writing nesta/clare fanfic and im sick to my stomach. when i catch you rhysand...

archeron sisterhood get behind me rn, i need to protect you from stupidity

some of yall don't understand the books so it's no surprise you cannot fathom how their sisterhood works but let me spell it out for yall

Nesta and Feyre are two sides of the same coin. they're both nasty and vicious, only difference being is that Nesta is better at being a bitch. they get into spats and throw insults at each other like there is no tomorrow. stop twisting it into making feyre seem like the victim all the time. they were both starving kids dealing with their trauma by being mean. like yeah feyre did go out and hunted to feed them, but she was also mean to nesta. nesta did what was asked of her but she was mean during it to feyre.

elain is the only nice sister. they're all kind but feyre and nesta aren't nice idgaf if you think otherwise. her niceness is however directly linked to her infantilization from both her sisters. while nesta actively tries to put her out of harms way and therefore taking the choice from her, it doesn't occur to feyre that elain could even be asked to do something (eg feyre doesn't ask elain to chop the wood; possibility of elain scrying doesn't cross her mind). sweet elain is loved by her sisters but is just as crooked as the love between feyre and nesta, because they don't see her as their equal but rather someone below them - strong protecting the weak (but don't get me wrong we see time and time that elain is *to a certain degree* content with this dynamic).

by dissecting nesta's view of elain we get an answer to the age old question: why does nesta coddle up elain but same protection doesn't extend to feyre? nesta sees that feyre is capable of taking care of herself, but she doesn't believe elain can do the same. so nesta might not 'love' feyre, but she respects her and nesta might 'love' elain but doesn't respect her. 'b-but nesta was cold to feyre even when they were kids!!' well idk maybe just maybe it was the severe grooming by her mother that influenced her worldview. but id also argue that awareness of how similar they really are played a big role too. (and i think there is a bit of jealousy and resentment too - because someone who is so similar to her escaped the treatment she received from her mother/grandmother *this is not me saying neglect is better but you can imagine a kid would envy being left alone when they're getting abused*)

so yeah it's messy and not pretty, but that's what sisterhood is at its core. all of the sisters are victims - parental abuse and neglect, SA, DV, and whatever IC is doing to them, but they're never the abusers of the other sisters.

(also liking feyre/nesta and hating the other doesn't really make sense and some of yall should ponder on that)

[0lk0s]

'Nesta and elain should apologize to Feyre' 'Nesta and Elain owe a lot to Feyre' etc

wasn't literally dying for Feyre enough? both Nesta and Elain were slaughtered like sacrificial lambs because they helped their sister. paint the picture however you like but it's the facts. have they not helped feyre with the human queens, they wouldn't be turned into fae. so if you still think they owe feyre shit, maybe let's rethink that!

[0lk0s]

maybe it's me being classist or i just simply hate anti-intellectualism but i cannot get behind nesta and other valkyries reading smut books... like no my queens read good literature pleaseeeeeee

[0lk0s]

no because there is something so poetic about nesta refusing to take care of their catatonic father and elain being his caretaker only for nesta to end up the caretaker she dreaded to be for elain after their transformation!

elain has also been described multiple times to be their father's favorite and sjm gave her certain qualities that are very similar to him!

and to all my lovely elain stans, neither me or OP are saying our gorgeous gorgeous girl is anywhere close to that monster who calls himself their father!

i didn't just see mf on tiktok say how nesta and their deadbeat dad are similar because they're traumatized and failed their family😰 yeah sure! only the fact nesta was a literal child and their dad was a literal grown man with all the responsibility to take care of his kids but yeah totally the same! like dpmo now😭

feyre stans who hate nesta but are jumping up and down on IC's dick... yall are the dumbest people ever and you disgust me mwah!! free my daughter from your grasp

so we all agree that Nesta is gonna become the HL of Dusk Court next book and Feyre is gonna be the High Queen by the end of the series right?

