"Nesta is Illyrian" and "Elain is Elain"

I just realised that Rhys categorises Nesta and Elain in the same way he does his people.

Nesta is, by Rhys's definition, "Illyrian". He says he means this as a "compliment", but it also means she has "no excuses" for her behaviour and not doing more for Feyre. He has arbitrarily assigned a category to Nesta, that of "Illyrian", and he treats Nesta the same way he does the Illyrians. They are other, outside his sphere of protection and affection. They exist to serve the Inner Circle and Rhys's chosen few, their purpose is to be canon fodder. The women are "helped" by being trained as warriors also, while still having to carry the burden of domestic labour. The Illyrians are, in Rhys's mind, hard, undeserving and un-requiring of kindness, softness or luxury. They are canon fodder. Nesta is canon fodder, there to be used, hard and expendable.

Elain is by contrast "Velaris". Elain is a dreamer, she is sweet and pretty and idealistic, and fits into Rhys's vision of Velaris. Because of that, he protects and defends her. She is praised for any contributions she does make, but none are demanded of her, just as the people of Velaris are never required to fight or make sacrifices. She is kept nestled at the heart of Velaris, cherished and tucked away from the rest of the world.

Elain is encouraged to dream, to garden, to make beautiful things and live a beautiful life, to lead a soft and beautiful life, and Nesta is encouraged to plunge herself into deadly peril, over and over, to preserve that soft and beautiful life, just as the dreamers and artisans of Velaris are able to lead soft and beautiful lives behind the wall of bodies of slaughtered Illyrians.

Mor gets in on the game too, only she assigns Nesta to Hewn City. She equates Nesta's bitchiness with the rampant misogyny and abuse practised daily by the inhabitants of Hewn City, and wishes to send Nesta down to the Court of Nightmares where she belongs.

In both cases, Rhys and Mor, Nesta threatens their perfect utopia. In being abrasive, difficult, and uncowed by Rhys and Velaris's grandeur and perfection, she taints their "perfect city of dreams", and reminds them of places they would rather forget and abandon. They project their lingering anger and resentment at these places and these people within in it onto her, and wish to do to her as they do to all the other people from those places. Morrigan wants to throw Nesta into the Court of Nightmares and throw away the key, Rhys wants to use Nesta as loyal battle fodder to keep his precious city safe.

#pretty much poetry #this is poetry to me #nesta the character you are so much potential #i put this poetry in the category with this other post I saw once #Nesta subconsciously fell for canon Cassian because he treats her the same negative way her father does #the tragedy my beautiful tragic girl

The lighting on this one was a lot of fun

I love characters who are like "I'm a terrible person" but when you look closer it's more like

"I adapted to survive something and now I don't know how to stop being that version of myself."

Neris Week 2026 - Rules & Guidelines

Welcome to Neris Week 2026! This event is dedicated to celebrating Nesta Archeron and Eris Vanserra, their relationship, and the creativity of our community!

Content & Participation

There are no restrictions on the type of content you create: fanfiction, fan art, edits, playlists, moodboards, drabbles, meta, headcanons, SFW, NSFW, and more are welcome. However, we will not promote, reblog, or otherwise acknowledge AI-generated content.

As AI tools continue to evolve, it is not always possible to identify generated content with certainty. We will approach submissions in good faith and assume they are creator-made unless there is compelling evidence to suggest otherwise. If you have concerns regarding a submission we have shared, please reach out privately to one of the Neris Week moderators so we can review it.

Feel free to interpret the prompts as loosely or as literally as you would like. Creativity is encouraged!

Respect & Community

Neris Week is a celebration. We ask everyone to remain respectful toward fellow participants and the wider fandom.

We will not promote or reblog content that celebrates Neris by attacking other characters, ships, creators, or members of the fandom. Anti-content is not permitted as part of the event.

Sharing Your Work

Tag @nerisweek and use #NerisWeek2026 so we can find, reblog, and promote your contributions.

AO3 creators will be able to add their works to the official Neris Week 2026 Collection.

Daily contributions will be tracked and added to event masterlists throughout the week.

If it’s been a day and you notice your work has not made it onto a masterpost, please reach out to one of our mods privately. We are anticipating several submissions a day and we’re all human—sometimes, things fall off of our radar.

Thank you for helping us create a welcoming, creative, safe, and fun event for everyone. We can't wait to see what you create!

Join us from August 24-30 as we celebrate all things Neris!

Dreading the part when post-release of these upcoming books, we’ll be flooded with one side or the other coming out with ‘gotcha’ ‘reading comprehension’ receipts they are so desperately thirsting for, when it’s none of those things. These characters are mere puppets, subject to on the spot whims, that have nothing to do with foreshadowing and cohesion and everything to do with vibes and bias that might have a vague random point of connection somewhere or other, that sjm herself celebrates for how they just so happen to connect. Not from an interconnected network of brilliant forethought, but because it’s random application fits from its lack of development.
