What I Find The Most Appealing About Our Baby Girl Gwyn, Is The Fact She's Both Gentle And Fierce? She

What I find the most appealing about our baby girl Gwyn, is the fact she's both gentle and fierce? She doesn't have the worldview Feyre and Nesta have, but she isn't docile like Elain.

Gwyn stands between both worlds, she's a girly girl but also a badass, she's cold (think her telling Nesta off for looking at her with pity) and warm (think everything else tbh), and honestly she's the most unique character sjm has written so far.

I don't know why but

Gwyneth Berdara is Van Gogh coded.

that's all I have to say.

I think I found something...

Chapter 52 of ACOSF

Honest question here, I'm not looking for a fight or anything, I genuinely just had this in my mind.

E/riels usually use that sentence "Elain smiled so brightly that even Azriel's shadows seemed to brighten up" or something along these lines to prove the Shadows like Elain.

But... they're shadows. Wouldn't "brighten up" mean they... disappeared?

It's a genuine question I swear, I'm just curious.

Gwyn's theoretical luring powers is used to absolve Azriel of any accountability for his actions (ala Necklacegate) because it's not a good look on him—so it's better to pin it on someone else by saying he was lured against his will so Elain can easily forgive him for regifting the necklace, and to explain away why he smiled imagining Gwyn's joy and burying the image of her joy in his chest after Clotho thanked him for it.

You cannot convince me any luring powers is for Gwyn's benefit and character development as much as it's a plot device to excuse Azriel's actions in the bonus chapter.

For a character that said she joined training so she makes sure she is never put in a powerless position ever again, some in the fandom sure love to place her in a powerless position either by knowingly or unknowingly using her "luring" powers or being controlled by Koschei or "evil" Merrill.

I'm posting a lot about Gwyn lately but...

Why did it become common sense that this girl is hyperactive?

I mean, we could see in ACOSF that she is a little bit... energetic, but every few days I see someone picturing her like:

And it's absolutely accurate.

My girl is up early in the morning for service (faithful queen (and I'm not even religious)) and then training, spends the whole afternoon working for Merrill (who has that whole "I want you to do all my work while I laugh at you" boss vibe), then goes to service again AND THEN she's like "well, I'm going to train at night as well, just because."

Honestly, Gwyn my love, are you alright?
