I've finished reading ACOTAR a month ago because a lot of people recommend that book, also one of the reason why I exited to read it because of Azriel, I want to met this mysterious quite guy lol.
I know Feyre will be with Tamlin first then Rhys, and Cassian will be with Nesta. But Idk Azriel ended up with whom. I though acotar series already finished cause people always recommend reading acotar first then TOG, and the newest CC.
I just think Azriel doesn't have any fix love interest. Then I'm reading the book, on second book (ACOMAF) Azriel pining over Mor for 500 years and I want Mor at least give my man a chance. But when first time batboys met Archeron sisters, I like cute interaction between Azriel with Elain and Feyre also said ─ at how handsome they (Elain and Azriel) would be together. And I think they would be cute together too, they have similar personality and stuff, but when Elain and Nesta got into cauldron, and Lucien says to Elain that she is his mate,
I be like okay that's cute cause I also like Lucien. But on third book (ACOWAR) Elain keep avoiding Lucien but she had growing interaction with Az. And also Mor said to Feyre that she's into women. I start to like Elain and Az together but not shipping yet. I like Elain cause I find myself at her and I love soft, feminine female.
When Azriel saving Elain's and risking his own life also he give her a truth-teller, the fact that he doesn't let anyone even Rhys and Cassian (his best friend/ brothers for 500 years) touch it, that time I started to shipping Elain and Azriel. I mean if Azriel just want to being decent like Cassian did, he could give Elain another dagger/knife he had, not his precious favorite one.
I know Elain and Lucien are mates I also kinda like them together, but Elain keep avoiding and uncomfortable around him and she had more shyly interaction towards Azriel.
Then, I saw on TikTok people keep shipping Azriel with this girl, Gwyn. I don't know her yet, I thought she will be appear on book fourth (ACOFAS) but she doesn't and in that book Elriel interaction even more obvious they had things for each other meanwhile Elucien seems uncomfortable around each other.
In Fifth books (ACOSF) is a Nesta book and Elain barely appear, finally I met this Gwyn girl which aperantly Nesta's friend. I want to open minded not biased cause I like Elriel first. I though Az and Gwyn having a cute legendary moment than Elriel since most people online shipping them, but turns out it's doesn't.
I read scene interaction between Azriel and Gwyn but none of them like growing it's just like nice interaction but just that. Just regular decent interaction cause Az train her. And people keep saying read bonus chapter, read bonus chapter and I did. I did read it, but it's makes me wants and exited for Elriel even more, they almost kissed and the miss communication.
I don't know why people ship Gwyn with Azriel after he give her a second hand necklaces, for me it's meh and I don't like Azriel for that. And the fact that he literally begging want to taste another woman too? If Azriel give Elain a second hand necklaces he supposed to give to another woman and he thinking about taste another woman body, I wouldn't ship Elriel. I don't want Elain with a man that easily move on woman to woman in sort time. He move on from Mor to Elain and then to Gwyn in very short time? That's very ick.
And his shadow dance around Gwyn and okay? his shadow just not react just to Gwyn. Azriel shadow also disappear around Elain because that shadow supposed to hid him, protect him, but it disappears so it's mean Az comfort with Elain and safe around her. The shadow also protect Elain and ready to strike. Meanwhile Elain and Azriel have a lot of cuter interactions I can't even name it than Gwynriel & Elucien, obviously I'm with Elriel even more rn. It's canon book. And idk why people ships depends on BC so much, bonus chapter doesn't making huge impact for next book, people who read acotar mostly doesn't know BC exist unless people in fandom told them about it. It's weird people assume just base on bonus chapter not base on actual book.
For a month I join this fandom and I do realize the fandom are toxic, very toxic. And I never saw these kind of toxicity in another book fandom. They argue about literally everything, and making an assumption/ theory's that's not even make sense. Cause wdym Elain will end up with Tamlin just because she like flowers? That's so dumb.
I love Elain Archeron and she might be my favorite Archeron sister, but the hate she received in acotar fandom is force. People call her boring, useless and everytime I saw elriel/ elain videos on socials the comments section very unhygienic. Like;
"Azriel deserve better"
"I don't want Az with plant"
"I don't like Elain with Azriel because Azriel too good for her"
"Elain's annoying, boring, useless and she will became evil sister, she would be betraying IC"
"Lucien deserve to be happy"
I hate it, all that just men oriented. I want Elain to be happy and we don't even have her POV yet, we don't know her thoughts and what else with she might gonna do. I want Lucien be happy too, but I think Elain is not the one. He uncomfortable with her, be careful like Elain is glass that breaks easily. He can't be like himself if he act like that, don't forget about Elain's feeling too, she clearly doesn't want Lucien.
I do really exited for her books, can't wait for ACOTAR next books and who's books is gonna about, I assume it's Elain's book, but who knows?
I always told myself I don't really want to expect too high, if I do really believe with these theory or ship, there's still have any of other possibilities. Elain might be ended up with Lucien or anyone else beside Azriel and well I'm actually fine with that, unless she end up with Tamlin, if she with Tamlin I will crash out (which is that's doesn't happen). I'm okay if Azriel ended up with anyone beside Elain, but again for now on Elriel having mutual interest and feeling and them just make sense and I'm sure they would be together. From books and there's a lot of hint of them.
What I don't understand some people keep denying Elriel, says they doesn't have chemistry or make sense even though they are obvious.
