“this anime we’ve been watching together is very amusing, light. who’s your favorite character?”

“hm. i’m not sure.”

“damn it. he’s using our shared interest in this funny anime about a frog failing to take over the world to see if i’m kira. i have to be careful. i could always say i like keroro, which would be a safe bet, since he’s the main character. however-”

“keroro’s entire goal is to end the world and enslave the human race. despite his silly antics he’s a very powerful character with a temper and is sneaky enough to fly under the radar, just like kira.”

“who would be a safe bet? i can’t say kururu, his entire thing is being sociopathic. i could try to throw him off by saying tamama, but light yagami would never pick such a pathetic suck up as his favorite character. maybe i should just say a human character. yeah, in fact, i know exactly who to say.”

“i like koyuki. she’s a very admirable character.”

“i see. her devotion to her friends and sweet personality are nice to see in a character. i personally like dororo.”

“what game are you playing at, L? we both know that dororo is a seeker of peace and justice, but that he and koyuki’s allyship has the constant of butting heads. are you trying to say that your and my allyship is temporary, that you’re willing to throw me to the wolves if i prove to be a serious threat? that’s what dororo would do.”

“i like angol mois! she’s cute!”

“misa, what are you doing?! angol mois’ entire existence is for the purpose of ending the world! she’s far more powerful than meets the eye, and while bubbly she seeks out the universe’s destruction! are you trying to reveal yourself as kira? you’re hopeless at this.”

“i like giroro’s guns”

Practising Goncharov Theme by @caramiaaddio on violin bc I thought it would add an extra layer of haunting…ness (is that a word?)

Here’s the excerpt I’m playing in the video:

Despite it being in a fuck off key for violin it is a really beautiful piece and it’s absolutely worth the trouble of practising in second position (world’s most hated position) and I’m HOPING 🤞 I can record and (maybe) post a full cover of it someday

day 11

welcome to our first guest on the blog @milkypiggybeans!!

[quietmonologues]

So. I hate shipping discourse and I try to keep it off my blog nowadays. I also don't consider myself a part of the fandom. But, I find discussions about this series particularly engaging and interesting, and Elucien do have me in a bit of a chokehold these days so I feel the need to get this off my chest and put this out into the world.

A common question I see is "why do people ship Elucien? They don't even like each other". And to that, I say this:

What about it? This is why shipping discourse in this fandom (and in general) is so ridiculous, because why is there confusion as to why people ship Elain and Lucien together? SJM literally wrote them as a potential pairing, that's why she made them mates. Pairing = shipping. It's not rocket science.

Two characters not liking each other is never gonna be a deterrent for them becoming canon or for people liking them as a ship. That's why enemies to lovers is such a popular trope. However way you define enemies (on opposite sides of a war like Zuko and Katara, or thinking ill of one another based on misunderstandings and assumptions like Darcy and Elizabeth), when it's done well, the story of two characters changing their opinion about each other, getting to know each other on a deeper level, and growing to love each other after their initial discomfort/hatred/loathing/indifference is a compelling story. It's about the journey, the development, and overcoming all the hurdles and bumps that are in their way.

Another reason for why the "they dislike each other" argument is so weak is because you literally have two other canon couples in this same series who had very rough starts. No matter how you feel about these two pairings, it's blatantly clear that Rhys and Cassian did put Feyre and Nesta in uncomfortable situations and have hurt them (physically/emotionally). But clearly, that was not a deterrent for them getting together in the end. So why the heck are Lucien and Elain different? Why is "Elain is so uncomfortable around Lucien" a continuous argument? It's so hypocritical given the fact that Lucien is the only guy that isn't forcing himself upon his mate.

Also, I'm sorry but some people (me...I'm some people) are tired of the "dark, battle-born, winged-warrior brother" and "previously human, traumatized archeron sister" pairing. Elain and Lucien are both associated with nature, they're both social and like interacting with people, they both experienced a deep love previously, they both abhor violence, they are both overlooked by others yet have the ability to see what others can't. They are a compatible pairing to me because they share many characteristics that are harmonious and complementary. They are the anti-thesis of Night Court aesthetics and thought, and if they ever have a book together then I can only hope it's the best one in the series.

And yes, the "Elain needs sunshine" and "Lucien is the heir to the Day Court" connection is important, my goodness. That's what symbolism is!

Sometimes it's that simple.

Okay, that's enough shipping discourse from me.
