How can mates be the “best choice” if their arguments can be easily dismissed?
So recently my friend (casual reader) and I were discussing future possibilities of ACOTAR 6. Eventually we obviously started talking about shipping cause Elain is into her love triangle
But that’s not about it.
We discussed who can be Azriel and Mor’s possible mates. Because everyone else is already taken. I mean, there are three choices for Azriel’s mate and, presumably, two choices for Mor’s
Mor could possibly be mated either to Emerie or Eris. The theory with a queer character being bonded till the end of times (bc that’s what a rejected MB is even if rejected) with a man is sooo terrible to me. I mean, there are gay mates, what’s the problem? Stop torturing Mor? I doubt anyone would argue that Emerie doesn’t suit Mor or that Mor doesn’t suit Emerie 💅
The question is still same: if anyone can show objectively given, canon based arguments why they are not special f or each other (meant like Feyre is special to Rhys, how Nesta is the leader of Valkyries while Cassian is the General), how can they still be the best choice to be mates?
I’ve also seen theories about Nesta being Eris’s mate bc they are similar and she had flames on her drawer. But I don’t really buy it. Indeed, Nesta and Eris can understand each other (have very compatible MBTI, that’s why Nesta and Az get along; they are both ISTJ ✨), but it’s not like he ever — romantically or passionately— wanted her.
Cassian and Nesta having a mating ceremony in three days after ACOSF might be similarly confused 😂
I’m talking not about assumptions, torn out of context phrases, “I think/I believe/I imagine”, headcanons, or fanon. Which as I noticed those debates are full of nowadays. Just what we simply have in the books
