#pro archeron sisters

[simmanin]

Amren wanting to use the Archeron sisters as the Night Court’s personal weapons and Rhysand still entertaining her will always rub me the wrong way.

In fact, that whole scene from Chapter 42 of ACOSF makes my eye twitch.

We have Amren saying “Simply don’t volunteer the information,” (*cough* like not telling a pregnant woman about the threat to her life? *cough*) and Rhysand is like “yup! order holds!!”

And then we have Amren thinking the Made items belong to Rhys, just because they showed up. When none of these items answer to him. Because, uhhh *checks notes*, HE’S NOT MADE!! He would have to risk one of the Archeron sisters lives to use any of the Troves, and then the weapons that Nesta MADE herself do not belong to him at all.

Again, we have Amren speaking on Feyre’s behalf. On her High Lady’s behalf. How so many important conversations happen behind Feyre’s back is actually astounding. Do none of them think to include her or what? C’mon Amren, tell Feyre how you wanna use her and her sisters as weapons. I bet that will bode well 🙃

FINALLY, Amren just comes out and says it. Her readiness to make the Archeron sisters put their lives on the line so Rhysand can become High King is so???? These girls are not weapons to be used at Amren’s disposal, and I really despise Rhys for even entertaining the idea.

And the fact that SJM made Nesta bow to Amren after this stupid little meeting makes my blood boil. I truly hope that they’re not friends in the future.

I honestly appreciate you all tolerating my deranged art

Okay I have a rant .

I'm really tired of reading about dumb fmcs , like feyre makes the dumbest decisions ever ( in retrospect she has been manipulated and brainwashed ) .

I really don't understand why people think she would make a good leader , the title of the High Lady is just that , a title , its just perfromative feminism on both sjm and rhysands part .

Hot take: Feyre should not have become a ruler. I know that authors think that their mains have to become the rulers or whatever, but it simply does not make sense for Feyre. She has no formal training, she is the most removed from her family's educated background, and she can barely even read for fuck's sake. The Tamlin-Feyre relationship makes sense because they're both artists forced to be warriors and the main providers...but that's not where their strength lies. That's not even what they want to do. And in this case, there's no "girlboss" moment of "embracing power," because they are already in the role of leader. It would've been more compelling for them to give up the rule and accept that there are others far more worthy of ruling. This is not a dig at Tamlin or Feyre; both did the best they could given the situation they were in, but it's simply not where they were meant to be. Not everyone is capable of ruling a kingdom; that doesn't mean they're lesser than others. Not everyone can be a warrior or an artist, either. Feyre and Tamlin could've been living their best cottage-core life at this point if SJM actually understood how to write character arcs. Sad. Tamlin and Feyre deserve a break. Nesta and Elain on the other hand? Born to rule. Not only were they raised for it, but they've got all the characteristics of good rulers. Nesta-Eris and Elain-Lucien are two amazing ruling pairs with two very different ruling styles depending on what court they're in and what kind of leadership is needed. Nesta and Eris would rule with a heavy hand where drastic change is needed and they have to deal with the Autumn Court assholes. Elain and Lucien would rule with their charisma and love. Ultimately, Elain and Lucien are the best suited to rule, Nesta and Eris second, and Feyre and Tamlin last. I am not counting the bat boys in this as they don't belong anywhere near a ruling position.

Every FMC could stand to learn a thing or two from Jude Duarte. That's all.

I want a scene of the archeron sisters picking flowers, making flower crowns, braiding each other's hair, and truly being vulnerable with each other.

I need them to become a trio of the baddest sisters.

[acourtofquietdreamers]

I’ve seen some discourse lately claiming Elain is jealous of her sisters and she’ll never be close with them or fit in. I personally believe the Archeron sisters have a relationship that is worth mending and I hope to see it grow stronger in Elain’s book. Here’s some lovely quotes showcasing Elain’s love for her sisters 😌

“You should come with me,” Elain went on. “Nesta won’t go, because she says she doesn’t want to risk the sea crossing, but you and I…Oh, we’d have fun, wouldn’t we?”

Elain, to my surprise, had a horse, a satchel of food, and supplies ready when I hurried down the stairs. My father was nowhere in sight. But Elain threw her arms around me, and, holding tightly, said, “I remember—I remember all of it now.”

She nodded, tears in her eyes. “I would have liked to see the continent with you, Feyre.”

She put a hand on Nesta’s knee, the purple of my sister’s gown nearly swallowing up the ivory hand. “Feyre gave and gave—for years. Let us now help her. Help…others.”

Elain sat a little higher as she said to Cassian, “And as for Feyre’s hunting during those years, it was not Nesta’s neglect alone that is to blame. We were scared, and had received no training, and everything had been taken, and we failed her. Both of us.”

