I think alot more people would enjoy the show if they learned to see Rhaenyra and Alicent as Unreliable Narrators, and characters who are supposed to have glaring flaws and weaknesses.
Mandatory preface- There are Issues™️ with season 2 that are its own other ask- but the complaints ive seen about character assassination on both women kind of tells me ppl just wanted to see the two just GirlBossing around, not being tragic characters trapped in their own circumstances.
For Alicent specifically- she just isn't written to be Cersei 2.0, and while it was really interesting to see motherhood from cersei's point of view, its already been done!! I actually prefer seeing Alicent's mercurial clinging to and abandoning motherhood- its interesting!! She was made a mother at what- 15? An age where you truly arent mentally developed enough to raise 3 kids, AND be a child bride, AND be a queen, (AND be a lesbian).
Alicent is interesting to me because she's stunted at 15 years old, she's an adult woman who talks to and sometimes bullies her kids as if they are her peers, and is obsessed with her childhood crush(es). She hasn't built any new relationships* past the ones she was entangled with as a teenager, she's obsessed with both acting out to make SOMEONE see that shes suffering, (she's honestly pretty blatant for someone who prides themselves on being the Temperate Voice of Reason) but also to erase herself and reset to before she had to marry the king, before aemma died.
I think most of her 'bad out of character' decisions are just these two impulses winning out, her trying to force a reset, go back to a time where none of this had happened yet, when things were simpler and she had love and every day wasn't the worst day of her life™️.
She sleeps with cole, the man she thought was pretty at 15 (her last uncomplicated attraction just before it all went wrong and aemma died) -she doesnt seem to like it that much, but she does seem compelled to seek him out, esp when upset- shes obsessed with, and desperate to reconnect with Rhaenyra, her childhood best friend (and first love) and get back to where they were as kids, AND she still treats and asks her father for absolution as if he's still the only authority that matters to her just like she did at 15. Alot of her 'victim complex/bewildered they took it so far' behaviour in the plotting of rhaenyra's usurption reads to me like a teenager in over her head, she talked big game and now its real and shes panicking!! She's tragic BECAUSE she's still a teenager- so stunted shes unable to meaningfully grow up and learn to make healthier choices for herself, or move on and stop trying to grasp at the 'if i could just go back' urge.
As a mother, I think this creates an interesting dynamic as well, and I do like that in the casting even, she seems closer in age to her kids than rhaenyra does to hers. I think the contrast ppl are drawing with Alicent Protecting Her Kids in season1 compared to her giving them up in season two isn't bad writing to me, just massive differences in context. Sure she protected Aemond in driftmark, but we cant ignore that she probably felt humiliated by her husband choosing rhaenyra's side over hers in front of everyone, did it seem like a grown woman fighting for her son?? or a teenager furious with her ex winning one over her again? or both!! both sides twisted together is still interesting! When she protected Aegon from Rhaenys, is stepping in front of her son the king to protect him from the enemies dragon fire not the most romantic daydream of a deserving death a child bride could come up with?? Was it the impulse to protect the son she couldnt decide if she loved or hated, or was it to have the most heroic death possible to escape the reality that she sees coming. And if Rhaenyra hears about how Brave she was in the face of a dragons maw, and cries about it forever and feels sooo bad and regrets it til the day she dies, thats an added bonus. I think Alicent loves her kids, but is teenager selfish about HOW she loves and protects her kids, and is unable to be a mature, consistant, protective mother to them when she also sees them as having ruined her life. I think in season 2 when she 'gives them up' shes relieved, and once again following the compulsion of 'if i reset to when Rhaenyra was heir, i had no sons, and i wasn't married or queen, everything will be better'. I think theres complexity to it, i think she does love her sons and feels insane about it, but I think Alicent has been trying to Go Back in more and more Intense ways ever since she got married, and we might be giving her sanity more credit than it deserves when it comes to the need to wipe the board clean and go back to being 15.
hey anon are you trying to get married to me or what
#answered#anonymous#house of the dragon#hotd#rhaenicent#alicent hightower#EXCELLENT EXCELLENT EXCELLENT#every time we remember that alicent is a stunted teenager who married a man twice her age another angel gets its wings#even rhaenyra is nowhere NEAR as stunted as alicent who was popping babies at 15#her relationship switches from protecting mother to a sneering older sister to HER OWN KIDS#because shes emotionally stuck at the age her life went to complete hell#thanks again otto for the lifelong trauma

