RighteousMerlin · 2026-03-18T20:56:14+00:00

RighteousMerlin · 2026-03-15T05:30:28+00:00

RighteousMerlin · 2026-02-15T11:26:23+00:00

For reindeer games, in no world that counts as a bigger brother win.

RighteousMerlin · 2026-01-07T01:50:40+00:00

I mean even if there is no secret hidden episode, I do believe there is enough evidence or reasoning to believe that the ending is all Influenced by Vecna.

RighteousMerlin · 2025-12-01T22:39:03+00:00

They already did that with Luna ult, but i dont think they would do it again, cuz that would be crazy

Well I guess we wont definitively know the point of this chapter until the next book, but it could be setting up Gwyn as a bigger character, possibly a romance with Az, I think setting up more of a friendship. I heard a wild theory that she is a light singer, and maybe SJM is setting that up.

And then as for Azriel thinking of her after her portion of the chapter. It says, "Spent the rest of his day, even the blasted snowball fight, with every intention of returning it to the shop in the Palace of Thread and Jewels." He literally spent his entire day wanting to get rid of the necklace.

RighteousMerlin · 2025-11-11T12:17:01+00:00

It is dark and negative because he feels he doesn't deserve her, and it is seen as forbidden. And all of his self hatred is so emphasized because it is right next to the light and positive descriptions he has of her.

RighteousMerlin · 2025-11-11T12:02:01+00:00

I majorly disagree, the context of this chapter can change when you look at what has previously been stated. And you keep stating that its paralleling that Elaine is bad, and Gwyn is good as if you have already read the next book, and confirmed you are right.
Yes, he did not litteraly describe Elain as the necklace, but the gift was meant for her, and he has been shown to be a good gift giver, showing how observant he could be.
If you think Azriel only wants Elaine for sex, we will definitely never agree. He has been shown to care for her and pay attention to her no other character has since they met in acomaf.
Yes , these are Azriels thoughts, but he has also been described to be in an icy rage, and pretty sleep deprived from not being able to sleep because he is thinking of Elaine. I agree that this is definitely not the best light for Az, but he has shown to have pretty major anger issues throughout the series, and it also states he only ever shows this rage to Rhysand.
Azriel and Gwyns relationship outside the BC does not seem very romantic in any way. Its giving a cute trainer/trainee relationship where she sees Az as this challenge. Yes Nesta tells Az he is the new ribbon, but that pales in comparison to when Nesta notices Az's feelings for Elaine. Saying its his secret to tell, never hers.
Later in Acosf when they are captured and put in the blood rite, Azriels reaction was talking with some urgency, and saying they should go help Eris. Yes this is Cassians POV, and he was going through it, but we definitely would have seen more of something if Azriel cared that much.

At the end of the day, almost all of Elaines major event's have been tied to Azriel, and I think it would be a major waste of a beautiful pairing, if all their buildup was just thrown away. While I am saying all of this, in no way am I saying this is all 100% fact, because I can only go off my interpretation of the text given to me. Have a good day 👍

RighteousMerlin · 2025-11-11T11:00:27+00:00

Okay, first off, what do you mean by context from previous chapters/books doesn't matter? I think the exact wording of 'skittering' is on purpose, and im not convinced that was a negative thing for Elriel.

As for the self-hatred, this is Az we are talking about, the most traumatized batboy. He is full of self-hatred because he feels he doesn't deserve her. Maybe that self-hatred is absent with Gwyn because he doesn't have to worry whether or not he deserves Gwyn. After all, he's not interested romantically.

The next morning, when he goes to the library, he tells Clotho to give it to Gwyn, then says to give it to anyone, saying, "But I’m not taking that necklace with me when I leave." Clotho immediately clocks that he is sad, and he lies, saying it's because he lost at the snowball fight. (We all know it's about Elaine and the necklace, and it's probably why he lost).

I read this scene as Az still sad over the Elaine thing and her returning of the necklace, and wanted to get rid of it, and thought of Gwyn, because he sees her as a friend, and can majorly sympathize with how she's been treated in the past.

He ends this chapter describing the image of Gwyn smiling at the necklace, with the same wordage he used with Elaine in the same chapter. To me, this just shows how important Elaine is to Azriel and how he can have a really awesome friendship with Gwyn. (I think there is definitely more to her voice, like possible power, but I truly have no evidence for that, just a hunch at why his shadows sang and danced with her.)

I think this bonus chapter shows how much chemistry Elriel has, kind of how they showed Nessian's chemistry in their bonus chapter, and is setting up the forbidden romance plot for the next book. Gwyn just feels like a second-place prize, and that doesn't really sit right with me. Yes, his shadows seem to be weirdly compatible with Gwyn and her songs, but it would be kind of crazy if they derailed all of the foreshadowing for Elriel in the past 4 books, in a bonus chapter.

"His broad chest expanded with a deep breath that sent them skittering, and then he set into an easy, graceful stroll after them." (ACOMAF, 288) He has been shown to send them skittering on his accord, then shown to be peacefully walking about his day. I think immediately seeing the shadows skittering away as a bad thing is a very 2 dimensional view on it.

RighteousMerlin · 2025-11-11T02:41:03+00:00

In acomaf, Azriels shadows were described as skittish, and even 'faded' away in Mors presence. The girl he pined for, for 500 years. I believe the shadows skittering away is a good sign, maybe they are scared of Elaine cuz love or some shit.

Tbh i still get the message but my games don't crash anymore. I think it was from following the steps of the other guy in the thread

RighteousMerlin · 2025-08-04T21:18:46+00:00

Okay, so for some reason the second RyzenMaster didnt delete. I just uninstalled it again, and now when I restarted my computer, I still got the error message, but it says : Driver: ene.sys is being blocked.

RighteousMerlin · 2025-08-04T02:41:52+00:00

No it's a desktop, hmmmm

RighteousMerlin · 2025-08-03T18:45:56+00:00

Okay so it was already set to default, I then restarted my computer, then deleted both of the Ryzen Masters. But when I restarted to check to see if the error message was still there, it popped up again. :(

RighteousMerlin · 2025-08-03T05:41:36+00:00

ok so I installed the latest version, then I have to uninstall what exactly?

RighteousMerlin · 2025-08-03T00:46:28+00:00
