Tenses in High Valyrian :
High Valyrian has seven tenses: present, aorist, future, imperfect, perfect, pluperfect and past habitual.
Let's see all the tenses with a phrase as an example ;
1 - PRESENT TENSE
The present tense is used for events that are happening at the current moment, and can often be translated into English as "is X-ing".
Valar morghūljas = All the men are dying
2 - AORIST TENSE
The aorist tense is used for statements about general truths or facts and events that usually or always occur. (This tense is a timeless tense).
Valar morghūlis = All men (must) die
3 - FUTURE TENSE
The future tense is used for things that will happen or are going to occur.
Valar morghūlilza = All the men will die
4 - IMPERFECT TENSE
The imperfect tense is used to indicate events that were ongoing in the past, and can generally be translated by "was X-ing" in English.
Valar morghūliles = All the men were dying
5 - PERFECT TENSE
The perfect tense is used to discuss events completed prior to the present moment. It can be translated as either "has X-ed" or "X-ed" in English, depending on context.
Valar morghūltas = All the men died
6 - PLUPERFECT TENSE
The pluperfect tense is used to talk about prior events from the perspective of a past point in time. In general, it can be translated as "had X-ed" in English.
Valar morghūltes = All the men had died
7 - PAST HABITUAL TENSE
The past habitual tense is used for things that occured generally or repeatedly over some period in the past, and can often be translated as "used to X" in English.
Valar morghūltis = All the men used to die
Simple, isn't it ? :)

Aegon strikes me as the type of person who always barges in without knocking, and if u tell him to do so, next time, he will do it simultaneously. He will knock while already opening your door, and you'll just need to accept that that's the best you'll ever get.

Another enduring headcanon that I have is that whilst we have the emotional gap widening between Rhaenys and Corlys, as both struggle and keep things from one another, something that does stay consistent is the need, awareness and ability to take care of the physical wellbeing of their spouse.
Rhaenys will be concerned about Corlys's health, about his recovery. She will consult with Maesters, make sure he's taking their advice. She'll be sure that his diet is good, that he's eating, that he's not taxing himself at the dockyard. She'll take notice of how he's walking, be wary when he starts walking without his stick, ask if he's still in pain, see how he's healing.
Corlys will be painfully aware of Rhaenys's duties and her exhaustion. He'll see the way she holds herself, count and soothe every bruise from her flights and her armour because he'll see them and know. He will make sure she sleeps. He will grumble If she leaves because he thinks the Council takes advantage of her. For every meal she brings him, he'll feed her part of it. If she finally drifts off and it's on his arm and his arm goes numb then he is still not moving because her rest is more important.

i'm having thoughts about alicent and cole's relationship now that i'm officially on board of the "alicent and rhaenyra will have sex" agenda, something that i’d never thought possible before the finale.
though i do understand the purpose of alicent exploring this dynamic and being a part of her disillusionment arc and desire for control, the jarring quality and the timing of the sex scenes bothered me. it is intentional, of course, and i thought they were just highlighting the power dynamic, or how it was just a physical thing for both of them.
but now i think it belongs to a bigger agenda that places rhaenyra as the sexual endgame for alicent.
this is me completely high on rhaenicent crack so i know i sound delusional BUT, what if they gave alicent this storyline where she finally took control of her body and chose to pursue sexual pleasure with a man, so we know she’s open to pursuing it (and now rhaenyra ALSO knows bc alicent CHOSE to tell her), to lead her into a headspace where she’s actually open to considering having sex with a woman. YES, scandalous. but plausible, i think.
they showed us that horrible scene with viserys to very explicitly show it was rape. (i hate that scene and wish they didn't include it but it's there for a reason)
they showed us alicent in a consensual sexual relationship where she finds pleasure with a man, but there’s no intimacy or comfort there. it even feels transactional to an extent.
so if they actually want to pursue her sexual liberation arc until the end, they should also show us alicent having sex with someone she’s in love with, rhaenyra.
then, it would be so thematically satisfying to contrast the parallels between those scenes. it would make more sense to first show us alicent explicitly finding pleasure in sex, and then show us alicent finding love and intimacy and comfort in sex, not just pleasure.

House of the Dragon part seven - Seasmoke.
Welcome back after a bit of a break! 🫀 I needed to take a small pause with House of the Dragon fan arts. Happy to be back! Here's the precious, grey boy. Definitely one of the more charismatic dragons in season 2.

Love that Medusa infiltrates the academy in disguise and doesn’t even bother to use a fake name. Masterful gambit, A+

I just think people write out of obligation too often.
"How do I motivate myself to write through the boring part of my story?"
"How do I make this boring scene not boring?"
Don't write it.
Don't write boring things just because you think the structure of the story demands it. I promise it doesn't need to be there.
If your characters need to have gone shopping for a later part of the story to make sense you can just have a sentence about how they went shopping and move on.
You are not obligated to write the boring parts. No matter what those parts are.
You are not obligated to make the parts of your story that you're not excited to write interesting somehow.
You can just write the fun and interesting parts and gloss over and summarize boring things.
Your audience will thank you and you will thank yourself.

normally it's frustrating when mystery games hand you answers on a silver plate but in ace attorney, the witnesses' tendencies to conveniently say far more than what they were asked for is so hilarious that it becomes its own reward. ace attorney witnesses will be asked what time they saw the murder and they'll say it was 10:40 and they know it was exactly that time because that's the exact minute they open the can of Fancy Feast to feed their elderly russian blue cat, father of 12 kittens and phoenix will be like umm actually i spoke to your cat and here's a written affidavit from him that there was a recall on Fancy Feast and also he's never been to russia nor known the touch of a woman. you're going to jail buddy

I'm not gonna lie, after how incredibly tense the whole situation on Driftmark became, it's so funny that Larys just casually walks to Alicent on the ship like "so you want me to cut that kids eye out or what?"

Two Men and a Dragon (800 words) by misura
On the one hand, I accept that we're probably never going to see Laenor again, and he's just going to live forever in Schrödinger's Essos. On the other hand, I really wanted him and Addam to meet, and also for him to maybe do a bit of apologizing to Seasmoke for abandoning him, and so voilá.
(I'm also kind of not looking forward to If-You-Know-You-Know happening at the Battle of the Gullet, so in my head, this is a fix-it for that as well.)