dpxdc - Neglected Child AU
As one of his first acts as Ghost King, Danny basically created ghost CPS. Mostly they help new spirits come to terms with the fact that they're dead, but situations like Danny's are a lot more common than the Observants had lead him to believe. People who come back from the dead or are exposed to large quantities of unstable ectoplasm often lead sad, short second lives. Either because they are unable to obtain the nutrients their new forms require, or because their communities turn against them in fear. This is a story about Jason Todd.
There was a lot Jazz loved about her job. She loved helping young ghosts find acceptance. She loved matching cases with foster Fraids. She loved meeting new people. She loved the rare excuse to travel dimensions. But some days, Jazz was intimately reminded of why this program was formed in the first place.
Knock, knock, knock.
Jazz looked up from her laptop. “Come in!”
Apple – the ghost of a dryad whose tree was chopped down two summers ago – poked her head in.
“Uh, Lady- I mean, Ms. Phan-, no,” Apple took a shuddering breath. Jazz smiled encouragingly. The girl had only been working here for a season, and already she was making excellent progress. “Ms. Jasmine, there’s a city spirit here to see you, uh, on behalf of a uh, potential client.”
“Thank you, Apple, you can send them in.” Jazz said.
Apple flushed green, closing the door with a sigh. Jazz guessed she had about two minutes before the impromptu meeting began. She used the time to sweep some papers off her desk and into a drawer. It had been some time since she’d had a walk-in like this. Jazz had a strict open doors policy when it came to her office, despite the technical fact that her door was often closed; it was just easier to focus that way! She had no idea why most ghosts preferred to submit claims by mail, really it was much better for them to speak with an officer in person.
Thirty years ago, Jazz would’ve had trouble describing the spirit that walked through the doors. Fifty years ago, even looking at it would’ve been painful. But Jasmine Duchess Phantom had been living in the Infinite Realms for almost eighty years now, and liminal senses reached out subconsciously, cataloging scents and colors that her mortal mind would have balked at.
The shape of a steel-colored skeleton peered out at her from a billowing cloud of grey smoke, which curled around its feet and seeped across the floor. Jazz tasted gunmetal and sugar, smelled stale urine and burned bread, felt desperation-fear-hunger-love crash violently against her. Like a cliff to a wave, Jazz stood her ground, letting herself be tested. This spirit was old and afraid; when it spoke, it spoke in a million overlapping voices.
“My apologies for barging in unannounced, Your Grace. I come before you with an issue of great import. One I have reason to believe our King may have a personal interest in.”
Jazz nodded, “My doors are always open, City Spirit. I’m always happy to help. But before I hear your petition, may I know who I am addressing?”
The skeleton did not move that she could see, but Jazz heard windchimes like chittering laughter.
“I am Gotham, Your Grace. My apologies for my rudeness. I have little reason to travel these days and am unaccustomed to necessary introductions.”
Jazz nodded, committing the name and its taste to memory. “No need to apologize, Gotham. Your situation is not unique amongst your kind. Have a seat,” Jazz gestured at the plush couch across from her desk. “What troubles you so, to bring you so far from home?”
There was more windchime tittering, and Jazz wondered if the spirit was laughing or just readjusting itself on a plane she could not see. A nervous tick, perhaps? Maybe she could send Apple for something to make Gotham feel more at ease. Bullet casings or chocolate chip cookies would be equally soothing to this entity, Jazz guessed.
Gotham folded into itself, form blurring slightly before reforming on the couch, leaned forward with elbows on knees. “Many years ago, a mortal man pledged himself to my service. I accepted him as a City Guard, my mortal Champion. This man has many children who have likewise pledged themselves to my protection.”
Jazz smothered the urge to interrupt. She loathed the idea of child Guards; the fact that this City Spirit was here now asking for help meant that this instance had gone just as well as it usually did.
Unaware of her internal judgement, Gotham continued. “The second child died and revived some seven years ago, I…” This time, the rattling sound emanating from Gotham shook the room with the force of a thunderclap. “You have to understand, I don’t claim kids as champions, so technically he was never even under my protection. And when he came back, he ran! I don’t have power outside the city, you know, so even if, well, it’s not like there was anything I could have done differently,”
Jazz was aware that she was frowning. She could only guess what her aura felt like to Gotham, whose smoky aura was rapidly thickening. A bird puffing itself up to look bigger. A cheap trick. If Jazz were in a more compassionate mood, she might have felt embarrassed at such a juvenile display from a spirit decades older than herself.
“You neglected a child, or-” she cut off Gotham before it could protest, “allowed a child to be neglected. For seven years. What changed? Why petition him now and not then?”
Gotham chittered, “Well, you see, he came back to me just over a year ago, retook his pledge and everything. And, well, things were rough, I thought the fraid was just readjusting itself, but, er-”
“Tell me.”
“Well, the problem is I don’t exactly know what the boy is anymore, but he’s more ghostly than not, and his fraid’s fully human. If this infighting between my Guards goes on for any longer, it’ll tear me apart. I figured The King might want to step in, considering this boy might be a halfa, maybe he could help him and the fraid get back to normal.”
Jazz grinned. “Rest assured, Gotham, The Crown will indeed be taking special interest in your case.” Words dripped from her lips, caustic even to her own ears. “Now, why don’t you go outside and give Apple the rest of the details. I have some visits to make.”

