Hermes, Amon, or Fandaniel?

Why not all three?

“The man I was would weep for what I have become.” ~ Fandaniel

[gwenllian-in-the-abbey]

What do you think will happen to Rhaenyra? Do you believe that the show will depict her gradually turning into a villain or that it will always be she that is the true heir?

It seems to me that Rhaenyra and Alicent are on opposite trajectories, to where Alicent starts on sorrow and ends on rage, and Rhaenyra starts with rage and ends on sorrow.

The thing is, and Rhaenyra herself almost makes this point in episode 10 of season 1 although it's kind of glossed over a bit, that it doesn't actually matter who the "true heir" is. Tearing the realm apart over ambition is not the action of a queen who actually cares about peace and stability and yes, the stupid prophesy. The reason why Daemon chokes Rhaenyra is because she's considering the prophesy, and whether it might be worth making peace with the greens for the sake of keeping the realm intact to face the greater threat united (remember, the prophesy does not say Rhaenyra must sit the throne, it just says the Targaryen line must continue). Like, even if you believe Rhaenyra is the true heir, someone who puts the realm first is going to need to think about whether or not asserting her claim is worth throwing the realm into war, which includes risking the dragons. And at that point, the onus is on her to back down, and Rhaenyra knows this. She acknowledges it. Aegon has been crowned and anointed and holds King's Landing, and Otto has arrived with a pretty generous treaty offer (I want to talk, at some point, about how the offer of Dragonstone, which gets scoffed at a lot, is actually a really good one). Yes, it's unfair, but she saw the state her father was in and decided to fly off anyway so she was caught at the disadvantage and the greens got the jump on her. So actually considering the terms makes sense if they show wants to paint her as potentially a good ruler. She has to put the realm above her own ambitions if she's a good ruler. If she can't do that, does she have any business sitting the throne in the first place.

But then Aemond goes off and kills Luke and that all goes out the window. And here's the thing, at this point, although it would hurt, Rhaenyra still can back down. The greens are not going to make the next aggressive move, it's up to her, and so far there have been no pitched battles, the conflict is still a family conflict, and with Luke's death Rhaenyra can probably make some more demands. But the rage takes over (and this is understandable, don't get me wrong, who wants to treat with the family that's responsible for your son's death?). "Alicent's son sits on my throne," and "I mean to fight this war," she says to Jace, Baela, and a table full of dragonseeds, several of which who will end up betraying her. And I think in the S2 trailer, this is what Rhaenys is warning against. She says it very explicitly, "when the desire to kill and burn takes hold, and reason is forgotten, we will not even remember what began this war in the first place." Rhaenyra is, of course, not going to heed those warnings, because the desire to kill and burn has taken hold.

What I hope will happen is that we'll see Rhaenyra in her kill and burn era, and then she takes King's Landing. She's "won," she's the one sitting the throne and "Alicent's son" is missing, maybe dead for all she knows, it should be the triumphant capstone to all this rage and -- it feels empty. It doesn't bring her children back. Daemon's love turned out to be fickle, and she and her remaining children are living in the same keep where her nephew was killed by her husband's order, and her advisors don't seem to have her best interests at heart, but she's too beholden to say no to them. She doesn't feel safe, or secure, or triumphant. And now she has to govern, and the people show her no grace. While they cheered her arrival, now they blame her for their losses. It's not like being Lady of Dragonstone and she doesn't know how to do this, how to manage this realm and fight this war and keep more of her children from dying. This, I think, is where it turns to sorrow for Rhaenyra. Because it turns out it was all empty. In fact, it's just as Rhaenys warned, she can't even remember why it was so important to sit the throne in the first place, but it's too late now. Even if she wanted to end the conflict, she couldn't. When she flees, she flees to Dragonstone because it's the one place that still feels safe. Maybe she can go home, regroup. Let Aegon III get a bit older. Maybe her allies will come. Maybe she can hatch a new dragon. But it's too late. Even her death doesn't stop it, her supporters literally keep on fighting after she's dead, such is the extent to which the fighting has spiraled out of both Aegon and Rhaenyra's control.

