Unpopular ACOTAR opinions? Alright. Nesta Archeron is the funniest character in this entire damn series and she never gets credit for that because she’s also hot and smart and powerful as hell.

It’s an affliction only suffered by bad bitches, and my heart goes out to her as someone who knows the feeling so well.

Across the entire series, there is a single reference to Nesta drinking on page. This is when Cassian forces a brandy into her hands after the Twin Raven attack and she downs it in one. Elain also presses a glass of wine into her hands on Solstice in ACOFAS, but there is no further mention to Nesta drinking it. Furthermore, there are many references to her past drinking in ACOSF, but at no point does she drink a single drop - nor does she express a desire to gamble, which is also how she ran up a debt, but was seemingly not an issue for the IC.

The Nesta Stans remain the great researchers of the fandom. I applaud you for you work 👏🏼

I hate how Cassian looks down on Nesta for reading smut after being turned High Fae. He's like, "Feyre, while you were off defeating our enemies, Nesta has been here reading books and wasting time."

Yes, because Nesta - not Feyre - was just traumatized. Nesta - not Feyre - was just abducted, tortured, violated, essentially killed, and turned High Fae against her will.

When Feyre was traumatized, it took her months to recover. And that was with her living in the Spring Court, a Court she was familiar with, a Court that was her home. With a man she loved, where she was surrounded by friends. Nesta is trying to recover from a very traumatic experience while living in a land that is completely foreign to her, living around people who are completely foreign to her. The person she loves is catatonic, and she's surrounded by people who hate her. She has absolutely no one for emotional support, she has no one to talk too, she is all alone and trumatized.

On top of that, poor Nesta can do nothing right to the IC. She reads smut and takes care of Elain, and that's not good enough. She pushes aside her trauma to help them in the war, and that's not good enough. She gets re-traumatized during the war, pushes everyone away, and moves to the other side of town, visiting Feyre a few times a month, and that's not good enough. She sits quietly and politely, and that's not good enough. She lashes out, and then all of a sudden, it's "Nesta is so cruel to us!"

Nesta will never be good enough for the IC because she "let" Feyre hunt. They don't care about her trauma, either from her childhood or now. Even if they were to find out that Nesta had spent her entire childhood being abused, they wouldn't care. They'll never own up to the fact that Nesta's only an inconvenience to them because they failed her by letting her get abducted and tortured after they promised to protect her.

Yes, Nesta has been mean, bitter, ungrateful. Yes, she has made mistakes but none of them have been unforgivable.

However, for me, the worst thing she did will always be kneeling to Amren?!?!

I skip this part of the book every re-read cause I'm like 'Girl, wtf are you doing?"

To Amren, of all people. Nesta, sweetie, I know she's short but you don't have to kneel to stoop down to her level... People kneel to you, my queen, not the other way around.

I'll give her an excuse because she'd just climbed the 10k stairs for the first time, hadn't had any food of water after that effort and was probably not fully herself.

One of my very weird headcannons is that in a modern world like our own, Nesta would have made her family rich again.

One selfie on Instagram and IMG Models would have hunted her down and begged her to sign a contract. Brands would have paid millions to have her on the cover of their magazines or walking in their clothes.

She's tall, graceful, beautiful and sharp facial features and a nearly perfect walk? My girl would have sat next to Naomi and Kate Moss at the Met Gala.

Anonymous asked:

”If Nesta cooked and cleaned, why do we never hear of it?”

Oh, please. Trust and believe, if Feyre did it, Rhys or Cassian (or both) would have 10 page monologues berating Nesta for “letting” her do it.

stop if Feyre had to cook and clean we'd never hear the end of it, that's proof enough 😭💀

Also, canonically, Feyre can't cook. She reheated soup to accept the mating bond.

Who cooked the meal the IC spat on because it was, as said by FEYRE, a completely acceptable and delicious food for human tastes, but not for fae? When all the servant had been sent away so they don't know that the Archerons were meeting with said fae? It's not anyone's fault if you can't read context clues. IT WAS NESTA.

Nesta was raised to be the perfect wife. Best believe she was taught to be a homemaker.

Also, Nesta likes her space clean and tidy. The mess she used to live in was part of her punishment.

When Feyre came back with the wolf pelt, Nesta ordered her to remove her dirty clothes. She and Elain were the ones who cleaned up after dinner in ACOMAF. She picked up Cassian’s cloak at Solstice after he left it on the bench (already doing wifey things when she wasn’t officially his mate).

