Elriel Month: Endless Possibilities

"Azriel still cradling Elain to his chest. He dripped blood behind him the entire time-a trickle compared to the torrent that should be leaking out. Contained only by the patches of power he'd slapped on it. Help-he needed a healer immediately. .. Nesta let out a sob at the sight of Elain, still in Ariel's arms. ..Rhys lunged for Azriel, taking Elain from him and gently setting my sister down. Azriel rasped, swaying on his feet, "We need Helion to get these chains off her." Yet Elain didn't seem to notice them as she rose up on her toes and kissed the shadowsinger's cheek."

🌸🦇🌸🦇

There is so much to love about this scene: Azriel cradling Elain to himself, Elain making no move to leave his arms, Ariel's only concern being Elain despite his own wounds, the two of them having to be physically separated by Rhys, and then Elain giving Azriel the one and only kiss he has received in the series. This whole scene had such romantic undertones and further cemented the relationship that has been developing between Elain and Azriel.

🌸🦇🌸🦇

It was an absolute dream to work with the incrediblv talented @aurithemoon on this piece! She was so thoughtful and precise with every detail and expression on every single panel. She depicted this scene brilliantly and exactly how we envisioned!

You know what makes me laugh is the fact that Addie thinks she'll get Luc to get tired of her so he can be free of him ?

Beyond the fact that everything she knows in the formulation of a pact, she gets it from Luc, so that he himself knows very well the importance of the words used and their formulation, it would surprise me that he was fooled. But beyond that... The idea of ​​saying that she will be Luc's for as long as he wants her by his side... Well it's the same thing as their first pact, when Addie said she would give her soul when she no longer wanted it. Luc tried to make her crazy so that she would give in. But did she give in ? No. Obviously. Luc who surely understood the meaning of Addie's words. Will he give in, even though she tries to drive him crazy ? No. Obviously. Especially since the story highlighted the fact that they looked alike. What is true. Not only do they look similar, but they complement each other. It's night. She is the stars.

Addie makes me laugh by being so sure of herself at the end. She thinks she is better than Luc, but the reality is that she is the same as he was at the beginning of the story when they made the first pact. Once again, she highlights Luke's arrogance. But isn't she herself arrogant to think she can fool a god so easily ?

She is no longer human. And Luc is not human either. She can't fool him like he once did to her.

The only reason he probably doesn't notice the wording of the pact is because he knows perfectly well that he will never stop wanting her by his side. Addie was wrong again. She sees what Luc feels for her as desire. But as Luc himself said, he needs her. Just like she needs him. Even when she was with Henry, she was in her thoughts and missed Luc.

Addie is made of contradictions. She keeps repeating that Luc can't love her, because he has no heart, yet in the end she says she will break his heart.

The truth is that they will simply resume their cat and mouse games. And I hope that one day they will end up balancing like the night and the stars that they are. As they should be intended to do. Or maybe they will always have this chaotic relationship. But what is certain... is that they will always stay together.

It really makes me laugh when I see people taking Addie's words at face value at the end of the story.

Especially since if you remove Addie's internal dialogue and we just visualize her, she is simply settling in quietly with Luc.

These were my thoughts. You are free to give me yours.

“I will marry you, Elide Lochan. And proudly call myself Lord Lorcan Lochan, even when the whole kingdom laughs to hear it.” He kissed her, gently and lovingly. “And when we are wed,” he whispered, “I will bind my life to yours. So we will never know a day apart. Never be alone, ever again.”

For the first prompt of @elriel-month I wanted to depict the tenderness Elain displays towards Azriel’s biggest insecurity; and the wildly talented @lamonyo captured this so beautifully and brilliantly!!

It’s elriel month!!

And that means I’m listening to TTPD on repeat!

Because Taylor just gets it

It’s like it was written for them!

Here’s to hoping we get Elriel book confirmation and synopsis soon!

[mardereads19]

"Azriel, graceful as any courtier, offered her an arm. I couldn’t tell if she was looking at his blue Siphon or at his scarred skin beneath as she breathed, ‘Beautiful.’"

For @elriel-month 1#New beginnings

[mardereads19]

The WHOLE album is so Elain core!!

