@nestaarcheronweek Day 5: Mother // made by renitorii on Instagram, commissioned by me

Mommy! Who said that 👀 (Iro did such an insane job please see here for the dress this was based on)

Was this supposed to be for day 7 maybe but I'm physically incapable of keeping comms to myself. Anyways we all know the mother herself watches over Nesta, I can't wait to see where that and the eight pointed star on her back takes her!

I've just downed an entire bottle of muscat so I will not remember posting this but the level of self insertion in the ACOTAR fandom is kind of crazy

Like I'll take Nesta cause she's my fave but the whole thing of you either like or hate Nesta based on whether "you've had a Nesta or been a Nesta" is crazy...if I was to project myself onto a character in the acotar verse my life is probably most similar to Feyre's but that holds no influence on how much I like or dislike a character.

I enjoyed/found Nesta's character pre-ACOSF because I thought her anger at father was justified, I understood her transference of hatred of the situation she was in/papa Archeron onto Feyre for having the gall to save them deeply interesting.

I thought her relationship with Elain (and Feyre's or an extent) was a good look at how children are conditioned to protect whoever is presented as the most vulnerable and how you eventually start to resent them for that

I thought the fact that she hated Feyre (canon please read the bonus chapter) but would still make a deal with a mercenary and cross into Pyrthian on sheer principle fascinating.

I found her hating here position post forced transition into a Fae but still doing everything asked of her eye opening into her character.

I thought that her character being deemed "morally grey" by the fandom because of her interpersonal relationships while actually being the most morally rigid character in the acotarverse interesting because it shows how female characters are often stripped to their worst selves even when shown growth past this and aren't given the same leniency or complexity as male characters even while having it written on page.

I hate this era of relatability we've been forced into where you need to decide whether you like a character on the basis of whether they share similarities with people who have done you right or wrong in real life. Nesta is my fave based on the merit of how she's written.. end of.

I also hated the idea where you would hate a character if you knew them in real life. I refuse to divulge my personal information here but as aforementioned if we're talking about characters I've basically been a much worse off version of Feyre but Nesta didn't hurt me, she isn't real.

[iocaisaint]

Valkyries art piece, Neris art piece and Nesta solo art secured now I'm just deciding if I should do Nesta/Azriel brotp, Nesta as a mom, or Nesta interacting with The Mother

coming back for my girl 🫶🏾

♕ Announcing Nesta Archeron Appreciation Week 2025 ♕

Join us in celebrating Nesta Archeron from April 21 through April 27, 2025!

Welcome to Nesta Week 2025! Feel free to participate in any way you can, from headcanons, fanart, moodboards, fics, drabbles…. no matter how big or small, anything celebrating Nesta is welcome!

Please tag @nestaarcheronweek and use the tag #NestaWeek2025 so we can see all your lovely posts!

This year’s prompts are as follows:

Day One: Bonds ♕ Nesta has forged many bonds during the series, from the Valkyries, to Elain and Feyre, to even a brotp with Azriel. What do you think of the bonds she's formed with her family and friends?

Day Two: Mask ♕ Nesta wielded the mask in ACOSF, but she's also an expert in hiding her true thoughts and feelings. What does Nesta wearing a mask mean to you?

Day Three: True North ♕ The eight-pointed star has many meanings in Nesta’s journey, but the path is far from over. Where do you think her star is pointing?

Day Four: Lover ♕ Nesta has had many opportunities for love across Prythain — who do you ship her with? Cassian? Emerie? Eris? Gwyn? Azriel? Cresseida? Any and all ships are welcome!

Day Five: Mother ♕ Not only does Nesta have a bond with the Mother, but she's also mommy Mother. How do you see this word applying to her?

Day Six: Birthday Girl ♕ While Nesta doesn’t have a specified birthday in canon, that doesn’t mean we can’t celebrate our favorite character turning a year older! How do you think Nesta and the people who love her would celebrate her special day?

