pro peace and quiet

SJM has told us multiple times in her different series that fated mates isn't the end all be all romance/perfect partnership.

Rowan & Aelin are mates, Rowan had a previous mate. Come to find out Maeve created a fake mating bond between Rowan and his first mate to manipulate him for centuries.

Rhys parents were mates, they barely liked each other. Rhys insinuated his mother wanted differently, that his parents bond wasn't ideal.

Tamlin says essentially the same thing about his own parents.

The Autumn Court High Lord has a wife that's not his mate, his wife had a love child with her mate and her mate hasn't done anything to get her back.

Elain not wanting to be bonded to Lucien (a complete stranger to her mind you) is not the end of the world nor is it the opposite of what SJM writes when it comes to mates. Sometimes it works out, sometimes it doesn't.

SJM is not fated mates author.

Please read the books.

None of us tried to turn this into a "ship war". None of the fictional characters were brought up whatsoever during this whole conversation. Gwyn, Elain,Azriel and Lucien were not mentioned AT ALL.

This is yet again an attempt at twisting the narrative and deflecting blame by making it into something it was not. It was never about shipping.

It was about THIS side of the fandom telling YOUR side of the fandom for at least a year how nasty Katie was and you ignoring/enabling her behavior because it fit your agenda of "Elriels are evil so they deserved it" and anything being fair game when it came to tormenting us. You knew what she was like, you ignored it and then it came back to bite you in the ass.

And instead of taking accountability that this one person did awful things and you were aware and fine with it, you dogpiled on the two-three people who were brave enough to stand against it, unlike the rest of you.

And as I said earlier, it makes no sense that you think it was because of us she deleted her account. Those were YOUR anons on her askbox asking her to stop airing out your dirty laundry because it tarnished your reputation. You couldn't "handle things privately" or sweep shit under the rug so instead it was best to harass her until she got fed up and left.

None of this is our fault. You STILL even after all this managed to take zero accountability, and are still blaming this on Elriels when all we did was verify that what Nestastits was saying was true because we KNEW. And if we knew then so did you, no matter how hard you try to play dumb now.

Her deactivating is on you. You flooded her inbox, you blocked and ostracized her into leaving this fandom because none of you would wanna associate with someone who dared speak up against your collective behavior.

Lie all you want and kiss each other's asses all you want. We know what the truth is.

​One of the most common arguments Eluciens throw around is how Rhys treated Feyre under the mountain, or what he did here and there. But they completely miss a crucial detail: Feyre was never afraid of Rhys. She never shrank herself around him, and she never walked on eggshells in his presence.

​With Elain and Lucien, the dynamic is entirely different. Elain visibly shrinks herself and constantly pulls back whenever Lucien is around.

This should be a wake up call to how toxic, demeaning and ostracising that side is. All because someone decided to speak up. All because they shared bad experiences with someone that elriels also had horrible experiences with. The fact this person was respectful, apologetic and even tried clearing her intentions only to be shunned out. Yet I already know its going to be spinned into it being elriels’ fault.

This is what a cult does and after this, that side is officially a cult.

Don’t step out of line otherwise you’d be shunned from their community.
