For context: One of SJM's friends (Steph) did a livestream where she asked if SJM could make Azriel's LI have her bday (1/15) and SJM went 🤨👍 "oookay sure. Whatever." GAs have used this as evidence by some sketchy math to say that Gwyn is born on 1/15 and is Azriel's mate.

Aside from the fact that this took place already after ACOSF was published so SJM did not actually plan for any of this .....

Steph doesn't know shit. She has backtracked on almost all her statements considering Azriel's bonus chapter.

Honestly entire conversation gave the same energy as when I wrote about a pet dog in my fantasy novel WIP, and my best friend asked if the dog could be named after her. I was like ... mkay whatever sure? It's not relevant but ok?

I also love that GAs just assumed it meant Gwyn because of some (incorrect) counting backwards.

They immediately dismissed the fact that we don't know Elain's birthday. Even if the whole "Az's love interest is born in January" thing is a joke - it could STILL also apply to Elain.

Everything stems from some wonky math done with Nesta's bday in Spring & some opinions from Feyre's bday in December.

They cite this quote to justify the math:

But again - we don't know WHAT time of year this flashback occurs.

Nesta was born in spring, yes. But if this conversation with Mama Archeron takes place in January-February, then Elain very well could've also been born in January/February.

If this conversation takes place in Fall, then Elain very well could've been born in Fall.

The fact is - WE DONT KNOW WHEN ELAIN IS BORN.

And no, Feyre's birthday being December has no effect on Elain's birthday. "SJM wouldn't put them so close together" uh why not? It's not like it's impossible? Like my own sister and I are born the same month (3 years apart but still).
