The comparison between Zane (Jean's temporary partner) not protecting Jean from Grayson when it was needed the most versus Neil (Jeanâs âmisplaced forever partnerâ) immediately getting rid of Grayson the second he finds out he hurt Jean.
i just think that jean neil is such an interesting dynamic because itâs like if neil had stayed & ended up in the nest, would there have been any romance between them?
codependency yes, some form of love, yes. but would it have ever been romantic?
i also love it because we know that neilâs trust issues predominantly come from having to run everywhere - thus if he was in the nest, would he have been more trusting with jean?
also they donât even dance with HER they dance with her breath. âlike some silent musicâ
kind of gives the impression that thereâs something about her voice thatâs the important aspect of her right
iâm sorry if iâm being a little asshole about this ship lately but people piss me off
What so many Gw*nriels fail to acknowledge or realize about the whole âshadows dancing for Gwynâ thing (which was ONE shadow curling with her BREATH), is that we never see the shadows react to her again.
The BC happened in the middle of ACOSF, not the end. After that, Azriel continued to help the Valkyries (including Gwyn) train. There was also the entire Blood Rite plot.
And through ALL of that, not once have the shadows ever âdancedâ for her again. They did not react to her presence at training. They did not react to Gwyn being in danger in the Blood Rite. Theyâve done NOTHING for her.
The only time theyâve reacted was with her breath. Not before and not since. And we already know from Nesta that when Gwyn sings Nestaâs power reacts to it, and Gwynâs presence seems to change/glow.
Only. When. She. Sings.
Sheâs a lightsinger. Or some sort of siren.
And at first I didnât understand why so many Gw*nriels were against the lightsinger theory, since it would just make Gwyn cooler/more interesting.
But then I realized without that singular shadow âdancingâ, and that somehow being a sign that the shadows ~love~ Gwyn and that her and Az are matesâŠthey really donât have much. đ€·đŒââïž
regarding guilty as sin and a certain subsection of the fandom attempting frantically to connect it to their ship, gwyn is a single lady with literally no ties at all what could she possibly be guilty about. and if they did date it wouldnât be secret trysts it would just be a love story.
yk who does have something to be guilty about? elain. the one with a mate she doesnât like. & yk what pairing would have secret trysts because their love is literally forbidden, as per rhys, their high lord? elriel.
i keep thinking about jeanâs POV of riko going to hit neil.
in aftg, neil is so focused on riko coming down with his racket to hit him that it seems like andrew comes out of no where to save him but i love that jean sees it. and itâs not like he just moves out of goal or anything, no, he HAULS ASS to get to neil to save him. that to me says everything. i love them so bad
the best part about being an artist is making the shit you want for yourself so pls enjoy my poster sketch based on this weeks episode bc i literally cannot stop thinking about it

âIâm sorry. Iâm sorry that he hurt you, Iâm sorry that youâre still afraid to talk about it, and Iâm sorry that you think Iâll never understand. Iâm sorry that he tricked you into thinking you deserved it."
saying âfree elain archeronâ just for her to end up shackled to a different, debatably even more toxic court (your words, not mine) is not freeing elain archeron.
âbut heâs day courtâ you all know thatâs not what youâve been saying.
also also also. jean straight up deadnaming neil until the moment riko dies and then switching to neil... the implications... jean the cage is wide open my love. take a step out of it
