#ELAIN ARCHERON

[nikachansstuff]

Mandatory reblog.

Beyond the windows, darkness had indeed fallen. The longest night of the year. I found Elain studying it, beautiful in her amethyst-colored gown. I made to move toward her, but someone beat me to it.

The shadowsinger was clad in a black jacket and pants similar to Rhysand’s—the fabric immaculately tailored and built to fit his wings. He still wore his Siphons atop either hand, and shadows trailed his footsteps, curling like swirled embers, but there was little sign of the warrior otherwise. Especially as he gently said to my sister, “Happy Solstice.���

Elain turned from the snow falling in the darkness beyond and smiled slightly. “I’ve never participated in one of these.”

My beautiful friend, Caroline, gifted me this wonderful commission of Azriel and Elain in a loving embrace amongst the breathtaking flower fields. I hope we see happy moments like this in their future and I’m so speechless at how incredible this piece is. Thank you Caroline and Lumachaii for this awe-inspiring piece! 💗

What if … So, Lucien has subbed in for Tamlin before for Calanmai. Lucien is now currently stationed back in the Spring Court. The theory and overwhelming foreshadowing is placing Elain within the Spring Court. Tamlin is still in his feeling-sorry-for-myself phase; what if Lucien once again steps in for Calanmai in his place? What if the magic of the land draws Elain to that cave?

Calanmai mixed with the chaff of the mating bond—the tension is going to be delicious. A splash of Elain doing everything within her power to ignore this infuriatingly handsome male and his ridiculous flirting, only to feel an unexplainable draw to him, despite Lucien warning her to stay in the manor.

When has Elain ever managed to stay put?

[lovemyromance]

No I'm sorry but Lucien is a grown man. Tamlin was doing something wrong working with Ianthe & Hybern in ACOMAF - and Lucien knew that it was wrong, but he continued to help Tamlin.

He could've warned Feyre - like "hey btw ur ex is working with the enemy" but no.

He could've ditched Tamlin's ass the second the man tried to lock Feyre up.

He could've seen the way Feyre was withering away and done more than just offer to "speak to him" about it.

He could've left Tamlin's side at literally any point.

It doesn't matter if their dynamic has never been what Rhys has with Ariel & Cassian. In fact, if it's never been that way - then all the more reason NOT to stay loyal to someone you know is wrong.

Im telling you right now - if Rhys had ever tried to harm Feyre - Nobody in the IC would've stood for that, HL or not.

I'm tired of people making excuses for this man. He might not have been the sole reason Nesta & Elain turned fae - but his actions were indirectly what led to that.

If he and Tamlin had never gotten involved with Hybern - Nesta & Elain would still be human.

He could've done a million different things - but he chose to stay with Tamlin even after being a witness to everything.

I'm tired of seeing all this bullshit like omg Lucien is so powerful he's the heir to the day court and super strong and hot - WHEN THE MAN HAS ONLY EVER BEEN A LACKEY.

Enoughhhh.

For people to say "oh he deserves his mate" is CRAZY.

Because wtf has he ever done to earn her???

[darkest-fantasy]

Elriel has been going on since 2016? Oh yeah? Go check out the AO3 ACOTAR fanfictions in 2016-2017. There is maybe not one elriel fanfic in 2016 and maybe a few in 2017

But you know what there is a lot of? Mor and Azriel fan fictions( no fr one of the first explicit ACOTAR fanfics was about mor and az)

Mor and Azriel were what elriel is now… and you see how fast everything switched up.

But there was always ALWAYS an abundance of Elucien fanfics in 2016 and going forward. They have always been the IT couple.

Elucien is the ship that has been going on since 2016… NOT elriel

[acourtofthought]

Sort of Anti Az post in regards to Elain so I apologize ahead to my Pro Az people's!

Lucien has been struggling with his unfulfilled bond for nearly two years yet remains calm, collected and respectful to everyone in the IC.

Az got pissed over not having a bond with an Archeron from one Solstice to the next so he threw a big 'ole temper tantrum and acted like a hothead around Rhys.

Only one is acting worthy when it comes to his behavior about Elain.

2024 Was a Great Year for Elriels

The end of the year is approaching, and unfortunately, there's no announcement yet, but Elriels definitely have plenty to be grateful for this year.

On the contrary... (Quick rant...I'm allowed one a year)

The other side has enjoyed complaining and discrediting articles and large companies commenting on Elriel...

Why?

I suppose it's because their side of the fandom has nothing new to talk about with their ships?

All they have are:

Commissioned art pieces paid for by themselves (great for the artists and Elriels do commissioned pieces to so... touche)

Screen Rant articles. This website is a way for free lance writers to make some money. Honestly, if you want to dive into them, go ahead, but these article centralize on the writers' opinions and click bait/SEO. And no, I'm not going to hunt down these writers' information to discredit. People are allowed to have their opinions and make money however way they want. Just at least take a moment to look at the titles for Screen Rant articles vs. TIME, TODAY, and E! News. You'll see a difference going forward in this post.

