#HOFAS Spoilers

[cassianandfenrysaremyboyos]

Azriel running back to tell Rhys that Bryce stole Truth Teller

[gracieart]

“When we stop again… can you show me how that contraption works?” … “Trying to figure out what it does has been driving us all crazy.”

Genuinely cannot believe this was a canon scene. Had to go and draw this as soon as I read it.

[nocasdatsgay]

Have y’all notice that in canon, everyone who meets Nesta that isn’t tied to the IC likes her? Just me?

[ladydeatharcheron]

The fact that executing Nesta was even a debate in hofas…

Inner circle, they could never make me like you.

[azrielshands]

This is so funny and iconic of Bryce

[theprettylightsinger]

I'm reading HOFAS and do y'all see that dismissal? Do you see the way amren talk to Nesta? LIKE SHE'S SOME COMMAN FUCKING LACKEY TO BE SUMMONED AND DISMISSED AT WILL?!?? THE DISRESPECT!

And the you wonder why Nesta Stan want her out of this shthole and out of the company of these dictators.

SJM has done a good job and beat Nesta into the perfect submissive "mate" because the Nesta I knew would never take the disrespect.

[livinforthetea]

By giving Bryce the mask, Nesta has already proven that she would make a much better ruler than Rhysand ever could - and maybe this is WHAT MAKES RHYSAND AND CASSIAN SO MAD IN HOFAS. Nesta barely knows Bryce and she doesn’t know any of the millions of beings on Midgard but she believes in fighting to protect innocent people, Rhysand only believes in fighting to protect his family. If that in itself wasn’t a very problematic trait for a ruler to have, it’s even worse considering who exactly Rhysand family is. 

Looking back at what happened when Amarantha trapped everyone UTM, Rhysand uses his powers to shield Velaris, and only Velaris, and let’s be real here, he does it because he really just wants to make sure to protect 4 people. The thing is though, these 4 people are actually supposed to be 4 of the most dangerous (according to what the other courts believe) and strongest people in Prythian. Rhysand would rather lets millions die than risk his all powerful mate, who has the power of all of the High Lords from having to lift a finger, he would be fine with families being wiped out so that the strongest Illyrian in the history of Prythian, since Enalius, who is a general and leads armies, trained to fight wars, doesn’t have to fight. He would be fine with children being slaughtered by the Asteri in another world so that his cousin, who is supposed to have the power of truth and who he would send into a battle once everyone else has fallen which implies she has some kind of ultimate power, doesn’t have to do anything. 

He, himself, is supposed to be the strongest High Lord in the history of their world, he can infiltrate minds, mist people at will, turn into a great beast and shred people apart and he would rather sit back and see an entire world destroyed than risk his family being in any danger. 

Imagine if you will that Tony Stark decided to let Thanos do his thing, as long as it kept the rest of the Avengers from suffering any damage. That is pretty much the way that Rhysand thinks. 

Meanwhile, Nesta, even as just a human woman was advocating, begging and demanding for the protection of the innocent humans below the wall. She was willing to give up the mask, knowing that yes she was putting her world at risk, but understanding that when risk came, they would do everything in their power to fight it and perhaps had faith in the people around hers power to do so. 

I don’t care how much you love Rhysand, or how much you hate Nesta…..but you have to have the rationality to understand this and realize that Rhysand is a bad ruler and whether Nesta wants to rule or not (and I firmly believe she DOES NOT), she’s already shown she would do a much better job than him. Maybe the Inner Circle actually knows this deep down and they are pissed that she is bringing it to light.

One last Nesta for @nestaarcheronweek

Ember Quinlan the MVP of standing up for Nesta. Take notes Cassian.

Rhysand in HOFAS

(Slight HOFAS spoilers; read at own risk)

Rhysand: I’m not just going to read Bryce’s mind without permission. That would be rude.

Amren:

Amren:

Amren: When did you find the time to take a fucking daemati ethics class without me noticing, Rhysand?

[cassianandfenrysaremyboyos]

Laughing at Az just more and more agressively clearing his throat as Nesta talks about (aka trolls) Rhys lmao

[gwyns]

nesta is the best aunt and spoils nyx rotten confirmed

[starrbirrd]

I refuse to read the new book but what I'm hearing is that it's okay when the IC want to impulsively steal from another court which results in a death sentence, it's okay when both Feyre and Rhysand want to impulsively form pacts with ancient death Gods without consulting one another and treat it as a weird flirty gift???, it's okay for Cassian to impulsively murder the entire village where his mother was or whatever that was about, it's okay for them to impulsively tear down an entire apartment building to teach a lesson, Feyre and Rhysand made a life/death pact without consulting anyone- AND SO MUCH MORE because the IC is literally all impulse and no self control, but they're livid and hateful towards Nesta because she "did something impulsively". Okay Janet.

[unhealthyfanobsession]

Ember telling Nesta that she will find her way just breaks my fucking heart because the first half of the book is all Nesta in her element, doing as she pleases with her bestie Azriel, still doing what’s in the best interest of her family and just truly being her absolute best self and then the SECOND she’s back in the IC dynamic Ember is just watching her get berated for making a decision that we all know Feyre would also make. Like clearly Nesta expressed to Ember her turmoil over all of this and it makes me want to hug her and also slap Cassian.

It’s so tragic to see the dichotomy in one book of Nesta at her absolute best killing a fucking Asteri and then she goes HOME and … that …

I just … I have to dream that there’s something else for Nesta. A real home. Real acceptance.

[theladyofbloodshed]

Nesta has cemented herself as one of the most powerful characters in all of sjm’s worlds (killed the most powerful bad guys, ability to create Made items, wield the trove) and THANK GOODNESS she doesn’t have the insufferable arrogance of sjm’s other characters. She’s just like yeah I want to go home and have dessert and read my book.
