Peggy: are you... flirting with me? Dottie: I've been for the pas few years, but thanks for noticing. Howard: C'mon, Peg, are you serions? She's been so straight forward! Angie: gay forward. But yes, that was rather obvious. I mean, since we met she never stopped asking about you. Jarvis: I did notice she seemed to have a kind of inclination towards you, miss Carter, I thought you'd know it. Ana: Are you kidding me? Jarvis couldn't stop talking about how a murderer was trying to hit on you! Jack: Even I had notice that... Sousa: I thought you never replied because you weren't interested. Wilkes: Yeah, I mean, when she was flirting with me I knew it was because she wanted you to be jealous. Peggy: ...

You were silent as you drove though New York. The only sound in the car was Timothee anxiously talking on the phone in French. Probably to his sister or Dad. His grandma had passed and you guys were heading to his parents house to have a shiva for his grandma.
Listening to him talk in French was normally mesmerizing and wonderful to listen too. Now he sounded anxious and sad.
By the time you got to his parents apartment he had hung up and looked at you exhaustion written all over his pale face.
“It’ll be alright my love.”
As soon as you two enter. Timothee runs right to his mother sobbing.
You greet Pauline and Marc.
“c'était un service charmant.” You say in your not so great French.
They nod and embrace you.
“nous serions venus plus tôt mais Timothée a vomi dès notre sortie du bâtiment.” You explain.
Marc frowns
“It’s quite alright Y/N” Pauline says. You glanced at Timothee. Still wrapped up in his mother’s arms.
“Oh my love you’re crushing her.” You rush over to pull him away.
“Mama.” He whines.
“I’m alright Timmy.” His mom assures him.
Timothee coughs and whimpers.
Pauline can you help him to bed. I think the funeral and everything has exhausted him. We’ll stay for a few days and help with whatever. But now he needs rest.”
Timothee continues to cry and cry. Pauline helps him to the guest bedroom to help him calm down.
“Nicole I apologize for that I know this loss has been hard on you all. But I worry…”
“Darling Y/N you’ve taken care of our son and now our family. You don’t have to apologize. Don’t be sorry about Timmy.”
Marc nods “we are devastated by this loss. We can all work through it together. I am just glad you are taking care of my son.”
You nod.
“We’ve would have come sooner if Timothee hadn’t puked as soon as we left the synagogue.”
Nicole frowned and shook her head.
“It’s quite alright. Besides no one stayed Long and we all need to rest and figure out things.”
You nod you can hear Pauline saying something to Timothee in French and despite your French lessons from Timothee and occasionally his father. You can barely make out what she’s saying to him.
You help Tim’s parents clean up from the celebration of life for Enid. While Pauline helps Timothee calm down. Eventually his crying lessens and Pauline emerges from the guest bedroom.
“Is he alright?” You question.
Pauline nods
“He finally fell asleep. You’re right he is exhausted.”
“He’s been filming things and now all this. I’m not surprised. Poor guy needs sleep.” You say.
“Has he been struggling to sleep?” His mom asks.
“He had dark circles under his eyes. When he rushed in here.” Says his father.
“He’s been all over and sometimes he wouldn’t sleep well. Worrying about work and stuff. It was improving for a while but I think this started it all up again. I don’t know how much help he’ll be.”
His parents nod and later that evening Timothee doesn’t come out to eat dinner.
You bring him a small plate of food to eat. After you’ve eaten. You find him scrolling through his phone.
“s'il te plaît, mange un petit quelque chose mon amour” you say gently as you enter the guest room.
“laisse-moi à mon chagrin et à ma souffrance” he responds
You shake your head and place the plate on the nightstand.
“I know it hurts bubba and I’m sorry.” You say before leaving him to be alone for a few more minutes until you will join him for bedtime.
Grief is exhausting and you know it’ll take a toll on all of you. It hurts to see Timothee so heartbroken and sad.
Later that night
Timothee wakes up sick every few hours. You’re up with him each time. He’s a complete mess and can’t seem to settle. At one point his mom comes in to try to help. You hated when Timothee got anxious and couldn’t sleep. He seemed far away, distant.
Eventually he falls asleep with his head in his mom’s lap. His mom gently running a hand through his curls.
“I’m sorry Nicole. I didn’t mean for him to wake you.”
“Y/N please it’s alright. Don’t worry about me. I’ll be alright. We’ll be ok. We’ll get through this.” Nicole gently massages Timothee’s scalp as he sleeps In her lap.
“Grief is hard but we’ll be ok we have each other.” Nicole says.
You nod and move closer to her. Watching Timothee sleep finally.
Nicole smiles warmly at you.
“You need rest too you know.” She says
“Oh I’m alright I slept on the flight here. I’m worried about him and you.” You gesture to Timothee.
“He’ll sleep now don’t worry. You need sleep as much as the rest of us.” She said
“You sound like my mother when I work too much.” You chuckle.
“I’m a mother and your mother in law. Of course I’d worry about you too.”
“Just rest Y/N I’ll take care of him if he wakes again.” She says
“Are you sure?” You ask.
She nods “stop worrying about him. He’s ok now.”
You nod and curl up next to Timothee and you realize just how tired you really are. Within minutes you are asleep.
