Nuala and Cerridwen week!!!

Because that’s how I knew to BLOCK HER (and her friends!) before she started posting commissions because she was giggling with everyone how stupid elriel art/artists are. I wasn’t her friend but I saw it with my own eyes countless times.

I think if you spend any time around her you’d know how she felt. She was bold enough to tell an elriel commissioner elriel art sucks and her ideas would be better and fresh. TO AN ELRIEL COMMISSIONER IN HER DMS when she played at making friends with everyone.

Like we had no idea? Like we hadn’t seen how she behaved for months on TikTok? Like people don’t talk to each other??? So when she got smacked with the evidence for Elain week (WHICH SHE TRIED TO SABOTAGE and then control her own) she said “I’m so disturbed you know so much about me!” Well! Digital footprint. 🫠

So saying that you don’t know you don’t know, you couldn’t have seen it, save it. She and 100+ gwynriels had a real laugh on Twitter when I posted my art, my mentions were a MESS. You don’t respect artists unless they fit your agenda and I can say that’s a fandom wide problem.

But back to my art that got dragged to HELL. Katie then took the SAME theory regardless of how it was “nestas sword” and went to an elriel artist (who she’s claimed was unprofessional btw!) to have the very same idea done just by a bigger artist and make it gwynriel this time!

And in the caption she felt it was sooo original even though weeks prior she and others had a great big laugh over my art. I DO NOT feel SAFE or RESPECTED or SUPPORTED in this fandom as it is and I think that goes for a LOT of artists that dare touch it.

Even before I started posting I saw for MONTHS how antis talk about and treat elriels and their art. I couldn’t look up elriel without seeing it. I’ve seen my own friends stuff be reposted and made fun of countless times, people who aren’t involved in drama at all. ((In fact, I think that’s what radicalized me! Because I’m otherwise very openminded and interested in multiship. ))

And this isn’t to say elriels don’t do it I know they do and i’ve confronted people about it. I hate art bashing and I don’t understand how anybody imagines motivating art posting with that sort of environment. It’s not possible.

I lost all motivation and I’ve even had someone tell me to kill myself LMAO so! I don’t want to hijack this drama because it’s NOT about me but I’m infuriated with this honorable air of “we would never! We had no idea! We love artists!”

You don’t unless they work towards your agenda. And I’m saying that to ALL. I’m so fed up with this hostile environment that doesn’t let artists create or befriend unless it’s within the pre established boundaries. I’ve really had enough.

And to clear some things up:

Katie wasn’t bullied for her gwydion gwynriel art. People just pointed out the hypocrisy.

Katie never asked unii if she could 1:1 copy her art. She just didn’t. That’s why the DMs were shared. You can find threads on this.

But Katie (and others) went on about how unprofessional she was. Even though Katie went AFTER she saw that her copying wasn’t as subtle as she thought. Stealing from a small artist is not “respecting artists”. And “exposure” isn’t an apology.

tbh i don’t really have words. this is shocking and devastating and i’m praying for her family in all of this.

if you have the means to donate to help those suffering in the aftermath of the venezuela earthquakes, here are some links. i may update if i find more.

May she rest in peace!

Cerridwen 🪻

Headcanons:

She appreciates fine jewelry and has a growing collection of perfumes from across Prythian and the Continent

Prides herself on being the more fashion forward sister and designs most of the outfits and styling for the Inner Circle

Proficient with daggers, can hit a moving target from 10 meters consistently

More soft spoken and reserved than her twin

Has curly hair and loves trying new ways to style it

"And that entitles him to my affections?"

In ACOWAR, it seemed as though Elain had been trapped within her own mind,

Elain blinked and blinked, eyes clearing again. As if the understanding, our understanding … it freed her from whatever murky realm she’d been in.

Then, whilst she was sharing her vision about Vassa, Rhys asked if she knew about the other queens and their dealing with the “sourcer” to which Elain replies, that no. Thats all mist and shadow.

It seems like Elain can either access her visions by mentally entering this shadowy realm, some things aren’t clear to her (murky) whilst somethings are half-hidden, covered in shadows.

Wraiths are nothing but shadow and mist - who better to help Elain navigate this realm then the two beings made from the shadows who are able to enter anywhere?

I fully believe Nuala and Cerr will help Elain with her visions and exploring this murky realm she finds herself in, maybe this is why Elains been drawn to the twins, she feels connected to them in the way she is now connected to that realm, whatever it is.

I am so excited to learn more about Elains powers and how this trio naviagtes them.

She would harass elriels under tiktoks.

She went as far as to comment under elriel arts found on Pinterests.

She would constantly provoke elriels.

She made a horrible elriel one shot.

Apparently tried turning artists against elriels.

Antis were fine with her behavior. No one called her out. They even joined in. I can gurantee you, most of them have conspired together against elriels.

And now they’ve realied how horrible she was?

Elriels were right about her frm the beginning.

Where were you all when she was in the comments of literally any TikTok, any Instagram post causing shit rather than minding her own business? Where were you all when she stole from an artist previously? Where were you all when she baited elriels then acted the victim? Where were you all when she went out of her way to mess with appreciation weeks/months?

I always say I wish they’d call out their own, so on the one hand I’m glad they’re actually doing it but it once again comes because of some other drama - not because of how she treated us. If this were a moral argument, it should have started long ago. And perhaps we would not have 3 artists left unpaid.

I have news for you!!!
