Hello! I'm Asikaia! I love reading, playing video games, drawing and writing. My favorite books (if you haven't guessed by looking at my blog) are any Sarah J. Maas books, and many many more, my all-time favorite video game has to belong to Skyrim (although Horizon: Zero Dawn is really close). If you want to find out more about me, I have a Wattpad under the same name, where you can also find my stories! And, if you haven't guessed, my favorite artist is Halsey.

Still a TON of work to do and stuff to fix, but the first sketch for my Mucha Inspired Inner Circle piece is done! :)
NOPENOPENOPE. ROWAN CANNOT GO TO MAEVE
Okay, so, I was reading @aelinscourt theory about Empire of Storms and how it came true and everything right? So one of the points made was about how Maeve is all about control. Maeve wants CONTROL to the nth degree. Guys. Maeve has Aelin. Who, in this world, would Rowan do anything for? Would Rowan sacrifice himself for? Would Rowan TAKE AN OATH FOR?! What if (and I hope to the gods this doesn’t happen?!?!??) Rowan finds Aelin and Maeve and binds himself back to Maeve to set Aelin free? OR somehow, Maeve like agrees to stop torturing Aelin and just keep her prisoner as long as Rowan agrees to work for Maeve again?
So, I am the person who when I'm not even fully into the Beginning of a book, I'll go and read the last paragraph on the last page. So when I did this with ACOMAF, and I read, 'So the High Lord of spring unwittingly lead the High lady of the Night Court into the heart of his territory' (or something like that) I was like, "Tamilin, what did you do this time'. At the beginning. and when I finished it I was all, 'Fuck you Tamilin! Go Feyre! Kill him!" That shows how much my veiws of him had changed.
Accurate. I'm re-reading ACOMAF and every mentioned of him has me trying not to throw the book at the wall.
so, I was re-reading ACOMAF and I found this right when Feyre and Rhys are going to the prison- "Isn't that all you males are good for, anyway?" When Rhys asks Feyre if she enjoyed this sight of him kneeling before her. This is amazing because at the time I read this, it had been a few weeks after finishing QoS and I didn't get it.
GODDAMNIT! WHY IS THIS FANDOM SO SAD???
He hardly recognised her. They were her eyes, it was her hair- as limp and dirty as it was- and it was her face. But it wasn’t Aelin.
She was curled up in the corner of the cell- if it could be called that- her back to the wall. Her eyes were open, but they were not seeing him.
‘Aelin.’ Rowan whispered, crouching down. ‘Please.’ He had been here for minutes now, minutes too long, and each passing second was another second he could be caught in, caught and dragged up to Maeve, to be used and tortured for her own fun and to hurt Aelin more. ‘I would prefer Celaena to this. Please.’
He had seen her broken before. Seen her drunk and lost and hurt. But none of that- it was nothing compared to this. When Aelin had gone last time, there was Celaena, the mask that hid everything while flaunting it in others faces. But now, even that mask had been cracked beyond repair.
This was his mate. His mate, and he had no clue what to do to help her. In all his years, Rowan had never felt so helpless.
An alarm sounded above them, raised voices, and Rowan clenched his fists. This was expected- in all honesty he thought they would realise he was there sooner- but he had thought he would get in, grab his mate and leave again. He didn’t expect…this.
‘Aelin.’ He tried again. ‘Fireheart.’
A blink, and he thought it was a reaction- until all she did was roll over to face the wall.
Her back.
He couldn’t take his eyes off her back. She had lost so much weight, and he had seen the new scars and bruises that covered her arms, had seen the rags that barely passed for clothes. But her back.
He had known her scars by heart. Each one had been a reminder- that she had survived, she had survived and found him and was strong. But those scars were now hidden by newer ones, harsh red lines that were barely healed. He had kissed every one of her scars one, and they had gone.
‘Aelin.’ His voice broke on the word, and he hated himself for it. Because this was his fault. She was his mate, his wife, Queen of a court that wanted-needed- her back, and he hadn’t protected her. It should be him in the cell, not her. ‘We need to go.’
