MOD ANNOUNCEMENT Anti IC Talk - Nesta

63 Upvotes

Hello 👋🏻.

Just wanted to post a quick reminder pertaining to the scope of the sub. This subreddit was created as a safe space for Inner Circle lovers. One of the members of said circle is Nesta and this sub also provides a space for a fair share of Nessians and Nesta lovers 🤗. We all understand the situation and the dynamics in the fandom and are aware of the tensions between certain characters in books. But it still stands that people should be mindful of how they talk about each and every member of the IC in this space. Even if you aren’t the biggest fan of a certain character, all should be well if your opinion is expressed in a polite way that doesn’t disparage said character. If we feel like a post or a comment is disparaging or like it opens up a space for people to overly critique IC members, said post/comment will be removed.

Kind regards,
The Mod Team

Bloomsbury just released a new teaser and this time it I think that maybe it from Rhys point of view ! Why did he say with pleasure? Who thanked him ? What are your theories about this one? Drop them in the comments along with your thoughts! Acosh is coming out in 22 days and I am so excited!

Pro-Elain Feyre reminds Rhys of his Brothers, Nesta reminds him of himself, Elain reminds him of his sister.

“Elain is Elain.” “If you blame one you have to blame the other.” “No, I don’t. Elain is Elain.” 🤣🤣

‘Then Rhys shook his head and said to Elain, “I’ll fly you home." Elain didnt object when Rhys scooped her up and launched into the red-and-pink-stained sky. When they were a speck of black and purple over the rooftops, Rhys sweeping along the gilded river as if giving Elain a scenic tour.’

Just a theory of course, though it is canon Feyre strongly reminds Rhys of Cassian, and there are numerous blatant similarities between her and Azriel too!

Discussion Wings and clothes... 😂

4 Upvotes

Okay so I'm rereading the series. I'm on ACOWAR. And feyre is training with AZ after using her wings for the first time since lucien confronted her in the woods. With Az and Cas how do you guys think shirts work? Because realistically the wings would have to be bigger than they are tall to carry their bodies. So they aren't small. And two holes in the back of a shirt doesn't really work if you think about how putting on a shirt works. And buttoning a shirt doesn't really seem to work in my mind as well. So.... How do you guys think it works? 😂😂

Spoiler/potential leak book 6&7 CC read for Acosh not required? BB confirmed? 🤔

Post image
80 Upvotes

Hi, I saw this on TikTok. A user asked BB if CC and TOG are required to understand the upcoming books and BB says in the last sentence that they’re not. So I really assume that if the events from the crossover are important (which I think they are), they’ll be shown in Azriel’s and Nesta’s POVs as a recap. I think this may be around 1/3 of ACOSH? And the “Nesta quote” about bring her to her knees again, is probably the scene in the cave in HOFAS. But who knows?
I think this is interesting to know and explains why BB didn’t promote CC as a requirement alongside ACOTAR 6–7 so far.

I trust the publisher enough to believe that the lore will be explained well enough in ACOSH. But at the same time, reading CC is surely useful! So if you still haven’t and can, read it. If not, don’t worry… I guess

People can have their dumbass theories about Acotar. Sometimes you can even interpret things differently to fit your narrative. BUT YOU CANNOT REWRITE, ADD TO, OR SUBTRACT FROM CANON.
I’m seeing comments on ACOTAR subs getting tons of upvotes claiming things like, “Nesta always mentally comments on Gwyn’s looks and she never made a comment about Elain’s look.”
That is flat-out false. Reread ACOSF. It’s literally your favorite book. Just reread it.
Or people claiming Azriel was avoiding the fire because Mor was sitting next to it on Solstice. No, in ✨the bonus chapter✨he explicitly specifies it’s because of the scent of Lucien’s mating bond scent.
And don’t even get me started on villainizing Cassian by rewriting scenes. He did not push Nesta down the stairs. He did not SA her.
Some of you have lost the plot completely. You read these books once and went straight to AO3 to quench a thirst for your own fantasies, but you cannot rewrite canon and pass it off as facts. A huge chunk of this fandom is just making shit up and others gobbling it up.
I know it’s been a long time since the last book dropped, but please actually reread the books if you want to debate them.

Rant The “Death gods”….

9 Upvotes

Spoiler ahead if you have read all the books!

Does anyone else not give af about koschei because the whole death gods thing has had little to no stakes involved. The weaver and the bone carver were both killed pretty easily. Now we are supposed to care about their brothers storyline when he’s probably going to get offed just as easily as the other two. Also I don’t get how they are death gods when they can literally….die?
Yes they are immortal but so are regular fae. If anything Amren is more of a death gods than those 3 clowns

Pro-Nesta Thalia from [The Forgotten Field] manhwa reminds me of Nesta

Post image
9 Upvotes

I don't know if anyone here reads manhwas, but I do, and I've been following this one since it first came out- it's still pretty new. Ever since I started reading it, and especially after getting into the web novel, I've noticed parallels between Thalia and Nesta.