A/N l came up with this idea after thinking about the loss of my grandpa and when I learned about Timothee losing his grandma in March 2022 I came up with this. So yea

Le Forum économique mondial (WEF) a admis que la pandémie de COVID-19 était un test de l'obéissance du public à accepter son Nouvel Ordre Mondial il a publié l'admission suivante sur la page "Mon carbone" de son site web où ils font un pitch pour les villes intelligentes de 15 minutes Thegatewaypundit.com rapporte : Le premier des trois "développements" qui, selon le WEF, doivent être en place avant que le monde puisse évoluer vers sa vision utopique des "villes intelligentes et durables", est le respect des restrictions à notre liberté. Il écrit :
1. COVID-19 a été le test de la responsabilité sociale - Un grand nombre de restrictions inimaginables pour la santé publique ont été adoptées par des milliards de citoyens à travers le monde. Il existe de nombreux exemples à l'échelle mondiale de maintien de la distanciation sociale, de port du masque, de vaccinations de masse et d'acceptation des demandes de recherche des contacts pour la santé publique, qui ont démontré le cœur de la responsabilité sociale individuelle.
Ils nous testaient. C'est ce qu'était le Covid. Ils voulaient voir combien d'entre nous abandonneraient notre liberté individuelle et notre souveraineté individuelle en se conformant à une "nouvelle normalité" qui consistait en des restrictions à la limite de l'absurde. Pourquoi, par exemple, était-il "sûr" de faire ses achats chez Lowe's ou Home Depot, mais dangereux de faire ses courses dans une petite entreprise ou d'aller à l'église ? Pourquoi était-il acceptable d'aller dans des clubs de strip-tease dans le Michigan mais vous ne pouviez pas acheter de graines pour un jardin ? Ce que le WEF implique avec sa déclaration ci-dessus, c'est que pour être "durables", les personnes et les sociétés devront se conformer à un nouvel ordre mondial plus autoritaire. Ne pose pas de questions. Ne recourez pas à la logique. Il suffit d'obéir. Serions-nous obéissants face à de nouvelles lois et réglementations idiotes, comme porter des couches pour arrêter ce qui était considéré comme un virus en aérosol, et se tenir à 3 mètres l'un de l'autre en public, et se soumettre à une injection non autorisée d'ARNm jamais utilisée auparavant ?
Tumblr media
WEF has admitted that the COVID-19 pandemic is a test of the public’s obedience to its New World Order, posting the following admission on the “My Carbon” page of its website where it makes a 15-minute pitch for smart cities. Thegatewaypundit.com reports: The first of three “developments” that the WEF says must be in place before the world can move toward its utopian vision of “smart, sustainable cities,” is compliance with restrictions on our freedom. It writes: 1. COVID-19 has been the test of social responsibility - A large number of unimaginable public health restrictions have been adopted by billions of citizens around the world. There are many examples worldwide of maintaining social distancing, wearing masks, mass vaccinations, and accepting contact tracing requests for public health, which have demonstrated the heart of individual social responsibility. They were testing us. That’s what Covid was. They wanted to see how many of us would give up our individual freedom and individual sovereignty by conforming to a “new normal” that consisted of restrictions that bordered on the absurd. Why, for example, was it “safe” to shop at Lowe’s or Home Depot, but dangerous to shop at a small business or go to church? Why was it okay to go to strip clubs in Michigan but you couldn’t buy seeds for a garden? What the WEF is implying with their statement above is that in order to be “sustainable,” people and societies will have to conform to a new, more authoritarian world order. Don’t ask questions. Don’t resort to logic. Just obey. Would we be obedient to idiotic new laws and regulations, like wearing diapers to stop what was considered an aerosolized virus, and staying 10 feet apart in public, and submitting to an unauthorized mRNA injection never before used?

You can ignore this if it's too much trouble. But you've mentioned having access to Electronic Enlightenment and I wanted to ask if you could look up a particular Voltaire letter? I found it quoted somewhere but it doesn't give the date so I want to check if it's real. It's near the end of his life and he says something about wanting to come back as a republican after he dies? Thank you!!
Found it! "Admit that it is sweet to be born in a free country. For me if I ever come back to the world, I want to be reborn as a republican."
It's from a January 18, 1764 letter to Gabriel Cramer. Cramer was a Genevan publisher who specialized in dissident works from authors who preferred to remain anonymous. Unsurprisingly, he published a lot of V's stuff and worked closely with him.
Here's the full letter:
Voicy une Lettre de Démolard, ou Dumolard qui parait ne savoir pas encor que Mr Philibert a renoncé à la Typographie. Je crois que ce Dumolard demande des exemplaires du Corneille, et je pense aussi, que Mr Cramer ne lui en fera donner que pour de l'argent comptant, entendu que mr Dumolard pourait bien être parent de la Dame Brunet, Imprimeuse de l'académie.
Nous avons découvert quelques ennemis mortels de la Tolérance, et je crois qu'il est très à propos d'ordonner qu'on serre sous cent clefs vôtre ballot de Paris pendant un mois ou six semaines. J'espère qu'alors tous les orages seront appaisés.