Slowly, as if every movement caused her pain, she put her hands over her ears.
She didn’t believe him. Didn’t believe he was actually there- how many times had she cried out for him to rescue her, how many times had she thought she had seen his face, heard his voice, when it wasn’t real.
He was as much a torturer than Maeve, in her head at least.
He rested his head against the bars, his hands gripping them as if he could pull them apart. He wished he could, but he also wished it was Maeve head in his hands that he was crushing, breaking, ruining as she had Aelin.
He never thought he could truly hate Maeve. But now… He would break her entire court apart for revenge. For Aelin.
‘Rowan.’
He shut his eyes, pulling himself back together before standing and facing the other fae male who once had been a sort of friend. Until this. ‘Fenrys.’
‘She knows you are here.’
Maeve knew everything that was going on in her realm. ‘So are you going to drag me back up to her? Whip me like you have my Queen?’
Rowan might have been imagining it, but he was sure the other Fae flinched. ‘You know that wasn’t me.’
‘You didn’t stop it.’ A snarl.
‘How was I meant to, when she ordered me to stand still and watch? I did everything I could to help her.’
‘It’s not enough, Fenrys.’
A pause, the males staring at each other, refusing to be the first to look away. Then:
‘She ordered me to find you. Not to bring her back.’
‘It would have been implied. Or she’s watching to see what you do.’
‘I don’t care.’ His jaw tightened. ‘I don’t care. I was with your queen long enough, Rowan, to learn to care about her. She was more a friend to us than we have had in…forever. So I don’t care.’
‘Then let me take her away.’
‘I can’t.’
‘Another order?’
‘Yes.’ Fenrys frowned. ‘But…she didn’t say I couldn’t.’
If Rowan could, he would have smiled. Years ago, none of them would have gone against Maeve’s word, implied or not. Yet now…they were all doing what little they could. He didn’t know what was worse; them following orders and being safer, or them rebelling and getting punished. Fenrys would suffer for this…but Aelin came first.
‘Bring her to me.’ Rowan laid out a plan carefully, telling the other male to meet him after sundown. ‘And Fenrys?’
‘What?’
‘If you don’t bring her, I will do everything in my power to destroy this place. With all of you in it’. He walked away without another word.
And then he waited. It was only hours, short hours compared to his long life, but each minute felt like a day, and before the sun had even disappeared, he had thought of every terrible ending to this day.
Maeve could find out. It could be a trap. Maeve could find out. She could kill Aelin- to get back at him. Fenrys could back out. Maeve could find out.
But then he saw his…friend, walking over the hill with a bundle in his arms. A bundle that looked so small, too small to be his mate.
But it was.
Rowan remembered a long time ago, when he had carried her in the same way. Before he knew her,before he saw her as what she was. Princess, survivor, warrior. Part of her had hated him back then. Hate…hate had been better than what this was. The emptiness. The…nothing.
Fenrys thrust her at him when he arrived. ‘Take her.’ He said. ‘Far away, for years. Dont…let the world know where she is. Don’t even let her court know. Or Maeve will find out and come after both of you.’
There were shadows in his eyes, a fear for them and for himself. ‘Fenrys. What will she do to you?’
‘I don’t know.’ A smile. ‘Think about yourself, Rowan. Not me.’
No one deserved the punishments Maeve dealt out. Not for this,not for anything. ‘If you ever get away from her, Fenrys, if you run or she sets you free, there will a place at our court for you.’
Hope, Rowan had learnt, was as powerful in war as any blade was. Hope kept everyone fighting, wanting more, wanting different. Hope was dangerous, but Fenrys needed it. Because even Rowan wondered if he would ever see the male again.
Rowan wrapped his arms around his mate, tucking her into his chest and turned away. She still hadn’t responded, and a part of Rowan’s heart broke. But she was there, in his arms, safe. He just needed to do something to bring her back to him.
