where will you sleep tonight?
Practise is over. Gwyn lets the music take her. The acoustics of the shower that Nesta asked the House for, amplifying the sound magically beyond the walls of the new locker room. Her voice carries down the halls, dancing up and down carrying love and warmth through the house, the house listening lovingly and naturally amplifying it. Azriel walks towards the balcony smiling his shadows dancing in front of him.
a black hole has opened deep inside me, its pulling at the sides of my chest, claws curling into my ribcage, void sucking in my heart and pulling all my organs into a tight ball somewhere deep inside. I know it won’t last, but the emotions pull at everything, my lungs try to escape with every breath halting as the anger comes in waves. I want to stop it but it feels like the only way to make this horror go away is to scream out all the air in my lungs until there is nothing left for it to devour.
The Eye of Elena re-imagined, with the iconography of Hecate and the triple goddess.
AKA - Renee Talks a little theory without sources... and ends up with more questions than answers....
Manon dipped her fingers into the muddy earth to sketch a shape.
A large circle-and two overlapping circles, one on top of the other, within its circumference. “That is the Three-Faced Goddess,” Manon said, her voice low. “We call this …” She drew a rough line in the center-most circle, in the eye-shaped space where they overlapped. “The Eye of the Goddess. Not Elena.” She circled the exterior again. “Crone,” she said of the outermost circumference. She circled the interior top circle: “Mother.” She circled the bottom: “Maiden”. She stabbed the eye inside: “And the heart of Darkness within her.”
- Empire of Storms, Sarah J Maas.
Eye of the Goddess...
Crone - Largest circle Mother - Top Circle Maiden - Bottom Circle Heart of Darkness within - Middle Black circle (iris) Is this a representation of 4 people in Throne of Glass and that Link they seem to have to each other?
What if...
Maeve is the first embodiment of desire in the universe. Like Eros from Chaos. Desire from the darkness/void/chasm. The reason she is able to pull attractive, strong males to her side is because she was born to do it.
Sorscha was a Witch - I know we already think that.
But I found some Scent stuff that might be interesting....
Manon of the Blueblood heir = “Manon was watching the tunnel entrance when she smelled the myrrh and rosemary scent of the blueblood heir beside her.” HOFp178
Dorian on Sorscha = “Looking at her, breathing in her rosemary and mint scent” HOFp419
Now it could just be because she is a healer and she uses these herbs but its still an interesting link to Sorscha having some sort of witch descent.
A New Acolyte
I wrote a thing, inspired by @bookofmirth ‘s question yesterday. So have a little something. I don’t know the correct term for it - possibly drabble? I like to think of them as Fragments, a snapshot of a moment in time. I might write more, I might not. oooooo mysterious. :D.
A New Acolyte.
The sun sets, the lights fade and all you are left with is a periwinkle twilight, with mauve filtering through the trees and the moon rising. Silver bells gently tinkling at your wrists. You hear whispers, wonder if you’re overthinking or that you’re imagining the hushed voices. Faeries don’t exist below the wall. It’s just your imagination. Yet - You dare not turn. You dare not look towards the sound. The bells ring as you tuck a stray curl behind your ear trying to admire the beauty of the fading light before you. Instead you start scanning through your peripheral vision hoping that you won’t see anything; and you don’t, until a shadow crosses your vision. Your Breath catches. The wind blows. Leaves fall in front of you; drawing your attention back towards the mooncast shadows on the path ahead. Your pace quickens and you resume your walk back to civilisation. Ting, ting, ting, the bracelet on your wrist sings, your pace quickening with each breath, while you chant one line over and over again in your head. I did not see a black shadow with white eyes, I did not see a black shadow with white eyes, I did not see a black shadow with white eyes.
I still think that the archeron sisters agency and ability to take action is dependent on the “time restrictions” placed upon them. Before feyre is taken I mean because everything gets shifted once feyre is in the spring court in acotar… past present future…
Nesta - death. The end. Can’t make changes because time has passed. Didn’t even take action. Just let things be. Total pessimist/realist. Sees things as they are. Can see through glamours. Looks back on the past a lot.
Feyre - present. Decay. Carrion. In the process of living. Can take action. Makes changes. Won’t stand by. Doesn’t search for deeper meaning. Doesn’t ask questions about the past or future in regards to her friends - side note: which I find very very annoying! Lives in the present.
Elain - birth, growth, flower child, seer, presenter of posibilities, unable to act because there are too many posibilities, too many options. Doesn’t make decisions because she can make them another day. Has other people make decisions for her. Looks to the future.
I think this changed over time in the books but it’s interesting to reflect back on…….

I wrote this up previously in a theory post but wanted to make it shorter so people could skim it- if your interested then search for archeron sisters on my blog and it should come up. 💕💕
In acowar rhysand calls feyre a conduit for him to put his power into the cauldron and repair it. To make it whole again.
What if in throne of glass something similiar needs to happen.
A being of light to be the conduit (aelin) but darkness to help seal it (the wyrd gate in this instance) - because darkness is infinite and won’t run out or some metaphor like that? (lorcan maybe does it? ). Even though they aren’t a romantic pairing their powers together to save everyone would be a story I could get on board with. So that will happen wherever maeve and them are.
Meanwhile aedion, lysandra will have a political battle to get back terrasen.
And Dorian will need to rescue manon from erawan because she is needed for something - perhaps a parrallel to aelin and lorcan is erawan and manon? I have no idea and nothing to back this up.
But it’s possible…
Especially if they are players in an unfinished game and all that jazz. 😉
And the gods have been down this path before…
