“We need more complex female characters!”

You bitches can’t handle Nesta Archeron.

[theredcrane]

Couldn’t resist drawing Feyre in some Illyrian gear after reading acotar!

[stargirlfeyre]

Feyre loving her sisters and Feyre not being close with her sisters are two things that can and do coexist.

[everythingemilia]

op may be annoying (and very anti nesta), but i’ll admit- she ate this one lil thing tho 🧎🏻‍♀️

[nestaapologist]

She helped humans in the war effort, stole death powers from a cauldron, sawed off a king’s head, rose an army of the dead, made weapons not seen in thousands of years, received The Mother’s blessing, and made the Lord of Bloodshed cream himself in under a minute. Nesta Archeron, you will always be famous

[everythingemilia]

everyone say thank you to nesta and elriel for keeping this fandom alive 🤍🤍

[theladyofbloodshed]

Twilight could do winter solstice celebrations but ACOTAR couldn’t do the supermassive blackhole baseball scene

[ladydeath-vanserra]

this is so brave of u to say but also so, so accurate

that baseball scene remains a Favorite tbh

[ladydeath-vanserra]

I love u angry female characters. I love u deeply misunderstood and problematic female characters. I love u cold hearted and sharp female characters. I love you prideful and reckless female characters. I love u unbeautifly destructive female characters. I love u prickly and snarky female characters. not everyone understands u but I do and I'm listening

[everythingemilia]

og tags are so real love me some nesta and rosalie

[everythingemilia]

okay. but can we, as a fandom (acotar), discuss why y’all only like victims when they’re perfect and/or males? quickly now.

scroll away now if you’re a sensitive ass bitch. 🤍

some of y’all stay saying things worst than what’s ever come out of nesta’s mouth about the female characters in acotar. then y’all still act like y’all are better than her. y’all hate her because she’s a little mean, then y’all will turn around and say even worst things to REAL LIFE people that enjoyed her character arc. like listen, i understand if you still don’t like her character. not all of us can be empathetic like that. but y’all can’t say shit when y’all are acting the way y’all do on the internet. 🤷🏻‍♀️ and the way y’all will turn your vitriol on people that say “elain isn’t boring, we just haven’t had her book yet.” or y’all will say the nastiest shit unprovoked in the comments under ship art you don’t like. but y’all hate nesta for being a little mean?? make it make sense. you can’t be a grade a fucking cunt and hate nesta. the hatred towards mor and nesta is mind boggling honestly. like how can y’all come on here and tell me you think nesta and mor deserved to be assaulted?? 😀 you are worse than the characters you hate. and i think that’s why you hate them so much. because you are just as terrible, if not even worse than them. also, i’m so sick of y’all centering the male characters in these books. y’all “idc about the girls. lucien deserves a hea 🥺” and “i hate elain and gwyn. az deserves to be happy. 🥺” headasses. y’all infuriate me. doing all that in the year of the barbie is not it.

My thoughts on Nesta

I didn't like Nesta in the first book like your sister is here looking after you and you're are nasty and not even grateful but ngl in the following books she had a certain appeal with her nasty behavior. (I think the difference to the first and the following books was that her behavior towards Feyre bothered me because I just found it unfair but I didn't care about it when it came to the IC, let's be honest they often deserved it) I learned to like her in Feyre's book and i learned to understand and love her in her own book.

But i still don't support it when some stans act like Nesta was a saint. They take away what makes Nesta so interesting and relatable. Her flaws makes her interesting, her flaws makes her real. (+ they also take away the whole point of her book when basically saying she was a saint. Her whole journey was about dealing with her supressed emotions and loving herself)

I love how complex Nesta as a character is. Like it or not Nesta is a queen without a throne. I loved how she was often described as queen-like in the books.

I relate to Nesta on a different Level.

I know the feeling when you have too much suppressed feeling inside of you and the moment just comes when you burst. I know the feeling when you take your anger out on the wrong person. I also had a Feyre for my Nesta. A person where I could let my emotions flow because I subconsciously knew I could let them out. The mix between gratitude for this person and also regret that I took my emotions out on her in the first place. A person where i know she still loves me even when in some moments i was not nice to her. I know the cycle of being angry and feeling numb. When you are angry you want to feel numb and when you are numb you want to feel angry because anger is better than feeling nothing at all or when you alone with you thoughts.

I don't exuse her behavior towards Feyre and Elain but i understand where she is coming from.

Do i understand that people still don't like her after her book? Yes i do.

Nesta is a complex character. I think Nesta is the kind of character you like/love when you feel connected to her in a certain way. I think this is also one of the reasons why Nesta stans are one of the loudest in this fandom simply because they relate to her on a personal level. I can understand when people say I read the books for fun and don't want to do character analysis but if some people just would look twice they would see how beautifully complex Nesta is.

