I’m not saying Rhysand from ACOTAR is definitely a long lost Herondale, I’m just saying we have to look at the facts presented:

- incredibly tall and attractive

- distinctive eyes, hair, and tattoos

- Cursed? Maybe??

- well read

- *ahem* appreciates art and artists

- willing to do anything for his friends and loved ones including pretending to be an asshole

- complicated family relationships

- warrior/comes from a warrior culture

- completely 110% in love with his wife even before actually meeting her for real

And for the two final points:

- chiseled, but angsty

- not one person (including him) seems to indicate they know his last name.

I’m just saying he could rock up to the family meeting and no one would question it.
