WITH ALL THE LUST!

GIVE ME EYE FU*KING FROM ACROSS BALLROOMS.

Give me pulled hair and Azriel biting Elain’s 👄

Shadows caressing naked skin.

Give me Azriel’s eyes rolling to the back of his head at just catching a whiff of her scent …

Give me elain taking charge…

Again.. give me the lust since that’s all the anti’s say they are 😆

I can’t wait. 😛

When at one point feysand ended here

When at one point nessian ended here

Feysand was apart for 3 months

Nessian was apart for 9 months

Elriel TBD

Since when did mates come before love in the Maasiverse?

BUT AZRIEL'S SHADOWS MINGLED WITH GWYN'S BREATH---

They also touched and stroked Feyre's cheek.

BUT GWYN'S PELVIS---

Hey so we don't do that here!

AZRIEL ONLY LUSTS AFTER ELAIN---

Even Elain’s friends, Nuala and Cerridwen, are closer to the IC than Lucien and Gwyn. The Twins enjoy the complete trust— especially from Rhys for many decades now, and from Azriel for even longer. The same cannot be said of Lucien and Gwyn.

That’s what is written in the books. Sorry not sorry.

I have read HUNDREDS of romance novels. Many where you don’t even get the MMCs pov and you definitely don’t get any side characters romance povs. I have never questioned their love for each other. I have especially never questioned SJM when it comes to her characters endgames and attraction. None have ever shocked me.

EVERY SINGLE romance and romantasy follows a pattern and acotar is no different.

So why now am I supposed to question my own reading ability when it comes to Elucien and Elriel? Why now are basic romance writing tools and processes not correct?

I’ve never been surprised by an endgame pairing especially when it comes to sjm so why now am i just supposed to wait and see for elain and luciens pov and what she does with them after 4 books of very clear and obvious Elriel set up(and zero set up for elucien)?

Why is elain not speaking to Lucien on page for the last 800 pages not a big enough indicator for you????

I didn’t need nessians pov, i didn’t need amren x varians pov, i didnt need the side romances in CC povs, etc.

elain should be with lucien but should beg for forgiveness before they get together.

azriel should be with gwyn because he deserves better than elain and gwyn is more worthy.

like these are both frequent talking points of gwynriels and eluciens and it genuinely baffles me how they cannot see such blatant sexism.

you do not have to be unflawed to be worthy of love. you should always strive to do better and apologise where you must, (both of which elain has done), obviously but these are things we should be doing anyway because we're human.

being worthy of love isn't a number above your head that deducts a point for every mistake you make. that's ugly thinking.

when characters are flawed it makes for better story. nobody adores katara or katniss or diana of themyscira because they were immediately perfect??? that's so boring i am yawning. why do i give a fuck if someone is perfect. what story is there left to tell.

give me elain archeron with all of her cowardice and all of her kindness. i want to see her meekness and the agency with which she grows. i want her to throw duty to the wind and own her defiance.

This is the last interaction we see between Elain and Azriel in ACOSF and I think it perfectly sets the stage for their romance. Their feelings have been slowly building for multiple books now and tension like that can’t be kept secret for long.

This commission by the talented thiaperezart captures the mutual yearning and desire between Elain and Azriel so beautifully! Fingers crossed we finally get to see Azriel on his knees for the woman he’s been so desperate for in the new books 💖

The ship is just totally pulled out of someone's ass, and they pretend it's canon when they just mistook their fanon for the books. Lmao it's so funny. Canon Az and Gwyn don't know a single thing about each other and don't care to know either. And gwynriels are over here acting like they're about to get married and have kids.

It was so weird for me too when I first saw it pop up, genuinely thought it was a booktok cult and y'know what? I was right, except that it didn't originate from booktok.

"she's the light to his darkness" im sorry, what? how? The fact even in their imaginary HCs they still steal from elriel because Elain and Azriel are canonically associated with dark and light.

We don't even know Gwyn's sexuality, once you let that sink in, Gwynriel becomes even more absurd. This whole ship was fabricated out of misinterpretation meanwhile...no one can claim Gwyn is straight. As for Azriel, even after meeting his mate, he was still ready to go down for another woman...what type of romance set up is that?

The ship itself isn't canon as Gwyn and Azriel aren't Lis. Thats a fact antis cannot accept.

you know whats rlly funny? when you argue with Gwynriels, you realise how much sh*t they pull from thin air and how much of their canon is wrong.