it occurred to me this morning that machete is a cardinal, so in some universe he could feasibly become pope. i can't imagine anyone more stressed out than Machete As Pope
.
#it'd be extremely unlikely but not impossible! as a cardinal he's definitely eligible#he's nowhere near popular prestigious connected and wealthy enough to compete against his more influential and power-hungry peers#I don't think he'd want that either#despite his high status he's a very private and reserved person and being a Pope is all about the pomp and circumstance#and I don't think he'd survive for long#he'd get some kind of disastrous mental breakdown or his health would completely give in under the stress and pressure#he's good at being a ruler's competent right hand man or second-in-command#but as a sole leader it's more likely he'd quickly lose his sense of direction and collapse like a house of cards#answered#doomcountry

I’m not sure I’ve accepted the whole “writer” label, even after writing many many words now, because for some reason I am certain I will never be sharing anything I write unless it is absolutely 100% complete, and I am so serious about that. The artist in me would not like to post a work until it is done, and thus, the writartist in me says “yeah that”
#though conceptually I understand why writers want to share the thing earlier than that. this shit is taking aeons SHEESH#but i know (from experience) that posting before finishing is the kiss of death for an artist.#especially if you can’t finish it in like a day#and i am nowhere near that level of skill in writing so. wait we shall#also fwiw I am completely okay with this. it actually hadn’t occurred to me that it might be weird until i talked to a writer friend abt it#‘when will you start posting’ ummmm when i FINISH? this isn’t gracing anyone’s vision until it’s got my papal blessing

How many times I have seen the scene when Halbrand is speaking in Black Speech?
Yes.
#i love the sound of it#i love that he was a linguist#i love that he came up with a language that is completely regular#i might be a fan#dunno if you noticed#🤣🤣🤣#so much talent wasted on what wasn't really worth it#the rings of power#rop season 2#halbrand#also: i am a linguist too#nowhere near as good as jrrt or sauron#but it explains a lot

