why would I want my favorite characters to get therapy when they are infinitely more entertaining as psychosexual messes

I can only guess someone complained there wasn't enough seasoning on the food. Oh you like seasoning do you.

Ketheric was going to be recruitable???

Yep. He was intended to be a companion, here's the article: https://www.ign.com/articles/baldurs-gate-3-director-reveals-one-surprising-villain-that-used-to-be-playable

Ngl I'm just beyond disappointed that anyone in that dev team thought cutting this was a good idea. Especially when we know they went out of their way to add in a someone who wasn't put in this game as a companion and wasn't intended to be one initially, while Ketheric was, even more so because of how half baked it was. I'm baffled and gutted that this was worth keeping to them, while Ketheric, who is far more plot significant, was not.

You can still play up to getting to persuade him which was where he was meant to join you and idk why the fuck they left that in then.

I honestly wish they would stop fucking talking about what they cut now that they've abandoned the game.

just watched Tomorrowland (2015 dir. Brad Bird) and while it wasn't without its flaws the message is still pretty relevant now

Industrial Home Theatre

 My room entry for the BNS173 challenge: “Friends from College”.

Built it in an industrial style to fit the vibes of 3 young creative professionals living it up in the city.

The challenge was to build a home theatre for movie nights. But I added a bar and some pub game objects to make this room more versatile.

"Salt courses through Velaryon blood. Ours runs thick. Ours runs true. And ours must never thin."

Re-reading Fire and Blood as well as watching the show, it's crystal clear the meaning of "The Old, The True, The Brave" as the motto of House Velaryon.

If you read carefully Fire and Blood and pay attention to every union between a Targaryen and a Velaryon, it's clear the Velaryons have some kind of dominant traits over the Targaryens, both within the book and the show.

We know little about Valaena Velaryon, but I think that as she was related to the Targaryens through her mother, it's safe to say another Targaryen woman could have married into the Velaryons by that time, and they still kept looking like a Velaryon.

Alyssa Velaryon was the daughter of Aethan Velaryon and Alarra Massey, a woman of mixed Andal-First Men blood, and even then Alyssa had her father's silver hair. Her daughter Alysanne had honey blonde hair because of her and probably her siblings Viserys and Vaella too, as well as her granddaughter and namesake Alyssa Targaryen having dirty blonde hair and one of her eyes being green as a result of Alyssa Velaryon's genes. Then years after Aenys' death, Alyssa marries Rogar Baratheon -who is the great grandson of Aerion Targaryen- and they have Boremund and Jocelyn Baratheon who have their father's black hair, Jocelyn would later marry her half-nephew Aemon Targaryen and they have Rhaenys who has her mother's black hair and father's pale lilac eyes. Rhaenys is related to Corlys as Rhaenys' grandmother Alyssa Velaryon was the sister of the Second Daemon Velaryon, Corlys' grandfather.

Daenaera Velaryon, the granddaughter of Vaemond Velaryon through his son Daeron, was another woman whose genes were shown on her children, Daena's hair had a little of gold in her hair and Rhaena the Septa's own hair had more golden than silver, and Elaena's gold streak were because of Daenaera Velaryon's silver-gold hair.

Now, in the show, many have said that as House Velaryon is explicitly confirmed to have many branches, that Valaena came from one branch that was white, and that Alyssa Velaryon came from another white branch, and that Corlys mother or grandmother could have been a black Valyrian woman, which is not impossible as George RR Martin once said he wanted Valyrians to be black initially and kept it with the Velaryons, as it adds to Valyrians truly being different to the rest of Westeros.

And this brings me to this conclusion about Vaemond Velaryon's speech in Laena's funeral: Velaryon genetics are at least dominant over the Targaryens.

They are no strangers to the practice of intermarrying, but even if they marry Non-Valyrians their genes are always there and present themselves in one way or another.

Rhaenys The Queen Who Should Have Been is a descendant of Alyssa Velaryon through both her father and mother: Aemon Targaryen the Pale Prince was Alyssa's grandson and Jocelyn Baratheon was the youngest of Alyssa's children. Rhaenys married Corlys Velaryon, and they had Laenor and Laena.

Laena married Daemon Targaryen and they had the twins Baela and Rhaena, while Laenor married Rhaenyra.

It's not like Jacaerys, Lucerys and Joffrey should be immediate male copies of Baela and Rhaena, but at least there should be some resemblance. Those boys do not look like their Arryn relatives as when Jace visits the Vale, no one points out his resemblance to his maternal great grandfather Rodrik Arryn nor does he resemble his mother's cousin Jeyne Arryn. In a scenario of the genetics of his non-valyrian forefathers' genetics appearing, the most likely are the Baratheon ones as those are the most dominant ones, and that would cement them as truly being Velaryons as Jocelyn Baratheon is Laenor's grandmother.

But they do not, Fire and Blood describes them as having Harwin Strong's bone structure and nose, they never are described as resembling the Baratheons or the Arryns, emphasizing that they are not Laenor's sons and are no true Velaryons.
