i remember when she released the colouring book saying hélion was Persian and tbh i don’t see lucien as that black if he was able to pass with his brothers who are pale af i see hélion as black but not that dark skinned idk i read the first book ages before i read the others so lucien is pretty much white in my eyes bc he was retconned into hélions so

What’s crazy is that they fetishized the fuck out of Helion AND Lucien like we know happens towards black men a lot and then SJM used absentee black father trope as a plot point for helion and fatherless black child for Lucien. Are we fr😑

I will defend this man with my whole soul. I was so mad when I saw that elriel drawing of Lucien getting hung and Elain and Azriel walking away, that was definitely was racially motivated.

Ok so I literally peeped this too yall😭why do the poc in her books go through the most sacrifice and persecution? I love SJM but I feel like when making certain works especially because she does incorporate other cultures and languages into her books and does research on them she should be more mindful of that…

Oh my god this genuinely opened my eyes. I genuinely couldn’t understand why they hate him so much. Like i know Elriels are ruthless but them hating on him has always felt so weird to me

A lot of people in the fandom do this with all the black and POC characters and it drives me crazy but I also wasn’t surprised when a bunch of people who are guilty of this got outed for being racist IRL 🤷🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️I started noticing that they would always say the black and POC characters are all sneaky evils r*pists but defend the white people who are 1000 times worse.

I will protect Lucien with my life bro I‘m not joking. All black characters need that protection cause most of the time they get hated no matter how good they are ughhhh. Let me tell you it‘s been depressing to have Isaac from Castlevania be my absolute favorite but the fuckass Artists only love drawing that ugly white isaac from the games while drawing the rest exactly from the show

You know what gets me riled up is how for years people said he was wonderful and he is the only blameless character. Then the minute those dang leaks came out they turned on him and now say disgusting things. It’s really horrible. He is this wonderful multi dimensional character that has had a complicated but wonderful journey. I can’t wait for him to take his place as a High Lord I know he is going to be wonderful! Granted I don’t want his Bio father to die.

Just to be clear, the Illyrians aren’t white. And Helion is canonically Persian.

honestly, i don't think it's that. I think its because some elriels are insane and ruthless. They have made whacky stuff up about Gwyn to prove gwynriel will never be a thing. They want to drag Lucien down bc they love azriel

Lucien is the only character that I have continually liked in this series. I like the story but I hate everyone else. And everyone is mad Lucien didn’t do more with Tamlin, but he’s known Tamlin for so long and knows his behaviors. He’s taken abuse from Tamlin FOR feyre and everyone ignores that because they didn’t run away tg. Tamlin is the only person Lucien has had sense loosing everyone because of his “father”. It’s naturally a trauma response and I see soooo many people mad because he only left for Elaine, but Elaine is kinda like…bound to him by a bond that he can’t control but he still needs to be near her. I swear people only hate him for the straight white character that could have Elaine instead because they just can’t let him be happy 😭😭
