Idk how many people on Tumblr already know this or not (including those of you who follow me) but if you get an ask from someone claiming to be from Gaza and asking you for financial aid due to the Israel-Palestine conflict, DON’T fall for it. It’s a scam.

They are likely not even from Gaza and they’re using a humanitarian crisis to manipulate well-intentioned and good-hearted people and con them to get money out of those who are gullible enough to fall for their BS. Real Gazans can’t actually do this because they’re far too busy trying to survive the war going on in their homeland. Which is why I say the ebeggers on Tumblr claiming to be from Gaza are likely not even from that part of the world. So if you give them money, real Gazans will almost certainly never see a penny of it and the thieves will just use it to fill their pockets. And there’s a good chance they’re not even real people because there’s a lot of bots on this website.

If you get one ebegging in your inbox, don’t even bother reading a single word they say. Just instablock and report them immediately.

He needed to know what the skin of her neck tasted like. What those perfect lips tasted like. Her breasts. Her sex. He needed her coming on his tongue --

Unfriendly reminder that the “pliable bones” theory is still disgusting and misogynistic no matter how many times you repeat and excuse it.

Gwyn and Elain deserve better and don’t exist to be broodmares for men. 😊

And SJM, the writer that gave us Bryces whole hofas speech, would never in a million years write a couple not being together because a woman cannot have a mans baby, shes more likely to write a couple being together IN SPITE of that fact.

This whole "Azriel didn't react when Elain was thrown in the cauldron" is so funny to me.

I knew nothing about Elriel when I started reading ACOTAR. But let me tell you, the moment Azriel was shot at Hybern I knew something was up.

Why was Azriel of all people shot with the arrow? It makes no sense. He wasn't that integral to the plot at that point. A side character at best. If the goal was to get Feyre back with Tamlin, then she should have been shot. Or I don't know, the most powerful high lord ever who was the biggest threat to their scheme should have been shot.

Hell, even shooting Mor makes more logical sense than Azriel. At least she is the highest ranking member of the IC there. Someone all the others care for and at that point was the more important character to Feyre and Rhys.

Sure, it could have been because Azriel was a shadowsinger, but that's never stated or even loosely implied. It's never explained why Azriel was shot other than to control the others. Which again no offense to Az, but there were other characters there that we as readers were more attached to.

Mark my words, there is a reason it was Azriel who was shot at that moment and why he wasn't able to ✨️react✨️ to Elain being thrown in the Cauldron. The whole scene is suspicious, especially when you consider that Lucien announces he is Elain's mate. Then there is the fact that we know the cauldron is corrupted. And that SJM set up a love triangle between Elain, Az, and Lucien. It all leads up to that scene having more significance than we thought at the time, and antis drawing attention to it only reinforces this in my mind.

So there are really people out here believing Azriel won’t be ravishing Elain?

They really think he won’t be tasting the skin of her neck? Her perfect lips? Her breasts?

They think Elain won’t be coming on Azriel’s tongue?

They truly think Azriel won’t see how Elain’s beautiful face appears as he enters her? Won’t hear what sounds she makes?

They think he won’t be putting his teeth on Elain’s lower lip??

They actually believe Azriel won’t be begging on his knees for a chance to taste Elain??

On top of that, they think he will be doing those things to ANOTHER WOMAN???

Sorrows and prayers to them 🫶🏼

With this comes attached the wishful thinking that Elain shouldn't be in a relationship at all. She should just remain single....in a romantic fantasy genre book!

Like, just say you hate these characters and want them out of the story and or want them to specifically lust after the ones you prefer. Then it won't be a problem.

It's crazy how they twist themselves into pretzels to justify themselves. Absolutely bonkers.

Honestly whoever came up with the “it’s just lust” anti theory is absolutely diabolical. They single handily convinced a section of fans reading a fantasy romance to completely warp a kind male character, and turn him into a broken, lust filled airhead, just because they didn’t like who his “lustful” thoughts were about.

Like holy shit. Ignoring how completely baseless that idea is - how can you say you’re here for the romance and then twist the male love interest into this wildly unappealing character?

“Azriel only had explicit thoughts about Elain!”

Yeah girl, that’s how romance novels work! Are you new here?

I guess when they couldn’t gaslight everyone else they decided to just start gaslighting each other. How else do you explain “interpreting” mutual attraction, interest and affection into “just lust”. The confirmation bias is astounding.

[fantaxzia]

Ikr!

Azriel and Elain are so Hades and Persephone coded istg

What fanfic is anon reading? Because that certainly didn't happen in canon. 😂😂😂

The only one to make Azriel laugh was Elain. Like not just chuckles or snorts, a full blown, head leaning back laugh.

Anon is taking a big L with these claims. It just makes them look stupid.

