My take on this is as follows:
this is Feyre's corner, with the crown, the book and the arrows
this is Nesta's corner, with the mask and the sword, blood (pomegranate) and bone
and this is Elain's corner:
I think that the Harp is her Dead Trove object (with the crown being Feyre's and the Mask being Nesta's)
The spindle--a Weaver of fates and the symbol of 'home'. Black box, where Koschei keeps his immortality. The chalice I am not sure yet. The stone--a syphon?
Finally, the horn in the back--Bryce? Set in the background because she won't play a major role, but the association is there?
Thoughts?
Remember when it was:
A Gwyn book
A Gwynriel book
A Gwynriel crossover with other Maasverse books (Gwyn as a translator for Bryce)
It's Azriel's book
Azriel's book with Gwyn equally
Azriel's book with Nesta as the FMC, and Gwynriel developing
A massive crossover with Nessian and Gwynriel as the main couples
A Valkyrie book
Elucien first, then a Gwynriel book
Gwynriel first, then an Elucien book
A Gwynriel novella between book 6 and 7
An Elucien novella between book 6 and 7
Elain can't carry a book
SJM changed her mind, book
Coping begins:
Equal POVs, Gwynriel and Elucien book
It will start with Elriel, but then they'll move on to Gwyn and Lucien respectively book
Elriel ended in the Bonus Chapter book
It will be Elriel, but then Gwyn will be revealed as Azriel's mate and he'll dump Elain book
Elain will be humbled and will crawl back to Lucien book
Elain doesn't deserve either Lucien and Azriel, so it will be a Gwyn and Azriel book, and Elain will be with Tamlin in Spring, and Lucien will get a new LI
Elain dies book
'SJM can write anything' book
Azriel and Gwyn leave for Midgard book, Elain stays behind with Lucien
It's still a Valkyrie book
Post CHD podcast:
It's multi POV
First book WILL be Elriel, but then it will split into an Elucien book, and a Gwynriel book, and an Emorie book
Elain might be the FMC, but it will be an Elucien book
'I don't care about ships' book
It will be a Valkyrie book with Gwynriel in book 7
Short 1st book will be Elucien and then it will be Gwynriel for 1000 pages
SJM can write anything book
It's all one big ruse by Bloomsbury, book
'I didn't know it was a romantasy' book
Elain doesn't need a male LI, she is a strong independent woman
Elain will never forgive Azriel book, so she will go to Lucien because she has no choice
"I am no longer discussing ships. SJM can write anything' book
Elriels bullied SJM into writing an Elriel book
I will set myself on fire if it's an Elriel book, book
This week:
It's an Autumn Court book
Gwyn who, book?
Gwyn will not be in the first book at all, and maybe in the second
This might be a Elain, Azriel and Lucien book
Could it be a book with a triangle of Azriel, Elain and Lucien? I never considered it
Bloomsbury is just keeping everything secret, but the big reveal will be a Gwynriel book
Guys, what if it's an Elriel and a Vassien book?
It's a multi-POV book!
meanwhile, Elriels, since early 2017: it's an Elriel book
These book content creators genuinely baffle me because WHY are they SO convinced that ACOTAR 6, 7 and 8 are going to be completely separate stories? Did their listening comprehension leave the building? 😭 is it really that hard to understand that these are FOUR PARTS OF ONE BOOK?
The SAME four parts Nesta had, and I don't see anyone saying her book needed more characters, different Courts or completely separate storylines to fill it out... the problem is that, in their little air-filled heads, they see Elain as a boring, irrelevant character who could disappear and nothing would change, and apparently the only way she could possibly be important is if she becomes a villain or ends up with Lucien 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
Because God forbid we see Elain carrying multiple plotlines in a huge book all on her own, without needing a man to make her story relevant ✨️
Please BB / Sarah, announce Elain's book already, I desperately need some visual and auditory rest from all these idiots who genuinely think a character like Lucien or Gwyn is more important than Elain :)
If you ever wonder how much E/uciens care about Elain…
Their “favourite moment” of Elain that just won on their subreddit was…
“His name is Lucien.”
Their favourite moment is a moment that was heartbreaking for Elain. When she was already at her lowest after dealing with having her body violated by being forced in the cauldron, her ex-fiancé broke her heart by not accepting what she had become.
And that’s their favourite moment…
Just say you only want Elain to be a tool in Lucien’s story because nobody is buying that you actually care for her.
Elain deserves better than Lucien and his fans.

