Priestess, Valkyrie Gwyneth Berdara

I love Gwyneth Berdara.

I know, it may sound obvious, but each day I am reminded one way or another that some people still can’t/don’t want to comprehend some things.

Therefore this is a Gwyn appreciation post because she deserves the best.

I’ve loved Gwyn ever since she was introduced. I was interested, intrigued by her; I wanted to learn more. I found myself getting excited each time she was mentioned or she made an appearance in ACOSF. The more I learnt about Gwyn, the more I wanted to get to know her character even better.

I don’t love Gwyn because I like Gwynriel, or because I hate certain characters. No. I love Gwyn as an individual character, and I want to read more of her story. I want her to have her deserved happy ending.

I love Gwynriel. I am not claiming they are in love (because, obviously, they are not), but there is potential. Potential that, if explored appropriately, could lead to one of Sarah’s best romances - I genuinely get those vibes from Gwynriel.

But if the ship does not happen, it doesn’t mean I’ll stop loving Gwyn. I won’t just switch it up and bash her. Why? Once again, I love Gwyn as a character, not as a part of a ship. Whether she ends up with Azriel, another character, or no one, she’ll remain among my favourite characters, and I’ll still be looking forward to reading about her.

Gwyn is kind, loyal, selfless. She’d give her life for the loved ones. Gwyn is strong and ambitious, and does not let fears conquer her. She’s seriously one of Sarah’s best characters, and it is sad so many people villainize her just because of a stupid ship war.

A very happy birthday to our Taurus queen, Nesta Archeron! 👑 I'm sure she'd spend it with her besties and chosen sisters, Emerie and Gwyn! And I just know that the House would give them all the smuttiest books to read and all the chocolate cake to eat.

A very big thank you to @/michi.illustrations for working with me on this gorgeous commission to celebrate! Do not repost without credit and do not feed into AI programs.

Feyre says that very few people like Nesta. Mor says that she's a wicked monster who would thrive in the CoN, and doesn't deserve the benefit of the doubt. Cassian says that everyone hates her.

Meanwhile, Nesta is out here making friends like nobody's business: Gwyn, Emerie, the Valkyries, Clotho (really it feels like Nesta's befriended all the priestesses except Merrill), Bryce, Ember, Randall.

And then, of course, there's Eris, who wants to marry her after only three dances.

The IC are really the only ones who can't see how amazing Nesta is.

Based on the information we have about lightsingers I answered no. Gwyn doesn’t match the description at all. There’s a lot we don’t know about Gwyn’s parentage and her powers/glow can be explained without making her evil, which lightsingers have been described to be. Stands to be seen how SJM writes her story.

Valkyrie Week Day 2: nothing can break us!

[bookishwithathought]

I need Azriel to have a confessional moment with Gwyn, similar to Rhys with Feyre in the cabin. Doesn’t need to lead to a chapter 55 moment (I actually prefer if it doesn’t lead to anything physical so it doesn’t distract from the tenderness of the confession, and the last thing Az needs is getting physical too soon with his mate, boy needs the inner work to happen first), but more than anything he needs someone he will trust on that level, where he’s unfiltered and uncensored. He’s not even like that with his friends of centuries, he shuts down even with his closest people.

I need it so I can hug my box of tissues with snot running down my chin and vision blurred by tears while reading it.

I need Gwyn to take his face into her hands, stare at his face until he meets her eyes, and say “you’re enough. You’re good. You are exactly what you ought to be and exactly who I want, and I’ll always remind you in case you forget. I’ll also kick your ass in the process” with a wide grin at the last.

Amid tears. Azriel grasps her hands still on his face and smiles. “It would be my pleasure to have my ass kicked by you everyday. Just be here everyday.”

OK BYE 😭