And for Aelin Ashryver Galathynius, Queen of Terrasen and his wife, Prince Rowan Whitethorn would do anything.
So, i am re-reading Empire of Storms, ACOTAR, ACOMAF and I thought, 'oh my god. I am a mid between both Feyre and Aelin, kinda.' I have brown gold hair, grey-blue eyes, sarcasm and a bad temper.
B-but, we don't need a Rick Riordian in here, there is no Hera, so therefore, no amnesia! None!
Okay, so I was thinking about Aelin’s little problemo, you know, that little fact that she HAS TO DIE TO SAVE EVERYONE. Well, I was thinking there may be another (probably more painful) option, besides Dorian/Hollin. What if, by saying “every drop of you” has to be given up to forge the lock, the gods didn’t mean that she has to die, but give up every aspect of “her”. We all know what makes up Aelin, besides her personality: her friends, her family, her court, HER MATE, her magic (in no particular order). What if, by saying that, they meant that she has to forget everything and start over as a new person, with no recollection of who she was, who she loved, her suffering, what she’s done, good and bad. Not death, but maybe something worse than death, because she would lose everything she cared for, therefore giving up every aspect of “her”.
BUT on the bright side, if this is what happens, maybe SJM will pull a Cassandra Clare and find out some loophole to make her remember.
So, i must sound really, really stupid, but it's my first year on here, and I keep seeing these 'Inktober' sketches. Is Inktober the month where people do little sketches with only ink? Again, i must sound really stupid, but thank you for (possibly?) not getting annoyed with me.
Why!!!!! WHYWHYWHY.
“Aelin watched Darrow, waiting—refusing to break his stare until he bowed. A dip of his head was all he offered. “A bit lower,” she purred.”
“Maeve lowered the mask and drawled to Aelin, “Rumor claims you will bow to no one, Heir of Fire.” That serpentine smile. “Well, now you will bow to me.” She pointed to the sand. Aelin obeyed. Her knees barked as she dropped to the ground. “Lower.”
Try saying Lord Lorcan Lochan five times fast xD
Sassy Elide moments that will *hopefully* be in tog6 Featuring Flabbergasted and Annoyed Lorcan
-She’s holding a huge grudge okay who wouldn’t her Queen was taken like 8 seconds after they were Reunited -Elide looks innocent but she’s saltier than the motherfucking Pasific Ocean -it starts out when they’re on their way to Terassin after Ellywe, and Elide just glares so hard at him from across the deck of the boat. Aedion watches because it keeps him distracted from screaming at Lysandra or diving into the ocean to find Aelin. -so one day Elide needs something and she gets up and begins to hobble cross the deck and Lorcan braces her leg. And she just. Sits down immediately. Wherever she is she just sits down like “I don’t need your fuckin help you shit” and he just Glares and takes the brace away. -another day it happens again and she’s carrying food. She just fuckin plonks down in the middle of like, 4 men and they’re like ???? Weirdo. She’s v proud of herself. -when they get to land she’s sat down randomly 37 times. Lorcan is desperate for her forgiveness. He’s also pissed because she’s being Childish. -they freaking stink so much from being at sea for however long. So Elide marches determinedly with her limp alongside Aedion until they get to a clearing to set up camp and bathe in a creek. -miss It’s Just a Body Elide Lochan immediately strip and jumps in the freezing lake and bathes as best she can -when she gets out she wraps a blanket around herself and washes her clothes. -lorcan waltzes up and begins undressing. Elide Tries Not To Look and continues washing her clothes. Lorcan. Is. Naked. And. Very. Sexy. -she storms off and demands where her tent is. She’s sharing with Aelin!Lysandra and she’s cool with that. -the next morning Gavriel shows her how to skin and gut a rabbit. He let’s her try and she cuts herself. Gavriel heals her with an easy smile and a congratulations on doing well. Lorcan is Glaring at them. -a few weeks pass, and Elide has only gotten more stubborn and salty. -“Gavriel tell the Brute dinner is ready” -“Aedion, tell Lorcan to pass me some more meat” -“I wish people didn’t betray their supposed friends” -she