The deathless and his lovely fawn

"But a wild, wicked voice weaving in between the chaos in her head said otherwise. Come, that voice said, tugging at her. Come, my sweet seer."

{Elain and Koschei}

Elain the fawn

Drew Elain as the fawn to compliment the fox Lucien I drew. I had a blast with giving her those doe eyes!

I will post a progress post to follow. =D

Use your heads, people.

Did we read 3 books of Feyre only painting? No.

Did we read 1 book of Nesta only reading? No.

So then...why in the ever-loving fuck... would Elain's book only be about her fucking gardening????

The river to Hel

This meta builds upon theories in Peering into a pit of hell, The space between, Forbidden secrets, Flower of life, Blooming dreams, Bright as the dawn, and Heart of the night court. It includes spoilers for hofas, so please avoid if necessary.

In Heart of the night court, I wondered if there could be a doorway to Hel under/on Ramiel that is linked to Temple of Chaos (Wyrd). I’m very curious about the Pass of Enalius on Ramiel, the heart of the land, that seemed to breathe—

like the pit at the heart of Chaos’s (Wyrd’s) temple seemed to breathe.

In the stone illustrations leading to the sacred peak on the Prison island, we see a Helscape beneath the land. Is it possible that the land above mirrors the Helscape below? And could the dark water in the Bog of Oorid, which flows underground, into the sacred peak in the Middle, and into other courts—including the Night Court—be the start of the path on the black river in Hel? A River Acheron Archeron, like @offtorivendell theorized long ago?

Nesta and Bryce make similar observations of the dark waters in both places:

-

The black surface of Oorid is even compared to a mirror, just like the Temple of Chaos seems to mirror the Temple of Wyrd in Midgard. Is Oorid a reflection, near-mirror, of what lay beneath, like sister-glass?

As indicated by the mist, it is a thin place, which means the veil between worlds is thin there. The color of the water may even be from black salt. Bryce and Hunt use black salt in Avallen, combined with water, to travel to Hel in a dream.

Before the land was cursed by Fionn’s death, it was once a sacred place (like the three sister peaks). People used to lay their dead to rest in the bog.

Did its waters, like a solemn stag, once guide souls of the dead to Chaos’s (Wyrd’s) womb at Ramiel?

If this place does mirror, or bleed into, the path to Chaos’s (Wyrd’s) temple, then could the violence of Fionn’s death have defiled it?

Theia and Pelias may have violated the peace and beauty of this sacred place by ruthlessly killing the king who also seemed deeply connected to its land. It withered upon his brutal death, falling into a deep winter.

When he was drowned, Fionn was gagged and bound. What if his soul remains trapped in its watery depths, unable to make the journey home? Perhaps Elain, a lovely fawn with vibrant spring behind her, might be able to guide him to the womb of the Mother, her sacred temple, and right an ancient wrong. Could this act of peace purify the darkness of Oorid and thaw the winter gripping its soul?

Curvy Elain 1: One of my very favorite things the fans have imagined interpreting Elain's "elegant curves" is a female who is both: 1. undeniably, comfortably plush-bodied 2. the undeniably, uncontested loveliest of her siblings. I love the notion that with safety and health, she has thrived into a hypnotic fullness. That a person can have a soft body, whip necks through a room, and bring kings to their knees is fundamentally unquestionable. I hope SJM thinks so, but if not, that's what fanfic and fandom are for.

been seeing a lot of mood-boards recently…may i introduce you to my mood-collage?

what's my biggest pet peeve well it's when someone makes a text post on tumblr dot com in which they are trying to romanticize the notion of the livestock guardian dog but they don't know the distinction between a livestock guardian dog and a herding dog and also they've never met a livestock guardian dog and do not realize what their attitudes towards the sheep that they protect actually are

One sad thing I've learned from being in this fandom is that people will always value a man's opinion more (Cassian) than what a woman declares for herself (Elain). A man's thoughts, opinions, and beliefs will always trump what a woman says and believes about herself, and that's twenty different shades of fucked up.

Curvy Elain 2: moreover, it is no imagination stretch that a certain Spymaster, internally starved for love, would be entirely obsessed with the beauty of soft power. Elain's character abounds with associations to life, sunlight, and nourishment... I mean, of course he wanna eat her up. I figure, Az observing her grow and restore to richness sets something entirely at ease in his secret nurturer's heart.

It is also a lovely arc to show his decided change. Rhys' asks him, "What of Mor, Az?" Sir... I'll tell you 'what of Mor'.... the golden-fleeced, dazzling, impossibly-flat bellied badass didn't hold a candle to the abundant earthbound goddess of the dawn he'd had to leave downstairs like abandoning home. I think he'd want to hold on to everything she's got.
