#he literally won’t leave her alone
Nesta: *glares at Cassian the same way she glared at everyone*
Cassian: she thinks I am not worth being kind to because I am but a lowly Illyrian bastard
Nesta: *doesn’t speak to Cassian after the war the way she doesn’t speak to anyone*
Cassian: Nesta has deemed me unworthy of her time because I am but a lowly Illyrian bastard
Nesta: *drinks herself half to death and copes by tearing the new body she hates as if it is an object which means nothing to her*
Cassian: wow. Nesta is sleeping with all these males instead of me because I am but a lowly Illyrian bastard.
The IC (and fandom): Nesta how COULD you constantly tell Cassian he is not worthy. How could you go on and on about him being a bastard. How could you target him specifically with your cruelty when HE is so clearly the one in a vulnerable spot right now. You don’t understand. He was once poor for like 8 years as a child and 500 years later despite endless wealth and power is still caught up in that and attributes everything wrong in his life to it. How could you reinforce that by not fucking him immediately??? What a monster. Witch. How awful!!!
Friendly reminder that Nesta literally mentions the *bastard* thing ONCE in a BONUS CHAPTER while Cassian is purposefully sexually goading her. She then defends him for literally the rest of the series while he is continuously ashamed of her and doesn’t even talk to her in front of his friends so …
Can we please move on from this narrative?Like damn, a girl can’t even be traumatized by a war without everyone making it about Cassian’s insecurities.
