The fandom needs to take into consideration how the main couple’s theme is connected to the overarching plot of the book. Balance. Az thought the shared darkness with Mor is enough. He had a disillusioned feeling of love and that was with Mor. Being with Elain now has garnered
what i don’t understand about those people is why would sarah start off with elriel, having the ic upset and the alliances breaking only for az to go to gwyn. it would be so random and elriel upsetting everyone all for nothing?
azriel KNEW elain felt the same way about him and this man wasn’t sure about a lot of things when it came to himself, but when it came to HER? he was SURE.
“So after Nesta had given Bryce the Mask, he’d walked up to Elain. Taken her beautiful face in his hands, waited for her whispered yes, and then kissed her. Deep and thorough, the way he’d wanted for so long now.He’d instantly wondered if he could die from it — that kiss…”
it is so unfair that no other character least of all any male character in the acotarverse has been subjected to this much amount of hatred that people feel for elain simply for not wanting to be with a man who makes her uncomfortable
they’ve diagnosed azriel with every kind of mental disorder known to mankind just because he called a woman he loves “his salvation”. psych wards won’t be able to accommodate them all in january i fear.
and how do you expect elain to reject the bond if her family time and time again remind her how important lucien is as an ally, they ask her to play nice with him, they invite him over, let him sleep under the same roof etc. imagine the pressure elain was under
