Happy Birthday My Sweet Imaginary BFF Aelin Ashryver Whitethorn Galathynius, Queen Of Terrasen.

ok this is impossible but what if Eris ask his mother where she wants to go and she's like... "Day Court".

Or like LoA's just like "Take me to the High Lord of the Day" and Eris's just like cAlLeD iT

Can we get more headcanons?💕💕💕

SURE THING. This is more of one big headcanon that I may or may not turn into a fic, idk.

-Once Beron is unalived, Eris is freaked out when he realizes how many courtiers and foreign dignitaries are after his MOTHER. She’s beautiful, graceful, and has been proven to be fertile, so these powerful gross dudes descend on the new high lord like locusts, negotiating for her hand in marriage.

- Eris is like (ง'̀-'́)ง “leave my mom alone u freaks” but the badgering doesn’t STOP.

-LoA decides to take an extended holiday to ease the pressure on her son and to give him a good, nonviolent excuse to turn down the aggravating courtiers who want to visit and bring gifts.

-Her grand tour of Prythian has been carefully planned so that she visits Summer, Winter, Dawn, and Night. Spring is out of the question because of the monster bear man person having an existential crisis, and as for Day…well. LoA’s courage is failing her in this one, tiny regard.

-This all goes completely tits up, of course. LoA arrives at Summer and Tarquin is like…uhhh yeah, so we are actually on our way to Day to stage an intervention because Helion is being a drama queen and is looking for a bride so that he can get an heir. It’s turned into this whole contest where all these ladies from every court have been competing with each other for WEEKS while Helion peacocks around and doesn’t make a decision.

-LoA: INTERNAL SCREAMING

-She asks to tag along because there’s no avoiding the fact that she’s going to have to tell her ex that he does, in fact, have an heir and he’s going to have to tell his new wife “hey just kidding” when she expects to be the mother of his next in line.

-She’s not sure what she’s expecting when she gets there, but it’s actual CHAOS. These women are just absolutely savaging each other for the chance to get alone time with the High Lord, who is mysteriously absent. There have been incidents with hair being cut in the middle of the night, belongings being set on fire, and cat fights during brunch. LoA is horrified.

-Exasperated, she hunts down Helion in his hiding place, intent on telling him to come out and deal with this buffoonery. She has to stifle her joy at how 💀💀💀 he is when he sees her. Instead, she absolutely lays into him for creating such a spectacle with no intention of carrying through. She’s so exasperated that she asks him why he doesn’t just pick one who is happy and willing to be the next Lady of Day and have done with it.

-Helion tells her quietly that she knows why. LoA tries DESPERATELY to harden her heart so that she can take him to task and then tell him about the grouchy red headed surprise she has for him.

-Loa: 😡😡😡

-Helion: 🥺🥺🥺

-Anyway, it all goes tits up (again) and they make out. LoA is like “I really need to tell u something” and Helion is like “sure okay later” and OH BOY is that going to be a fun conversation.

-All of the contestants for Helion’s Bachelor season are disappointed, but quickly cheer up when they notice Tarquin, who flees the scene screaming.

ToG spoiler alert

I do not accept the fact that Aelin lost her powers forging the lock and banishing the Gods. As far as I’m concerned, Aelin still has her full powers. Humph.

Azriel and Elain parallels 💜💙

i feel like sjm is writing a romance novel, so it makes sense that elain ends up with azriel because three sisters and three brothers and everything. but she might also just make azriel end up with gwyn and elain with lucien just for funsies.

who knows? i certainly dont. it ms sarah janet mass. at the end of the day, we'll still eat up whatever she writes and beg for whatever crumbs she offers us

but in the meantime, ill entertain myself with the anti (whomever you dislike) tags and wait for the agonizing five years it takes for sjm to finish two books to be over

YOU ALL I JUST FOUND OUT THAT JOHN GREEN WAS DRIVEN OFF TUMBLR SEVEN YEARS AGO AND TUMBLR LOST ONE OF ITS MOST HUMOROUS PERSON TO A C0️⃣#ᴷ POST

you all horny childish idiots....

well @chloegong we called it

BUT JULIETTE AND ROMA MONTAGOV 😭🥹😩

im not even gonna-- im just gonna say my mouth was open the entire time i was reading this and i cant deal with anymore of this sjmmmmm 💀

HOSAB Spoilers

While I'm reluctant to make too many claims about what House of Sky and Breath might tell us about upcoming books in the ACOTAR series, I think it does make one thing clear: Azriel's book is next.

Let's start with the obvious. Azriel is the one who finds Bryce (HOSAB, 793), and he's the one who wields Truth Teller, the twin weapon to the Starsword (HOSAB, 796).

