I Said What I Said

I would like to say I’m an ACOTAR blog, but I’m really just a mess

I hope we see Nesta, Elain, and Feyre do some sisterly bonding and healing in the next books. They're all quite different from each other but their hobbies are perfect for them to share together:

Nesta gives them dance lessons! (They use the shiny magic iPod that Cassian got her for Solstice, and Feyre starts a huge leg warmers trend in Velaris)

Elain shares her favourite recipes with them! (It's mostly Elain explaining a new technique she discovered while Feyre and Nesta monch all the batches to "taste test")

Feyre teaches them how to paint! (It's a handy way to get Nyx's nursery decorated too! They'll make a huge mess and have Rhys clean up)

I know I’m super corny but what is tumblr if not a corny safe space?

Elain doesn’t have big breasts in canon. Nesta said so in ACOSF..

They only LOOK small in Azriel's big hands 😌

Normally I like to tell people to grown a spine and get off anon, but I think this one should stay private. Absolutely embarrassing 🤣 like what compelled them to point this out

Elain isn’t loyal? She wore an iron wedding ring for months because she was still in love with her fiancé, a man who wants her dead. Feyre came home as a High Fae, and Elain, who was engaged to that fae-hunter and terrified of fae, welcomed her inside and was happy to see her, when the safer, easier thing would be to turn her away at the door and avoid Feyre’s faerie mess altogether. She cared for her disabled father for years as his only compassionate companion even though he essentially ruined her and her sisters’ lives with his carelessness and poor judgment many times over. Nesta herself lashed out and put distance between them, and for months Elain was the only person in the Night Court to try reaching out to her with kindness after the war.

You can’t blame her for learning from so much rejection, fear, and hurt and taking a step back to finally protect herself when her sister, in the midst of an intense destructive spiral, moves out, explicitly says to leave her alone multiple times, and pointedly ignores her in the street.

And Nesta is extremely mentally ill. She even says herself she didn’t believe she deserved kindness or goodness or love. Of course her brain is going to perceive that new distance from Elain as an inevitable betrayal, a swapping of loyalties to the “safe” sister, and a loss of a lifetime of love and sisterhood between Nesta and Elain, rather than the defense mechanism and acquiescence to Nesta’s own repeated demands for space that it is. Of course Nesta, whose own defense mechanism is lashing out and insults, is going to cast Elain as a wretch and a dog to protect herself from the pain of “losing” Elain’s loyalty.

But family isn’t about who is more loyal to who at any given moment, and it is healthy and okay to distance yourself from family members who repeatedly reject your company and requests space from you, no matter how close you once were, even if they are also hurting. It doesn’t mean you’re choosing or loving your other family members—who may also need and welcome your help with their own issues—over them.

Fandoms are wild. I'll be peacefully enjoying those little romance books about faeries with big cocks then someone will post a whole ass 30k word essay about how the monarchy in faerieland is problematic
