Just have to say I love this sub so much.
So nice to have a space to actually enjoy the main characters without seeing the strange hatred that passes for fans in this fandom. The IC makes acotar what it is and its why we enjoy it so much.
Bonus points that it bothers the haters that they can’t talk terribly about our IC in here 😂.
Just elain and azriel’s story being cute in a garden

For this one I wanted to do another silhouette piece and I wanted it to feel very witchy. Elain always has almost spooky vibes to me and with fall coming its the perfect time to draw this.
The owl calls to her story being like Blodeuwedds.
The fawn to her “innocent” side that makes people think shes nothing but a weak woman.
The bat for obvious reasons and for her stealthy side as she becomes a spy.
Character from A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah j Maas.

Elriel proof #6394638
This clip is from the acowar graphic audio.
This is as romantic coded as it gets no matter what the antis say.
Azriel cradles Elain and keeps carrying her even though they’re out of danger, she is not injured and hes ripped to shred and bleeding out. She then ignores everyone to kiss his cheek.
Some art for all the Cassian lovers out there ♥️

“If anyone can sense if somethings amiss, its a mate.” Clip merged with “the Cauldron made you a Seer.”
Putting these two clips together makes it even more obvious. No one can tell SJM just wrote these two scenes as a coincidence.
Azriel listened to Elain. Azriel asked questions. Azriel didn’t treat Elain as if she had gone crazy. Like Feyre said, maybe THAT is what she needs.
I decided to blend my two Elain and Azriel Night Court portraits and am obsessed with how they turned out. Their aesthetic is ✨ chefs kiss ✨* *

⬆️ Thats from the blurb for book 7 A Court of Forgotten Melody. The blurbs may seem vague but they actually tell us a lot.
What other reason would that be happening? and why would the IC, personally, have to be diplomatic about it other than Elain rejecting the bond?
Rhys and the Inner Circle would have to be diplomatic only if it involves one or two of them doing something to cause the issue.
I think by the end of book 6 either Elain will have rejected the bond or Lucien will have caught Elriel together, and called for a blood duel. You may say “Lucien wouldn’t do that!” But if he truly is feeling a mate instinct he absolutely would even if he doesn’t even want Elain. Or he could he manipulated into doing it by someone. Either way the blood duel is something thats part of the story and has been foreshadowed since acowar. It’s happening.
Just a fun theory: maybe Lucien calls for a blood duel after catching elriel together, and Elain runs off with Azriel because she doesn’t want either one of them dying and thats how elain ends up meeting Azriel’s mother cause they go to Rosehall to hide.
Thys in the bc and the blurb of book 7.
My running theory atm is Elriel are caught together and or elain rejects the bond by the end of book 6
I gotta say the blurbs actually have me MORE confident for elriel than i was before. Its giving rejected mating bond repercussions.
Sounds to me like the couples will all split off from the main group to find solutions and we will have multi pov.

Night Court Inner Circle portraits #3
Heres is my Elain portrait for my Night Court portrait series. I was saving this for Elain week but with how hectic the last several hour have been i need to post some art of my queen. And I will always have more Elain art up my sleeves 😉. Decided i needed to draw her with bangs after seeing my ref picture and i am kind of obsessed.🤩

“…but it wasn’t until Azriel arrived a year later that we decided to be allies.” Cassian’s grin grew as he reached around Amren to clap his friend on the shoulder. Azriel sighed—the sound of the long-suffering. The warmest expression I’d seen him make.”
Acomaf chapter 16.
I love this line and scene cause it shows us our first glimpses into Azriel’s personality and dynamic with the ic and bat boys and also why he gravitates towards Elain. He’s the introvert of the group, hes quiet and solemn by nature. We see over and over that its sometimes too much to be around so many extroverts like we see in the IC even though he loves them. We see this behavior with non family extroverts too, like Gwyn, he doesn’t match that energy at all.
So when he makes it a point to choose to spend time with Elain and seek her out it’s notable. No one is pushing him to do anything, it’s what he wants to do. It brings him peace to just sit and just exist with another person that matches his energy. Both he and Elain share the same stoic dry humour and quips most people wouldn’t even consider banter and its actually Elriels preferred kind. They are literally perfect for each other.
#2 of my Night Court portrait series for any Mor fans out there. Anyone dying for her story?
First time drawing her and really like how it turned out.

I was curious. Is there a specific artwork or artist that perfectly encapsulates how you visualize shane and ilya(if you share please credit and no ai)
Or
Do you think Connor and Hudson are the perfect representation and exactly how you pictured them?
I didn’t read HR until after the show so its hard to picture them as anything different
I pointed this out early and, honestly, it’s so true.
I have read HUNDREDS of romance novels. Many where you don’t even get the MMCs pov and you definitely don’t get any side characters romance povs. I have never questioned their love for each other. I have especially never questioned SJM when it comes to her characters endgames and attraction. None have ever shocked me.
EVERY SINGLE romance and romantasy book follows the same pattern and acotar is no different.
So why now am I supposed to question my own reading ability when it comes to Elucien and Elriel? Why now are basic romance writing tools and processes not correct?
I’ve never been surprised by an endgame pairing especially when it comes to sjm so why now am i just supposed to wait and see for elain and luciens pov and what she does with them after 4 books of very clear and obvious Elriel set up(and zero set up for elucien)?
I didn’t need nessians pov, i didn’t need amren x varians pov, i didnt need the side romances in CC povs, etc.
Certain shippers act as though the characters are sentient beings who just happen to not see each other enough so they don’t know each other well enough yet. They are written that way by their creator on purpose. If they were meant to be a love story i wouldn’t have to wait for 4 books for something. It would have started the second they met each other like elriel, like nessian, like feysand.
I was planning on doing a series of portraits to practice faces more so heres #1 and had to be Azriel of course.
Feel free to suggest a character to finish next!. Elain is done and waiting for elain week, and most of the ic is planned. But i think i will def do as many as i can.
