People act like Nesta is like ten years older than F.eyre. She’s only three years older. Elain is only two. F.eyre, Nesta, and Elain were all children/teenagers during their years of poverty. Nesta is being blamed for being…a child. People act like she’s a psychopath and not a physically and mentally abused childduring those years. Like she never forced F.eyre to do anything. F.eyre made those decisions herself. F.eyre chose to go in the forest, no one let her — she went. She has always had the choice to just not hunt. Like I feel like people blame Nesta and Elain for F.eyre’s decisions! They were all teenagers, they were all victims — Nesta even more so when the were in wealth.

THIS !!! also nesta sitting there waiting for her dad to get his act together instead of bailing them out is genuinely what i think i would do in that situation

like he was the parent?? why should his minor daughters fix a problem that he created? why did he leave his youngest daughter in a position where she had to become the sole breadwinner?

idc about his disability nothing happened to his brain he still knew how to train and had some useable skills. feyre going to the forest gave their dad an excuse to do nothing and sit back while his daughter did it all and neither nesta nor elain forced her to make that decision.

it’s not nesta’s fault that she chose to leave her dad to fix his own wrongdoings and get his shit together. plus it literally said in acosf when she finally realised that he wasn’t going to do anything she tried to find her own way of helping (marriage) but then she got sexually assualted and feyre had started hunting by then anyway.

was nesta kind of a bitch in acotar? yes, but that was normal sibling shit; not abuse or anything that actually warranted a redemption arc. rhysand and the inner circle had no right to treat her the way they did for how she dealt with a situation that they could never even imagine (esp after all the trauma she had faced before then).

also it’s funny how y’all love this enemies to lovers trope where the guy is devoid of any emotion/humanity and softens/develops he falls in love but the moment that, god forbid, a morally grey, traumatised, imperfect female character is introduced you hate on her because she isn’t as agreeableorniceas the MC.

spoiler alert: your internalised misogyny is showing.

addition:

no but can we just talk about how aaron warner and nesta archeron are literally the same character yet one is worshiped and the other is hated ????

it’s so fucking funny how y’all love this enemies to lovers trope where the guy is devoid of any emotion/humanity and softens/develops when he falls in love but the moment that- god forbid- a morally grey, traumatised, imperfect female character is introduced you hate on her because she isn’t as agreeableorniceas the MC.

spoiler alert: your internalised misogyny is showing.

when i remember that cassian couldn’t even win over nesta the way a normal man should and could genuinely only get her when she was at the lowest, most vulnerable headspace of her life and when she was literally locked in a house with him so she had no other options and was practically forced to give him the time of day

the way the house of wind (a literal house) made nesta feel better, provided her more comfort, made her laugh and smile more times than cassian in the entirety of acosf

it bothered me so badly when nessian slept together on solstice and their bond snapped into place and they cried and promised to be together forever and then cassian … still got up after they fucked to leave the room and then nesta had to physically ask him to stay with her

would it have been so hard for that 500+ year old man child to take some initiative in his relationship and tell nesta he was staying with her? what was even the point of getting up to leave after such an emotional joining between them? it honestly just soured everything for me like STOP

and instead of running away for a week straight after and avoiding nesta and probably making her feel so insecure and worried that he didn’t actually want to be with her forever … couldn’t he have just sat down with nesta like a grown adult man and explained to her that their mating bond snapped into place but she didn’t have to accept it if she didn’t want to?

it’s so hard to explain why i disliked cassian so much in acosf but it’s because of all these little things that he dissapoints me over and over again in that just add up until he’s barely decent and just a shitty partner over all

omg i’m obsessed with the theory that aidas is the cat-like presence nesta felt around her and watching her in the library

queen of queens x prince of hel vibes

next time anyone calls nesta weak kindly remember she laughed in the cauldron’s face as she beat it’s ass and stole death powers from it

‘you’ve been given an order. you know the consequences. if you don’t get off that fucking rock by the end of this week, what happens next is out of my hands’

not cassian threatening to send nesta to her death in the human lands if she doesn’t do what he says and follow his orders every time i try to get past my passionate hatred for acosf cassian i remember him threatening nesta and i become more convinced that the cauldron punished nesta for stealing it’s power by giving her cassian as a mate

spending eternity with a pathological gaslighter and his friends who hate her has to be nesta’s punishment for the bad things she’s done in her life

i just know nesta sleeps beside cassian with one eye open knowing he could lock her up in a house at any moment, could take her on a hike and revel in her punishment until she faints after a couple days due to exhaustion and dehydration, and is in danger of having her life threatened by his besties with zero chance of cassian standing up for her

applause for nesta the bravest girl in prythian!

New One-Shot: It’s All Downhill

This is the second time I’ve re-written the hiking scene from ACOSF. The last one was more hopeful, this one is embeded with all of the rage I feel towards that scene and for the characters in general.

Teaser:

“Do you know what I want, Cassian?” He didn’t so much as blink. She took two steps forward, tilting her head up to look down at him. “I want to still be human. I want to close my eyes without seeing blood and rotting flesh. I want to go to sleep without being terrified that I might burn myself alive before I wake up. I want everyone to stop hating me for not being happy and in denial. Actually, no, I don’t care if you all hate me. I want you to let me grieve in peace.”

“We are trying-“

“To help me, I know. And I even believe you. But I don’t want it. I just want to be left alone.”

There was so little distance between them that a deep inhale would have pressed their chests together, but somehow, Cassian took a step closer.
