Things that I NEED like air to happen in Gwynriel's book:

Gwyn moving in with Nesta and getting out of the library

more late night run-ins with Azriel

falling asleep on his shoulder while researching

Gwyn buying dresses and wearing sth else other than her priestess robes or illyrian leathers

her singing in a beautiful gown and Azriel being utterly amazed

gleeriel

flying in Azriel's arms

exploring Velaris together

night swimming

Gwyn lulling him to sleep

riding her white pegasus with Azriel flying beside her

saving him from drowning during a mission

the Valkyries getting ready together and having a girls' night out

Gwyn dancing with Azriel

When I'm sad because of some shipwars, I think about this:

Me to E/riels: Denial is a river in Egypt, Azriel's book is next.

And that's what you missed on Glee.

Music Parallels between Feysand, Nessian, & Gwynriel

SJM has spoken about the significance of music in her personal life and the importance it holds in her books. We’ve seen it with Bryce in CC and Aelin in TOG. There was not as much of an emphasis on music in ACOTAR until Silver Flames with Nesta, but there is an important example with Feysand.

In ACOTAR, music has been used to share comfort and support from one partner to the other with both Nessian and Feysand. We got a hint of this in the BC with Gwynriel.

You can also listen to my tiktok on this here.

Feysand:

When Feyre is UTM, nearing her breaking point, she hears a faint music unlike anything she’s ever heard before. She states that she was sinking so far, it would take something extraordinary to pull her out.

Then she hears the music. She follows the music and it pulls her out of her cell and frees her in beautiful nature scenery.

It was music that filled the gaps of her soul and brought her to a place where there was no longer any pain.

This music warms her bones and bounces her away from her breaking point as she awaits the next trail. In ACOMAF, we learn that it is Rhysand who sent this music to her. She asks him why and he says it was to save her. To keep her from breaking.

Nessian:

Music is very significant in Nesta’s story. We know it is a reason why she sought out the taverns she went to. Elain tells us it is one of the only times we see the true Nesta. When she is dancing and when there is music playing.

Because of what music means to her, Cassian gifts Nesta a special orb which plays all her favorite music. He went to her favorite taverns and requested they play the music so that he could record it for her. He even got the musicians from the ball to replay the entire set so that he could save it in the orb for her.

This gift is so meaningful to Nesta that it brings her to tears. Music brings her joy and comfort and Cassian had found a way for her to have music always.

With Feysand, Rhysand sends Feyre music to rescue her from a low point.

With Nessian, Cassian gifts Nesta something that can bring her music whenever she needs since music is something she seeks out for comfort.

Gwynriel:

After Azriel’s interaction with Rhysand in the BC, Azriel is at a low. He takes himself outside into the cold so that he can feel nothing anymore. So that he can return to being nothing.

After this, we get his scene with Gwyn in which something restless begins to settle in him. On his way out of the training ring, he enters the warmth of the stairwell and he swears he can hear a faint, beautiful singing following. His shadows sang in answer.

The music is obviously indicated to have come from Gwyn. This is either literally or figuratively. Regardless, it is an exchange of music between Gwyn and Az in a time when he is in need of comfort. He goes from actively seeking out the cold to numb himself to feeling warmth as he leaves Gwyn.

E/riels use this as an example of Gwyn’s “lightsinger powers” manipulating Azriel in some capacity. But the exchange of music from one partner to another who is in need of support and comfort is a reoccurring action in ACOTAR as exemplified in this post with both Nessian and Feysand.

We also learn from his interaction with Gwyn that Azriel himself sings. This is not mentioned in 5 books, but SJM chose to make this reveal in the BC through Gwyn and Az’s interaction.

This is not just some throw away reveal. Singing is a very important part of Gwyn’s story as well and she is the one that gets Azriel to reveal this part of him to the readers. No one else has inquired about this part of him.

After this reveal, SJM gives us more of a peak at Azriel’s enjoyment of music in CC3. This is not coincidental. It is building on the reveal we got in his SF bonus chapter and the connection between him and Gwyn.

Gleeriel is coming home i fear 😌

[starlightjasminsblog]

I was gone for a while. I see some E/riels are so triggered by Gwyn that they started making theories about her and Az being siblings.

Gwyneth Berdara will always be famous 💅🏼

[areyoudreaminof]

if you know, you simply know

[stargirlie25]

guys now that Az expressed his sexual feelings for Elain i never want him to refer to her as a sister but before all that they gave such siblings vibes im so sorry. I mean not that it stopped sarah from making cass call mor his sister but im talking abt me lol 😭

Like when feyre said they were the only two civilized ones and Elain would cling to him? I thought it would be like the nice duo.

