The Prompt list for Neris Week 2026 may have accidentally escaped containment. Unfortunately, all records have been reduced to emojis. Can you crack the code?
The full reveal is coming soon, but until then we'd love to hear your guesses. Which day do you think will be your favorite?
Hey, look! Spotted Lucien and Eris in the wild
The pregnancy plot from SF feels so illogical that one day I was seriously investigating the anatomy of newborn bats. Just so you know, babies of every species are very flexible at birth. Human babies are flexible - their skull bones aren't connected so they can squish. In the same way, bats are born with soft wings which harden shortly after.
Also, what kind of hips should an Illyrian woman have to be more special than an ordinary female body, which can give birth to a child weighing up to 5 kg?
And of course, someone could always refute that Illyrians aren't bats and respectively, hard wings in uterus is part of the canon, but the whole ordeal doesn't stop being stupid as the logic of biological processes was the least of the problems with this pregnancy plot.
*deep sigh* anyway, newborn bats are as ugly as newborn humans, but the baby form of both is so cute. Damned evolution and the big eyes of these fragile beings making me, a serious woman, go "awwwww, what a cutie patootie!" 🥺
As much as I like to rag on the IC for locking Nesta up, the fact that in an original draft they were going to send Nesta to a fucking war camp, after she has PTSD from being in a war, and said war camp is filled with raging misogynists, is just mind boggling. Thank fuck SJM changed that plot thread because holy shit that would make Rhys and Feyre the scum of the earth.
For who wants to compare the text.

As everyone may or may not know, @theladyofbloodshed sadly took a step back this year after having run Neris Week for several years. We've got some huge shoes to fill, but this year's team has already been hard at work to transition this event week into something really special across not just Tumblr, but also Instagram and Reddit!
Without further ado, and in alphabetical order, please welcome this year's mod team! behind the cut!
❤️🔥
I don't know if any of y'all have seen the unofficial acotar musical that pixelplayhouse has been developing over the last 6 months or so, but they released a Rhysand song from his bargain with Feyre under the mountain a couple weeks ago and it just goes to show that any adaptation these books get are going to completely miss what sjm actually wrote and later swept under the rug.
First: The artwork accompanying the songs do lot trying to make the whole situation better than it was.
This is supposed to be when Rhysand makes a bargain with Feyre. They've portrayed him standing a respectable distance away, noticeably NOT twisting the bone sticking out of her arm.
Next the dress. So much for 2 panels of sheer fabric and a belt. I get that YT won't allow nudity, but this is just a dress.
Furthermore, some lyrics and the picture fails to take into account the fact that Rhys forcibly drugged her with faerie wine. One line says something like, "don't keep your goblet full" but the fact that he forced her to drink is essentially nonexistent.
And then this is how they decide to portray the dancing. I guess if this is how everyone in the pro crowd sees it, i get why they'd want to excuse Rhys for everything, but when Lucien comes to see Feyre after Rhysand trots her out the first time, we get on page confirmation that the dancing was not wholesome:
Again: I get that some stuff can't be shown on sites like YT, but to utterly take the teeth out of these scenes is a disservice to what was written
Overall, the lyrics are pretty close to the book, but they threw in this line to absolve Rhysand of forcing Feyre to do anything and making it look like she just played along for...no reason? I guess?
I guess I figured they'd do something like this, but it was still disappointing to see
Honestly it’s kind of disgusting to downplay what really happened. Feyre was basically naked in front of that crowd each night and was sexualized against her will while drunk to the point that there are gaps in memory.
Even if you want to look at it as SJM’s attempt at a degradation kink or some kind of slave kink, pretending she was in a modest dress dancing normally is just deceitful.
If people have to hide what happened to make Rhysand look good and absolve him of guilt even in fanwork, it just makes it seem like people are in denial. If what he did wasn’t as bad like people love to say, why not portray it exactly like the book, word for word following the descriptions? Why not show the dress is sheer even if you can’t show her privates fully? Why not show that she’s dancing between his legs in what is implied to be a lap dance? Why not show him holding her arm with the bone sticking out? How he twisted it before nearly walking away, putting her in more pain to coerce her into accepting the bargain? If it’s not that bad, show it for what it is.
Even if people like Rhysand, accept what he did in canon. Accept his actions were twisted and fucked up. Especially in this particular moment.
the fanfiction inside my head should be considered lost media
I’m back on my bullshit thinking about ACOSF again.
Comparing Nesta and Feyre’s journeys is just so . . .wrong. Regardless of who you like more, when you take the time to reflect on how both of their love stories “end”, objectively, one is at best an abuse victim, at worst a horror story.
Feyre gets everything she ever wanted, absurdly quickly. Five homes, endless power, a baby boy within a couple years of her marriage when many fae try for hundreds of years. Her mate/husband is a piece of shit, but she forgives and loves him regardless. All of the most powerful people in the Night Court, and not a single one who will ever be anything less than an echo chamber for Feyre.
Nesta is berated like a dog for all of ACOSF. She is trapped, only let out to complete tasks, her own body’s abilities hidden away from her, and used as a sexual object to control a man. She is emotionally berated by her jailer while he continues to fuck her. All of her sharp edges are filed down until she is acceptable. When she steps out of line, she is then physically abused via the hike, forced to carry more than her body is meant to endure. The abuse continues mentally, despite the man she is with knowing she is suicidal.
Yet, Nesta endures. She does as she is expected. She breaks. Against all odds, she survives the Blood Rite, despite no one in the Inner Circle caring to try and help her.
She saves the entire Night Court royal family. High Lord, High Lady, son.
By the end, mere months after Nyx’s birth, Nesta still has no place in the Night Court. She is emotionally abused, still. She exists to serve. Her te refuses to defend her, even when her life is threatened. The only home she has is very nearly trapped inside of, being forced to other perform extreme physical activity, or ask another person to let her leave her own house.
Nesta is an abuse victim. I honestly do not care what mean things she’s said to Feyre when they were literal children. I do not care that the “cruel” voice in Feyre’s head is Nesta’s. That does not justify or excuse that Nesta is trapped and emotionally and mentally abused on her best of days. She has nothing in this new life that is hers. Everything is held within the palm of Rhysand’s hand.
Feyre has gotten everything she ever wanted. She has faced no consequences for the hundreds of lives she’s utterly ruined. For the theft or laws she broke. She is loved, cherished, protected, adored.
Nesta is eternally paying the price for childhood sins. She is trapped, violated, and has become the thing her mother wanted her to be. A woman taking the abuse men offer, all for the sake of her family.
Nesta will never see the world. She will never know what the world has to offer for a woman with a good name and coin to spare. Nesta is a horror story.
She still doesn't have a bank account in her name.
She is bound to a house she can't freely/easily leave.
And the mating bond is a very important thing that shackled her to a partner who has a hard time seeing the best in her.
At the end of book Nesta thinks how she has to earn love AND everyone around her is responsible for this.
"Nesta Doesn't Want to be Coddled"
I'm sorry are we talking about the same woman who used her terrifying, cauldron given magic to turn a house into a friend who gives her chocolate cake and smutty books? The same woman who nearly cried because Ember stuck up for her?
This woman longs to be coddled. She is yearning for it. She has never been coddled in her entire life, not even when she was a child. She is in a major coddling deficit.

