“The great joy and honor of my life has been to know you. To call you my family. And I am grateful—more than I can possibly say—that I was given this time with you all.” ->a court of wings and ruin, ch. 69

New Challenge:

Eluciens theorize an Elain book without making it a Lucien book where she’s his sidekick.

Difficulty level: Impossible

looks like he did turn out to be the knife in the dark after all (in a way)

[vvitchqueenofharrenhall]

[hits blunt] yeah man it’s like Feyre’s the court, Nesta’s the thorns, and Elain’s the roses y’ know

[lovelyshadowblossom]

notice how before this it was always “can’t wait for Elain to get out of the night court” “anti inner circle!” “Can’t wait for Elain to became apart of the BoE” “Azriel and the Valkyries-“

and now it’s “oh actually so and so is apart of the inner circle too!” Oh but I thought yall didn’t like the inner circle? I thought yall didn’t like the night court…

Right? It's funny how quickly the ELs have changed their minds—now they want Lulu to be part of the IC. And yet for years we had to listen to them say that Elain was leaving the NC, becoming besties with the BoE, and that the IC wasn't good for her.

It's amazing what one (!) post from BB can do. Isn‘t it?

”I wouldn’t call Lucien not in the IC”

You know who would call Lucien not in the IC?

Rhysand. Feyre. Mor. Amren. Cassian. Azriel. Nesta. Elain. You know, the actual Inner Circle.

Just because he was Feyre’s sidekick for half a book, it doesn’t make him part of the familial, inner private body of the Night Court. “Oooooh but he’s an emissary!!1” Again. No. That’s like saying a diplomat to another country is part of the royal family.

He’s not part of the 8-pointed star that is the Inner Circle, and that’s that on that.

Sarah: elain is part of inner circle

Antis: no

Sarah: lucien is responsible for Elain's trauma

Antis: he is not

Sarah: Elain is kind and she will have a book

Antis: she is evil and we dont see her as fmc material

Sarah: I dont wanna fit into a box

Antis: you are a fated mates author. Done

Sarah: bryce and hunt are mates

Antis: bryce and azriel got it

Sarah: nessian is endgame

Antis: cassian hates nesta

Sarah: tamlin is abusive

Antis: wel...feyre...rhys they are evil. Poor tamtam.

Sarah: rhys is my love forever

Antis: rhys is evil got it.

Sarah: mating bonds could be wrong

Antis: mate bond means endgame got it.

[greenleaf777]

“Why hasnt Elain rejected the bond with Lucien yet?”

Besides the fact that it will obviously not “officially” happen until Elain’s pov, Elain has been rejecting Lucien. Multiple times and consistently.

We don’t even know if the rejected bond is an actual ceremonial official or physical thing that has to happen or its what she has already been doing. We don’t know if Elain even know she can reject a bond or about the blood duel.

Every single time Elain and Lucien are on the page together she is rejecting him as her mate. When she ignores him, when she shrinks away, when she walks away, when she literally says out loud that she doesn’t want a bond and question if he is entitled to her time and affection, when she pursues Azriel, when she is pushed by Feyre to invite him because she wouldn’t have done that herself, when she doesn’t use his gifts, etc etc.

Someone else pointed out as to why she hasnt in the book she may feel stuck like shes told this bond is some great thing she should be grateful for and will inevitably accept.

Peoples intentions are not always spoken out loud. Inflection, body language and expressions are probably the most important language there is. Thats why SJM describes Elain’s reactions to Lucien so thoroughly and why she shows such a juxtaposition with Elain’s interactions with Azriel. Just compare Elriel and Elucien in acofas alone. Back to back interactions that are completely different. Elain leaves the room to hide when lucien is around but stays up late just to talk to az a few chapters later.

Funny how it's "Elain should leave the Night Court and be friends with the Band of Exiles" until we get "back with the Inner Circle" from the publisher and it suddenly becomes "IF YOU DROP THE 3 AND CARRY THE 1 LUCIEN IS PART OF THE INNER CIRCLE TOO!!!" Goalposts: moving at the speed of light

[lovelyshadowblossom]

Quoting Sara really goes to show it’s not that serious and implying the Inner Circle as some closed off group that only pertains to those certain characters is clearly not what it’s made out to be as it can include whoever the heck she wants if that means including Lucien and Gwyn if Sara so desired then that’s who we’ll see. Yet again no confirmation

We didn‘t quote Sara, we quoted Sarah J. Maas.

And she doesn‘t include Gwyn and Lucien to the inner circle. And she won‘t do it in the future either. One is one of Nesta‘s friends, and the other is a „friend“ of Feyre and mated to Elain for the bond rejection.

But I see, this IC gate triggers you sooooooo much!

[acourtofquietdreamers]

It’s so funny seeing the Azriel obsessed ignore such important Azriel scenes.

- Someone calling Azriel’s scars beautiful

- Azriel figuring out someone is a seer by being kind and attentive

- Azriel going feral to rescue someone, even if he could die

- Azriel letting someone use his blade for the first time ever

- Someone noticing Azriel enough to know he’s been suffering from headaches and giving him a solution for those headaches

All because that someone is an Archeron sister they hate and they can’t stand how obsessed Azriel is with her.

ACOTAR 6 will not be kind to them because that someone will be haunting Azriel’s every thought.

[floralegia]

Nothing forges stronger bonds than hating the same bullshit fanon thing

[vvitchqueenofharrenhall]

Gwyn literally cheated her way to victory and still did horribly along the way

She also blabbed to Merrill after Nesta asked her not to. Maybe the antis are onto something with Gwyn being a spy. She’s sure acting like one.

For Koschei

Let’s hope Azriel remembers Elain’s gift of earplugs 🤞
