AU where Nesta does stay with Cassian and ends up pregnant but then she finds out she's having a girl and she realizes there's no way she could do to her daughter what was done to her. She won't become her mother. And it's the moment she decides to leave the NC and Cassian behind.

Alternatively, AU where Nyx is born female instead of male and that snaps a whole lot of things into perspective for Feyre.

Idk, I just feel like for a series meant to be centered around women and women's empowerment, it's moreso centered around men and I don't like that.

I commissioned an OC who's appearance I base 98% of on Nesta, and look how gorgeous it came out!

Full credit to @hanibuns on bluesky, their sketch comms are always open and they have general comms open right now I believe!

so y'all think it would get through anyone's heads if we started calling it what it is: a suicide pact

Interesting to me y'all draw Rhysand's mother as this older motherly figure even though she was canonically a teenager when she married the former high lord and birthed Rhysand and was forced into the role of Lady of the Night. Like she's literally the age where she could be the fae version of his older sister.

Which her son then emulates in his own life by marrying a barely what, 20yo Feyre and doing the exact same to her.

Why am I getting anti Nesta stuff on my feed!!! Free me from this hell I am the exact opposite target of this

[starrbirrd]

me @ my mutuals

[starrbirrd]

Nesta core

[starrbirrd]

As a society I think we moved on from the fact that it was canon for a hot minute Rhysand killed a bunch of children before it got retconned into some other rando

[starrbirrd]

no actually I don't want a book where two men have a blood duel over who gets the rights to a woman

[starrbirrd]

I still can't get over the fact that every single one of her "found family" was willing to not say a damn thing to Feyre about the fact that the pregnancy was going to kill her.

Not her mate, who swore he'd always give her a choice and never lie to her again.

Not Cassian or Azriel who told her they'd step in personally if Rhysand ever became like Tamlin.

Not Morrigan, who suffered at the hands of men that also thought they owned her body and her womb.

Not even the healer told Feyre about HER OWN BODY.

And the fact that there's people who defend this make me sick. In recent times where we are absolutely on the cusp of losing our bodily autonomy again, where abortion rights have been overturned, where women have already died because of this, not a single one of you should defend that.

The people Feyre chose over her own family were going to let her die and that's straight up a horror story.

why did he have to lick her tears away. literally wtf compelled him to do that

[starrbirrd]

Could y'all imagine if SJM had leaned a bit more into the horrific part of the Cauldron and made Elain and Nesta feel as if they were in there for an extremely long period of time as opposed to just a few minutes. Neither of them deserve to suffer more BUT I think it would've been a nice intro to the darker side of magic she kept hinting at and might have helped people understand just how violating the process was.

I need more stories and fanfiction where the MC is an adult. Really don't like the way we've shifted to every single MC has to be barely 19 years old paired with these men who are at least twenty years older than them. Why did we go backwards.

[starrbirrd]

I'm getting mad about it all over again, if a man threatened my sister, much less threatened to kill her, I would crash out. Stand up Feyre, ACOTAR Feyre would not have tolerated this.

[starrbirrd]

if I see your blog and I see boop im hitting it

[starrbirrd]

and what if I said all three archerons are girl kissers what then

[starrbirrd]

Something about most art of Nesta being sexualized makes me so very sad for her. She's reduced to a sex object by a lot of fans and her own mate. Yeah you can be sexy and empowering at the same time but there's just this undercurrent that feels very much like she was hated when she was modest and private but now that she's a sexy hellcat she's badass. Nesta deserved to be courted properly with gifts and books and flowers and chocolates.
