justice for elriel
already said this, but i feel like some people haven’t read the same books as me regarding elriel. and i don't particularly mean them as a ship, i mean that because of ships some people refuse to acknowledge the amazing characters that are these two (and how well they go together). i love them so much.
some talk of elain as plain, boring girl who is fragile and useless and i just don't get it. the poor girl has her life turned upside down not once, but twice. and yes, she doesn't react the same way feyre or nesta do, but she also fights. she helps them in the war. for the love of god, nesta and cassian are alive because she stabbed the king (with azriel's most special dagger that he never lent anyone but her, mind you). i'm sorry but that don't you touch my sister was one of the top moments for me.
and not only that, but i've seen people hate her. how can you hate her?? i just don't get it. she's growing out of her shell, she's blossoming into a strong, fearless woman. feyre herself said she believed elain to be the strongest because she remained hopeful even in hard times. and she sees the good in people.
sure, in acowar she was still processing everything, but in acofas and acosf you can see her being comfortable around everyone and more sure of herself, bolder, as cassian said. her hobbies may be quieter than her sisters', but that doesn't make her less interesting. plus it's obvious that she doesn't wanna be babied. she was willing to scry and help them fight the queen. she's ready to fight, to use her powers. to show who she really is.
and talking about azriel, i just can't believe some people talk about him as the "sad guy" and nothing else. they talk as if the whole inner circle and the archeron sisters weren't in love with him. he fights with everything he has for his people. he didn't care about the bad condition his wings were in during the last battle, he wanted to fight along his brothers.
he taught feyre how to fly because he understood the fears she may have. he never once judger her. he's always there for everyone. he may not be expressing himself with words easily, but you can see it in his actions how much he cares about his family.
he's also so smart and i love that. for me, he's one of the most interesting characters in the whole series, maybe even the most interesting one. he has such a hard past, but he overcame it. he despises the illyrians, but he loves his brothers and is one of the best three fighters they have. he has a lot of control, but he didn't hesitate to defend mor against eries or to go rescue elain. he cares, a lot.
(and please don't even get me started on the be careful how you speak about my high lady. this man is HOT)
and last but not least, elriel. these two have so many moments, even if they are subtle. you can't deny the connection they have from the second they met. elain inmediately felt more at ease in his presence and she asked him multiple questions. and he was so so kind to her, making sure she didn't feel uncomfortable. and let me remind you her dress was the color of azriel's siphons. i can't let that go.
in acowar, azriel is the one who says elain doesn't need anything when others talked about her as if she needed to be fixed. and he's the one who understands what is happening with her, that she's a seer. i think it's so important that he didn't doubt her. he trusted that she was capable enought to help, to grow, to be.
when elain gets kidnapped, he's the first one to say i'm getting her back. he didn't hesitate for one second, even when the rest told him he would die. he was getting her back. and he did, and they didn't want to let go of each other.
and elain kissed his cheek without caring about whoever or whatever that was going on around them.
and as i said before, azriel lent her truth-teller so she would be able to defend herself. he doesn't cut her wings. i feel like some people misunderstand his words acosf when he didn't want her near darkness. he was worried, but he never, once, tried to order her or tell her what she could or couldn't do.
he's also one of the few people who treats her as a capable, adult woman who is strong and clever. he encourages her, and so does she.
i also need to talk about elain saying his hands are beautiful. his hands, that he feels are always dirty and unworthy of touching something precious. she has never judged them or him.
oh, and please let's talk about them getting each other gifts for the winters solstice. multiple times. they're whipped. they're just so so cute to me.
offer and permission.
and no, i don't think azriel would be bad for elain or stop her growth. i don't think he would slow her down because he also needs to grow in his confidence.
and no, i don't think elain is bad suited for azriel because she may not be interested in fighting as her sisters are. elain is ready to fight her battles, to be an active part of her court. just because she chooses to do so differently, it doesn't mean is not important.
so, basically, these two are iconic and they're wonderful characters who deserve all the love and appreciation and i honestly think they have crazy chemistry and could have an epic (love) story. they're awesome, together and individually and i can't wait to be inside their minds. i really hope the next book is about them because the possibilities are endless.
they are that good.
#acotar#azriel#elain#elriel#pro azriel#pro elain#this doesn't mean i hate lucien and gwyn okay#i truly don't#i actually like them a lot too#but i just needed to rant about these two because i love them#i refuse to believe people actually hate on them#obviously not everyone#because not everyone has bad taste#anyway#I LOVE MY BABIES#pls no inner circle or archeron slander#pro elriel