“Did you know,” I said over the sound of my sawing, “that one summer, when I was seventeen, Elain bought me some paint? We’d had just enough to spend on extra things, and she bought me and Nesta presents. She didn’t have enough for a full set, but bought me red and blue and yellow.”

Before I could turn back, Elain threw her arms around me. I did not remember when I began to cry as I felt those slender arms hold me, tight as steel.

But I did remember lying down on the bearskin rug once it was done. How I felt Elain’s slim body settle next to mine and curl into my side, careful not to touch the bandaged wound in my shoulder. I had not realized how cold I was until her warmth seeped into me. A moment later, another warm body nestled on my left. Nesta’s scent drifted over me, fire and steel and unbending will.

Elain stepped out of a shadow behind him, and rammed Truth-Teller to the hilt through the back of the king’s neck as she snarled in his ear, “Don’t you touch my sister.”

A gift for Nesta, she’d said. She was looking for a gift for our sister, regardless of whether Nesta deigned to join us tomorrow.

“I asked Nuala to do it in that order,” Elain said as the others gathered round. “Because you’re the foundation, the one who lifts us. You always have been.”

From the edge of my vision, purple and gold flashed—Elain. “You’ll fall ill if you just stand there in the cold,” she tutted to Nesta, smiling broadly. “Come sit with me by the fire.”

“Their dancing was that good; she was that beautiful. And when it ended…I knew she was an artist then. The same way Feyre is. But what Feyre does with paint, that’s what Nesta did with music and dance.”

Elain nodded, folding her hands in her lap. “So I’m very pleased to hear of this Valkyrie business. I’m happy that Nesta finds interest in something again. And might channel all of…that into it.”

“Oh, fuck you,” Nesta snapped, and then choked. Elain blinked. Nesta blinked back, horror lurching through her. And then Elain burst out laughing. Howling, half-sobbing laughs that sent her bending over at the waist, gasping for breath. Nesta just stared, torn between questions and wanting to throw herself into the icy Sidra. “I—I’m so sorry—” Elain held up a hand, wiping her eyes with the other. “You’ve never said such a thing to me!” She laughed again. “I think that’s a good sign, isn’t it?”

A hand slid into Nesta’s, and she found Elain there, shaking and wide-eyed. Nesta squeezed her sister’s fingers. Together, they approached the other side of the bed. And when Elain began praying to the Fae’s foreign gods, to their Mother, Nesta bowed her head, too.

Cassian looked across the bed, to where Elain was holding Feyre’s other hand, and Nesta held Elain’s.

She found Feyre and Elain waiting halfway down the hill, Nyx now dozing peacefully in Elain’s arms. Her sisters beamed, beckoning her to join.

Hey team! Just saw a great video on tiktok by Nicole MeKeon Author and reposted it there, but wanted to share the info here too because I know while some people enjoy kinda being "in the thick of it all" with the ship wars, there are also people like me who genuinely try to be kind but are deeply sensitive and sometimes get assaulted with the algorithm sending us videos of people saying really mean things about the things or characters we love, or at worst making comments on women's reproductive abilities. As someone who loves Gwyn but has an extremely traumatic medical history that I don't feel I need to share to be respected, I had to block G/wynriel on Tumblr early on. I did not think you could do this on Tiktok, but you can! So just like on Tumblr, you can filter those hashtags and try to create a more positive environment for yourself and wellbeing in an intense fandom!

First, click on your profile and go to Settings and Privacy, then select Content Preferences:

Then select Filter video keywords:

Then add the tags you'd like to filter!

For me, although I am genuinely interested in others opinions and have zero issue with the fact that other ships exist, I've just had to take steps to protect my emotional well being and love for the characters. Filtering these tags actually allow me to keep my love for the characters alive and not get caught up in the bullying that occurs in the ship space. I truly mean no harm!

I hope this share helps you find some more peace if you are like me and the algorithm sometimes assaults you with people who are not always kind when commenting on characters or couples you love. And I know all sides do it! So I hope this helps whoever comes across it!

Hugs to you all. Stay safe out there.

I HAVE TO RANT.

The only series of SJM I can ever read is TOG (Throne of Glass) and that's it.

That is the only one of her series that has the best worldbuilding, plot twists, romance and characters.

ACOTAR RUINED fantasy novels for me and not even in a good way.

I mean, in a bad way, that I can't pick up a fantasy novel anymore, in fear that it'll be like ACOTAR.

Yes, I used to be a sweet summer child who thought ACOTAR was amazing, Rhysand was so romantic and Tamlin was a tool.

I was the tool.

I'm now in college and I read ACOTAR & ACOMAF & ACOWAR last year.

I stopped after ACOWAR because NEVER FUCKING AGAIN WILL YOU CATCH ME READ THAT SERIES.

I can't even begin with the non-existent lines between misogyny and romance and hypocrisy and the lack of actual world-building and how I NEED to drag the Archeron Sisters FAR FAR AWAY, YES ALL THREE OF THEM.