Vous savez qu'on a fouré à la Bastille, le Typographe Lambert, il le méritait bien puis qu'il imprimait les males-semainesa de Fréron, mais après tout il est dur d'être entre quatre murailles pour avoir éxercé un art, sans lequel nous serions encor des barbares. Avouez qu'il est doux d'être né dans un païs Libre. Pour moi si je reviens jamais au monde, je veux renaitre républicain.
The context for "I want to be reborn a republican" is the news that a french typographer was recently thrown in the Bastille for publishing Fréron books. V jokes that he deserved it for publishing Fréron but more seriously adds that it's wrong to imprison someone for creating art. Then tells Cramer it must be nice living in a free country (Geneva was a republic at the time, although far from what the Amrev or Frev sought out to make) and that he wishes to be reborn at a republican, meaning someone born into a free country.
So he's saying it more casually than actually subscribing to republicanism but it's a very cool quote nonetheless!

Bonjour, je suis un peu déçue de devoir vous envoyer un tel message, mais pour la énième fois, une de mes commandes a été enlevées de la liste alors que je n'ai eu aucune réponse et que la galerie est restée moins d'une semaine dans les commandes en cours. Beaucoup des personnes ici ont participé à la fermeture de forums de ressources, nous assurant que nous ne serions pas sans rien. Or ce n'est pas le cas... Assumez de nous avoir privé de nos forums de ressources et tenez vos promesses !
Bonsoir,
Nous tenons à réagir sur ton ask. Désolé si ta commande a disparu de la liste. Récemment, nous avons eu un problème sur le thème du blog, un thème provisoire a été mis en place, et la liste a, par conséquence, disparu. L'ancien thème (datant de 10 mois) a été restauré mais avec les commandes du mois d'août et avant. La liste des commandes restent tout de même sur le Discord, si jamais tu t'y trouves, tu pourras vérifier que ta commande s'y trouve bien. La liste sur le tumblr sera mis à jour dès que possible.
Bonne soirée à toi.

A nice cup of coffee
On the morning of March 8th, 1865.
Dear Mom and dad.
We're tired. Scared. Hungry. Just barely alive. Winter's gone but there's no crops. Sometimes when we march, I feel like we're already dead, wandering ghosts in the desert. On Bennet's orders, we set camp yesterday evening on the banks of the Rio Grande. First rest in week. The captain won't tell us what are we doing here. We should be at Richmond, So I asked 1st Lt. Armstrong and he let slips that we must rendezvous with a secret convoy. Do any of then still carry some hope? Or is it a way to escape the incoming fall of Dixie? I don't know.
Robert is playing cards with Cornelius and Paddy. Nothing to bet but future wages. What a joke. 2nd lt. Middeltown is reading the same book over and over. I don't know what happened to the rest of his collection. The sarg, the real head of our squad, is playing the harp for us. It's sweet. I think we would have died long ago if it weren't for his experience.
And your Jesse is doing the dishes, like at home. I'm good at cooking, you know that, I even managed to make them all some coffee! I must confess I took the beans from the hands of a deserter we caught last night. May the Lord forgive me.
It's gonna be long day. They’ll need all the support I can get them.
I pray to come back home soon, safe and sound.
God bless you. Jesse Corbitt.
*PS : This is an intro text for a Call of Cthulhu RPG initiation scenario during the Civil War. I wanted to use the desperation of the confederate army at the end of the war as a realistic ambiance, building a feeling of despair right at the start. In retrospect, that was to high level for and introduction to role-playing, and quite insensitive in these times of exacerbated polarization. I should have stick with more classical Far West archetypes following the Down Darker Trail setup. Something like a Marshal and some good folks of Old Gulch Town. I won't tell further the content of this scenario because I don't want to spoil it but of course, there's Great Old Ones involved... * /* Krita + Yiynova */
8 mars 1865, petit matin, Cher parents.
Nous sommes épuisé. Meurtris. Affamés. A peine vivants. L'hiver s'en est allé mais aucune récolte ne se pointe. Parfois quand nous marchons, j'ai l'impression qu'en fait nous sommes déjà morts. Spectres errants dans le désert. Sur les ordres de Bennet, nous avons dressé le camp hier soir sur les rives du Rio Grande, et enfin pu passer la première vrai nuit depuis des semaines. Que fait-on là? Le Captain reste muet, aussi j'ai asticoté Armstrong, notre 1er lieutenant. Il a laissé s'échapper que nous étions sensé rejoindre un convoi secret. A quoi bon ? Est-ce qu'il leur reste réellement la moindre bride d'espoir ? Est-ce qu'ils pensent réellement empêcher la chute ? Je ne sais.
Robert joue aux cartes avec Cornelius et Paddy. Ils parient leur futurs gages, quelle blague... Le 2nd lieutenant Middletown relit encore le même fichu bouquin. Je crois que c'est le dernier qui lui reste. Je ne sais pas ce qu'il a fait des autres. Le sergent, notre vrai chef, joue de l'harmonica pour nous détendre. Ça aide. En fait, sans son aide et son expérience, je crois que nous serions déjà tous six pieds sous terre.
