Explaining the Sunflowers.
If you've been to my page within the last day or two, you'll have realized I completely changed it all to a theme of Sunflowers.
Let me explain why. It's rather simple, really.
Lucien is the son of the Autumn Court, yes. Through his mother.
But what he does not know, but we, his mother, Feyre and Rhysand know is that he is also the son of Helion. Thus, he is also the son of the Day Court as well.
Day time means the time when the sun is up. This makes Lucien the Sun.
Elain, right from the beginning of the series, is associated with gardening. But not vegetables. She is associated with gardening flowers.
Then, right as she moves to the Night Court, into the Town House, she begins gardening flowers there too.
It is a key trait of hers. Not her only trait, no. But a key, and major trait of her character.
Combine the two names Elain and Lucien, you have Elucien. Combine the two traits of these characters, you have Sunflower.
Eluciens flower is a sunflower.
I will die on this hill. No one can convince me otherwise.
Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.
(You may use the graphics I made, just like and reblog before you do.)

Sometimes I think about how Adrien, throughout the series, constantly grapples with his fear of abandonment. Gabriel conditioned him to believe that any love he receives is purely transactional, and that to earn affection he has to prove his utility. Adrien is constantly trying to prove his worth to his father for scraps of affection, and Chat Noir infamously crumbles on-screen any time he feels as though he is replaceable to Ladybug. It's a constant insecurity of his, like everyone will just dump him like a sack of potatoes the moment they find out how useless he is.
Meanwhile, all Marinette wants to is ensure that Adrien is happy. Because she loves him. She doesn't give two shits about how """useful""" he is. She holds him and tells him that she will never abandon him (both as Ladynoir and as Adrienette), and her fantasies are about saving him, not about him being "useful" to her. Throughout their relationship, Adrien is forced to disappoint Marinette constantly for reasons outside of his control (amok commands), and yet Marinette is still there for him.
At Adrien's lowest point, when he is forcibly torn away from everyone who had ever showed him genuine care, locked away in an all-white room and at his most "useless", right after disappointing Marinette and unable to even join the final battle or contribute in any way, she still saves him. She still loves him. Because he doesn't have to prove anything to her. Because he is loved and cherished for who he is, not for what he does, and that love is not conditional. Adrien's "happy ending" at the end of the first arc wasn't about him finally proving how useful he can be, because he never actually cared about being useful — he just saw it as the only means to feel loved and needed. Instead, in the end, he found out that he was loved and needed no matter what.
