Zayne is 6'1.....

I am 5'1 (yes I'm short 🥲)

So Zayne is a full foot taller than me....

.....That's about 30.5 cm.....

.....that's the same length as a ruler....

....which means my head would reach below his shoulders......🤔

.....so I'm at the perfect height to just-

I've never been so happy to be short ☺️

Back at it again with my delusions

[shower-phantom-ideas]

Child Danny by degree of the eyeguys to have him at peak power for the future but he somehow gets forced to live with Wes Weston.

Wes forced to adopt Danny is the funniest shit. Spent his life trying to out the guy now hes legally responsible for the guy. Whos very smug for someone who can’t even use the coffee pot.

Danny isnt too happy to be forced back to a 6 year old. His new slightly more emotional body is maybe acting out a little ok sue him.

Wes is now so torn between finally being able to prove himself right and keeping his now ?child? Safe.

Danny btw still denies being anything but a normal guy.

a few days ago i had the idea of a hypothetical rewrite of tbc where instead of rootspring existing at all tree was just part of the pov roster for at least half the arc if not all of it. the arc loses a bit of its ‘stupid kids trying to solve a ghost mystery’ charm but rootspring is made so painfully redundant by his own dad in terms of taking action in the plot and his romance with bristlefrost is very fucking nothing. like i think a tree pov would work nicely following avos’ very sudden introduction of him and you have a very easy arc set out for him like Yuuuup this guy who’s very passive and hardly doing his job becoming a bit more hardened in the face of a catastrophe that affects him ie the ghosts. and i think if instead of the somewhat abysmal pacing of tpons and alitm with 3 characters hopping in and out of the dark forest they just had shadowsight and bristlefrost exploring the area slowly while tree kind of just runs errands and operates as a camera in the living world that’s got a bit more meat on the bone. if he’s even really needed by the back half of the arc like even just cutting the perspectives down by one would be great. uhhh and i think focusing on bristlefrost and shadowsight as foils to one another with their people-pleasing and it getting them into trouble/high esteem simultaneously would be way stronger than ???? whatever rootspring talked about with either of them. you can even do a dovewing-ivypool parallel thing for that big nostalgia. and considering how the tbc trio has such a weak bond outside of certain pairs i think replacing rootspring’s nothingburger relationships with tree applying himself as like. a defensive authority figure to these way more vulnerable kids would both be a more interesting dynamic and also yet again accelerate his arc into a ‘oh i have to do things for others even if they don’t affect me’ type ordeal. it just idea

Op… you make a lot of interesting claims in this post. To get the facts straight before I go on a rant… 1) George claims that Rhaegar was a love struck prince 2) the books don’t mention anything about any marriages being annulled/anyone being set aside 3) seems like Dorne has no issue with Rhaegar and 4) Ned literally never thinks anything bad about Rhaegar… but thinks ill of Robert.

First off, a man trapped in a duty bound marriage and finding love outside that marriage is completely different from a whoremonger shouting about his love while visiting brothels whenever he could. And guess what… Ned straight up thinks that Rhaegar didn’t seem like someone who’d visit brothels. Robert and Rhaegar couldn’t be any more different.

And when did Lyanna want to be wild and free? When is it ever said that Rhaegar locked her in the tower of joy and that Lyanna was a prisoner?

Ned never even alludes to there being any truth in any of these claims. What we do know is that Lyanna greatly resembles Arya in looks and personality… and Arya wants to be a high septon and kings counselor, meaning Arya wants to have a position of power and not be reduced to a baby making machine. Going off of that… it seems like Lyanna didn’t want to be “wild and free,” she just wanted to be treated with respect. The only reason Arya is even treated like she’s wild is because she doesn’t conform to the Westerosi standards for highborn women.

And of course she’d feel miserable when she heard Aerys killed her brother and father. Aerys. Not Rhaegar. I wouldn’t even be surprised if she felt guilt about what happened, but in the end it was Aerys who brutally killed them. And then Rhaegar goes to protect his family and dies, and then Rhaegar’s family is brutally killed and then Lyanna dies. George did claim that the greatest love stories are the tragedies (i may be misremembering but i know he said something along the lines of that lmao).

Op, you claim that Rhaelyas love would’ve died after getting news of the Starks deaths, and then you try to suggest that Rhaegar may have been keeping Lyanna isolated from news in Dorne… like please pick a story to go with! And Rhaelyas love dying or Lyanna not being kept updated on what was going on outside of Dorne just doesn’t seem to be true. When reading Neds chapters, it seems like Lyanna was fully aware of what happened to Rhaegar’s children and Elia… as Lyanna pleaded with Ned like how Sansa pleaded with Ned to not kill Lady (hope i’m not misremembering here lol). And Rhaegar dying with a woman’s name on his lips (likely Lyanna’s name) and Lyanna clutching a winter rose (this may just be symbolism for baby Jon tbh) until she passed away seems to contradict your belief that their love died.

Also, where are you getting the “Rhaegar would suggest to set aside his kids and wife to marry Lyanna” from? The show? You mention how Lyanna would not be okay with this, and I agree that Lyanna would never be fine with setting Elia and Elia’s children aside. But even thinking that Rhaegar would ever even suggest setting aside Elia and his children is bonkers. Like seriously… there was so much tension between Aerys and Rhaegar that the Royal court was said to have begun looking like the situation before the Dance of the Dragons. And Dorne was Rhaegar’s greatest support! Why would it make any sense for him to annul his marriage with Elia? And please remember that during the sack Rhaenys hid under her fathers bed. The text supports him loving his kids/his child who wasn’t a baby seeking to be protected by him so why would he endanger them and their positions? (and no, disappearing with Lyanna for awhile isn’t him endangering his family. Aerys was the one who endangered his family (hot take brandon was the one who endangered the starks like wth was he thinking???). and tbh it seems like Aerys knew exactly where to find Rhaegar so did Rhaegar and Lyanna even disappear? or were they just keeping their location a secret from the rebels? the rebels who ended up killing Rhaegar’s family?)

