🩷Lucien when he saw Elain she was sickly if you don’t recall and he still thought that in that state she was breathtakingly beautiful. Cass even says in the two years he’s know her he never once thought of her as ordinary. As I said the list can go on and on. The king of hybern who hates humans reconized her beauty. Singled her out with it. The rumor of her beauty was making its way around Prythian even though hardly anyone had met her yet. 🩵With Gwyn Nesta said she was “taken aback” which means surprised. Why? Because she hadn’t noticed the true extent of Gwyn’s beauty until now. 🩷yes, Elain is described as being softer than her sisters. Quieter than her sisters. But that is not a reflection on her beauty. One is a character description and the other is a physical description. Saying she has a secret, or hidden beauty goes against what we’re canonically told. And if you have to go against canon to make your ship work.. then it just doesn’t work. Sorry 🤷🏻♀️ #BookTok #acotar #gwynriel #gwyn #az 🎨 kloartz, aokiart_, ginnystellerart
