there’s something about a fourteen year old Feyre hunting in the woods for her family being absolutely horrifying to the inner circle but a fourteen year old nesta forced to use her body to seduce older men so she can get a marriage alliance for her family is just a funny little story for the inner circle to have a giggle over that gives them the idea that they should have adult Nesta use her body to seduce an older man into a marriage alliance. for her “family”.

Who would chose Nesta?
Cassian doesn't deserve Nesta. Fight me on this. Nesta would risk life and limb and death all over again for him. She'd face her trauma, climb mountains (regardless of how ethical it may be), and put her pride aside for him.
She would face her traumas and search for the cauldron for Elain and Feyre. For the court they love. She gave up her powers for Feyre and Nyx. She fought a war for Feyre. She faced Braylin, and found the trove so Nyx wouldn't grow up in a war-torn world.
Yet not a single Character would put her first, the way she puts them first. They didn't even try to accommodate her trauma by finding an alternative for baths, despite her telling them the issue and them promising to help.
Not one would love her unconditionally the way she loves them, or sacrifice for her, what she'd sacrifice for them.

Feyre being hated for speaking on her familial trauma/abuse to the Inner Circle will always be insane to me.
“She painted them out to be bad people and her the poor little victim” No they painted themselves out to be bad people and all she did was express how their actions hurt her. For a series that’s heavily focused on trauma and healing, I can’t believe people are so upset because a female character spoke on her own experiences.
Feyre didn’t paint herself out to be a victim. She simply was one. You can’t look at that Cabin situation and boldly say that Feyre was not a victim.

Reminder that none of the Archeron sisters can cook and Elain canonically didn’t start learning until acofas. Saying Elain or Nesta must’ve been cooking as a way to prove that it wasn’t just Feyre doing everything isn’t the gotcha moment some people think it is, because those two can’t cook either. Not to mention they didn’t have money for ingredients and when Feyre did bring in meat that’s all they ate.
Making arguments saying we and Feyre don’t value feminine work just because it’s not discussed by the author who cleaned their ramshackle, half broken cottage, is a fallacy. Not to mention, the Archeron’s were so poor that there wasn’t any room for this so called feminine work to be done. They were so deep in poverty the only thing that genuinely mattered was if they weren’t going to starve to death. Nesta and Elain canonically did nothing to keep the family alive.
Argue about the hypothetical things they may or may not have cleaned but when you find evidence of them actually doing something to support the family’s livelihood, come find me.

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.

“nesta needs her karma for favoring elain over feyre” SHE GOT IT. nesta poured her whole self into elain. didn’t leave her side for WEEKS when she was catatonic. she was always the closest with elain, thought Elain understood her more than anyone. and as soon as the going got tough elain jumped ship without a second thought. she literally packed up nesta’s things to send to the house of wind. she came up there when nesta was depressed and told her to her face she “doesn’t need to be so miserable about it.” being locked up against her will. she brought up their father and then nesta very clearly told her not to bring up their father and to get out. what did elain do in response? bring up their father again and does not get out. then she acts shocked when nesta snaps after she violated clear set boundaries, runs away crying, and complains about Nesta “not even trying to get better.” when has Elain once stuck up for Nesta? never. All the time, effort, and care was never reciprocated. Yeah, so Nesta got her karma for playing favorites and then some. Acting otherwise is being purposefully dense.

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.
Those the Stars Cannot Hear by @kataraavatara An ACOSF rewrite where Mor makes good on her threat to leave Nesta in the CON.
Baby, now we got bad blood by Pumpkinspice_Lou They say you should never come between a male and his mate. Rhysand should've known better. Aka Cassian finally choosing Nesta. Completed two-shot.
A Court of Vice and Victors by Wishcamper Acosf rewritten by a therapist. Need I say more? Incomplete.
You Made Her Like That By BookWorm77071 A few days into their Hike from Hell, Nesta is able to form one coherent thought: I don't want to do this anymore. So she stops. Three chapter short story. Completed.
Nesta becomes a baby by Theladyofbloodshed Exactly what the title says. Oneshot.
A Court of Tangled Flames by Theladyofbloodshed A Neris fic where Nesta gets the love story she deserves.

AU Where We Pretend Acosf Didn't Happen by Theladyofbloodshed An alternative take to ACOSF, starting from post ACOFS. Nesta ends up leaving Velaris, starting herself on a journey of self discovery and healing. TW Beron Vansera, implied/referenced SA, IC being assholes.

Second Chances by miryamdev Cassian apologises to Nesta after the HOFAS bonus chapter.
A trick of the light by closet_monster There was nothing condemning about madness or paralyzing fear. Nesta was familiar with both — they seemed to be a recurring theme in both womanhood and life in Hewn. Oneshot. TW Depression, self harm, and implied abuse.