She tended to the fire and boiled water in ACOTAR. She had a pile of dishes in her sink in ACOSF, so she cooked for herself from time to time.

Feyre is a hoarder. She doesn’t care if she’s covered in mud or paint and spreading it everywhere. There is no chance in hell she cleaned anything.

As for Elain, she might have helped out a little like she did when her and Nesta put the door back on, but for the majority of the home tasks, all evidence points to Nesta doing it.

I will never understand how people keep using the good old "Nesta let Feyre hunt" line when it is the most nonsensical thing and the easiest point to debunk.

Of course, we have to mention that Elain also sat safely at home and, no, "Elain is Elain" is certainly not a good counterpoint against that... Doe eyes and pretty smiles do not make up for everything.

But let's get into my points :

  1. Eldest sister's are not second mothers.

Nesta is Feyre's eldest sister of three years and has no authority whatsoever on her little sister.

Speaking from personal experience, my younger brother and I have the same age difference and, in his youth, he made a bunch of decisions that I thought were wrong. I didn't hesitate to voice my opinions to him and did he listen? Abosultely not. Because I'm his sister, not our mother and I was a kid myself. What did I know anyway? (Not to toot my own horn but I ended up being right anyway which wasn't hard because teenage boys are STOOPID!)

It wasn't Nesta's job to keep Feyre from hunting. Feyre CHOSE to hunt. She made her own decision and it had nothing to do with Nesta.

2. Nesta didn't want Feyre to hunt.

Something that is still important to note because the way people talk about it feels like she threw her sister into the woods. She didn't. She even hated her sister for hunting and saving her family which, I agree, was wrong on Nesta's part.

3. When was the last time someone told Feyre not to do something and she actually listened?

Seriously, the entirety of the first book consists of people saying 'Feyre, don't do this' 'Don't go there' 'You might get hurt' 'You might get killed'... and Feyre doing exactly what she was told not to anyway. It's almost as though the threat gave her even more motivation.

So even if Nesta had tried to tell her sister not to hunt, do you really believe Feyre would've listened?

If something needs to be done and there's a safe way and a risky way to do it, Feyre will pick the risky way 9 times out of 10.

She also could have found a job. For example, she could have asked Isaac if she could work on his well-off father's farm. But she chose the hunting instead.

For that reason alone, saying Nesta let Feyre hunt is not only unfair to Nesta, but a complete mischaracterization of Feyre. A character some people claim to love so much.

4. Feyre made a promise to her mother.

That woman should have demanded that of her husband and no one else. Not Nesta or Feyre.

But if there is a positive thing to take from that promise, it's that it became Feyre's lifeline. It gave her purpose and kept her from falling into a pit of despair. She held on to that.

5. The most important point : there was a fucking parent in that house!

They had enough money to live on for 3 years without Feyre hunting. He could have found a job. He could have created another business that, maybe wouldn't have made him rich as a king once more, but would have fed his family.

And no, his leg is not an excuse. The limp didn't keep him from making a cane for himself or carving little wooden figurines. Didn't keep him from dragging his cot near the fire every night.

And did everyone forget that when Feyre came back home in ACOTAR, she noticed his limp had gotten better after getting his money back?

His leg didn't magically heal. It was still shattered as he counted the trunks of gold his daughter came back with. Or when he crossed the ocean when the queens called. He still had a limp when he was on that battlefield, finally fighting for his daughters.

The problem was never the limp. The shame he felt was more potent than the love he had for his children, that's all.

That man started acting like a father when he got his money back MAGICALLY. But he gets a painting, of course. Not the sister who endangered herself and went out of her way to save the world. (Forever pissed at that!)

I have this strange feeling of disgust for a character we’ve never properly met in ACOTAR and that’s Rhysand’s mother.

The way she died was atrocious, there is no debate on that. (Just like what Mor’s parents did to her was terrible, I still don’t like her, for example).

But everything I’ve learned about that woman made me icky.

First of all, the whole dumping your child in a ring and turning away as he’s getting beaten by other kids. AND turning a blind eye to adults then WHIPPING your child all for the sake of culture ?

The fact that Rhysand has the audacity to hold a grudge against Nesta for Feyre hunting but he’ll find excuses for his mother?

And he got upset when Feyre suggested that his mother abandoned him. Boy, she DID!

Next we have Cassian coming to live with her. When he explained it to Feyre, he told her how mortified she looked upon seeing him at her doorstep and being pretty reluctant to help.

