people be like “just sit down and write” as if i’m not already fighting 12 inner demons, a collapsing attention span, and the evil spirit of a plot hole i forgot to fix in chapter two

One of the best things about stanning Nesta is that we don't have to steal from other characters' story arcs.

Our girl controls the Dread Trove, she wields Gwydion, and she dominates all Starborn/Dusk Court/world-walking foreshadowing.

She may be one of the most hated characters in the fandom, but everyone is constantly stealing from her story arc to give to their fav's.

less "can you handle a mean female character" or more "can you handle a female character that has unpalatable traits to you personally but would shrug off if a male character had them"

seeing straight men be disgusted by booktok smut recommenders has actually radicalized me to the side of booktok smut recommenders. girls your taste may be atrocious but i will never disparage you for exposing mainstream discourse to the concept of soaking through your underwear. spent my whole life listening to men talk about penises it’s about time they get jumpscared by women talking about pussy in crude detail on social media. go forth and goon my warriors

To be very super duper honest I don't need no reason to dislike Feyre - my annoyance with her is very very real unlike her fictional bullshit - BUT what she did in Spring Court really sealed it for me that she was a selfish little girl with no depth to her but her being a petty bitch with anyone that doesn't put her on a high enough pedestal for her liking. 🤷🏻‍♀️

People only wanted Nesta to consult with Rhysand so he would get credit for saving all worlds.

I've seen the posts prior to CC3's release where people thought that Rhysand would sympathize with Midgard, that he would help them. It kills them that it was Nesta who sympathized and Nesta who helped, so now they have to say that she was in the wrong for not consulting him.

If Nesta had asked for Rhysand's permission and If Rhys had given Nesta approval to give Bryce the Mask then people would be talking about how selfless he is and how he saved all worlds because Nesta would have been too selfish to give Bryce the Mask had Rhysand not told her too.

But since Nesta gave Bryce the Mask without Rhysand's permission, she - not he - is a hero of the crossover, and Nesta antis can't have that.

sometimes the best writing advice is "just let it be bad." revolutionary. terrifying. but it works.

Tamlin telling Nesta in ACOSF "You are just as nasty as your sister said you'd be", is such a rage baiting exchange between them for me. It very clearly highlights the way that Feyre victimizes herself to every single person she meets, to the point where every character that she interacts with before her sisters comes away thinking that Nesta is the person that should be held responsible for everything that Feyre has gone thru. In doing so, Feyre basically lays the groundwork for all the negative interactions that Nesta has with anyone that Feyre gets to first - because everyone ends up tripping all over themselves to become one of Feyre's many revenge proxies. Tamlin, Rhysand - and by extension the Inner Circle - all of them get the same sob story and all come away with the same conclusion about Nesta. It's not their mother that gets any blame, or their father and definitely not Elain, it is ALWAYS Nesta.

And if this isn't a huge sign to the reader that Feyre is not only an unreliable narrator but that she is a very bias one, I don't know what is.....but most people still do not get it! I was calling bullshit from Book 1, but I guess I'm some kind of anomaly.

Just about the only thing that ACOSF got right was to point out that anyone that Nesta met in the series outside of Feyre, likes her and gets along with her fine..., but it also felt like too little to late for me.

And I'll add this - and this goes out to the "as an older sibling, I would never" crowd - I have 3 siblings, and the way that we treated each other growing up makes the Archeron sisters look like saints. We said and did some really wild things to each other growing up. One thing I never did and will never do, is bad mouth my siblings to anyone that I just met. The last thing I would ever want or would allow is for someone who barely knows my siblings at all to treat them negatively on my behalf. That is a very hard line in the sand that I do not allow people to cross.

"Nesta only cares about her trauma!"

Is that why she invited Gwyn and Emerie to training to help them through their trauma?

Is that why she tricked Cassian into coming into the library to show the priestesses how he trained her in an effort to encourage them to come to training to help them with their trauma?

Is that why she silently informed Gwyn that she would listen to her story when she was ready to tell it?

Is that why she spent all of her book caring more about Feyre's trauma than her own?

Is that why she went to dinner in the House specifically to see Cassian to find out what was wrong with him?

Is that why she gave Cassian a blow job to comfort him?

Is that why she asked Feyre about her fear of inclosed spaces when they were at Greyson's keep?

Is that why she turned into Elain's 24/7 caretaker for months on end after they were turned High Fae against their will?

Is that why she made sure Lucien kept his distance from Elain?

Is that why she slapped Greyson when he hurt Elain's feelings?

Is that why she tried to rescue Feyre from Prythian?

Is that why she told Feyre to leave them and go back to Tamlin?

Is that why she refused to ask about Az's scarred hands because she didn't want to make him relive his trauma?

Is that why she asked Bryce to play more music when she sensed Bryce starting to spiral into despair?

Is that why she took Emerie up to a different level of the library when she noticed her being overcome by her past trauma?

I could continue, but you get the point.

Nesta cares more about everyone else's trauma than her own, which is why she never opens up about her trauma. It's also why we get such bullshit lines like, "Our mother treated Feyre even worse" even though anyone with two braincells can piece together enough of canon to know that their mother abusing Nesta is worse than their mother ignoring Feyre.

At this point, Nesta antis are just making up reasons to justify their hatred of Nesta.

I have arrived to a point in Acotar where the only character I care about is Nesta Archeron.

So the other characters are either liked or "unliked" depending on how they treat Nesta.

So Emerie, Gwyn, the HoW and the priestess are beloved.

Cassian, Azriel, Lucien and Eris Vanserra walk a thin line.

Elain is in time out until she decides to be a decent sister again.

The Feysand better never appear before me 'cause they risk the tongue lashing of their lives.

Mor and Amren who? I don't know them. Fuck them honestly.
