The grief of Rhaenyra Targaryen

HOTD | Group portrait of the Targtower and Velaryon siblings

First time drawing Joffrey, Daeron and Helaena \o/ (note for those seeing these in the future, this was before S3 casting and I based Daeron on Lucas Lynggaard Tønnesen)

Often when drawing I cannot resist the urge to hurry the piece along because I also want to see the ending. But I tried to slow things down for these pieces and really concentrate on the details.

There’s Driftmark discourse happening again and I am going to add my two cents in on the book version of events because I think the show, very obviously, had an agenda against the Velaryon boys (and the Dragon Twins 😒) in order to give Ryan Condal’s self-insert more ‘sympathetic’ moments.

The events happen as such: they are NOT at Driftmark for Laena’s funeral, instead they are there for Laenor’s. Baela and Rhaena are non involved. Aemond sneaks off to claim Vhagar. Joffrey spots him and attempts to stop him. Aemond shoves him into dragon shit and proceeds to claim Vhagar. The fight between the queen and princess’ boys commences.

Joffrey ran to get his brother’s help. Jacaerys and Lucerys came back with him, all three bearing wooden swords. They fell on Aemond with a “fury,” but Aemond was older and bigger than all three combined and fought back. He managed to disarm three year old Joff, break five year old Luke’s nose, and smash the wooden sword he’d taken against the back of six year old Jace’s head. All three boys scrambled to get away from him, as he had thoroughly beaten them. There is absolutely no mention of Aemond receiving injuries from this part of the encounter, despite describing what he did to the Velaryon boys and his being ‘outnumbered’ by apparent ‘equal’ opponents.

Aemond felt ‘big’ and ‘mighty’ after claiming Vhagar and successfully beating up his ‘bastard’ nephews and began to gloat at them. (which, remember, this isn’t the night of their estranged aunt’s funeral, it’s the night of their father’s funeral.) The only boy old enough to understand the insults being levied at them was Jace, who proceeded to fly at Aemond and very quickly began being beaten “savagely.” Once again Aemond, the much older and bigger boy, had BEATEN all three of his nephews. He didn’t stop, instead continuing to attack Jace. Luke grabbed his own dagger (meaning he’d had it the entire fight and not used it), came to the rescue of his brother, and slashed at Aemond’s face in an attempt to get him to stop.

What this obviously indicates is that, whether you think the Velaryon boys were valid or impetuous in their going after Aemond, Aemond won. All three boys were on the ground. The ONLY reason the (rather one-sided) fight continued is because he decided to start mocking them. The only one that went back in was Jace, and Aemond beat him AGAIN. We’re not told that he stopped beating him ‘savagely’ at any point. It cuts directly to Luke grabbing the knife he’d had the whole night and slashing (most likely wildly) at his face. The book verbatim says he “came to the rescue of his brother.” Luke is not some maliciously evil child who deliberately tried to maim his older uncle for life, he was a desperate kid trying to stop his brother from being hit repeatedly with no end in sight.

Even in the show it’s hard to take that viewpoint seriously. Sure, the boys are slightly older, and the Dragon Twins are involved, but Aemond is the one who tells Rhaena (a child he’s never met on the night of her mother’s funeral) that a pig would suit her to ride. He gains the upper hand against all four of them. He tells Jace and Luke, “You will die screaming in flames just as your father did,” and to all of them, “I’ll feed you to my dragon.” Mind you, at least three of these kids are actively grieving, Baela and Rhaena over Laena, and Jace over Harwin. There is nothing sane about this encounter.

You cannot cherry pick the scene and dialogue to your heart’s content just to victimize Aemond and villainize the Velaryon boys (because of blood status, mayhaps? tricky tricky). Did Aemond deserve to lose his eye? No. Did Luke intentionally try to take his eye? No. Was it an accident that could have very well been prevented if any fucking adult was near even one of those kids? Yes. The Velaryon boy’s are not “monstrous.” They certainly don’t grow up to commit atrocities left and right- oh, wait! We know precisely who goes on to do exactly that. Figures.

Wasn't my 1st attempt of getting a new keyboard with high hopes it would motivate me to start writing (fanfic) again... but something catches on, idk for how long, and all i could think was how did i even managed to hold that much attention to even write anything before???

Also I really love my new Ajazz keyboard. I traded the original switch (blue mechanical) for gummy linear ones and changed the keycaps into transparent ones. Might do more modif with different switches and caps in the future!!

it's ageism. it's drug abuse. it's self loathing. it's eating disorders. it's plastic surgery. it's misogyny. it's dysmorphia. it's mother-daughter relationships. it's dissociation. it's disability. it's objectification. it's self harm. it's addiction.

it's the substance

this zine functioned as the final project of my alaskan ecology class, and is an overview of a topic i find really fascinating, the way that salmon move nutrients across long distances and between ecosystems. i'm so happy with how the zine turned out, and it was a really fun project to work on! there are copies of the full zine for sale if you'd like to read it :^)

AFTER TWO YEARS I FINALLY FINISHED! 👏💚 So I’ve been holding this piece off for a while. It’s a Fruits Basket-style-love triangle piece with Lettuce, Shirogane, and Pie.

Their outfits are based on the New anime (and Pie’s from Re-turn with a little more flair). I’m a bit iffy on the pink skirt since the coloring choice was a bit rushed, but I’m super happy with the result!

[karinonsan]

Pietasu could be the true definition of enemies to friends to lovers trope and we adore them for that 💜💚

two corpses, one grave. Set directly after DH. The characters of everyone is mostly on point and their motive is expanded logically based on what we know of canon. As close as IC as they got!

the one where devon tells simon and sinclair will is the dark king and become Phillip's illegitimate son for everyone's convenience (not exactly titled that lol) for want of a nail fic. Havent read it till the end, but its going great since i love tropes like this

Hopefully ppl will add more.

i simply need everyone to understand that i am tired all of the time. literally at all moments. if i ever go somewhere and do something, it is not because i am somehow full of energy, but instead that i have carefully stored up all of my little bits of energy like a dragon collecting jewels, and am now vaporizing them all at once
