Sometimes "rarepair" means "you are literally the only person who posts about this on tumblr dot com" and you have to learn to be okay with that.

ITALIAN MANWHORE SUMMER

Cassian stepped in before things went south. "All right. Let Lady Death get some rest."

"That's not funny," Nesta hissed.

Cassian winked, even as the others tensed. "I think it's catchy."

God forbid Nesta not be in the mood to joke about the traumatizing experience she just narrowly survived thirty minutes ago. God forbid Nesta not think it's funny that she was just sexually assaulted and almost raped and eaten.

SJM writes these moments to make Nesta look bad, but really, the IC comes across as cruel, uncaring, insensitive assholes.

"Nesta treats Gwyn and Emerie better than she does her own family."

Gwyn and Emerie treat Nesta better than her own family does.

As much as Feyre loves to play the victim, she's always been just as nasty to Nesta as Nesta is to her. Feyre openly admits that she's always at Nesta's throat and that she's not civil to Nesta, but Feyre very rarely admits to wronging people, so that blame is placed solely on Nesta when both are equally culpable of their failed relationship.

Elain loves to sit back and do nothing, willfully letting Nesta do all the heavy lifting throughout the series, always hiding behind Nesta's skirts while Nesta faces down Fae warriors who could kill her with half a thought, but the second Nesta needs Elain, Elain ditches her for Feyre. Whoever keeps Elain fed and warm, comfortable and protected, rubs her belly and gives her treats when she does something good is where Elain's loyalty lies.

Feyre and Elain treat Nesta like a rabid animal. They dehumanize her every chance they get, all so Feyre and the IC can make Nesta into their slave/property/weapon. They don't treat Nesta like a Fae being, whereas Gwyn and Emerie do. Feyre and Elain do not treat Nesta with kindness and respect, whereas Gwyn and Emerie do. Feyre and Elain only look down on, insult, belittle, and judge Nesta, whereas Gwyn and Emerie do not.

The Archeron sisters will always have a failed relationship until Feyre and Elain can actually admit they're in the wrong about something. People want to hate Nesta for making people's lives miserable, but Feyre, Elain, and the IC make Nesta's life miserable, too. They willfully cause Nesta to suffer, whereas Gwyn and Emerie do not.

I don’t even have words for what this inspires in me, I love fandom

[clairedelune-13]

You know, on the surface, the fact that Lucanis makes dessert for you is really sweet, but then you realize he also does the same thing for Neve and then it’s not so special.

Do you have any idea how special I felt when Mr. “Modern Thedas Dwellers Are Tranquil” said that I was important to him???

And then looked at me like fucking this:

And then he still looks at you like that eight years later:

Look, this man’s heart literally just stopped for a few seconds.

He’s literally buffering.

[grimseverity]

Took me a while to finish the series, but I think I got my point across with this one for now. Rhys’ tormenting of Feyre won’t be forgotten, much as he wishes it was.

I may do a companion series with Nesta and Cassian (The stair falling scene, the hike) so we’ll see

[lady-selenee]

Reminder: Rhysand said, and I quote, Neither side is innocent about a war in which one side was fighting for their freedom and to end their enslavement, while the other was fighting to keep slaves, to keep owning people.

Yeah, for me, that speaks more about his character than all the so-called good deeds he claims he's done.

Useless Veilguard fact of the day: Day 206

Even though Solas is a temporary companion that joins Rook during the final mission, he still has a follower file. In that file, his faction is set as Inquisition.

His faction is set as Inqusition.

Hurt flashed in her eyes. "Fine," she said, her voice brittle.

He hated that brittleness more than anything he'd ever encountered. Hated himself for causing it.

How is it that Lorcan immidiately notices Elide's brittle voice, but Cassian doesn't notice Nesta's vacant and carefully blank face, her thin and brittle voice, the bruised and pained look in her eyes, the giant wave of raw emotion that she could only suppress by raising that wall of steel in her mind to protect herself from him?

This probably makes me a toxic person, but I hope Cassian hates himself next book. I hope he realizes that he's broken Nesta and hates himself for it. I hope he realizes that Nesta is a shell of who she once was and hates himself for causing it. I hope he realizes that he caged her, clipped her wings, ripped out her fangs and claws, and hates himself for it. I hope he realizes that all his family wants to do is control his mate, and I hope he hates himself for allowing them to try and do that.

When Cassian finds out that Nesta no longer feels safe around him, I hope it shatters him completely.

She’s finally finished, my Mythal tarot card ✨

Hope it was worth the wait!

Nesta ended her "healing" arc not feeling worthy of love. Not feeling worthy of friends. Not feeling worthy of Ataraxia. Not feeling worthy of her power.

That mentality is not healing. It's what causes people to commit suicide.

[silverflameataraxia]

Nesta needed an Emrys to keep Cassian in line in ACOSF

All Cassian did all book long was beat Nesta down, insult her, abuse her, and belittle her when all she needed was for someone to show her some love and kindness, someone to compliment her, and someone to meet her in her darkness and walk through it with her.

Aelin healed because of Rowan. Nesta healed in spite of Cassian.

"I was dragged into this world of yours, this court." "Then go somewhere else." Her mouth formed a tight line at the challenge. "Perhaps I will." But he knew there was no other place to go. Not when she had no money, no family beyond this territory. "Be sure to write."

ACOFAS, Chapter 21

Hmmmm... the woman I suspect is my mate is helpless, alone in the world, and entirely dependent on the goodwill of her sister/my High Lady and also my brother/my High Lord, who I know severely dislikes her. Shall I help her? Nah. I shall instead suggest that she do what I know she cannot.

ACOFAS was the death knell of Nessian. This re-read is brutal.

[livinforthetea]

Tamlin telling Nesta in ACOSF "You are just as nasty as your sister said you'd be", is such a rage baiting exchange between them for me. It very clearly highlights the way that Feyre victimizes herself to every single person she meets, to the point where every character that she interacts with before her sisters comes away thinking that Nesta is the person that should be held responsible for everything that Feyre has gone thru. In doing so, Feyre basically lays the groundwork for all the negative interactions that Nesta has with anyone that Feyre gets to first - because everyone ends up tripping all over themselves to become one of Feyre's many revenge proxies. Tamlin, Rhysand - and by extension the Inner Circle - all of them get the same sob story and all come away with the same conclusion about Nesta. It's not their mother that gets any blame, or their father and definitely not Elain, it is ALWAYS Nesta.

And if this isn't a huge sign to the reader that Feyre is not only an unreliable narrator but that she is a very bias one, I don't know what is.....but most people still do not get it! I was calling bullshit from Book 1, but I guess I'm some kind of anomaly.

Just about the only thing that ACOSF got right was to point out that anyone that Nesta met in the series outside of Feyre, likes her and gets along with her fine..., but it also felt like too little to late for me.

And I'll add this - and this goes out to the "as an older sibling, I would never" crowd - I have 3 siblings, and the way that we treated each other growing up makes the Archeron sisters look like saints. We said and did some really wild things to each other growing up. One thing I never did and will never do, is bad mouth my siblings to anyone that I just met. The last thing I would ever want or would allow is for someone who barely knows my siblings at all to treat them negatively on my behalf. That is a very hard line in the sand that I do not allow people to cross.

ik so many people are excited about acotar 6 but I cant help but feel reluctant and like im bracing myself. like I had been so excited for SF and then when I got it my heart broke in the worst way possible. Nesta was beaten down and abused and we were supposed to applaud the IC for a job well done. I worry for Lucien and what SJM is going to do to him. She already treats him horribly and up until now hes barely been present. How bad is it going to be once hes front and center