my evidence on Nesta being HL:

• her powers being death (powers of dawn are centered around life)

• more powerful than regular High fae (characteristics associated with HLs in Prythian)

• bryce giving the dagger and sword SPECIFICALLY to Nesta

• her bargain with cauldron gave her tattoo which is symbol of the dusk court (totally coincidence, not Nesta being chosen by the literal embodiment of the world and it's magic to be the new HL)

• she's very intertwined with prison (only other character who could we cay the same thing about is Feyre but even then in her visits Nesta is mentioned more than once)

• brought feyre and nyx back to life (feat we've only seen HLs do)

• probably more so lmk if you have anything

my evidence on Feyre becoming HQ:

• has powers of all the HLs

• her being brought back to life the first time was very interesting because the HLs gave her a kernel of their powers willingly (almost like tithe hmmm probably a total coincidence)

• heavily intertwined with the Middle and UTM (which was the land and seat of the ancient HKs but probably a total coincidence)

• significantly stronger than regular High Fae (rh*s comments on it at the beginning of ACOMAF)

and you're probably thinking 'well it's been four books since her revival why didn't she become the HQ already?' and thank you for wondering that because let me explain.

the first time she was brought back to life it was by the 7 of current HLs but as we know that's not all the HLs because dusk court was at that time nonexistent essentially. so the world as a whole was out of balance and she literally didn't meet all the requirements to become HQ.

but the second time she was brought back to life it was done by Nesta and her powers. the last missing piece of the puzzle for feyre to become HQ. so i can see her in the next book dealing with major power amplification etc.

her becoming HQ makes thematically more sense and i will die on this hill. and no rhysand won't be HK sorry to break it to some of yall but he doesn't meet the requirements and him becoming HK would disrupt the world balance once again because there would be power vacuum in night court. now will nyx be the next HK after feyre? debe table, we will be able to tell more after the next book.

depression is so weird because you're doing fine and then boom suddenly you can hardly move because your body is too heavy and too wrong and you feel phantom pain in your chest that it makes you wonder if you are missing some vital organ

and then you think about it and you realize it wasn't so sudden, because you felt the heaviness gradually settle in your body and you noticed you are sleeping too much (but you blamed it on being tired) and you remember how agitated you were last friday and suddenly it clicks that it never left. you were doing fine only because you had it in you to fight but now you lay in your bed defeated

[0lk0s]

the uprise of comments like 'did we read the same books?😂😂😂' etc when nesta stans criticize anything regarding the characters/books overall is so funny to me, because we did read the same shit books but one party is willing to consume the content critically and think about what they're reading while the other party thinks sjm books are peak literature because 'DICK, bOOBieS!!!, hOT MaLEs, sEEEXxxx!!'

and im not literature classist, im a firm believer you can read whatever you want and not every book needs to be revolutionary piece of writing BUT come on now! if you're reading trash books, let's not act like it's something it simply isn't!

also that 'agrument' (can we even call it one?) is genuinely cheap and doesn't help their case at all💀 if your reaction to a different argument is this, instead of rethinking your pov... oh we're doomed as a species!

[0lk0s]

i come here to ramble about terrible book series but i need you people to understand that i don't like those books. like at all. i have a weird attachment with them and find them easy to read. but sjm is quite literally the worst author that is moderately famous. so yeah idk just wanted yall to know that lol

[0lk0s]

everytime i see a person downplay aelin's power i genuinely want to scream and rip them to pieces!!

no, the overgrown purple bat isn't stronger than her! neither is dorian! none of cc characters touch her! only character who could win against her is pre-'giving her powers away' nesta wielding all three parts of dread trove! end of discussion

[0lk0s]

i simply cannot comprehend why Feyre isnt the high queen. not only it does make narratively so much sense, sjm was lowkey alluding to it. like the story would be so much more fun and better if we got reverse harem in the second book where every high lord is trying to court her🫣 just saying

