The Evil Stepsisters from Cinderella, Anastasia and Drizella, and Nesta and Elain Archeron from the A Court of Thorns and Roses (ACOTAR) series are two sets of characters with distinct qualities that contribute to their differing levels of perceived "evil."

Evil Stepsisters (Anastasia and Drizella):

Motivation: Anastasia and Drizella are driven by jealousy and a desire to marry Prince Charming for their own gain. They are willing to mistreat Cinderella and undermine her chances of happiness to achieve their goals.

Cruelty: They exhibit cruelty through their verbal and physical abuse of Cinderella. They mock her, destroy her dress, and create obstacles for her to attend the royal ball.

Lack of Empathy: These characters lack empathy and remorse for their actions. They do not care about the suffering they inflict on Cinderella.

Superficiality: Their obsession with appearances and superficial qualities, such as the size of their feet, reflects their shallow and selfish nature.

Nesta and Elain cannot be equated with the Evil Stepsisters from Cinderella because they fundamentally differ in their character and motivations, rendering them far from "evil."

Complexity of Motivation:

Nesta and Elain's actions are rooted in complex emotions, primarily grief and the trauma they experienced due to their mother’s death. Their initial reluctance to accept the Fae world stems from fear.

In contrast, the Evil Stepsisters, Anastasia and Drizella, are motivated by shallow desires, such as marrying Prince Charming for personal gain, exhibiting a lack of depth in their characters.

Redemption and Growth:

Throughout the ACOTAR series, Nesta and Elain undergo significant character development. They confront their past, face their inner demons, and transform into more compassionate and self-aware individuals at least to what Sarah lets us see.

The Evil Stepsisters, on the other hand, do not undergo any substantial growth or redemption in the original Cinderella story. They remain static, maintaining their cruel behavior until the story's conclusion.

I’ve read like the first half of cruel prince and I’m debating on even finishing because I really don’t like Carden now I’m not completely anti Carden but he forced Jude’s sister to kiss him if I remember correctly, made Jude eat a apple that did something to her and then made her undead and crawl towards him, and kicked dirt into her food. Correct me if I’m wrong on any of these but does he actually ever atone for any of this?

Canon isn’t ACTUALLY canon. Canon is what Feyre tells us through her very biased pov.

“Morally Grey” Characters

Morally grey characters are a staple of literature and storytelling, and they can be some of the most compelling and thought-provoking figures in a narrative. These characters often blur the lines between good and evil, making readers question their motivations and actions. However, the acceptance of morally grey characters hinges on how their complexity is presented within the story. While morally grey characters can be intriguing and even empathetic, it becomes problematic when their moral ambiguity is used to excuse or downplay abusive or harmful behavior.

Complexity vs. Excuse: Morally grey characters should be portrayed with depth and nuance. Their actions and motivations should be explored in a way that allows readers to understand the complexity of their choices. However, this complexity should not serve as an excuse for abusive or harmful behavior.

Accountability: It's essential that morally grey characters are held accountable for their actions. Their choices, even if morally ambiguous, should have consequences within the story. This accountability demonstrates that the narrative acknowledges the impact of their behavior on others.

Character Development: Morally grey characters should ideally experience growth and change over the course of the story. They may grapple with their actions and seek redemption or self-improvement. This development adds depth to their character arcs and provides a path for reconciliation with the audience.

Exploring the Grey Area: Morally grey characters can serve as a vehicle for exploring ethical dilemmas and the grey areas of human nature. However, this exploration should be done with sensitivity and an awareness of the potential real-world implications.

Avoiding Glamorization: It's crucial to avoid glamorizing abusive or harmful behavior, even within the context of morally grey characters. Romanticizing or justifying such behavior can send harmful messages to readers.

Balanced Perspective: Authors should strive to present a balanced perspective on morally grey characters. This means acknowledging both their strengths and flaws, their virtues and vices. Readers should be encouraged to form their own opinions rather than having a character's behavior imposed as unquestionably acceptable.

In literature, morally grey characters can be some of the most captivating and thought-provoking figures, challenging readers to question their own moral compass. However, their complexity should never be used as a means to justify or romanticize abusive or harmful actions.

