cassian instantly ready to help when he thought nesta said elain need protection from lucien. mor thinking of rhysand first on the list of people who would kill her for taking elain away….. already the most protective big brothers
elain is getting hated on now because she said she and mor are beautiful. this fandom is so fucking unserious 😭 elain could breathe and y’all would be like “oh my god, another reason to hate her.”
For all the women in this fandom who are misogynist and want Elain to grovel for a man who she doesn't want, I hope you know I wish nothing but hell on you. We in 2026 and you think like this do fucking better cause you no better than a man.
Nesta also enters a scrying trance while listening to the priestesses sing in ACOSF. So we already know music can interact with magic. I’m not saying the shadows are literally lost sisters—just that they might recognise a power tied to their origins.
I think Azriel’s shadows might be reacting to Gwyn’s magic, not necessarily a mating bond. In the ACOSF bonus chapter, a shadow dances with her breath like it hears music. In ACOSH, they rush towards her while she sings.(THEORY THREAD)-
In ACOSH, Clotho says the Song of Returning calls lost sisters home, but Bryaxis answers it too. That made me wonder: if the song can reach a being like Bryaxis, could ancient priestess music also reach Azriel’s sentient shadows?-
I know the shadows reacted to Gwyn before ACOSH. But the song is an old tradition, and we don’t know when Clotho recovered that specific melody. Maybe the shadows already recognised something in Gwyn’s voice, even without the ritual.-
The quotes are getting darker and pinker with each post. I think Azriel’s quote will be the last one, having the darkest shadows and the brightest pink, symbolizing Elain as the light that guides him out of the darkness.
He was death, and she was life. His salvation.
