If the IC, Feyre, or Rhys had done nothing to help Nesta in any way, would you all still hate them? Would you criticize them for not stepping in to help someone that was described as being almost anorexic? Would you still write long posts about their selfishness?

What could they have done differently? Because I feel like if they instead stripped her of her financial dependence on them, like many of you say they could’ve done, they would then be criticized for not providing support to someone in a new world.

What other kind of intervention could they have done? What else could they have provided her other than giving her the ability to work with those who were in similar situations? Giving her the ability to train and strengthen her body? Allowing her to break Illyrian tradition and participate in the Blood Rite?

This is the context:

“A year ago, I’d been stuffed into fine gowns and jewels, made to parade in front of a preening court who’d gawked at me like a prized breeding mare.”

To

She wore a dress of sparkling black panels, much like the one she'd first worn here and it did nothing to hide her swelling belly. No, it showed off her pregnant womb, gleaming in the candlelight. Rhys's face was a portrait of smug, male pride.

Nothing to do with her being a Breeder..

If that's not exactly what Feyre was hating in SC maybe I need glasses.

She is quite literally parading around HC with full belly hardly wearing anything.

You do you girl. But I'm just pointing out the full 180° she's made. And how I see it as a disservice to her character.

There’s a difference between entering motherhood and the way she is utterly put on display as both Rhysand’s conquest and nothing more than flesh to be gawked at. It is not about the joys or beauty of motherhood.

Additionally, to the reblogs that say something along the lines of “she watched Rhysand die and didn’t want to live in a world where a piece of him didn’t exist” …

Babes. She can have 100 million Rhysand babies. When Rhysand stops existing, so does she, she’ll literally never again experience a world without him in it….because these two are fucking idiots running on pure vibes and spur of the moment chaos.

Also, I will never not be mad that Feyre will literally never get the chance to experience the world without trauma, a war to fight, or being tied to taking care of someone else. Rhysand has had five hundred years to experience the world, to grow and discover who he is…Feyre is in her early 20s. She’s a baby who hardly knows anything except abuse and trauma.

Feyre on hearing Nesta's voice in her head:

Emerie on hearing her father's voice in her head:

Verbal abuse can also come in all shapes and sizes:

name-calling

condescension

manipulation

criticism

demeaning comments

threats

blame

accusations

Name-Calling:

- "A half-wild beast, Nesta had once called me."

- Called her a pig

- Called her ugly

Manipulation/Condescension:

Demeaning Comments/Criticism:

If you truly see all of this evidence and think that Nesta still wasn't verbally abusive to Feyre, then I'm concerned. This isn't even ALL of it. This is just from ACOTAR and the beginning of ACOMAF. Imagine how much more there was in ACOSF.
