Ursoboring - Fandom Stuff Lol

Idk why Padmé was so upset about Anakin beating the crap out of Clovis like??? He just walked in on his wife getting sexually assaulted??? What did you think he was going to do??? And he blames himself for losing his temper and stuff, but dude there couldn’t be a better justification for blowing up. Even if he didn’t love Padmé and wasn’t married to her, a Jedi couldn’t just witness something like that and keep their cool! The injustice! Padmé clearly and deliberately told Clovis “No!” And he still tried to touch her in ways that were obviously unwelcome so thank you Anakin for being a good hubby and defending Padmé <<<3333

You know what? I want Valkyrie shenanigans. Give me Nesta, Emerie, and Gwyn debating if - no, not it - how long it would take to suffocate a man with their legs. Straight up, manslaughter by the power of thighs, and spite alone. 

Nesta is out of the running because Cassian distracts her too much. Emerie obviously would rather do something else with someone else. Gwyn is too competitive to let this go and she is a woman of science - she needs to know. 

Cassian snorts and tells her “good luck” - not quite picking up the chaotic determination she has. Enter Azriel, who agrees to be her sparing partner, and when she asks if she can try a new move, for curiosity sake, he allows it. He does not know what he is signing up for and his shadow didn’t snitch on their favorite girl. 

She’s pulling some Natasha Romanoff shit. 

Em and Nes find them in a very suggestive position but Gwyn is gleeful to have Azriel’s head locked between her legs, and she’s so close to literally sitting on is face, and she’s squealing. “ONE MINUTE AND THIRTY-SIX SECONDS! THIRTY-SEVEN! THIRTY-EIGHT…” 

He’s NOT tapping out - he’s not going to admit defeat - but he’s turning blue and he’s slapping her knee as he’s biting back whatever he wants to say. 

Cassian is standing behind them, shell shocked. Of ways to go, Azriel, is this really it, you kinky son-of-a-bitch?! Gwyn is so delighted to have this man on the brink of death - and Azriel is too stubborn to admit it. 

He’s literally flapping around like a fish out of water. He’s struggling and she’s not letting up. At this point, Emerie and Nes are blockading Cassian who’s pretty sure Azriel is too dumb to admit he’s out breath. The Valkyries want to see this through. 

Gwyn’s weakness? Tickling - and she’s screaming as he found her weak spot. She tumbling off him, crying in laughter, and he gasping for air, blue in the face. He’s glaring at the audience and basically same energy as this. 

Actual friendly reminders:

Gwyn was the first person to bring up the Valkyries. Without her knowledge, the Valkyries wouldn’t have re-emerged.

It was thanks to her friendship bracelets (blessed by the Mother) that Nesta, Emerie and her found each other in the Blood Rite and won.

It was thanks to her research on the ribbon that they were able to become Valkyries officially. In fact, Gwyn was the first to cut it thus becoming the first Valkyrie of the new generation.

Gwyn’s impact in ACOSF is bigger than people give her credit for. She’s not an irrelevant character at all.

dude waxer deserved better. i hope theres a universe where waxer is living on ryloth with that little twileck girl and boil

Okay so I’ve had the Gwynriel head canon for a while and I need to share it.

Imagine it’s “Family Dinner” for the IC and gang and they’re down at the River House

I mean everyone is there, including Lucien and Varian

(for the sake of the story and the fact that I’m a huge Elain/Lucien shipper let’s say they are together at this point)

They’re all eating and all of a sudden Feyre turns to Azriel

She then says “Hey Azriel, there is this girl in my art class”

(at this point the rest of the table shuts up real quick)

She then, with the help of Rhys, tells him all about this girl who they think is just perfect for him

But what no one at the table knows is that he’s been seeing Gwyn for almost a year (they swear they didn’t mean to make it a secret, it just kinda happened)

And Azriel has to tell them “she sounds great but I’m actually already seeing someone”

Dead silence

Then the room ERUPTS

(Let’s remember, Azriel only had feelings for Mor for 500 years, then another women who was unavailable. And this friend group also has absolutely no concept of privacy, so this would be big news.)

Cassian and Rhys are trying to be calm but they are effectively losing their minds

Mor is just grinning and hammering him with questions

As is Feyre

He eventually agrees to bring her to Family Dinner™️ the next time they all get together

So the next day he tells Gwyn

She is understandably very nervous, but excited to officially meet everyone

(Of course she already knows Nesta and Cassian, and she’s met Mor a few times. She met the rest of his family very briefly at Nesta and Cassian’s mating ceremony but that’s it.)

