#Let it burn to the ground

Another fun thing happening this week?

... hnnn... i bought new clothes for my children. Yeah well you know not the dollar ones anymore[They are very cute though! Don't get me wrong!]. Though those clothing sets are pretty affordable. I think I paid more for their new little shoes.

Yeah I had fun picking out new clothings for them. I love my children. What else can I do?

Pictured here are My children

Reyna [QUEEN of the Rams!] and KAI [Wolf Boy]. <3 <3 <3

They needed new clothes-es. So I bought them some cuter designed ones. Can't wait to get them. When I do, I'll make time to do a fashion show. lol.

That's a fun thing I did this month. I'm starting out the year having fun, even though the world is truly burning down. *shrugs*

Seeing Tails so small again in generations has them questioning how they survived those big ol' eyes

FUUUUUUUUUUUCK

DON'T TELL ME EKKO IS GOING TO STOP JINX FROM KILLING HERSELF FOR REAL THIS TIME

[light-glue-blazed-terracotta]

i really like the idea of the winners of each season continuing to live (alone) in each world they won in..i know all of them except scar canonically die at the end but just imagine. Grian lives (alone) in the desert. Scott has the Scottage (alone). Pearl stays in her tower (she doesnt even have Tilly). Martyn has the whole Limlife server and roams around scavenging (he cant bring himself to go back to the Mean Gills base after what he did). Scar obviously lives at Trader Scar's and Cleo has a tiny janky world with the little village (at least she has villagers for company, they suppose. It's better than nothing.)

And now Joel lives in his car next to a burnt and crumbling barn, alone.

What is it with this Targaryens are blood supremacists bullshit?

Let’s make some things clear right now:

1. Targaryen blood is superior. It’s not some sort of twisted Nazi belief, like some people make it out to be. It’s actual fact.

Sue the Targaryens for constantly pointing that out and lacking modesty. It doesn’t make it less true.

Their blood gives them godly features and the ability to ride dragons. The hypocrisy of Andals never ceases to amaze me: they have a tendency to complain about how Targaryens have ‘queer customs’ but what actually bothers them is that they choose to keep their ‘superior blood’ within their family and not share it with others. Andals criticize Targaryens for being different and yet trample over one another for a chance to marry into their family so that their offspring would have godly features and ride dragons. If Targaryens are so “bad”, then why don’t Andals keep to themselves too?

2. When did it become an actual problem to want to stick to your own kind?

Valyrians are not originally from Westeros. Their home was destroyed. They found another home, of people who constantly judge them and look at them differently despite hundreds of years after conquest.

Despite the many flaws in the show, there is something that actually stuck with me: when Daemon said, “Valyria is gone. We don’t belong anywhere.”

This actually broke my heart a little and got me thinking: how many Targaryens actually felt like strangers in their own home despite having been born and raised there?

I mean, Andals constantly treat them differently and yet blame them for wanting to stick to their own Valyrian kind (Targaryens, Velaryons and Celtigars).

The Conquest in itself is no excuse. The Kingdoms were divided and at constant war with one another, which destroyed the smallfolk. The Targaryens took away their individual powers, united the Kingdoms and gave the people a better chance at peace. The Andals are pissed because they lost their autonomy? Well, considering what they used that autonomy for, they shouldn’t have had it in the first place.

I applaud the Targaryens for taking charge and conquering Westeros for a better future. I mean, do you honestly believe that they would have been accepted in Westeros if they hadn’t? That they would have showed up with their dragons, asked to be a part of the Andals’ world and they would have been accepted with hugs and kisses? Don’t make me laugh. They would have never survived if the Andals kept control of Westeros.

And do keep in mind that if their intentions were actually bad, the Targaryens would have turned Westeros into the new Valyria. They didn’t do that though, did they? They even accepted and converted to their faith.

3. Valyrians are actually attracted to their own kind. So what? It’s their custom and nature. It’s the one thing they asked for. The only exception. To be able to keep their traditions of marrying within their family, not only in order to keep their blood pure for the purpose of controlling dragons, but also because they feel comfortable with one another. They connect with one another. They don’t want to lose ties with their true home, with their history, language, culture etc.

Andals will never be able to understand Valyrians. It’s called having a connection with someone. It can be both physical and emotional (like it was with Daemon and Rhaenyra). Why is that such a crime?

Targaryens are constantly criticized for wanting to stick to their own kind, yet the Andals have been treating them like strangers for hundreds of years simply because they are different.

Who is the blood supremacist here?

Who are the ones who constantly discriminate and create the division lines? Answer: the Andals.

Cant stop thinking about how apparently Season 7 is going to be Ezran’s season and the slow and steady build up to a breaking point for him.