accidently drops a log on Lorcan’s head, “Oops,” -but lorcan is just. A mess inside. And stares longingly at her. And fuckin gavriel says, “Just apologize you stubborn prick” -lorcan is noping so hard at that. He’s p much death himself. -elide hears all this btw and makes a mental promise to herself not. To. Crack if he apologies. -for the next few days while they’re venturing to ornyth lorcan attempts to help her by bracing her ankle but she just purposely limps so he stops and he tries to converse with her but she ignores him or is like, “Aedion, you hear something pal???” -and aedion is so grateful for the dramatics bc he needs a distraction bc he feels sad abt Aelin and guilty for yellin at Lysandra -elide feels so empowered by angering this 500 year old warrior and making him beg for it. -ONE NIGHT it’s particularly hot and Elide is wearing only pants and a sleeveless tunic top and Oh m y go d Lorcan is trying so hard not to stare at her chest or her throat and collar bones bc she’s pulled her hair up with a leather strap -he’s kinda breathless because she’s beautiful -gavriel comes over to elide and is like, “U know you’re torturing Lorcan right?” -“uh huh,” GAVRIEL IS LAUGHING -lorcan is frustrated and storms away to splash cold water over his head bc she’s so dreamy -anyway, elide sees him vanish, so she follows him bc she wants to yell at someone (preferably Lorcan the Loser) -she sees him kneeling by the river, splashing water on himself, and leans against the three because honestly her ankle is killing her. -moments after she thinks this, a brace wraps around it. She begrudgingly thanks him and walks towards him -he stands up and looks down at her bc he’s TALL AF and she’s a short cutie pie. “You’ve finally decided to talk to me?” -“it’s your fault my queen and king are gone, lorcan,” -“I know, Elide, I know.” -“i trusted you. I believed you.“ -“elide-” -“I wanted you to come to Perranth with me,” ngl elide is crying now. She feels betrayed and emotional and just kind of empty inside. She was beginning to fall for Lorcan, despite his mean and brooding ways. -“I still want to go with you, if you’ll let me,” his voice is hushed and full of emotion, which IS STARTLING -“I don’t know if I can forgive you for what you did, Lorcan,” -“let me make it up to you, Elide, please.” He pauses, as if finding the right words, “I’ve been alive for five hundred years, and never once in those years has someone lie you come into my life. I don’t want to loose you,” -she’s crying p hard and he just hugs her and she let’s him and she buries her face in his chest and sobs because she was finally reunited w her queen and now everything is Hopeless and she’s pretty sure she’s in love with an Emotionless Ass -“please don’t cry, Elide,” -they eventually sit in the grass and stare at the full moon and don’t talk and then lorcan turns to her, and he stares long enough that she turns to him too and he just says, “I’m sorry,” -and she breaks. She starts crying again and moves closer to him and he wraps an arm around her and he kisses her head and holds her until she stops crying -it’s been weeks and she’s seen firsthand how much he’s been trying to help with getting Aelin back and helping Terassin even if he hurt her and a lot of other people. -she pulls away and looks up at him, and she sees so much Emotion in his face that her breath catches and he ducks his head down -and she just freezes as he kisses her cheek, her jaw, her throat, her collarbone, his sharp canines brushing against her flushed skin -lorcan growls when he smells her scent and her body’s reaction to him, and then she pulls his face up and kisses his cheek, and jaw and throat and he’s like o h m y g o d w h a t -he cups her face and kisses her softly, and she nearly growls when his hands grip her waist and they’re kissing in earnest now -she’s flustered and feeling things she’s never felt and he’s growling as he lies her back on the grass and braces his weight on his elbows beside her head, his body covering hers. -she keeps running her hands up his back because d a m n s o n he’s so muscular -he pulls away to look at her face and she nods at him, so he unlaces the front of her tunic and pulls it off and omg he’s so breathless when he begins to touch her breasts and