what appeals to you most about being a crocodile?

what a lovely ask!

there's a lot of things. for one, i've always felt a connection to water, especially deep water like the sea. some of my best memories have just been chilling in the sea for a couple hours. though i can't do that a lot, so on a more daily basis, croc behaviour. it is difficult for me to connect with others, but i really enjoy hanging out with my friends, which definitely translates to basking with them in my mind. crocs are chill and non-committed, which i resonate deeply with, except that i'd go any length for my buddies :}

I firmly believe that consuming media can and does influence behaviour, but that it usually isn't in the ways alarmists would predict. For instance, did watching Death Note inspire me to murder anyone? No. Did it directly result in me eating about five times more apples than usual for a month? Absolutely yes.

why is every single one of your aus is a way to shit on aemond and the green characters?

Not every single one of them, if you read down lower below there are some that shows him in a good light, while some doesn't show all of his character, since most of what I write only have one part, or have parts I'm still in the process of writing. It's just that the majority of stuff I wrote are Lucerys-centered, and some of the things are during war, or reaching them, or after it, or marital problems filled with other problems that makes it go beyond toxic, and during those times, those guys do heinous things, and of course Lucerys cannot read minds, so he interprets what Aemond does as a cruel slight against him. It showcase and focus on Lucerys and his emotions, the little anxious boy who overthinks and has low self-esteem, so of course Aemond wouldn't look good, because in the eyes of Lucerys, who doesn't know the mind of Aemond or his plans or his thoughts or why he's even doing it (they don't talk. They just avoid problems and this is what happens when you avoid instead of talk), Aemond doesn't like him and is doing it because he doesn't care if it hurts him, which, in turn, simply translates to us only seeing that it's hurting Lucerys. It's like listening to one side of a story, most of the time you're going to want to side with the person who shared their pov first, especially if they say why they got hurt in the first place.

Don't worry though, really, I'll try to write during happier times were Aemond can be seen as a better version of himself (I say better, not good).

The second and third aus before the divorce one, oh yes, definitely bashing. Why? Simple, I read a particular set of fanfics, read the perspectives of the greens, didn't like it (so, much, hypocrisy, specifically in Alicent's pov), and took it out in my own writing. Yes, I am very easily influenced by emotions when I write. And also because I am genuinely curious about what would happen if Rhaenyra would deal with Alicent the moment she gave birth to a boy, or if Aemma was alive and she needed to deal with snakes her home, so I wrote my own version, and hope it would inspire someone to write their own version of what could happen in those scenarios (and tell me, so I can read their version too). Those things combined lead to those AU's being created.

Also also, I don't really like the greens as much, in this case, Alicent, as she embodies the hypocritical, judgemental, super-religious righteous, extremely traditional people I have met and had the displeasure of interacting with. One may say it's not their fault for being like that because they were raised to be like that, and I agree, but in the end, they're still like that, and I can't force myself to like her when she's like that.

tbh even if i would have liked kimberly akimbo under different circumstances i fear i will always be biased against it because the first two times i ever heard of it it was through my friends hating on it. tbh

How did the model react to Roman retaliating against his parents? How did he handle that?

Circe loved it, though didn't openly show her joy when Roman fought back. The two had been having a secret relationship for years right under the noses of his parents, back when Circe was old enough to begin work as a model and Roman still a young teenager smitten with the first positive attention somebody gave him. She held Roman back from beating his parents to a bloody pulp, knowing that being convicted of murder would result in him being heavily punished by the law therefore losing Janus Comestics since his parents were still the owners of the company. It wasn't out of love or concern for Mr and Mrs. Sionis. Circe been working on wrapping Roman around her little finger for years, knowing his parents would one day replace her with a younger, fresher star once her looks began to fade. Beauty doesn't last forever and, in the world of fashion, there are always beautiful women to be found much like one would find plenty of fish in the sea. She loved the money and fame, the ease of her work in only needing to look beautiful to keep a healthy paycheck coming in. She knew it wouldn't last forever, but it could last longer perhaps, if Roman took over Janus Cosmetics and she became his partner. Circe pretended she was remorseful after the incident, that she'd end the relationship with their son once she had seen him out. Unable to bear losing their top model just yet, Mr. and Mrs. Sionis bought her lies and it was all Circe needed to enact the next stage of her plan. Roman hated his parents, she'd known for years but that night, his willingness to acquiesce to her words was the sign she needed to know he'd go to any lengths to please her and concocted a plan with him the morning after. The next night, the family home of the Sionis's burned down with his parents somehow having become trapped in the blaze. Smoke inhalation was thought to be the cause of their deaths, although their bodies had been burned too badly by the fire for pathologists to tell for certain. Circe provided Roman with an alibi and, although he had not been officially named as heir, ownership of Janus Cosmetics fell to him anyway due to being next of kin, a legal process that would be finalized by the time he was 18. Circe was very pleased with how everything had turned out, and while perhaps it happened a little sooner than she'd have liked, everything went according to plan, at least for a few more years until trouble hit Janus Cosmetics.

