Pericles, by William Shakespeare

Pericles, Prince of Tyre, better known as just Pericles, is a play by Willian Shakespeare (and possibly co-authored by George Wilkins) which was first printed in 1609. Wilkins published in 1608 The Painful Adventures of Pericles Prince of Tyre which is the prose version of the story, but goes a little different in some aspects. 

The play was based on the (fictional) story of Apollonius of Tyre, which was a widely popular during the Middle Ages all around Europe, being translated and adapted into many languages. It was translated to English as early as the 11th century, but the most diffused version was the one by John Gower in his Confessio Amantis of 1390. Therefore, it isn’t such a surprise that Shakespeare decided to turn this tale into a play.

The plot is kickstarted when the hero of the story is given a riddle by King Antiochus of Antioch in order to win Antiochus’ daughter’s hand in marriage. If the hero can’t answer the riddle correctly, he is to be killed. However, the situation is a tricky one: if the hero tells the answer to the riddle, he will also be killed, since the riddle if about Antiochus incestuous relationship with his daughter and Antiochus doesn’t want anyone knowing.

I’m taking the text from Internet Shakespeare Editions, which disponibilizes the original version of the play, as well as a modern spelling of it (I’ll be quoting only the modern spelling, for easier understanding). As a supplementary material, the site also has Wilkins’ The Painful Adventures of Pericles Prince of Tyre.

For the Apollonius version of the story, please check my post Historia Apollonii regis Tyri.

Pericles, Prince of Tyre, by William Shakespeare

Shakespeare’s play begins with a chorus, as is traditional of Greek plays, that explains the background of the characters. The chorus introduces King Antiochus, the greatest King in all of Syria, who ruled over a beautiful city. His wife had died, leaving him with only a daughter, who is described as “so buxom, blithe, and full of face, as heaven had lent her all his grace”. When the daughter came of age to be married, Antiochus seduced her. The chorus says that Antiochus ‘provoked her to incest’, which I’m interpreting as he courted her and she corresponded his feelings. I’m highlighting this because in some versions of the story it’s said that the King raped his daughter, but it doesn’t seems to be case in Shakespeare’s Pericles.

Chorus: “With whom the father liking took, And her to incest did provoke. Bad child; worse father! to entice his own To evil should be done by none.”

Since the Princess was beautiful, many foreign princes wanted to marry her and, to not arise suspicion of the incestuous relationship the Princess shared with her father, Antiochus decided to allow her to marry. With one condition: she would only marry the one who managed to solve the riddle he proposed. Those who couldn’t give the right answer to the riddle would be killed.

Pericles arrives to take the challenge and Antiochus introduces him to his daughter.

Antiochus: “Nature this dowry gave, to glad her presence, The senate house of planets all did sit, To knit in her their best perfections.”

Antiochus presents Pericles with the riddle, and the Princess wishes him luck (which are her only lines in the whole play). The riddle goes as this:

“I am no viper, yet I feed On mother’s flesh which did me breed. I sought a husband, in which labour I found that kindness in a father: He’s father, son, and husband mild; I mother, wife, and yet his child. How they may be, and yet in two, As you will live resolve it you.”

Pericles quickly understands that the riddle is regarding the King and Princess incestuous relationship and is shocked by it. He loses his interested in marrying the Princess after discovering she has committed the sin of incest. Antiochus presses Pericles to give an answer, but he doesn’t want to, because he thinks that revealing the incestuous relationship might enrage Antiochus and result in the King killing him anyway. As such, Pericles lets Antiochus know that he figured it out without actually making the accusation of incest. Antiochus decides to give Pericles forty days to think about it.

Pericles decides to flee back to Tyre all in his attempt of avoid Antiochus’ rage, but Antiochus sends an assassin after him. And this is the last the see of Antiochus and his daughter for the rest of the play. In Act III, they are mentioned to have died and in the epilogue of Act V, their deaths are said to be the punishment for their actions:

Chorus: “In Antiochus and his daughter you have heard Of monstrous lust the due and just reward.”