@stargirlfeyre It won’t let me reply in the comments so I’ll do it here. I’m going to respond but I’m not really looking to argue you can have your opinion about how everything was handled and I can have mine. Firstly I never Morrigan never cared about anyone in the CoN so I’m not sure where you got that in my post and that she left woman and children to suffer (they are suffering but I never said it was Morrigans fault). No, I do not want anyone to be kidnapped and as you said “relocated” again I never suggested that so I do not know from where in my post you had gotten that from. And once again Rhysand is out of UTM so he can lock them up and punish them now, but he says that it’s not as easy and would have backlash, but again if it’s against the law you punish them and lock them up that’s just simple but it’s not mentioned at all of him doing that and I used Cassian and Azriel but they don’t have any power really to make any laws and such so you can’t really blame them I just put them in there because Cassian is a bastard and Azriel was abused. They are not entitled to help anyone but they speak of what was done to them and how they want things to get better but they are not actively doing anything to help change anything besides helping woman fighting and that’s not nothing but they are in a camp where these men are more powerful. And Nesta felt regret for what she did to Nesta so I don’t know where you got the fact that she didn’t. Again I never brought up Rhysand’s ego so I do not know where you got that from my posts, it’s stated in Nesta’s book that she feels sorry regretful and I’m sorry but Elaine never amends. And lastly I never said they couldn’t get mad at her but Feyre and Rhysand are recovering after the war and so are their people they speak of people suffering and then Feyre buys a fifth mansion? Yes she can get mad but compared to billions 500 Gold coins is nothing. Also, Nesta said that she would charge Rhysand for her emissary services and that she charged heavily. You are right that it was “dumb shit” and I’m not saying that Nesta should have spent her money on drinking, and she shouldn’t have been having sex with random men, but it’s also a coping mechanism and they were not right to judge her and Feyre say she was embarrassing them??? That’s how she felt okay, but the whole Inner circle is 500+ they’ve self claimed that they’ve slept around and drank and you’d think that again 500+ fae men/women would be more mature then a in her 20’s female and understand what she’s going through because of her trauma. Her trauma doesn’t excuse her actions, I know that what Nesta did to Feyre wasn’t right in the cabin she should’ve helped and done more, she shouldn’t have said what she did to Feyre because it was uncalled for and cruel. Yes I agree. But to lock them up in a house where they can’t get out of and Nesta cannot fly and winnow and he dependent on people you know hate you, and I’m sorry but when her trauma was brought up about how she was abused she was sexualized.

[stargirlfeyre]

Uhhhh

You may not have explicitly said that Mor didn’t care about the people in the CoN and that she was responsible for their suffering but you definitely did make it seem as if it was her fault and as if it’s something that she should be punished for. You literally said “we also have to get mad at Mor who didn’t help any of the other women or men in the court of nightmares”. As I said before you can’t really put that on the same level as Nesta taking advantage of Feyre while she hunted because Mor has nothing to do with the suffering that goes on in the CoN? While Nesta actively participated in Feyre’s suffering.

And where is it ever stated in the text that Rhys never punishes anyone who does wing clippings? What’s said is it’s hard to track some of them down because a lot of villages punish anyone who tells. It’s never said that he doesn’t reinforce the law or just turns a blind eye? So where did we get this “he doesn’t lock them up or punish them” from? “It’s not mentioned that he does” well tell me what happens when you break a law? Quickly. Just because we never got an on page scene of Rhys punishing someone for clipping wings doesn’t mean it never happens? Especially since we know how passionate both him and Cassian are about the subject?

You say Cassian isn’t doing anything to create change besides “training women” as if that’s something small. Fighting for women to have the same choices men especially in a community that is incredibly misogynistic isn’t something that’s insignificant? Especially since he’s fighting against a way of living that’s gone on for thousands of years. Listen you can hate Rhys and Cassian all you want but at the end of the day when it comes to Illyrians, they’re the main ones pushing for change. Just because that change isn’t happening as fast as you want it to that doesn’t mean that they aren’t working for it.

And Nesta felt regret for what she did but did she actually show it and try to make amends like Elain did? And you did bring up Rhys’ Ego? You said that Rhys didn’t like Nesta because she bruised his ego? “Where did you get that” from the post that you wrote babe.

We know Nesta feels some regret from what she did because we were in her head however she never actually shows that regret. She continues to treat Feyre like shit, never apologizes, and never tries to fix their relationship like Elain did. Look I don’t believe Elain 100% made amends either but you can’t really compare how she acted to how Nesta acted in regards to showing their remorse for how they treated Feyre. Nesta knew that how she treated Feyre was wrong yet she still continued to do it.

