So because I refuse to let the rampant ignorance continue within this cursed fandom when one side will just say unfounded things that can easily be disproven and think they're right just because they think they are, because I have days off from work and I am nothing if not an insufferable bitch when I have free time of any kind, and also because as an Elriel I will always ALWAYS have quotes to prove your ass wrong, I'll proceed to debunk whatever this fuckery, I had the misfortune to read, is:
Reporting to Azriel against Rhys' orders:
“Why do you think they’re now whispering in Azriel’s ear that I’m in here?” “I thought they answered to Rhys.” “They answer to both, but they were trained by Azriel first.”
“Are they spying on me?”
“No.” She frowned at a loose thread in her rain cloud–colored shirt. Her chin-length dark hair swayed as she lifted her head. “Rhys has told them time and again not to, but I don’t think Azriel will ever trust me fully. So they’re reporting on my movements. And with good reason.”
ACOMAF - Chapter 28
(Pretty early on this is canon, shocking that you don't remember queen)
Doing "anything that isn't cooking or cleaning"
Exhibit A: Protecting Feyre UTM
Nails clicked on stone, and my escorts swapped glances before they swung me into an alcove, a tapestry that hadn’t been there a moment before falling over us, the shadows deepening, solidifying. I had a feeling that if someone pulled back that tapestry, they would see only darkness and stone. One of them covered my mouth with a hand, holding me tightly to her, shadows slithering down her arm and onto mine.
ACOTAR - Chapter 41
Exhibit B: Styling Feyre for missions
Nuala selected seafoam green accented with rose gold, curling and then braiding back my hair in a thick, loose plait glimmering with bits of pearl. (...) But she took extra care of my face, brightening my lips with raspberry pink, dusting my cheeks with the faintest blush. I might have looked innocent, charming.(...)
Rhysand’s gaze swept over me, noting the clothes that were obviously in honor of my host and his people.(...)
“You’re looking well today,” Tarquin said, inclining his head.
Nuala, it seemed, was a spectacularly good spy. Tarquin’s pewter tunic was accented with the same shade of seafoam green as my clothes. We might as well have been a matching set. I supposed with my brown-gold hair and pale skin, I was his mirror opposite.
ACOMAF - Chapter 34 (emphasis on spectacularly good spies, not cooks or cleaners you dumb fuck)
Exhibit C: More styling
I’d worn the necklace he’d given me, and Nuala and I planned my clothes around it. We’d decided on gray—a soft, dove shade—to show off the glittering black. I had worn nothing else—no earrings, no bracelets, no rings. Tarquin had seemed pleased by it
ACOMAF - Chapter 35
Exhibit D: More styling for missions.
We had taken my gown from Starfall and refashioned it, adding sheer silk panels to the back shoulders, the glittering material like woven starlight as it flowed behind me in lieu of a veil or cape. If Rhysand was Night Triumphant, I was the star that only glowed thanks to his darkness, the light only visible because of him.
I scowled up the stairs. That is, if he bothered to show up on time.
My hair, Nuala had swept into an ornate, elegant arc across my head, and in front of it (...). The crown.
ACOWAR - Chapter 41
Are you catching the drift or are you too hopelessly dumb still?
The twins can't be spared because they're Azriel's spies and Elain's friends on top of other tasks they do for the IC. Lucien was doing fuck all while moping around and sitting on his ass because he was officially kicked out from Spring Court, on top of this obviously being a device for Lucien to find Vassa who he obviously found comfort in because he STAYED THERE. What the fuck do the twins have to do with Vassa you idiot.
So the twins who have been here since book one, doing multiple things, across multiple books, are the exact same that two characters who never did anything of relevance? How so? That comparison just shows your lack of reading comprehension..
Exhibit whatever:
“Tomorrow night,” I said. “We note the guard’s rotations tonight at low tide—figure out where the watchers are. Who we might need to take out before we make our move.”
“You think like an Illyrian,” Rhys murmured.
“I believe that’s supposed to be a compliment,” Amren confided.
Rhys snorted, and shadows gathered around him as he loosened his grip on his power. “Nuala and Cerridwen are already on the move inside the castle. I’ll take to the skies. The two of you should go for a midnight walk—considering how hot it is.”
ACOMAF - Chapter 35
Would you look at that, Feysand take them to missions and use their skills for spying just as they do with Amren. I know others can't relate. SHOCKER considering they were also with Rhys UTM who would've thought. You could say this ISN'T cleaning and cooking, could you?
HAHAHAHAHAHA I'M SORRY WHAT THE FUCK EVEN IS THIS AHAHAHAHAHH why on earth woul any of us want the twins ANYWHERE NEAR THAT BUM HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
WHAT MAKES YOU THINK WE'D WANT FOR HER TO KNOW WHO LUCIEN IS AS A PERSON AHAHAHAAHAHAHAAHH OH MY GOD THIS SHIT IS TOO FUNNY
One of the best parts of the twins is they have zero connection with him. In fact keep the twins AS FAR AWAY FROM HIM as possible. Ew. Those are Elain's friends. Not his. If anything the men they're tied the most to are Rhys and Az. WHAT A COINCIDENCE! Both Elain's brother in law and the man she ACTUALLY wants. It's almost like... Sarah wrote that intentionally.
Again. Ew. Not everything has to be about your unwashed ginger. You're the only ones desperate for him to be of any relevance. Us over here in rational land are horrified by your hallucinations.
By "ridiculous Elriel theory" you mean the books??
“You came,” Elain said behind her, and Nesta started, not having heard her sister approach. She scanned Elain from head to toe, wondering if she’d been taking lessons in stealth either from Azriel or the two half-wraiths she called friends.
ACOSF - Chapter 58
Feyre smiled. “Elain was the only one who guessed. She caught me vomiting two mornings in a row.” She nodded toward Azriel. “I think she’s got you beat for secret-keeping.”
ACOSF - Chapter 21
And if you try REAL HARD and use that teeny tiny brain for a change you'll notice that in both this instances Elain - the twins - Azriel are always mentioned closely together. Maybe just MAYBE it's because Elriels are right, because we rely on canon evidence, that Nuala and Cerridwen are Elain's friends who will make up the trio and Azriel is Elain's endgame. They are a unit of spies the same way Nesta-Cassian-and the Valkyrie are the warrior unit, and Feyre-Rhys- Mor and Amren are the ruling unit of the Night Court. These books aren't that hard to understand, you don't have to be this confused all the time. I promise.
And also if just maybe you didn't struggle with reading this very simple literature so much you would notice all of these things the same way we did, and you wouldn't be so befuddled when we have these discussions about the twins and their involvement in the books and Elain's life that you seem to be so super interested in chiming in on.