Et votre Jesse fait la vaisselle, comme à la maison. Vous le savez, j'aime ça, cuisiner. J'ai même réussi à leur faire du café ce matin ! Avec des baies que j'ai prises sur un déserteur qu'on a capturé hier soir. Dieu me pardonne, mais je me dois de leur donner tout le soutien possible. Ça va être une longue journée, je sens. Je prie de pouvoir rentrer bientôt à la ferme, sain et sauf.
Dieu vous bénisse. Jesse Corbitt *PS : Ceci est le texte d’introduction d'un scénario d'initiation pour le Jeu de Role de l'Appel de Cthulhu, qui se déroule durant la Guerre de sécession américaine. Je comptais utiliser l'horreur et le désespoir que l'imagine remplir les coeurs de l'armée confédérée vers la fin de la guerre, mais rétrospectivement, je pense m'être fourvoyé. Trop complexe pour une introduction au JdR et surtout sujet très sensible et maladroitement amené en ces temps de polarisation exacerbée. J'aurai du rester sur des archétypes de far-West en suivant le setup de Down Darker Trails. Quelque chose comme un Marshal et ses adjoints dans le petit village d'Old Gulch Town. Je ne dévoilerait pas plus avant le contenu du scénario pour ne pas le spoiler, mais bien entendu, l'ombre des Grands Anciens rôde...*

Hello ! Pour le character ask peux-tu développer ton opinion sur Frodon dans le seigneur des anneaux?
Aaaah merci ! C’est pas un personnage auquel j’aurais pensé au premier abord mais du coup c’est bien ça me fait réfléchir.
What I love about them: Mon opinion sur ce personnage a vraiment changé entre le moment où j’ai découvert le SdA à 18 ans et maintenant. Avant j’étais indifférente, maintenant, même si ce n’est pas mon personnage préféré, j’admire son courage. Ce que j’aime beaucoup c’est que Frodon est une personne ordinaire, dont on attend absolument rien. Il ne sait pas se battre, ce n’est pas un descendant de lignée royale et pourtant quand le danger menace son monde, il se lève. ça nous pose tout un tas de questions intéressantes, est-ce que nous aussi nous serions capable de nous dresser face à l’adversité s’il le fallait ? Je trouve aussi intéressant le fait qu’il échoue. Une chose qui nous rappelle que le SdA est une oeuvre bien moins “simple” que ce que certains veulent bien en dire.
What I hate about them: Pour le coup je ne me rappelle plus trop de si ça a été accentué dans le film où si c’est aussi présent dans le livre, mais quand il fait trop confiance à Gollum et rejette Sam.
Favorite Moment/Quote: Quand il déclare qu’il va porter l’anneau au conseil d’Elrond.
What I would like to see more focus on: J’aurais aimé voir des interactions avec Arwen ? (ça permettrait de développer d’ailleurs ce perso que je trouve insipide, désolée pour ceux qui l’apprécient) pour amener le fait qu’elle décide de lui donner sa place pour les Terres Immortelles.
What I would like to see less focus on: Pas grand chose.
Favorite pairing with: Avec la santé mentale.
Favorite friendship: Avec Sam of course.
NOTP: Frodon et Sam. C’est déjà une belle amitié qu’il n’y a à mon gout pas besoin d’en rajouter.
Favorite headcanon: Sur les Terres Immortelles, il se promène au bord de la mer. Pieds nus sur le sable humide, il laisse le ressac lui caresser les orteils. Il inspire un grand bol de brise iodée et laisse les vagues le bercer.

Hello! I tried your Eye Depth Detail Mod today and it doesn't seem to work for me. :( I can see the highlights but the shadows of my cc Eyes are still there. I used Remus Serion's eyes when I tested it BTW.
Hello, I’m so sorry. I don’t get notifications for asks so I miss people talking to me. The eye depth mod detail only works with eyes that don’t have their own shadow -- I linked some in the description. However, I have recently made yet another detail that makes all eyes compatible -- it’s just an overlay that covers up the dark sclera of cc eyes. It has multiple swatches to adjust to different size irises and can be found under all the occult detail slots. You can download the wip here: https://simfileshare.net/download/2015702/

Dear Italian Writer, Yes, I’m a Brazilian nonny! But, for the sake of your Tumblr tags, let’s stick with the “Latin American” nickname. Haha! You have a friend from São Paulo!!! That’s nice!!! I hope she/he is fine. We, Brazilians, are everywhere, but I’m curious. How did you two meet? If I’m not noisy, of course (:D :D). I’m going to be very honest. I hope my honesty doesn’t scare you. Things are pretty bad over here. /1
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Sweetheart! 😊
Okay, I'll stick to Latin American Nonny for the sake of the tags xD where are you from in Brazil? If you don't mind me asking: ignore this if it makes you uncomfortable!
Yes, I do have a Brazilian friend and last time I I checked she was fine and so were her dear ones. I wrote her after you guys hit the news again as you mentioned (I'll go back to it later), I'm waiting for her answer.
How did we meet? It's a fun story actually! We met in Ireland on a day tour to Belfast: I mean, what were the chances? And I remember almost being late for it because I got lost and found a taxi last minute...when you say it was fate. Anyway, we were the only ones travelling solo, and the only two lesbians travelling solo but we discovered it later so no "oh they were travelmates" 😅 We sticked together for the day, back in Dublin she showed me around a little (she has spent a whole week there), grabbed a bite and a pint at Temple Bar and we ended up in a gay bar for the night. Sadly, she had a flight the day after and I had to go back to the town I was based in but we have been in touch ever since. I would love to visit her and he girlfriend one day.
