I love and adore Alicent Hightower but baby, “My son has lost an eye…Over an insult? 🥺🥺”

sweetie you have been trying to leverage one of your culture’s greatest, most shameful taboos with anyone who will listen to get your ex crush/bff and her (v likely illegitimate tbf) sons disinherited for nearly ten years??

Now all of a sudden questioning someone’s legitimacy is nbd? Just ‘an insult’? Really? You’ve just been in a silly goofy mood for ten years? Bit of harmless name-calling was it?

Obviously a kids’ fight should never have escalated to someone losing an eye, because the children had no business being party to whatever political nonsense/family drama was going on. But the boys coming to blows over this was fairly predictable, especially as they got older. Babe, you actively chose to alienate your sons from their nephews in that way when you live in a culture where duels to the literal death over offended honour is a thing??? Where trial-by-combat is a 100% legit legal tactic?

Driftmark witnessed some truly audacious attempts at gaslighting that night but ALICENT REALLY

tl;dr Alicent lit the fuse on the Hightower v Velaryon/Strong kids conflict, she just didn’t intend for that particular bomb to go off so soon, or think that it would blow up in her son’s faces (much less that uh…literally)

—on the topic of psychotic Summers brothers, I only just caught up with six months of X-Men after stopping for six months the topic of Gabriel referring to the tags of my last X-Men post a month ago — but I was happy to see Scott's torture-induced psychosis didn't (definitively) turn out just to be that he'd calculated what others hadn't. Yes, the woman he'd accurately calculated would save him was Dr. Gregor, not Jean, but that doesn't change that he remained unsure if Jean was real (and thought she was alive) while the all-seeing Enigma knew on the contrary that Scott was delusional because Phoenix thus equally (an equivocation which casts further doubt of Scott's fiery visions ever being genuine, as Jean's dying mind had departed Scott well before Mother Righteous sacrificed Jean's dead fragmented self for Dominion, before Scott was tortured) Jean — were so utterly dead that Rachel and Hope had to cancel out death to reverse it. Yet Scott, hyper-vigilant traumatized autistic brain-damaged neurodivergent soldier that he is, seemingly accomplished all these strategic calculations while having a psychotic “break,” which is extremely in character for him—

B trying not to have a mental breakdown when he meets L, who immediately laches onto him and treats him like an older sibling. Like L gets very attached to people very fast if they're kind to him. and. B isn't at all at first tbh he's too busy dry heaving but the fact that he takes up for L despite clearly finding his presence scary and disdainful? (THATS A FUCKING ZOMBIE BOY!!!!! That's the resurrected corpse of the person your abuser has spent years comparing you to. And it's hugging you and calling you big brother.)

B knows no one else will bother with L, so. He Does. And that's More Thn Enough. L's memories of V are completely fucking shot to hell when he first comes back from the grave, so having an older brother feels Right and True and L cannot be convinced its not the dude that literally looks exactly like him.

V isn't around for this. Bc if he was he'd be um... Mad.

@entitytcken said: this isn’t what i had in mind. {roleswap!Security Puppet/Spencer Peyton and Steven/Phone Guy 😌}

It isn't what most people had had in mind when Phone Guy's "utility updates" had been announced-- himself included. He hardly seems qualified to assist the security guard when his only real safety feature is knowing how to call 911, but it hasn't gone unnoticed that he's the only animatronic on the premises capable of interacting with adults without hostility. As long as that remains the case, he's the only non-human that management trusts to correctly implement the criminal recognition system, and they've handed him off to Peyton for training in what to do if he does happen to see anything suspicious.

...could they have simply coded in the proper protocols for handling potential threats? Of course. But it has been deemed safer (and cheaper) to rely on human expertise over the same programming that's been going haywire in the other machines.

He's not entirely sure how to respond to Spencer's comment, so he doesn't. ...not one to stay silent for long, however, Phone Guy continues on as though the guard hadn't said anything at all.

"So, it looks like it's going to be you and me, huh? That's great!" As overly animated as ever, the animatronic flashes a cheerful thumbs-up.

"This will be a piece of cake!"

FORMER BAKKERS

“Trin: I think grandma's heart would break if she saw how quickly her successors went through the family's supplies and tore up contracts and agreements with other clans. And the idea to join Snake Nation? We might as well have asked Raffen Shiv to line us up on the dirt and execute us. What's the difference? That was the true end of the family. That's why I, Ossian, Lil Elam, Afshin, Persia and others decided to leave. S.W.: Do you still keep in touch? Trin: No.”

ft. (in order) Vera “V” De Soto, Ossian “Oz” Mercer, Cairo (pronounced kay-ro) Bohannon, Samara Keene, Trin Bakker, “Lil Elam” Stillwater, Afshin Madani, Persia Theler, Harlo Stroud, and Bodhi Heflin

The way people talk about the conspiracy re: Cobain's death make me so fucking sick. The entitlement to the internal life of a total stranger to them. Whenever I see it it's just the most horrific ways of discussing suicidality and abuse. Getting murdered by your spouse is one of the most severe yet common/classic examples of domestic abuse we have as a society and people think that's grounds for memes. Thinking they're Defending Men while being so fucking misogynistic about Love AND dismissive of suicidal men.

Do these people really think they're making the world easier for their fucking kid this way? Survivors of suicide attempts *and* survivors of attempted murder by their partners read this shit and I higly fucking doubt most of them feel empowered by the way people screech over what they think happened (i know I don't, re: my own experiences with suicide and domestic abuse). If he was murdered, it is NOT even the fucking way to respectfully discuss that. It's just a way to feel smug and correct. How agonizing it must be for the people who loved him to have known (or NOT known and learned in the most tragic way) how badly he was struggling, and to have that grief constantly upended by strangers who think they know your friend's life better than you did? That sounds like torture.

Nothing quite compares to the quiet devastation of realising you have ended up in the one place you always said you'd never be

[a-gay-little-cat]

Tiger has been through a lot and is going through a lot being there with v the whole time throughout the story but still he is loud and hapoy and so so so sweets, wanting to help so badly and it's not easy!! watching the person you've fallen for struggle n not being able to do anything for them...
