#Cassian needs and emotions always being catered to is so childish

[reblogandlikes]

Never understood how the IC was additionally mad at Nesta "whoring" herself and using sex as a coping mechanism as a bad thing yet say nothing when she's pursued and does the very same thing with Cassian despite her emotional state being exactly the same in both settings.

They already forcefully stopped her movements. Stopped her drinking. And fuck, even stopped her damn sugar intake. Why not go a step further and stop her sexual endeavours too, seeming everything she does is so destructive and uncontrollable?

Wait, what? It's fine if the person she fucks is a male that has no respect for her boundaries, they approve of and also cares for HIS feelings more because of some stupid mating bond, yet they never push Elain to explore hers because they don't give af about Lucien? Of course, right. How silly of me to think the force proximity trope in this sense was anything but predatory behaviour on someone forced into a world she wanted no part in and gain further trauma from. Made worse when by the end of the book, Nesta still feels unworthy of love, but figured complying to the IC was a better option than the alternative - made into an actual enemy they'd feel justified in opposing because she's such a "danger".