Now, grim news time...sadly, I have heard the news of Manaus and I got chills. Truly. Like, no I don't want this to happen, this can't be happening. I am concerned and it's heartbreaking when someone can't see a future for them in your own country. I get it, to some extent but I don't mean to compare our situations now. Dear nonny, I don't know if this makes sense but is there anything we can do to help?
Also, if I am not nosy, where would you like to go?
In Italy we...well, we're going through nonsense. A self-absorbed moron in our parliament is causing a government crisis. In the middle of a fucking pandemic we are struggling enough with only to prove he's better than our current prime minister. And God knows how it's gonna end. And the vaccination campaign is going slower than expected; to add insult to injury, the other day we lost almost a thousand doses of vaccine due to a refrigerator malfunction. But I don't wanna complain about that especially when I am aware we are in a privileged condition.
I DO LOVE INDOCHINE! And you, my friend, are the first person I speak to who seems to know what I am talking about! We must definitely add going to an Indochine concert together to the travelling list. Of course, I am not forgettingabout the Shibden Hall tour. We all need something nice to look forward to these days, right?
Oh they definitely do weird stuff in their videos! It's part of their aesthetic and philosophy, I think. And of course I know that song! It's absolutely gorgeous and you put it down into words way better than I could possibly do. I find that it is just the perfect anthem for these trying times - together with No Time For Love (Like Now), have you heard it? To me it's POETRY! Here is the link, if any of you reading this is interested.

Discussion between Urianger and Y'shtola about Creative Magic after asking some questions to the Amaurotines.
Tumblr media
FRENCH VERSION:
Y'shtola : À propos, Urianger... La magie créatrice des Amaurotains, à ton avis, qu'est-ce que c'est exactement ? Urianger : D'après ce que j'ai compris, il s'agit d'un pouvoir qui leur permet de donner corps à n'importe quel concept. Autrement dit, de façonner le monde. Urianger : Ce n'est pas sans rappeler les rituels d'invocation de Primordiaux enseignés par les Asciens, qui eux servent à matérialiser des divinités issues de diverses croyances. Y'shtola : C'est bien ce qu'il me semblait. Y'shtola : Avant l'éclatement du monde, les humains possédaient en eux des ressources magiques bien supérieures aux nôtres. Y'shtola : Assez pour leur permettre d'accomplir des exploits gourmands en énergie éthérée, à l'image de ces fameuses créations. Y'shtola : Si nous voulions en faire autant, nos propres réserves n'y suffiraient pas. Nous serions obligés de puiser de l'énergie autre part : dans des cristaux par exemple, ou bien dans le flux éthéré. Y'shtola : Peu à peu, nous épuiserions les ressources de notre planète. Entre nos mains, cette magie créatrice deviendrait de fait une magie destructrice.
TRANSLATION:
Y'shtola: By the way, Urianger... The creative magic of the Amaurotines, in your opinion, what exactly is it? Urianger: From what I understand, it is a power that allows them to give substance to any concept. In other words, to shape the world. Urianger: It is not without reminding us of the rituals of summoning Primals taught by the Ascians, which are used to materialize divinities of various faiths. Y'shtola: That's what I thought. Y'shtola: Before the sundering of the world, humans possessed far greater magical resources than we do. Y'shtola: Enough to allow them to accomplish exploits that consume aetheral energy, like these famous creations. Y'shtola: If we wanted to do the same, our own reserves would not be enough. We would have to draw energy elsewhere: from crystals, for example, or from the Lifestream. Y'shtola: Gradually, we would exhaust the resources of our planet. In our hands, this creative magic would actually become destructive magic.

Hello! I have always wanted to say that I really enjoy your blog. I am very happy to be on the same team with you. Now, please tell me about your thoughts on the new teaser. In my opinion, the Westeros is threatened by ice(NK) from the north side and fire(Dany) from the south but both are stopped by frozen fire(dragonglass/Jon snow) in the middle.
Dear nonny,
thank you very much for the compliment! And I’m also happy I am on the Jonsa team. It’s a lovely part of the fandom with level-headed sensible people and a lot of creative engery that is mindblowing!
I got a second ask on the teaser, so I’ll bundle you together and give my thoughts on the teaser.
The teaser is interesting. Ice freezing a wolf and a dragon, fire engulfing a lion. It’s hard for me to pick up what they were even going for though. Whu would ice take over Starks and T@rgs while they’re facing a Lannister? The fire engulfing the lion I get, but what would a wolf and a dragon being frozen have to do the war against Cersei. Granted, we’ve seen a frozen Stark (Benjen) and a frozen dragon (V!serion) but not a burning Lannister. Cersei obvs, but maybe Tyrion too?             
So here are my thoughts : if one thing is made clear in the teaser it is that Westeros is threatened by ice and fire - which ties in very well with what several sensible people have said time and again. ‘A song of Ice and Fire’ is not meant romantically. Ice magic and Fire magic threaten to annihilate life in Westeros.
