Day 7: Free Day/AU

No one speaks up. She’s praised. Loved. Glazed.

And now, her true colors have finally come to light. You’ve been proven right all along but how dare you share that sentiment!

“Elriels are trying to get involved” nobody said anything until a post was found in our tag calling out the situation. After that, elriels started posting about how horrible this person has been, and yes, also calling out her friends and people who were more than okay with her toxic behavior towards elriels.

God forbid we talk about it in our own tags and have some doubt that her closest buddies she’d constantly be seen with had no idea at all whats been happening.

But you know what? A year back, people from their own side shaded her. They immediately saw how toxic she was. Breaching peoples privacy, backstabbing, spreading rumours etc. Did any of them speak up for their fellow stans? No. She got away with it.

She has always been a manipulative liar. Antis loved it because of how much sh*t she did to elriels. What they didn’t expect, was for her to turn around and be toxic to them. That is where their hurt is stemming from. Not the realisation she’s a bad person, but that she could be that way to them.

And there is something so poetic about that.

Yes elriels are going to talk about this because after months of her being able to get away with the stunts she’s pulled, she’s finally being held vaguely accountable. Elriels have been proven right once again. That is a cause for discussion especially when its being done in our own tags with ourselves.

𓇢𓆸 Her eyes were the brown of a fawn’s coat.

Cassian bonus having him meeting Emerie, talking to her, feeling bad for her past, flashing her a smile, wishing her a happy solstice and then leaving the shop.

Cassian throwing the solstice gift into the Sidra river like a furious warrior and some people thinking it was over for Nesta, and that that scene with Emerie meant something.

Azriel leaving the solstice gift in the library like a sad gentleman and some people thinking it was over for Elain, and that that scene with Gwyneth meant something.

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.

In Welsh mythology Cerridwen is an important goddess and the keeper of the cauldron.

In one story a boy called Gwion was tasked with stirring a potion she was brewing in it when he ended up swallowing some, granting him the gift of wisdom. He ran away but Cerridwen pursued him. Gwion used his new gift to transform himself into various animals to try to escape her but Cerridwen always transformed herself into a corresponding predator and continued to chase him. When he became a hare she became a greyhound. When he became a fish she became an otter. When he became a bird she became a hawk. Finally when he became a grain of wheat she became a hen and swallowed him. This led to him being reborn from her and becoming the legendary bard Taliesin.

This story demonstrates Cerridwen's role as a goddess that guides people through necessary if unpleasant transformations and helps lead them to a better version of themselves.

So far in the books we have seen Cerridwen be instrumental in helping Elain adjust to her transformation and I look forward to seeing how she will continue to help guide her into embracing her new abilities in the next books.
