Living In Wonder.

ELAIN IS USELESS

this is consistently perpetuated so much so that some fans have gaslighted themselves into believing it:

This needs to be corrected

She killed Hybern

She found the suriel

She volunteered to talk with Graysen about helping the humans

She warned the IC about the attack on Velaris

She gave the IC a heads up on Vassa

She was tied up and still was fighting the monsters that attacked Azriel

She buys presents for her friends and family (one sister definitely didn’t, she just showed up for her cheque👀)

She cooks for the family and friends

Makes a big deal about Feyre’s Birthday and commissions a cake to help her celebrate after she almost died.

She makes a garden for her family and friends

She spends time helping the characters in Velaris rebuild their gardens.

Just because Nesta’s character doesn’t acknowledge it when she is being nasty and hurtful, doesn’t mean that it wasn’t apart of the canon written in the books.

Losing your empathy, losing your imagination, and finding yourself alone are all connected.

I just got emotional thinking about exactly how safe Elain was in this moment. Nothing and no one was going to stop Azriel from rescuing her, not even the fact that Nesta—chief protector of Elain—said, “Then you will die.” Azriel’s only response to that was to repeat what he’d already declared: “I’m getting her back.” And he did.

When he found Elain, Azriel’s first words words were “Are you hurt?” But Elain just looked at him and said, “You came for me.” As if she knew he would.

And just as not even almost certain death stopped Azriel from saving Elain, he refused to let her go from his arms until he knew she was in a safe location—and even then his first words were “We need to get these chains off her” while he was severely wounded and bleeding profusely.

I think Elain understood all that, too, because what did she do when Azriel set her down? She rose up on her tip-toes and kissed his cheek, while her ankles were still in shackles.
