Elain and Feyre’s watercolor sugar cookies

For @elainarcheronweek ‘s Cookie Exhange

My mom is a baker with a specialty in cookies and cakes so I got so excited when I saw this little event! Here is a cool recipe we did recently! This technique is a bit like watercolor painting, but with frosting! I feel like Elain would bake the cookies and Feyre would help paint them. It’s such a cute activity!

Instructions below cut:

1. Bake the sugar cookies (I don’t feel like giving the recipe for that, it’s the easiest part of this lmao. Google it, ask your grandma, or buy premade if you’re lazy)

2. Prepare your royal icing. You can also use white fondant

Ingredients for icing: - 8 cups powdered sugar - ½ tsp cream tartar - 12 tbsp egg whitesl - 1 tbsp vanilla extract

Mix the cream of tartar and powdered sugar together. Add the egg whites, and mix by hand to moisten.

Then, with the whisk attachment, turn your mixer on low and beat for a minute. Turn the mixer up to high, and continue to beat for 2-3 minutes.

Add your vanilla, and mix to combine.

You will need two consistencies of your frosting: a thicker version for the border of the design, and a thinner version called the flood. use royal icing in outline consistency to create a border around the edge of your first cookie. Then, in the same color, use flooding consistency to quickly fill in the center of the cookie. Be careful around the edges. Tap your cookie onto your work surface a few times to help the icing settle. You can even use a toothpick or scribe tool to nudge some icing into any empty spaces or to create a crisper corner edge.

3. Wait until the frosting is completely dry to the touch. We usually let them dry overnight

4. Prepare colors for painting

Ingredients: - food coloring of your choice (water-based is better) - water or vanilla vodka - paintbrushes - a palette or bowls for your colors - paper towels for cleaning brushes

Mix a few drops of coloring to water or vodka (my mom likes the vodka better because it gives a nicer texture)

5. And paint onto your cookie. More food coloring will make for brighter colors, and water / vodka can be used for blending!

These are the cookies me and my mom made for an event this November 🍁

Upsetti Spaghetti

The people who are going to be most upset at the next ACOTAR book are the folks who projected an entirely different personality onto Azriel than the one the actual author gave him. Too many people have set themselves up for severe disappointment because they’ve created a version of him in their heads that probably isn’t going to match the true personality that SJM gives him. I just don’t know why we can’t appreciate what we’ve already been given instead of feeling the need to completely change things. I adore Azriel’s true, canon personality so much, and the way Elain’s personality complements his own beautifully. They truly are a Mother-made match.

[frostwing213]

I keep getting a lot of Elain stuff popping up on my dash. Mostly about shipping, and I'm like:

How'd this girl end up in a love triangle????

People are very opiniated too, fighting over and making essays about it. There's Elain/Az and Elain/Lucien (There's also Az and Gwen, but I understand how Az got in a love triangle.)

I'm just, struggling to care. Don't get me wrong, I don't hate Elain, I just find her kinda boring. She doesn't do much. She feels like that classic fairytale princess that looks pretty and sad in a tower.

Off the top of my head, these are things that define her (Without being linked to men, becase I'm not there yet. Plus, a female character should be able to stand on her own without the men in her life)

She gardens and is primiarily associaed with flowers

Pretty

Nice

Weak

She kinda killed the king of Hyburn

Didn't want to be a fae

kinda wishy washy

Achreon sister

Quiet

Her sisters want to protect her

Future seeing powers

And I'm out of ideas. From my point of view, she doesn't have any discernable personality. Her three major defining things when people think of her are: Pretty, flowers, soft.

She doesn't act for herself, she doesn't speak up. She goes with what happens and gets sad when she doesn't like it. (Becoming a fae was traumatic, and I understand her reaction, but I don't really like it. AND I HAVEN'T EVeN TOUCHED ON THE GREYSON[was that the human dude's name???]THING YET!)

So, when the books start, early ACOTAR. Archeron sisters are in the woods. Feyre is the only one doing something to support the family. Who is Elain in this book? Pretty gardener. Delicate. She isn't doing anything. Some can argue Nesta isn't either, and as a Nesta Supremist, I have to say she was willing to get married to someone cruel to make it easier on her family, and although that isn't much, it's still something. What does Elain do in this book? Be pretty. Please, someone give me an example of Elain doing something constructive and I will edit it in. Please.