The unfulfilled marriage imagery in MANY songs about her past love (Joe/Graysen), the new-beau love songs (Travis/Azriel), the song about romantic and sexual desires for a man she can’t have or she’ll be crucified (“They’re going to crucify me anyways…Am I allowed to cry?”)!!!

The Tortured Poets Department will be on Sarah’s playlist for inspiration for ACOTAR 6

IS THIS ANOTHER HINT FOR ELAIN?!?! ELRIEL? AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

[Verse 1]

Drownin' in the Blue Nile

He sent me "Downtown Lights"

I hadn't heard it in a while

My boredom's bone-deep

This cage was once just fine

Am I allowed to cry?

I dream of crackin' locks

Throwin' my life to the wolves or the ocean rocks

Crashin' into him tonight, he's a paradox

I'm seeing visions

Am I bad or mad or wise?

[Chorus]

What if he's written "Mine" on my upper thigh only in my mind?

I'm slippin', fallin' back into the hedge maze

Oh, what a way to die

I keep recalling things we never did

Messy top lip kiss, how I long for our trips

Without ever touchin' his skin

How can I be guilty as sin?

[Verse 2]

I keep these longings locked

In lowеrcase inside a vault

Someonе told me, "There's no such thing as bad thoughts

Only your actions talk"

These fatal fantasies

Giving way to labored breath takin' all of me

We've already done it in my head, if it's make-believe

Why does it feel like a vow we'll both uphold somehow?

[Chorus]

What if he's written "Mine" on my upper thigh only in my mind?

I'm slippin', fallin' back into the hedge maze

Oh, what a way to die

My bed sheets are ablaze

I've screamed his name

Buildin' up like waves crashin' over my grave

Without ever touchin' his skin

How can I be guilty as sin?

[Bridge]

What if I roll the stone away?

They're gonna crucify me anyway

What if the way you hold me is actually what's holy?

If long-suffering propriety is what they want from me

They don't know how you've haunted me so stunningly

I choose you and me religiously

[Chorus]

What if he's written "Mine" on my upper thigh only in my mind?

I'm slippin', fallin' back into the hedge maze

Oh, what a way to die

I keep recalling things we never did

Messy top lip kiss, how I long for our trips

Without ever touchin' his skin

How can I be guilty as sin?

[Outro]

He sent me "Downtown Lights"

I hadn't heard it in a while

Am I allowed to cry?

[mardereads19]

It's really as simple as murder boi staying up till 3am to listen to gentle girl talk about something he gives 0 fucks about.

That's the nonsensical shit you do when hopelessly falling for someone who just naturally feels like home.

They are literally my Roman Empire

I’m sorry this is one of my Roman empires.

Can you imagine, sweet Elain, clutching her fork like a weapon when the massive Illyrian soldier Cassian sits beside her??

And Az noticing and smirking to himself like aw that’s cute 🫠🥺

Then Cassian’s glare as AZRIEL is the one to respond

And then Mr. Azriel Allen Poe

Like Elain isn’t stupid. She knows they can fly, like, they have wings duh. But it was to keep the conversation going. To learn more about him.

Notice how he isn’t quick to end the convo and turn to something else?

My Roman Empire 😭

I am 63% of the way through Part 1 of ACOSF on the graphic audio (it's 32% in the full ebook). I just got past the scene where Nesta snaps at Elain and says something along the lines of "You're finally becoming interesting." I don't know if I just don't remember this being mentioned before or if it has genuinely been glossed over in the fandom but... Elain offered to find the dread trove? She just came in and said she'd do it? There was no hesitation from her.

I don't recall hearing about this and I feel like this alone is so telling of her character and her future that surely someone would have pointed it out already. I mostly see people posting about her response to Nesta, calling her sister out, but not about the fact that she said she'd look for the dread trove. Actually, it seems like Elain was determined to track it down before Nesta even stepped into the meeting, based on Feyre's response.

Elain has grown so much since being made. How do people find her boring? She wants to be an active part of the Night Court and the world around her. Better yet, she is not backing down from Nesta's wrath, she is holding her ground. She is not weak just because she is soft. Her willingness to fight, in her own way, tells me of her strength, and of the potential for her to be a main character.

I am so excited for her book, I want to tear my skin off.
