I think about him a normal amount
Nesta being treated like a feral, uncontrollable thing when:
a) Azriel attacks Eris at the high lord meeting and tortures people for a living
b) Feyre attacks Beron and - inadvertently - the lady of autumn at the meeting
c) Cassian is banned from a whole court and slaughtered a whole village when he was angry
d) Rhys worked with a tyrant for 50 years
e) Mor and Amren had a fight that destroyed a mountain
something something everyone helping each other through their scars something something you dont have to face your traumas alone your friends love you and want to help something something wally clocking mr manfredo rhonda repeating to wally that none of it was real charley picking up the deathplay football when wally couldn't keep a grip on it all of them staring down the table full of charleys and not letting him near the vending machine alone
something something I can't carry it for you but I can carry you.
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.
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.
Imagine just how popular the members of the Fellowship would be in Gondor and Rohan after the War of the Ring. They’re the heroes who saved the world, and the common folks look up at them in awe.
A few years after the end of the war, Legolas is visiting Minas Tirith when he hears a woman call his name. He turns around, surprised, only to see this stranger calling after a toddler running away from her. “Legolas, come back to mama!” she calls, over and over. There’s a baby on her hip who start crying, and she gently shushes her little Pippin. Legolas walks away, feeling wistful and wondering.
In Rohan, Éomer hears one of his men proudly announce the birth of his first child, a little boy named Merry; he smiles and congratulates the young father, making a mental note to write to Merry Brandybuck.
Gimli becomes a very popular name for little girls in Gondor, and this sends Aragorn and Legolas into hysterical fits of laughter. Gimli is unbearably proud of this fact.
Samwise and Frodo, too, become popular children names, no matter the gender, and especially amongst lower class folks. When Sam hears of the news, he turns red and sputtering.
Two decades or so after the war, Faramir almost has a heart attack when one of the new recruits of the guard of Ithilien almost sheepishly introduces himself as Boromir.
if mor was a girls girl she'd have yanked Cassian back and scolded him for bothering Nesta so much. idc if they're worst enemies or whatever but if I see a girl getting harassed by some guy after she verbally said to leave her alone, ESPECIALLY if it was my guy friend, I'd be putting his ass in his place for bothering her like ew why are u letting this man harass a girl when u were the subject of male harassment. girl ur an embarrassment to feminism and solidarity
the west wing is the best show ever because you wouldn’t expect to come out of a hard-hitting, critically acclaimed political drama with the ultimate found family trope, right? and yet the president is a complete nerd, his wife is scary and the top in their relationship, the president and his chief of staff are Dad 1 and Dad 2, the deputy chief of staff and his assistant are in a years-long emotional affair and everyone knows it but them, the communications director is grumpy as hell and you love him so much, the press secretary is tall, hot and awesome, the deputy communications officer is the gay son and the president’s aide is the human personification of a pleasure to have in class. and they’re all family and love each other very much :)
Just a small cafe on Corustant that sells bubble tea, but this place stand out from the others by sticker like"support the boys in white" or "not just soldiers" on the door. Also they always have "special offers" . These drinks are made to match the colors of different battalions or legions. Usually the drinks are white and the balls have different colors, but they add some syrup to make it taste more original. Sometimes they draw some symbol of these boys with the syrup. Wolfpack symbol was the hardest.
Part of the price of the drinks goes to the clone support organizations.
There is also a very decent discount for all boys in white.
In addition, there is an option when someone buys a drink in advance. It has a name but I don't remember it. But it's like
someone buys 5 some drinks, but seller just written it down and late five boys in white can get these 5 drinks free. The first time it happened, the boys were nearly to crying.
There, as in Starbucks, they write the name of the buyer on the cup. Clones are happy of that. The moment when boys hear their name is especially significant, because it comfirms they really have name one more time .
It is that rare moment when they can feel themselves like just people, not soldiers.
Just a ton of fandom things Star Wars, ACOTAR, HP, Marauders, LOTR, anything I might be into at the moment
