Amphitrite and Sally were lovers first before Poseidon joined them. They're in a polyamorous relationship, and that's how Persea was conceived. She's quite literally princess of the Seas because of this

Meanwhile, Persea thinks her cool godmother Trite is actually her mother's secret girlfriend with whom she cheats on Gaby, but Percy supports them and wishes the three of them could just run away and live all together.

thoughts about Laena and more

The statement “That show is disrespectful to its Black characters” is unfortunately applicable to almost every show ever broadcasted, which is a disheartening realization. In this instance, though, I’m talking about House of the Dragon. 

Laena's erasure from Rhaenyra's life to make room for a friendship between two white women that did not exist in the original source material. She is isolated from her family so that Daemon can be separated from Rhaenyra, which isn't what happened in the books. It's frustrating to watch Black characters isolated and used as plot devices.

The show's treatment of Baela and Rhaena is also problematic. There are inconsistencies in the plot, such as Daemon ignoring Rhaena even though he didn't have a dragon until later in life. Baela going to foster at Driftmark when it should be Luke and Rhaena. It's disappointing that we don't see more of Laena with her family on Driftmark or her claiming Vhagar.

Additionally, it's strange that Jaehaerys is depicted as white as snow when his mother was Black and his father was at least half Black based on show lore. The Targaryens have historically intermarried with the Velaryons, so they shouldn't be all white, at least not at this point in their history. It seems like the show may have made the Velaryons Black solely to push the Strong boys' narrative, without considering the wider implications. This is negligent at best and malicious at worst.

Imagine creating a backstory for your male and love interest character in which his sister and mother died brutally and horribly so that people would feel bad for this character (because he was the worst and disgusting asshole in the first book) and never talk about it again afterwards.

Did he really love his sister and his mother? Because his mother is mentioned some other time, but if I wouldn't have been in this fandom, I would have fucking forgotten that RHYSAND HAS A FUCKING SISTER!!

Dulce Vetro! Conficcare and Rametto's older half sister, as well as something of a glimpse at an alternate path that Celia's story could have taken. [tiny text & more info is in plain text under the read more]

Name taken from the poem & latin phrase "Dulce et Decorum est Pro patria mori"- although in her case she is told that it is sweet and honorable/fitting to 'die' for her family. this death is metaphorical, a death of self as her duty of care to her siblings consumes her identity and life. Vetro- 'Glass' is her mothers name, and thus the family name, however Conficcare & Rametto both reject this and use Conficcare as a last name.

Her stand, Blank Expression, furthers this 'death', as its power is draining emotions, leaving the person its used on apathetic and numb, although its offensive capabilities are mostly unknown as it is almost exclusively used on Dulce herself. It leaves pale blue markings behind after use, reminiscent of an eight petaled oxeye daisy, each petal symbolizing a member of her family.

text in the image:

Dulce Vetro is Conficcare & Ramettos older sister, left behind to raise their younger siblings while the two became breadwinners. She was the first daughter and was named in accordance with what was expected of her, Vetro being their mothers name that her brothers abandoned.

BLANK EXPRESSION, her stand, drains emotions like a leach, and is mostly used on herself. it leaves a mark similar to an 8 petaled daisy

Each petal stands for one of her family members: their mother; her two older brothers; her; Conficcare and then Rametto; and the two youngest. of this family, only her and the two youngest could truly be considered family, as their mother is neglectful, the two older brothers ran off to a better life, Conficcare distanced himself due to their mothers homophobia, and then to earn the family money, and eventually he took Rametto with him. only the two youngest stayed, and they are Dulces to raise and care for.

"The old Lie: Dulce et decorum est, Pro patria mori."

Latin phrase from the Roman poet Horace: “It is sweet and fitting to die for one’s country.”

Three Petals, three bun-curls, three remaining members of the family

i just think rebecca’s desire for motherhood and her infertility should’ve been more central to her arc

why is it so common for women to be treated like shit by their (male) partner’s family, like rip to y’alls grandma but mine would have never, my grandma was born to be a mum, she met my mum and she instantly had another daughter, like y’all grandmas were evil sorry to break it to you