An 8-year-old orphan. Living alone outside in a makeshift tent. Having to clothe himself by beating other kids. And she was horrified that her son wanted to help him?

And the only reason she welcomed Azriel was because she knew his mother. By the time Azriel was born, she was already mated to the HL of the Night Court. He put a stop to the wing-clipping for her but she couldn’t ask him to get an innocent boy out of his father’s dungeon? Couldn’t do anything for all the Illyrian children being mistreated ?

And finally : the RING !

What do you mean you hid you future daughter-in-law’s wedding ring in a monster’s house and she’ll have to risk her life to prove herself worthy of your son? Because you didn’t want him to ‘waste it.’

The boy mom of all boy moms!

Respectfully, no man is worth that effort. Besides, Feyre had already survived 3 damned trials, death and being Made. She could have been spared from the Weaver.

Making a trousseau was nice but everything else about that woman is red flag after red flag. And Rhys cannot make me like her.

I just saw an Insta post and I need to share.

Someone, who clearly doesn’t like Nesta, was complaining that we praise Nesta for killing the Wyrm when she needed the Mask to do so. And that we undermine Feyre for doing the same thing as a human girl (a take I’ve never seen from any Nesta stand or Feyre antis). She went on to call Feyre the image of strength in the series.

Feyre (although she has some great attributes) is a protagonist that constantly needs to be saved. She would have been killed by the Wyrm if it wasn’t for Lucien. Would have died during the 2nd trial if it hadn’t been for Rhys. Was saved by Rhys at her wedding. Saved by Mor and Rhys when Tamlin locked her up. Saved by the wraiths when she retrieved the book. Saved by Nesta when she gave birth.

Feyre is definitely brave, but she always has to be saved.

Next, that creator said it wasn’t fair to forgive Nesta when she was mean to others because of her trauma and not give the same courtesy to the other characters.

Sweetie pie : that is exactly what we are complaining about. The fact that Rhys being Amarantha’s sex slave somehow makes up for SA’ing Feyre and all the other horrors he’s committed. That Feyre hunting for her family for 5 years somehow makes up for destroying a whole court and treating her own sister like a disposable weapon. That Mor having a note nailed to her womb somehow makes up for stringing along Cassian and Azriel (something she admitted to when she came out to Feyre) and wishing horrible things to Nesta when she’s supposed to be a girls’ girl. That Cassian can be a fucking asshole… just because he’s hot. Because let’s be honest, there’s no other reasons.

And Amren is the worst to everyone and what trauma does she have that could possibly excuse it??

On top of that, what we keep saying is Nesta being horrible is nothing more than a rumor. I can count on one hand the amount of times she was mean without a reason in the entire series.

Canonically, TEXTUALLY, these things have never happened. And our criticism just point out the hypocrisy of the Night Court and how Nesta is their scapegoat.

I stopped scrolling though that post after she called Azriel the most boring bat boy (leave my baby bat alone) and saying Nesta being locked up in the HOW was the best thing that happened to her.

I nearly threw up in my mouth for that last one and it wasn’t the pregnancy that did it…

I can’t help but laugh when people say Lucien feels “entitled” to Elain or is “being pushy” because WHAT LOL

“Hey Rhys, what’d you do when you found out Feyre was your mate?”

Rhys: Ah, yes. Well naturally I didn’t tell her, forced her into a bargain that ensured she would be stuck with me for a week each month and then stole her from her wedding and made her train for her own good!

“And Cassian? What did you do?”

Cassian: Um, I … didn’t tell her, got really mad when she started spinning out and then forced her to be stuck with me and to train for her own good!

“Cool. And Lucien?”

Lucien: I betrayed my oldest friend and travelled with her sister across enemy territory, risking my own life just to be able to SEE my mate. Spoke to her once and made the only suggestion that helped her feel better. Then I went off on another life threatening mission and found her father, tipping the scales of this war and then I left Prythian entirely, giving her space. I come to the city where she lives with presents once or twice a year just to check in.

Lucien is objectively the best male in this series lol. He isn’t even my favorite (because I have bad taste in men oops), but I can admit that he is objectively the best one. Like PLEASE!! It’s fine to ship whatever you want to but let’s not defame my boy for no good reason.

I'm tired of seeing people talk about "Hurt people HURT people" only in relation to Nesta.