every day I wish I started moffat's run without looking online first and absorbing all the hate he gets bc I do not know what is my opinion that I would've came to on my own and what I've simply seen others say that stuck with me and clouded my perception going in

[seilon]

no like when I say any answer on the queerest city poll that’s not San Fran is wrong I mean it is factually and historically WRONG

[capaldiera]

man idgaf about what treville and richelieu have going on (mostly nothing) (they dont like each other but they work together a lot bc of their jobs.) (i guess treville holding onto a sense of honour whilst working with the cardinal is interesting but like that's not. thats not really those two having something interesting going on). lets talk about the king and the cardinal man.

Wondering how much I can draw on certain media before it crosses the line from "taking inspiration" to "blatant ripoff" before I realized two things

1) plenty of other properties have taken heavy-handed inspiration from others and not get in trouble for it (i.e. So Many Sci-Fi Properties and Dune)

2) I don't intend on publishing what im working on anyways so who's gonna stop me? Fuck it we ball

I love that I keep thinking about exercising today and putting it off to do fuck-all in bed instead and then ripped Mirko art appears on my dashboard

Maybe this is a sign. I gotta get up and break a sweat soon. I need to become the strong local MILF of my area since no one else seems to be taking on that title around here

I'm thinking about a yandere! secretary who's an absolutely manipulative piece of shit❤️

you hired him because his resume was impeccable and you thought he'd be a perfect fit for the empty position.

which... he is.

but the fact that he's younger than you by a decent amount and can be quite unprofessional at times does throw you off. is it something younger people like doing? is it normal to visit your employee's house with no one else around?

"hey boss, I'm thinking of inviting you over to my place tonight? just the two of us? we can drink and eat fried chicken together❤️"

"my dear, that is rather unprofessional don't you think?"

"what? no of course not. you're thinking into it too much."

it doesn't help that you're sort of a people pleaser and give into his demands easily.

you just want to see all your employees be happy! is that so wrong of you? of course not! and all your other employees (excluding your secretary) all appreciate and treat you with respect. and as you know by now, your secretary is an asshole who makes use of your easily swayed personality to get you to do... things in his favour.

but you don't know that! you just think it's because of the age gap that causes you not to understand his actions and words! surely he's not trying to love you right?

"boss~ don't you think i should meet your family? your parents? you met mine the other day didn't you? oh my parents absolutely loved you! they thought you were so sweet and-"

"w-well... that's only because you got a raise and you suggested i should inform your family about how well you were performing during work... there's no reason for you to meet my-"

"boss, be serious. do you hate me?"

"no of course not! i-"

"that's settled then! we can go and meet your family after this!"

"...yes, my dear."

with that said, he's also an excellent actor and knows how to play things to his advantage. by the time you realize what's going on, you'll already be trapped in the palm of his hand.

"my dear... i am so sorry. we shouldn't have slept together, nor gotten together. it was a severe lapse in judgement and I'm sorry that i crossed the line between personal and professionalism."

"what are you talking about darling? don't worry your silly head over all that. professionalism? who needs that? all the other employees think we look great together, and your family loves me! plus, I'm your boyfriend that you love, yes?"

"i-"

"now stop speaking about stupid things. you don't have to worry about that anymore. just listen to me. it's normal to date your secretary. it's what the younger people are doing nowadays! I'm already 26! so don't worry..."

and it's not like you can just fire him either. like i said, he does an excellent job at being your secretary. also the fact that he practically controls HR and influences them into thinking every other potential employee is subpar. so when you hold a meeting about whether to fire him everyone protests against it. but that's not important.

besides, he won't let you do that. why would you want to get rid of him? you only need him don't you? he's perfect for this job! you don't need another secretary. you don't need anyone else.

just him. only him.

and you two will be happy together as long as you listen to his words and don't try getting rid of him. after all, you might be older but times are changing! you need the hand of a younger and more knowledgeable person. he'll help you bring the company to greater heights and bring in more revenue for you!

so stop talking about how it's wrong. it's not. it's the way of the new generation! and he just.. loves you very much. way too much.