Day Seven: Free Day ♕ Any topic of your choosing!

A huge shoutout to @dustjacketmusings, @c-e-d-dreamer, @kale-theteaqueen, @whyisaravenlike-awritingdesk, @unhealthyfanobsession, @wishcamper, @jellybeanjellyfishblog, @xxvalkyriesxx, @jsmelodies, @melphss, and @podemechamardek for helping to organize this event!

Please contact @moodymelanist or the event page directly with any questions. We can’t wait to see what you all create!

let's do some late night Valkyrie posting who do we think is the shortest we know Gwyn is canonically the tallest, my guess is Nesta but it'd be funny if it was Emerie 🤔

[iocaisaint]

Emerie definitely hits either a cigar or blunt after long day at her shop, Nesta one of those people who says "i don't smoke" while having a cigarette in her hand. Gwyn thinks they're both gross for it.

Azriel chain smokes or is clean for like 4 months no in between.

Eris is a control freak in all things so he allows himself exactly 1 (one) Cuban cigar every 3 days.

Gwyn refuses to smoke so one day Nesta makes edibles and Valkyries (and HOW) get high as fuck

Cassian ever the gym bro thinks it's gross but would probably benefit from a blunt

acotar characters that smoke:

Eris

Azriel

Nesta

Amren

Mor

the Nesta modesty discourse is so weird because all someone said is that Nesta is often dressed in more revealing clothes when drawn alongside Feyre and Elain (her sisters) which is weird because Nesta is the only character on page who we know hates being dressed in revealing clothing and will avoid it if she can...no one brought in ships, men or attached morality to dressing modestly/not dressing modestly until some of started throwing around accusations of slut shaming (for pointing out a fact)

Now my opinion is that mean "bitchy" female characters are often sexualised in this weird "femme fatale" thing that fandoms regularly assign to them as their archetype whether it fits them or not (it does not Nesta is literally a bookworm who kills terrible people on the side), also Nesta is noted to be the more curvy of her sisters so we'll just sprinkle that in too.

This goes without saying but people can draw anything they want and every piece of art is a gift but it's hard not to notice a trend when it happens with nearly every time she's in an ensemble

Happy New Year's 🎉

I will always believe that Feyre should've been Rhys's reckoning, on some "I'm lying to him and he's lying to me, fuck it, guess we both ain't shit". It would've been so delicious

Feyre Archeron, but as Feyre Cursebreaker instead of the High Lady. What if she had to visit the courts to understand and master her powers? Since the whole High King crap didn’t work the first time, Feyre could instead take on the role of keeping peace and balance between the courts, as well as saving and protecting Prythian’s magic (Atla reference). Have Tamlin’s paranoia come true about people coming after her because she possesses the High Lords’ magic. It would add layers of tension and danger to her journey.

It would also be interesting to see each court as equally powerful and none can survive without the others. Imagine the dynamic between Rhysand vs Tamlin, with the Spring Court being such a vital core of Prythian- interconnected with and as necessary as the Night Court.

Feysand, but with Rhys as a morally gray character who cares only about his own gain. The sole reason he kept Feyre alive Under the Mountain was because she was the key to his freedom and nothing more. After Feyre gains power from each High Lord and becomes a symbol of freedom and peace (something similar), Rhys begins to see her as a weapon- a means to make his court the most powerful of them all (he lies to her that he needs her to win the war and save Prythian). But will he stay true to his ambitions when he finds himself falling in love with her? 😏 (They both aren’t aware of the mating bond)

Idk, this is just a fun concept. Let me know what you think.

y'all what should be the book I complete my reading goal with 👀 (I take anons)

Hi all,

I am studying the effect of familiarity for my thesis (how well you know a piece of media) on perception of character and actions.

I need 100 respondents so if you could do this survey; share and reblog it I'd really appreciate it!

Double points if you're in the IWTV fandom 👀