Moving on. Next book. She... hosts the house along with Nesta. Oh! She's engaged to a fae hating guy (Who i think is named Greyson. I can't remember and I'm currently loaning out my 2nd and 3rd book, so I can't check rn). Uh.... I don't remember if she does anything else until the end, where she is captured and dumped in the caldron. We find out Lucien is her mate. EDIT!: As @devi1sange1 pointed out to me, Elain did stand up to Nesta about using their house as a meeting spot for the queens. She also takes responisblty for how they treated Feyre. 2 points for Elain. I give her those

She shows up more after that, so I'm not doing book by book, but she gets dumped fast by her fiancé and hangs out in the house of wind, being very sad. I almost wanna describe her as floaty, because she's acting like a ghost, just existing and mourning what is gone. This is a vaild response, and I understand why she responds this way, it just annoys me because she has not shown any autonomy so far. Anything. I think I remember her asking her ex-fiance to take in humans, but that was after being pushed by the inner circle. Uh... she gives a few prophecies, yay that. When the fighting starts, she stays on the sidelines, which I don't blame her for. She kinda kills the king of Hyburn. I think that's all she does in that.

After that. What does she do? Other than hang around??? I DON'T KNOW!

Elain shows no real drive! She exists and sometimes does stuff to push the plot!

Now onto the (possible) romantic interests she has.

Greyson: Uhhhhh, they like each other. She likes her because she's sweet and pretty. I didn't catch anything else between these two. Uh, he dumps her as soon as she's fae and she gets depressed over it

Lucien: Mating bond. She doesn't like him, I get it. He tries to back off. I think Lucien acts responsibly in this situation. Elain is at no fault in this situation either. Mating bonds don't always pair up the most romantic pair, and it doesn't always work out well. Honestly, I never saw much chemistry between these two, and if not for the bond, they likely would have forever ignored each other.

Azriel: (Random, but I searched him up on tumblr because I couldn't remember how to spell his name, and WOW, there's a lot of Azriel x reader. Yall really 'like' him) How, just how did this become such a popular ship? I never even caught this on my read through. Yeah, Az is nice to her, but he's nice to anyone considered friendly. He's just as nice to Feyre and I don't see anyone shipping those two. I just... don't get it. Is it because we want the sisters paired up with the bat boys? Is that it?? I don't understand. I see no chemistry. It's just two people being nice to one another guys.

I think those are the major ones. I don't understand any of them. Lucien and Az are such powerful charters, while Elain is... 'pretty flower girl'.

I don't hate her, but she kinda annoys me with how much crazines she's getting with people shipping her. Wanna know what i think would be great? She ends up with no one romantically. She has friends, just no romantic partner and that is perfectly fine. Lucien will live. If there's nothing between Az and Gwen, then Az will live.

To wrap up, I find Elain to be a pretty boring charter, I just feel indifferent towards her. I love the other two siblings, but I feel like Elaine could have been improved.

Feel free to talk to me about this! Throw out your own opinions! Give me edvince that supports or opposes any of my points! Correct me on stuff and ignore my spelling!

I love a good debate! Give me one! Please.

Interact with me.

Edit!: Thanks for interacting! I swear I'm reading everything! I just didn't expect this to blow up so fast!

Another edit: Thanks yall for interacting! I'm really enjoying reading the responses and what people hope to see coming from Elaine in the future!

𝐜𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐫 ; 𝘧𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 nesta archeron @fadingmadness

" nesta !! " elain called for her sister as she entered the studio. it was early in the morning , long before any classes , when she entered with bundles of flowers in her arms. " i thought these could liven up the place !! "

[seleneprince]

Neris' daughters are named Sylvie and Gwyneth (yes, like Gwyn, one of Nesta's best friends), and they look like the perfect mix between their parents.

