it’s so interesting to me how everyone wants to dictate how nesta should heal. just because feyre was able to heal with the inner circle does not mean the same would’ve worked on nesta. a lot of nesta’s trauma stems from her upbringing and further worsened by the war.
nesta has suffered from having her autonomy stripped over and over again. gwyn and emerie essentially mirror that same struggle. that friendship was pivotal to her arc regardless of how upset it made you that it took page time off of the ic.
at the end of the day nesta will always be thrown under the bus for the sake of other characters because she’s not pleasant and agreeable, because the way she copes with her trauma isn’t pretty. because she wasn’t nice when she was hurting.
there was no way in hell that nesta would have healed with the inner circle because they are a constant reminder of the loss of her humanity and of her involvement in the war.
The way feysand have to deal with her as if she’s an immature child and let her have her little tantrums only for her to come back later with her head bowed to him when she remembers that she does in fact answer to them
@wickdfaerie
okay? and mating bonds are also a rare thing but everybody and their momma has one… it’s blatantly obvious that this sudden concern for inconsistencies in sjm books is only brought up to drag nesta/valkyries and we’re not buying what you’re selling
even when it was just her and cassian, every time she saw him she saw the events with hybern. she needed that intervention regardless of how poorly it was handled. nesta distancing herself from the inner circle as much as possible was necessary.
just say you wanted nesta to beg and grovel. you wanted her character to essentially be rebranded. you wanted nesta to stop being nesta and that was just not going to happen and sjm said that from the very beginning.
still cant believe the blood rite was described as this nearly impossible challenge that even the most powerful high lord and the strongest illyrians struggled to pass but three girls won it after training for like 4 months with the power of friendship
these authors r on CRACK
they weren’t equally as underdeveloped cmon now! nesta had way more page time and involvement because her book was clearly coming up first. it’s okay to just accept that instead of all this weird nesta erasure. it’s getting very strange.
“with the power of friendship” it’s almost as if that was the whole point 😭 the won the same way the bat boys did by sticking together instead of focusing solely on their own survival
her family and that baby were also in danger when no one decided to tell feyre about the dangers of her own pregnancy not too long ago ❤️ nesta can be a little reckless as a treat i think
like we care about those garbage dumps 😭? putting her family and her newborn nephew in danger just to save a bunch of randoms yall are impressed by anything.
and you see i think pointing out what nesta did was dangerous is justified but acting like a wild animal with no class or decorum whatsoever is just pathetic… this “leadership”
nesta called rhys an asshole, played on cassians insecurities, threatened feyre, slutshamed mor, and hurt elains feelings azriel does not like that girl as much as y’all think he does lol
nesta fans are they only ones who think she’s this highly important character who everyone depends on like what are you reading? WHO depends on nesta?😭 when has she ever got shit done by herself?
