viserys and rhaenyra are genuinely such an interesting dynamic to me because like. to everyone else she's clearly the favorite, but the first time she ever attempts to gainsay him because he didn't tell her about the arranged marriage, that ends with her on her knees begging for his forgiveness.

#is he indulgent with her ? yes. bc that's his way of trying to remedy the beef between his wife and daughter and she's disobeyed him like -#all of three times in thirty three years #like her position hinges on remaining in his good graces and she's painfully aware of that fact. and that she has to be aware of what he #wants most and that IS peace in the family.#and that's the one thing she can't do because that won't happen unless she steps aside for her brother #he exiles her post driftmark and she races to kings landing to help him with her own maester after he cuts his hand on the throne #like she has to be more then the perfect daughter she has to be ? perfect enough it negates the fact he has three trueborn sons and her ver #conflict avoidant father is constantly being asked and questioned about making AEGON his heir #but she's also ? she IS grateful of what he's done for her but like.#if he had done it before aemma died then ?#everything would be ? so much EASIER #but she also wants to be worthy of it for his sake bc she's ? eight #she wants to make him proud #and like he defends her claim as a thing of legitimacy as his successor and that of her children's birth - he always has #and to her that's enough #she can defend herself as long as she has that - but she also knows the latter is ? bc he himself is not sure

Whoever conceived and animated this moment, I hope they're doing well and thriving. This is S-rank romance stuff here.

#the ship overall is C to A tier #but it's things like THIS that push it up toward the A #titan ae #titan a.e.#cale #akima #it just...#starts with them chilling together being comfortable in each other's space #that would be enough that's a point there #then she goes and HANDS HIM THE SANDWICH SHE'S EATING #sharing their food #that's another one #and she does it because his hands are busy so he can't feed himself #so that's a third point #and she does it WITHOUT LOOKING AT HIM which is a FOURTH point #and he bites into it without request or invitation so that's a FIFTH point #and then he TAKES THE WHOLE SANDWICH AND GULPS IT DOWN LIKE A LIZARD #which is a SIXTH point #and jumps it up to SEVEN because she pulls her fingers free and finally looks at him and yells at him #IT'S A SEVEN-POINT ROMANCE COMBO #do you know how utterly rare those are?#those are generally earned through KISS scenes where the hands move and the heads touch and maybe there's a spin #they achieved a seven-point romance combo by SHARING A SANDWICH #fixing machines and sharing lunch URRRRRRRRRRRRGHHHHH

My baby daughter got her adorable puffin-print dress absolutely CAKED in mud crawling around the yard and my first thought was "oh no her beautiful dress"

And my second thought was "oh huh it really WOULD be easy to unconsciously steer her away from playing in the dirt. Unlike my son, whose outfits are usually some kind of solid dark easily washed pants plus a shirt that doesn't trail in the dirt like a dress does."

Anyway something something gender roles start getting shoved on kids from literal birth, but with a little time to think about things, YOU TOO can let your children of any gender absolutely destroy their clothes in the dirt pit they're digging in your garden

#all clothes provided through hand me downs and grandparents #we asked for non strongly gendered or branded things and that mostly worked for firstborn boy #but baby girl has gotten nothing but the cutest little dresses #that I am absolutely not going to stress if she destroys because it's not like they'll last until next summer anyway #at which point she'll be big enough for her brother's dirt-compatible pants #now if we can get her to stop EATING the dirt that would be GRAND #her pronouns are om/nom #literal definition of a baby