[thatpurpledudetrey]

nesta literally telling feyre that shes going to fucking died from the babe in an unpleasant way is literally just an argumental point for rhys stans to use to cover up the fact he LITERALLY hide a medical information from feyre?!?!?!? bro HE was the on who started this shit not fucking nesta????

it was rhysand's fault, he started this shit by being a stupid bitch who decided to not tell feyre

[thoughtfulshepherdmongerkid]

I feel it’s fitting that Nesta was my most confident one to do

And that elain would show the beginnings of the struggle

And lastly that Feyre would take so many attempts in true artist fashion

[simmanin]

It always confuses me when people make a big deal over Elain not getting credit for killing Hybern. I always assumed she didn’t want to be associated with it, seeing as how she doesn’t like violence (her throwing up before the war). It wasn’t some glorious thing she did, she stabbed him because her sister was in danger. She had no other choice, it was either watch her sister be killed or stab him. I doubt she would want to relive that every time someone associated her with killing the King of Hybern.

Also, people act like Nesta takes the blame for some type of glory? Do you not know her character? Sure, she uses it as leverage at times against people, but I think she took full blame so the attention would shift off of Elain. So people wouldn’t go after Elain, if anyone chose to retaliate. And so Elain wouldn’t have to relive it every day when people mentioned her killing him. They always bring it up when Nesta is in the room, imagine how uncomfortable that would make Elain lmao.

Even Elain says this to Lucien after it happened in ACOWAR:

To me, it sounds like she does not want to be associated with it. At all.

I’m not sure why some people act like it’s stolen valor for Nesta to “take credit”. It’s so obvious to me that 1. Elain doesn’t want to be associated with it and 2. Nesta took the blame so the focus won’t shift to her sister.

My girls 🥰

[lorcandidlucienwill]

We're told the Cauldron is corrupt but we have little evidence of that fact. Yeah it made the trove but like it gave Elain something and Nesta took something and nothing happened to them???? I think it would've been cool if the cauldron tried to corrupt them both but Elain was able to resist because of her hopeful positive nature but Nesta was corrupted because she desired a life greater than what she had been given and was bitter, ambitious, and angry. And she joined Hybern and ultimately Feyre and Elain had to save her, Feyre reminding her of her death promise to the king of Hybern and Elain reminding Nesta how to love, and Nesta does some awesome shit and kills the King and the sisters are reunited and learn to love each other and and and... Goddamnit. opens an empty document.

[silly--fangirl]

i think we all need to start putting much more shame on the archeron parents' name but people aren't ready to hear that

[sjmgirlie]

I don’t know why this even has to be said but I’m really starting to hate this fandoms negativity towards characters in ACOTAR. Specifically the Archeron sisters who are the main characters (yes, they are):

Liking one of the Archeron sisters does NOT automatically make you need to hate the other two???

Like.. their problems with each other (other than Feyre going to hunt but this is fantasy) are the dynamic of sisters.. one minute you hate them and the next you’re all laying in bed hugging each other thankful you have them.

The point of character plots, in my mind, past the fantasy world good/evil is to highlight very human themes. This is why we love the stories we read. They remind us of ourselves or others or perhaps give us another lens into something we don’t know.

I don’t know why reading Nesta’s book automatically makes us have to hate Feyre or Elain. Or vice versa. This definitely was not SJMs intention. They all do things that are wrong. This is human nature…

In the end, like real life, these sisters would die for each other and I have no doubt about that. In ACOTAR, Nesta ventured to the wall with a mercenary she paid to try and get Feyre back. In ACOMAF, Elain makes all the staff leave so Feyre can host her meeting, acknowledging that they had let their sister down. In ACOSF, while somewhat extreme, Feyre/Elain pulled the plug on Nesta’s destructive ways. She left her to do what she needed first did she not? But she was rotting away, and she couldn’t see her sister like that anymore. And based on Nesta’s personality, I do think the idea of “training” was actually fitting. She needed a physical release that was not harmful. And in the end we see that she needed that house too.

All these characters are flawed. Every single one. But that’s just what makes us relate and love them in the end. They may be in a made up world with powers, but the actual characteristics are not made up. They show true human nature.

So you can love Nesta more, or Feyre, or Elain, but in the end, they are just made up. We’ve seem a lot of Feyre and her self sacrificing tendencies. This is why her and Rhys are mirrors. We’ve seen Nesta’s self hatred, and her healing, and we know Cassian faced a similar struggle as well. Now we might see Elain, who is a wild card to be honest, but I’m sure it will relate to her being underestimated and undervalued. Each of these relate to how many of us might feel in our daily lives.

Please try and be kind to those who may relate to another character more, and not discredit their feelings. We all have our own mountains to conquer, just like these sisters. This is why we love them.
