#pro IC

[batboys-cumdumpster]

If you're a Nesta stan and you don't see how Nesta was slowly killing herself by going out and drinking until she was black out and sleeping with strangers as self harm and only see her behavior as some sort of cool party girl move that didn't need to be addressed in the 'extreme' way of taking her away from all that then sorry, you're not a Nesta stan and you don't actually relate to her trauma and trauma response. You're delusional.

Nesta was depressed and wanted to die. She hated the world and herself, that's why she was acting the way she was. Her family and friends, who for some reason still love her, had to step in and do something before she literally died. If it wasn't for them stepping in and taking her away from the source of her self harm, she would have died.

And people wanna sit by and demonize Feysand and IC for doing that for her. Fucking insane. Nesta was getting worse by the day, not better. She only started to get better when her self harm tools were taken away.

Elain's visions being essential to the success of the NC and their allies to stay ahead of their enemies.

Elain working with Rhys to keep strong mental shields up so people can't use her visions against them.

Feyre Cursebreaker being adored by the IC is my favourite thing to read.

They all love her so much and she deserves every bit of it.

[careblairxoxo]

The fact that certain Nesta stans hate the person Feyre has become in ACOSF and say “I miss ACOTAR Feyre” or “ACOTAR Feyre would hate herself now” do u not realise how embarrassing u look …. Y do u only love broken women who haven’t actually experienced any type of love? And you’re right Feyre wouldn’t recognise herself from Acotar to ACOSF because now she actually has a REAL LOVING family something she never had before that.

You need to take a step back and wonder y u only gravitate to girls who hate themselves and who don’t think they deserve love, because at the end of the day Nesta and Feyre both got that in the end but YOU (certain Nesta stans who hate the IC and everything about acotar bar Nesta) need to see that only loving the broken person and denying her “redemption” just shows that you can’t come to terms with yourself, that you deserve love.

And I’m sorry.

Hi , who do you think made the killing blow to Hybern , I personally believe it was Elain as he was actively dying but Nesta just finished his life faster

Hello lovely anon!

I'm going to be completely honest, I don't really love the issue of crediting one sister over the other when it comes to the king's death. This may disappoint some of you, but I believe it was both sisters who killed the king together. And I think each of their roles in the moment were important and intentional.

For Nesta's part, this helped propel forward the rumors of her being a witch, or people fearing her "death promise" when she points a witchy lil fingie at them. This was all quite foundational to Nesta's experience in her book. She held the kings severed head in her hand. She moved into her book being feared, being called a witch, so on and so forth. This made sense for where she was headed.

For Elain's part, we have MAJORLY foreshadowed what she is able to do and what is coming for her. Elain Archeron pinpointed the exact location of the King of Hybern, wielded Truth-Teller, and travelled through the shadows across an entire battlefield to sneak up on the King by stepping out of the dark and stabbing him in the neck.

So for me- does it really matter? I don't think so. I think it was an amazing moment between both sisters that was well foreshadowed and thematically important to both of them, the two sisters captured by the king and turned. They were connected together to this moment through the text before and after:

Nesta is offered the killing blow, and her eyes immediately go searching for Elain. As if she believes the kill is as much Elain's as it is hers. Then Elain is credited for the killing blow, her eyes wander off into the trees, and she thinks of Nesta:

So Elain also sees the kill as Nesta's just as much as it is hers. I just do not see this as a vs. between the sisters. I never have and I never will. This was their moment, and I cannot think of a single function to trying to prove one of them killed the king "more" than the other.

Would the king have died just from the neck wound? Probably. Was it permanent and satisfying to remove his head? Definitely. Do Nesta and Elain think of each other and not themselves when discussing the killing blow? Yes. Why is that not infinitely more beautiful and powerful than pitting them against each other for credit?

Elain shadow-walker, neck stabber, Truth-Teller activator, sneak attack Archeron.

Nesta lady death, head severer, witch, finger pointing death promise Archeron.

It was an amazing moment for both of them, the two who suffered the most direct trauma under the kings hand. It was always going to be them.

One thing I will address is the ridiculous notion that Azriel does not give Elain credit for killing the king. I don't even know where to start with how silly that is.

Azriel tenses at Bryce asking personal questions about how he and Nesta know each other. It does not take a genius to realize he makes a conscious decision to keep Elain private.

Azriel looks down to his blade, the blade he pressed into Elain's hand, the blade that Elain used to travel through his shadows and ram through the kings neck, then he does not say "Nesta killed the King of Hybern herself." He says, "Nesta beheaded the King of Hybern herself."

If you genuinely did not catch all of the context clues about Azriel thinking of Elain in that bonus chapter, but not trusting Bryce and being afraid to speak her name to this stranger from another world and put her at risk, there is genuinely nothing else to say. We don't have to change anyone's minds. There is no changing the mind of someone that willfully ignoring Elain and her context and projecting onto Azriel to claim he doesn't care about her when the truth is it is exceedingly obvious Azriel continued to think about Elain during that BC.

