#STARBORN

[silverflameataraxia]

As much as I don't trust SJM, I highly doubt she would make Nesta the hero of Crescent City only to make her a villain of ACOTAR.

At some point the IC has to come to the realization that Nesta helped to defeat the Asteri. They will never be a threat to Prythian ever again.

And not only that, but you would think the IC would have been sympathetic toward Bryce and Midgard, considering they were enslaved for fifty years, and it's still something that eats at them. But they couldn't care less about Bryce's world not knowing anything but enslavement for 15,000 years. The IC would rather kill Bryce and let the Asteri enslave Midgard if it means that Prythian is free. But yet Nesta, this female who has never known enslavement and who is treated like she's this selfish monster, cared enough about a whole other world to help them.

Personally, I think SJM is going to use the IC's treatment of Nesta to fuel character development and Nesta's Starborn journey. I do think Nesta will find out she's Starborn, come into even more power, and revive and ultimately rule the Dusk Court. Cassian is going to have to come to terms with his confliction and why he never sides with Nesta when it comes to Rhysand. Why he doesn't defend her or protect her when Rhysand is involved. I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that Rhysand's mother gave Cassian his first home, his first bed, his first present. I think it has a lot to do with Cassian feeling like he failed Rhysand during those fifty years under Amarantha's reign, and him trying to make up for it for the rest of his life. But, ultimately, Cassian's going to need to realize that his brother is a complete and total bully to Nesta, and that for her well-being, he needs to go with her...away from Rhysand.

Friendly reminder:

Hunt looked a nurse dead in the eyes, with his back bleeding and a painful cringe on his face and said ‘I can still fuck though, right?’

And the nurse had to keep a straight face.

Why were they left behind? I want to protect them...

Nesta being so comfortable with her powers and being the badass Valkyrie she deserves to be makes my heart so full 😭😭🥰

Also, Azriel and Nesta being friends and him not being afraid of her one bit... Az bringing her back when she is wearing the Mask *chef's kiss* I love it so much 😍😭😍

Bryce's description of the two bring me so much joy 🥰

In Their Starborn Era

(HOFAS spoilers below)

The starborn age has ended on Midgard…

…and the Archeron Starborn Era is about to begin on Prythian. LFG!!!!

The Archeron Sisters are Starborn

As @offtorivendell has theorized here, @wingedblooms has theorized here, I have theorized here and here, we think each of the Archeron sisters is starborn and has part of Theia’s (or her children’s) light.

Elain has Helena’s.

Nesta has Silene’s.

Feyre has Theia’s (or maybe her son’s if that crack theory is right lol).

Though I wonder about Nesta’s Starborn power, and if she gave some of it back to the Cauldron at the end of ACOSF…and what that might mean for her ability to use Gwydion or TT at all on her own, like Bryce can. So what does that mean?

We get hints that Elain has strong starborn power:

So will Elain at first be the one to wield Gwydion and TT as she (and Az) go on their quests? Potentially to revive Dusk, or other parts of Prythian, as @offtorivendell and @wingedblooms have theorized?

And might she in part use them to help herself? To unMake her bond with Lucien using TT to free them both of it, and to potentially Make a new bond with Az (if a bond doesn’t already exist), either using her powers, or using Gwydion?

Together They Can Activate TT and Gwydion

Only united can Theia’s starborn power activate Gwydion and TT and be used to kill the unkillable. The Asteri in Midgard. Koschei in ACOTAR?

The Sisters’ Bonds

Right now, the bonds between the sisters are somewhat fractured, particularly still between Nesta and Elain.

Those bonds will need to finally heal so that they can come together to use Gwydion and TT to save Prythian.

Gwyn is an Starborn. Don't ask me how or why, I have no answer for that, I just know. AND she will wield Starsowrd/Gwydion...

Thanks for coming to my rambling.

MOR IS STARBORN

It hasn't been officially confirmed that she is but in acomaf we learned that Mor's family once ruled the land where the prison is and in Hofas we learned that the prison was the Dusk Court and that's where the Starborn lived
