Iām stuck on āwhat new romances will take center stage in ACOTAR 6.ā
Elriel isnāt new, theyāve had āfour books of buildupā. Elucien has had since the mating bond snapped.
But Gwynriel is a SF discovery. Itās very much new. And with the question of POVs, it could very well be Vassa and Jurian, or even Emerie and Mor (if we end up with her pov).
The possibilities are endless!

Predictions Tracker
Bloomsbury have provided questions for the fandom! Who wants to make some predictions?
1. What POV/s will there be in ACOTAR 6?
Azriel, 100%... maybe Nesta. I've seen other rumours about other characters, and they make sense. I would love Gwyn and Emerie to get POVs, but I think we'll have to wait a little longer for that.
2. What new romances will take centre stage in ACOTAR 6?
Gwynriel!!! And I'm hoping for a little bit of forced proximity for Elucien. Maybe a few more flirty glances for Emorie too!
3. What will Nyx be up to in ACOTAR 6?
Probably sleeping, mostly! And pulling Amren's hair whenever she holds him!
4. How will Bryceās visit to Prythian influence ACOTAR 6?
Rhys and Nesta are back to hating each other. I'd say that's going to be a pain for their friends and family. Will it divide the group?
5. How will ACOTAR 6 end?
Is it too much to wish for the bond snapping between Gwyn and Azriel?!
6. What will we learn more about in ACOTAR 6?
Dusk Court, Illyria, maybe Autumn Court and Koschei.
7. What scene are you hoping plays out in ACOTAR 6?
If Azriel and Gwyn can go ahead and have pages and pages of banter while their friends look at them like, "Do these idiots not see what we see?" that would be great!
8. What is your most unhinged theory for ACOTAR 6?
Personally, I tend to steer away from unhinged theories. I also don't think this book will give us much, since it's only part 1 of 4. Maybe the most unhinged is finding out Gwyn is related to the Vanserras.
What other theories do you have?
I dare not dream too big! My expectations are low for this book š
š. š». ššššš šæššššššš š·šæš¶š¶š
What POV/s will there be in ACOTAR 6?
If it was a dual POV this question seems redundant, doesnāt it? All points to a multi POV. Theyāre easing us into it.
What new romanceS will take center stage in ACOTAR 6?
Romances. Plural. My babies are coming home.
How will Bryceās visit to Prythian influence ACOTAR 6?
Start your HOFAS re-read; that storyline is important. I think my prediction of 6 being a book where they discuss all they learned from Bryceās visit isnāt too far off. About Nesta and the 8-pointed star, about Truth Teller, about Rhysand and what all this means to Prythian.
And the cherry on top? This whole thing being Autumn themed? Yeah. Gwynriel and Elucien are coming home.
Teaser hinting at multi-povs, several new romances, and the follow up from Bryce visiting Prythian (and leaving Nesta Gwydion!!!!)

Multi POV hard launch
Also new Romances? (It's shouting gwynriel + elucien)
But I thought Bryce's visit was unimportant for the next book?
What pov/s.......?
frothing at the mouth because my friend suggested a drunk shakespeare play where every single actor is drunk except for horatio and he has to try to keep the play on track while still having his own part to play
everyone shut up, i need to be alone with this person
I can draw her forever
āi love how we as a fandom have just agreed thatāā donāt include me in this. do NOT lump me in with that.

I know this is from Australia but when I first saw the wordsĀ āVictorian manā all I could think of was this:
To be fair imagine you just arrived in 2018 from Victorian England and discovered Take On Me, what are you supposed to do, not blast it loud enough for your family to hear it all the way back in 1876?

Tiger found caged in abandoned home gets second chance at wildlife sanctuary: āHe seems to be so happyā
The estimated 350-pound tiger was transported to the facility, an affiliate of the Humane Society of the United States, on Wednesday afternoon, and is settling in well, Almrud said. There, he will have the chance to roam in enclosures of up to three acres.
Almrud, who estimates him to be about 2 years old, described the moment he first walked onto the grass at the sanctuary as remarkable.
āIt was just amazing to see him walk out on grass and to see him explore and have that freedom of movement,ā she said. āIt was just such a reward and fulfilling to us.ā
Now, he spends his days rolling around the grass in glee, Almrud said.
āHe comes right up to the fence every time a staff member is present,ā she said. āHe seems very amenable to our presence.ā
The tiger is eating well ā a combination of chicken, humanely raised non-processed beef and whole prey complete with organs and bones. It appears that he was being fed chicken, which is what owners of exotic cats often feed them, but chicken alone does not provide the complete nutrition they need to thrive, Almrud said.
In addition, caregivers are tasked with keeping the tiger mentally stimulated by creating āpretend huntingā games and rotating him through different areas so he has access to new smells and environments to explore.
āHe seems to happy and content,ā Almrud said. āOur staff is just falling in love with him.ā
Just an update! Since I got curious and the og post is from 2019.
His name is Loki now! In June he celebrated his 7th birthday at the sanctuary where he lives and thrives. Hereās a few pics of the boy:

