I finally watched The Sound of Music and like I get it now, I get it. 

It’s a beautiful two hour love story of a strict man finally opening his heart again and then a fifty minute public service announcement to hate the nazis. Brilliant.

for a man who is apparently a hardened, grief stricken naval hero decorated by the emperor, captain georg von trapp sure does spend a lot of time in soft focus like  the wistful male dreamer in a historical drama filmed in 1932

Mor’s disdain for Nesta: An Analysis

I doubt it will be discussed in this book, but I would love to see how complex Mor’s disdain for Nesta is. Because boy does she have a LOT of problems. She is essentially a “Nesta” character that is less honest with herself and others. Which makes her a hypocrite of course for being so judgmental, but it also makes her pain worse I think. In no situation does she allow herself to feel things fully and let them go. She burrows those feelings away, under lies and a bright, boisterous personality. Which is maybe why she doesn’t validate Cassian’s feelings either or let Azriel know that she doesn’t love him or tell anyone that she prefers women. This girl doesn’t tell the TRUTH… or at least she lies by omission. 

“You were always such a liar” Mor, in all situations we’ve seen of her, doesn’t really get upset. I mean she gets upset, but she doesn’t rage like Nesta. When Rhys makes a deal with Keir, what does she do? Nothing. When she sees Eris, what does she do? Nothing. Maybe a bit of backtalk. When Azriel clearly shows interests in her, she avoids it by sleeping with other people. When she gets mad at Feyre for leaving to go see the Suriel, what does she do? Blame Nesta for not telling them where she was. Nesta and her I think have similar personalities in the way that they don’t express exactly what they feel or mean, but the thing with Nesta is that even if she doesn’t say anything, she shows it. That’s her whole MO as we’ve seen in the books, that actions speak louder than words and boy does she say a lot in her actions. 

Nesta is going to be okay in this book, we know, even if now she’s at rock bottom. But healing for Nesta, I feel, wouldn’t be too hard, because of how she is. One, she’s a fighter and won’t give in, very stubborn, and two because she feels all of her emotion. Even if she’s said to be harsh to not want to feel things too fully, when she’s mad, you know she’s mad. If she hates you, she fully hates you to the point of full pettiness. When she cares, you know she cares. When she’s traumatized, she made the whole Inner Circle know she was traumatized. She signed that bill to them, kept pushing them away, kept sleeping around, and drinking like a giant billboard that said “hey I’m not okay here,” even if she didn’t do it intentionally. Nesta is a go big or go home type of person. Mor pretends she’s okay. Which is maybe how she copes, but I personally feel like it’s putting a band aid on a stab wound.

And if you think about it, Nesta will have a whole journey towards healing, and she is only 24. Mor is 500 and something, and she still has not had the journey towards healing and acceptance. They have the same people around them, they have practically the same backgrounds, being raised to be wives, parents being awful, having something terrible happen to them. But Nesta screams and rages and overcomes, and Mor smiles it away, becoming the person that could be considered fake or at least not completely genuine. 

It’s my head canon that this is the reason why Mor really doesn’t like Nesta. Because of envy–that she’s been in pain for 500 + years and no one has done anything, and Nesta’s been in pain for 9 months and look at all of these people who are so concerned about her (even if they have a weird way of showing it). They changed their entire routine, made each one of them participate in some way for this one girl who they don’t really like. I mean, I think that would be enough to boil my blood, personally. And maybe at some point, she wished to be like that. That if she really wanted to kill Keir or Eris she would, if she really wanted to speak the truth she would and that people would hear her like people hear Nesta without her ever making a sound.

But this is just my analysis.

also WHY does every american lit or american history or w/ever course contain the entire history and writings of england & greater europe up until the colonies but NO documentation of the oral histories and stories from actual native american tribes and look at how that influenced and was influenced by european traditions to create the “american” story. like i KNOW why but christ