As for Pericles, when he arrives in Tyre, he tells what happened to Helicanus, who advises Pericles to leave once more to avoid being hunted down. As he flees, his ship gets wrecked by a storm and he washes up in Pentapolis, where the kingdom is celebration the birthday of Thaisa, daughter of King Simonides. Pericles decides to win her hand in marriage during a jousting contest. Indeed, Pericles wins and the two marry. They stay in Pentapolis until Pericles learns of Antiochus' death and deems it's safe to go home with Thaisa.

While at sea, Thaisa seemingly dies giving birth to a daughter, named Marina. Pressured by the crew, Pericles allows Thaisa’s sealed coffin to be cast overboard and decides to go to Tarsus, where he leaves Marina in the care of his friends, Cleon and Dionyza, and goes back to rule in Tyre.

However, Thaisa hadn't died, and her coffin is found by a doctor, who heals her. Believing that there had been a shipwreck, Thaisa assumed Pericles and Marina to be dead and so becomes a priestess of Diana.

Fifteen years go by and Dionyza becomes jealous of Marina's beauty, and so decides to murder her. Before Marina can be killed, she is kidnapped by pirates and taken to a brothel, where luckily she manages to persuade every man to not violate her.

Pericles decides to go back to Tarsus to see his daughter, but is shown her grave. Distraught, he decides to abandon his duty as a ruler and sail aimlessly. Eventually, he arrives in Mytilene, where Marina works, now not as a prostitute, but as a musician and entertainer.

A friend of Pericles, to cheer him up from his depression, hires Marina to play for them. Marina and Pericles each share theirs laments and realise they are father and daughter. For further rejoice, the goddess Diana then tells Pericles that Thaisa still lives. The whole family reunite and go back to Tyre, where Pericles returns to the throne.

Painful Adventures of Pericles Prince of Tyre, by George Wilkins

Like I mentioned in the introduction, Shakespeare’s possible collaborator in the play, George Wilkins, published his own prose version of the tale of Pericles. I wasn’t initially planning on reading this, but changed my mind when I discovered that, in Wilkins’ text, Antiochus is explicitly said to have abused his daughter.  The Princess kept silence, unable to tell anyone what happened in shame.

“Antiochus the Great, who was the first founder of Antioch, the most famous city in all Syria, having one only daughter in the prime and glory of her youth, fell in most unnatural love with her. And what by the power of his persuasions and fear of his tyranny, he so prevailed with her yielding heart that he became master of his desires.”

I did a double take when I read this. Had I been wrong in interpreting Shakespeare’s text? Had I read it with rose-tinted glasses, trying so hard to have a consensual father/daughter relationship that I had ignored the signs of abuse? Well, no. Or, if I did, I’m not alone, as Bicks (2021) agrees with me:

“[…] yet none of the play’s quartos, from the 1609 Q1 forward, includes even a hint of Wilkins’s excruciating account of the rape. Rather, they dismiss the daughter from the start as a girl who is complicit in her father’s incestuous lust.”

(Bicks then goes on to say this is an erasure of the Princess story and blah blah blah, but I don’t care for that. I care that Shakespeare’s version has the Antiochus relationship with his daughter as being consensual).

Later, Antiochus and his daughter are revealed to have been killed by lightening (the means of death are not described in the play), which one can suppose was the divine punishment inflicted by Jove (a.k.a. Jupiter or Zeus).

Conclusion

After looking at many versions of the Pericles/Apollonius story, it becomes clear that what was originally a sexual assault was re-worked by Shakespeare into being a consensual relationship. Was it to make the characters more palatable to the audience? Doubtful. Antiochus is the antagonist of the play, having him rape his daughter would fit with his villainous status. Regardless on whether the Princess is being raped by her father or is in love with him, the other characters (and the audience of the time) would find them despicable. Besides, other Shakespearean plays include rape, so it’s clear that the author doesn’t shy away from the topic. Was it, like Bicks suggested, an erasure of the Princess voice? I also don’t think so. 