Yes- the Glass Coffin BC. AKA the Sleeping Beauty BC.

Is it annoying that Elain doesn't get more credit? Totally. But I don't think 1V1 against Nesta solves that. The only thing that will solve it is people realizing how amazing Elain is in her book, and all the cool little details that were set up during her role in the death of the king.

Thinking about how Mor’s power is truth and yet she isn’t truthful with herself. About how if she looked in the Ouroboros, she would not be able to handle what she saw. People say in 500 years she should’ve found the nerve to reject Azriel, to come out, but I see 500 years as a time for her fear to calcify, to harden, to become a full delusion that controls her every move, even if consciously she’s confident. She grew up in a world where her worth was completely equivalent to her appeal to men. Does she regret taking that appeal away? How does she live with herself, knowing that most of Prythian, if they knew the truth, would believe she had nothing to give them, and nothing therefore to live for? Does she know the truth? Does she hate herself so much that she can’t believe a single thing she thinks? 500 years, trapped in herself, trapped in her own intuition, in doubts that her power was even real. You’d think Azriel, with his spymaster sources, would know she didn’t like him, and yet he continued to chase after her. You’d think Rhysand, with his intuition and Daemati powers, would know she liked females, and yet he made no move to - to imply that he’d protect her, should she come out. No substantial move. It would always be lip-service. It would always be talk. Oh, we love Rita’s, we love everyone, blah-blah-blah. How could she believe that when so much of his own pride is predicated on his maleness? On how male mates interact with female mates? On how fertility and virility shape the very land on which they stand? She has been shown since the day she was born that what she is is inherently in opposition to what she was told. She has no truth.

Being on Pro and Anti acotar tumblr makes me feel so confused, I don't know what to have opinion on☹️😓

Everyone should kiss and shake hand, happy ending

The bat boys and their bedroom habits (kinda NSFW)

—————————-

I was reading part of acosf again and there was this smut scene where Cassian goes like “do you want to suck me again” I love him but he’s such a fuckboy…(endearingly)

So here’s how *I* personally view the bat boys and their bedroom habits.

Rhys: makes sure both parties are having a good time, and that those orgasms are mutual.

Cassian: lowkey prioritizes his own pleasure, but will still deliver orgasms.

Azriel: probably prioritizes his partner’s pleasure over his. He’s only having a good time if his partner is.

[batboys-cumdumpster]

Tamlin stans romanticizing him and thinking he’s so great when literally everyone at the HL meeting wanted to throw him out for his verbal abuse and mockery of Feyre and sided with Rhysand who was still seen as the bad guy is so funny

Tamlin isn’t deep. You’re being a pick me bc you think you can change him or think that he’d be nice to YOU instead of how he abused Feyre.

Your problematic fave wouldn’t ever choose you and you would never be what changes them in any world they’d actually exist.

Hating the main characters of a story and loving the abusive side characters with no real redeeming qualities doesn’t make you special, it makes you cringe.

Tell me you didn't understand Acotar without actually telling me.

"Feyre and the IC have zero character growth"

[thecatsaesthetics]

I know some of you don’t know how to actually read because people read this paragraph and started making claims that Velaris “has slums”

[high-queen-feyre]

Hear me out, if you are spent so much time hating on a fictional character that you're calling real people names... Maybe find more productive ways to spend time than going down your favorite character's anti tag and shitting on people

[frostwing213]

You know what? I loved Nesta, and I liked the inner circle!

Nesta's gotta be my favorite charcter, and I ship her with Cassian!

I like Feyre, I like Rhys, I like the inner circle, I love the valkiries! I hate Tamlin.

I can like all those charcters and still love Nesta!

I liked her book! And I kinda agree with the inner circle. She was destroying herself and while maybe it might not have been the perfect corse of action, they were trying to help, and it worked.

I enjoyied reading Nesta's jorney! She had to work with herself to heal and forgive herself. Cassian helped her the way he knew how.

When looking at these charteres, try to actually put yourself in their shoes, empathize with them. Yeah, they're fictional, but they're meant to act like real pepole. I scroll the tags assoisciated with ACOTAR and I find so much hate, ussaully just to defend a charter the poster likes. I mean, have your opinons, but you can love charteres without hating on others! Surpise surpise, the charters meant to modle actual people have flaws!

This all being said, I have a minor complaint about ACOSF. Nesta was super op and powerful and I LOVED that! I love powerful female charters! I was dissapointed when she had to give up her power to save Feyre (Which I'm glad she did, btw. And about the whole pregnacy debacle, I think Rhys should have told her, but i can also see his point of veiw. Nesta probobly shouldn't have snapped the way she did out of anger, but I'm glad she told her)
