#dad would approve

Just thought I should let you all know that I have temporarily taken my Dan and Phil calendar off the wall because it’s the only spot I can get close enough to eavesdrop on my housemates to find out when they’re moving out. Hope @amazingphil would approve.

(It will be put back up immediately after)

Got some mixed feelings about the Striker is Satan’s son theory circulating around rn LMAO

Also the fact this has all started from a single silhouette of this man is very funny

This is just a thought experiment because I always toy with what-ifs like this and dabble in exploring it through fic, so I come to you because you understand the world better...

What could have happened (show events obviously) if, on hearing that Daemon and Rhaenyra got married and suspecting them of conspiring to murder Laenor, Rhaenys went to Viserys (privately) and threatened to publicly accuse Daemon and Rhaenyra of the murder as well as disinheriting all of Rhaenyra's sons from the Driftmark line of succession IF Viserys didn't a) dissolve or undo the marriage, b) banish Daemon and c) give House Velaryon custody of Baela and Rhaena? And she has Corlys's support in all of this, she's not doing it behind his back. She's just taking the lead.

that's interesting.

because okay. having a bunch of velaryons get their tongues ripped out is one thing. but the kinslaying thing is serious here, and rhaenys is also much smarter than the silent five - she's not waiting years to do this, and she's talking to him privately rather than calling Rhaenyra a whore in public (and like. sidebar bitching but i see people say like "they added vaemond calling her a whore to-" yeah yeah sure but the thing is no matter how he phrases it, he's implying she's a whore guys. why do we keep forgetting that they're all implying that she's a treasonous whore in public jfc). rhaenys & corlys are also the main branch which is more than you can say for vaemond and his family - they're not jockeying to become the main branch, they're pretty rightly annoyed by how the main velaryon branch has been treated by their overlords. big difference here in approach to the problem.

hmmm. so several things. firstly, if rhaenys approaches this more as "fuck daemon" i do think she's likely to get more traction there than if she approaches it as "fuck daemon and FUCK your daughter too." she's also just making a smarter argument - not "give me driftmark over rhaenyra's kids" (which is stupid) but "i think daemon & rhaenyra murdered my goddamn son" (which is a legit reason to be upset). i think if she brings this less as a conspiracy and has a bit of proof - or "proof" as it were - that might help as well. ALSO also the fact that she's not moving to disinherit the boys - she's saying she'll let them stay in the line of succession BUT she wants the girls, and she wants daemon gone. really framing this not as a move against rhaenyra (and therefore against viserys) but as a move against daemon. i mean take otto for an example - because he frames the brothel escapade as somehting bad rhaenyra has done, viserys goes on the defensive immediately. here, because rhaenys isn't clearly jockeying to get rhaenyra disinherited, he might not react badly.

HOWEVER. Viserys is known for reacting badly when it comes to Rhaenyra! He takes it as an insult to himself (he's not wrong) or questioning of his judgement (again, not wrong). And of course he's particularly defensive about the kids because of the implication that Rhaenyra is committing high treason and should be executed for it. Because Rhaenys comes at this not from the PoV of "disinherit Rhaenyra for Aegon" or even "disinherit Lucerys for Baela/Rhaena" but solely on a "get Daemon OUT OF MY HOUSE and give me my granddaughters" she can really stick to her guns there that she's not saying anything about Viserys' judgement or Rhaenyra's. But I mean she is saying something about Rhaenyra's judgement inherently here by implying Rhaenyra had a hand in Laenor's death.

When you look at the Driftmark brawl, or the final dinner, in general what Viserys wants is for people to stop fighting with him. And considering Viserys is not particularly pleased with the Daemyra marriage in book canon (until, iirc, they have a kid and then like any grandpa/uncle he's just kind of happy they're having babies), and we get that time skip so we don't know for sure how Viserys reacts + Daemon rejects Viserys' offer to come home at Laena's funeral....see, I think he'd play ball with the Daemon exiling but once she mentions the boys he's going to get defensive and tongue chopping happy. especially post driftmark brawl, where he's prickly about the boys - it's possible he says something like "well if you want custody of the girls why don't you want custody of lucerys, he IS corlys' heir after all" and depending on how she responds to that, she might get what she want - which is Daemon exiled and custody of the girls - or he might bar her from the capital, which is going to kick off a minor political crisis.

christ alive I love my parents and I'm glad I got to see them but they are just. so fucking exhausting

[spacebugarts]

Just rembered that Stiles' grandfather is canonically named Elias and I'm just... why would they name Derek's son Eli? Why make him so sarcastic and similar to Stiles, distinctly mention him PASSING OUT at the sight if his fangs, give him that strangely close relationship with the Sheriff, and even go as far as to have Stilinski PERSONALLY GIVE HIM THE JEEP???

At what point does it no longer count as subtext?

[goatsghost]

also as a repeated wyll romancer, the patch 7 update has actually managed to make wyll’s character moments even worse than before?there’s now a glitch with his greetings, where it will automatically give his negative approval line (“you’ve got something to say?”), no matter how high your actual approval with him

at first i was excited to hear a new line from him, only to later realize the tone he used with it

we've all seen concepts where shen yuan is shen jiu's brother or son and he massively disapproves of binghe, but what about the reverse. tianjiu au where shen jiu sees shen yuan and is like "who is this scrawny little nerd that is absorbing my stepson's attention. I need to ruin his life."

I want a dlc of purely just Tav/durge trying to win over Tara after moving in with Gale. If your wondering, your approval score each week is relayed to you by Withers after Tara, Mama Dekarios, and him have their weekly tea sessions.

Seeing the words 'jason fighting crime w the batfam' makes me turn red w anger. Like his whole fucking point in utrh is that you can't defeat crime!! Batman's methods DON'T work!!! You can't defeat crime, you can only control it!!! His whole fucking point is that he's broken away from Bruce's ideals, Bruce's ways, Bruce's opinions and plans and now he's doing things his way. And then you just discard everything interesting about the Red Hood for the purposes of having him be part of the Batfam and it's infuriating!!!

Worst feeling is going on Etsy and seeing the cutest Baldur's Gate companion merch only to not see a Wyll option

!!!! Like why do you have a cute ass key chain for Halsin but not Wyll !!!!

!!!! Like Wyll is one of the easier to meet companions, you meet him pretty early on !!!!

!!!! Why is he constantly left out of companion themed fan merch !!!!

((we both know the answer as to why he's constantly left out - say it with me - fandom racism / anti-blackness))