Additonal unnecsssary "official" weeks/ "spontaneous" days for ships and characters due to the belief that Elriel fans ruin everything

Anyways, let's dive into this year's pro Elriel content ❤️

January 30th, 2024

TIME- Time magazine is a widely cited resource and maintains high standards of journalism. In this particular article, only Elain and Azriel are mentioned as a possibility for the next ACOTAR book.

January 30th, 2024

TODAY Show- A sit-down interview with SJM. (This particular part of the interview I condensed together on Canva because of the limited pictures we can include on Tumblr) Below, Sarah talks about fate, the idea of exploring rejecting mates, and free will. (Lucien and Elain?) She also discusses her characters ending up with someone who offers growth and joy. (Azriel and Elain?) SJM can't tell us in black and white that she's doing this, but COME ON people. There's a reason she discusses it.

Oh, and the TODAY show decided to like/comment on Elriel comments ONLY.

Side Note: If interested, take a look at this tumblr post for a lovely, thorough breakdown. ( @courtofblooming )

April 19th, 2024

Guilty As Sin Instagram Story from SJM- Sarah loves her little crumbs, and this song honestly encapulates Elriel. We unfortunately don't get confirmation from SJM, but I'll include some of the lyrics for you to judge.

This cage was once just fine

Am I allowed to cry?

I dream of cracking locks

Throwing my life to the wolves

Or the ocean rocks

Crashing into him tonight

He's a paradox

I'm seeing visions, am I bad?

Or mad? Or wise?

What if he's written 'mine' on my upper thigh

Only in my mind?

One slip and falling 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 trysts

Without ever touching his skin

How can I be guilty as sin?

What makes it even better? Audible and Spotify commented ONLY on Elriel posts in relation to this song. You won't find these particular companies commenting on any other ships of the fandom.

Side Note: The other side of the fandom tries to discredit these influential companies by stating the person behind the account doesn't represent the whole company or just enjoy saying the companies comments aren't credible. Multi-million dollar companies are NOT going to waste their time and reputation on fanon created ships. These companies are business smart and only invest in what's profitable. There's a reason they make millions...ELRIEL is profitable due to canon evidence. Simple as that.

December 2nd, 2024

Bloomsbury and SJMaas Updates announce that the audiobooks are now available on Spotify- Bloomsbury, SJM Updates, and Spotify are in close collaboration with each other. Makes those Spotify Elriel comments even more satisfying. ❤️

December 9th, 2024

SJM 2024 Author of the Year Spotify Video- Although we got little news for the coming spring about audible books, us as a fandom had a lovely time dissecting the video. Yet again, Spotify only commented on Elriel comments.

Side Note: Take a look at these tumblr posts for an inciteful look into the significance of tea cups/Elain ( @offtorivendell ) and an excellent interpretation of the Spotify video. ( @wingedblooms )

December 13th, 2024

E News!- I know this particular article has ruffled some feathers, but it's entertaining none the less! Gotta love the nod to Azriel's wingspan. IYKYK (And yes, it's credible... it's owned by NBC Universal... the same company that owns TODAY and 33% stakes of Hulu through Comcast (Comcast owns NBC Universal, and the stakes are through NBC Universal). I only add Hulu due to the ACOTAR TV series being developed through Hulu.)

December 17th, 2024

Goodreads- This is just a little star on top of the tree, but it's great to know that ACOFAS made it into the top 10 most read overall books this year. (Interesting how ACOSF didn't make it...) Notably, ACOFAS is the bridge for future spin-offs. (Also interesting how a particular character isn't seen in ACOFAS...)

(ACOFAS pictures taken from @psychologynerd post linked below)

In Conclusion...

As an Elriel, I've truly appreciated the continuous confirmations for Azriel and Elain for the future ACOTAR 5 book in small, simple ways. Even better knowing that Spotify and Audible have outwardly commented on ONLY Elriel posts.

As the year 2024 ends, I'll treasure these little nuggets of positivity until the announcement day! I have a feeling 2025 will hold some excellent news for the fandom. Until then, have a wonderful holiday season and a Happy New Year!

P.S.

If you know of anymore pro Elriel content from this year, by all means, write a comment. 🥰

[bluiela]

My biggest flex in the acotar fandom is that in the sea of "I actually care about Elain and that's why I ship her with Az" "I actually care about Elain unlike you" "I care about Elain hence I take her word rather than Cassian's",

I actually care about the person behind the screen and don't harass them for words on paper that are someone's imagination.

[greenleaf777]

So we are all in agreement that “Put it on me” will naturally evolve to “Put it in me”?

Good good excellent

Get it, Elain!

[starsreminisce]

I love how SJM mentioned that the next book is going to be very long, especially since she made Elain and Lucien mates back in 2016 and will now be making up for all the time she has kept them apart until it is finally time for them to face it in their own perspectives.

Especially considering that Elain still hasn’t rejected the bond and has kept all his presents.