I prefer to think that Shakespeare read Apollonius and thought that there didn’t need to any rape in that relationship, that the father and daughter could very well be engaging in a consensual relationship and ran with the idea. The effect is the same, in at least Shakespeare doesn’t victimizes the Princess by having her be violently raped and told in details like the others authors had previously done.

37. Contested Will, by James Shapiro

Owned: No, library Page count: 316 My summary: The Shakespeare authorship question, as told by someone who doesn’t believe in it. Did Shakespeare write Shakespeare? (Yes.) Or were his plays written by someone else, like Francis Bacon and the Earl of Oxford? (No.) Find out the thrilling answer! (It was Shakespeare.) My rating: 5/5 My commentary:

Ah, the Shakespeare authorship question. One that can be answered very simply. Did William Shakespeare write all the plays attributed to William Shakespeare? Yes. Yes, he did. He did do that. Despite its ridiculousness, I've long been fascinated by the Shakespeare authorship question and exactly how it came about. After all, we've got no evidence that anyone doubted that Shakespeare wrote his plays at the time; it's only a few hundred years later that people began to doubt. And their evidence for that is...scant. Basically, the argument boils down to this - how could Willian Shakespeare, a glover's son from Stratford who was not university educated, write these plays that are obviously such proof of divine genius? How could he have knowledge of far-off locales, the workings of high society, falconry, history? Basically, in the immortal words of Kyle Kalgren, how can art if not posh?

The answer to this is obvious, of course. William Shakespeare was a writer, and came up with these ideas out of his imagination. Or he was adapting older, pre-existing stories. This talk of Shakespeare having intricate knowledge of subjects outside a glover's son's remit is muddied by his mistakes - he seemed to think clocks existed in Ancient Rome, Bohemia has a coastline, and gunpowder existed in Ancient Greece. Add that to the fact that Shakespeare worked in noble houses and had access to books about other places and experiences, and you explain how he could namedrop such details. That, and the fact that he was educated - not university educated, but there was a free grammar school in Stratford that would have taught the young Shakespeare Greek and Latin. Part of this misconception, of course, is our fault. As modern readers, we have a habit of mythologising Shakespeare's plays, to the point where we assume everything he wrote was a Work Of Pure Genius. And that then leads to the idea that only someone of noble blood could have possibly written such a work, with proponents of the idea bending over backwards to justify how a particular nobleman, usually Francis Bacon or Edward de Vere, could have written all of the plays. Despite, in de Vere's case, having died before Shakespeare stopped writing.

Anyway, this book is a great overview of the 'anti-Stratfordian' movement, and the motives behind it. People just really wanna read conspiracy into everything, huh. The most ludicrous of the claims is that de Vere, as well as writing from beyond the grave, was the bastard child of the Queen who then fathered another bastard child, who was the real Prince Tudor who could have carried on the lineage. Which is of course simpler than 'some guy wrote some plays that people decided were good'. The why of this conspiracy is really what I was interested in, and this book certainly delivers. Shapiro delivers a pretty fair look at the concept, not shying away from debunking the claims of the movement, but also delving into what those claims actually are, as well as laying out a compelling case that Shakespeare did, in fact, write the works of William Shakespeare. It's certainly satisfied my itch for this particular conspiracy theory! I'd definitely recommend it to anyone interested.

Next up - come on grab your friends, again!

Did Harry inherit more than William?

Yes and no. When the LA Dodgers Hawaiian Shirt With Team Logo died back in 2002 she left more money to Harry, knowing that William would eventually become Prince and inherit the Duchy of Cornwall, a private estate valued at over $1 billion.

Which is exactly what happened when Los Angeles Dodgers Funny Hawaiian Shirt For Family LA Dodgers Hawaiian Shirt passed away in 2022. So overall, Willian inherited quite a bit more than Harry.

But this $1 billion estate is nothing compared to the $10 billion that King Charles received tax free, thanks to a clever investment by the Queen into one of the world’s most exclusive asset classes … fine art.