when he takes her nipple into his mouth she just. Loses it. -she grips her hair and tugs and is panting and writhing and he begins to kiss his way down her stomach to her pants and she doesn’t know what to do with herself as he nips and licks her skin omg -he stops when she gasps his name, worried he’s going too far and goes to pull away but she grips his shoulders and snaps, “If you stop I’ll kill you myself” -lorcan laughs. He fucking laughs and continues. And elide is a panting mess as he does things to her body she’s never felt and she has to clamp a hand over her mouth when shockwaves of pleasure shoot through her body and she’s shaking and convulsing against the ground. -lorcan lies next to her on his side and presses against her and she feels how much he wants her against her hip and she just. Touches him without knowing what she’s doing and he swears so loudly she stops and pulls her hand away. -lorcan growls and pulls her hand back and decides to show her what to do after asking permission. So he shows her how to grip him and curls his own hand over hers and gives her all directions -and elide is watching between his face and their hands on him because ??? He’s a brute warrior undone by a nineteen year old woman’s touch like??? She feels so powerful -afterwards they wash off in the lake and she blushes, realizing what just happened. And he tells her there’s nothing to be ashamed of. And then they kiss and go back to camp and everyone just rolls their eyes and minds their own business. -elide shares a tent with Lorcan that night, and she feels warm and safe -skipping to after the war (see my tog6 predictions) -elide, even though she’s pretty much forgiven him, freaks out when she learns she’s Lorcan’s mate like ??? Oh my g o d. But after a few weeks she’s like yeah okay cool -they do the do and elide is SO protective and possessive of Lorcan it’s hilarious. Lysandra looks at him? Elide glares and snaps at her. A court female touches his arm? She punched that bitch in the face. -lorcan feels So Loved and mushy and. He just feels and smiles so much more now. It’s honestly unnerving. -and they finally get married, and it’s a wild emotional Rollercoaster. -they get to Perranth, and they are Lady Elide Lochan and Lord Lorcan Lochan and they’re happy and healthy and everything is okay and I’m crying
LUCKYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So, after re-reading Empire of Storms, I really really think someone should draw the scene where Manon saves Dorian when the ironteeth attack Rifthold, and them saying their greeting, the, "Hello, witchling," and "Hello princeling'" and when they first see eachother on the ship to the marshes. Now, i would draw it myself, but I can't draw for shit, but i can try.
Yes! Maeve and Erawan deserve to be punished by Rhys
Kinda wishing Rhys was in ToG 6 so he could give Maeve the punishment she deserves. Slow and painful
This is amazing
I love that book as well, I started shipping Merik and Safi like 15 chapters in xD
I FINISHED TRUTHWITCH. IT WAS GOOD. NOW I NEED Y'ALL TO READ IT SO I HAVE SOMEONE TO TALK TO
Thats me! None of the signings are in my state, and my parents wont let me go to the UK or Europe because of stupid school
So, i just started re-reading Empire of Storms and in Chapter One, Lorcan mentions his, “senses he inherited from his prick of a father”. Maybe his father is a valg prince, or somethings similar, because he says he is guided by Hellas, and that he has dark powers. This may be kinda unrelated, but what if Erawan is Lorcan’s father, and Lorcan has to sacrifice himself to defeat Earawn?
Okay, so i have a book journal thing in my humanities class, and a prompt is what is the setting of your book. I chose Empire of Storms and I cant pick one place. Humanities teacher, prepare for a huge sentence with every place Aelin and her Court visited in the book
When I read this, i could hardly keep myself from squealing xD i'm just sitting here trying to still comprehend everything that happened in EoS and here people are, coming up with all kinds of stuff like this xD
So while rereading The Assassin and the Underworld after EoS something catched my attention.
Remember when Celaene went to Ardalan’s Theater? Well, I’m quoting here:
The music annihilated her.
