“I am the surf against which the rock crashes” - Gwyn How do you deal with anxiety? I think one of the biggest things I loved about acosf is that it’s the best representation of trauma, mental health, and healing in ya/na fantasy fiction that I’ve ever read. It accurately depicts so much and I can truly relate, not only with my girl Nesta, but with Gwyn and Emerie too. Since I quit my job, I’ve been dealing with horrific anxiety and it’s been SO hard. I use reading as a means to escape and have read way too many books this year bc of it but that’s definitely cheaper than drugs hahaha. Anyway, I guess I just really wanted to say that no matter where you are in your mental health journey, I wish you the best. Whether you’re a Nesta/Gwyn/Emerie at the start of the book or you’ve become a Valkyrie, I am proud of you. Keep reaching out your hands, my babes. 🖤 Character owned by @therealsjmaas Photography by @lumenoxphotography #gwynethberdara #gwynberdara #gwynethberdaracosplay #gwynberdaracosplay #gwynriel #gwyncosplay #acotar #acomaf #acosf #acosfcosplay #sarahjmaas #sarahjmasscosplay #bookish #bookishcosplay #bookcosplay #bookcosplayer #bookcosplaycommunity #cosplay #mentalhealth #lumenoxphotos #nzphotography #cosplaygirl #anxiety #mentalhealth https://www.instagram.com/p/CdshbBlLYrv/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
Hi! I'm from being on tumblr reading you all but not much of being active. I just wanted to stop by to leave you guys what AI gave me when I used Azriel and Gwyn's descriptions!!!! I feel like they're perfect, (taking Az's ears off of course) but wow 🤩 I love them.
I just finished the ACOTAR saga and I'm getting into the amazing universe that Sarah J. Maas has given us, currently reading CrescentCity
I'm very Gwynriel team although I have nothing against Elain, I feel like we still haven't gotten to see what her character can give us...
So #Gwynrielsupremacy #Gwynethberdara #Gwyneth #az #azrielshadows #shadowsinger ♥️
Imagine gwynriel, nessian and Emorie going on a triple date to the beach.
Nesta and Cassian spend the whole time making sandcastles. They bring out each other’s childish sides and try to make the biggest sandcastle they can. At some point they’ll start throwing a ball and chasing each other around the beach. Nesta brings the symphonia and gets Cass to dance with her on the beach. they are the first to beg their friends to get ice cream.
Emerie and Mor spend lots of their time in the water. Just swimming up and down and splashing one another. Em loves being in the water because it takes the weight off her wings. Mor likes to parade her bathing suits and also loves the refreshing feel of water. They end up swimming very far away from their friends and have to walk the entire length of the beach as the sun begins to set.
Gwyn and Azriel spend their day lounging in the sun. They of course take a dip in the sea - Gwyn feels very at home in the sea due to her nymph heritage - but they both revel in the sunlight together. Azriel has his wings splayed out on the shore, absorbing as much sun as possible while Gwyn cuddles into his side, either with her hand placed over his chest or with a book in her hand. Both of them have experienced the prolonged feeling of darkness so they savour the feeling of sunlight on their face. They defo fall asleep on the sand.

Summary:A carry on fic from where HOSAB left off so if you haven't read HOEAB and HOSAB read with caution as this fic will contain spoilers.
This isn't a fluffy story of perfect rainbows, this is the story before the colours arch and meet in the clouds. This is the story of what happened before, when the sky is permanently grey, miserable and bleak.
This is the story of how Gwyneth Berdara became.
Expect angst, violence, despair, hurt, longing and a morally grey Valkyrie turned assassin that isn't all what she seems.
AU Gwyn Aesthetic
(song: If I Fall You’re Going Down With Me, The Chicks)
She walks with lazy purpose, lips smiling and cherry red. A sweet summer breeze dances across her bare legs, plays in her hair. The young man on the corner, pressed tight against the sun bleached bricks, hands in pockets, short sleeves rolled up, hair slicked back, knife at his belt, watches her sway to a song he swears he can hear. Their eyes catch.
“You can’t take back every little chill you gave me, you’re going down with me baby, heart and all,” she sings as she passes, eyes the color of the sea, gleaming at him with repressed mischief.
"Do you sing?”
He blinked. It wasn't every day that people took him by surprise, but..."Why do you ask?"
"They call you shadowsinger. Is it because you sing?"
“I am a shadowsinger it's not a title that someone just made.”

Over the last few months, Gwyn had become friends with almost the entire Inner Circle. She had even made a new best friend, Elain. And it was all because of a necklace.
It was just gonna be a simple lunch at the townhouse with the Inner Circle. Gwyn was getting ready in her room in the library. Azriel knocked at the door repeatedly and said, "C'mon Gwyn we're gonna be late", "I KNOW" she shouted back.
She then quickly wore some earings and was just heading out when she saw the necklace on her dressing table. Clotho had given it to her a few months ago but Gwyn had never dared to wear it. Well, now she was daring and so she wore the necklace.
As soon as she opened the door she saw Azriel's hand midair, just about to knock again. "You look great" He said, "I know" Gwyn replied and they started walking out of the library. They reached the balcony and Gwyn put her arms around Azriel's neck.
Azriel instinctively put his hands on her waist and didn't even give a warning before shooting in the sky. "WHERE THE HELL ARE WE GOINGG" Gwyn shouted but her voice was muffled as she had hidden her face in Azriel's neck.
"Berdara, let me remind you. Just yesterday I heard you telling Nesta that you liked flying-", "IT SCARES THE SHIT OUT OF ME", "Ahhh and that too, so now, we're going to get that fear out of you"
"I'm not scared of flying dumbass, I'm scared of falling" And as soon as Gwyn said that she realized her mistake. She then finally looked up meeting his stare, and watching a devillish grin spread across his face. "Az.... NO", "Do you not trust me then?" Azriel asked with a serious expression but Gwyn could see the mischief in his eyes. "No it's not that" Gwyn said sulkily and Azriel smirked again.
"You're gonna let me go aren't you?" Gwyn said, already knowing what was gonna happen. "Of course Berdara, but I'll catch you" He said with a seriousness that Gwyn could not understand. Gwyn grumbled a little "fine" And Azriel shot up even higher. Before Gwyn could even take back what she said, Azriel let go of her.
"AZZZ, CATCH ME DUMBASS" She shouted from way below Azriel. Azriel just stood in the sky with his wings flaired, and didn't try to hide the grin on his face when Gwyn shouted some pretty colourful curses from down there.
And just when Gwyn was about to hit the ground, Azriel scooped her up in her hands and landed safely in front of the townhouse. "You son of a bitc-" Gwyn was just about to complete her statement when Rhysand coughed in front of them. Gwyn's eyes shot to Rhysand who was smiling slightly. Gwyn's cheeks reddened and her eyes widened. From the corner of her eyes she saw Azriel trying to stifle a laugh. "The lunch is gonna begin, we were just waiting for you both." Rhysand said turned around and gestured them to follow him.
Gwyn then punched Azriel in a stomach which made his knees wobble a bit and he his hands clutched his stomach. Rhys turned around and asked, mischief dancing in his eyes to at the sight of his brother clutching his stomach, "Is everything alright?" He asked.
"Couldn't be better" Azriel replied and stood up straight. Rhysand then continued to go in the dining room and Gwyn followed him, but not before saying this in Azriel's ear, "You're a dick". She could have sworn she felt Azriel smirk from behind her and even she couldn't help the small smile tugging on the corners of her lips.
