[nestaduarte]

“Death gripped her by the other” MY GOD IS SHE A DEATH GODDESS OR SOMETHING I DONT EVEN HAVE THE MENTAL CAPACITY TO COME UP WITH THEORIES IM FUCKING EXCITED OUT OF MY MIND

[silvernesta]

I'm gonna stay AWAY from social media from the 16th to 26th. I don't need to see pics of people holding acosf when my copy arrives ten whole days after release date. The jealousy

I'm just gonna focus on school & read some other book or start watching Dickinson

[nestaduarte]

I wish you good luck. I just know I would be absolutely fuming if this were my situation

[nestaduarte]

It’s gonna be such a letdown for me if im waiting all these days for February 16 and the book doesn’t come on time 😐

[nestaduarte]

Gonna start a countdown for ACOSF bc I need something to look forward to

14 .

[nestaduarte]

Today is the first time I’ve ever woken up on a Monday morning and not felt existential dread and it’s purely bc ACOSF is coming to me this month. IN TWO WEEKS.

[nestaduarte]

honestly i don’t hate feyre. at the end of the day she is 21 and figuring out her life. i disagree with some of her actions in acofas but she has shown she genuinly does care for nesta and elain. i want nesta and feyre to have a good relationship in acosf. in acowar they were warming up and you could see their relationship changing. it went down in acofas bc of nestas depression, but i really want them to pick it back up.

[nestable]

Me: *angrily tells friend about my frustration with the IC regarding the nesta feyre issue and their bias with elain.*

Friend: Sounds like a group of people who fucked up their relationships with their own families or dont have any, so they fuck up feyres relationship with her family so that shes initiated into the crew since that's how they bond.

You know what? I actually really like finding Anti Nesta posts, especially right now. It gives me the perfect opportunity to block all of them.

Use the block bouton before the book comes out and let them bark. Personally, I’ll be enjoying my 750 pages of Nessian content.

[silvernesta]

let.them.bark.

[nestaduarte]

i’m literally so scared to go to the anti nesta tag bc i just know i’m gonna be triggered

[princessofmerchants]

So what are everyone's reading plans for ACOSF? Are you planning your Feb. 16 and the day or two following with your reading of the book in mind? What format are you reading in (ebook or print)? Let's share our plans! I bet we're all doing something special or intentional to mark the occasion and to make room for this amazing 700+ page behemoth in our lives that week 😂

My plans: I can't take the 16th off from work, but I took the 17th off. I have the Kindle version coming to me, which I'll read on my phone's Kindle app (I have two hardcover versions coming too so just call me acosf trash 😂 but for a variety of reasons I need to read on my phone), so I hope that means it uploads at midnight, but since I have to work the day on the 16th and have three work meetings I can't miss and need to have my head screwed on straight for, the challenge for me will be deciding if I should begin reading at midnight between the 15th/16th, or should make myself wait at least until my morning work meetings that day are behind me 😂 I want to read it twice that week, and don't plan to get on Tumblr until I've read it at least once, probably twice.......

Your turn!

[nestaduarte]

That entire week is my winter break (thank the gods) from the 15th to the end of the week. A copy of ACOSF (idk if it’s hardcover or paperback) will be coming to me on the 16th since I preordered it months ago. I’m gonna spend all of my time reading it and will most likely finish it in 2 days max. Then I’m gonna come on tumblr and make a long ass post about all of my opinions :)

[romitritrashswiftie]

If Netflix or Hulu doesn’t pick up the ACOTAR series and turn it into a television show soon I’m going to combust.

[nestaduarte]

the reason why i don’t want this is because i just know the casting for the characters is gonna be different from how i view them and that’s gonna make me upset 😭

[nestaduarte]

fuming bc if covid weren’t a thing acosf would be on my doorstep in 2 days

[nestaduarte]

someone clarify for me bc i’m seeing both:

is acosf coming out on january 26 or february 16?????