The Royal family has been investing a portion of their fortune into art for centuries …

But the Royals are far from the only billionaires who have invested a significant chunk of their fortunes in this emerging asset class.

Billionaires like David Geffen, Los Angeles Dodgers Coconut Tree MLB Hawaiian Shirt LA Dodgers Hawaiian Shirt, and Bill Gates are all avid art collectors.

The recently-named “richest man in the world,” Berard Arnault, who is the CEO of luxury-goods conglomerate LVMH, has an extensive collection of art.

Plus, there’s a long list of celebrities like Jay-Z, Oprah Winfrey, Steven Spielberg, Jack Nicholson, Madonna, and Ellen Degeneres who have invested millions into art.

The only problem is, regular investors have always been locked out of this asset class because it usually takes millions of dollars to purchase just one iconic piece.

Until now. Investing in Baby Yoda Los Angeles Dodgers Hawaiian Shirt LA Dodgers Hawaiian Shirt just got easier, thanks to a revolutionary new investment platform called Masterworks.

Masterworks provides a simple, secure way for anyone to invest in shares of paintings from famous artists like Picasso, Banksy and Basquiat.

Which is great, because contemporary art prices have outpaced the S&P 500 by 131% since 1995 … and real estate and gold by more than three to one over the same period.

Even better, art acts as a great hedge during periods of high inflation and market volatility.

Which is why Los Angeles Dodgers Mickey Mouse Tropical Dodgers Hawaiian Shirt LA Dodgers Hawaiian Shirt, Larry Fink, who manages nearly $10 trillion in assets, recently called art “the new gold” because of its remarkable ability to “preserve wealth”

These are just a few reasons why billionaires like Larry Fink, Jeff Bezos, and Oprah Winfrey are pouring hundreds of millions into this asset class.

CRITIQUE PAPER

ROMEO AND JULIET

By

Willian shakespear

Characterization

Romeo

The son and heir of Montague and Lady Montague. A young man of about sixteen, Romeo is handsome, intelligent, and sensitive. Though impulsive and immature, his idealism and passion make him an extremely likable character. He lives in the middle of a violent feud between his family and the Capulets, but he is not at all interested in violence. His only interest is love. At the beginning of the play he is madly in love with a woman named Rosaline, but the instant he lays eyes on Juliet, he falls in love with her and forgets Rosaline. Thus, Shakespeare gives us every reason to question how real Romeo’s new love is, but Romeo goes to extremes to prove the seriousness of his feelings. He secretly marries Juliet, the daughter of his father’s worst enemy; he happily takes abuse from Tybalt; and he would rather die than live without his beloved. Romeo is also an affectionate and devoted friend to his relatives Benvolio, Mercutio, and Friar Lawrence.

Juliet

The daughter of Capulet and Lady Capulet. A beautiful thirteen-year-old girl, Juliet begins the play as a naïve child who has thought little about love and marriage, but she grows up quickly upon falling in love with Romeo, the son of her family’s great enemy. Because she is a girl in an aristocratic family, she has none of the freedom Romeo has to roam around the city, climb over walls in the middle of the night, or get into sword fights. Nevertheless, she shows amazing courage in trusting her entire life and future to Romeo, even refusing to believe the worst reports about him after he gets involved in a fight with her cousin. Juliet’s closest friend and confidant is her nurse, though she’s willing to shut the Nurse out of her life the moment the Nurse turns against Romeo.

Friar Lawrence

A Franciscan friar, friend to both Romeo and Juliet. Kind, civic-minded, a proponent of moderation, and always ready with a plan, Friar Lawrence secretly marries the impassioned lovers in hopes that the union might eventually bring peace to Verona. As well as being a Catholic holy man, Friar Lawrence is also an expert in the use of seemingly mystical potions and herbs.

Mercutio

A kinsman to the Prince, and Romeo’s close friend. One of the most extraordinary characters in all of Shakespeare’s plays, Mercutio overflows with imagination, wit, and, at times, a strange, biting satire and brooding fervor. Mercutio loves wordplay, especially sexual double entendres. He can be quite hotheaded, and hates people who are affected, pretentious, or obsessed with the latest fashions. He finds Romeo’s romanticized ideas about love tiresome and tries to convince Romeo to view love as a simple matter of sexual appetite.