Ever heard of a character named Cassian? He routinely gets hurt that Nesta's not interested in him and lashes out at her because of it. And let me emphasize that his feelings don't get hurt because Nesta's mean to him (outside of the Wings and Embers bonus chapter, Nesta has never said anything mean to Cassian), but because she's not interested in him. Rather than respecting her choice and her space, he harasses her and verbally abuses her, but his hurt feelings do not justify him hurting her. If Nesta'a trauma isn't justification for her words and actions, then neither is his.

It's ridiculous to me that we're supposed to hate Nesta for all the supposedly hurtful things she's said to Cassian off-page, but we're supposed to love him for all the verbal abuse he hurls at her on-page. Somehow his mistreatment of her on-page is justified because of her actions off-page. When really it just reads as misogyny.

In canon, Cassian's treated Nesta far worse than she's ever treated him. And in canon, the IC has treated Nesta far worse than she's ever treated them. I don't give a single hoot what happens off-page.

Some people are so hell-bent on Nesta not being Starborn and not reawakening the Dusk Court that they make some really bad arguments.

"Cassian also had the Starborn tattoo. Does that mean he's Starborn?"

No, canon clearly states that Nesta's magic - not Cassian's - chose the Starborn logo as their magical bargain tattoo, just like Bryce's magic chose the Starborn logo as her burn scar.

"SJM uses an eight-pointed star to signify other things, not just the Starborn! The tattoo could mean something else!"

Yes, except Nesta told Bryce that her tattoo looked just like Bryce's scar, which shows that, yes, there are other designs for the eight-pointed star (for example the eight-pointed star used in the Valkyrie training, which Nesta thought her tattoo was originally tied to), but Nesta said hers looked like Bryce's.

"Nesta doesn't even have Starborn magic!"

Well, obviously, she does, or her magic wouldn't have chosen the Starborn logo. Plus, if Nesta wasn't Starborn, she wouldn't have been able to get the Harp. Nesta has full control of the Trove like Theia had, and she has the Starborn blood connection that allowed her to enter the chamber in the Prison.

"Nesta's tattoo disappeared, whereas Bryce's scar is permanent!"

Hence, the point of foreshadowing. Remember, Starborn doesn't mean anything in the ACOTAR world; it only means something in CC. Might Nesta eventually get a scar similar to Bryce's? Maybe.

"Nesta didn't react to Gwydion and Truth-Teller like Bryce and Az did!"

Aidas said that both weapons were keyed to Theia's power, thanks to her assistance in their Making. It's why Gwydion calls to the descendants of Theia, but only those with her starlight to trigger the power inside the blades. That's why over the time that Truth-Teller was with Azriel and Gwydion was with Ruhn, they didn't show magic because they couldn't trigger them, and because both blades were not united. Since Gwydion and Truth-Teller were Made by Theia, Fionn, and Enalius at the same time, their bond always linked them and they sought to be reunited, as they were in their Making. Az only felt the blades tug toward Bryce - nothing that significant for his character. Since Nesta seems to also be a descendant of Queen Theia, there's a good chance the blades will emanate with magic/be drawn towards her in the next book.

"Bryce said Az was Starborn!"

No, she didn't. She wondered if he may be or (and emphasis on the or) if his wielding Truth-Teller also allowed him to wield Gwydion. Since SJM added the "or," I think that's to show that Az isn't Starborn, but he can wield both blades, just not to the same effect as a Starborn. Remember, both blades chose Bryce over Az when she beckoned for them, so Az definitely isn't Starborn.

"HOFAS proved that Bryce is the sole wielder of the Dread Trove!"

No, it didn't. Bryce said that Nesta seemed at the mercy of the Mask, but Nesta's never had problems taking it off before, so I wouldn't necessarily trust Bryce's narration here. Nesta has worn the Mask multiple times, whereas Bryce has only worn it once. If we want to compare, we can only compare Bryce's first time wearing it to Nesta's, and neither lady had difficulty getting it off: they merely wished it off, and it fell off. If Nesta is struggling now, we should be asking why? Is it because she gave up so much of her power to save Feysand? Is it because the more she wears it, the harder it is to get off? Is it to show her negative emotional state? Or could it merely be that she wasn't struggling to take it off, but Az just needed to convince her that the threat was over? In the Bog of Oorid, Nesta only willed the Mask off after Cass and Az bowed before Death Herself. We won't really know until we get Nesta or Az's POV, but I wouldn't jump to the conclusion that the Dread Trove belongs to Bryce. Nesta even said herself that the Trove answers to her, obeys her, and no one contradicts that claim. If she was really struggling to control the Mask, I would think someone would have pointed that out in the Ember bonus chapter.