And lastly you’re acting like Feyre and Rhys are just spending money and ignoring the rest of their court. It’s stated that they’re helping people get back on their feet after the war. They’re not just leaving everyone high and dry while they spend loads of money. And there’s literally nothing wrong with Feyre building a fifth mansion? You do realize that the other houses have been in the Nigh Court for centuries and it’s not like she’s buying houses back to back right? She built a house that all of her family members can call home. Where’s the problem? You also have to keep in mind that Feyre is the one who got upset over how much money was spent and she’s someone who grew up in poverty. So to someone like that spending 500 gold coins on dumb shit isn’t nothing.

And I don’t care about Feyre calling Nesta embarrassing because that’s exactly how Nesta treated her for years. She literally used to call her an animal but you want me to get upset that Feyre called her embarrassing? What goes around comes around. And again I don’t feel bad about her getting put in the house of wind or having that choice taken away because one she didn’t have a problem getting down those steps when it was time to tell Feyre her baby was gonna die and two she took feyre’s choose away by not telling her about the baby. I’m supposed to care that she was put in the HoW against her will when she had no problem taking away Feyre’s choice?

I don’t care about how the IC treated Nesta because this is literally shit that she’s done to Feyre before.

[thetwistedbeauty]

Both Nesta and Feyre have experienced significant trauma and hardship, which has shaped their personalities and interactions. They often clash due to their differing coping mechanisms. Nesta's harsh and distant demeanor can come across as emotionally abusive, as she frequently belittles and demeans Feyre. On the other hand, Feyre can be perceived as intrusive, especially when she attempts to help Nesta without her consent. Cassian's decision to help the Illyrian women fight against Illyrian men who are more powerful than them is indeed a significant and commendable act. It highlights his dedication to equality, justice, and the empowerment of marginalized groups. However, it's important to acknowledge that there is always room for more to be done to ensure the safety and well-being of these women. Cassian, being a respected figure among the Illyrians, could use his influence to advocate for gender equality within the Illyrian society. This could involve pushing for changes in traditional gender roles and expectations. Establishing safe spaces within the Illyrian camps where women can openly discuss their concerns, share their experiences, and seek support can be crucial. These spaces would help in building a sense of community and solidarity. Cassian could work towards addressing the root causes of gender inequality and violence within Illyrian culture. This might involve challenging deeply ingrained beliefs and practices that perpetuate such disparities. While Cassian's efforts may focus on Illyria, he could also advocate for gender equality on a broader scale, raising awareness among other courts and societies in the series. Much like Cassian's efforts in Illyria, Morrigan can make a significant impact by focusing on empowerment, empathy, and advocacy within her own home. Just as Cassian could mentor young Illyrian women, Morrigan can take on a mentorship role for individuals in her court who have been marginalized. She can provide guidance, share her own experiences, and help them develop their strengths and talents. Morrigan can use her influence to advocate for reform within the Court of Nightmares. This might involve challenging oppressive systems and promoting a more inclusive and equitable society. Promoting education and awareness about the consequences of prejudice and discrimination can be powerful. Morrigan could sponsor educational initiatives aimed at changing perceptions and dismantling stereotypes. Offering support to individuals who have been victimized due to the actions of others is crucial. Morrigan can ensure that resources and assistance are readily available for those in need, regardless of their gender. Morrigan can lead by example, demonstrating through her own actions and choices how individuals should be treated with respect, regardless of their background or circumstances. Both characters have their own traumatic pasts that influence their decisions and actions. Past experiences can make it difficult for them to take certain risks or confront their own personal demons but that shouldn’t stop them from trying to help people and I’m aware that there are more reasons but the Inner Circle has never show a respect for any type of authority so I don’t know why it would stop now. Elain and Nesta towards Feyre is indeed influenced by their distinct personalities and character traits. These differences in personality result in varying reactions and perceptions from both Feyre and the other characters in the story. Elain is portrayed as gentle, kind-hearted, and nurturing. Her personality is more passive, and she tends to avoid confrontation. She tries to help and understand her sister's new reality. This welcoming and empathetic attitude is generally well-received by Feyre and others, leading to a more harmonious relationship. Nesta, on the other hand, is depicted as fiercely independent, strong-willed, and often confrontational. Nesta's harsh words and actions can be hurtful and create tension between them. Her personality clashes with Feyre's more adaptive and compromising nature, leading to conflict

[thetwistedbeauty]

