Me: The theory that Alys was actually leading Aemond to his death is stupid

Also me: Here’s how Mysaria was actually plotting the downfall of the Targaryen dynasty

Update: I boned Gale. He seduced me with his library. And apparently he eats pussy like there’s no tomorrow.

Genuine question for those of you who say that you want the dissolution of all states. What do you envision in place of states in terms of:

Logistics (i.e. making sure every area has the basic resources it needs in order to function and people not die for lack of water, food, fuel, medical supplies, etc.) Like not assigning these things necessarily but literally just getting them to various far-flung places.

Security (how do you prevent people from outside the area coming in and taking everything including resources, land, people, etc.) How do you prevent authoritarian groups coming in and occupying your formerly peaceful, non-hierarchical society?

Supporting people outside of affinity networks or within rigid social systems (a lot of disabled people, queer people, and other people on the social, familial, and religious outs are gonna die without some kind of appropriate systems in place to meet these needs.)

Addressing major environmental challenges that require cooperation over vast areas of land, if not global cooperation.

Rule of law, especially when it comes to human rights, freedom of movement, freedom of religion/culture, dispute resolution between governing bodies of whatever variety that doesn't involve war, etc. but also just like, basic laws governing interpersonal relationships (preventing rape, murder, theft, etc. and addressing the aftermath of those things in a humane, just way.)

Peaceful transition from states to whatever it is you imagine taking their place, without hemorrhaging lives from the most vulnerable populations.

And like, there's more that I'm sure I'd have questions about too, but these concerns are so basic that I just cannot continue the conversation without knowing what the plan is for these essential tenets of an organized society.

Don't get me wrong: I don't love states and wish we had a better system too. I am also painfully aware that states are failing many if not most of these all the time. However, what I would need to know is how what you are proposing is better than trying to improve what currently exists and isn't going to come at the cost of catastrophic loss of human life, human cultures, animal life, and land destruction. And not in a pie-in-the-sky way, a realpolitik way.

came to a realization today - so age 35 is your 12th house profection year, in hellenistic astrology. basically, annual profections are a timing technique that move as you age. your first year of life (birth year) is a first house year, where the themes of the first house and the sign on that cusp and the planet that rules that sign AND any planets in that sign are at the forefront of that year. when you turn 1 yr old, you move into your second house year, which is same thing for your second house etc. when you are 11, you're in your 12th house year, and then when you turn 12, you go back to your first house, and you just cycle around like that. (this is an EXTREMELY abridged explanation.)

so the 12th house, traditionally, is really kind of nebulous; it is in a sort of "blind spot" to the first house of self since it's right next to it and can't directly be "seen". what typically gets associated with it is self-undoing, enemies you don't know you have, the weird dark shit you refuse to look at inside of you like trauma, sometimes a sort of dark refuge from brighter things. it's called the house of ill spirit (as opposed to the house of good spirit, the 11th house). I'm actually in this profected year right now.

anyway the reason I bring all of this up is because I was talking to a friend and I mentioned how my 12th house year has been a lot of me enjoying cersei's incredibly fucked up shit thematically since we're the same age in feastdance, and then I realized that feastdance is cers and jam's 12th house year personified. and like... look I am pretty sure that's not what george intended but I'm just saying it fucking tracks, and of COURSE cersei is losing her shit and burning towers and recasting herself as robert and tywin in everything and getting the wind knocked out of her while jaime is muttering his lil madnesa mantra about lancel and the kettleblacks and moon boy for all he knows and thinking that threatening to trebuchet infants will get things done. they're just having their 12th house year and by god sometimes it do be like that
