6. Why do you think SJM connected both Gwyn and Azriel to music?

I already answered this but I love yapping so I'm gonna talk more LMAO

I think that there was no reason for SJM to draw such close connections for music and singing between Gwyn and Azriel if not to show that they have a journey to go on together. Like come on, we already kind of had a hunch that Azriel would be into music and singing because hello, Shadowsinger, but Gwyn absolutely did not have to be given that exact same parallel (and many others) to him, if not to tie them together. We can thank Gwyn for confirming that Azriel does in fact sing, and with SJM saying that we will see Azriel sing in the books, I am very excited to maybe read that scene between them too!

10. Do you have a favourite Gwynriel fic or fanart that was inspired by a song?

Oof I have far too many! But one of my favourites is this piece which was inspired by Chemtrails over the Country Club by Lana Del Ray. It was drawn by @:art.bymikki and commissioned by @trashforazriel!

She stopped mid-slice, whirling to face him. “I'm sorry. I knew you all were going to the river house, so I didn't think anyone would mind if I came up here, and-”

"It's fine. I came to retrieve something I forgot." The lie was smooth and cool, as he knew his face was. His shadows peered over his wings at her.

“Happy Solstice,” she said, as much a dismissal as it was a holiday blessing.

He snorted. “Are you kicking me out?”

Gwyn's teal eyes flashed with alarm. “No! I mean, I don't mind sharing the ring. I just ... I know you like to be alone.”

Her mouth quirked to the side, crinkling the freckles on her nose. “Is that why you came up here?”

Sort of. “I forgot something," he reminded her.

“At two in the morning?”

Pure amusement glittered in her stare. Better than the pain and grief he'd spied a moment before. So he offered her a crooked smile. “I can't sleep without my favorite dagger.”

"A comfort to every growing child."

I love how she showed her sassiness once Azriel showed his. I have a feeling Gwyn clocked Azriel lying in the first scene (nothing gets past her) but she was willing to let it go until Azriel's cheeky side came out. From then on? Instant call out.

I cannot possibly end Mermay without a Gwynriel commission and I am so so thrilled to share this stunning artwork of them!

@mostwantedpotato404 was such a pleasure to work with and the designs and details for Gwyn and Azriel are spot on to what I envisioned for them!

I hope you all love the comm!

Chapter 9 of Nonsense (Gwynsand)

Read Chapter 9 of Nonsense on Ao3.

Gwyn goes to a dinner party. It’s not awkward at all. Especially not when Nesta brings up news that will surely thrill Rhysand.

[luciensdefenseattorney]

What was described as ‘a thing of secret lovely beauty’: that fuckass necklace that Gwyn now owns (and Elain gave back), and the image of Gwyn Azriel buried deep down within his chest.

What was never described as a thing of secret lovely beauty: Elain Archeron.

My conclusion: a thing of secret lovely beauty was never directed at Elain, therefore is not about Elain🤣

I had this vision of Azriel breaking through his habit of idealization represented through a painting. The painting symbolizing his history of limerence and rendering women as untouchable ideals.

On the other end of this painting is Gwyn. She is the muse that finally reached back. She isn’t just paint and canvas, or the ideals his scarred hands shouldn’t taint. She faces all of him, and in doing so, breaks that barrier of idealism when he least expects it.

She meets him with fingers outstretched toward his shadowed and scarred hand. His shadows are present and curious, greeted with a smile.

I read a quote in a book the other day that perfectly described finding beauty in the unexpected: 𝘗𝘦𝘳𝘩𝘢𝘱𝘴 𝘢 𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘥𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘳𝘶𝘦 𝘣𝘦𝘢𝘶𝘵𝘺 𝘪𝘴 𝘴𝘶𝘳𝘱𝘳𝘪𝘴𝘦, 𝘩𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘬𝘴: 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭 𝘣𝘦𝘢𝘶𝘵𝘺 𝘮𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘴𝘦𝘦𝘮 𝘢𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩 𝘪𝘵 𝘩𝘢𝘴 𝘧𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘯 𝘢𝘣𝘳𝘶𝘱𝘵𝘭𝘺 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘬𝘺.. 𝘰𝘳 𝘦𝘭𝘴𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘥𝘦𝘦𝘱 𝘪𝘯𝘴𝘪𝘥𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘩-𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘤𝘦 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘪𝘵 𝘩𝘢𝘥 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘴𝘦𝘤𝘳𝘦𝘵𝘭𝘺 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘶𝘯𝘴𝘦𝘦𝘯, 𝘶𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘭 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘤𝘢𝘮𝘦 𝘢𝘭𝘰𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘴𝘢𝘸 𝘪𝘵.

It reminded me so much of the last line in Azriel’s bonus chapter where he describes the image of Gwyn as a thing of secret, lovely beauty. We can find beauty anywhere, but it is those moments that interrupt expectation and arrive unannounced that linger deep in the chest.

Happy Gwynriel MerMay! 🧜‍♀️💖

What started out as a simple bathroom scene that quickly turned into "let's make this MerMay" to us becoming bathroom designers, thank you @cyrastory for bringing my vision to life! It was such a pleasure working on this with you

Read the fic here on AO3!

Summary: Azriel is a lighthouse keeper on the Velaris coast and after one brutal storm he spots something stranded along the cliffside. Turns out that that something is a someone -- a mermaid to be exact. He nurses her back to health in his tub and makes a connection he never saw coming.

[nejjdiart]

Finished once and for all !! :D don’t look much at the background, I’m not good at them.

So for Gwyn I chose a beta fish as inspiration, I think they capture that ethereal, nymph-like energy she has. While for Azriel I went for a mammals tail, in this case the Orca, they’re the warriors of the ocean, the toughest there is, so I thought it fit to have Illyrians attributed to this particular species (this is a world we’re Illyrians live in matriarchal communities because why not). You can play with this headcanon if you’d like :)

Gwynriel AU - Mermaid + Pirate 🧜‍♀️ 🏴‍☠️

This commission blends three of my obsessions together: Gwynriel, Mermaids and Pirates, and The Little Mermaid 💖

Doesn't Gwyn look gorgeous as a mermaid, and Azriel look dashing as a pirate? @luciaarandart really outdone herself with this STUNNING masterpiece 😍

Now, you may be wondering.. how does The Little Mermaid fit?

Well, I love the moment when Ariel gains back her voice from it being trapped in a shell, and Prince Eric is broken from the spell. Ariel then ends up turning into a mermaid and saving Eric, and vice versa. I have a headcanon for Gwynriel that, like Ariel, Gwyn's voice + her nymph side might end up being the key to saving Azriel somehow.

Emerie as The Chariot 🪽

For @emerieweekofficial day 4: Strength

The Chariot is about defying limitations. Throughout ACOSF, we watch Emerie overcome emotional (childhood trauma, societal expectations) and physical (scarred wings) obstacles through sheer determination, focus and willpower. Her Carynthian title is proof of victory through hard work.

While Strength is another Major Arcana, @lovelymoonflower1, Missiemei, and I felt the Chariot uniquely fit Emerie.

Thank you Kloartz for bringing this idea to life!