A thousand cuts by adelindschade It finally clicks for Cassian just how badly Nesta was hurting (it only took three TW suicide TW attempts), so he decides to try thinking of what Nesta would want. This decision leaves a ripple effect that will change the NC as we know it. Incomplete.
The consequences of normality by TheTeaQueen After the events of ACOSF, things seem relatively normal. Until Cassian realises that Nesta doesn't ask for things, or that self hatred still grips her, or the facade she puts on for her family.

I saw someone say that the reason they ship e/riel is because neither az or elain are fleshed out characters and they don’t want lucien and gwyn to suffer from their dumb fuckery
and you know what
that is the first e/riel take I could potentially get behind

Feyre’s lovely family, pt. 6
ACoMaF- Chapter 24- When your family sucks, so do family dinners.
Tumblr media
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.
Tumblr media
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.
Tumblr media
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.
Tumblr media
... because when someone calls you out on your shitty behaviour, the most mature course of action is to ignore them. Self-reflection who?!
Tumblr media
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…
Tumblr media
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*
Tumblr media
Oh, wow! They can do ~that~?!
Tumblr media
pt. 1, pt. 2, pt. 3, pt. 4, pt. 5

It’s just irksome when I see some takes get completely misunderstood
• ‘the IC is 500 so? nesta is 25 she’s an adult’- the point is that the 500 year olds are living and have lived with their trauma for much longer and should have more knowledge on these things. Not only because of that but because as leaders I would think they would know how to handle these things in regards to people living in their court but as the CoN members indicate, they don’t. But Mor said Nesta would ‘thrive’ so that makes it totally okay. Wtf??
• ‘Pointing fingers at Rhys every time Nesta does something bad is all they do’- acting like stanning Feyr.e and tolerate Rhys by extension is fine but proceeding to dedicate almost every other post to go on and on dissing Nesta is just plain shallow and hypocritical. They can dislike Nesta all they want but if they can’t keep the same energy towards other characters in the name of Fey.re mistreatment then I 🙃 can’t take them seriously. But it’s okay I get theyre just a victims of the narrative
• ‘Rhys doesn’t even want to be high king how is everyone so mad at him’- what Rhys wants or not isn’t the problem it’s this agenda that keeps getting shoved about how Rhys is so good. Which might well end up happening because of it. And that’s the problem. Because why try to make him morally grey then go on and on about how amazing and kind and ✨hurt✨ and ✨misunderstood✨ he is.
• ‘People believe head canons are canon/Interpretation aren’t canon’- as maybe it’s been noted by now in this rant canon is the problem. If someone has emotions for certain characters wether good or bad all of them are valid because like it’s literally a human right to express yourself. The unpopular part of our interpretation is that it seems sjm specifically fashioned her work so specific characters can be hated then ‘redeemed’ and because of this ended up having half of us see her mcs are actually quite crappy and her side ones don’t align with half the punishments they keep getting, which I mean— if seeing those interpretations bothers someone I recommend just blocking or filtering a tag it’s actually quite simple. Which takes me to my next point though
• ‘Just because Nesta has a reason to be bitchy doesn’t make it right/Nesta’s wrongs keep getting compared to others’- it’s ironic to hear this because this logic is exactly why I dislike the IC. The ‘comparisons’ are moments of examples. Take the HoW Elain visit scene. She happily comes by to see Nesta to explain things which is really nice of her right? despite not being present to show this support during Nesta’s intervention, but wait, Nesta walked by her once in the street without acknowledging her while she was going through depression but remember thats no excuse for Nesta to do this, which right, but So Why doesn’t the same logic apply here to Elain though? The intervention was done abrasively as it was but because they love her despite her being a bitch and so Nesta deserves this mistreatment in the name of tough love! What happened to the reason isn’t excuse logic? Then word for word proceeds to tell her not to act so miserable. People are set up to believe this idea through the entire series that Nesta is cruel and more so in acosf because Nesta says this herself and oh good lord 🙄 let’s only remember the parts where it was super evil of Nesta to blame Elain about their dead father let’s completely forget the completely offhand comment Elain had just made and not just in the visit but the complete disregard of her during the intervention. And remember reason doesn’t equal excuse. But apparently that logic only applies to Nesta. Then to proceed to say Nesta isnt even ‘trying’ and still see Nesta as the only mean one here blows my mind. Let me make sure it’s understood— this is not a comparison about Elain vs Nesta it’s the fact Nesta is portrayed as cruel and any trauma or reason behind her actions are still inexcusable and also proceed to make any mistreatment of her warranted. Where is the reason isn’t excuse logic for her?! Yet she keeps getting this trauma invalidation by the fandom left and right?? And it’s justified to mistreat her?? How this narrative can go on and on for the whole book and readers actually believe it is beyond me.
Just to name a few.
Nesta’s story was falsely advertised as a healing journey when really what we kept getting was a character that kept getting exploited over and over. The character trait that set her aside and made her so beloved to us fans was handled awfully and perhaps readers that don’t understand Nesta will never understand.
And I’m tagging every anti tag so if you come across this and feel offended then maybe you should learn to filter
