Hoi I Love Your Works And Stories. I Would Love To Write Boba Fett But Have No Idea How. Any Tips For

It’s frustrating to see how often Nesta is misrepresented in fan art and discussions because it feels like her complexity as a character is being overlooked or flattened. Canonically, she has no issue baring herself to her sexual partners or Cassian, demonstrating her confidence and control in those private moments. But socially, she prefers modesty, favoring conservative, structured clothing that projects restraint and distance. This speaks volumes about her personality: she’s guarded, self-contained, and deliberate in how she presents herself to the world.

Yet fan interpretations often strip this away, dressing her in skintight, revealing outfits that clash with her established preferences. It’s frustrating because it stems from a broader pattern of reducing strong, complex female characters to oversexualized caricatures. People see Nesta’s strength, her sharpness, and her intensity and equate that with a need to visually sexualize her, ignoring the deliberate choices she makes about how she presents herself.

This trend also feels rooted in a misunderstanding of her relationship with vulnerability. Nesta doesn’t bare herself to the world easily—whether emotionally or physically. Her modest clothing is a shield, just like her sharp tongue and cutting demeanor. It’s part of what makes her intriguing, but this depth is often erased in favor of the trope of the “seductress” or “bad girl” who must look a certain way.

Meanwhile, Feyre and Elain—who are more open and expressive in their clothing—are often drawn in softer, more modest ways, which only highlights how much Nesta is unfairly singled out for this treatment. It’s not about denying her beauty or sensuality but recognizing that her power comes from her control and the barriers she chooses to put up—not from flaunting herself in a way that goes against her character.

Ultimately, it’s frustrating because it shows a lack of respect for who Nesta is: a woman who keeps her armor on in public but allows herself to be vulnerable in private, on her own terms. Misrepresenting that in art and fandom spaces undermines the very traits that make her so compelling.

It’s also frustrating how Nesta is always depicted as frowning or scowling in fan art and discussions, as if that’s the only expression she’s capable of. Yes, canonically, she has a sharp and serious demeanor, and she’s not someone who smiles easily, but reducing her to a perpetually angry or sour-faced caricature does her a disservice. Nesta’s stoicism isn’t just about anger—it’s about control, restraint, and a lifetime of guarding herself against the world.

Her frown is often misinterpreted as one-dimensional hostility, but it’s far more nuanced than that. She’s worn down by grief, guilt, and a fear of vulnerability that she’s had to carry for years. Her guarded expressions are part of her armor, much like her preference for modest clothing. They’re not just signs of anger; they’re signs of someone who has endured pain and refuses to let anyone see her break.

And while she may not beam with joy at every turn, it’s canon that she has moments of softness and humor, especially with those she lets into her inner circle. She smirks, she teases, and she even laughs—especially in the company of Gwyn and Emerie, where she feels safe enough to drop her guard. These moments may be rarer, but they’re crucial to understanding her character, and they’re often erased in fan portrayals that insist on making her look like she’s constantly angry or unpleasant.

This persistent depiction feels like it stems from a misunderstanding of Nesta’s character. People take her strength, her pride, and her refusal to be anything but authentically herself as a reason to paint her as bitter or unkind. But Nesta’s journey is one of rediscovering herself, learning to let others in, and finding moments of joy and purpose. Reducing her to a permanent scowl ignores her growth, her resilience, and her complexity.

Nesta isn’t just angry—she’s guarded, hurt, and healing. And while she may not be the type to smile easily, when she does, it’s all the more meaningful. Fan portrayals should capture the full range of her character, not just the parts that fit into an oversimplified “ice queen” mold.

Favorite genre of post

One of my favorite Jedi headcanons is that Jedi walk so quietly that they basically don't make any sound. Whether it's intentionally trained to the point that it's become a habit and they never think about it, it's intentionally trained and they're DOING it intentionally (either for practical reasons or just to fuck with someone), or it's some weird side effect of being Force sensitive that they can't control and everyone just has to figure out how to deal with it, I don't care, I love it all.

10/10 headcanon, 5 stars, no notes.

You don’t own fanfics. They’re inherently public domain because they aren’t your IP. Agree or disagree with AI, there are no grounds for “protection” from AI because it isn’t your IP to begin with. That’s what you chose when you chose this medium

Oh dear.

Okay, you get an answer, because at least you took the effort to write your ask out properly, even if you are hiding behind the grey, sunglassed circle.

Do I, or any fanfic author for that matter, have any legal claims to our work? No, not really, no. (Although if someone took a fic, filed off the serial number--deleted the fandom specific elements--, and then had it published for financial gain, yeah, that would be a case.)

BUT

Fandoms are built on a social contract that says we respect each others work, the effort people put into their art. We don't steal or disrespect the work of our peers. By feeding people's fanworks to AI you both steal and disprect it, and we need to make people realize that before it's too late--before fandom falls apart, because there will be no more real, actual fanworks.

Disrepectfully,