[0lk0s]

well tbf the most powerful magical item was at his disposal so it makes sense they needed to team up. what doesn't make sense at all is the fact he can use the cauldron without any reprocussions while basically no one can wield the dread trove(items that come from the cauldron)🙄 these inconsistentcies make it extremely hard to powerscale the characters and it's another prove how bad of a writer sjm actually is lol

POWER SCALING OF ACOTAR CHARACTERS:

1. NESTA ARCHERON - as a human was able to resist powers of high lord, her powers shook the world, stopped time itself, brought two(three technically) faes back to life, killed true immortal, wields the trove, killed the wyrm thing and now one of the best feats of the entire maas verse: KILLED AN ASTERI

2. AMREN - her unleashing her true form ended the war with hybern, super old and powerful, she has other feats but idk don't like her enough to thing about it

3. RHYSAND - his powers made mountain shook, misted hundred of soldiers(btw this isnt really that good of a feat as majority of yall think), has proven he has an edge against the other high lords, his best feat(top five acotar feats): repaired the cauldron with the help of feyre

4. FEYRE ARCHERON - as a human killed the mydgard wyrm thing (the best BIQ feat of acotar, arguably the whole maas verse), with months of training she was able to use her daemati powers well enough for them to work on high lord, definitely the most potential in acotar(can see her climbing to #2 in the future), all her powers give her an edge against the other high lords, her best feat: repaired the cauldron with the help of rhysand

5. ALL THE OTHER HIGH LORDS - self explanatory

6. HEIRS OF HIGH LORDS - self explanatory

7. AZRIEL - one of the two most formidable warriors of night court, shadowsinger abilities give him the edge against cassian

8. CASSIAN - self explanatory

king of hybern has essentially no feats without cauldron so idk he kinda lame, morrigan has also nothing so yeah!! if you think i missed anything lemme know🫶🏻

sometimes i wonder what would happen if nesta didn't take from cauldron and just let it give her powers and now I also started pondering on what it would mean regarding the end of hofas

HOFAS SPOILERS later

like i highly doubt she would end up just a regular high fae. cauldron LOVES elain and gave her cunty powers, so i think it's sentience would recognize the love nesta has for elain and how she innately acts as her protector so she would still receive crazy powers.

but i believe her taking its power was essential for her to become future high lady of dusk court. cauldron is tied with the world of prythian itself so by taking from it she literally gained power from the world/land. what other faes are connected to the land of their courts? high motheyucking lords.

that's not all though. high lords possess significant more magic than other high faes, they can literally go insane if they don't use certain amount daily. so even if just getting starsword from bryce was all that was needed for her to become high lady of dusk, i don't think her body would be able to withstand it. but luckily cauldrons magic had already made indentation, now that majority of it is gone, theres hole ready to be filled with the magic of the dusk court land.

i think in the next acotar book we will see her slowly coming to the realization she's slowly becoming a high lady. it will probably start with her either killing all the beings in prison or recruiting them. after that she will probably notice that prison responds to her the same way as it did for bryce and she'll change it back to it's original glory as a palace. she might get a new power but I highly doubt that(death is probably the power of dusk court, since dawn has the healing). then what happened in avallen or whatever it's called happens to dusk court territory and all of her power manifests. and boom we have high lady of dusk court in her full glory.

[0lk0s]

seeing people drag nesta for giving bryce the mask is crazy lmao

like what was she supposed to do? wait for rhysand to tell her she can do it? because if we imply yalls logic that she endangered the world by her decision, she should have asked every being in that world right?

maybe it wasn't her decision to make, but for sure it wasn't rhysands or ic's... trove answers to her so i would argue she has the most authority to decide

anyways it would be ten times better if bryce actually asked her to go fight😩 bryce saw that nesta is capable of killing asteri, so why wouldn't she ask her to join? from what was established about bryce in this book, it's perfectly in character for her. but whatever ig