The Nurse

Juliet’s nurse, the woman who breast-fed Juliet when she was a baby and has cared for Juliet her entire life. A vulgar, long-winded, and sentimental character, the Nurse provides comic relief with her frequently inappropriate remarks and speeches. But, until a disagreement near the play’s end, the Nurse is Juliet’s faithful confidante and loyal intermediary in Juliet’s affair with Romeo. She provides a contrast with Juliet, given that her view of love is earthy and sexual, whereas Juliet is idealistic and intense. The Nurse believes in love and wants Juliet to have a nice-looking husband, but the idea that Juliet would want to sacrifice herself for love is incomprehensible to her.

The Chorus

The Chorus is a single character who, as developed in Greek drama, functions as a narrator offering commentary on the play’s plot and themes.

Rosaline

The woman with whom Romeo is infatuated at the beginning of the play. Rosaline never appears onstage, but it is said by other characters that she is very beautiful and has sworn to live a life of chastity.

Peter

A Capulet servant who invites guests to Capulet’s feast and escorts the Nurse to meet with Romeo. He is illiterate, and a bad singer.

The Apothecary

An apothecary in Mantua. Had he been wealthier, he might have been able to afford to value his morals more than money, and refused to sell poison to Romeo.

Abram

Montague’s servant, who fights with Sampson and Gregory in the first scene of the play.

Sampson & Gregory

Two servants of the house of Capulet, who, like their master, hate the Montagues. At the outset of the play, they successfully provoke some Montague men into a fight.

Balthasar

Romeo’s dedicated servant, who brings Romeo the news of Juliet’s death, unaware that her death is a ruse.

Friar John

A Franciscan friar charged by Friar Lawrence with taking the news of Juliet’s false death to Romeo in Mantua. Friar John is held up in a quarantined house, and the message never reaches Romeo.

Prince Escalus

The Prince of Verona. A kinsman of Mercutio and Paris. As the seat of political power in Verona, he is concerned about maintaining the public peace at all costs.

Paris

A kinsman of the Prince, and the suitor of Juliet most preferred by Capulet. Once Capulet has promised him he can marry Juliet, he behaves very presumptuously toward her, acting as if they are already married.

Lady Montague

Romeo’s mother, Montague’s wife. She dies of grief after Romeo is exiled from Verona.

Montague

Romeo’s father, the patriarch of the Montague clan and bitter enemy of Capulet. At the beginning of the play, he is chiefly concerned about Romeo’s melancholy.

Lady Capulet

Juliet’s mother, Capulet’s wife. A woman who herself married young (by her own estimation she gave birth to Juliet at close to the age of fourteen), she is eager to see her daughter marry Paris. She is an ineffectual mother, relying on the Nurse for moral and pragmatic support.

Capulet

The patriarch of the Capulet family, father of Juliet, husband of Lady Capulet, and enemy, for unexplained reasons, of Montague. He truly loves his daughter, though he is not well acquainted with Juliet’s thoughts or feelings, and seems to think that what is best for her is a “good” match with Paris. Often prudent, he commands respect and propriety, but he is liable to fly into a rage when either is lacking.

Benvolio

Montague’s nephew, Romeo’s cousin and thoughtful friend. Benvolio makes a genuine effort to defuse violent scenes in public places, though Mercutio accuses him of having a nasty temper in private. He spends most of the play trying to help Romeo get his mind off Rosaline, even after Romeo has fallen in love with Juliet.

Tybalt

A Capulet, Juliet’s cousin on her mother’s side. Vain, fashionable, supremely aware of courtesy and the lack of it, he becomes aggressive, violent, and quick to draw his sword when he feels his pride has been injured. Once drawn, his sword is something to be feared. He loathes Montagues.

