Only Nesta would be willing to sacrifice her life to save Cassian from Lanthys...only to then be willing to sacrifice her life to save Gwyn and Emerie during the Blood Rite...only to then be willing to sacrifice her life to keep Briallyn from getting her hands on the Dread Trove...only to then sacrifice her power to save Feysand's lives...only to end her book saying that she doesn't deserve love and will work to further "earn" it every day.

And these are just her sacrifices in ACOSF. I didn't include all the sacrifices she's made throughout this entire series.

The only character who self-sacrifices as much as Nesta is Rhysand, but when he does it, it's too much, and he deserves a lifetime of love and happiness. But when Nesta self-sacrifices, it's never enough, and she doesn't deserve love and happiness, and she needs to continue sacrificing in an effort to "earn" it.

Tell me why would Nesta ever give Gwydion to somebody else. That sword was GIFTED to her by a now friend.

She received this sword because of the ✴️ that was tattooed on her back. A symbol that obviously is connected to both Bryce AND Nesta.

She also received this sword because she made the choice to give HER OWN WEAPON in order to let Bryce save her own world. Had it not been for Nesta, the Asteri would have conquered both worlds.

Nesta is connected to the ✴️ not her sisters not her mate not her friends but NESTA.

Emerie truly is truly the Acotar character I’m am most interested to keep reading about. I want to see her as life as the first Illyrian woman to become Carynthian. I want to see her as a leader to the Valkyries. I want to see her become the Illyrian warrior with the most siphons. I want to see her fly on her Pegasus. I want to see her find the love she reads about in her Sellyn Drake novels. I want to see her at sleepovers having fun with her best friends. I want to see how she inspires the women and young girls of Illyria.

Emerie is such an important character. Im begging that she gets the storyline she deserves. and she deserves the absolute best.

Day 1 Entrepreneur.

Emerie is so much more than a warrior, she is a survivor, she is an entrepreneur. The first Illyrian female to own a shop and run it in a successful way. It is important to celebrate Emerie for the boundaries she pushes and the stereotypes she ends .

A very happy birthday to our Taurus queen, Nesta Archeron! 👑 I'm sure she'd spend it with her besties and chosen sisters, Emerie and Gwyn! And I just know that the House would give them all the smuttiest books to read and all the chocolate cake to eat.

A very big thank you to @/michi.illustrations for working with me on this gorgeous commission to celebrate! Do not repost without credit and do not feed into AI programs.

@freyjas-musings and I are SO EXCITED that we were able to commission this beautiful artwork!

Our headcanon is that Bryce drops by to leave a fully charged phone for Nesta; and Nesta puts it to good use by taking selfies of her and her chosen sisters…it’s their favorite hobby….posing and taking pics ❤️

Papa Archeron receives a lot of hate, and rightly so, for letting Feyre hunt, but he needs to receive far more hate then he does for turning a blind eye to Nesta's abuse for years. He either didn't notice or didn't care to notice his young daughter coming home with bruises. As someone who's been abused while a parent looked the other direction, I totally understand Nesta's hatred of the man and it's 100% justifiable. SJM twisting the narrative to make it seem like Papa Archeron - this man who did nothing to protect Nesta from abuse, who was willing to let his daughters starve to death, who let Feyre hunt - is a heroic and loving father, while making Nesta - the daughter who was abused for years - into the wicked, hateful daughter who doesn't deserve his love is just despicable. Every child deserves a better father than Papa Archeron.

What would have made more sense is if Feyre and Nesta had to come to terms with the fact that their father did nothing to protect them their entire lives, but yet somehow did love them...at least enough to help them in the war.

At least Feyre, despite all she's been through, knows she's worthy of love and knows what kind of love she deserves. Nesta still thinks she doesn't deserve her useless father's crappy version of "love" and that she needs to endeavor to be worthy of it, which shows me that she's barely begun the healing process. Only someone who's been abused can think so lowly of themselves. Hopefully with Nesta meeting and bonding with Ember, she'll come to the realization that she is worthy of love, that she is worthy of someone standing up for her, defending her, and protecting her.

No way people are upset over how Nesta treated her father.

That man watched Nesta be beaten and abused by his wife and mother in law for years and did nothing. You will never make me feel bad for that man.

[oristianvalkyrie]

If you want to equate the house of wind to rehab then you have to recognize the fact that Cassian was taking advantage of Nesta.

If the house of wind is rehab then Cassian is a rehabilitation counselor who had sex with a patient.

A rehabilitation counselor being intimate with a patient is sexual misconduct.

So no..saying that the house of wind was rehab does not justify what they did to Nesta

[oristianvalkyrie]

Right?! In the scene right after this one it’s Nesta who gets the blame for not wanting to train with Cassian. Nesta’s bruises hadn’t even healed yet, Cassian was mocking her for her fall and she was being watched by a group of men. Yet it’s still Nesta you gets the blame. She is given the silent treatment by Cassian for the rest of the day and believes she deserves his disgust. It’s like this book shows me one thing then tells me to believe the something completely different!

Do y’all actually realize had badly Nesta hurt herself on the stairs.

“And in the quiet, pain set in. Barking, bleating pain across every part of her body. The coppery tang of blood filled her mouth. Something wet and warm slid down her neck. A sniff told her it was blood, too.” - Acosf page 120

And this was Cassian’s response to not helping her after hearing the whole thing.

“You stopped falling . If you'd kept at it , someone would have eventually come to catch you before you hit the bottom .”-Acosf page 121

you guys ever think about how cassian’s insecurities were completely made up by the voices in his head while nesta’s insecurities are affirmed by cassian at every presenting opportunity

[oristianvalkyrie]

reread the solstice scene from acofas and was surprised at how pleasant nesta was the entire time. from the way people talk about it, and from Cassian's reaction after she leaves, you'd think she was hissing and insulting everyone in the room. but no.

nesta wishes feyre happy birthday, she thanks elain for her gifts, and sits quietly, allowing them to continue with their presents. meanwhile mor gives cassian silk boxers that match the lingerie set he got her. nesta even kisses elain on the head before she leaves. she is 100% polite.

the next chapter is Cassian's pov and it starts with "he'd had enough. enough of the coldness, the sharpness. enough of the sword-straight spine and razor-sharp stare that had only honed itself these months"

BRO SHE WAS JUST SITTING THERE