If I was writing the show from this point on, this is what I'd do with Rhaenyra. I'd also be working hard to disabuse the viewership of the notion that asserting your position as the "rightful heir" is something that's worth sacrificing all those lives. Like, one of the issues with OG GoT was that D&D failed to do this. Instead they had people anticipating Dany's triumphant return for 8 seasons and then when her story turned tragic at what felt like the last moment, people felt cheated. HotD has to do a better job with the tragedy of Rhaenyra's character, because the tragedy is not that she had her throne stolen, it's that her house cannibalized itself, ended the dragons, and threw the realm into chaos and destruction over a conflict that was ultimately meaningless.

jealousy at best. Wanderer x reader

modern au.

We all know "wanderer" is the jealous type he's not to fond of other people getting too friendly with you, So of course it's going to drive him Up a wall when the Cafe Worker was clearly flirting with you. The Cafe worker had served you both your orders, you had the strawberry shortcake and "wanderer" ordered a simple coffee "wanderer" seemed a bit tense as the cafe worker brought over your order. smiling at you for a moment too long before darting away to fix up "wanderers" coffee "wanderer" noticed this but said nothing, after "wanderer got his simple coffee the cafe worker continued coming back to the table every so often to give you looks or flirt a little, clearly not caring that "wanderer" was sitting right next to you. The cafe worker's flirtatious behavior seemed to bother "wanderer" more and more, his frown deepening every time the cafe worker came around. "Wanderer" didn't know if he was mad you hadn't noticed at all or to just be mad at the Cafe worker, of course he couldn't be mad at you. You're his adorable and innocent s/o who had no clue the cafe worker was trying to hit on you so with you no but he had enough with the cafe worker. The next time the Cafe worker came over the Cafe worker asked if the shortcake you ordered was to your liking before boasting about how he made it and what the recipe was. Yep That was it "wanderer looked at you and then the strawberry shortcake and then the cafe worker before looking back at you, it can't be that good can it? Wanderer asked innocently resting his hands at the bottom of his chin. it is though wanna try? You asked, you had unknowingly taken wanderers bait and he was glad about it you scooped a bit with your spoon handing it to him wanderer had taking your hand lightly and had pulled you into a kiss before backing of licking his lips, you dropped the spoon blushing and surprised at his action. The cafe worker was stunned and now had a gloom to his face "wanderer" looked at the Cafe worker and smirked "wow hey that really is good I might order some, in fact we'd like two strawberry shortcakes to go please" he said with a smug grin on his face. That'll tell that cafe worker to back off. Of course Your still confused to why"name" did that.

When Choso first met you he wasn’t sure how he should’ve felt. Was he supposed to feel like a human or a curse? But one thing Choso was sure about was that he felt happy next to you, and it didn’t matter what he was, a human or a curse, you had accepted him wholly and loved and cherish every part of him.

// Cw gore, cannibalism (he is metaphorically eating himself!) also disembowelment ?

Tear into your pitiful past self. Chew through the unpleasant gristle of your naivety. Swallow the warm organs of your discarded affections and gnaw on the soaked bones of misplaced trust. Choke on your hair that you were so proud of. Devour it all until there’s nothing left. No one else will want that. Get rid of it, be full.

…you’re still hungry?

Aka killing the part of you that got hurt (but make it really really cool and metal)

How do you think cageblinds dynamic would be if they miraculously met?

this is just my own take but I think they would have some sort of friendly rivalry and bantering at the same time they respect each other, and really terrifying when working together

and idk I think they would be really cute together since they would be those annoying power couples but they actually care and love about each other 😭😭

Tumblr is so funny like sometimes i’ll get a notification on tumblr from my friend and I just sit there as it says “mutuals!” next to their name & im just like “yeah I don’t think “mutuals” is the proper term for the person I would fucking die for and would give the world to” lmao
