Ship them, or don’t, their friendship is so important and impactful for both of them.

As someone who started reading throne of glass in 2017, I really, really want elucien to be endgame. And if this was any other author, I wouldn't have any doubts about elucien being endgame. The only reason I'm worried is because doraelin was also supposed to be endgame in tog, and you can definitely see hints toward it in the first few books. It wasn't until HoF/QoS that stuff was retconned/ignored so that the endgame pairing could be switched.

Again, I'm a MASSIVE elucien shipper, so I'm still holding out. And tbh, I highly doubt sjm would make Lucien suffer that much; he is one of her favorite characters, after all. I mean, the poor guy has been through enough already.

This is not hate toward SJM at all; just pointing out that she's diverged from the original plans for her stories in the past.

TOG ships as Taylor Swift Lyrics

Presented by @timesconvert and Shallyne

Rowaelin - So, baby, can we dance Oh, through an avalanche? And say, say that we got it I'm a mess, but I'm the mess that you wanted // I loved you despite deep fears the world would divide us

Chaolaena - If I’m on fire, you’ll be made of ashes too // if I’m dead to you why are you at the wake

Doraelin - Sorry that I hurt you, I don't wanna do, I don′t wanna do this to you, I don't wanna lose, I don't wanna lose this with you

Rowanlyria - I've got a lot to live without, I'm never gonna meet What could've been, would've been, What should've been you

Samlaena - I never thought we'd have a last kiss, I never imagined we'd end like this, Your name, forever the name on my lips

Manorian - Devils roll the dice, angels roll their eyes What doesn't kill me makes me want you more // he looks up grinning like the devil

Elorcan - Just grab my hand and don't ever drop it, My love, They are the hunters, we are the foxes And we run

Chaorene - This love is difficult, but it's real, Don't be afraid, we'll make it out of this mess

Lysaedion - Get me with those green eyes, baby, as the lights go down, Give me something that'll haunt me when you're not around 'Cause I see sparks fly whenever you smile

Nestaq - If you fail to plan, you plan to fail, Strategy sets the scene for the tale, I'm the wind in our free-flowing sails And the liquor in our cocktails

I’m rereading the TOG series and I completely forgot that there was a possibility of Dorian and Aelin being betrothed as kids,….. like can you imagine if Dorian ‘completely out of fucks to give’ Havilliard and Aelin ‘if I cannot find trouble I will create it’ Galathynius had actually been married in a no valg au??????????? RIP their parents who would’ve died of stress induced heart attacks lmao

The fact Aelin immediately thinks about Dorian after Arobynn says this and not Chaol or even Aedion… god, she loves him so much

my favorite ships:

dorian havilliard and aelin galathynius 

— throne of glass (2012 - 2018)

they were infinite.

they were the beginning and the ending;

they were eternity.

[many-fandoms-never-too-many]

So, I decided to read Queen of Glass to try and soothe my Doraelin heart and I'm kinda not satisfied.

To start off, I read Throne of Glass in middle school but never got around to reading any of the other books. Later on, in highschool, I decided to go in the Tumblr tags to see what was going on with the ship specifically and I found out that she'd switched love interests (more than once). It was disappointing but not as disappointing as if I'd gotten the other books and kept reading with the hope that they'd end up together. And I know that you really shouldn't base your enjoyment of books just based on who the character ends up with (even if there's multiple love interests involved, which I don't like reading anyway) but I was attached and I'm not one to ship one character with multiple people, even though I can recognize another good pairing.

I knew about Queen of Glass and was always curious about reading it but I just never sought it out until today. I really don't remember what stirred up my feelings over the ship again but it started off with me once again looking through the tag on Tumblr and reading everyone's thoughts. People's perspectives are different so I'm curious about what happens in the first 3-4 books specifically since apparently those books are Queen of Glass split into different parts, with some obvious changes. It seems like people believe that she changed the course of the story in book 4 but with other things I've seen/read it seems like Doraelin died in book 2. Anyways, it was super late at night and I decided to skim through Queen of Glass (which may have contributed to my dissatisfaction). It was surprisingly emotional for me and I'll definitely go back and read it all but there was something major that made me emotional and a little unsatisfied: Chaol and Aelin.

I know that Chaol and Aelin are a thing, if only for a little while in the books. It pained me the first time to read that she gets with Dorians best friend and their relationship goes farther than theirs ever would. One time, I went to Barnes and Noble, got curious, opened Crown of Midnight up to a random page, read her and Chaol happily sneaking off together, and immediately closed the book. When I went into Queen of Glass, I knew something was going to happen between them but at first, it was just a one and done thing. She's struggling with her feelings toward Dorian and in an attempt to convince Chaol (and herself) that she was NOT in love with him, they end up sleeping together. Lust overtakes Chaol but he sees through her and they both agree that while they care for each other, they don't love each other and this was a way to release tension. Ultimately, this brings them together closer. Later on, things change a bit. After she leaves, becomes Aelin, and decides to make her return, Chaol has a vision of a possible future in which they're married and have a family. It reminded me a bit of Re:Zero. There's a line during his premonition that says, "There would have always been that regret, that knowledge that she had chosen for herself rather than her country" and besides the fact that "What If" stories like that tend to make me cry, one of the thoughts that immediately came to my head was that Chaol was her one true love and my feelings over Dorian and Aelin ending up together were dampened immediately. As I'm writing this I can see how Dorian and her would still be meant for each other, even with the inclusion of that scene (and another scene I'll talk about) but when I read that it just made me very sad. A phrase that went through my mind was "Maybe we just aren't meant to be". At the moment, I felt that she only had to be with Dorian for the greater good and not for her own personal happiness or what would be the best path for her. Later on, there's a scene where they're talking and she thinks "She looked at him then, her heart still struggling to maintain the illusion that it was whole and healthy, and knew that she could have loved him. She knew that she should have loved him from the start of it all, and that this whole time he had been right for her". Now tell me that ISN'T alluding toward some unfulfilled true love.