"Anyone Made could have entered the chamber in the Prison!"

Not according to canon. Only two characters have ever found and entered that chamber: Nesta and Bryce. No one knew the chamber even existed until Nesta found it. Cassian couldn't enter it and Az was only able to enter because Nesta opened up the wards to allow him. Is there significance to Nesta, and not Bryce, opening the wards for Az? Yes, I think so since Bryce mentioned that as heir to the Dusk Court, the very wards obeyed her. And what do we see in this scene? The very wards of the place obeying Nesta.

We also find out two things from Bryce that challenge what we learned in ACOSF: the Harp was left in the chamber for a Starborn - not a Made individual - to find. Which challenges the entire notion that Feyre or Elain could use the Dread Trove. Queen Theia, Silene, and Helena were not Made, but they could wield the Trove because they're Starborn. The only question is how Briallyn was able to use the Crown, but I think that has more to do with Koschei than her being Made. And secondly, Bryce specifically says that the tunnels, the chamber and the Harp were left for a Starborn to find: someone who could bear the Starsword (gifted to Nesta at the end) and whose starlight would lead them down there (Nesta found the chamber and the Harp, so clearly she has starlight of some capacity in her veins).

"The Dusk Court chose Bryce!"

I'm not denying that, but she didn't reawaken it. I think the point was to show that she could have - being Starborn - but that Nesta - also as Starborn - will be the one to do it since she's the only ACOTAR character associated with Dusk. Remember, Vesperus needed to be killed, and the Prison needs to be cleared out before Dusk can be reawakened. Also, Nesta did mention on her first visit that the land seemed abandoned, like it was waiting to return to its former glory. And that was before Cassian told her that the land may have once been its own court.

I'm sure, at some point, Nesta will release the pockets of magic that the Asteri left under the mountains. Just as it did with Theia, the magic of the earth will unite with Nesta.

"Bryce killed the Asteri on Midgard!"

Yes, but she didn't kill the Asteri on the Dusk Court. Nesta did. And Vesperus needed to be killed before Dusk can be awakened. If Bryce was meant to reawaken the Dusk Court, then surely she would have been the character to kill Vesperus...but she wasn't. Nesta was. Nesta, who has also killed Lanthys, a contemporary to the Asteri and a Prison inmate. Nesta, who the Prison inmates now fear. Nesta's already started clearing up Dusk, so surely she'll be the one to reawaken it.

"Nesta has no association with Dusk Court imagery!"

Yeah, cause that's what's important here. I could maybe buy this as an argument if Nesta didn't already dominate all Dusk Court foreshadowing, but you don't give a character this much association with the Dusk Court only to have a character with more "imagery" awaken it.

"Nesta's definitely associated with Dusk, but she won't reawaken it."

Then why all the foreshadowing? I don't foresee this much foreshadowing for a character merely "associated" with Dusk.

"Nesta's just holding onto Gwydion until Bryce returns to Prythian to reawaken Dusk!"

No, this scene was meant to be symbolic of Bryce recognizing Nesta as Starborn - as the one to reawaken Dusk like Bryce reawakened Avallen. Remember this scene took place after Bryce mentioned that the Harp and the chamber were left for someone like her to find. This scene showed that she recognized Nesta as someone like her - a Starborn, someone who can wield Gwydion and someone whose starlight will guide them to the truth.

Also, The Dusk Court was not a part of Prythian but an independent kingdom with Theia as its Queen, not High Lady.

Nesta has famously been called a queen in many ways in every single ACOTAR book. She acted like a true queen, a true leader, when she faced the human queens in ACOMAF. Again, she was a true queen when she spoke up during the High Lord's meeting, even making Beron stop and shut up. She was a true queen when she rallied the priestesses and made them warriors.

"The sword strapped down her back... it wasn't the Starsword, though Bryce could have sworn there was something similar about the blade." - HOFAS, ch.6

Nesta Made a blade similar to Gwyndion. On top of wielding the whole Trove. She's almost Theia reborn already.

And if the Prison has to be cleared to become the Dusk Court again, why is it that the inmates stepped away from their gates in fear when Nesta was there? How was she the only person able to end Lanthys if she's not going to be the one to clear it out and become queen of Dusk?

The Dusk Court is also the birthplace of Pegasi. The Pegasi are directly linked to the Valkyries. And I believe Sarah confirmed that our beloved trio will get their flying horses in the future.

