Potential unpopular opinion: but I just viewed Amren as over the IC drama.
Like she has her job as second, her partner Varian. Life is good and these new members of her family are causing shit and she is tired of it- so mentally checking out. Doing her 9-5 and then going home.
Her personality has always been abrupt but people played her up as cute and smol and will do anything for her family. While I think it’s still true That she will do anything for her family - she’s not going to take their shit anymore. But rather offer advice and let them handle things unless she is explicitly asked to step in. 🤷♀️
Renée I agree! She’s always been way older and perpetually done with all their shit. She’s more mature and knows her boundaries and she knew when she had to draw a line with Nesta and that’s that!
Amren is more a force of nature than a person. And maybe that makes her rude or a bitch or insensitive, but I also think that she recognized exactly how Nesta was using her - as a shield to deflect Nesta’s own failure/lack of will to integrate - and Amren likely saw how Elain used to play that role, and she said NOPE! I’m not doing that for you. And I do not blame Amren for that one bit.
It’s not Amren’s job to coddle Nesta and bring her through healing, and she knew that it wouldn’t have mattered anyway because the people Nesta really needed to make peace with was herself and her sisters. She took on the tough role that Feyre couldn’t have done in the intervention, basically falling on the emotional grenade to preserve their relationship. So even if Amren was harsh, she did it because she knows exactly what all of them need, but like you said, she won’t do it unless they also recognize that.