Nesta's harsh words and actions can be hurtful and create tension between them. Her personality clashes with Feyre's more adaptive and compromising nature, leading to conflict. The differing treatments of Elain and Nesta are not solely due to their personalities but also because of how they each cope with the challenges they face. Elain's passive and nurturing nature makes it easier for her to adapt to change and maintain relationships, while Nesta's defensive and confrontational tendencies create barriers in her interactions with Feyre. Furthermore, how other characters in the story perceive and react to Elain and Nesta's actions also contributes to the differing treatment. Elain's behavior aligns more with societal expectations of femininity and politeness, making her more likable and less controversial to those around her. Nesta, on the other hand, challenges these expectations, which often results in her being labeled as difficult or stubborn. Feyre and Rhysand are allowed to indulge in self-care and luxury but criticize Nesta for her spending, can indeed be viewed as hypocritical. This contrast highlights a complex aspect of their relationships and characters. They have the means to treat themselves and their loved ones to luxuries, and they often do so without judgment. This can create a perception that they are living carefree lives with little concern for finances. Nesta's spending of 500 gold coins may seem excessive to others, but it's essential to consider her perspective. Nesta has faced significant trauma and has been thrust into a world she didn't choose. Her extravagant spending could be a way for her to assert control over her life, seeking comfort and validation. Criticizing Nesta for her spending while not holding their friends to the same standard can appear hypocritical. It implies that Feyre and Rhysand are imposing different rules on Nesta simply because they disapprove of her choices. The destruction of the building where Nesta was living in the Night Court, without consideration for the other people residing there. The destruction of the building might have been meant as a way to isolate or punish Nesta, but it ultimately harms innocent residents who were also struggling. The decision to destroy the building raises ethical questions about the responsibility of those in power to consider the welfare of all citizens. Locking up Nesta in bears a striking resemblance to what Tamlin did to Feyre earlier in the series. In both instances, Feyre and Nesta experience a loss of freedom. Tamlin's actions in the Spring Court confined Feyre to his estate, effectively isolating her from the outside world. Similarly, when Nesta is locked up, she faces restrictions on her movement and autonomy. Tamlin's intentions may have been rooted in a desire to protect Feyre, but the result was a sense of isolation and a lack of agency. Nesta's confinement, while possibly motivated by concerns for her well-being, echoes this same pattern of control, leading to feelings of powerlessness. Both Feyre and Nesta suffer emotionally due to their respective confinements. They experience feelings of frustration, resentment, and a loss of identity as their lives are dictated by others. The actions of both Tamlin and those who lock up Nesta raise questions about consent. In both cases, decisions are made for the characters without their consent or input.

I don’t know if anyone has seen that one page on Instagram but they literally say in the description send in the worst thing Rhysand had done and we’ll rationalize it and send us what Tamlin did and we’ll demonize it…like okay y’all ain’t trying at this point.

It irks me when people can’t tell that the IC was isolating Nesta. How many friends does Nesta have? TWO and why? Because she was only allowed to go to two places where she WORKED and TRAINED. It also irks me when people say that she wasn’t locked up because they obviously can walk down 10,000 steps or can grow wings and fly out or MAYBE they can winnow so she could have gotten out despite the fact that she didn’t know how to winnow, she can’t walk down 10,000 flights of stairs lest she be laughed at again, and she can’t ask for help because if they don’t like where she’s going then they can just choose not to take her. I love Gwyn and Emerie, I also hope that Sarah doesn’t brainwash them but I also wish that Nesta didn’t meet them at the two places she was required to go but I do understand the importance of their roles and I love the trio (please Sarah don’t ruin them). But Nesta literally depends on the IC … not to mention they’re holding Elaine hostage to control Nesta basically or are we gonna forget when Rhysand said that he would make Elaine scry if Nesta didn’t do it for them … like guys c’mon??? And now I know that Nesta is gonna be forced into having children with Cassian? The guy who physically, mentally, and emotionally manipulated and gaslights her. She literally changed her autonomy and it’s Sarah we’re talking about so be real that it’s probably gonna happen. I wanna scream right now because I wanted so much more for Nesta’s healing and I think it would have been so great if it focused on the Valkyrie’s and not Nesta molding herself into Feyre number two so Cassian can have Feyre. Also why did Nesta have to train? Like I know to be a badass female in Sarah’s books you have to know how to fight but that NEVER made sense for Nesta who always fought with words. This is more like a rant then anything because Sarah threw away Nesta’s character that we had gotten to see and instead gave us a ‘she’s a bitch and has an attitude so boooo’ when has being a bitch ever been a bad thing like even before Silver Flame all of her Anti’s called her a bitch but why is that a bad thing? It’s constantly used as an insult, she said some shitty things, did some shitty things too but so did every other acotar character in the IC. They slaughtered a LOT of people and it’s literally canon but Nesta is obviously worse.

