@nestaarcheronweek | Day Three: Self-Care

For today I wanted an illustration that shows Nesta doing something that makes her feel like herself and at the same time sharing that part of herself with those she loves and who love her in return.

Jessica is really sweet and was able to do this soft illustration of Nesta dancing with Nyx and I’m so grateful for that. I hope we get to see more moments of Nyx with his favorite aunt (Nesta, obviously) in the next books.

I think it's wild that Elain did not even mention her fiancé's name to Feyre once Feyre found out about her wedding.

Nesta had to tell Feyre about him.

But Elain definitely made sure Graysen knew what her mates name was.

On E/riel Headcannons

Every time I see elriel headcanons, I just feel like bashing my head into the wall because WHO is that Azriel??? Certainly not the Azriel that SJM has written and fleshed out over the course of 4.5 books.

A wry, suave, tortured gentleman who, despite all the cruelty he's experienced, actively chooses kindness over brutality. A man who hides a fiery/snarky side underneath a refined, genteel appearance. A man who has continuously sacrificed himself and yet is still sidelined, disrespected, and excluded by those that should owe him a great debt.

That is not Azriel. Thats Lucien.

If you want to ship Az/Elain that's fine but don't completely mischaracterize Az and certainly don't mischaracterize Lucien to fit your ship.

And if you realize that you've been mistaking Lucien's character for Azriel's... consider joining the Elucien girlies - we'd be happy to have you : )

Five Minutes to Midnight Ch.8 Preview

Nothing is Going to Wake Me Now

“Do you like it here- living in the Spring Court. With me?”

Before I could think, the words tumbled out of my mouth, “Yes. Of course I do- you know I do.” Apparently that was the right response because his smile softened into that of pure affection.

“Good. good.” He was nervous, his palms clammy. What had gotten into him this morning?

“Tamlin, what is going on?” I asked again.

“I was hoping to make your stay here more… permanent.”

Catch up here

Hoping to post by the weekend! It is in the hands of my wonderful beta readers, so I want to make sure it gets the time to breath :) Sorry life has been crazy 😅 I moved 1/3 of the way across the country, started a new job (and I am leaving it to start another new job in a couple weeks), and I’ve just been settling into my new life!

“Azriel is forbidden from Elain, his one true love and his endgame, he must be in an awful mood now 🥺🥺”

* Two minutes later Azriel is laughing and joking with Gwyn. And “something restless settling in him. Even his shadows had calmed.” *

Must be tough 😭😭🙏🏻

I remember how flabbergasted I was two years ago when people tried to convince me that Azriel’s shadows hiding from Elain is a good thing but dancing and singing with Gwyn is bad 😭😭 thank God i didn’t fell for the bullshit

Azriel and Elain have a laundry list of what I’ll call interactions. Rescuing her, giving her Truth Teller, listening to her gardening plans, wanting to taste her…

What they don’t have is chemistry.

Not even sexual chemistry imo. Nothing. It’s feels very forced.

Then we see just a small exchange between Azriel and Gwyn and the chemistry is off the charts and palpable in just that one little scene. And that was only a glimpse!

Four books of build up is meaningless if there is nothing under the surface.

Gwyn and Az are going to light the world on fire and I can’t wait to see it.

This is Nesta’s anthem

But Nesta rose from her chair. “This meeting is not over.” Even Beron paused at her tone. Fresh out of the Cauldron, already making high lords flinch: Nesta Archeron, queen of queens.

I NEED the redheads in the series (Gwyn and Lucien) to get their happy endings with their mates.

Why? Because they are the least problematic, toxic characters and these two redheads deserve the world. Also, these two redheaded fictional characters get a lot of hate over a ship war and I've seen some pretty sickening takes just because they are redheads.

Plus, it would be justice for those out there who look down upon redheads and call them names. Redheads deserve love and happiness to instead of the hate they receive.

Rhysand, talking to Az telepathically: Ask her something!

Azriel: How are you feeling?

Gwyn: Fine.

Rhysand, talking to Az telepathically: Something personal!

Azriel: At what age did you get your first period?

Rhysand, talking to Az telepathically: Too personal.

I’ve been thinking a lot about Gwyn with self-loathing and self-esteem issues. This is different (if connected) from her Sangravah feelings of guilt and unworthiness. Fans normally associate the self-loathing with Az, but I think post-Silver Flames Gwyn will feel inadequate on how she won the Blood Rite. Nesta knocked her out and Emerie carried her to the top. Nesta “sacrificed” her Carynthian status to defend her friends and fight Belius. Gwyn was (literally) dead weight.

For this reason, an important aspect of Gwyn’s journey is to stop feeling like a “fraud” Carynthian in comparison to her friends. In her mind, Nesta and Emerie deserve the titles more than she does (in particular it’s bullshit that Gwyn’s a Carynthian when Nesta isn’t). Of course her friends would think this feeling is nonsense — they don’t even care about the stupid Illyrian titles, they’re Valkyries! Gwyn was crucial in reaching Ramiel; it was a team effort to leave the Blood Rite unscathed, even if Gwyn needed her friends toward the end. But it’s human nature to wrestle with unreasonable and illogical feelings.

It’s bad enough that Gwyn already felt like an unworthy priestess and sister — now she’s adding Valkyrie to that list of fraudulent roles. I really think that in the Gwynriel book, the climactic battle scene will flip roles with Gwyn acting the savior. Not Az or Nesta or Emerie — only Gwyn, being badass/terrifying to save her friends and mate. Like when Nesta confronted Briallyn while Cassian was helpless under the Crown’s influence.

Re: Az, it’s interesting that they both suffer from unworthiness and self-loathing issues. I truly think they can help each other. Both can empathize what the other is feeling (even if it’s irrational), and both can vehemently disagree with that self-categorization because they see their mate so clearly. Az is a Carynthian and skilled warrior who’s been training Gwyn for almost a year. He’s especially qualified to assess Gwyn’s talent with weapons and strategy. Even if Gwyn won’t believe herself or her friends, Az’s professional opinion will mean something to her. 🥹

Az also has stories about his own Blood Rite — I can’t remember what happened with the bat boys, but I think Rhys was injured?

In ACOFAS, Cassian remembers that he “half-hauled Rhys up the slopes.” That makes it sound like Rhys was injured and needed help up the mountain, just like how Nesta and Emerie helped Gwyn. Rhys is the High Lord and the most powerful warrior among the three friends — it’s not a weakness to receive help from your friends to win the Blood Rite. I have a feeling Az (or maybe even Rhys himself) will share this story with Gwyn to put any fraudulent feelings to rest.

Another wrinkle is that Gwyn has to keep these feelings buried inside, letting it fester. Gwyn can’t confess to priestesses or Illyrian young women who view her as a role model and a hero for winning the Blood Rite. She knows how important and symbolic her win is — Gwyn would never want to cheapen her victory by admitting her inadequacy in front of other women. The Valkyries winning the Blood Rite has an opportunity to send shockwaves through Illyrian society (tbh I think this is the plot of the next book but that’s another post).

Gwyn’s emotions are entirely understandable, but bottled-up emotions are going to explode one day. 😭 I’m kinda scared to see how it’ll look when she erupts, but hopefully Az will be there to talk her off a ledge. 💔
