And not flipping to chapter 21 of ACOSF to see what it’s about.

Oh it’s about Elain! No wonder antis don’t finish figuring out what this clue means.

The Valkyries story is worth telling and it was told in ACOSF. Will they continue having their story told as a subplot in Elain’s book? Probably! Just as Feysand had a subplot in Nesta’s book.

But who has a story that was hinted at in chapter 21 that is also very deserving of being told? Who made it clear that she is ready to explore her powers and to find her when it’s time to begin? Whose story did the author show interest in telling on CHD?

Elain Archeron.

Here’s the link to the Elriel that originally created the chapter 21 theory 💙🩷

Yet somehow people looked at it and saw "Gwyn's ribbon", a shape on a post and suddenly it's confirmation that she's the next FMC and that the valkyries are coming... 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

Valkyries ≠ Gwynriel

Valkyries = Nesta, Emerie and Gwyn

and this is bloomsbury, not a random shop making money. This is the official publishing house doing promo for acotar6 with gwyn and the valkyries as the main theme. Not elain. Not gardening. Gwyn and the ribbon. The valkyries and the blood rite.

Let me know when the “merch” drops for sale to the public.

The Valkyries PILATES class not promoting any ships or having any hint to do with ACOTAR 6?

Do you think Bloomsbury would let a random influencer spoil who the endgame is? I’m legitimately just wondering. When they’ve been so tight lipped for so long? That it’s not going to come from Sarah instead of someone with a few thousand followers that posted a book that THEY turned to with their own page markers and highlighted? Did you forget the theme of the class was Valkyries? Did you forget when SJM said that BB is going to want to make a big deal of it when announcing the couple/POVs?

Are you ignoring the presale tickets that were made? That came from Bloomsbury to major retailers? With the pink gradient? With the flowers? With the QBD black and pink blending?

Or ignoring the IMG contract that SJM signed? That has done everything but promote Gwynriel. These are not “random” shops making money. These are licensed merchandisers via IMG who are working with SJM’s marketing team and more than likely getting overhead approval by her as well or at least an extremely trusted person on her team.

Did you forget that in that moment, it wasn’t about Gwyn and Azriel, it was about Gwyn cutting the ribbon to become the first Valkyrie? A pivotal moment for all of them. It’s really embarrassing how you want to make your favorite female character an object to a man at arguably one of the most moving points in the book. Instead of looking at it like “hey, this is a motivational Pilates class and this was a motivational part in the book”, you use the highlighted section of where she CUT the ribbon to say “haha Gwynriel endgame”. You guys are so weird with your female characters and subjecting them to just be a man’s love interest. Honestly.

Valkyries does not equal Gwynriel. It equals three powerful women who were able to overcome their trauma with love and friendship and you’re subjecting only Gwyn to be a man’s love interest instead of looking at THEIR ACHIEVEMENTS of her becoming the first Valkyrie. Instead of looking at the theme as a whole. Pls stop embarrassing yourself.

You really think Elain isn’t getting a book? Over the fourth Archeron sister?

So...

A direct order from Rhys.

The threat of Lucien retaliating to defend the mating bond via a battle to the death.

Azriel most likely killing Lucien which Rhysand agrees would happen.

"Rip apart any fragile peace and alliances".

With not one Court, but two, plus the Band of Exiles.

Rhysand says he'll make Az regret it if he disobeys.

All of that isn't forbidden enough, "satisfying or interesting" enough for you?

​"Azriel risking his life to save Elain means nothing."

​"Them giving each other gifts on the Winter Solstice means nothing."

​"Azriel taking the plate of potatoes from Elain's hands and not letting anyone eat until she arrived means nothing."

​"Azriel thinking about Elain for the whole means nothing."

​"Elain being the reason why Azriel's 500-year-old unrequited love finally ended means nothing."

​"Azriel watching Elain through the window means nothing."

​"Azriel tracking Elain's laughter and wondering what made her smile means nothing."

​"Azriel giving Elain his Truth-Teller, which he never lets anyone touch or hold, means nothing."

​"Azriel questioning the Cauldron and his own faith means nothing."

​"The shadows seemingly wanting to protect Elain during her argument with Nesta means nothing."

​"Azriel getting angry and worried after Elain argued with Nesta means nothing."

All those canon proofs mean nothing, but to

Gwynriels: tHe SpArK mEaNs EvErYtHiNg

SAME.

wrong!!

“They take [insert merch/articles/interviews/emojis here] as confirmation instead of the books!!”

While we have all that and the Truth Teller scene, and the rescue scene, and Azriel following the sound of Elain’s laughter, and Elain calling Azriel’s hands beautiful, and many many more from over 4 books.