Sylvie is the firstborn, arriving four minutes earlier than her twin, something she playfully reminds her of quite often. She has bicolor hair, which its red from roots to the middle and gradually turns golden-brown towards the tips, and her mother's grey eyes. It's long enough to reach her waist, so she usually holds it out of the way with elegant braids or other hairstyles Nesta taught her. She has her mother's temper and her father's silver tongue. She loves animals, specially dogs because she's grown up with her Eris' hounds, and learning all she can about battle strategy. She's a great fighter, particularly talented with knives, and at fourteen she's known in court for defeating everyone that challenges her (and scarring people permanently for wronging her or her family). As Eris' heir, she's expected to command Autumn's tropes one day, so she has to train and study a lot. She's more than willing to kill for her loved ones. She can summon fire and her flames are reddish-orange. A daddy's girl through and through.

Gwyneth (called Neth or Nethie for short), has the same hair design but reversed. Instead, hers it's golden-brown from the roots and turns red to the tips, which she usually keeps shoulder-lenght, and Eris' amber eyes. She's shorter than her twin and looks like a sweeter, meek version of her (people foolishy understimate her for this and forget who raised her). She's more a diplomatic than a fighter, although she's trained in combat too just in case. She got her father's smooth, courtier personality, but in everything else she takes after her mother. She loves music, books and dance. She grew up watching her parents have duets whenever they pleased and she was enamoured by such art. She practices with them both, but its Nesta who teaches her the most. She's meant to become her twin's right hand in the future, so she's interested in politics and even becomes an ambassador for Autumn. Her weapon of choice are her words, but mind you, she can also burn you with her silver flames if you push her enough. She's a completely mommy's girl instead and, as a child, she was glued to Nesta's hips.

Both sisters are fiery in their own way, deadly protective of her loved ones and forces to be reckoned with. They're nicknamed "Autumn's Flames" because that's how strong their presence is. Sylvie is a warrior and a full-on strategist, while Neth is a diplomat and values discretion over open battles. They make the other courts shake in their boots, specially Night.

"are you the person that actually signed up for flight lessons today?" cassian questioned, his brows drawn down in confusion.

@mcrcki asked: ♫ + 6 : feyre and elain

monster by jorge rivera herrans

"elain, you don't need to worry, if it becomes necessary i'll become the monster. i will deal the blow. i won't let anything happen again." feyre vows. watching her sister fall, knowing both of them were in danger constantly, despite how capable they were... it bothered her. and she'd always taken care of them, how could that change now?

[mcrcki]

"feyre, i brought some of the leftovers from the bakery, if you and the kids want any--" elain said as she shrugged her jacket off at the entrance to her sister's home, walking in to see where she had been. "it's also somewhat of a bribe, but let me pretend its out of the goodness of my heart for a minute."

Advice

Don’t let your Cauldron-given mate stop you from finding your Mother-given mate/potential Carranam/husband

[cthoniian]

fingers drift through the glimmering threads in her dreams. fates she’s learned. threads she can touch and prune. meddling in the paths of life and death come naturally to her, after all — has she not held the fate of tender blooms and hardy weeds before? the cycle of life trails through her mind and body as she finds a thread being pulled taut.

spectral lips lift to a snarl — this thread she has seen and fostered. a good prince. a loyal son. a loving brother. and the deathless plucks it as if he plays his own tune upon the fated harp.

ever the healer the snarling seer reaches for the thread, guiding it - easing its path along to the pool of starlight she can reach. the pool of souls within the spring court. a place she frequents unknown to her sisters and high lord. known only to the spring lord - who can deny the seer not access to the pool he never truly knew how to wield.

when she falls back into her body — she blinks, breathless and aching. but she blinks. again. and again. hands raising to brush her cheeks and lashes. they are open. but she bears no sight. a silent tear trails down her cheek. she had known there would be a cost, in tending the threads her vision had begun to alter for years. colors faded, dark spots appeared, and blurry vision was her fate. but the cost had been total this time. but she takes a breath, and with wandering hands moves across the soft moss to find the cool skin of the prince.

‘ you must wake — you must — ‘

her voice breaks, she is afraid. has she paid a price for a body that will not live? a heart that will not beat? teeth worry her bottom lip as she glides hands over to his throat. feeling for the faint pulse.

‘ please —- i cannot find my way back alone. ‘
