When a woman shows reticence and reservedness, she’s labeled as ‘boring’, ‘uninteresting’ and ‘plain’, but when a man exhibits these same exact qualities, he’s ‘mysterious’, ‘nuanced’ and ‘complex’.

I love and admire both Azriel and Elain for these qualities - in fact, I think that’s what makes them such a good fit for each other. They’re very similar - but they also have many differences between them that will inspire and initiate such beautiful growth and healing within them together.

I wish that Elain was shown the same respect as Azriel for being soft-spoken and exhibiting a more quiet demeanor.

Ya know, it’s a Monday morning. I can’t think of a good caption haha I’ll just say, my idea consisted of Elriel in this form and Azriel with shadows. Trying to get what I meant with it on paper right now, my brain is struggling. Please interpret how you will 🙏🏼🫶🏼

They look so good together!!

Step 1: A gwynriel or Elucien does something shady towards an Elriel.

Step 2: An Elriel calls them out

Step 3: Gwynriels and Eluciens “OMG THE ELRIELS ARE HARASSING PEOPLE AGAIN”

When I see someone who says:

I hate Elain, she's useless, she's a plant, she doesn't deserve _______, I bet she's evil, she's a pick me, she's not doing anything, she's boring.

And then, I look at their posts: 🩷🧡🌸🦊