Anyone who could winnow or fly could have found Bryce at the end of HOSAB. We would have recognized Cassian about as quickly as Azriel, and can you imagine if Feyre had be the one to find her? I don't think that with this moment, SJM was going for the fan screams. I think she was foreshadowing, and I think it's likely that Azriel was uniquely able to detect Bryce's presence, which could have enormous implications.

I know that Nesta will likely be an important character in this arc because of her ability to locate objects Made by the Cauldron, but it's notable that she isn't highlighted in the final chapter of HOSAB. Her powers will come into play, but perhaps they're not central.

Moving on to Truth Teller, we know from House of Earth and Blood that the Starsword needs to be reunited with its twin knife (HOEAB, 458) in order to reunite the Fae. This might mean the meeting at the end of HOSAB, or it could mean more, particularly if Bryce needs to take Truth Teller back with her to Midgard. It could mean that Azriel has to travel with Bryce, or it could mean that Bryce just needs to take the knife with her. If she takes the knife, though, she will likely need to bring it back... especially since it's Azriel's, and this is a character who sleeps with a dagger under his pillow. Either way, this involvement is going to have some impact on his arc. At minimum, Azriel somehow got this very special blade in his possession. It marks him in some way. But it could mean even more.

After all, Bryce has to travel through worlds sometime in the course of the next book, whether to Hel, Midgard, or back to another planet. What we don't know is whether she will go there alone. While any ACOTAR character who can winnow seems like a potential candidate for traveling with Bryce, assuming that that power can link up with the Horn, Azriel seems the likeliest because, as Nesta and Cassian point out in ACOSF, his ability to winnow is different from that of the other characters:

"Illyrians do possess magic on one night a year, though: the night before the Blood Rite, when the war-band leaders can winnow the drugged novices into the wilds. Don't even ask me why that is. No one knows." "Azriel can winnow all the time, though." "Az is different. In a lot of ways." His tone didn't invite further questioning. (ACOSF, 191)

Is it possible that his unique method of winnowing, which, based on ACOMAF (240) and ACOSF (349), seems to be tied to being a shadowsinger rather than the usual winnowing power in Prythian, could make him an ideal candidate to travel with Bryce, with her connection to the Avallen fae?

In terms of knowledge and motivation, there are only a few characters in ACOTAR who seem particularly interested in other worlds: Rhys, Amren, Merrill, Gwyn, and Azriel. Cassian points out Rhys' and Azriel's interest early on in ACOSF (37), Amren has a vested interest and firsthand knowledge of other worlds, and Gwyn is helping Merrill research her theories of other worlds (154). I think it's reasonable to assume that these characters are going to be important during the Bryce-in-Prythian arc.

Incidentally, I also think that this is another subtle hint that Azriel and Gwyn are going to be drawn together more in the next ACOTAR books... but let's assume that happens in ACOTAR5, not in what I think will be Bryce's relatively short stint in Prythian.

Finally, in ACOSF, we see Azriel's "shadows curled around him, snakes ready to strike" (101). In HOSAB, SJM describe's Ruhn's shadows in a similar fashion, writing that, "His shadows swirled up his left arm like twining snakes" (57). Not only are their powers similar (though Azriel's abilities are more like Cormac's with the shadows + winnowing and no daemati abilities), but SJM uses the same metaphor to describe them. She wants us to see this.

While Bryce directly compares Ruhn and Rhys, we know that Rhys' arc in ACOTAR is more or less complete. He also has the bargain with Feyre that leaves him vulnerable, making him a bad candidate to go to other worlds or lead an army. Azriel, meanwhile, feels more disconnected from the Inner Circle (see: his bonus chapter in ACOSF; there are no page numbers, alas!) and, as spymaster and Carynthian, is able to gather information while being an active warrior. There are a lot of possibilities for what he could do! Even if it's just passing along information while he hands Bryce Truth Teller.

In terms of other similarities, this is how Bryce describes Azriel's wings: "Great, black wings. A demon's wings." (793) This evokes Hunt's description of Apollion's wings: "Wings rustled nearby -- not the soft feathers of his wings, but something leathery. Dry." (237)

We know that Bryce needs to go to Hel, and we know now that Hel is not a literal hell but rather another world (758). The comparison between Apollion's wings and Azriel's/the Illyrian's isn't an accident. Since we are likely going to see Hel in CC3, this similarity is likely to be important.

Given all the mysteries that swirl around Azriel, his possession of Truth Teller, his interest in other worlds, and his connections to some pivotal characters in HOSAB, it seems really likely that CC3 is going to set up his arc in ACOTAR5. As SJM once said... it seems pretty obvious.

the last one was unnecessary 😶😒
