Friendly reminder that it was Cassian who offered to go get Elain from Hybern first. Not Azriel.

Friendly reminder that because Cassian was so injured he couldn’t go, Azriel stepped forward.

Friendly reminder that Cassian offered Elain a knife first.

Friendly reminder that Azriel didn’t offer Truth Teller to Elain until Cassian had already offered one of his.

Friendly reminder that Elain didn’t want to take the knife until Feyre told her to take it.

Friendly reminder that Elain gave the knife back “without a second glance”

Friendly reminder that it was Lucien who said Elain needed to get out of the house (of wind) and take her to a garden

Friendly reminder that Azriel is living at the House of Wind to avoid seeing Elain.

Being a Nesta stan and Rhysand stan is very hard

[nightcourtreader]

Emerie and Gwyn's win in the Blood Rite literally created history and was such a defining moment. There is no way either of their stories are done and over with as both of them will have to deal with the repercussions of that moment. Which can only mean Gwyn and Emerie POVs are coming.

I can't wait for more Valkyrie moments that will come from that to since we all know Emerie, Gwyn, and Nesta are a trio that cannot be broken.

Little reminder because some people are forgetting: Az and/or the twins training Elain how to spy is not canon. That is fanon based on a single sentence Nesta said that is easily debunked from the fact that 1. Az says himself that he had been avoiding Elain and 2. they don't have a single canon interaction after the Solstice.

But we do know that he has been training someone in private on dagger handling. Who, you ask? Gwyn.

“SJM only writes female MC’s”

Idk who started this narrative but I swear they have a lot to answer for😒

Does SJM write mainly female MC’s? Yes.

Does that mean that she’ll never write male MC’s? Absolutely not.

Unless you’re part of the people that skipped Tower of Dawn,you’d know this. Apart from TOD she writes male POV’s all the fricking time.

And in her own words….

She admits that she loves writing female protagonists. That doesn’t mean that she ONLY writes female protagonists. And as we’ve seen with Chaol when the story calls for it,she will write a male protagonist.

In conclusion,please stop spreading this insidious rumor.

[nightcourtreader]

Too many people in this fandom argue how one character is morally superior than the other and who deserves this and that and I’m pretty sure SJM doesn’t care 🥴

[nightcourtreader]

You ever think about the fact that all the Feysand chapters in ACOSF are deleted chapters, because initially SJM wanted to include a couple of Feysand POVs, so the Feysand bonus chapter was already deleted written material.

But Azriel's chapter was written from scratch even though the original draft of ACOSF never had his POV—so among all the characters she could've written about, she chose Azriel.

[nightcourtreader]

And at the end of the day, Azriel felt a spark in his chest for Gwyn and pictured the image of her eyes lighting up and her smile and he buried it down in his chest where it glowed quietly.

Gwynriel today. Gwynriel tomorrow. Gwynriel forever.

I'll see yall at the Gwynriel release party.

[nightcourtreader]

Let’s think about this logically for a minute…

SJM knowing Chaol’s book would be next…she gives him a bonus chapter before Tower of Dawn. The same thing with Nesta in Wings & Embers.

After ACOSF,she gives Azriel a bonus chapter. And then he gets another in another completely different series. The fact that she didn’t give Rhys and Feyre a bonus chapter in HOFAS (and we all know Rhys is her favorite character) the fact that she didn’t give him and Feyre a bonus chapter means for some reason,she wants us paying attention to Azriel right now.

You might argue “Well Bryce and Nesta are also in the chapter”

Bryce and Nesta have books and are mated.

She’s giving Azriel quite some attention…

If Elain’s book was next why has she been relegated to the background once again. Thinking about it from the marketing perspective also…if a characters book is next,I’m sure they’d want her to be popping up in the important plot points so readers get more excited about her storyline. That hasn’t happened for Elain.

When SJM was asked if Elain would appear in the next ACOTAR she said “We’d see Elain in some form”

That’s not how you describe the supposed protagonist of your next book.

Compare that response to when Steph asked her about Azriel’s book…

In case you are wondering about the facts we have as of rn about the next acotar books:

•They follow (a different) 1 romantic pairing each, dual povs. This will not change as she is contractually obligated to do this. She is signed for trad romance so imo this likely means no poly.

•It has not been confirmed whose book is next. There is speculation but there is nothing stated by Bloomsbury or SJM herself. (Time magazine is not going to tell you bc they don’t know. SJM and BB did not tell them).

•There has been 2 couples SJM has spoken openly of that have (nessian) and could likely (Elucien) take place in the spin offs.

•Elain is getting a book we do not know when or with who. (Lots of misinformation being spread about her book being next. This has not been stated or confirmed by Bb or SJM).

•We have 2 novels and 1 novella left in the ACOTAR series that we know of rn. It has not been stated or confirmed by BB or SJM what order the installments will proceed in.

•She has said she is excited to explore azriels character.

•And there’s probably some I’m forgetting but that’s the run down. Since I keep seeing misinformation spread lol.

Everything I have said can be backed by proof from SJM/BB themselves.

Gwyn whispered, “I am the rock against which the surf crashes.” Nesta straightened at the words, as if they were a prayer and a summons. Gwyn lifted the blade. “Nothing can break me.” …

Emerie said, “Nothing can break us.”

The world seemed to pause at the words. As if it had been following one path and now branched off in another direction. In a hundred years, a thousand, this moment would still be etched in his mind. That he would tell his children, his grandchildren. Right then and there. That was when it all changed.” …

Nesta’s voice was thick as she declared, “Valkyrie.”

I am truly terrified for SJM to announce ACOTAR 5. At this point even if the couple is confirmed in the announcement the ship war will just get worse. Hell, even when the book is released and we’ve all read it people will still be spinning BS.

I mean some people are still out here claiming that Quinlar and Nessian aren’t mates. 😫

There will never be peace in the fandom regardless if we get confirmation, just further chaos.

RIP to Bloomsbury’s DMs…

That book better be damn good after all we’ve been through!!

Stay strong fellow Gwynriels 🫡

Random Elucien thought of the day:

Lucien’s formal-ish attire does not “fit in” with the fashions or the attitude of the Night Court. He showed up overdressed for dinner but stood out in regard to everyone else.

Elain doesn’t look good in Night Court black and it saps the life from her. She won’t wear Illyrian leathers. She doesn’t FIT there.

Carry on with your day.