Azriel laughs way more around Gwyn than he does around Elain. In one single bonus chapter with Gwyn, he's snorting, chuckling, laughing, and smiling. His interaction with her was much more lighthearted and playful. He doesn't feel insecure around her. Something restless settles in him when he's around her. And not only does he feel calmer but so do his shadows. He finds her irreverence charming and is amused by her. He actually admires her and is impressed by her growth. The ONLY person that has made something spark in his chest is Gwyn not Elain. He may lust for Elain now "he hadn't gotten that far with his planning certainly not beyond the fantasies he pleasured himself to" but that doesn't mean he won't develop feelings for Gwyn. Especially since he followed rhys command and has been staying away from Elain after the bonus.

if you guys are going to send me useless things to read, then you have to pay my hourly bill rate - and with the amount of yapping that's going on here, I don't think you can afford it 😟😟

Azriel: no one can hurt me if i’m cold and detached and not emotionally invested in anyone

Elain: hi :)

Azriel: *sweating* shit

[fantaxzia]

Rhys overreacts so Azriel uses it as an excuse to gossip during billable work hours ☕️

(There is a good chance of typos or grammatical errors. But I included Princess Glowworm as a preemptive apology! 🩵)

[fantaxzia]

Azriel: “I’m getting her back”

Nesta: “Then you will die”

Azriel only repeated, rage glazing that stare, “I’m getting her back”

Azriel in ACOSF: “I know. I helped rescue Elain, after all”

Cassian: “Az hadn’t so much as hesitated before going into the heart of Hybern’s war-camp”

It wasn’t his job to rescue Elain. His job was to stay and fight Hybern. He risked his life to save her because he wanted to, not because he had to. At that point, her safety was more important to him than his life.

Even Feyre hesitated before deciding to go with him 🤷‍♀️

[fantaxzia]

Everyone: Elain’s broken.

Azriel, an intellectual: Elain is a seer.

PSA cause I see people getting confused on smelling the bond.

Amren could smell the Feysand bond cause she's from another world and technically not a real fae. (After Cauldron who knows but the smelling scene was before the Cauldron.)

The rest of the IC were told that Feyre was Rhysand's mate but they couldn't smell it.

So the fact that Azriel can smell the Elucien bond when he is not supposed to be able to and that no one else can is in fact...strange and means something.

The mating bond can only be smelled naturally by other fae AFTER it's been accepted.

Maybe it's the wait for the next book or the peculiarities of this fandom, but it's baffling how people analyze these books and then say things like 'SJM changed her mind' and 'we don't have this person's POV!' and 'she is an unreliable narrator' and 'SJM changed the ships' and....well, it's endless.

As if...SJM is not in control of these books????

But what do you mean 'unreliable narrator' or 'we haven't had his / her POV'???

That's what the author herself wanted you to read. There is a reason for the 1st person narrative. That's ALL you are going to get. That's the POV that SJM chose for all of us and we aren't going to get everyone's POVs just because someone doesn't like Feyre, or whoever. We aren't getting deep thoughts by Tamlin. We aren't getting Lucein's musings. We haven't even gotten Rhysand's POV beyond the flashbacks and some of it in ACOFAS.

Everything that SJM wants us to know is IN THE BOOKS.

We do not need a PhD in Slavic fairy tales. Neither do we need a deep dive into Norse mythology. We don't need to have gone to Harvard or Oxford to understand the intricate complexities of SJM's books.

Everything that she wants us to know--all the hints and all the backgrounds are IN the books. And whatever isn't, means she hasn't written it yet, chose not to include it, or it's just OUR imagination at work. Yes, she puts Easter eggs into the narrative, but no one needs to re-read the books 15 times to catch them. The 2nd re-read should really give you all the information.

Furthermore, there is no 'interpretation'. This is the info, and we are meant to understand this info as it's presented--as in, no, Elain was not overcome with an orgasmic need for Lucien, and then sought out.......Azriel. She didn't care, knowing that her mate was sleeping upstairs. That's the text. That's what SJM wanted us to gather from the bonus. Elain doesn't care about Lucien. She cares about Azriel. It's not open for interpretation.

A bonus is an addition to the main material--it expands on the general narrative. The general narrative, for example, never implied that there is a romantic entanglement between Azriel and Gwyn. Therefore, SJM will not show something as important and detrimental as a mate bond snapping between two random characters in a BONUS!

Elain, who is barely present in Nesta's book, would not, for example, break her bond or discuss her bond with Lucien in Nesta's book. It's not because she is dragging her feet or she is in love with Lucien. It's because just like Nesta didn't consummate her relationship with Cassian in Feyre's books, Elain won't make the most important decisions of the story in Nesta's book.

I feel like everyone's lives would be so much easier if they just recognized the intent of what SJM was writing. Theories are fun and often interesting to read. But they should be based on some semblance of reality.