I will say that how op first started to characterize Lyanna is something I agree with, her being principled, noble, honorable, and just with a sensitive side seems to be true, but then op goes on to continue to claim that Lyanna was wild and that she had little regard as to how other people perceived her. There’s no reason for us to believe that she didn’t care about what others thought of her or that she was wild and wanted freedom more than anything, it just seems like she dared to tread away from what was expected of Westerosi highborn women and that she didn’t want to be married to Robert. And guess what… Robert ended up being an abuser! *gasp* Lyanna dear… you clocked Robert right away.

And seriously… how does any of what op mentioned back up their claim that Lyanna would never resign herself to the position of a mistress? Is being a mistress/paramour really that bad? Does it truly seem like Lyanna would look down on those women? Her mini me Arya doesn’t look down on the courtesans of Braavos who occupy a similar position as mistresses in society. And it seems like plenty of noblewomen have been mistresses in the past and they are still as respected as a woman can be in Westerosi society. Missy Blackwood and Elaena Targaryen are right there. And Op, if Lyanna was Rhaegar’s mistress, why would you think that Lyanna couldn’t have been happy? Are we going to doubt Ellarias happiness and her love of Oberyn because they weren’t married? Should I doubt Rhaenyra and Harwins happiness because Rhaenyra was married to Laenor? Rhaegar and Elias marriage was not a love match. And if Rhaegar and Lyanna did marry… ever wonder if polygamy was introduced as a Valyrian practice by George to hint at Rhaegar taking a second wife? Should I now doubt Rhaenys and Aegons happiness and love because Rhaenys was Aegons second wife?

Now can we please stop acting like two people married due to duty have any reason to love each other? Nedcat seems to be an exception in Westeros. Lyanna and Rhaegar falling in love isn’t ruining Elia and Rhaegar’s marriage when love wasn’t there in the first place.

haha my whole post is a bit messy i just wanted to get my thoughts out :)

fuckkkk i want to tag more (my tags are a mess lmao no i’ve not gone through them and no they will not make any sense)

I was looking through various trainers PWT-teams, and made an interesting discovery - Crispin shares half of his team with Flannery for some reason and Drayton is somehow even worse in this regard, sharing 2/3 of his team with Lance.

Sure, they have different movesets and items, the battles are in a completely different format, it likely means nothing at the end, but it still stuck into my mind. Like let's imagine for a moment that it does mean something - with Drayton, one could just chug it into him being lazy and copying most of his team from someone he not only idolizes, but has proven that said team works. It could also possibly imply that his Archaludon and Sceptile were some of his first Pokemon, but that's a topic for another time. Crispin honestly has no excuse for copying Flannery though

Te’an Trea - the ancient language

In the world of my story, or rather in one of its realms, there’s an ancient language called Te’an Trea - the language of trees.

Like the name says, Te’an trea is inspired by the “language” of the trees, the whispering of the wind as it dances through their leaves.

Legend says that the trees themselves taught the people how to speak their language. Of course, the trees make sounds that people could never pronounce, so the language can be seen as an interpretation of their song.

It’s not actively spoken, not anymore, at least. Way back it was a quite common language, with many people understanding or speaking it, either as their first or second language.

The wild fae folk was fond of the language especially. They already knew it before the fair fae even existed, so it’s not surprising. Many of their clans still teach the ancient language.

However, nowadays it is only used for magical and/or religious purposes, as well as poetry. Priests are among the few fae that still learn to speak the language and some people study it at the Keeper temples but it’s become a quite rare tongue.

Rare, but never truly forgotten. The fae still use some of the ancient language’s words in their daily life and talking. Their months, feasts and seasons for example are still referred to by their ancient words. Old terms of endearment are still quite popular, as well as some honorifics.

And, of course, prayers and little spells. You could pretty much call Te’an Trea a spiritual language in these days. Both fair and wild fae use it and treat it and the people who speak it with great respect.

Something that is connected to the old language and still quite common nowadays are runes. Many important words of Te’an Trea also have a rune, a symbol that holds a certain meaning -and a certain power.

They’re still taught. Rune reading is considered a religious practice as well as a fun activity. Also, the fae carve runes into their weapons and other important things to bless them or give them a certain kind of protection/power.

Here are some words in Te’an Trea that are still quite relevant:

ahnra - Soul

an’dra - Nature

a’laen - Child

criah - Heart

dhaia - Goddess

dha’ir - God-Chosen

di’ann - Folk

fhlira - Flower

fiah’sghea - Wild Hunt

fio’sheal - Seer

gheal - Moon

ghir’nan - Stars

ghri’an - Sun

m’haistir - Teacher

soira - Mind

trea - Tree

thal - Earth

Bonus: An’laen and Tre’laen = old names for wild and fair fae. An’laen basically means “children of nature” while Tre’laen means “children of (the) trees”

I fell out of a tree a couple hours ago. The whole interaction between me and my mom and the lady whose house we were at was funny to me so I’m gonna draw it tomorrow if I have time. Maybe Monday if I don’t
