Neris week is only 10 days away!
We’re so excited to finally see what you’ve prepared and share our own creations with you! But with all the excitement, real life still brings plenty of other emotions: joy, exhaustion, anger, love, chaos... sometimes all at once.
So, we made a little game to check in: Which Neris mood are you today?
Share the post and tell us which one matches your current vibe! And don’t forget to show some love to the amazing artists linked below.
Then, with our moods properly assessed, back to preparing for Neris Week 2026!
i feel like a lot of fandoms pride themselves on being gayer than the source material but have they considered being less racist and less misogynistic than the source material as well . could be revolutionary

Prythian’s own Mother of all Mothers - Lady Death, Queen of Queens, the ✨ Nesta Archeron ✨
this is the most gorgeous Nesta I've ever seen like genuinely, she'll look like this in my mind from now on!

Mommy! Who said that 👀 (Iro did such an insane job please see here for the dress this was based on)
Was this supposed to be for day 7 maybe but I'm physically incapable of keeping comms to myself. Anyways we all know the mother herself watches over Nesta, I can't wait to see where that and the eight pointed star on her back takes her!

Neris (I'm predictable) intertwined, Nesta in blue, Eris in red, in the Autumn court at dusk.
As always Tasya did an incredible job!

I wanted to depict a side Nesta happy to just admire her sisters, truly the Valkyries in their element!

I've just downed an entire bottle of muscat so I will not remember posting this but the level of self insertion in the ACOTAR fandom is kind of crazy
Like I'll take Nesta cause she's my fave but the whole thing of you either like or hate Nesta based on whether "you've had a Nesta or been a Nesta" is crazy...if I was to project myself onto a character in the acotar verse my life is probably most similar to Feyre's but that holds no influence on how much I like or dislike a character.
I enjoyed/found Nesta's character pre-ACOSF because I thought her anger at father was justified, I understood her transference of hatred of the situation she was in/papa Archeron onto Feyre for having the gall to save them deeply interesting.
I thought her relationship with Elain (and Feyre's or an extent) was a good look at how children are conditioned to protect whoever is presented as the most vulnerable and how you eventually start to resent them for that
I thought the fact that she hated Feyre (canon please read the bonus chapter) but would still make a deal with a mercenary and cross into Pyrthian on sheer principle fascinating.
I found her hating here position post forced transition into a Fae but still doing everything asked of her eye opening into her character.
I thought that her character being deemed "morally grey" by the fandom because of her interpersonal relationships while actually being the most morally rigid character in the acotarverse interesting because it shows how female characters are often stripped to their worst selves even when shown growth past this and aren't given the same leniency or complexity as male characters even while having it written on page.
I hate this era of relatability we've been forced into where you need to decide whether you like a character on the basis of whether they share similarities with people who have done you right or wrong in real life. Nesta is my fave based on the merit of how she's written.. end of.
I also hated the idea where you would hate a character if you knew them in real life. I refuse to divulge my personal information here but as aforementioned if we're talking about characters I've basically been a much worse off version of Feyre but Nesta didn't hurt me, she isn't real.
♕ Announcing Nesta Archeron Appreciation Week 2025 ♕
Join us in celebrating Nesta Archeron from April 21 through April 27, 2025!
Welcome to Nesta Week 2025! Feel free to participate in any way you can, from headcanons, fanart, moodboards, fics, drabbles…. no matter how big or small, anything celebrating Nesta is welcome!
Please tag @nestaarcheronweek and use the tag #NestaWeek2025 so we can see all your lovely posts!
This year’s prompts are as follows:
- Day One: Bonds ♕ Nesta has forged many bonds during the series, from the Valkyries, to Elain and Feyre, to even a brotp with Azriel. What do you think of the bonds she's formed with her family and friends?
- Day Two: Mask ♕ Nesta wielded the mask in ACOSF, but she's also an expert in hiding her true thoughts and feelings. What does Nesta wearing a mask mean to you?
- Day Three: True North ♕ The eight-pointed star has many meanings in Nesta’s journey, but the path is far from over. Where do you think her star is pointing?
- Day Four: Lover ♕ Nesta has had many opportunities for love across Prythain — who do you ship her with? Cassian? Emerie? Eris? Gwyn? Azriel? Cresseida? Any and all ships are welcome!
- Day Five: Mother ♕ Not only does Nesta have a bond with the Mother, but she's also
mommyMother. How do you see this word applying to her? - Day Six: Birthday Girl ♕ While Nesta doesn’t have a specified birthday in canon, that doesn’t mean we can’t celebrate our favorite character turning a year older! How do you think Nesta and the people who love her would celebrate her special day?
- Day Seven: Free Day ♕ Any topic of your choosing!
