I know this fandom likes to shit on Nesta for being “hOrRiBLe tO fEyRe” so let’s talk about it. I want to discuss Feyre’s pregnancy specifically.

Nesta was forced into a spot (by Rhys) where she should watch her sister die and say nothing about it or she will be the bad guy?! Preventable death no less. What is wrong with y’all?!! Does nobody understand that she is her little sister?!??? Would you be able to watch your sister essentially being forced to kill herself and say nothing about it?! And don’t even get me started on how Rhys had the guts to want to actually kill Nesta for telling Feyre the truth when he knows damn well he let his “mate” die without so much as a warning. He didn’t even give her a choice when she had one. Idk if this is SJM’s pro life propaganda or just a shitty shitty shitty male character but it is unforgivable either way.

Now I know that the main argument is not about what Nesta said but rather how she said it. And I can concede that; but not entirely.

The way Nesta told Feyre might not have been ideal but can we back up for a second and look at why Nesta was destructively furious at the time? I’ll tell you why: because Feyre herself made it ok for strangers to discuss and judge her own sister behind her back. Mind you Nesta wasn’t mad about whichever decision they came to; she was mad that she was being discussed and judged at a “meeting.” Not to mention that the point of the whole discussion was whether to tell her about something that she created. Something that shouldn’t have been up for debate in the first place. I don’t see high lord Rhys creating magic objects now do I? So why’s it even up to him to decide?

And don’t get me started on Amren and her insinuation that Nesta made the weapon so that he can become a dictator. Like okay Amren sure the weapons “aPpEaRd” for Rhys’s disposal. Right. Not like they were made by the same person who killed hybern, lanthys, and briallyn. The person who every high and mighty fearsome creature called “god” and (my personal favorite) “queen of queens.” The same person on whom Rhys’s fancy magic don’t work. The same person who the sacred objects answer to no matter what and no matter where. Sure.

The only sane person in that entire debacle was Azriel though. I am 100% anti inner circle and their high school clique popular image so I must exclude Az from that narrative. Credit is where credit is due.