[elucien]

y’all are upset nessian will take a good chunk of the book without romance, but like … i want y’all to remember nesta archeron is severely depressed, has shown signs of being vaguely suicidal, has ptsd from both viewing the deaths of her parents and sexual assault, and feels severely isolated. if nessian happened within the first few chapters of the book, that just … wouldn’t make sense. think of heir of fire and how celaena took almost the whole book to recover, and had to face almost every single fear and source of pain within her life. even then, no romance was pushed into that book because she had to heal. nesta has gone through so much that romance simply is not an option for her, not that soon. and cassian himself has a no bullshit attitude, as seen with feyre when training. he won’t coddle nesta, contrary to popular opinion. they’re both likely going to spend quite a bit of time arguing with one another ( they both have unhealed wounds ) before they pursue anything romantic.

[nestable]

It's the insults for me. Girl-

As literature evolves we ask for nuance and non-one dimensional characters, and then we get them and yall get pissed off. If you want amarantha type villains who have no thoughts but evil in their heads then go ahead but just know that the adult genre is not for you. People are multi faceted, people are multidimensional and this should be the case with fiction. You cant expect eris to remain the same person that he was in acotar and now, it doesnt work like that. Characters should grow and change and tell their own stories and if itturns out that their story is something you dont like it isnt necessarily a retcon. Just because you want your favs to be the only good characters in the books, doesnt mean that other character must now not have depth. Theres been evidence in the books that eris isnt just the malevolent beast we think he is and if you missed that then that's on you. Just because we'll get to see the real eris whether that will be good or bad doesn't mean that his past or mistakes will be undermined. And just because people are hyped to see that doesnt mean they are abuse apologists. Just stop it. You dont know anyone personally on this app to throw out such accusations. Whether or not eris abused mor is an actual debate because as far as we know he didnt touch her, he just left her like she wanted. So understand that people are gonna see it from varying perspectives. Theres no need to undermine people reading compehesion because they dont agree with you on a topic that has legitimate arguments on both sides. Just stop it it's not that deep its a book.

We've only gotten a sentence of eris and people are but hurt and in their feelings. If anything, people should be excited to see good and development in eris. He's a huge part of the story and theres no way that his character can be cast to the side. Hes the potential high lord of autumn so you should be hoping that hes a good person because he'll be having an entire court under his rule and peoples lives to take care of. You should hope that being a bad guy was for the sake of his father and not his actual character because now hes gonna incur many responsibilities. And you should hope that he is actually benign or even just morally gray so that when he takes over the autumn court that he fixes it up and rids it of all its toxicity and corruption. Like come on. Theres a bigger picture here than hating eris just because of mor and the IC's perception of him. Learn how to view characters outside of feyres bias gaze otherwise you are really gonna hate the rest of the books because certainly the other characters wont see the IC as the forced version of saints yall took from feyres perspective, least of all nesta.

So if eris has his own backstory, reasons and motivations, let him have them. As is the case with every character ever created. If you arent engaged in literature for this sort of growth then put the book down, because while you may believe that someone is wholly evil, it doesnt work that way. Not even life works that way. No one is fully evil or fully good, theres nuance and that's the truth. Everyone has a story and everyone deserves to tell it. The IC came into the books as the villains and were given the opportunity to tell their truth and grow, so why cant the same happen for other characters? It's just the double standards for me and how you're so hung up on your favs that you cant even recognize it. Rhys murdered an innocent girl and sexually assaulted another and was forgiven. Cassian destroyed an entire village and building in summer and was forgiven. Etc. The entire IC abandoned women and children in hewn and illyria to be controlled by mysoginistic patriarchs and yall suddenly over look that. Yet you can point fingers at eris and call him abusive but leave the IC unscathed. Just stop it with your selective activism.

In conclusion, characters should be multifaceted and multi dimensional and books purpose is to tell people stories. So not wanting to hear eris' story is just dumb considering that the IC's story was told when they were in the exact same boat as he is now. Let's just wait for the book then we can have a proper discussion on this because at this point it's futile.

Lastly, leave eris stans and people who are excited alone! Theres no need to attack anyone it's just a book.
