oop— THAT’S A WRAP

Aedion Ashryver is an absolute emotional and moral powerhouse of the entire series.

The guy:

is loyal to the point of pain – literally and emotionally. In "QoS" when he knew he would be sentenced to death but still he wanted to die on his own terms and damn it, he almost succeeded! His determination to die with dignity, on his own terms, without mercy, without self-pity, without begging – THAT'S CHARACTER. He knew he had broken the rules of Adarlan. And seriously – he was one step away from leaving with such a bang that only Aelin could stop him at the last moment and change the course of history. And Aelin entered this scene. He had already accepted his fate. He wanted to die like a hero, but he is still alive and our beloved S J Maas allows him to be ridden even more. Now he has to live, fight, love, fail, torment himself… and grow as a human being. Because life is a harder road than death.

Carries tons of trauma with pride and jokes on his lips. 14 years old taking part in a historic battle? Put on his CV. Orphanhood and loss of family? No problem. Despite this, he still listened to others and acted for his beloved cousin even though he didn't know if she was alive at all, he was willing to die for her even before he knew she was alive,

created an internal, silent resistance movement before it was fashionable: LOSS

didn't have time to enjoy time his beloved cousin who definitly will makes his hair turn gray

lost his Blood Oath, Aelin,unknowingly, deprived him of the only dream he had for himself and despite everything he was proud to fight alongside Rowan, even though Aedion himself is a fucking legend

turns out that his mixed heritage is not just a part of his blood but actually half of it! And that from a warrior he's a fan of

met his Old Man, one of the last people connected to him by blood but hated him for leaving his Mother

unconscious humiliation by his beloved Aelin at the end of "EoS" That wasn't a plan. It was a continuation of his trauma - dressed up as "reason". And that with a woman he started to feel something for. Because let's be clear: he didn't want to be the "solution". He wanted to be loved. And what did he get? Duty. Again.

He deserves his own whole trilogy. He wanted to be loved unconditionally and once again he became a sword.

I have a theory:

What if Ansel was working with Berick all along and she’s the one who dumped Celaena out WITH the letter of approval she STOLE from the master so Berick can send his men to attack the fortress without Celaena being in the way?

If this is right then it’s insaneeeeeee!

like just imagine them laying down next to each other and Joe on his side, one hand propping up his head and the other one just tracing nicky's profile, his cheekbone, his eyebrow, down along his nose to the mouth, thumb over the cupid's bow

and Joe's expression is so focused, lips slightly parted and dark eyes that follow the movement of his own fingers whilst his brain is taking everything in, every single curve, every single dip, every single line, so that he can carry them over to the paper later on

and still, not feeling completely like he's got it just yet
