rereading acotar and lmaooo nesta had me screaming

NESTA SWEETIE....NOOOOO THIS AINT IT

“We need hope, or else we cannot endure. So let her keep this hope, Feyre. Let her imagine a better life. A better world.”

It was impressive—truly impressive—to see Nesta go ramrod straight, to square her shoulders and look down her nose at the young acolyte, a queen without a throne. “Go spew your fanatic nonsense to some ninny. You’ll find no converts here.”

You see this?” Nesta hissed, taking a step forward.“This is what you should be wearing. Not some silver bells to attract those faerie monsters.”

“How dare you wear that vile affront to our immortal friends—”

“Go preach in another town,” Nesta spat.

DJFKDJF

I wish elain had done the same for nesta

Why are you being so quiet?” Nesta said, keeping her distance.

I’d forgotten how cunning her eyes were, how cold. She’d been made differently, from something harder and stronger than bone and blood. She was as different from the humans around us as I had become.

The exact moment when i started stanning nesta archeron 3 years ago please i love her so much

Nesta wore a simple, pale lavender muslin gown, her hair half-up and billowing behind her in a sheet of gold-brown. Beautiful, imperious, still as one of the High Fae.

anyways

I’d never heard of a glamour not working. But Nesta’s mind was so entirely her own; she had put up such strong walls—of steel and iron and ash wood—that even a High Lord’s magic couldn’t pierce them.

Imagine not stanning nesta archeron after this?

We love an intellectual queen

"I think I’d like to see what else is out there, what a woman might do with a fortune and a good name.”

No limits, I thought. There were no limits to what Nesta might do, what she might make of herself once she found a place to call her own. I prayed I would be lucky enough to someday see it.

done with my acotar reread

cr; acomaf

still aint forgot when y'all acted like nesta was being a huge bitch by refusing her sister when she said and did nothing wrong

and cassian did the exact same thing to protect nesta from amren wrath in acowar

Nesta was waiting at the head of the table, a queen ready to hold court.

nesta archeron laughed i repeat she laughed

Nesta looked down her nose at him. “I have little interest in ever setting foot in your land, so I’ll have to take your word on it.”

“Nesta, please,” Elain murmured.

Cassian was sizing up Nesta, a gleam in his eyes that I could only interpret as a warrior finding himself faced with a new, interesting opponent.

Nesta didn’t bat an eyelash as she studied the handsome features, the muscled torso. Then turned to me. Dismissing him entirely.Cassian’s face went almost feral. A wolf who had been circling a doe … only to find a mountain cat wearing its hide instead.

show this to those dumb bitches who still be hating on nesta but has forgiven elain

It’s been a few centuries since someone got under Cassian’s skin that easily. Too bad they’re both inclined to kill the other.”

Now I know where Nesta gets it. Honestly, it’s a shame we can’t stay longer—if only to see who’ll be left standing: her or Cassian.”

“My money’s on Nesta.”

cr; wings and embers

Honestly, Cassian has been aching for another round against the beautiful Nesta since their first, tense meeting weeks ago, though he certainly hasn't admitted that to anyone - least of all himself

And Cassian certainly hasn't admitted that he may have finally met someone not so easily seduced by his quick grin and unfaltering arrogance.

The power nesta has over cassian

"Nesta Archeron and her unnervingly perfect face"

"You're ten minutes late," she only said, moving toward the far end of the room, where a fire crackled against early spring's chill. Where the sound of the flames might cover their voices. Clever girl.

Like circling the house because he was compiling a list of choice insults to throw her way, responses to an invented argument. Like a complete fool.

BUT YEAH SURE ITS NESTA WHO'S MEAN AND MAKE SURE TO INSULT THAT POOR BABY AT EVERY CHANCE SHE GETS

Here I was," Nesta said, a pillar of ice and steel beside the hearth, "thinking I heard you flapping around for ten minutes. It must have been a pigeon stuck in one of the chimneys."

NESTA ARCHERON GIVES ZERO FUCKS AND I LOVE HER SM FOR THAT

His temper rose with dizzying speed at the words, the absurd perfection of her. A blade given form - that's what she was.

lmaoo she's such a queen

Can we talk about these nessian parallels??

Her blue-grey eyes flicked over him in a sweep that might have cut off a lesser male's balls.

IMAGINE NOT STANNING THIS HBIC NESTA ARCHERON WHO HAD 500 YEARS OLD ILLYRIAN SHOOK

"Why should I bother defending myself," Nesta said with lethal cold, "to a male who is so puffed up on his own sense of importance there's barely enough space in the room for his enormous head?"

It was his turn to blink.

Leader of the High Lord's armies, and yet the brute remains. You cannot cow me with words, so you seek to intimidate me through your hulking size."

"Hulking---"

IMAGINE THINKING NESTA ARCHERON ISN'T A COMEDIAN WHEN SHE DRAGS PEOPLE WITHOUT EVEN TRYING DJFJFJF

"You need me far more than I need you. So I'd suggest you merely agree, tuck in those bat wings, and ask nicely."

DRAG HIMMMMM

It better not be the signs of their mating bond my girl deserves better than this

Cassian couldn't read her at all. So he moved his head closer, his dark hair sliding over his brow, and purred, "There are other ways I could play nice, Nesta Archeron."
