Elain X Azriel - Tumblr Posts
Elain, holding truthteller: I've got a weapon, and I'm... admittedly very afraid to use it!
Elain x Azriel: W.T.F.
SCROLLING THROUGH TUMBLR AND SEEING ELRIEL FANFICTIONS HAS ME SHOOK!
Wait! People ship Azriel and Elain!? NO! WHAT!? WHY!? Lucien deserves the happiness and purity Elain will bring to his life (they're totally end game) and what is the whole mating bond for then!? I know the bond can be rejected but-- but-- but-- THEN WHAT ABOUT MOR!? 500 years of sexual tension for what!?
Azriel just emits big brother vibes towards Elain...just why tho... I get they cling to each other but it's a protective soul bond (IK THAT SOUNDS EXACTLY LIKE WHAT THE MATING BOND IS BUT NO) just-- like calls to like and--*stunned silence* I have never hated any ship more in. my. life.
LET ME RECAP:
Yes.
Yes. That was cute. That was adorable. That is what they are.

“But Mor...I’d been blind not to see it. Not to realize that there was a damn good reason why five hundred years had passed and Mor had not accepted what Azriel so clearly offered to her.” pg 592
ME TOO FEYRE ME TOO
okay, but can we appreciate that even in a society where for example Helion and Thesan and Nephelle are openly gay Sarah J. Mass still depicted how difficult is it can be for others especially lesbians to come out and be out and live their lives, especially in powerful positions?
Also, I think I’d be okay with Azriel and Elain, because Azriel can be kind and soft and Elain can kinda sing his demons to sleep (HA! shadowsinger? you see what I did there ;) ) and I need someone who we trust to take care of our baby Elain, but only if there was no mating bond. Because how can Lucien really commit to another relationship with that tug always there?
Rant on the mating bond coming up

Thought:
okay...I don't think that anyone should use anyone to heal..but maybe that's what these characters need...just love and time and interaction... I mean Az needs to heal over Mor and Elain is the exact opposite. Elain was broken and healing then torn apart again and is trying to piece herself back together into whoever she is, in fact, shes still discovering who that is and maybe she needs someone who is just there for her and supportive. And Lucien's first lover after the one his father slaughtered shouldn’t be Elain, I mean she’s just gone through her own shit and can’t really handle all that baggage...so maybe Lucien and Vassa and Azriel and Elain are just temporary steps on a road to recovery and end game OTP’s?

wait...did I just get through 3 whole YA fantasy novels in the same series without someone important dying (and staying dead)...what is this feeling? You can write a YA book without killing someone I love? My world is altered...I have been lied to...all these authors causing me unnecessary pain--I--
I see exactly where you’re coming from. However, the point about Elain being overwhelmed by Azriel is debatable. Maybe he needs that softness and kindness to really heal. Maybe he needs that change from his sarcastic tough friends. Elain has been through crap too and her powers have let her see alot and in A Court of Frost and Starlight, Elain is shown to be so much stronger than we first thought and healing way better than Nesta. So maybe she can handle it? And I’m not going back on what I was saying...or maybe I am...shit... I still don’t think they’re ready for a romantic relationship period, certainly not together, definitely not now, but the point to be made is everyone needs to heal themselves before trying to go around healing everyone else.
“Let him live with his Band of Exiles. Let him live with deal with Tamlin in his own way. Let him figure out where he wants to be. Who he wants to be. Same goes for her,” Mor to Feyre on the subject of Lucien and Elain A Court of Frost and Starlight Pg. 168
I’d totally love to see Lucien finally find home somewhere (or with someone hint hint)...I mean his little band of ‘The Exiles’ is really the only place he’s ever really felt excepted, I mean even in the spring court Tamlin and him had an odd relationship and Azreil has his friends already, but in ACOFAS it didn’t seem like Elain was warming up to Lucien any time soon and ever since we’ve learnt the mating bond can be rejected I think that’s what we’ve been leading up to...you know?
This series more than makes up for its lack of character deaths in odd and confusing relationships and blurry plot destinations...I’ll give it that.
