#The reach.

[visxionaries]

and the beacon still burns green ; the trembles of the hightower.

facts:

following king jaehaerys targaryen's coronation in kings landing, lord garland hightower returns to oldtown a week later to continue working on matters regarding the high septon - this is whilst the rest of the court of the reach remain within kings landing.

chatter among servants regarding the coronation of jaehaerys targaryen travels the halls of the hightower, until it reaches the ears of lady alicent hightower, who remained in the custody of house hightower and specifically garland since the end of the dance of dragons.

the presence of lady alicent hightower remains a top secret contained only to the hightower, but upon hearing the news, alicent finds herself increasingly turbulent in demanding to see garland, continuously referring to jaehaerys as aegon.

when lord garland hightower finally meets with his aunt, after days of increasing tense behaviour, an altercation occurs. alicent, wrapped in her own mind and feverish zealous nature, declares garland's marriage to zialla antaryon from braavos the cause of the breakdown of the hightowers.

she cites the death of dante hightower to be a result of punishment from the gods, and goes on to demand being let out of the chambers in order to be allowed to visit aegon; the rightful king of the realm. when garland refuses and turns to leave, in one sweeping moment, the glass goblet she held onto to drink wine from was shattered over the back of his head, piercing into his skull. the lord of oldtown falls to the floor, in a pool of his own blood. there is silence.

silence, until the scream of lady simonetta hightower fills the air upon seeing the sight of her son on the ground, with alicent holding a bloody, half shattered goblet in her hands, cutting into her own flesh. as simonetta scrambles to her knees in an attempt to shake garland, desperate to see him awake, alicent looks upon simonetta and sees only a redwyne, adorned in emeralds glinting in the reflection of the stained glass. the redwynes, who surrendered their responsibility to the crown when lord arlo redwyne was murdered by the rowan boy.

suddenly, alicent hightower reached forward to grab onto the emerald necklace around simonetta's neck, half mad, half furious, half grieving, with incessant screams to take it off. it was then the shards of glass alicent gripped onto found their way into simonetta's neck. not once, but twice.

hightower guards have arrested alicent hightower, where she remains a captive of the burning beacon; an urgent letter was sent to multiple members of the court of the reach to inform them of the news. as of this moment, the court of thorns and roses have declared the need to depart back to the rolling fields of the reach, citing security as their only reason.

the ooc and ic facts:

nobody knows garland is dead yet apart from reach muses; lord gael hightower is declared the regent/warden of oldtown until the lady rosaria hightower is of age.

cedric has imposed martial law over oldtown and the hightower to take control of matters, considering nobody even knew alicent was alive. he truly believes they have brought this upon themselves - he needs convincing the hightowers were not planning on using alicent for any other purposes.

lady rhea tarly is being charged with ensuring garland's death remains under wraps until it is officially declared.

lady rosaria hightower, an infant of only a few months old at this point, is in the care of lord omer and lady lucrezia florent (as garland gave his daughter to lucrezia to be cared for) - cedric intends to use this fact to assert tyrell influence and control over oldtown.

white americans when you tell them that the idea of climate change as an impending disaster is a reductive first world perspective because it’s a tangible reality for many in the global south already:

two “cats” interacting

[cdpdoodler]

post by @theeffens on TikTok

I used to staged fist fights with my friends in 711. We would actually punch each other and then end the fight by making out.

People were always really confused and shocked.

The employees didn't really care we were fighting and would laugh.

Years later some guy started a fight with me at a show and once we were grappling on the floor I instinctively started making out with him.

He immediately got up and left the show. Technically I have won every fight I've ever been in 💪

losing my mind over this a little bit. new type of guy.

Truck drivers in Michigan have for years smashed into an undersized bridge called The Big Penny. Normal warning signs have not deterred drivers from wedging dozens of trucks into its hungry maw.

So they put eyes and teeth on the bridge, in part as a further deterrent.

It has not worked…

IF YOU LIVE IN THE US, PLEASE READ THIS

Posting this from the bird app since I hope it can help people.

People have been contacting the White House directly to demand a recount, especially since there has been evidence that not every ballot has been counted and will be thrown away if it hasn't been cured.

The link to contact the White House is here!

The following screenshot comes from here!

If you need help writing something, check under the cut! I've provided a prewritten response from one of the replies!

"I am a concerned citizen, and I need you to hear me. I urge you to recount the ballots from this election and investigate election interference. Bomb threats have been called into multiple polling locations, causing some to close early. Domestic terrorists have burned ballot boxes. An unprecedented number of ballots have been rejected and require curing. There have been reports of polling officers allowing voter intimidation in and outside of polling places across the country and an estimated 20 million mail in ballots are unaccounted for. In addition, many people have reported that ballots were not counted for suspicious reasons such as signature invalidation which is information that vote counters do not have access to. These events have occurred in swing states such as Pennsylvania, Nevada, and Georgia, for instance."

Feel free to add and change what you want, this is just a base for you to work off of.

This is a slow fandom zone

None of that "Oh no they bomb-dropped all the episodes in a week 1 month ago, I'm late!" "The tag hasn't been active all week is the fandom dead?" "I only got a hundred shares the first hour no one cares about my art"

Slow down

Take a deep breath and slow down

Fandom is YOU. And me and everyone. If we doodle stick figures for a show that ended 30 years ago we aren't "late" or "doing too little", we're playing dolls in our own time and having fun with works of art that mean a lot to us

You can literally watch and engage with something that aired in 2004 as if it aired yesterday

If the tag hasn't been active for 14 months guess what? If YOU post there, it isn't dead. Literally you can talk about anything you want whenever you want there is no weird law against watching things that people aren't actively talk about

Let's be deranged about stories together

[marypsue]

Keep seeing that post where OP starts like 'Thinking about...grieving the undead' and then adds on about like. Real life situations where people have not died but have left your life and you would have reason to grieve them.

All respect, that's an important concept, but that is not what I am thinking about when I read 'grieving the undead'.
