like wtf is Mor SUPPOSED to say to Nesta when Nesta has been objectively unkind to Feyre and Cass at multiple points? like how is Mor supposed to know what trauma Nesta has when Nesta never spoke about it to the IC. This is understandable, she does not have to share and is very private—but Nesta, and a lot of you…need to understand that if you haven’t given someone a reason for why you’re being terrible, they might just…think the worst and with good reason! If Nesta had sat Mor down and said “I’m a survivor of x and x and feel helpless and want to heal” I’m sure Mor would have had a good reaction. But Nesta didn’t, and she got that moment with Emerie and Gwyn instead, which was wonderful.

but….how do yall react irl when someone is being cruel to your friends….do you say “well they have trauma so lets forgive them” or do you….try and defend your friends because uh

trauma is never a good excuse to be unkind and Mor TRIED to be nice to Nesta when they were introduced and Nesta was always uninterested in being kind back!

idk I just think that the whole “i cant forgive mor for saying a few unkind words to nesta but nesta is uwu baby princess who can do no wrong” is a HELLSCAPE of a take. Nesta ADMITS to having an issue with using cruel words. So………while yeah maybe Mor was not Picture Perfect in her treatment of Nesta consider:

1. Nesta has not been picture perfect in her treatment of like…anyone aside from Gwyn and Emerie

2. Mor loves Feyre and Cass who Nesta hurt frequently pre acosf, it’s literally fine and okay behavior to defend your friends

3. why do people continue to judge characters based on whether or not they were unkind to Nesta like WHAT EVEN IS THAT

NOT EVERYONE WILL LIKE EVERYONE ELSE

IT’S A BOOK IT NEEDS CONFLICT

Don’t you love when woman…

A queen—a queen who bowed to no one, a queen who had faced them all down and triumphed. A queen who owned her body, her life, her destiny, and never apologized for it.

Morrigan; lovely and bright and brilliant as the sun herself. A female who knows hateful abuse by its first name, and can still rise every morning with merriment on her lips. A lethal warrior, a fierce third-in-command, a loyal friend. A good person. So why is she despised?

Mor, from the first page, is depicted as proud and laughing. She loves her family, the Inner Circle, and refuses to tolerate any slander against them. Time and time again, Feyre narrates Mor’s devotion knows no restraints, that she would end the world for those she loves. We loved her for it, applauded her sharp remarks against those who had wronged our sweet Feyre, commented on her unwavering allegiance. 

And yet, when Nesta makes no attempt to hide her distaste for her sister, some of you had the audacity to be shocked when Mor snapped. Mor loves her High Lady, has always stood by her side and protected her fearlessly. It must have hurt her to see Feyre harmed by her own family; don’t forget, Mor herself suffered unforgivable trauma at the hands of her parents. To see Feyre crying over Nesta… that would have pained her beyond belief. It would have struck a chord within her. 

Mor saw a friend in fucking tears, and she was furious. She had every right to dislike who Nesta was pre-ACOSF. Are we actually going to blame her for defending someone who was practically her own sister? Mor may not have understood Nes’ trauma, but she was not wrong for what she did. Neither was she wrong in the case of Cassian. Do none of you understand what it means to love someone? You protect them, worry after them, try and ease the source of their pain the best you can. 

Mor is not a saint. She can’t read minds. When she was cruel to Nesta, though it may have hurt Nes, Mor was defending Cassian. Cassian, who reached out a hand when nobody else did so long ago. Cassian, who she has known for five hundred years. Cassian, who looked after her like a brother. Come on. Since when do we hate characters for watching over each other?

I have, rather amusingly, also seen arguments over Mor’s sexuality. She is closeted and bisexual, with a preference for females, and little interest in sleeping or going out with males. Mor owes it to nobody to come out; she may do so when she feels comfortable and ready to share her news. I cannot believe people are whining “Ohhh, Mor can’t lead Azriel on like that, it’s just not fair to him.” That’s fucking funny.