Maybe, I'm just an incredibly emotional person (and I'm on my period) but, I don't know, it really hit me deep. Maybe, it's just because I'm not equipped for these types of romance stories. I do think it's a thing about differentiating the characters feelings and what the author's trying to convey. Just because a character is experiencing certain emotions and has certain thoughts doesn't always mean that it's a reflection of the author's feelings. Sometimes, the author's just trying to tell a story. My perception of how things were between Chaol and Aelin in Crown of Midnight also plays a role in how I think about this. It really seems like she completely shifted the focus from Dorian x Aelin to Chaol x Aelin in the second book, although I could be wrong (like I said, I've only read the first book and have heard/read things about the other ones).

I don't really know what I'm trying to say with this, honestly. I think I'm just trying to get my feelings out and maybe seek some sort of comfort from people who are still in the community. Like I said, I'm a very emotional person and I think I've thrown myself off a bit. I'm seeking a bit of fulfillment, if you can understand, that could probably be fulfilled by reading the books but I just can't do it. It sounds a bit babyish but whatever. I think it'd be cool to hear other people's perspectives on it, especially from people who actually have knowledge on the subject I'm talking about.

[stardust-in-her-eyess]

so I’m currently rereading tog and I’m on crown of midnight and I am very shocked by how much chemistry aelin and chaol really did have in the beginning. watching them slowly let their guard down and especially noting how she turned down dorian, who actually was fully accepting and shared the same beliefs, but stayed with chaol because they had more of a chance since he was essentially in a more realistic, lower role than a prince. I love the chemistry between her x chaol but her x dorian will always have a special place in my heart. I wish so so much dorian knew she was aelin and she had let herself accept who she was. from day one dorian has shown up for her and accepted her and SEEN her.

I know he needed to grow into himself and mature since he’d been so sheltered in a way but how do we ignore him feeling “like a king” beside her and how he didn’t know what it was like to be a man but he felt like one beside her. FOR her. and I know we later see dorian comparing how she looked at chaol in a way she never looked at him and we even see in her thoughts how she was so into him but she just had such a mental block bc he was to be king and it would be a problem…but bestie ur to be a queen?? I know she was running from that part of herself but I’m very mad we were robbed.

I’ve seen so many people calling them brother and sister-like but I simply got that vibe bc of her mental block. They could have been more.

Switching things up with some Dorian x Celaena fluff. Art credit @mellendraws

My take on what happened the night Dorian stayed with her for hours. Fluff and some semi steamy smoochin 👀

“Thank you,” she whispered, “Thank you for not being what I expected."

His lips parted as he let out a long breath, his eyes were dilated.

"You're not what I expected either.”

POV: Chaol loved the image of Celaena, when she loved him dearly…hmmm really?

It makes me angry when I see stans claiming that Chaol never loved Celaena/Aelin for who she trully was, when she also wasn't sincere in her actions bc lets be honest… Celaena didn't chose Dorian bc both of them are related at some point (Doraelin sucks). When it comes to Chaol she chose him only bc he resembled Sam with his facial features. If she really loved Chaol she would pick him bc he IS Chaol Westfall and not bc he looks like Sam

Sometimes I get on TikTok and see people talking about how perfect all the couples are in tog and I can tell they’re new to the series like…yall weren’t here for the great velvet wrapped steel/rataelin discourse of 2016-2017 😭 we were coming for each others throats waiting on EoS.

I’m sorry if you’ve already been asked this but how do you feel about Manon?❤️

I am now and forever a Doraelin truther. In my heart, I know I'm right and they're happy together. And because I know I'm right, that means I'm also right about Manon and Elide being together and in love, too.

No one will ever convince me otherwise, I know what I know.

#im so sorry but i dont believe manon likes men and i never will #i read her opening pages and while i also agree dorian is hot hes not like #THAT hot you know?

[theladyofbloodshed]

I know you don’t ship Doraelin but SJM really made Celaena go to Dorian’s room for comfort because “she had nowhere else to go” and Dorian telling her “then you will always have a place here”, made Dorian 1.5 seconds away from giving up his title and wanting to tear the world apart for them to be together, made Celaena promptly forget she was even with Sam because it was like she and dorian were the only people in the room when they danced, made them infinite, and expected me to root for the bird????

Sjm stop changing your mind challenge
