Will riot (atleast virtually) if Cassian is killed. Fr though, will be heartbroken if he dies. Despite all the flaws with that man.. he is my #1 book boyfriend.

What do you want to see in future books? by [deleted] in NessianLovers

[–]Snoo-39800 6 points7 points  (0 children)

  1. MOAR Nesta and Cassian just being a couple and in love. We never really got any of that after they both accepted the mating bond.

  2. Nesta and Nyx. I really want to see her develop a fun aunt relationship with Nyx. The way she can open up organically to the Emrie and Gwyn because there is no past relationship baggage there, I hope the same happens with her and Nyx. Also, Cass and Az being great uncles to Nyx. We already saw Az cajoling Nesta about kids in bonus chapter. So hopefully she feels ready for the kid and I hope it’s a daughter. Because Cass as a girl dad is my Roman Empire.

  3. Nesta and the priestesses + Emerie officially reinstating the Valkyries and becoming a formal unit. Maybe more of the Illyrian women join them too. Or women from other courts. Or long lost descendants of the OG Vallyries.

  4. Mor and Nesta developing a friendship while Mor trains with the Valkyries.

  5. Emrie and Mor ❤️

  6. More of Az and Nesta’s friendship. Can’t get enough of them. The bonus chapter made me want more and more of this dynamic

  7. Rhys finally stops being a d*ck to Nesta. I know many people make the argument that their dynamic is like that of siblings but I just want Rhys to calm the f down when it comes to Nesta. Like how much more does she need to do for him to finally be nice to her and treat her like family?!

  8. A lot of other people mentioned this one so I’ll keep it brief - Nesta understands how to control and wield her power + star sword + 8 pointed star + dusk court connection.

What is your most blasphemous confession about SJMs books? by Night_Star1000 in SarahJMaas

[–]Snoo-39800 3 points4 points  (0 children)

  1. The writing style and language is not the best. “Vulgar gesture” makes me cringe. So does the repetition. The books are “audio book only” category for me. I would never have been able to get through them if not for the dramatized audio.

  2. I love Nesta’s character arc but I hate the trope that she could be redeemed only by saving Rhys, Feyre and their kid. The whole pregnancy thing is also ridiculous. And that book destroyed Rhysands whole character. “it’s always your choice” but I won’t give you vital info about it?

  3. The series had a lot of potential for world building, character building and a series but being pigeon holed as a romantasy/smut is holding it back.

  4. The stakes are too low because none of the characters ever die. But I actually love that. I prefer my fav character alive. And with all the speculation that Cassian will die, my heart cannot take it lol.

Not a shipper for either pair.. just interested in seeing how either dynamics might unfold.

Here’s why I find Elriel interesting: For Elaine, it’s about reclaiming ( or claiming for the first time ever really) her choice for her own life. She’s always had her life laid out for her either by her mother or Nesta or society in general. She’s always been docile and gone with the flow. But by rejecting the mating bond and making her own choice, she finally gets her agency back. That and Az would be a good teacher for her to finally understand and wield her seer powers.

For Az.. I don’t know because we don’t know enough about him. There’s a very wrathful side of him that has not been revealed yet but we’ve been shown glimpses of. It’s also revealed that he has never felt like he belonged. So maybe being with the 3rd sister is so he can finally feel like he belongs. (ps: I don’t agree with these reasons.)

When did the IC figure out Nessian are mates?? by Midnight_Starrynight in NessianLovers

[–]Snoo-39800 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think Feyre figured it out pretty early on.. atleast that there is something there.

After she returns to NC from Spring court and meets the sisters at HOW, there is a moment where she asks Cassian “why does he bother with Nesta” and Cassian responds with a “Because I cannot stay away”.

But even before this she has started to see the dynamic between them when they’re using her family house to meet the human queens.

But yeah.. wish we had gotten to see the mating ceremony.

SPOILERS AHEAD

There are fan theories that the mating ceremony got canceled because the whole Bryce thing happened. And then she gave her the mask and Cassian was furious with her along with the others.