The reason you can't be the next J R R Tolkien isn't because you don't have the talent, but because you're not the right kind of unwell. Tolkien wasn't bent for fantasy worldbuilding; he was bent for constructed languages, and got into fantasy worldbuilding in order to provide a material context in which to ground the notional evolution of the languages he invented. If you want to be the next Tolkien, you can't start with the worldbuilding; you've gotta find something extremely specific to fixate on, and develop it in such depth that inventing a world to contain it is genuinely the most logical next step.
#the best route is clearly to get really into a specific kink scenario and invent a world to justify it (via @salix03)
That's not even a joke. Developing a kink scenario so elaborate and so excruciatingly particular that it can only properly be contemplated in the frame of a world created specifically to contain it is genuinely closer to Tolkien's actual creative process than 99% of the stuff that plays at being heir to his legacy.
really losing my patience for any 'feminist' statement to the tune of 'we need feminism because women fill a fundamentally different and necessary role than men and will be better at doing x y or z'. like actually i think we need feminism because it is an unbearable death of the spirit by inches to exist in a world where you are not seen as a fully realized human being because of a single cultural determination, and because a world that enshrines such things creates systems that are fundamentally sick to the core

Torchwood: Kiss Kiss Bang Bang
Okay, so who the hell was that bloke in the hologram? Looked like Jack recognized him. Why didnāt he let us go with him? āCause itās typical Jack, isnāt it? Disappears, he comes back, then he runs away again. Shuts us out. We donāt even know his real name. Or which time he comes from. Exactly. Heās supposed to be our boss, we know nothing about him.
Gifts, Emotion and Logic
There's been a lot of debate as to how Cassian throwing away his solstice gift to Nesta compares to Azriel giving away his solstice gift to Gwyn.
Elriels try to say that both actions are the same, in that the gift doesn't end up in the intended recipient's hand, but that doesn't change the romantic intent behind the giving of the gift, or symbolic weight of the gift. They say that Azriel gave away Elain's gift in the same sort of mindset Cassian threw away Nesta's, an act made in pain and a desire to be rid of the gift which represents thwarted love.
Gwynriels respond that a major difference is that whereas Cassian threw the gift in the Sidra, Azriel gave the gift to another woman. Cassian throwing the gift away meant no other woman could have it, it was Nesta's or no one's. Azriel however is able to transfer the gift to Gwyn, and takes great pleasure in thinking about her receiving it.
There's a certain emphasis on how well suited the gift is for Gwyn. Clotho talks about how Gwyn deserves such a beautiful gift, and Azriel thinks about how Gwyn's eyes will light up as she receives it, an image that creates a "spark" in his chest, which he tucks away, comparing the image of Gwyn receiving the gift to the necklace itself, a "secret thing of lovely beauty".
Cassian's gift for Nesta could only be for Nesta. Azriel's gift for Elain turned out to be remarkably suitable for Gwyn.
Elriels will argue that Cassian throwing the gift away, compared to Azriel giving the gift away, is more about each man's personality, than their feeligns for the giftee. Cassian is hot tempered and impulsive, whereas Azriel is more rational and (seemingly) cool tempered.
However, we see that Azriel rejects the "rational" choice, the choice he makes without emotion, or in cool practicality. He initially intends to return the gift, probably for a refund. That's the cool, methodical response to his gift being rejected. Instead he finds himself going to Clotho and asking the gift to be given to Gwyn, compelled by reasons he can't quite fathom. Giving Gwyn the gift was the emotional choice.
Some Elriel fans also cite Azriel saying to give the necklace to anyone to suggest that Azriel had no particular desire for Gwyn to have the gift, but in doing so they ignore the structuring of the passage. Azriel goes to Clotho, to the library, with the direct intent of giving the necklace to Gwyn. It's only as he and Clotho converse, and Azriel's motivations come under some mild scrutiny, that he almost backtracks and says "give it to anyone" (para). His thought process wasn't "ok well I'll just donate the gift to the priestesses, hey maybe Gwyn would like it". It was "I want to give Gwyn this necklace, my actions are being noted, ok I'll say just give it to anyone".
Far from indicating a lack of care on Azriel's part, it actually suggests a degree of vulnerability, something about Azriel giving Gwyn the necklace, and being seen to give Gwyn the necklace, makes him feel vulnerable and defensive.
There is also Cassian and Azriel's reactions to how they both dispose of their respective gifts. Cassian regrets throwing his gift away the minute he has done it. He wishes still for Nesta to have it, and he regrets his rash action in casting it into the river.
Azriel doesn't regret giving the gift to Gwyn. The thought of Gwyn receiving the gift pleases him, not only does he dwell on the thought of Gwyn receiving the gift with pleasure, it also gives him a sense of peace. It's something he dwells on as he drifts off to sleep, thinking about her smile and her eyes lighting up.
Cassian throws away Nesta's gift and regrets it. Azriel gives away Elain's gift and is pleased with it.