Ezran is in a weird delicate balance, walking across the tightrope of being a child and being a king. We see both sides equally, we see Ezran’s barely clinging childlike mannerisms and we also see him command and lead both with love and with force.

And he is equally regarded in this manner by the people around him, some addressing him more as a child then king and others more king then child.

“Who is this child?” “Such childish dreams.” “You deserve time to do kid things” “the whining child king.” vs “He is a King!” “Because you know-you’re the King.” “That is what King Ezran decided.” “I serve the true King.”

That is already a lot to try and balance, his wants versus his duty as a king but now that balance is being tested.

The weight of everything is starting to crash down. His stressful rule as a king in a time of insurrection and war, his own people pushing back against his ideals and attempts at progress, his citizens and home decimated by a dragon, his father’s murderer being freed by his own brother, and now the releasing of an ancient evil.

No one told him his father was dead, too worried to tell a child horrible news, and no one had told him the plan to bring Runaan back, hardly giving him a second thought.

The more I think about it the more my brain drifts to this section from the season 2 novelization:

“No. No, no no!!” Ezran shouted. He didn’t care if he sounded like a two-year old.

“Ezran. It’s going to be okay,” Rayla started to say.

That was about the dumbest thing anyone could possibly say, Ezran thought. Nothing was ever going to be okay again.

Just the moment Ezran fully reverts to being a small kid again, when he stops caring that he is acting like a child because he is a child because he is mad because its all hitting him at once and it isn’t fair.

I want to see how he takes it all

i really really wish a journalist had the balls to ask horner or marko why they're treating him like this. just one person to put them on camera and go "what could have possibly happened for you to treat one the most successful drivers you've had this way" and no one will and it's fucking unfair.

[astrangertomykin]

I truly honestly understand what the hell Ashton was thinking in that moment and cannot find myself to be mad at them. When you spend your life in pain already, there is no threat or fear of more. It's all the same, really. Especially when this way you could use it to help the people you love and, finally, make that pain worthwhile.

Ever considered stuying mycology as a job in the future or is your interest in mushrooms more of "only a hobby" kinda deal?

I really want to do some type of scientific research, but studying fungi and fungal-related organisms is my dream job lol. I’ve wanted to be a mycologist for a while now, but honestly any sort of biology or even chemistry job would be amazing.

Unfortunately, my parents don’t think I can become a mycologist. They say that I’m smart and have a bright future, but that my interest in fungi is useless. They want me to use my ✨big brain✨ to become a doctor instead. I’ll make more money that way, yeah, but I don’t think I’ll be very happy lol.

I just wanna look at lichen all day is that so much to ask 😭

I've seen people on here praising Scrivener for a tweet they made that seemed critical of NaNoWriMo without realizing that they also made an official statement coming out fully in support of NaNo and dismissing any of the other concerns about the org.

They are responding to emails about this by belittling concerns about the org and reiterating that they believe what interim direction Kilby Blades is telling them and prioritize the longevity of the org over writers and NaNo participants, despite admitting they don't expect NaNoWriMo to last out the year.

Love how when MLs pointed out that Kilby was the only staff left, she called that "spreading misinformation" but now that's it's convenient to her to play "poor widdle unpaid volwunteer 'dats all awone" she admits it to play on sponsor's sympathy.

This really sums it up...

(and, of course, they ARE aware because people have been in talks with them about it for over a year so it's absolutely the second thing)

I've seen a lot of people spreading that earlier tweet when they seemed in opposition so I hope people will help spread the word about their official stance.

I MISS THE RAGE

Remember how last year we all were saying Christian was the dad who stepped up for Max and appreciated him the way he deserved…

Yeah we were wrong about that, apparently.

I really, really wish you could recruit Seteth in a Crimson Flowers route-

Like. At the point where you spare him, when the writing on the wall is clear, he strikes a deal (assuming Flayn is still alive) that he'll fight by your side as long as you let Flayn get as far away as possible from the fighting. (Maybe even have 'sparing Claude' as a requirement, you call on his favour to send her to Almyra under the protection of their prince.)

Meanwhile Seteth has the ulterior motive of trying to negotiate a terms of surrender for Rhea... Only to slowly come to terms with the fact that, in Crimson Flowers, his sister has Absolutely Lost It(tm), and won't take any 'surrender' short of tearing out Byleth's heart, and El's head-

Give him some unique, CF only varients on his Supports, let someone who genuinely cares for Rhea side against her and challenge El's stances, let him call out Hubie on not standing up to El and just quietly cleaning up after her from the shadows (in a way that is definitely not him projecting as he watches his sister go insane to a degree that seals her own fate from him similarly not challenging her as much as he should've), give him an angsty ass unique interaction where he pleads with Rhea to see that she can't win against El and Byleth, but she can survive, but she doesn't even care about her own survival at this point she just wants those two dead-

I just think it would be neat.
