I love how every recent 'the impossible heir' YouTube short with Inha has reactions like, "Oh my god! So it was Inha all along?!", "Inha is the one who did this to Taeoh?!", "So Inha never really liked Hyewon at all?!", "He only liked Hyewon because of Taeoh?!", "So Inha turned villain and did this to the person who got him this far?!?!".
And then there's us on Tumblr who had predicted this is exactly what would happen since the first two episodes dropped.
I mentioned it in the thread and on twt, but I'd also like to take the time to clear this up for anyone who's familiar with my work on tumblr:
yes, jeanpiku is my otp, but it is 100% ok with me if you personally don't like it. I think what's important is to remember that there's a way to disagree with someone's opinion and have a discussion without being rude and disrespectful.
plus we don't always have to share the same opinions in order to get along! as long as you're not a jerk about it and we can talk in a civil manner, then it's all well and good. I have friends I'm close to that don't ship jeanpiku at all, and at least 2 friends that outright hate it. and that's fine! as long as you're kind and we vibe, that's truly all that matters. (plus there are many other things we can talk about and bond over that aren't jeanpiku, yk? 🤷🏻♀️)
so anyway, yes. if you're reading this, whether you ship jeanpiku or not—as long as you're respectful to people, then we're good. <3 at the end of the day, there are more important things that matter over shipping anyway.
yk what grinds MY gears the most about "tiktok censorship" that i havent seen ANYONE on here talk about... is the fact that tiktok and apps in general even do censorship. like hello?!?!? how can that not be something anyone sees or talks about?! they are the ones who makes people feel and be forced to censor themselves because if they dont they get punished in some way for it! like HELLOOOOOO?!? why cant anyone see what i see??? this is why the world is fucked. people are too stupid and only focus on the wrong things. the fact that we have a world where all states have the power and control to do something like this is the problem! not that some teenager who doesnt wanna lose their following on tiktok uses "sewerslide" bc if they write suicide tiktok will delete their video! like even when i used twitter, i got my entire fucking account suspended for using words as suicide rape death and kill etc etc. that's crazy!!! ofc i will start censoring so i wont lose my account. we need to focus on the apps and authorities that make us censor.
it’s been a while since i last saw this take but to this day i still can’t fathom where the notion of “damen was a spoiled prince who shirked his duties in order to have fun with his slaves so kastor was forced to pick up after him” even came from… like is there any piece of evidence pointing at this in canon? damen… shirked his duties… the same damen who commanded armies at seventeen…
Honestly, Inha would have been WAYYY less fucked up if Taeoh had taken time out of all that planning and plotting and railed Inha's ass like he deserved.
1) Rhaenyra was always beautiful even as a child. When men started taking notice of her changing looks and begun approaching her at court to share a dance or to offer her a talk, little Aegon would go and roar at any lord, thinking he could mimic the dragons and scare men away from his sister
2) Little Aegon likes to throw things and when they break fast, food becomes a weapon. His sister is the closest and most approachable target, which results in a lot of... vocal arguments let's say. While child Rhaenyra is considered old enough to know better than to childishly toss food she's not hesitant to tag Aegon's hair as a punishment - which leads to a screaming match. Both of them have strong lungs 😭
3) Originally little Aegon wanted to name his dragon after a Valyrian God but Rhaenyra teased him about copying her and he held a grudge so he decided to make up his own name.
4) He once stole a perfume their uncle Daemon had gifted Rhaenyra from Lys because he liked the scent of it. Accusations were made and of course they were all denied so she had to write to Daemon about sending her another one (he ended up stealing that too)
5) Both of them are constantly told to reread The Seven-Pointed Star when they misbehave. Both of them find ways to not do it
6) While she tried to stay away from baby Aegon any time he threw a fit. She loved it when he slept in her arms. He was such an energetic baby, so falling asleep wasn't too hard once he was finally drained
7) Rhaenyra is made to read a lot of books to be properly educated in her responsibilities as a heir, but little Aegon gives her the opportunity to go back to her favorite old books that were fairytale stories of their ancestors and old valyria. Rhaenyra is a very dedicated reader and makes the best funny voices - which results her to being the best storyteller in little Aegon's opinion.
