Instead she said, “You’re angry with me.”
Bitch you packed her shit behind her back to help the inner circle lock her up, and then you told her to not be so miserable about it and you expected her to not be angry??
“For packing my things while Rhysand and Feyre told me I’m a worthless pile of shit? Yes.” Elain crossed her arms and said calmly, sadly, “Feyre warned me this might happen.” The words struck Nesta like a slap.
This bitch??
“Don’t ever mention him.” Nesta bared her teeth, but kept her voice low. “Never fucking mention him again.”
Guess what? She mentioned him again lmao
Pain slowly washed over Elain’s face. And understanding. “Is that what this is all about? Father?”
Nesta pointed to the door, finger shaking with the effort of keeping that writhing power at bay. Each word from Elain’s mouth threatened to undo her restraint. “Get out.”
Guess what? She didn’t get out lmao and kept on mentioning her father anyways.
And then when Nesta snapped- Elain finally got out, and cried
Her brown eyes were bright with tears, but she kept her chin high. “I want to go home,” she said, voice wobbling slightly.
Yes please go away
Elain stood by the rail, the breeze caressing her hair. “She’s not getting any better. She’s not even trying.” She wrapped her arms around herself and stared toward the distant sea.
So you tell her to not be so miserable, and you mention talking about her with Feyre, and you bring up her father when Nesta clearly said to not mention him, and you proceed to talk about him, and then when she tells you to get out, you don’t get out, and when she snaps and reacts negatively, she’s somehow not getting any better because she’s not nice to you after you were being an asshole. Nice.
See this is the fucking problem, Nesta shows any emotion and somehow she’s not getting better because she should just sit there and take it and be the obedient female they want her to be. They want her to sit back- and allow them to disrespect her and throw very disgusting words at her. And when she isn’t doing that, then she has a problem and she needs to be fixed.

When you realize that Elain is a gardener so in this scene it wasn’t the dirt she was shrinking away from…it was Feyre.
You know why I can move on from Nesta in ACOTAR (because yes I love Nesta but I’ll never defend her behavior in ACOTAR) Anyways…I can let go of Nesta’s behavior because the author doesn’t shy away from it. Nesta was horrible. That’s who she was. She didn’t shy away from it and everyone knew what she was capable of. That being established,from ACOWAR we begin to see more to her. We begin to realize there’s more to Nesta underneath the surface and in ACOSF we saw who she could become if she let go of all the issues she had and started to heal.
With Elain,it’s like SJM forgot who she wrote in ACOTAR. You expect me to believe that Elain is kind? Like you can’t have moments of “kindness” and the next minute do something selfish and insufferable.
Where was this kindness in ACOSF when she visited Nesta and made Nesta’s trauma all about her then ran out crying making herself the victim and making Nesta look bad for defending herself…
Like if you're going to be shady…..be shady. Just be interesting while you do it and own up to it. Not hiding behind gardens and flowers and then in the same vein treat your sister like shit.
I swear I’m so tired of Feyre and Nesta brushing all her issues under the rug.

This is how Feyre sees Elain for goodness sakes. A pleasant companion. That is your sister.
Like do people realize by the end of ACOSF Feyre and Nesta have a better relationship than Feyre and Elain???
It annoys me to no end when people forget Elain’s role in that cabin. And she’s not even the youngest but you’d think she was the way everyone coddles her. And then SJM trying to let her off the hook by writing that ridiculous “Elain is Elain” line.

Justice for Nesta recs (AO3)
Most, if not all, of these recs are in the Justice for Nesta/ ACOSF rewrite/fix-it vein. It will be updates as I find more fics, but feel free to send any recs you have.
TRIGGER WARNING! Many of these fics will be very dark, with references to suicide, ptsd, misogyny, and IC BS. However, I'll be sure to add specifics where applicable.
Fics For Those Craving Nesta JusticeI put all the fics I found into one collection on AO3 that, as the title suggests, are for those craving Nesta Justice. Please read the relevant tags for each fic, as many of them contain reference to PTSD, SA (both past referenced and in story), and general IC BS.
I'll also list every fic in this collection bellow, just to keep them all in one place. Feel free to also add your own finds or works if you have any. The collection is open, but moderated.

Feyre’s lovely family, pt. 6
ACoMaF- Chapter 24- When your family sucks, so do family dinners.
Feyre just discovered a new, negative after-effect of her rebirth. Unfortunetelly for her, Nesta notices, only to use it to pick on her.
Perhaps instead of bankrolling her drinking, the Night Court should provide some human food for Nesta after her transformation... I wonder if she's too good for it now.
Poster toxic household. When you can't even breathe without being mocked, you should fucking run ASAP. Or kick out those, who make it so.
I have to admire Rhysand for his self-restraint, because if someone talked this way to my loved one, and sneered on my land, I'd stab them with a fork. Preferebly dull one.
Cassian interferes.
... because when someone calls you out on your shitty behaviour, the most mature course of action is to ignore them. Self-reflection who?!
We were scared... that's why we prevented her from getting education and did absolutely nothing to improve our financial situation…
We had received no training, so we couldn't even try... growing food, giving lessons, sewing and mending for money… it simply never occured to us…
That's it?! Everything forgotten?! For fuck's sake, Feyre, have some self-respect!
Why is it always:
Nesta: *contrary, cruel, generally horrible*
Elain: *can't see evil, can't hear evil*
Feyre: *bending over backwards for them*
Oh, wow! They can do ~that~?!
pt. 1, pt. 2, pt. 3, pt. 4, pt. 5
