Elain and Lucien are the Elizabeth Bennet & Mr Collins of Acotar.

Now before ppl freak I am in no way saying Lucien himself is anything like Mr Collins… bc he’s not…I’m referring to their dynamic. They have no chemistry whatsoever and every interaction is so forced and Elain literally shrinks in on herself around him.

I said what I said.

I wrote a long response for this, but it might be better suited for it's own post, as it touches other subjects.

But to add to this example, another Jane Austen's pair that mirror this dynamic is Miss Frederica Vernon and Sir James Martin from Lady Susan.

Frederica doesn't want anything with Sir James, but her mother, Lady Susan has decided that she should marry him, as he is a very good prospect, even when her daughter feels uncomfortable around him. And I'm not saying he is like Lucien, because our fox does have a working brain, something that Sir James lacks (Watch Love & Friendship).

But the relationship between Frederica and her mother Lady Susan, might be what the relationship between Elain and her mother would have been like.

Oh my sweetest Frederica, you're so Elain coded...

Bitching and Moaning, but with AI now.

Deflecting isn't accountability

Hope it Helps

Enough to light up a city

You guys lost when you said you wanted to keep it private

[yandereplumblossom]

They cared more about saving face than protecting the victims.

Apologizing was easier than all this bitching and moaning.

Hope it helps.

muni was such a kind and loving soul, and no words can convey the light she brought into the lives of everyone she knew, even if she had only known them for a short time.

tbh i don’t really have words. this is shocking and devastating and i’m praying for her family in all of this.

if you have the means to donate to help those suffering in the aftermath of the venezuela earthquakes, here are some links. i may update if i find more.

hold each other tighter today 💜

Just found out that the great artist Muni_Luny has passed away after the Earthquakes in Venezuela :(((

May she rest in peace!

For the final day of Nuala and Cerridewean week, here’s a small theory.

In ACOWAR, it seemed as though Elain had been trapped within her own mind,

Elain blinked and blinked, eyes clearing again. As if the understanding, our understanding … it freed her from whatever murky realm she’d been in.

Then, whilst she was sharing her vision about Vassa, Rhys asked if she knew about the other queens and their dealing with the “sourcer” to which Elain replies, that no. Thats all mist and shadow.

It seems like Elain can either access her visions by mentally entering this shadowy realm, some things aren’t clear to her (murky) whilst somethings are half-hidden, covered in shadows.

Wraiths are nothing but shadow and mist - who better to help Elain navigate this realm then the two beings made from the shadows who are able to enter anywhere?

I fully believe Nuala and Cerr will help Elain with her visions and exploring this murky realm she finds herself in, maybe this is why Elains been drawn to the twins, she feels connected to them in the way she is now connected to that realm, whatever it is.

I am so excited to learn more about Elains powers and how this trio naviagtes them.

Hi, artist here that didn’t feel “protected” or “respected” by the fandom when I posted art for her very first event! Artist here who had her art mocked and belittled because it was “Nesta’s sword” and KTBOOKISHCLUB AND HER FRIENDS were involved in that.

Because that’s how I knew to BLOCK HER (and her friends!) before she started posting commissions because she was giggling with everyone how stupid elriel art/artists are. I wasn’t her friend but I saw it with my own eyes countless times.

I think if you spend any time around her you’d know how she felt. She was bold enough to tell an elriel commissioner elriel art sucks and her ideas would be better and fresh. TO AN ELRIEL COMMISSIONER IN HER DMS when she played at making friends with everyone.

Like we had no idea? Like we hadn’t seen how she behaved for months on TikTok? Like people don’t talk to each other??? So when she got smacked with the evidence for Elain week (WHICH SHE TRIED TO SABOTAGE and then control her own) she said “I’m so disturbed you know so much about me!” Well! Digital footprint. 🫠

So saying that you don’t know you don’t know, you couldn’t have seen it, save it. She and 100+ gwynriels had a real laugh on Twitter when I posted my art, my mentions were a MESS. You don’t respect artists unless they fit your agenda and I can say that’s a fandom wide problem.

But back to my art that got dragged to HELL. Katie then took the SAME theory regardless of how it was “nestas sword” and went to an elriel artist (who she’s claimed was unprofessional btw!) to have the very same idea done just by a bigger artist and make it gwynriel this time!

And in the caption she felt it was sooo original even though weeks prior she and others had a great big laugh over my art. I DO NOT feel SAFE or RESPECTED or SUPPORTED in this fandom as it is and I think that goes for a LOT of artists that dare touch it.

Even before I started posting I saw for MONTHS how antis talk about and treat elriels and their art. I couldn’t look up elriel without seeing it. I’ve seen my own friends stuff be reposted and made fun of countless times, people who aren’t involved in drama at all. ((In fact, I think that’s what radicalized me! Because I’m otherwise very openminded and interested in multiship. ))

And this isn’t to say elriels don’t do it I know they do and i’ve confronted people about it. I hate art bashing and I don’t understand how anybody imagines motivating art posting with that sort of environment. It’s not possible.

I lost all motivation and I’ve even had someone tell me to kill myself LMAO so! I don’t want to hijack this drama because it’s NOT about me but I’m infuriated with this honorable air of “we would never! We had no idea! We love artists!”

You don’t unless they work towards your agenda. And I’m saying that to ALL. I’m so fed up with this hostile environment that doesn’t let artists create or befriend unless it’s within the pre established boundaries. I’ve really had enough.

And to clear some things up:

Katie wasn’t bullied for her gwydion gwynriel art. People just pointed out the hypocrisy.

Katie never asked unii if she could 1:1 copy her art. She just didn’t. That’s why the DMs were shared. You can find threads on this.

But Katie (and others) went on about how unprofessional she was. Even though Katie went AFTER she saw that her copying wasn’t as subtle as she thought. Stealing from a small artist is not “respecting artists”. And “exposure” isn’t an apology.

Be better, ask those around you to not be so vile and stop using the excuse “well they also-“ idc just stop. It’s not helping anyone, most especially artists that are trying their best to get out there and make friends.

[sakurakittypeach]

a gwynriel got caught stiffing artists and elriels are the bad guys somehow. yeah ok

[mabevil]

you weren’t “defending your friend from being harassed by mean old elriels,” you were defending her from being held accountable, over and over and over again, and because of that more people were scammed and screwed over. so forgive me for not having any sympathy over it. the only people innocent in this are the artists 🤷‍♀️

[yandereplumblossom]

You aren't protecting artist by not calling out a scammer.

Hope it Helps.
