âlike a compass needle that points north, a manâs accusing finger always finds a woman. alwaysâ
i have a list of things about acosf that are unbelievably enraging, but nesta being punished for rhysandâs mistake, and cassian inflicting that punishment, is in my top three.
flopsandâs excuse for not telling feyre is to free her from stress, and yet he threatened to kill nesta for sharing information he had no right to withhold. i donât know about you, but saying youâll kill your pregnant wifeâs sister is a pretty big stress factor.
now nestaâs having a panic attack, running around the streets of velaris, wrecked with guilt, and here comes cassian, swooping her up to take her to emerieâs shop in illyria so rhys doesnât make good on his threat, right? wrong.
cass-the-ass takes nesta to the wilderness to hike, even after feyre told him to come back to velaris, (i can talk about how not a single member of the inner circle respects feyre as a friend or a high lady for ages, but letâs move on), and HEREâS THE KICKER, he considers it a punishment! he doesnât acknowledge her beyond making sure sheâs still behind him and making her climb mountains in harsh weather conditions, ALL WHILE FORCING HER TO CARRY THAT HEAVY ASS BACKPACK. and then this idiot is surprised when she finally breaks down??? kill me now.
