I just saw a Gw*nriel claim that SJM doesn’t do opposites..? Therefore Elriel is not happening?
Have they not read any of SJM’s books at all? 💀
As if Feysand wasn’t a partial retelling of hades and Persephone? As if other couples from CC or ToG aren’t opposites?
Regardless of opposites, Azriel and Elain indeed are on the same wavelength. They very much are similar to one another. They have a lot in common and lot that they can relate to together. Aesthetic or materialistic differences don’t directly equate to “they can’t be mates/together”.
The boy who is never chosen and girl who never gets to choose?
The boy and girl who have to find their voice together?
The boy and girl who are both more quiet and subtle types than anything or anyone in the IC?
The boy and girl who are both overlooked by everyone just because “Elain is Elain” or (in his brother’s minds) “Az is Az”?
The boy and girl who have both loved selflessly yet have been rejected by those loves?
The boy and girl who both have metaphorical restraints on each other because of someone else? (Rhys and Lucien)
They understand each other.
I really want people to stop looking at these multidimensional characters from only one perspective or from surface level and actually THINK.
Elain is stronger than some of you think. Strength doesn’t always have to be brute strength. Theres a reason why Feyre claimed Elain had a strength no one else did. And that strength just so happens to be something that Azriel admires, if I’m to glean anything from his character.
But anyway, what do I know? I’m just an average elriel lol. But per the author’s words…
I thought it was obvious.