They turned Narinder into the good guy by comparison.
That's what Unholy Alliance did. By confirming that Narinder was sealed because he was resurrecting his followers, thus making the other bishops jealous of his power, Jojo made Narinder into the victim and the bishops into the victimizers.
That's why TV Tropes entrys like this exist now.
"He used to be nice, but then his big bad siblings sealed him away, and now he's mean"
It's almost as if this was tailor-made to cater to Narinder woobifiers. I genuinely fear for the story's future.
#cult of the lamb#cotl narinder#Cult of the lamb critical#I don't want to feel this way about the game#I truly don't#But for fuck's sake#The fanservice is utterly rampant#I wouldn't be surprised if next update we're able to revive ratau

my hometown got a huge influx of venezuelans due to the current crisis in venezuela - they're part of the 5million living in brazil atm. we had previously welcomed a lot of haitians immigrants after the natural disasters of haiti as well years ago
as a preface: i have always been pro immigration and i have never thought that people don't deserve the right to escape a bad home life to try and make it better for themselves etc
along with the haitian + venezuelan immigration, my hometown and west region of my home state has also been bringing people from the northeast under the guise of "we need workers" to run the factory farming butchering plants (big for pigs and chickens in the area)
which is just a flat out lie. we dont need more people - there is plenty of people willing to work. what the companies need is people willing to work for pennies (even for a couple of months) so they go to a far region, make absurd promises about wages and housing opportunities and growth, bring the people here. they get here -> realize how the COL is crazy high due to multiple factors -> racism & xenophobia -> difficulty adapting to the weather (northeast is hot, south gets cold) -> things unravel
and by things unravel i mean:
1) working on a butchering plant is extremely dangerous and has many health risks. if these works get injured temporally or permanently that will put an even bigger strain on the local health care system & public retirement funds
2) cultural differences make it difficult for these workers to integrate, leading to feelings of isolation, displacement, anger, sadness etc
3) the companies are making bank on their underpaid labor meanwhile the city's - that is already stretched thin - public services drop substantially in quality because they cannot keep up with the demand, they did not and do not plan for this. healthcare, schools, transportation, housing, security are just a few of the areas that are going downhill
4) the companies bring the men -> the men save up and bring their families -> what was originally one person becomes 4-6 and the strain on public funds get even bigger
now, i personally know this is NOT the immigrants & emigrants fault. i get this. the average joe however does not see the bigger picture of how the companies are bringing people over dumping them there and then abandoning them by their own luck which causes a myriad of issues
my bff irl is a labor lawyer and he has told me first hand the companies are promising fucking houses. like. it's completely absurd. and they keep getting away with this!
there is plenty of work, but the work available is back breaking and underpaid. local citizens don't submit to that. desperate migrants do. leading to: drop in wages -> rise in COL -> unsatisfaction of local population rises -> far right ideas gets propagated even further
it's such a deep, complex issue, in which government & companies work together to fuck the citizens over who then turn against immigrants
#i dont have an easy solution for this#i truly don't#and being able to see this happening first hand makes me actually understand why anti immigration rethoric gains force#and why it grows#and it doesn't grow simply out of racism/xenophobia even though yes those are components#it's more layered than that#obviously it's capitalisms fault & governments who aid this murder machine#and then people are the ones who suffer#this is not even going into the education topic. a lot of immigrant children come from a very unstable unhealthy home life#and hardly get the help they need#and end up lashing out violently towards teachers and other children#how migrants end up living in straight up unsanitary conditions#etc etc...

Unironically, donating to a pro-trans charity will do more good for the world than buying a video game will be bad.
#i truly don't#understand what these ppl think will happen#if you buy the game a random trans person dies?????#this is becoming unhinged#in what way is Buying A Game comparable to the one ring#like. i dont even understand the metaphor anymore.#if the problem is that she'll use the money for anti trans stuff#WHY does donating to a pro trans charity not negate that????#im getting to the point where im so confused im not even ruminating so much anymore#like what is even going on here

so. i understand where the sentiment "listening to an audiobook is the same thing as reading the book" is coming from - i mean, yes, the bottom line is you are taking in the same words in what is possibly a more accessible (or maybe just more enjoyable) format for you! and i'm 100% in agreement that "book snobs" who say "no you didn't really read it" if you listened to the audiobook are full of shit. ofc you should engage with stories in whatever way works for you, there is no moral or intellectual superiority to reading words off a page vs. listening to them
but it also is different? an audiobook is a performance. choices a narrator makes about line readings can drastically influence the meaning of the lines. even just different voices, accents, etc. - there are creative choices being made by the person delivering the words to you, and that affects your experience of the story in a different way than if you were making those choices in your own head. it might even change the way you visualize what's going on!
this isn't a bad thing it's just An Actual Thing & i think it's worth talking about. it rubs me the wrong way when people act like accommodations (and for many people audiobooks are an accommodation) always result in a completely identical experience, or even that they should, & if you suggest that people accessing media in different ways are having different experiences it's somehow ableist
anyway on rare occasions i really enjoy audiobooks but mostly they are much less accessible to me than words on a page (i need to be able to reread, flip back and forth, go at my own pace) & i also just really strongly prefer to encounter a text on my own before hearing someone else's performance of it, if possible! again i don't think it's "better" to read a physical book i just think it is a Distinct form of experiencing a story & acting like the two things are entirely the same is sort of doing a disservice to both
#rambling thoughts#audiobooks#was talking to jey about this the other day & that helped me clarify what i've been musing on#i really truly think people should read in whatever way they can. listening or using an e-reader or holding a physical book#i always always want to hold the book but i don't think i'm fucking superior for it lmao