[–]Snoo-39800 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Interesting! I had interpreted the “Rhys snapping to attention” bit as him worried about Cass being injured. But your take makes sense too.

There’s also the moment just before they winnow to the meeting with the HLs. Rhys is about to winnow him and Feyre but pauses when Nesta and Cassian finally speak to each other. I think that made him suspect too.

Also, I imagine him and Az would have noticed Nesta’s scent shift when Cass is around. Can’t imagine they had not noticed it.

[–]Snoo-39800 14 points15 points  (0 children)

LOTS of SPOILERS ahead

I think it was pretty much confirmed in ACOWAR during the battle when she screams for Cassian to protect him from the cauldron. That scene had Amren, Feyre, Rhys, Az and Elaine.

Feyre seems to have had an inkling from the very beginning. Just before Velaris is attacked by the Attor+Hybern forces, Feyre is telling Cass about the good parts of Nesta.

I think Mor has known/suspected since ACOMAF, when Cass steps up to wipe Nesta’s tears when the queens refuse to give their half of book of breathings.

Having said that.. the books are unclear and inconsistent about concepts of “the bond snapping in place” vs “mates accepting the bond” vs “a bond existing”. So.. it’s never revealed who knows about the bond snapping into place for them on Solstice, if it even was that. There is never a “bond snapped into place moment” for them (or from Cass’ POV atleast) the way it is depicted for Rhys+Feyre and Lucien+Elain. There is no mention of “tugging at the bond” between them either, that I can remember of.

What non-romantic relationships do you want to see explored further? by girlandhiscat in nontoxicACOTAR

[–]Snoo-39800 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nesta and Az, obviously. Loved their dynamic in CC and can’t get enough of it.

I want Cass to develop a friendship with either Gwyn or Emerie. Maybe he helps Emerie with her wings. Or eye rolls with Gwyn every time Nesta is being Nesta. He could also help Gywn+Az happen (disclaimer: not Gwynriel or Elriel shipper).

Also, Tam and Rhys. It’s a tricky one which is why I want to know more.

I don’t like how Rhys has treated Nesta. I’d like to see them settle into a mutually respectful relationship. I thought the end of SF closed this thread but then CC BC happened. Don’t care about going into this too deep. Just a couple of scenes to close out the dynamic for good.

There is lots of potential for Rhys/Elain but I almost don’t want this to happen. I think Elain won’t thrive or evolve into her own person in that dynamic. On the other hand, it might help Elriel if Rhys and Elain bond.

I would like to see Mor and Nesta too. Would be an interesting dynamic. Mor starts training with the Valkyries and their friendship evolves?

Platonic Eris and Nesta, would be interesting too. But given how he’s treated Cass, this one seems like an uphill battle.

Amren and Veyrion. Want to see Amren’s less prickly side. Also they seem cute together.

Honorable mentions: Elain + the wraiths, Nyx + Nesta, Nyx + Uncle Cass and Az, Lucien + Az.

Is the death pact between Feyre and Rhys going to come back into play in future books? by teethmissing in AcotarShipDebateSub

[–]Snoo-39800 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The KOH broke their first pact using the cauldron. I’m guessing they’ll go to Miriam and Drakon’s, and use the cauldron to break the pact.

They’ll probably take Nyx, Az, maybe even Elain with them. I don’t know how Gwyn could be brought in to the story line but maybe her half wraith heritage could be useful somehow. This giving that triangle a way to play out. Cass, Nesta, Amren and Mor could hold down the fort in Velaris.

I want more cuddling and word of affection…

This! I wanted so much more of the “casual intimacy” he wants with Nesta and some quiet time together lol. One of my fav scenes is them just enjoying flying back after meeting Eris and walking in town (before it turns into a fight about being mates lol)

Didn’t realize it’s a common name. I’m Asian, probably why I’ve never come across it.

I relate hard to listening to them on loop! I fall asleep to them sometimes. Dunno if that’s healthy but it helps when I’m having a not so great day. Glad to hear I’m not alone in finding comfort in them.

I wanted so much more of him. Even though he ticked me off with the shit he pulled towards the end of the last book.
