Azriel Snugglemaster 

EM! I missed you xx 

Our boy is the king of cuddles. Loves to be the small spoon as much as Elain loves being the big spoon. 

Elain just minding her own business most days when the massive Illyrian baby would just drop down on top of her, but keeping a lot of his weight off her so he doesn’t suffocate her. It makes her break out into a fit of giggles each time one of his favourite sounds in the world.

Her delicate fingers running through his hair as his face is cushioned on her chest. A content smile covering his face as he basically purrs like a cat. 

Also massages lots and lots of massages as he’s tensed from the day. Elain’s fingers will drift over to his shoulders and biceps, kneading and digging in gently making Azriel release the most sinful sounds. 

“Don’t stop, love.” Being muttered out with reverence. 

Azriel being a horny baby sometimes and drifting his hands up Elain’s nightgown. From what started off as an innocent snugglefest turns into a frantic disposal of all layers between them.

Elain being Azriel’s solace and hideaway. When things get too much, work is stressful and no one can coax Azriel from his bad days Elain is there with baked goods, the smell of soil and florals and gentle kisses on foreheads. 

The inner circle not knowing that Azriel hasn’t been sleeping in his bed for the last couple of months.

Late night sneaking in and early morning creeping out. Azriel feeling like he’s a young Illyrian warrior again, back in the steppes. 

It’s high risk/high reward game they are playing right now. The threat of Nesta Archeron was enough to make any seasoned warrior fear for their life. Not to mention Feyre Archeron, his High Lady and sister in law. 

He’s never felt lighter though. 

It was close call one morning. He had overslept, something he never does and he heard the footsteps approaching the just in time to hop off the bed and underneath it. Elain sitting up in alarm, a sheet being the only thing covering his modesty.

Cassian’s figure materialised and he froze for a second, taking in the sight in front of him. Azriel was raging, having the intense desire to punch his brother in the face for staring at her longer than necessary.

“Cassian.” Elain exclaimed in surprise, red staining her cheeks.

Cassian was generally just dumbfounded at the scattering over clothes around the room. Then anger took of his own features thinking Elain is being taken advantage.

“If this is Lucien’s clothes I’m going to punch that fucker in the face, Ellie.” He swore, with each word out of his mouth making him more livid.

Elain flopped back down in the bed and pulled the sheet over her head.

“Please just get out.” She squeaked. 

“Ellie, c’mon who is this fucker.” 

Azriel had enough, it was not fair that Elain was catching all the heat for this and that Cassian was making her shy as hell.

He crawled out from under the bed and glared at his brother.

“Get out.” 

Cassian was dumbfounded, generally lost for words, eyes darting between his face and his naked form.

Thank you for coming to my ted talk.

No one: Me: HER GLOTTIS IS OPENED VERY WIDE AT THIS SPECIFIC MOMENT

Sorry all I keep telling you about is my linguistics class 😂 But it’s suuuuper interesting and we make strange noises during class. Today we learned about what diphthongs are!

We also learned about why Americans always sound so “American” when we learn other languages!!! I always wondered what made our accent “American” 😂 Apparently it’s because we tend to pronounce our vowels with an upward glide(is that what it’s called???)!

Ok I grouped these all into EMILY’S FUN WITH LINGUISTICS

My professor: say “mountain”

Me: mounain

My professor: EVERYONE WE HAVE A GLOTTAL STOP

My mouth would lowkey get sore after every French phonology class I had because you practice and put so much emphasis on the movements your lips and tongue and teeth etc are making! I love linguistics because it shows you how complex language is, even though you use it every day without thinking about it! But you’re making all these complex decisions at all times!

I think that diphthongs are also why Americans sound American. tbh vowels in general are what I notice most in any accent because they are harder to control in the mouth. Consonants are a lot more straightforward to produce! 

Here you go! 😘

“Untangling one hand from where it ran through the shorter hairs at the back of his neck, she picked a place—the first she could find—and ran an index finger down his wing … ever so slowly.”

“I haven’t written headcanons in ages, what should I write?”

What kind of makeup (if any) the main TOG squad would wear? ��

ok ok 

Dorian rocks some eyeliner and nail polish. Obviously his father does not Approve but. He’s so good at being pretty.

Lysandra is really good at turning herself into other people, like one of my favorites right now is @/Picturresque Regina and she is sooo good at transforming herself. I can see Lysandra being that adept. 

Aelin doesn’t wear a ton of makeup, but she is serious about her skincare. She has a routine that she makes time for every night. She does love makeup though, and during her assassin days she favored a black smoky eye. Now she’s more refined, but she always makes sure there is some sparkle involved.

Nehemia’s look is 100% kohl-rimmed eyes. She loves a gold highlight. Body makeup? Yes please. 

Elide thinks that a nude lipstick is daring, but she lets Aelin play dress up with her.

Yrene is not super into makeup. She just sweats it off during work anyway. She mostly wears makeup when she goes out for dinner with Chaol, so it’s a real special occasion type thing.

Manon only ever wears red lipstick, and once when someone asked her for the brand and color she just.... smirked.......

Hasar definitely rivals Aelin in terms of who knows the most about new releases and luxury brands.

It would never even occur to Chaol to wear makeup. Every time he sees Dorian made up he asks who the new love interest is.

Hi Em! I hope you are having a good V-day with weird insinuations from The Boy about him wanting to “hang out”

2) what’s your favorite candy? Chocolate stuff? I always like the idea of candy more than the actual candy. I literally have a candy bar with one bite out of it that I bought over two years ago. idk. I should probably throw it away. 

30) do you prefer to charm, or be charmed? Please someone charm me. My charm is more like *awkward grin, weird joke, idk, lacking charm*

34) valentine’s decorations: yay or nay? Meh? I like all the colors separately, but together they are kinda.... ew.

I was lowkey thinking the other day on my walk about how they don’t have tense (is it just the inflection or what, how do they show tense? Is it a separate word? I can’t think of the technical term now). And also did you know that the count/noncount noun distinction is different depending on language? Idk how it works and I don’t have examples but.
