things this fandom clearly forgets regarding nesta archeron:

  • nesta is only a few years older than feyre? nesta did not willingly spend years tormenting feyre, their level of maturity was relatively the same, and they were both CHILDREN. nesta, unlike feyre, also had no obligation to go hunt. she didn’t make a promise to her mother, and unlike feyre, it seems that her coping mechanism is to shutdown and withdraw, not to take action. she was also a child, as was feyre. both had different mechanisms. their relationship was also not one-sided. feyre has stated multiple times BOTH were rude to one another. nesta was not the only aggressor. also, elain wasn’t completely innocent, it was said that she stole money from feyre’s purse before when they did not have money.
  • nesta did not randomly flip a switch and become a different person in acofas, you can already see her transforming at the end of acowar. you can see it in how she holds the carvings from their father at the end, and how it’s mentioned that she did not visit cassian after the war.
  • nesta relapsing is attributed to her father’s death. she spent her years berating him and ignoring him because to her, he did not help their mother. she believes he did not try, and she was right. then he did not help in the cabin. but when they needed help the most not only did he arrive, but in a ship named after her. she was willing to sacrifice herself for her father. instead she watched him die.
  • she is not selfish: while working through trauma that took feyre a year to navigate, she allowed herself to begin working to aid the fae after MONTHS. nesta went to a meeting with the high fae, the most powerful fae within their island. keep in mind, fae enslaved and tortured human. they killed their neighbor. nesta has every right to be fearful of them. and she still went. she was willing to die in the battle to give them a chance to win. she did far more than anyone expected her to do, and she did it with grace.
  • she does not owe cassian anything. a common argument that’s brought up is that she treats him like shit, etc. cassian is very closely associated to what sent her over the edge, and that is her father’s death. if we’re also taking a deeper look, everything nesta loves gets taken away. her father. her mother. and she saw cassian on death’s door multiple times. 
  • nesta archeron will not participate in the blood rite. the blood rite is for warriors that have trained. there is no way she’ll participate, let alone with only months of preparation.
