so... which is it. the "concerned family" or the "political embarrassment" in terms of Nestas "rehabilitation" bec if it's the former the most Feyre is really able to do is what most families do which is provide emotional, and maybe, financial support or cut her off and let her figure it out on her own. if it's the latter, they abused their power as the rulers of the area towards a citizen by displacing her and demolished her home and lied about their laws in order to get her in line so like
which is it? concerned family or abusive politicians? can't be both bec of the gross power imbalance and implications put in place. they Cannot remove her from her home as a "part of her family". it's well known rehab only works if it's your choice. and it wasn't her choice considering the alternative was to be hunted for sport and killed in the human lands
they could have let Nesta keep her apartment and still work in the library. they could have cut off her tab and stopped paying for shit. they could have asked her what she needed. they could have met her half way (ELAIN) and met with her where she requested. they could have not bribed her with attending parties where it was obvious ppl didn't like her. Feyre and Elain could have had their own intervention without any of the IC members present to discuss their concerns with Nesta and how much they love and worry for her
but none of that happened
Rhys may be her "brother in law" but the actions he took were as a high lord. Feyre may be her sister, but her actions were that of a high lady. it was all around an abuse of power and just bec "she deserved it" (@nesta antis) does not mean she deserved to have political abuse held over her (that is quite literally so disgusting like LOL Tamlin used his power as HL to be able to keep Feyre trapped in his house so 👀)
If yall think Rhys abusing political power over Nesta is handy dandy and okay then yall should admit that Rhys routinely abuses his power for his own sake and his own wants and is Not the world's bestest high lord ever