I will ask, has Mor hinted towards him she might be ready for a relationship? Has she made advances? Has she mentioned by word or deed that she feels anything but sisterly love towards Az? 

If anything, she has done quite the opposite. Mor is not responsible for whatever Azriel has convinced himself of. It is not her job to sit him down and tell him she has no interest in their romantic relationship. She is not leading him on: Azriel is simply pining over a female who feels no attraction for him. It is disgusting that some of you think Mor owes Azriel an explanation. He chose to love her. She is not responsible for un-making that decision.

Mor is allowed to defend her family. She is allowed to live her life. She is allowed to have a wonderful girlfriend who will care for her, and protect her, the very same way Mor has protected so many for all her years.

I am not opposed to her dating Emerie, but I hate the theories Emerie will knock Mor down in defense of Nesta. I myself am actually pro-Nesta, but I will not allow lovely Mor to be slandered. She deserves someone who will understand her, not someone who is only going to berate her. Does she deserve to be held accountable for a few hateful comments? Yes. Does she deserve to be detested herself for it? No.

I also happen to hate the theories Mor and Eris are going to reconcile. Fuck, Eris hurt her unforgivably. He saw her bleeding and shaking and sobbing, nails in her stomach, and did he reach out? No, he curled his lip. And insinuating Mor lied about her abuse… this is so awful. Abuse survivors are already never believed. We do not need to project this further. And we do not need another shitty redemption arc for a brutal male with a sad story. 

I would like to see Mor holding Eris accountable. Not Cassian or Azriel or Feyre or Rhys or Nesta. Mor. Because we see in ACOWAR that Mor is not over her trauma, and being around Eris terrifies her. She can never find her closure if she does not stand up for herself, and she desperately needs closure. Even then, I don’t think I’ll be able to forgive Eris.

this crazy bitch got through AMARANTHA who had the powers of all the high lords while she was still human (and very depressed). she then had to go through this awful abusive relationship, realizing she wasn’t loved as hard as she loved him, and recovered. and as if that was nothing she got through war, fell in love again, made new friends and family and BECAME HIGH LADY. and thats not even the big picture.

Feyre and Mor defending the Summer court when Hybern attacked like absolute legends was INSANE.

About Nesta:

Nesta let her baby sister, Feyre, out into the jungle to hunt, where Feyre could have died — which she did, — while Nesta sat in the cottage holding onto her fragile pride. No explanation can ever justify that!

Nesta, as an elder sister, never spared Feyre enough time to teach her how to read, which also got Feyre nearly killed.

Nesta treats everyone, including herself, like shit!

Morrigan tried to befriend Nesta the very first time. — When Nesta came to have a dinner with The Court Of Dreams the first time in ACOWAR. And what did Nesta do? She insulted Mor.

About Morrigan:

Morrigan broke into enemy territory to rescue a girl she barely knew.

Morrigan befriended a broken girl and helped her into molding herself back and becoming a bigger and better person, with no expectations.

Morrigan treats people like humans should be treated. — Unless they get on a wrong footing with her. (i.e. like Eris.)

Morrigan repeatedly drops hints for both Azriel and Cassian to take the clue that she is not interested in having a romantic relationship with them. — She literally nailed Helion just to prove a point to Az. How is that leading on?

To the people saying Mor comes between Nessian:

I am sorry, I don’t understand you guys. — Nesta is in a bad place and isn’t ready to acknowledge her feelings for Cassian.

When Nesta treats Cassian like shit, he turns to Morrigan for some harmless flirting.

Morrigan never initiates any sort of flirting. n e v e r.

If Morrigan wanted to get between Nesta and Cassian, she wouldn’t let Feyre tell Cassian to take Nesta to the illyrian mountains. — She would have stopped her.

And if my best friend was also falling for a person who treated them like Nesta treats Cassian, I would be very wary and skeptical about it too.

Stop talking shit about Morrigan. She is a Queen, who actually cares about people and their feelings!