As for the direction of the threat we connect the wolves with the North, but the Lannisters are not really in the South, unless the Lion is Cersei and is King’s Landing. Also the fact that the fire does not start with the lion but engulfs the Lion would point towards the fact that Cersei is not the fire.
It is also interesting that Fire and Ice both stop once they meet each other. Now, this could mean that Fire magic (dragons) at least stops Ice magic (the WW), but it really looks as if the thing that stops both is the dragonglass/obsidian (which also seems to have it’s origin at the point were Ice and Fire meet). This would tie in with the idea that it is magical balance we need. The dragons (fire magic) have to die so that the ice magic will die as well.
So my take on the ice/fire thing is that the threat indeed might be stopped by something hitherto unseen or not yet revealed.
As for the wolf, the dragon and the lion: They’ve used these animals in the last teaser as well as stand-ins for the conflicting houses and it is interesting that on face -value Wolf and Dragon actually face the Lion. All three do not face the actual threat that comes for them, but Wolf and Dragon face the Lannister Lion. This seems to be the new alliance of Jon and Da€nerys, but it is interesting that they are still faced “south” when they should face the threat that comes for them. We the audience know that Cersei indeed stands against the Wolf and the Dragon because she does not intend to hold her end of the bargain struck at the parley, but Jon and Da€nerys do not know yet. The teaser makes me think that they might learn that sooner than later which means they refocus on the South again? If we take the Lion as a stand-in for King’s Landing it could also mean that King’s Landing will burn and Winterfell will be swarmed by WW - both entirely possible, while the dragon might be overwhelmed entirely by events - also quite possible.
So, they show the real threat to Westeros and reiterate the house struggles by letting the animals face each other, but it looks as though the threats will make the enmitiy of Stark/Targ against Lannister superfluous. It is interesting that the wolf is attacked by ice before the dragon is, which might mean, that we see WW action at Winterfell or in the North even before Jon and Da€nerys come to Winterfell. It is also interesting that the wolf is not entirely covered. As the second anon said, this might be an allusion to Benjen who kept his personality while the dragon covered fully might be Viserion. The burning Lannister must be in the future. This would fit to the chronological order: first Benjen, then Viserion and in season 8 Cersei? Tyrion?
Of course we might try to look for secret messages when they just wanted to make a cool teaser - which they did not manage all in all - I think it is a bit underwhelming.
What I think is interesting that we actually see fire as a threat here. If I remember correctly last seaon they teased the NK as the threat and this teaser woudl be the first to present fire as something dangerous. This is promising indeed. We have seen figurines of the House signs before, and we have seen the Ice threat, but not yet the fire threat.
I guess my thoughts are a bit jumbled at the moment, but I take Ice AND Fire as a threat from the teaser, remaining tension between the houses that gets drowned in more pressing problems, Winterfell attacked by WW, King’s Landing burning, the last full Targ dying (?), a possible allusion to Benjen and Viserion which would point to a Lannister being victim of Fire.
I would suggest you take a look @everythingjonsa and @nutellaninja0001 who also have posts about the teaser (with addition by the quick-thinking Jonsa fam) - at least these there the posts I saw this morning. Anyone feel free to add more in reblogs and notes!
Thanks for the asks! I saw more in the teaser than I initially thought was there to see. So as always I got ideas by responding to my nice anons!

legit my favorite of our probably many crossovers is with jaidyn being in muddy waters. she suits it so well and just the trio that is jaidyn, lucea, and serion is *chef’s kiss*
also a headcanon i thought of, i’m curious of what you think, is that after really just vibing and being kinda chaotic with serion and lucea and also dealing with the things of during the show, jaidyn joins lucea’s crew or at least has her own ship if she’s not able to join lucea or serion’s crew and spends her life as a pirate. when she’s not on a ship, she definitely vibes on driftmark because basically everywhere else just sucks
okay so first we start with the backstory because it is... i have more backstory than actual plot at the moment skskks.
just the absolute beauty of them all meeting at Cora and Loren's wedding (the Greyjoys were absolutely not invited, but Serion saw an opportunity to rob some rich people and jumped at it), but Lucea (as the bride's sister) and Jaidyn (as Loren's cousin) are very much invited.
when i say they are smol i mean like... 15ish.
anyway Lucea is a pirate first and foremost, she likes parties sure, but watching her sister be miserable over her marriage all night is just not what she wants to do.
however, the night starts to look up a little when she bumps into one of the younger Lannisters, Jaidyn, who truly looks so uncomfortable in her ballgown that even Lucea feels bad for her.
things are tense, though
and then they straight up just ditch it, Lucea suggests going to the harbour since that's where her fathers ships are and uh, she just really misses the water, Kings Landing makes her uneasy.
lo and behold, when they get there, there's this scruffy looking teenage boy who is absolutely trying to get onto the ship, and Lucea, more for the hell of it than to be useful decides to help him.
anyway this is very vague but her and Jaidyn essentially just spend the rest of the night chilling on the deck of this ship, Lucea got Jaidyn a change of clothes too.
