Hello bookish fam!

I ordered pointed ears on Shein two weeks ago and they just arrived! I finally made my Nesta Archeron cosplay. It’s not perfect but I tried lmao

HOPE YOU LIKE IT HAHA

Nesta at the start of ACOSF

Lol I’m getting lazy to post stuff Also this isn’t really a spoiler alert so there’s no warning

Rory didn’t lie though

Ok let’s be honest. I’m most looking forward to when Nesta and Cassian have an honest talk about how much they have been freaking pinning and longing for each other. SINCE THE FIRST DAY THEY MET.

I want them to finally admit that each time they said something hateful it was in an attempt not to keep their true lovey feelings from pushing out.

Like we all know. All the other characters know. Even they know deep down.

So that teaser has to be right after the “intervention - casting out of the city” right?!

Also I loved every single word.

I bet Nesta stays in the library the whole night. It is her happy place after all

Happy Friday everyone!!!

Today’s my birthday! ACOSF was suppose to be my birthday gift to myself…

In the short time that Nesta has known Cassian she has seen him literally on deaths door step like 3 times. She has seen him in pain countless other times. She avoids him because she doesn’t want to be first in the long line of people waiting to get the news that he died. She is trying to protect herself.

Now love is worth the risk but she doesn’t know that yet

At the very beginning of ACOFAS Feyre wants to buy presents for ALL of her friends and family for what they did on the battlefield.

She says then when it is already clear Nesta doesn’t want to go and then like a week later NESTA shows up to the party and Feyre is all like I didn’t give you a gift. WTF. And has the gull to be like “Nesta didn’t give me anything but I don’t care because everyone else has showered me in gifts”

I don’t like going to parties, I hate public speaking, talking about myself gives me hives, I would throw myself in front of the bullet for those that I love, my family misunderstands me, it’s hard to “get” me, I hide my soft feelings behind a suit if armor made or rude remarks, there is definitely some sexual frustration and tension in my life, I find it hard to start a fire, I never want to go to the gym and train, and yeah I love a good romance novel.

Oh crap. I AM NESTA

I have often thought that Nesta’s power isn’t death

First, because Feyre is convinced it is death. And When has Feyre ever been known to truly get her sister?

Second, it was said at one point that Nesta took from the cauldron everything it had taken from her. It is assumed she got the death powers because it had killed her but in reality the cauldron was also giving her life, a new life.

Third, I think often because if Nesta’s bluntness and brutality in conversation it is thought that she is similar to death. But no we know she is sensitive and caring behind her outer wall. She is life and creation more than death and killing

Fourth, just because the bone carver heard of Nests dosent mean she is death. She could be deaths greatest enemy - life

Nesta is life she is creation she is a new beginning

So Feyre starts off thinking about her sister, her thoughts and feelings. But the moment she has any discomfort all thoughts of Nests and her needs go out the window. As long as Feyre is comfortable and as a easy life everything is ok.

Stupid

Here’s what I pictured Nesta looking like as she walked into the Court of Nightmares Solstice Ball in acosf

Slowly getting better at colours with each piece but still nothing in comparison to other talented artists

@highfaenesta working on a Cassian and Nesta ballroom dance piece now, thank you for the suggestions! (will be doing a few of them) ☺️

“Cassian extended a wrapped hand, his fingers curling in a comehither motion. “Scared?” “Why should I be scared of an oversized bat who likes to throw temper tantrums?”” - Chapter 19, page 203, ACOWAR

Here’s the final drawing of this scene from acowar. This scene never fails to make me laugh love nessian’s banter

Let me know in the comments what your favourite scene from ACOSF is (nessian or non-nessian) and would like me to draw. Looking for ideas ☺️

Alright, I nearly pulled my hair out and threw my iPad across the room colouring this. I had multiple attempts trying all different colouring techniques, from realism to cartoon, and failed at all of them colouring is definitely not a strong point of mine! (Though I’ll keep trying )

But this is the best of them but it still needs some improvement originally I wasn’t going to have the glittery stuff on the border but it seemed so plain that I needed to add something. Also feel like something needs to be in the middle because it feels bare, but maybe that’s just me ‍♀️

But hopefully one day soon, I’ll get the hang of it. ACOSF is released tomorrow! I’m so excited

“My sisters ate breakfast with Rhys and me, Azriel gone to wherever he’d taken the Attor. Cassian had flown off to join him the moment we returned. He’d given Nesta a mocking bow, and she’d given him a vulgar gesture I hadn’t realised she knew how to make.” Acomaf, Chapter 28, page 273.

Popping in real quick to post this for you all before leaving again from fear of acosf being spoiled! I’m trying out a new art style, which is this detailed linart (over the next couple of days before acosf release, I’ll try out colouring techniques and will post the results).

I have an Instagram now for my art, @bec_speight.art - so feel free to check it out, give it a like and follow also I’ve uploaded a time lapse reel of this and my Cassian piece on Instagram if that interests you

So I wasn’t planning to leave tumblr until a few days prior to ACOSF being released to avoid spoilers but I’ve decided to leave today. Half the reason being because of the leaks of the first six chapters, which will no doubt be translated and be everywhere, and the other half being because I know I cannot control myself and I will read it, spoiling it after waiting so long for this book, I’m desperate to read it but I know because I’ve waited this long, I want to read it all firsthand with no one else’s opinion swaying me. The internal struggle is real

Bye for now, see you again when the fun begins (discussing the entire book, memes, fanart etc)
