this is just like them calling lucien ugly when literally every character in the books goes on for paragraphs about how hot and well dressed he is. i'm sorry but the math isn't mathing!!!

i agree, gwyn is gorgeous, end of discussion. every sjm character is attractive as hell, it's so stupid to try and say otherwise lol. and i would argue that az does indeed want a snarky ginger with how hung up he seems to be on the vanserras, two snarky ginger brothers. like if we had to guess his type, i would be so confident in saying it's that LMFAOOOO

also this just screams insecurity because at the end of the day, who fucking cares if they're ugly or not that pretty? as readers, don't we fall in love with the characters for their personalities? not to sound old and gatekeep-y but i hate what mainstream attention from places like tiktok and such has done to reading. of course anyone can (and should!) read but you really can tell who enjoys it for the simple art of enjoying it, and those who enjoy it because the books are popular and they don't want to be left out

or... and hear me out... taylor makes songs that can be applied to any ship in any fandom, much like a lot of other pop music. it's not that deep lol. e/riels really need to stop reaching so hard, they might throw their backs out if they're not careful

yeah, sjm isn't subtle or really sneaky at all but these new fans seem to think everyone has to leave hints and clues outside of their work, when she has never done that over the span of her decade old career. why start now? anything she writes will earn her millions anyway, seems unnecessary to me. i believe that sjm's new team is just trying to get engagement and that it doesn't go very far beyond that

oh e/riels have severe main character syndrome. they think everything is about them and their ship and if it isn't they twist facts and omit information to make it seem so. it's sad that a lot of them are grown ass adults too like girl... don't you have bills or something to worry about? but you're on social media bullying others over fictional pairings? embarrassing. i know i talk mad shit but god damn i don't keep up with them like they do gwyn fans/gwynriels. i spend my free time on things i don't claim to hate, weird i know! but honestly we all know they're secretly fans at this point 🤭

lmfaoooo they're so hypocritical it's insane. how is elain going to stay in the night court with her sisters, spy besties and broody bat "where she belongs" while also being in spring/tied to spring? we all know azriel is not leaving rhys or his court so... seems to me like you wouldn't want to connect elain to spring. you know something that eluciens and actual elain fans have been doing for years now? because we understand her character?? and yes! no way in hell does az's mom live in the spring court. no way. they're just killing off all their own critical thinking for fun at this point

of course they want to go back to 2018 because that was a time when they'd bullied a majority of eluciens off of social platforms and they were "in charge". i was here, i've seen the shift in real time. that's why a lot of them ignore gwyn's existence too. they know it wouldn't make sense for her to be this connected to azriel if it didn't mean anything

they can scream about how she's a red herring or evil or whatever other thing all they want. it still doesn't change the fact that they have a history and she's the character he's shown the most emotion around

thank you, anon 💖 i know it's important to talk about things and not bottle it up but i'm still learning to do that, and lately it feels like even that doesn't help. i just want things to be normal lol

you know it really fucking sucks to realize your friends don't actually care about you. at least, not in the way they should. they're never around when it's hard yet claim they care soooo much but it's only when they can spare the time or they're bored

literally going through the worst shit i've experienced and they just don't care. they don't ask. they're never around. i wouldn't wish what i've been going through on anyone

is the romance that's allegedly been teased the last few books in the room with us?

FUCK YES PLEASE. I CRAVE THIS MORE THAN ANYTHING.

az has always been the protector because he feels he needs to prove his worth at every possible opportunity, i need gwyn being the overprotective one in their relationship. not only would it show az that he is worthy of love but i also think it'd help gwyn feel more in control, so a total win win situation!

yeah isn't it funny how when az displays the same red flags tamlin did it's hot?? it's actually kinda insane how similar they act with certain things and how people condemn tamlin for everything yet are perfectly fine if a brooding bat does it. like idc but at least own your hypocrisy instead of getting off on the idea that you somehow have better morals for liking/disliking fictional characters 😭