Serion tells them his name but nothing more than that--he still might want to rob them some day, better to keep themselves on a first name basis, right? wrong.
the night ends, Lucea returns home to driftmark the following day, albeit their boat has picked up a stowaway of sorts, Jaidyn returns to Casterly Rock.
physically, I don't think Lucea sees Jaidyn much over the course of Aerys' decline into madness and the fall of the Targaryens, but she certainly sees Serion. both of them sent Jaidyn a shit ton of letters though, they loved to keep in contact.
anyway not enough Jaidyn content here, lets skip ahead to the show.
Lucea's brother Monford rules Driftmark in all the ways he thinks are important, she's running a full smuggling ring right under his nose because she refuses to see her as anything other than his little sister. Jaidyn, who at some point though neither of them could really tell you exactly when, had fallen into the role of both lover and best friend for Lucea.
and pirate Jaidyn is naturally a huge part of Lucea' lil smuggling ring. Lucea probably would have given her her own ship if it didn't come off a little suspicious, so naturally the closest thing she could do was put her on the same ship as Aurane Waters--Lucea's bastard half brother.
uh, Aurane and Jaidyn do not click, they clash a lot actually, but it doesn't matter because what can he really do to a Lannister? like, really?
why am i blanking so hard on plot points right now?? whatever it doesn't matter. Lucea and Jaidyn? just have the best vibes, even if Lucea has taken a much darker approach to life than Jaidyn has.
whatever the plot isn't important until the battle of the blackwater, at which point Jaidyn cannot legally be connected with the Velaryon's because they support Stannis. that does absolutely nothing to stop her from visiting Driftmark though. she's partially disowned at this point anyway.
uh I guess the next plot point ah look at that all the Velaryon men died during the Battle of the Blackwater so guess who's in charge of Driftmark now? that's right, lucea.
god this is actually very much terribly planned out imma just skip to the stuff i actually have planned.
point is, through all of this Lucea and Jaidyn are still as tight as ever, and honestly it probably worked out very well for both of them that they were never an official couple because Jaidyn found Pod, and Lucea is very much an embodiment of the line I can't get married for I'm married to the sea.
anyway in case you were wondering, Serion didn't die, he just uh, let's say he left. He left Westeros altogether in 289 AC for fear of taking part in Balon's Rebellion, and was for all intents and purposes disowned by his family because of this.
he's been having a good time, he got a boyfriend who is spiraling dangerously close to what some would consider a war criminal mindset, and he more or less adopted a kid. (for clarification I mean Jon Connington and Young Griff)
he does however make the return to Driftmark after so many years (even after leaving without so much as a letter to either Jaidyn or Lucea, which neither of them took well) for the sake of Young Griff and the fleet he will inevitably need.
this is around season seven, for context I guess.
also for context that I somehow missed, uh, there were some vibes between him and Jaidyn too.
anyway for the reasons of this ask Jaidyn is at Driftmark when he arrives and her and Lucea are just... absolutely floored to see him there because uh, what the fuck?
it's very much a bittersweet reunion, they've each moved on from the love they had in the past, but they still love each other. it hurts me on every level possible.
a n y w a y. at the end of the whole damn series Lucea basically turns Driftmark into what I guess most of Westeros would consider an incredibly scandalous place, think like, Lys, but really she just... does not care who people love. It has Nassau / Tortuga vibes, basically. Just follow her rules--which are few and far between--and she won't bother you.
anyway Jaidyn and Pod would thrive there, Serion would too if Jon wasn't so deadset on resuming his place as the Lord of Griffin's Roost.
this is very vague I'm realizing but uh, Getaway Car by Taylor Swift sums up the vibes of the development of this whole relationship. They personally have the exact same vibes as the Road to El Dorado trio. as demonstrated in this gif.

LLLi petition gains over 22,000 endorsers for IBFAN's statements
Latest news on sun setting see Policy Blog
We thank LLLi for this petition and the 22,000 endorsers for IBFAN’s statements on the Sunsetting of reporting on the Code and our Counter Call on the BMS Call to Action. We are pleased that since our meeting with WHO Assistant Director Dr Yamamoto, and senior staff we have been assured of WHO’s strong commitment to the Code and the protection of breastfeeding and its wish to work together with IBFAN for the protection of child health.  Dr Yamamoto stated that if the unintended consequence of a broader governance issue is implied as a lack of WHO’s support for the Code, that needs to be corrected.
We hope that Member States will agree with our analysis and the evident concern of so many and call for the Code should be treated as an exception.
Rough translations in English and French are below
LINK TO LLLi PETITION in Spanish
English translation:
Support IBFAN in opposition to decisions of WHO and UNICEF
We are facing the possibility of an event that seriously threatens the health of children in the world. Our responsibility to ensure compliance with the International Code of Marketing of Breast-milk Substitutes of the year 1981 and its subsequent resolutions, leads us to launch this petition, hoping that you will support us with your signature so that with force and determination it continues to protect, promote and supporting breastfeeding against any influence from the artificial milk formula industry that undermines the Code and results in preventable illness and death of infants and toddlers.