Summary:

Romeo and Juliet is the story of two persons who love each other but their family did not agree with their love. There are war between capulet and montague families and they have had another fight The Prince, who keeps the peace in Verona, says that if there are any further fights the head of the houses will be killed. the story start with Romeo and Juliet meet at the party they kiss each other romeo shouldn't be there Juliet's cousin Tybalt sees him and decides to get revenge for the insult. Romeo sneaks into the capsule they confess their feelings to each other and they decide to get married soon and when the time comes Romeo and Juliet get married in secret with the help of Juliet's nurse and Friar Laurence. There is another fight in Verona Tybalt's killed Romeo friend Mercutio. Romeo tried to stop the fight but, after Mercutio's death, he kills Tybalt. The prince banish romeo because of what he has done Juliet discover the news of tybalt's death and Romeo being banished Lord Capulet tells Juliet she must marry a man called Paris, not knowing she is already married. Friar Laurence gives Juliet a potion that will make her appear dead so she does not have to marry again. He sends Romeo a note to explain the plan and Juliet takes the potion. Her body is moved to the family tomb. Romeo did not received any note from friar laurence he thinks the juliet really dead he buy some potion and goes back to verona. Romeo goes to the tomb and he sees Juliet. He realizes he can't live without Juliet. He takes the poison and dies next to her. Juliet wakes up and sees Romeo dead. She then kills herself with Romeo’s dagger.

Moral lesson

The moral lesson of "Romeo and Juliet" lies in the exploration of the dangers of unbridled passion, the destructive power of prejudice and feuding, and the need for wise guidance and communication. It serves as a cautionary tale against impulsive decision-making and the consequences of acting solely on emotions without considering the broader implications. Love is the most powerful thing in the world. don't let emotion,anger and hatred control you.

Someone needs to speak up against this nonsense. M and H pr machine is out of control. For his wife and children I hope that Willian puts some of these rumors to rest…especially about Princess Charlotte. That particular story infuriates me.

[outerspace-castaway]

"GoHomeMeghanMarkle" is trending right now on twitter and its beyond gross how the british people (and some american conservatives) treat her.

they're mad she's there but if she stayed home they'd say she was being disrespectful to the queen and royal family.

saying they royals dont want her there, like did you personally talk to charles, william & kate? i dont think so.

oh and im pretty sure harry wants his wife by his side

bringing up meghan's dad as if he didnt publicly humiliate her, calling her attention seeking, calling her a gold digger...

what the ever living fuck is wrong with these people?

they just use meghan as a punching bag, they dont see her as a person. they're so vile.

PSYCHOTIC BEHAVIOR

and yes that last person did just blame meghan for queen elizabeth's death as if she wasnt 96 years old!

this is NOT an anti-royals post btw

[jerseydeanne]

[almostthre]

I’m back. So I’ve been thinking and first I need to develop this beyond “rich people being obnoxious and gay bitches fucking on the dl” so let’s do that folks!

For starters the inciting incident being Aegon’s leaked sex tape. The main reason why this would be so important in this scenario is because the Green side of the family is obviously the rich evangelical type, they’re already that within their own universe so for me that is the most natural translation. Also Aegon’s self destructive tendencies are more hidden, by bribing the media and whatnot, so this would be his first scandal to the general public. So imagine if you’re scrolling through twitter and suddenly you see the son of some powerful billionaire getting dicked down, especially when you know his family is all about the “nuclear family”.

Now I wanted to mention some of the basic structures I think should be included. Rhaenyra is my Shiv Roy, she’s a girl boss(derogatory), she does interviews about how she can have it all, in some ways she is my prince Willian, had this controversial teenage and young adult live but now is a family woman, but also because she’s a woman she needs to truly be perfect. This bleeds a little in her kids, specially Jace, but it’s not on purpose, it’s something he naturally picked up from her.

