Me? Sad? Yes.

why? do you ask? oh, no reason I just remembered Acowar chapter 74 still exists and still hurts the same every time I read it.

"I have no regrets in my life, but this. That we did not have time. That I did not have time with you Nesta. I will find you again in the next world- The next life. And we will have that time. I promise."

And Nesta protecting him with her body, refusing to move because he can’t and ready to die with him.

I AM SCREAMING, UGLY CRYING, THROWING UP😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

I will not suffer alone you are all coming with me

"Well, SJM wrote Elriel initially to show how flat and boring their romance would be!!"

Um.

Y'all realize she could've just... not done it at all, right?

It's not like Moriel, where she introduced their potential romance at the same time she introduced the very characters of Azriel & Mor themselves.

If she fleshed out a Moriel relationship to show how they wouldn't have worked out - okay - that would've made sense.

There is literally NO reason to have a background Elriel relationship if they weren't going to be endgame.

Genuinely just put yourself into SJM (or any writers shoes). You have a main couple you are focusing on for 3 books, and then ~maybe~, best case scenario, you have a spin-off or two.

Are you seriously, seriously wasting precious page real estate writing about a couple in the background who isn't even next in line- a couple who wasn't even planned to get together for real on the page, only to show "they will never work" and break them up in a bonus chapter of a book about a DIFFERENT couple?

Be serious. SJM barely does any planning as it is - she has admitted this herself. Y'all are seriously thinking she spent all this time painstakingly placing Elriel moments throughout the past 3 books - all in an elaborate ploy to break them up in a bonus chapter in Nessian's book? What would be the reason?? Typically if there's a couple an author wants to write but they don't work on the page - it won't make it into the published final book?? (Ie Nesta and Lucien smh)

Be so fucking fr rn 🤨

Im a little over 600 pages into a court of silver flames. Here are my thoughts:

Nesta my sweet baby you’ve come so far

Nesta and Amren need to apologize and forgive each other because they were one of my favorite friendships

Nessian❤️

Okay are they mates or..? Because Lanthys said the thing about the “based on scents alone” and I’m basically positive they’re mates like how could they not be

All the signs are there that they are mates, maybe they just haven’t recognized it yet?

The Valkyries are the loml fr

I love Gwyn, I desperately want to hear her sing

I need to see more of Emerie

I cant wait to see these three fight together

Who cuts the ribbon first???

I miss Feyre’s pov, I wanna see her and Rhys develop as parents from her pov

I need more of Mor, her presence calms me

I want to watch Nesta dance, I know it must be a magical show to watch

I’m excited to finish acosf but also not at all because HOW LONG MUST I WAIT FOR ACOTAR #5?????

I’m hoping to finish soon, but I’m so nervous because SJM’s books always go buck wild in the last 100 pages:,)

@moondrawss you do her best📖✨

Who are your top 5 SJM

-Females

-Males

-Ships

-Friendships

-Crackships

-Side Characters

Hii, ok let's see..

Females: Elain (obviously), Vassa (what does lulu and jurian have that I wouldn't give her...), Feyre, Nesta and Elide

Males: Azriel (my son), Cassian, Helion, Tarquin (I miss him tbh) and Rhysand (is a love/hate relationship tho), honorary mention of Lorcan the first sjm man I liked

Ships: Elriel (4lifers), Feysand, Emorie, Nessian (esp before acosf...we could had it all) and I barely remember anything from TOG but, elorcan (my parents fr)

Friendships: feyre/mor/amren (esp before acosf bc...you know), elain/nuala/cerridwen (can't wait to get more of my women), manon/elide, feyre/cassian and elain/azriel (friends to lovers my beloved)

Crackships: vassa/elain, manon/elide (bi manon is canon idc), mor/nesta (thanks user rosehalls), rhysand/helion (I refuse to believe they haven't fucked atleast once) and azriel/varian (don't ask why is a long story). Honorable mention to cass/elain, if azriel and nesta wheren't in the picture I feel they would be great and could made sense

Side characters: vassa (my #1 my best friend), emerie (this fandom would pay for the crimes against you babygirl), the twins, helion ( father of millions) and tarquin (come home king)

Cassian was sizing up Nesta, a gleam in his eyes that I could only interpret as a warrior finding himself faced with a new, interesting opponent.

….

Then, Mother above, Nesta shifted her attention to Cassian, noticing that gleam—what it meant. She snarled softly, “What are you looking at?”

….

[unhealthyfanobsession]

hellllooooo!!! okay i would actually like to have a discussion about this. by no means is this any hate towards you or me trying to start an argument. just a civil disagreement re: your anti-neris/eris ask!!!