Gwyn invited Nesta to the Dusk service. Cassian compared Nesta's beauty to the sky at Dusk.

I mean, y'all... the foreshadowing is barely subtle anymore.

Bryce went back to her world, gave the sword to Nesta and even abdicated her throne. Leave her in Midgard with her mate where she belongs.

And put Nesta on her throne where she belongs!

The more I think about everything Cassian did, the more pissed I am at him. He is the most frustrating character I've ever read about.

Because individually, him as a person? I love him. He's fun, brave, loyal....

But the way he treated (and still treats) Nesta is unbearable. It seems to mating bond brought out the worst in him. But his lovable persona makes it easy for people to overlook it.

Of all the things he's done, I believe I found the worst, though... for now, anyway.

In Wings and Ember, not only do we have the only time Nesta textually called Cassian a low-born bastard, it is also the only time she became physically violent when :

  1. she tried to slap him
  2. she kicked him in the balls

It was fun, honestly. But there's a certain aspect of this scene that I find very disturbing. A parallel, especially.

First of all, Nesta did this because Cassian grabbed her and refused to let go. On top of making some pretty inappropriate comments when she was human and virgin. A fact that he knew very well.

It gets worse when you realize that Cassian did this mere MINUTES after finding out that she had been SA'ed. And here's where it gets more disturbing.

In order to escape Tomas, Nesta pretended to give in so he could loosen his grip. Then she bit his ear off.

In order to escape Cassian, Nesta pretended to kiss him so he would lose focus. Then she drove her knee into his groin.

Tomas ripped Nesta's dress. Cassian looked at it and asked :"What are you hiding beneath all this anyway?"

Nesta was held against her will in both cases. The context was sexual in both cases.

This bonus chapter is full of Cassian being a piece of shit!

Feyre takes credit for things she didn't do.

N°1 : the whole savior of Prythian thing. Like yes, she deserves credit. But quick reminder that Feyre's original bargain with Amarantha included Tamlin and his court. No one else. She was fully planning on leaving the rest of them UTM to suffer just so she could have her boyfriend back.

She broke the curse when she found the answer to the riddle but it was Tamlin killing Amarantha that technically freed Prythian. He deserves as much, if not more, credit for it than Feyre.

N°2 : "I left the Spring Court" ?? It never sat right with me when Feyre claimed that she left the Spring Court. Especially since she states it as though she actualy walked out, head high, like the strong independent woman she is not.

The wedding? She panicked and Rhys arrived to save her. She didn't jump into his arms and she was absolutely not grateful that he came at first.

After Tamlin locked her up? She panicked again and fainted. Then Rhys broke the shield and Mor came to get an uncounscious Feyre.

And, by the way, that little note she sent Tamlin after everything they've been through and technically still being engaged to him, was giving Joe Jonas breaking up with Taylor Swift over a 27 second voicemail.

Like three poor sentences, girl? Really?

I'm sorry but your big female hero is really just a damsel in distress.

Nesta Archeron isn't unecessarily mean. She snaps back at people!

Nesta Archeron isn't difficult. She just doesn't agree with oh-so-special Rhysand.

Nesta Archeron isn't abusive. She fights with a sister who's not scared to fight back.

Nesta Archeron isn't terrible. She just rejected a male who can't take no for an answer and specializes in harassment. (just because you'd happily jump on his d*ick doesn't mean every woman wants to)

I love Gwyneth Berdara to death, let me be clear. But I once saw Nesta and Gwyn's first meeting being described and they said that Nesta was rude and mean during that interaction.

And I have to beg your finest pardon here?

Nesta was talking to the House when Gwyn saw her.

Maybe I'm too european to understand but : "Who are you talking to?" "You've only been working for an hour."

  1. Hello
  2. Who are you?
  3. Did someone ask you?

And the dumping of the books on Nesta's cart...

Don't get me wrong I love women with an attitude, but don't say my girl was rude and mean to Gwyn. Gwyn wasn't all that polite either and it was pretty damn funny.

Names have meaning and we know they have their importance in ACOTAR.

We know that Feyre means Fair/Beautiful. That Nesta means Pure. That Azriel is the benevolent angel of death. Morrigan is a goddess of war...

But has anyone ever stopped to wonder what Cassian means? I did and looked it, and y'all...

Cassian means Empty/ Vain/ Hollow.

I repeat...

EMPTY. VAIN. HOLLOW.

The way I cackled when I found out!