Alicent is a #tradwife but actually she’s been running her husband’s business since he got ill, she’s a classical trapped woman, clearly having plans and aspirations that were undermined by her father’s ambition. For obvious reasons she and Vissy(I refuse to respect that man) got married when she was around 19 or 20, and had all their kids quickly after, whom then proceed to be ignored by their father. It’s important to add that she’s a mixture of book and show alicent, she’s ambitious of her own but does have a genuine love for Rhaenyra(read love that turned into a need to trash talk her constantly), I also believe she developed some affection for Vissy, does he deserve it? No, but she’s a better person than me so yeah.

Now to their dynamic: passive aggressive mothers, “look my kid is the captain of the football team” “that’s so great, mine is the captain of two different teams” type of deal. However I like to think that Alicent is much more invested in that than Rhaenyra, she still instigates her, but Ali feels like she needs to prove something while Rhae, at least on the outside, seems to have naturally even with her scandals. A functional and loving family.

This has been a short update, however I’m procrastinating writing thanks to my fear of failure. Next time I hope to bring an actual passage of the fic

O K A Y.

So in the beginning of the year I decided that I needed to write again, mainly so I can empty my head a little, however I’ve been thinking about jacegon so much, there’s not enough fics of them, and then it occurred to me that I could fix that problem. Thus I must start writing, which is very hard you know, especially because I’m the type that just imagines things and, at most, conceptualizes them. What I’m trying to say is that I need someone to talk to about my ideas to properly develop them and since I’m not asking my friends about their opinions on this I’ll just scream at the void that is this hellhole and hope that it screams back!

Anyway, let’s start with my beloved idea that I like to call “The White Lotufication of HOTD” so basically we would be following the Targaryens as they go to this luxurious resort for a family reunion and the rest is just truly horrible! But in a fun way, like idk Vissy, as I like to call him, survived his eleventh heart attack or something so he forces everyone to go cause “life is just so precious and PLEASE my beloved family get along for once” as he always does. A few things I have already decided to include: Daemon is adopted, because I feel the need to minimize the incest since this would be a modern au, Aegon has been sober for some time, Jace has older daughter syndrome, Rheana is an influencer so the whole thing is being posted on her insta and so on.

But what really matters is the jacegon, right?

That’s why I’m here, so let’s talk about them, as mentioned Aegon is sober, or at least trying to be. Why? Because he got the family into a big scandal, I was thinking of a sex tape that leaked and the stuff in it was just nasty(please read this with the voice of an old lady for the effect). Thus Vissy(read Otto) gives him an ultimatum: get his shit together or get a job and stop living off of his trust fund and thanks to that he would be trying to keep a low profile for the first time in his life, it’s hard for him, okay? Now to his relationship with Jace in the begging of the fic. They used to be besties until Aemond lost his eye and the family split in two. Since then he’s had no one so in some ways he resents Jace, since once he was out of Aegon’s live he realized that he was alone while Jace still had Luke and the others by his side, also Jace is the perfect son, he doesn’t bring shame to the Targaryen family which fuels Aegon’s insecurities and this beautiful cycle where he wishes to be close to his nephew again but eventually just pushes him further forms at some point.

Now for my boy, Jace! He’s the oldest daughter, he can never fail or disappoint, he must be perfect or he’s nothing at all so needless to say he’s got some issues. I think his feelings for Aegon started when he was just a boy with a crush on his pretty uncle, but as he grew he couldn’t help but desire for more,however he feels as if they could never be together since Aegon is still a piece of shit that pushes Jace away, don’t get me wrong Jace is very much in love but his uncle is an undeniable asshole that treats him like shit and as I mentioned incest wouldn’t be as accepted in this scenario, so those two getting together would be a scandal, and, as mentioned before, Jace cannot have that, he must be perfect. In some ways he would remind me of Henry from “Red White and Royal Blue” in this scenario, hiding his true self behind the perfect persona.

As for why this would be “the white lotusfication of hoft”

1. There will be death, but not of a major character, this is a comedy;

2. These people are all clinically insane;

3. I find that writing about the extremely wealthy without sprinkles of my hatred for them thrown around to be impossible;

4. Idk I just think it would be cool okay

Anyways if you’re part of the void I beg you to talk to me