1. agree entirely with this point omggg nesta is literally an eris/rhys in female form without the added ambition, war crimes, and misogyny under her belt fr fr

2. OKAY LOVED BEST LAID PLANS QUEEN YOUR TALENT>>>> sorry love to see white men lose. here’s where i disagree tho. you say that eris saw nesta in a way that cassian didn’t/doesn’t. but i would argue that he does! eris clearly sees nesta as a prize worth having and a huge political advantage (which, duuuhh) but i would say cassian does too. in fact, i would go so far as to say cassian sees so much more than eris. he sees the power she holds in her humanity, in her trauma, and in everything she is beyond that. i think cassian does not let that be the only thing that defines her. that’s she’s a great weapon but that’s only one facet to who she is as a person. i think also saying that cassian didn’t want her as unapologetically or unashamedly as eris did is a little unfair to cassian and nessian’s story over all. their relationship dynamic’s exterior is more of a push/pull sort while their interior leaves a lot of things left unsaid. they’ve never had the clean slate of “seducing him with a dance” that eris had. and i 100% am with you, cassian did do some majorly questionable things (a discussion for another time, maybe. this one is already dragging its ass lmaoo) and i’m not excusing what he’s done but i think nitpicking a few wrongs out of the many and multiple good things cassian not only did for her but *with* her kind of cheapens nesta’s love for him a little bit but that’s maybe just more my opinion than anything else. ALTHOUGH I WILL SAY i’m kinda offended w this klaroline comparison queen. i get neris is fantasy and fun and whatever you wanna make it but c’monnnn klaroline king and queen of the screen UNTOUCHABLE UNREACHABLE PERFECTION…just can’t compare. also eris will never be babyklaus i’m sorry i’ll see myself out now pls don’t hate me.

3. YES! YES I AGREE. I AGREE NESTA OVER HUMANITY IM SO SERIOUS RN!!!! nesta archeron the woman that u are…

4. ooooh yep u got me there queen. may i offer, also: azriel. mysterious morally grey pretty bois will always trump whitehets for me ngl. THE ENEMIES TO LOVERS POTENTIAL!!!!

all in all, queen i truly truly deeply do not mean to offend you at all i just wanted to offer some food for thought and another perspective for the discussion!!! i love everything you write you’re literally the best nessian author fr you feed me all the time i have NOTHING BUT RESPECT FOR U!!!! love u love u love u

Hello hello - first of all when I said I was getting hate i 100% NEVER mean things like this. Respectful disagreement is important and fun. I’m literally a lawyer I promise to never be offended by stuff like this lol. I just kinda dipped out of my own messages for a while because I was over it.

Overall, I think the crux of everything I say with Neris is just the ✨fantasy✨ we don’t know what Eris would be like or how he would behave and we are annoyed with Cassian. The MAJOR issue I would say is that pretty much all of the good things Cassian did or affection he showed was before ACOSF and then he spent like half of THEIR BOOK being, if I may say so, a little bitch. He just never defended her until she started doing what he wanted essentially. I don’t think Cassian didn’t care. I think it’s clear he always cared and always wanted Nesta - but it’s the fact that this book was SO anticipated and we were waiting for a healing journey but it ended up being a drill sergeant. Annoyance with Cassian is kind of caked into annoyance with all of ACOSF, in my opinion. I’m not necessarily defending Eris and I don’t actually canon ship this couple, I’m more just explaining where the Neris shipping comes from in my opinion. Cassian was a total simp pre-ACOSF and we fell in love with that. There was the original tension of “calling her out” (eyeroll) but then his whole story was basically longing for and being the only one who understood Nesta. So the combo of the Cassian who actually understood Nesta being nowhere in site and this powerful sexy man being into Nesta and no questions asked wanting her … which was basically EXACTLY what we were all expecting from Cassian just amped everything up to a thousand. We were expecting pained sad boi longing as they healed together and instead we got forced into a house and “everyone hates you” and I think the collective attitude was well if she’s going to not have that epic love story then at least get her away from the IC and make her in charge of a Court thx. That was my mindset anyway. Again, I don’t think it’s actually where anyone felt the narrative going and it’s an over simplification but it was born from a lot of anger over a lot of different issues and character hypocrisies.

Also, to be clear, the Klaroline comparison was genre based only. Just the idea that an enemy becoming obsessed with one of the “good guys” and putting her first while her “boyfriend” is putting others before her is a very sexy vibe that we are all susceptible to. I do hate comparing Cassian to Tyler even a tiny bit … but yknow what if the growling and alpha male complex fit …

[ncssian]

you’re right about adapting, by the way. SJM is not a fantasy writer, she’s full on new adult romance writer here. at this point, we should know what to expect fr her. did i have fun with acosf? hell yeah! did i have to adjust my expectations? yep. would i change some stud? sure. but i enjoyed it at lot when i stopped wanting things SJM would never give me and realizes that i was also someone who never really knew Nesta (bc we too only had Feyre’s pov and whatever headcanon we came up with over the last 3 years)

yeah i had to change a LOT of how i thought and felt in order to enjoy this book, but even then there was a lot of ic related stuff that made me 🤢🤢🤢

so in conclusion: strong mixed feelings but nessian still reigns as best acotar characters, which im glad for at the very least
