feel such profound grief on his behalf but there will also be tiny part of her that feels hurt too and she will think “oh that’s strange, why does it pain me to hear about his lost love? … oh… oh”

Vassa 100% calls Jurian daddy

Vassa who loves papa archeron like a father and says he treated her better than her own? Daddy issues.

A much older man that she spends all her time with, all alone in that manor now that Lucien is stationed in spring? Jurian is her daddy now.

sometimes I’m reminded that there are still people who don’t know ao3 was literally created by incest shippers — and the site’s sole purpose is to 1. be completely against censorship and 2. host all kinds of dark, taboo fics that are banned on other platforms — and the first ever fic that was posted on ao3 was a fic about an incest ship from supernatural.

you are in the house that was created by freaks. for freaks (affectionate). every disgusting thing you can think of is rightfully allowed and welcomed on ao3, because they are exactly the reasons why ao3 was created in the first place.

ao3 was created because its creators got tired of censorship, they got tired of dark and taboo fics getting banned on pro-censorship platforms, and they wanted a place that was safe for ALL FICS THAT WERE DARK AND TABOO.

ao3’s main principle is being against censorship and being proship / profic.

there are some things in fiction that make me uncomfortable, but instead of shaming people who are just minding their own business and not harming anyone in real life, I choose to curate my own internet experience by blocking/muting what I don’t want to see. ao3 has excellent tagging system, so instead of being rude, instead of asking why the world doesn’t revolve around your personal comfort, use their tagging system properly and you won’t see the things you don’t want to see.

it’s your job to curate what you see. it’s not other people’s jobs or responsibilities to censor themselves for your personal comfort. the world does not revolve around you.

also you cannot censor “only the things you personally hate” without expecting everything else, that isn’t of conservative beliefs, to be censored too. because censorship is a slippery slope and a fascist tool. I promise you there are people who think “why do tags for queer love even exist on ao3? they’re grooming children”.

if you allow the things that you hate to be censored — because someone with enough power gets to control what other people can and cannot create/consume, it will not stop at the things that you hate.

Hey, if you’re anti racist and claim to be an ally, then you should be educated enough to know why that “art” was harmful. It’s 2026, there’s plenty of resources for you to learn the history behind it.

And if you’re called out for being racist, it’s your job to listen to those who aren’t white and were harmed by your actions. It’s not our job to coddle you and make the message palatable or more comfortable for you.

I’ve seen some things in other fandoms but this was the most overtly racist and vile thing I’ve ever seen in a fandom. It’s not comparable to anything else that’s happened in the ACOTAR fandom and if you think so, please go back to my first point.

Elain Archeron is not a real person, she can’t get hurt by things people say about her. But those of us in this fandom that are POC are real and real harm was done by that “art.”

[pinkfuneral7]

Hey to follow up on this, I’m not talking about violent rhetoric about Elain because that’s not been mentioned in the “whataboutism” provided by people trying to downplay and excuse the artwork that was drawn yesterday. They simply do not have any examples of anything that’s comparable so let’s not insinuate that those of us speaking out are excusing violence in any form.

Let me make this clear again, the artist and poster depicted a hate crime in a graphic way and I haven’t seen anything else from this fandom (or any other fandom for that matter) that even compares to it.

Also if you are not a POC, please don’t tone police those of us who are. Again, it’s not our job to make our message palatable for you. If you’re uncomfortable, please sit in it. If you’re unsure about the extent and seriousness of this matter, please read up on the history of l*nching (censoring in case if Tumblr takes this down). Please read up on Emmitt Till. Please read up on how it still happens today. Educate yourself and listen.

i feel like a lot of fandoms pride themselves on being gayer than the source material but have they considered being less racist and less misogynistic than the source material as well . could be revolutionary

[starbender25]

AND god FORBID that instead of rooting for that same cliche hyper sexual pure soft kind girl x brooding demon dark emo man type ship i instead root for the pure soft kind woman with a pure soft kind man!

I'm sick of that wattpad dark romance trope

LET THE KIND GIRLS GET THE KIND MAN

Yes this is about Elain and Lucien.
