Me when Celaena showed up and not Aelin

I always thought they were the same person, knew it so certainly that halfway through CoM I googled “is Celaena Aelin”

aelin is so real for being a bookworm

The difference between Aelin and Feyre is that if they lived now Feyre would be a mafia wife, but Aelin would be the mafia boss

Aelin to arobynn

SAM

AAGGGGHHHHHH

Reading the Throne of Glass series and I wish I had had these books when I was younger. It's everything I ever wanted in a character. A sassy badass lady assassin who isn't written with a hatred for her sex and all things feminine. She's just *chefs kiss*

"she'd kicked a man's balls into his throat, and when he'd caught his breath, he'd been enraged, to say the least."

"What a shame that the current owner of the Vaults, a former underling of Rourke Farran and a dealer of flesh and opiates, had accidentally run into her knives. Repeatedly."

Me realising that the masked men are dorian and chaol

The fact we never got a nox-aelin reunion haunts me to this day

i’m just a reader

standing in front of an author

asking her to STOP TORTURING MY FAVORITE CHARACTERS

*sob*

*deep breath*

in other news, i just finished chapter 48 of Heir of Fire

Aelin when she’s meeting with the lords of terrasen

You know what tiny thing just broke my heart? I read The Assassin's Blade for the first time today. Just after a reread Queen of Shadows and Heir of Fire.

I was struck by the passage in TAB where Celaena refuses to let Sam use her lavender soap. She remembers it, even when she goes down into the dungeons to look at his body. He still smelled like him, even the bad soap because she hadn't let him use the lavender one.

Something tickled my mind, so I went back to QoS to check. Aelin hands Rowan her favourite lavender soap immediately. He is bemused, but uses it anyway. And that's before she offers him Sam's clothes to wear.

She remembered. I think she regretted that she'd been selfish in a time before with someone she loved, and didn't take that chance this time. She let Rowan use her soap. Because she hadn't let Sam.

Rereading Throne of Glass and I never caught it before, but Cain knew Celaena was actually Aelin, and I feel like the only way he could possibly know that is because he was the one who killed her parents and chased her through the woods. How else would he know about her waking up between her dead parents. 

Ok, I've already spent time wildly speculating about this random scene from ACOWAR where Feyre is struck by a memory of her "Prince of Merchants" father and a lapis lazuli pendant "from the ruins of an arid south-eastern kingdom, where the Fae had ruled as gods"...

So imagine my surprise when I come across this scene during my reread of HoF. Lapis lazuli mentioned specifically, along with gold, in the decoration of a knife that came from Eyllwe and was purchased from a merchant from the southern continent...

Both the memory and presence of these items seem to inspire uncontrolled, but visceral, memories for both Aelin and Feyre.

I've talked at length about the significance of lapis lazuli in particular (and what it could mean for these items), but mostly I'm here to say... "That's suspicious."

Heir of Fire, Chapter 34 & A Court of Wings and Ruin, Chapter 43

It’s the worst when i’m reading and my eyes wander ahead and I have to continue like i didn’t just spoil something for myself.

or when i look at fanart and see something i shouldn’t