8) Rhaenyra flew with Aegon on her Syrax when he was a baby. She wanted to honor the Targaryen tradition her grandmother did (when she took her father and uncle on her dragon as soon as they were born) and since her father's dragon is dead and Alicent doesn't have one, she thought she was the one who should do it. Safe to say Alicent was not happy about this. But baby Aegon and little Rhaenyra had a blast.
I heard that Edward IV and Elizabeth Widvile were known to be very beautiful. Were there any reports on their appearance at the time?
anon 😂
But yes, contemporaries and post contemporaries in the 16th century were pretty much unanimous in praising their appearance. I'll list some of the ones I could find:
Elizabeth:
'The most beautiful woman in England' ('la plus belle fille d'Engleterre') - Jean de Waurin
'Her very great beauty' ('sa tres grande beaute') - Jean de Waurin
"Her beauty of person and charm of manner" - Dominic Mancini
"None of such constant womanhood, wisdom and beauty" - Hearne's Fragment; its author was one of Edward IV's servants
"A daughter of prodigious beauty' - 1469 Continuator of Monstrelet's Chronicle
"Both faire, of a good favor, moderate of stature, well made and very wise" - Thomas More
Edward IV:
"The beauty of your personage it hath pleased Almighty God to send you" - James Strangways, Speaker of the Commons in Parliament
"The king is a handsome upstanding man" - Gabriel Tretzel, travels of Leo of Rozmital
"A handsome prince and had style" - Oliver De La Marche
"In the flower of his age, tall of stature, elegant of person" - Croyland Chronicle
"One of the handsomest knights of his kingdom" - 1469 Continuator of Monstrelet's Chronicle
"A handsome and worthy prince" - Pietro Alipranto
‘...Tall and strapping as the king’ - John Paston, Paston Letters
"He was young and more handsome than any man then alive" - Philippe de Commynes
"A man so vigorous and handsome that he might have been made for the pleasures of the flesh" - Philippe de Commynes
"The handsomest prince my eyes ever beheld" and "I don't remember ever having seen a man more handsome than he was" - Philippe de Commynes
"A very handsome prince" - Louis XI, from the Memoirs of Commynes
"He being a person of most elegant appearance, and remarkable beyond all others for the attractions of his person" - the Croyland Chronicle, referencing Edward a few months before he died
"He seized any opportunity that the occasion offered of revealing his fine stature more protractedly and more evidently to onlookers" - Dominic Mancini, writing shortly after his death
"He was a goodly personage and very princely to behold...of visage lovely, of body mighty, strong and cleanly made; howbeit in his latter days, with an over liberal diet, somewhat corpulent, but nevertheless noy uncomely" - Thomas More
Etc.
I'm tagging @edwardslovelyelizabeth because I think you got a similar ask?
I hope this answers your question, anon! I don't generally pay a lot of attention to the physical appearance of historical figures (I find it pretty irrelevant), but in this case, it ultimately does play a role in both Edward IV and Elizabeth's historiographies for better and for worse, and seems to have actually been a personal prop of Edward's kingship, so I don't mind discussing it :)
i need ur opinion on hurricane from hamilton rn cuz i have seen ppl say they hate it and i need to know
same omg the amount of people I've seen that said hurricane was a skip is crazy 🧍🏻♀️ as for me though, I don't really hate it but it's not one of my favs either + personally I think the song only got interesting midway starting with the lyric "I wrote Eliza love letters until she fell" up until the end 🙏🏼
THE TRANSITION FROM HURRICANE TO THE REYNOLDS PAMPHLET THOUGH THAT SLAPS!!!! but I have to say, my fav part of the song was when burr started singing along too with his "wait for it" AAAAGH GOOSEBUMPS FR‼️
actually now that I think about it the brothel scenes can be viewed in another way. all they’re doing is kissing and then colin’s like oop im late! this sucks but I gotta go! like did they even fuck or….
Idk exactly what it is about this photo but it just makes me so happy. I feel like I actually look small. Idk I just feel like you can see the bones on my hands and they’re not covered in a layer of fat.
Plus there’s a cat! And cats also make me happy :)
