A little fandom observation.

By now, if you’ve read CC or HOSAB, you are aware that Ruhn, perhaps the most popular character in the series, was told by an oracle that he would be the last of his line. As in, he cannot have children, by virtue of sterility or death.

So isn’t in interesting that NO ONE, and I mean NO ONE, has ever proposed that he couldn’t end up with Hypaxia (previously) or Day (currently) due to his potential infertility.

No one said that he doesn’t ‘deserve’ love, that he doesn’t ‘deserve’ a family, no one proposed that he couldn’t potentially adopt, or be a great uncle. 

NO ONE.

Let’s compare this to Elain–who has NOT been deemed infertile by anyone in the book, who may or may not have had her anatomy changed by Nesta, and who may only have a 50/50 chance (or even less) of having a winged child. Elain, you see, doesn’t ‘deserve’ love, she doesn’t ‘deserve’ to be with Azriel, whom she wants and who wants her, she doesn’t ‘deserve’ a happy end. Not because something she did, not even because she was turned, but because potentially, she may have a winged child and does not have the ‘pliant bones’ to push it out.

Of course, Azriel, on the hand, just like Ruhn, absolutely, 100% DESERVES happiness and love and a family and must be with a female that will accommodate his happiness.

You see how crazy it sounds?

Yet people have absolutely no problem accepting both theories, and see no problem with them.

When I was young and Mor came out as sapphic/queer, I sat down and wrote an idea for a fic where Mor falls in love with a badass female Illyrian warrior. I also did my research for Feyre and Rhys’s kid name. It wasn’t as on the nose as fudgin’ Nyx. So one of my theories came true ☺️💚
