Rowan on the battlefield: Where's Aelin?!
Lorcan: *points to the most chaotic fight happening at the moment*
Aelin, Lysandra, Ansel: *raising absolute hell chaotically*
Fenrys: Yeah, that's where she is
Not even kidding, this is an actual scene from Kingdom of Ash 😭

i really like how all the characters in the assassin's blade returned later in the series. i feel like most prequels were published after the series, but the prequel for throne of glass wasn't. the assassin's blade wasn't just a prequel providing some context about celaena/aelin's backstory or simply some of her adventures, but an introduction to some characters from celeaena/aelin's past who return and have importance to the plot. ansel, who i originally dismissed as just a character who was meant to affect celaena/aelin's character development, came back as the queen of the wastes and an ally to aelin. i thought aelin's trip to the red desert was supposed to be for a mentor type of experience and for her to discover a little bit of honor and morals she has left. in reality, it was also meant to introduce the reader to the silent assassins, provide a bit of backstory, and give a reason why they had a life debt owed to aelin. i think sarah j. maas plans out the plot very well and has so much foreshadowing i (stupidly) dismiss.

I feel like we need to talk about how easy it is to ship Elide with women
Manon and Elide? The blueprint, would’ve been married if Manon was a man, Manon learning to let people in and Elide finally having someone who is on her side and won’t act like she can’t defend herself
Lysandra and Elide? Flirty x has never been flirted with, they are the photo with the one girl on top of the other putting makeup on the girl under her
Yrene and Elide? Soft wives, the two of them slowly growing closer when Yrene is working to help Elide with her ankle and becoming comfortable with each other until everyone around thinks they’re dating when they’re not
Ansel and Elide? Elide surprising Ansel with her secret sharp tongue and and the two of them bantering with each other, they judge people at fancy parties
Asterin and Elide? Asterin allowing herself to love again and let herself open up to Elide, who learns to lower the walls she’s kept up to protect her against the cruel world they live in, Asterin could spend days praising her smart gf
Nesryn and Elide? Intimate touches when Nesryn teaches Elide to shoot a bow, Elide learning to bake so she can make pastries that remind Nesryn of home
Listen, Elide it is so easy to ship with women it’s insane

Ansel and Celaena lay on their backs on the side of a dune and stared up at the stars.
Her hands tucked behind her head, Celaena took a long, deep breath, savoring the balmy night breeze, the exhaustion ebbing from her limbs. She rarely got to see stars so bright—not with the lights of Rifthold. The wind moved across the dunes, and the sand sighed.
"You know," Ansel said quietly, "I never learned the constellations. Though I think ours are different from yours—the names, I mean."
It took Celaena a moment to realize that by ours" she didn't mean the Silent Assassins she meant her people in the Western Wastes.
Celaena pointed to a cluster of stars to their left.
"That's the dragon." She traced the shape. "See the head, legs, and tail?"
"No." Ansel chuckled.
Celaena nudged her with an elbow and pointed to another grouping of stars.
"That's the swan. The lines on either side are the wings, and the arc is its neck."
"What about that one?" Ansel said.
Tumblr media
"That's the stag," Celaena breathed. "The Lord of the North."
"Why does he get a fancy title? What about the swan and the dragon?"
Celaena snorted, but the smile faded when she stared at the familiar constellation.
"Because the stag remains constant—no matter the season, he's always there.
"Why?"
Celaena took a long breath.
"So the people of Terrasen will always know how to find their way home. So they can look up at the sky, no matter where they are, and know Terrasen is forever with them."

(Actual) FRIENDLY REMINDER
Ansel never forgot that extra minute. She tried to save Celaena from Endovier. She pillaged Melisande for Aelin and then hung up Terrasen's flag beside her own to mark the territory. She raised an army for Aelin and was willing to try and raise another.

scrolling back through my assassin's blades notes and i found this gem:
[ansel telling celaena about what happened with the witch]:
"See, there was this archway that went through the bottom of the watchtower—so you could see through it to the other side of the hill. And one of the stable boys told my sister that if you looked through the archway on the night of the summer solstice, then you could see into another world" (pg 162)
hey sarah bestie what does this mean

the celaena and ansel storyline in the assassin and the desert has the exact same energy as when you’re a closeted queer girl growing up and you have that one vaguely homoerotic intense friendship with another girl as a teen that ends in absolute flames lmaoooo

Remember that one time Aelin was uncomfortable with the idea of Mikhail being around 10 years older than Ansel…
Tumblr media
But then went on and married a Fae who was over 300+ years old? 😂😂