So there’s some double standards we need to talk about, the WHOLE Inner Circle drinks in every scene we get of them, and understandably Nesta shouldn’t have been drinking as a coping mechanism but for Feyre to go ahead and stage an intervention, kick her out of her apartment, lock her away, and force her to train is not okay. It’s not okay for Cassian to sexualize Nesta when she has been starving herself, when she’s beaten and bruised, I don’t care if they were ‘helping’ her but that’s not how you do it no matter what. You don’t take away a person’s options until all they have is you and Nesta could not have gone back to the Human Lands because Feyre and Cassian wouldn’t have let her so I don’t want that excuse. Nesta shouldn’t have used drinking and sleeping around as a coping mechanism but it was a COPING mechanism. Y’all get so mad when Nesta slut shamed Feyre but when Feyre and Amren did it to Nesta it’s okay??? And let me bring up the fact that her mate and the whole Inner Circle have been alive for 500+ years … so let’s think about some things. Nesta shouldn’t have been mean I can agree with that because she said some rude things, should she have helped in the cabin more? Absolutely! But when the Inner Circle turns around and does the same thing is rude and doesn’t help Nesta in the way that she needs where are you all speaking then? Do you guys not see the double standard that you all hold towards the Inner Circle?

[thetwistedbeauty]

We constantly compare Tamlin and Rhysand? Let’s just agree that they BOTH have done wrong, manipulation, causing some degree of physical and mental harm in a situation, now we can all agree that Rhysand did considerably MORE. Personally fuck both of these men and Feyre, Nesta, and Elain need to run as fast as they can. Also I don’t hate Tamlin and I do think that he has done more then enough for redemption but I don’t excuse his actions, now if some Rhysand and Inner Circle stans did the same all would be right in the world.

found this again in my camera roll

context: a tiktok abt rhys and feyre under the mountain with the “do you feel bonita? i feel fucking violated” sound. these were the comments. y’all disgust me fr

I saw the same thing on Instagram with people defending him, and making fun of the situation saying exactly things like this and that she was ENJOYING it. Yeah everyone, she definitely enjoyed being forced to drink, being forced to wear revealing clothing, being forced to dance for Rhysand in front of everyone utm. She definitely enjoyed throwing up and not remembering anything and then being forced to do it night after night because Rhysand claimed it was the only way to keep Amarantha’s gaze off of her…yeah that definitely makes sense there’s nothing that is off about that at all. OH and she’s definitely enjoying how he said that he would have raped her but didn’t because he needed Tamlin to be cooperative. That’s just our lovable High Lord Rhysand doing lovable High Lord things y’know???

Daily reminder that we’ve only seen two evil people in the CoN. So why do so many people slander the people in Hewn city when we’ve only seen Kier and HEARD of Lord Thanatos…but Morrigan and everyone else in the Inner Circle hates them so we have to hate them as well? The same men and women who are continuously being abused but Rhysand can’t do anything because?? What is Rhysand the High Lord of? It’s not the Illryian war camps and it’s not Hewn city so it’s Velaris and he doesn’t tithe people from Velaris but how would he have money then? How much you wanna bet that the war camps and Hewn city pay those tithes because they’re apparently so evil and deserve to suffer and Rhysand can’t do anything to help the men and women because well we don’t know because JUST KNOW it’s for a good reason.

Okay, so we’ve relevantly seen through Sarah J. Mass that romance fixes everything in her books. Nesta needed healing instead she got dick, Feyre needed time to cope and instead she got … dick, let’s be honest it’s probably gonna be the same with Elain and Lucien even though Lucien is arguably one of the best men in Acotar. I want a Tamlin redemption that doesn’t involve romance or for that to even be the main point. I want him to find help perhaps from the remaining townsfolk and slowly rebuild the Spring court and if anyone tries to trespass then it’s their asses like he deserves healing and growth and to actually change things. But Sarah isn’t gonna give us this because he’s an abuser? Which I’m not saying he isn’t but why is Rhysand excused? Because he gave a half - assed apology and because he’s morally grey so pass? Why is Cassian excused when he verbally and emotionally abuses Nesta? Cause he’s such a lovable himbo? If we’re not excusing Tamlin then let’s not excuse everyone else who has done more questionable things? Feyre who has destroyed his court, Cassian who slaughtered a village, Azriel who spies and tortures people for a living, Amren who gaslights and manipulates laws to fit the High King Rhysand agenda and everyone who doesn’t agree must die, Morrigan who condemns the whole CoN because of her own trauma and wants to see everyone suffer there.