La Leche League International therefore expresses its support for the statement of the International Infant Feeding Action Network (IBFAN) in opposition to the Organization’s “Call to Action for Breast-milk Substitutes ′ ′ World Health Organization (WHO) and the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), which drastically deviates from the decisions made at the World Health Assembly for almost 40 years. This document gives formula producers 10 more years to continue to shamelessly and dangerously market their products, undermining women’s confidence in their body’s ability to feed their babies and misleading families as to the quality of their products. products; it only asks them to regulate themselves, which we know does not work since they put the interests of their shareholders above the health of newborns and newborns and the child population. Therefore, we ask for your support to stop this “Call to Action” of the formula industry and thus preserve the health and lives of our children around the world, even more so in this context of a pandemic in which inequity is accentuated. .
We hope that the time will come when the Code will not be necessary, because the infant feeding industry will have stopped all promotion of products that replace breastfeeding before it is safe or optimal for the child or mother, or that they lose breastfeeding. maternal completely. That moment has not come.
Likewise, we urge the WHO to reconsider decision EB146 (20) at the 75th World Health Assembly in 2022 and to reestablish the presentation of biennial reports on the progress in the implementation of the International Code worldwide beyond 2030, and continue to publish updates and clarifications in the form of biennial WHA resolutions. This periodic review of laws and regulations around the world helps protect all babies, regardless of how they feed, from harmful business practices. In contrast, the “twilight” of the International Code in 2022 will lead to man-made childhood deaths and infections and a long-term increase in non-communicable diseases.
LLLI shares the impatience many feel regarding the lack of progress towards the implementation of the International Code. We would welcome any real changes in the marketing strategies of the infant feeding industry that would remove the pressure to stop breastfeeding and save the lives of babies and mothers. Unfortunately, instead of offering real change, the Call to Action and decision EB146 (20) simply allow the formula industry to continue to behave in a way that violates the Code and achieves its purpose of increasing its sales with impunity

Soutenir l’IBFAN contre les décisions de l’OMS et de l’UNICEF
Nous sommes confrontés à la possibilité d’un événement qui menace gravement la santé des enfants dans le monde. Notre responsabilité d’assurer le respect du Code international de commercialisation des substituts du lait maternel de l’année 1981 et ses résolutions ultérieures, nous amène à lancer cette pétition, en espérant que vous nous soutiendrez avec votre signature afin qu’avec force et détermination on continue à protéger, promouvoir et soutenir l’allaitement contre toute influence de l’industrie des préparations à base de lait artificiel qui porte atteinte au Code et entraîne des maladies évitables et la mort des nourrissons et des tout-petits.
La Leche League International (LLLI) exprime donc son soutien à la déclaration de l’International Infant Feeding Action Network (IBFAN) en opposition à l ‘«Appel à l’action pour les substituts du lait maternel» signé par l’Organisation. Organisation mondiale de la santé (OMS) et le Fonds des Nations Unies pour l’Enfance (UNICEF), qui s’écarte radicalement des décisions prises à l’Assemblée mondiale de la Santé depuis près de 40 ans. Ce document donne aux producteurs de laits artificiels 10 ans de plus pour continuer à commercialiser sans vergogne et dangereusement leurs produits, sapant la confiance des femmes dans la capacité de leur corps à nourrir leurs bébés et induisant les familles en erreur quant à la qualité de leurs produits. Il leur demande seulement de s’autoréguler, ce qui, nous le savons, ne fonctionne pas car ils placent les intérêts de leurs actionnaires avant la santé des nouveau-nés et des jeunes enfants. Par conséquent, nous demandons votre soutien pour mettre fin à cet «Appel à l’action» de l’industrie des préparations et ainsi préserver la santé et la vie de nos enfants à travers le monde, en particulier dans ce contexte de pandémie où les inégalités sont accentuées.
Nous espérons que le moment viendra où le Code ne sera pas nécessaire, car l’industrie de l’alimentation infantile aura arrêté toute promotion de produits qui remplacent l’allaitement maternel avant qu’il ne soit sûr ou optimal pour l’enfant ou la mère, ou qu’ils perdent complètement l’allaitement maternel. Ce moment n’est pas arrivé. De même, nous exhortons l’OMS à reconsidérer la décision EB146 (20) lors de la 75e Assemblée mondiale de la Santé en 2022 et à rétablir la présentation de rapports biennaux sur les progrès de la mise en oeuvre du Code international dans le monde, au-delà de 2030, et continuer à publier des mises à jour et des clarifications sous la forme de résolutions biennales de l’AMS. Cet examen périodique des lois et réglementations dans le monde aide à protéger tous les bébés, quelle que soit la façon dont ils sont nourris, des pratiques commerciales néfastes. En revanche, le «crépuscule» du Code international en 2022 entraînera des infections et des décès infantiles d’origine humaine et une augmentation à long terme des maladies non transmissibles.
LLLI partage l’impatience que beaucoup ressentent face au manque de progrès vers la mise en oeuvre du Code international. Nous serions heureux de tout changement réel dans les stratégies de marketing de l’industrie de l’alimentation infantile qui éliminerait la pression pour arrêter l’allaitement et sauverait la vie des bébés et des mères. Malheureusement, au lieu d’offrir de réels changements, l’Appel à l’action et la décision EB146 (20) permettent simplement à l’industrie des laits artificiels de continuer à se comporter d’une manière qui viole le Code et atteint son objectif d’augmenter ses ventes en toute impunité.