The dancing was breathtaking, yes, and the story it told was certainly lovely - a legend of a prince seeking to rescue his bride, and the cunning bird he captured to help him do it - but the music.
Who is the Prince? Our beloved Rowan Whitethorn
Who is the bride? Our suffering Queen Aelin
And who is the cunning bird? My guess is Vaughan, one of the members of the cadre from whom we know next to nothing and whose animal form is an osprey.
I just found out that Rhysand was pronounced Ree-sand as well, and Rees for Rhys. I'm still calling him Rhy-sand and Rhys though xD
I think that they were both just lost in grief, that when they found out they were Caranam, that that bond snapped the same time the mating bond did, and they didn't realize it
did Rowan not pick up on the mate bond with Aelin because Lyria was never his mate? because he thought he knew what a mate bond felt like BUT HE DIDNT????
Throne-of-omg-the-feels, Yes, no one cares about Hollin let him sacrifice himself and his maybe magic? He might be like Dorian and have raw magic, or just a little bit. xD but he should be the one to sacrifice himself
so Lorcans last name is salvaterre
Salva=save (italian)
Terre=earth (frennch)
just saying that he might be the one that makes the sacrafice, not aelin.
Lorcan salvaterre, might save the earth
I really hope its called A Court of Dreams and vengeance, that sounds like an amazing title xD
I'd say Chaol xD
On a scale of Chaol to Lorcan, how calm does your man handle you getting your period?
I want it now!
THIS IS A THING
Awwww, we need Aelin and Feyre to meet! Along with Rhys and Rowan! That would be awesome
-Sarah has been asked to write a catwoman comic for dc, which she predicts will come out in 2018
-She’s been banned from playing board games by her family
-If she went to hogwarts, she would be a slytherin, but she would live in Gryffindor’s tower bc the living under a lake thing would freak her out
-her personal blog in high school became like a meme for the school
-If Manon and Celaena went to Starbucks, Manon would either get ice water at the counter instead of buying a water bottle, or two straight shots of espresso bc she’s a badass, and
Celaena would get the sweetest possible frappuccino with like 3x the amount of whipped cream a normal one has.
-if Celaena, Rowan, Dorian, Chaol, Rhysand and Tamlin played monopoly together,
Celaena would be the banker who embezzled money,
Rowan would be the one who was “watching her like a hawk”(her pun not mine),
Dorian and Rhys would be really smart with their purchases and take the game really seriously,
Chaol would take it just as seriously and pull out the rule book,
and Tamlin would be like “lmao no that’s a mortal game why would I play that?”
After Rowan calls her out for embezzlement, Celeana would flip the board and set it on fire while it was in the air.
-if all the characters from both series were put in the hunger games:
The thirteen would band together and hunt
They would probably kill Dorian who would either die from that or trusting Celaena as an ally and getting stabbed
Chaol would make a valiant effort but get steamrolled by the magic users, probably trying to protect Dorian.
Rhys would win bc of the brain melting thing, but without that, she doesn’t know.
-Throne of Glass and ACOTAR take place in the same universe, so in theory, you could open a wyrdgate to one from the other, but she has no plans of the two interacting.
-Celaena and Manon are Sarah’s favorite characters in ToG, and Rhys and Nesta are the two known characters that are her favorites in ACOTAR
-Sarah was inspired to write the first scene of ACOTAR while listening to the Princess Mononoke soundtrack.
-While ToG is inspired by Cinderella, ACOTAR draws heavily from Beauty and the Beast and East of the Sun West of the Moon.
-Sarah’s favorite scene in ACOMAF was inspired by Hansel and Gretel and was so graphic she gagged while writing it.
-The only times Sarah was so shaken by what she was writing that she had to take a break were when Sam died, and when Asterin talked about her past.
I'm still trying to comprehend everything in the book. Just. Wow.
The ending of Empire of Storms hit me so hard. I never thought that after ACOMAF I could be that shocked by an ending ever again. I should’ve know Sarah would raise the bar and prove me wrong. Well played Sarah. Well played.