the sjm glaze is eating your minds alive. this release is being mishandled and its okay to say that. sjm's refusal to post a word on the books has made her fandom significantly worse. you're allowed to criticise something and be a fan. being a fan doesn't mean you have to glaze every decision. i would argue that being a fan of something puts you in the position of being best qualified to criticise something.
sjm isn't gonna see your posts defending you and immediately make your preferred ship endgame. she's written the damn books.
— elriel throughout acotar‧₊˚ ☁️⋅♡𓂃 ࣪ ִֶָ☾.
Acotar Fandom yet again theorising a whole lot of nothing while deliberately ignoring the one and only hint told by SJM for future acotar plot.
Sarah j Maas, 2026:
“Im interested in exploring the concept of free will in mating bond”
this came rightafter Alex asked the question abt Elain’s mating bond situation.
Im not creating this out of my ass, this is literally the one and only, straight from the author, the new info we got for acotar’s future. Treating this info as nothing and ignored it just show how bias u are and that all of ur theories is based on WHAT YOU WANT and not WHAT THE AUTHOR INTENDED TO HAPPEN.
Antis dismiss it by claiming “free will in mating bond” meant Elain accepting the bond. If thats the case then why do SJM also discuss abt lucien and his “betrayal”. Why does she put the bond in negative light and purposely said that its different from what Feysand’s and Nessian’s have. And the iconic quote “nature made a mistake“.
So when I see #those fan made canva on what might be the future plot is, and they blatantly never address Elain’s mating bond situation, its bcoz they know that its heading towards the rejection plot per sjm’s comment.
Elain rejecting the mating bond or departure from what she has with Lucien was always hinted and intended to happen as proof from Acowar:
“Why not make them mates?”
“Why Lucien?”
What if”—I jerked my chin toward the window, to my sister and the shadowsinger in the garden—“that is what she needs?
“Is there no free will?”
The biggest theme if not the MAIN PLOT of the next books would be the free will in mating bond especially where Elain is concerned. Antis who made it seems that the plot will happen to LoA instead, they know theyre coping like…
Not to mentioned the introduction of the idea of blood duel as part of the Autumn court tradition and Az also used to want to invoke it??? Yea we def getting it in the next book
So excluded Elain from ur lil theories or lump her into Lucien’s journey make it so hard to take yall seriously.
For years yall be bitchin abt why Elain hasnt rejected the bond and when the time finally arrive, yall dont even want it.

This one is for any Mor fans.
No one convinced me to ship Elriel. I don't need to read BC to understand or to ship characters, I don't need to go to any social media to see a headcanon or theory to make me ship them, I don't need to read from different series to ship. simply I read acotar books and saw Elriel cute interaction and I ship them, as simple as that.
the book itself convince me to ship them ✨

Who is dying in ACOTAR 6? Because we are long overdue for an actual death that's deathing without the Cauldron's help
Cassian
Lucien
Morrigan
Amren
Eris
Gwyn
Emerie
Helion/LoA/another High Lord like Tarquin
Vassa
one of the Archeron sisters
one of the bat boys
Walk with me.
I am going to hold your hand when I explain this:
Gwyn has nothing to do with the Pegasus.
AT ALL.
She's never seen a Pegasus. She's never been on one. She doesn't ride a Pegasus. She doesn't have a pet pegasus.
We don't even know if she can ride a basic horse, let alone one with wings.
The only mention we've ever had of Gwyn and a Pegasus is at a slumber party, where there was a hologram of a mini Pegasus which liked her. It wasn't even a real animal that took a liking to her.
The Pegasus are associated with Dusk Court, the Prison, and Helion. Also with Jelly Jubilee, which is a toy that Bryce had.
Gwyn Berdara First of Her Name, High Queen, Valkyrie, Commander General of the Illyrian Armies, Supreme Commander of the Allied Armies of Prythian, High Lady of Dusk, Spring, Autumn, and Illyria, Lightsinger, Shadowsinger Whisperer, Carynthian, Librarian, Supreme Librarian, Scholar, Translator, Supreme Nanny, True Sister to Nesta, the Real Archeron...
has nothing to do with the Pegasus.
So, all the 'insider sources' that are telling Gwynriels that the cover will have a Pegasus on it are missing the point.
If there is a Pegasus on the cover, it's only one more proof that the book will be about Dusk Court.
Not Gwyn.
and for once, I actually kind of want the Gwynriel 'insider sources' to be correct, because a Pegasus on the cover will indicate that we are indeed going to Dusk. Which is where I personally had wanted to go for 6 years.

The fact Feyre was terrified of Rhys giving a full inner monologue about how evil he is and then in waltz his family who throw themselves all over his furniture, steal his food and tell him to fuck off just because they can whilst Rhys just stands there absolutely powerless to their shit will never not be funny to me
It's interesting how quickly the 'Illyrian Plot' folks are now tearing their shirts and thumping themselves on their chests screaming 'of course the book is about Autumn Court!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!'
Monday afternoon it was the Illyrian Plot with Gwyn.
Now, it's 'I'm no longer participating in the ship wars!' and "well, obviously the book will be about Autumn court' and "it's clearly Azriel, Elain and Lucien!' though last week, 'Elain can't carry a book'
Suddenly, Elain no longer needs to travel to the Continent, but should definitely stay in Prythian and in Autumn, and Gwyn, somehow, is no longer tasked with sorting out Autumn and bonding with LoA.
My flubbers are gasted with how quickly all of this changed.