She then insists they have to go shopping so she can find something to wear, since all she has is her priestess robes and training leathers, she also has that dress she wore to Nesta’s mating ceremony but she’s meeting her partner’s family, it’s a special occasion

And it’s not like she can go with Nesta or Emerie without raising alarm bells

So Azriel goes with her

And she has to look perfect, she insists she can’t overdress and she certainly can’t underdress, not when she’ll be dining with the High Lord, High Lady, and the Morrigan

So she eventually finds this dress that she thinks is just perfect

She tries it on and shows Azriel and he is blown away

“You look so beautiful Gwyn”

He says a bunch of other cute shit

Needless to say she buys it and heads back to the House of Wind with Azriel

The day of the dinner, Gwyn is surprisingly calm

Azriel on the other hand is freaking out

I mean he is so nervous

He knows he is in love with Gwyn, the way he feels about her doesn’t even come close to how he felt about Mor or Elain

And she’s about to meet his family

When they get to the River House, they’re the last to arrive

They stand outside together for a moment, Gwyn can tell he’s nervous

She comforts him somehow idk

They walk in, hand-in-hand and are greeted by a grinning Rhys and Cassian standing in the entry way (á la Cassian and Azriel meeting Feyre in ACOMAF)

And Cassian busts out laughing

Rhys just stares, eyes wide

Once Cassian recovers, he says “Oh Nesta is gonna be so pissed I found out before she did”

Rhys, ever the gentleman, steps forward and shakes Gwyn’s hand, introducing himself

They chat for a few minutes before heading into the living room, where everyone else is

Nesta is the first to see them

She looks right at Gwyn and says “oh you bitch”

After somewhat awkwardly introducing Gwyn to everyone, they all sit down for dinner

The group grills Gwyn with questions

They chill out after Gwyn says something that has Azriel burst out laughing

Long story short they all end up loving her and are very happy for the couple

And if they notice his shadows are more lively around her, they don’t say anything

I have so many Gwynriel headcanons so let me know if anyone wants more

I love the relationship between Nesta and Azriel so much. They are so parallel to each other and the endless patience and maturity Azriel directs towards Nesta is refreshing, especially considering how all the characters (including her mate and sisters) were so emotionally ignorant and unaware.

When it was said that:

Azriel never said a bad word about Nesta. Never seemed inclined to start a fight with her.

I knew that they would be close for a long time. But more importantly, the fact that his kindness wasn’t just a new development in ACOSF but was his standard way of interacting with Nesta from the start.

Almost everyone in the IC approached Nesta poorly or with questionable intent or bad mouthed her amongst themselves. Rhysand and Mor would often insult Nesta behind her back (though Feyre actually did reprimand Rhysand that one time) and even Cassian judged her the first moment he saw her.

But never Azriel. Azriel who saw Nesta and never said anything cruel to or about her. Azriel who never saw the point of fighting with her. Azriel who really saw her and treated her with the respect and patience she deserved.

Notice how throughout the entire series, the only amicable relationship Nesta had (besides Amren…and only up to a point) was with Azriel. One thing about Nesta is that she never starts fights but she will stand her ground and finish them. Every interaction between her and the IC is her defence or retaliation to the wrongdoings done by others. Hence her good relationship with Azriel.

I hope to hear more about them in the next books. I think Azriel could teach his court a few things too.

When I waited in anticipation, for two years, for Season 2 of The Bad Batch, never for one moment did I think it would result in my partner chanting ‘Let Tech fuck!’ whilst eating breakfast.

When you think too deeply about silly haha ghost mystery drama show and remember it’s literally a story about children that died. Kids, some of which weren’t even old enough to have a driver’s license, who didn’t even get to graduate yet, that died traumatically or were brutally murdered and now have to spend the rest of eternity haunting the halls of the school they never got to leave, watching generations of other kids get to grow up when they’ll never get to. They were only high schoolers, man 😭

Okay but I want Azriel to be absolutely head over heels for Gwyn in a way that the other Bat Boys weren’t for their mates (before they got together).

I want Az to become a blushing mess when Gwyn compliments him. (Or even just smiles at him)

I want Azriel to go from “blank face, unreadable, scary shadow singer” to absolutely beaming when Gwyn walks into the room.

Give me the whole inner circle being confused because he’s so relaxed and comfortable around her and LAUGHS (which before ACOSF we had seen him do once, maybe twice) out loud.

(“He’s only known her for like 6 months guys, what is he on?”)

Give me Azriel being completely at ease and visibly relaxing when she walks in the room.

Give me nervous Azriel because “oh my gosh she’s right there and I think she’s looking at me oh my word she’s so perfect.”

Give me Cassian and Rhys subtly teasing him about Gwyn and his face turning bright red.

Give me Azriel getting nervous to ask her to dinner but willing to be straightforward with her because even though it’s terrifying he’s willing to face the chance of rejection (literally something he struggles with, ya know, the whole “I’m not good enough” thing) if it means he also has a chance to spend time with her.

I want this man to be absolutely head over heels for her and and for everyone to be aware of it.
