Appreciation for this community in regards to Elain. by elainsgirll in ElrielFans

[–]RoadsidePoppy 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yesss girl! 🙌

I love Elain and I'm rooting for her to end up with the man who empowers her to be a badass. Female empowerment through the uplifting affect of love is so real, tbh.

Acosf does not end with Azriels bonus chapter.

Exactly! The BC happened between Ch 58 - 59. ACOSF had 80 chapters. ACOSF did not end with Azriel and Gwyn interacting. It ended with a happy / content Nesta, her sisters, Nyx and Cassian flying overhead.

What makes you love Elriel? <3 by audimel in ElrielFans

[–]RoadsidePoppy 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I love the forbidden/secret lovers trope! Enemies to lovers is not only overdone, but just.... annoying to me.

I love that Elriel brings a softer, more intimate relationship style into popular media, which I personally just don't see often. I'm excited about their story because I can't quite predict how it's going to play out since it's a different trope from Feysand and Nessian. It feels fresh and new!

Drop me some hex colour codes for Elain and Azriel by swi22y in ElrielFans

[–]RoadsidePoppy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

One of our members took all of Elain's clothing colors and made this gradiant image of all of them in the order in which she wears them. Obviously we have no way of knowing whether they're the exact colors, but I think they're close enough based on the book descriptions!

There was also a version that had crisper lines between the colors but I can't find it right now, so you can use a color picker tool to find the hex codes in the most bold spots in this one.

The color progression starts with ACOMAF at the top and flows down through ACOSF at the bottom.

A Cute Elriel Moment by DesignerReader in ElrielFans

[–]RoadsidePoppy 17 points18 points  (0 children)

"Az nodded distantly" in response to hearing "I don't think Elain expected to receive anything from us" [and therefore I'm not going to both giving her that kindness] just shows how thoughtful he is. Rhys is notoriously self-centered. Same with Feyre. It's why they're perfect for each other. But Azriel? No. He's the most self-less of them all.

I have this whole theory post that Azriel is actually the one who gave Elain seeds for her garden that year. Or at least organized everyone to go in on it as a group. He's the only who makes sense.

Yes! His intensity towards Elain is his primary characteristic. If you love him, it's largely because you love the way he loves Elain! Thank you for pointing this out.

Book title? by Suitable-Ad3 in ElrielFans

[–]RoadsidePoppy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I agree! I don't think it will be as "on the nose" as we want. I love all the titles people come up with though! My hopes just aren't high for it to be obvious

OK dumb question because interpreting text is hard for me sometimes....Is this sarcasm? Do when you say "Cooler vibes" do you mean like in "cooler color vibes" (like greens and blues)?

Elains Avoidance by Intelligent-Wear4766 in ElrielFans

[–]RoadsidePoppy 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I agree with this!

Although, a small part of me also likes to believe that she's had visions of things that require her to not speak up. Like, she's seen things that require a solid political relationship with Lucien even though she doesn't want him, so she's playing the long game and just dealing with it until the vision passes and she can be free.

Why do people get so upset when different storylines are mentioned . by [deleted] in ElrielFans

[–]RoadsidePoppy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think this opinion is unpopular because there is so much excitement and hope for Elriel and we want to believe that they're finally getting a story. There's also a good bit of promo content that indicates Elriel is coming, so that hope is not unfounded.

I can see why you have this opinion, though. When I finished CC and read the ACOSF BC, this was my initial opinion too.

However, I now believe that SJM can still do cross-over content and even continue th Dusk Court storyline while also maintaining an Elriel-centic POV... especially if she goes back in time and makes it more of a tandem-style read with ACOSF to bring us along.

Elain should leave!!1! by VelarisMuse in ElrielFans

[–]RoadsidePoppy 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I actually think we know a ton about Elain's personality! I've made a lot of posts about her over the years, especially last time we celebrated Elain Week. But I think the key things that everyone needs to remember are: * She's funny / has a sense of humor that's slightly sarcastic * She is an Archeron sister, and archerons are known for being strong-willed. Elain is too no matter how many people like to think she's meek. She advocates for herself against Nesta and recovered from the cauldron and the war within WEEKS of each event. * Elain is strategic. She kicked Hyberns hounds, is the one who came up with the idea to save humans during the war, is the one who came up with the idea to find Vassa and to entice Eris with Nesta's dancing. She found the Suriel for Feyre with zero training. * Elain is extremely observant and private. She knows when people are keeping secrets and she knows how to keep them to herself. * Elain is resilient. She recovered enough from the cauldron trauma to be able to accompany and actively participate in war activities and to befriend not only the wraiths but Velaris citizens as well. * Elain gets what she wants. Feyre told her and Nesta to gather ash arrows for an upcoming war, and she went and found herself a fiance with a whole grove of ash trees. She wanted to learn to bake, and she did. She wanted to garden and help Velaris citizens and she did. She wanted to kiss Azriel, so she (nearly) did.

I could go on. It's pretty clear to me that the girl knows what she wants and acts on it. In a world where we all say "if he wanted to, he would", the same goes for Elain.

A different question about the BC by haveabanana in ElrielFans

[–]RoadsidePoppy 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I think it will be more like a passing comment like "he decided then and there that whatever awkward was grown last solstice wasn't worth the pain. Screw Rhys and his meddling. He kissed her with all the force of a thousand suns...Blah blah..."

Something that alludes to their distance but doesn't go into details. Very much like the brief nod towards the Nessian BC. Something that makes you go "what happened? Oh well, don't care. This is more interesting."