Fanfic idea for people who want to explore the sibling relationship between Nesta and Feyre.
Takes place somewhere between WAR and SF.
Feyre wants to invite Nesta to another family gathering, but because she doesn’t want to be recognized and attract stares in Nesta’s neighborhood, she shape-shifts her face into something less recognizable. While she waits for Nesta, something suddenly triggers her, or perhaps the more she thinks about Nesta’s situation, the more her anxiety grows, leading to a panic attack. The exact cause doesn’t matter, but Feyre needs to be visibly distressed.
Nesta passes by and stops when she notices a distressed girl alone in a dark place. She approaches with her usual cold stance, though there’s a hint of worry beneath it, and asks if she needs help. Feyre is too startled to reveal her real identity, meanwhile Nesta helps her. Maybe she uses a grounding technique she uses during her own ptsd episodes, showing care in such a genuine way that Feyre remains shocked by the dissonance between this Nesta and the one she thinks she knows. And because we know Feyre isn't attached to morale principles(reminder she did read Lucien's mind), when Nesta asks for her name, she lies.
Here we have two options:
- for a more nostalgic or sad reaction from Nesta — use “Clare”
- for a slightly amused reaction — use any name starting with “Ne” (or “Fe”) like “Nelly” or “Nessa”
Nesta asks Feyre if she wants a drink. She mentions there’s a place with good music, so good that it’s rumored to heal an aching soul. Feyre suspiciously asks, “Does it?” and Nesta adds nonchalantly that nonetheless the music is really good. A gross sound interrupts her (maybe someone pissing nearby, or a drunken fight accompanied by loud curses) and she continues that it’s definitely better than staying alone in the dark listening to that.
Feyre, who misses seeing a normal side of her sister, takes advantage of the situation and accepts.
People no longer know the difference between a ship and a crackship. And this is a problem.
A crackship is something utterly ridiculous and impossible by the canon logic. Just because characters won't be together in canon doesn't automatically mean it's a crackship.
Lucien and Vassa aren't a crackship. Nesta and Eris aren't a crackship. Gwyn and Azriel aren't a crackship. Even Nesta and Rhys aren't a crackship. (And I mention these couples because I've seen how people categorize them as such)
Cassian and Bryaxys, Feyre and Suriel - kinda enters the territory.
Rhysand and the humanised lint roller is a crackship.
So if you don't ask yourself on what drugs is the person who made the ship and if your eyebrows didn't reach the back of your head then it's not a crackship.
You may find a ship absurd and implausible in canon, but shipping culture is made exactly on things that didn't make it in canon, or would've worked in different circumstances. Until it's not beyond all bounds of sanity, it's just normal shipping.
In addition, the term rare ship also exists. If a couple isn't mainstream or has ~0 fics/arts it doesn't mean it's a crackship, just a rare ship. As example Nesta and the blacksmith or Nesta and Stryga. Or Rhysand and Beron. Or Feyre and Grayson.
Not really the first thing that comes to your mind but someone saw potential in these dolls being together. Illogical by canon but in more of a "who would ship them? Anyway…" way, compared to "WTF! What gem of someone's trip is this something? " Example: Dobby and Dumbledore or Lucius and his Vase.
Hi everyone I have an observation I want to share with the world.
Cassian is Ross.
Thanks everyone for the attention!

I've seen this humorous poetry online and it's so nessian coded (especially Nesta's side).
I love you, but I foresee That once I will offend you very much. And you'll offend me back, And our romance will come to naught. It all will end in misery, So fuck you now, proactively.