Mistletoe 🎄
A Christmas wish
"Did you look up yet, Sade?"
"What do you mean?"
"Look..."
"Mistletoe."
"Yup. And you know what that means..."
"You'd better watch it, James Wyler, we both know how easily one thing can lead to another, especially when it's us..."
"Haha! Well in that case, let's just have a cuddle, is that okay?"
"Yes, you know I love that..."
"And I love you, girl. Thank you for always being there for me."
"Right back at you. Please always keep being you."
"Merry Christmas Sade..."
"Merry Christmas James..."
🎄Merry Christmas🎄
from me and these two idiots who have turned my entire story line upside down. Whether you're celebrating extensively with lots of people around or having a more quiet home Christmas like I do; I hope it's everything you wish it to be.
And if Christmas is a difficult time for you; James, Sadie and I all know how dark life can sometimes get, so please have a little love from me and my favourite twosome and hang in there. I hope you have someone to talk to ❤️.
N.B. The adventcalender patterns by @simlicious were the absolute cherry on the cake when I was shooting this scene. Thank you for these. ❤️
#so I was just going to post a few pictures#but of course it turned into a mini story of its own#just to stress: this is completely non-canon#it's nowhere near Christmas in my game atm#But maybe it's a look into the future...?#Also; I can never convincingly pair these two up with with other people anymore can I...?#They so messed everything up...#But I love them#Merry Christmas!#atoh christmas message#atoh au#ts3#the sims 3#sims 3#sadie stevens#james wyler#sims christmas

Listen, I know Percy is just a kid who's bearing the weight of saving the world on his shoulder, knowing there's a high chance he will die at the end of it even if he survives - but. The way in the last Olympian he's so ready to judge and condemn Nico without thinking twice, he wants to fucking strangle him, he stops trusting him and considers him a traitor (and he kind of his okay, but not really!) - even when he knows that Nico didn't mean it, that everything he told him was true and that he never meant to hurt him, he just wanted to help.
Nico's only fault is that he trusted his father too much, and really Percy could try and understand him and his reason. But he doesn't. He never tries to understand him, he just discards him like an afterthought. Like - where's the "I'm gonna take the prophecy on myself to keep him safe bc he doesn't deserve to suffer anymore" gone? Where's the "I feel guilty and I want to help him"??? Did he forget everything?? Can he try and empathize with him for just one second???
#percy jackson#pjo#percy jackson and the olympians#nico di angelo#percico#my posts#this is me speaking as the biggest nico stan that i am#but if i manage to put my rage aside for a moment#this actually makes Percy's character and his whole relationship with nico even more interesting#bc percy isnt just a hero hes just a kid#hes not perfect#hes nowhere near perfect#somehow nico pulls out the worst part of him#not sure what this says about them#they live on two completely separate planes of existence#they only meet occasionally and collide#but they dont really SEE each other you know#percy doesnt see nico not really#when he first met him he stopped at the annoying petulant little kid#amd after that he stopped at the '#'hes a creepy son of hades and i cant trust him bc he kind of betrayed me once#he doesnt try to know him for real#nico too in a way - hes in love with the heroic side of Percy but does he even really know him#as i said theyre both traumatized little boys who have too much on their plate#they didnt even have time to deal with everything#i HATE that rick never showed us them bonding for real though#their relationship stayed superficial in a way if you think about it#but do we care about canon? no we dont in this house. i like to think they finally got time to really know each other#after boo when everything was over#and maybe they become friends or more. but anyway they finally really SEE each other for what they really are

Overwatch is like Dead by Daylight in that yeah it's not GREAT but every few months a new "[game] KILLER" gets announced and everyone hypes it up like it'll finally dethrone them only to die in less than a year once the New Game Sheen wears off
#marvel rivals is the new one#overwatch#dead by daylight#doesnt help that people just forgot that ow made everyone free a while ago so that isnt really a selling point now#another vhs abother tcm another gundam evolution another lawbreakers#the cycle continues#who want to go to new thing thats nowhere near complete when you can stay with the old thing#and not learn a bunch of mechanics again and still have microtransactions

felt a little better today, I even checked some discord servers (I muted them all on Sunday..) and sent like two messages. I’m just trying to get myself through this week and then see how this continues..
#I’m nowhere near ready to talk about what happened on here but it’s truly devastating and I’m just trying to cope#my head is full of questions still#i feel a little sad about not being on here cause this is my home where all my friends are#but I’m completely overwhelmed with life#so I reduced it to a minimum for now#I see the people who still show up in my likes these days though and it’s sweet knowing someone’s around when I’m not#my stuff