I learn to love Nesta, i still understand when people don't but she doesn't deserve the massive hate she gets, you can understand some of her actions and behavior if you simply look at the bigger picture.

[everythingemilia]

🤌🏼✨ this is what i’m talking about. eloquently spoken. this is what i like to see.

[ineedtoventaboutbooks]

There are only a few people that should legit be hated in acotar

Amarantha, Hybern, Ianthe, and Beron suck so hate them.

Everyone else gets so much hate (especially here) for like no reason. Because they all do something really really bad at some point. Every. Single. Character. All of them.

Rhys and Nesta I think especially so. Rhys consistently hides things from the people he trusts which hurts them and puts them in danger (pregnancy stuff, high lady, keir etc). Nesta is bitch and hits where it hurts and is kind of spoiled. But they both love harder and sacrifice everything for people they love. They just don’t value themselves.

Dislike them. I dislike mor because of the shit she pulled with az and cas but I’m not anti-mor.

Idk I think if we don’t treat them as complex and flawed people we lose a huge part of why they’re great. Everyone does shitty things but they aren’t inherently bad. Nuance is okay. They’re called morally GREY for a reason.

[everythingemilia]

it’s so nice to come across people with brains in this fandom! love this post. 🤍 i’ve just recently joined and these terminally online, no friends, no social life and skills, need to touch grass and get sunlight people in this fandom have already irritated me. idk how some of y’all have been here since 2015. seems like a special layer of hell.

[jmoonjones]

I hope we see Nesta, Elain, and Feyre do some sisterly bonding and healing in the next books. They're all quite different from each other but their hobbies are perfect for them to share together:

Nesta gives them dance lessons! (They use the shiny magic iPod that Cassian got her for Solstice, and Feyre starts a huge leg warmers trend in Velaris)

Elain shares her favourite recipes with them! (It's mostly Elain explaining a new technique she discovered while Feyre and Nesta monch all the batches to "taste test")

Feyre teaches them how to paint! (It's a handy way to get Nyx's nursery decorated too! They'll make a huge mess and have Rhys clean up)

I know I’m super corny but what is tumblr if not a corny safe space?

[everythingemilia]

my sweet baby girl queens need sisterly bonding 😭😭 please i desperately need it in the next novel

“Nesta.” His fingers grazed her shoulder. She couldn’t bear that touch. The kindness in it.

“Please,” she said. Her first word in five days. He stilled.

“Please what?”

She leaned from him. “Don’t touch me. Don’t-don’t be kind to me.” The words were a sobbing, rippling jumble.

“Why?”

The list of reasons surged, fighting to get out, to voice themselves, and she let them decide. Let them flow through her as she whispered, “I let him die.”

how could you read acosf and hate this woman? she already hates herself enough. 😭 her book was 50% self loathing, 25% plot, 20% smut and 5% her being mean.

[ae-neon]

One thing about being a woman (and in particular a black woman) is always being burdened with the expectation to remain resilient and gracious, to remain strong through struggle

That's why I love female characters like Nesta Archeron and Felisin Paran, who are bitter, who are broken and exist in sharp shards, who cut even the people who try to hold them because that is simply the form they exist in.

Through simple proximity they cannot help but hurt the ones they love, even though they don't want to

That is the realest, most human shit ever

But fandoms will always despise this in female characters because they expect them to have an sense of grace, a certain level of acquiescence, and an overt kindness to those around them

Fans often expect these characters to perform according to their expectations of femininity and completely ignore or brush over the internal struggles or moral values of these women. It is not enough for these characters to think or act for the benefit of others if it doesn't feel like a direct apology to the often male characters who are important to the audience

Fans ignore how words or actions may hurt these characters while magnifying how the characters words or actions hurt others.

There is no empathy for unkind female characters and straight up contempt for 'ungrateful' ones

[everythingemilia]

fr as the eldest daughter of immigrants that always pit me and my siblings against one another, i adored nesta and her journey. y’all would eat it up if nesta was a male and it was a female trying to “fix him.” called it grumpy x sunshine bs. i’ve seen it with my own two eyes. 🙄

[fragmentedink-archived]

people want realistic trauma depictions until they get it. suddenly they're toxic and abusers and it's not okay. they don't want the real truth of how it can be as a trauma survivor. they want beautifully broken people that are ✨inspirational✨ and bonus points if that character is a woman

[fiercehildr]

The Valkyries doing Valkyries stuff by the great tilt_sick ♥️ Who’s smut book do you think they are trying to not so discreetly steal?

[everythingemilia]

my cutie patooties

[elainiisms]

you ppl love villains/morally grey characters UNTIL they're a woman, then all of a sudden they are annoying, evil and irredeemable

[everythingemilia]

y’all will crucify a female character for being a little mean then be cumming and foaming at the mouth like a common whore when it’s a man doing it…