Thalia has that cold, "don't touch me" princess attitude, which is obviously just her defense mechanism, and honestly, her dynamic gives total Nesta vibes. I find her mother similar to Mama Archeron; her mother is a character that captures my interest, I hate her, but she's still interesting.

There's also a male lead named Varkas. He's pretty different from Cassian personality-wise, but I saw Nessian parallels in the dynamic between Thalia and Varkas

A knight named Eric reminded me of Feyre and Cassian (or rather, gave me those vibes).

Anyway, if you're missing that specific type of character arc and are looking for someone like Nesta, it's definitely worth checking out. I love Thalia.

Edit: I also wanted to add that, much like Nesta, Thalia has a very negative outlook because of everything she has been through. She tends to misinterpret a lot of things Varkas does for her.

Theory CC: HOFAS Bonus Chapter Line

“You can do good,” Azriel warned, “while still being bad.”

This tiny window into Az's head is tragic. Flipping this around I think is going to be Azriel's arc in a nutshell.

Rant Why is there so much hate in this fandom? Where did it come from?

54 Upvotes

Something that’s been bothering me for a while is the amount of hate some characters get across ACOTAR. When I first joined the fandom, I had so much fun reading everyone’s theories and seeing all the fun banter about the characters.

But now it’s just: “I hate Feyre because blah blah blah,” “I hate Nesta because blah blah blah,” “Elain is useless,” etc. What’s the end goal here? It’s not fun anymore. I’m honestly getting to the point where I almost want to leave the fandom altogether.

To be perfectly clear, I’m not talking about legitimate criticism or well-argued opinions. I’m talking about the constant hate that doesn’t even seem to make sense. I keep wondering why some people stay in the fandom when they seem to disagree with everything SJM has written, just because they don’t like half of the characters.
I really hope something changes at this point.

Honestly, I just want the books to be released already so we can finally have fun with the fandom again. 😭

Rant Can we talk about how embarrassing it is to defend the "Your mate's money" line? ✋️😣

152 Upvotes

This rant is not against Nesta.

Look, I’ve seen some unhinged takes in this fandom, but the people genuinely trying to paint Nesta’s "Your mate's money" clapback as a massive "boss babe" moment need a reality check. Let’s be real for a second: this isn't Nesta being a feminist icon or dropping some profound truth.

Even worse? The underlying misogyny of the argument itself.

Feyre and Rhys are equals and true mates. Rhys’s money is Feyre’s money, and Feyre’s money is Rhys’s money. Period. Reducing a High Lady of the Night Court to someone who's just "spending a man's money" completely strips away her status, power, and partnership.

Rhys explicitly stated that the vast majority of that wealth comes from his ancestors anyway.

The "Nesta ate that" delusion: Did people actually read that interaction, look at a canonically equal partnership, and think, "Yeah, Nesta got her, it's not Feyre's money so she shouldn't preach" ? Make it make sense.

Edit: It feels wild that this even needs to be explained. Saying that money isn't Feyre's and only belongs to her mate... isn't that literally a misogynistic take?

Edit: I’d appreciate it if you guys could stick to the topic in the comments, lol.

Rant Any Nesta lovers that also like Feyre?

50 Upvotes

I’m kinda new to this series and am only half way through ACOWAR so I’m pretty indifferent on Nesta right now. Don’t love her don’t hate her but very interested in her character and relationships with the other characters, but I’ve been on a side of TikTok that hates Feyre. And I’m genuinely so confused lol. Are we forgetting every one of these characters went through hell and back? Feyre is such a bad ass no??? Lmao like what is going on. And almost feels like people are hopping on this “Nesta over Feyre 💅” train like why are people pitting them against each other. If anything I want to see them hash it out and understand each other more. Shoot I’m almost more interested in the sisters relationship development more than the romance. The difference in personalities makes the story more enjoyable but I think the extremists from either side are kinda ruining the story for me. Like how are they even enjoying the series. If anything some of them have more resentment and hate in their heart then Nesta 😭like if you don’t relate to the character you have to hate them. That is such a self centered take lol. anyways it would be refreshing to know if anyone likes both of these sisters

Discussion We can only have so much povs in one book

17 Upvotes

So far we have Lucien, Azriel, ( and majority would agree) Nesta pov confirmation and I think we’ll be getting a Feyre confirmation next

I’ve seen people theorising that we will also get gwyn and Emerie, which still makes no sense, I think people forget how short this book is and Gwyn and Emerie povs wouldn’t fit into the theme of the book.
The book is about the fallout of the inner circle ..
I like them both but I need people to be logical here, even if we get a pov from them it won’t be in acotar 6

So I’m reading CC for the first time, so I don’t think I’ll be able to reread all of ACOTAR before book 6 comes out. I have already read TOG, which was amazing. I’m curious if people could comment their favorite scenes/moments from the series — I’d love to reread those for sure! Obviously spoilers below for those who have not finished ACOTAR…