Like you know how you can call you and your friend or bestie ´´the chaotic duo´´

because when nessian first met they had same bark but elriel was more like

´´hey whats up im not ever going to be in a romantic relationship with you so we are going to be kind together so no one says we have chemistry´´ or Sarah just laid them out as words on paper together but with nessian they had potential from the start.

I never got couple vibes because they just never had potential. Sure right now elriel got the sexual vibes but elucien and gwynriel are the couples that have had potential from the very beginning.

Feysand and nessian did but obviously i didn't like the outcome but that's not my point!! My point is no couple in SJM history starts that boring. I'm sorry they just give nothing together. Every one of the couples has a story or a conflict to work through. There is no way a dumb necklace would be the conflict between elriel.

Elriel is one of those people who try to be a couple because they have the same circle and are pleasant to each other and have a mutual trust but then their relationship is much more meaningful as friends.

I fully believe they will laugh about the fact they wanted to kiss each other someday when they are situated with their redheads.

some people act like we eluciens and gwynriels never want them to interact again lolllll! They can be friends! Once Az sees past the stereotypes he placed on Elain!!!

I KNOW I KNOW i was being so mature in this post and i just had to add that comment jajajajajajajjaja but like i'm anti e/riel first then human so it's in my blood 😭

Please tell me you understand this post in the slightest way 😭😭😭

[rosenecklaces]

YOU! acotar blog, twitter, instagram, reddit user with a big following. are you normal about Elain Archeron?

[gwynrieldreams]

Gwynriel duet dropped 💙

[queenlachimolala]

I just saw an Elriel fanart using this as inspiration:

They love calling us Gleeriel and making fun of us. But when you look at their fanarts and fics...

"Bunch of wannabes that wanna be me, me three if I was you." - Shut Down by Blackpink

They want Elain to be Gwyn. It's so funny.

[starlightjasminsblog]

Sarah confirmed Az will be singing. I'm sorry but there will be a glee moment. 😔

Maybe even a Gleeriel one.

[riafalcone1]

"Useless" Elain is not gonna be the next fmc - she hasn't been set up blah blah blah....funny how it's "usless" elain who had an entire personality to make it on a quiz...yet the ginger who's supposed to sing koschei to death with her Pegasus and friendship bracelets and her 500 acosf mentions along with her very "big bad" ribbon cutting and valkyrie girl boss show and her very important pliable bones and autumn court heritage- doesn't make it on an acotar quiz - how's that next fmc material??? I don't know maybe if sjms team used the glee personality found on a03 then perhaps she may have found her way to be present on a quiz.

If yall don't like what I've said abt glee ...pls note I'm merely throwing out all gleeriel theories that yall have been supplying the fandom for years ...yall seem to rely heavily on those for your ship to work

[yazthebookish]

In my Gleeriel feels these days 🎶

[azrielsfavoriteshadow]

Sorry, I find it absolutely hilarious that the other side is trying to make Elain a singer or instrument player after coining “Gleeriel” in an attempt to make fun of Gwynriel and their mutual love for singing.

Byeeeee. Too funny. Gleeriel ate though.

[meldarkthrop]

"Gwyn is a lightsinger. The Valkyrie plot is so boring. It's unbelievable that they won haha! Gwyn being a singer and Azriel being a singer? Gleeriel! The shadows disappearing is actually good, their playfulness around Gwyn means nothing—"

Some E/riel theories:

Elain is actually a Singer. She is also a lightsinger, a life Singer, and her power complements Azriel. Elain shapeshifted and is actually one of the Valkyries. Elain is Balthazar, she was in the Blood Rite and she helped Nesta. The shadows actually love Elain—

For a group that claims to love Elain as she is, they sure do want her to be Gwyn.

[venusin-aries]

I just find it so bizarre e//riels give Gwynriel’s so much shit for bringing up the fact Gwyn and Az are singers, call us “gleeriels” and then they go ahead and think Elain’s “secret talent” is singing.

They say Gwyn pushed him to tell her and Azriel was annoyed by it.

All Gwyn had to do was tease him and he folded and admitted it.

The hypocrisy in that fandom is strong.

The desperation to give Azriel and Elain something in common even stronger.

ACOTAR 5

Rhysand and Nesta are having an argument:

I decided to embrace the Gleeriel, I will post Acotar and Glee content for now on. This is Acotar 5, only using Glee videos.

Glee is coming ! That's what you missed on Glee.
