Would you ever consider writing a chapter for FMO where we get to see the courtship between reader and Aemond?
Not a full chapter but I did poll you guys about if you wanted to see reader and Aemond pre daella or pre marriage. Pre marriage won. I wrote something small and just transferred it here
New Beginnings
There had been a heatwave in the King’s Landing. Surprising warm days rolled through and left everyone miserable in their wake. Workers in the castles had even gone as far to limit candle usage. There was a light reprieve when the sun began to set. The halls of the Red Keep dim, but at least cooler than usual.
Helaena’s chamber sat on the opposite side of yours. The only light that illuminated through the hall was the hand held candle basket in your hand.
“What did I tell Helaena and you about wandering the halls alone.”
The voice made you bite a smile. Aemond scolds like a mother. Stern and sure ; you are sure he got it from the Queen.
“And we told you that you need to respect your elders’ wishes,” you turn to find Aemond to find him in dark leather and silk. Riding gloves being taken off.
You always heard that romantic feelings are marked by butterflies in the stomach. Often it feels like ants are ravaging your insides around Aemond. It only started recently when Alicent insisted you break your fast with her every fifth day of the week. The queen, who you normally see as subtle and measured was anything but when you walked into her apartments to find her… and her son.
The writing is on the wall.
Your mother even went as far to send you new dresses when you casually mentioned it in a letter. Sweetling, you must look your best for the occasion.
Sometimes you find yourself out of your own body, watching yourself interact with him. Hyperaware of the way you look and hold yourself. Self consciously, your free hand goes to your hair. Jaehaerys found pleasure in tugging on anything he could her his hands on. Clothes, hair, limbs.
There had been walks around the castle, dinners with just the two of you, and a exchanging of literature.
“Did you know that Sealord of Braavos owns an animal that is said to be spotted horse but with a long neck,” the question made you laugh. He asked so earnestly. You narrow your eyes a bit.
“You made that up.”
He holds his hands up in innocence. “I read it. And just for that I am not going to give you the book on flowers ingenuous to Westeros.”
He begins to walk away, and you know it is in jest, but your eyes widen. You really want that book.
“Fine, I believe you,” you say quickly, grabbing his arm. “Can please get the book?”
You give him an exaggerated pout, and he rolls his eye.
“Since you asked kindly.”
He continues to walk with the expectations to follow him. You can’t help but think about what would court would think if they saw the two of you now. So close, and at this hour. Tongues would wag about what you up to.
The one eyed prince and his harlot.
Aemond’s study is how you expected it to be. Shelves filled to the brim with books and scrolls. Desk perfectly neat. It makes you wonder what the inside of his chambers looks like. He searches for the book while you take deep inspection of the room. You notice the sword in the corner. The silvery handle reflecting even in the dim lighting of the room
He turns with a large brown on in his hand. Before you can reach for it, he pulls it close to his chest.
“I will give it to you on one condition. The next time I go riding, you come with me.”
The proposition takes you by surprise. Dragons are always a sore spot for you. Despite knowing each other for moons, you just recently was introduced to Helaena’s dragon, Dreamfyre. The sentient beast had a temperament like her rider. Pensive and sweet on most occasions, but absolutely did not want to be bothered when upset. Luckily for you, it was a good day for the dragon. Even then, her size terrified you. The idea of being in front of the biggest one in the world make your stomach churn.
But you knew how important Vhagar is to Aemond. If he wanted you to meet her, that must mean something. So, you nod slowly.
“She will like you,” he give you a reassured look, and hands over the book.
Your fingers brushes when he hands it over, he leans down a bit and for a moment you think he is going to kiss you. But the moment is cut short by a startling crack of lighting, following by rumbling thunder. The two of you jump, backing up steps.
Water begins to splatter against the window in the study. You smile at the sight.
“Back home, it is said that rain after long heat is good luck. A sign of new beginnings.”
Aemond stares at you with a look on his face you can’t quite expain. He nods softly.
“To new beginnings.”
Aemond stares at you with a look you don’t know how to descibe.
“To new beginnings then.”
“Well, to new beginnings.”
#the way they could’ve been everything you guys naurrrr#also them not knowing what a giraffe is lmaooo#fool me once asks#fmo headcanons#aemond targaryen imagine#aemond x reader

endless love!
[ID Two drawing collage pages of Vash and Wolfwood from Trigun Maximum. In the first collage, top corner, Wolfwood looks upwards disgruntled with a flushed expression, lying against a pillow, as his hair is being pet by Vash's hand. Next shows Vash and Wolfwood from behind, Wolfwood with his top bare and hickies covers around his nape area. Vash lifts hair away from his nape and asks, "More?" Wolfwood nervously says, "No." Next is a side profile of Vash, his arms around Wolfwood from behind while Wolfwood rests his hands against Vash's arms. Next to this are two smaller drawings; Vash turns to Wolfwood and says repetitively, "Wolfwood, Wolfwood..." Wolfwood, not looking at him, says "What?" He finally turns his head and looks shocked as he exclaims, "So close!" Vash says plainly, "You just noticed?" Below these is a drawing of Vash and Wolfwood sitting together as Vash kisses and hugs him from behind with his right arm around Wolfwood's neck and his left hand around his side. He also has his right leg propped against Wolfwood's knee. Bottom of the page has a comic. Wolfwood looks annoyed, speaking to himself, "Where is that idiot?! Need to get out of town before--" A chat bubble exclaims, "Wolfwood!" The next panel shows Vash running from the townspeople, small text saying "Get him! Vash the stampede!". Wolfwood, mad and about to pull the Punisher off his shoulder, says, "Argh, you fucking dumbass!" Vash exclaims, "Ah, don't!" before pulling Wolfwood into a quick kiss. He then tugs on Wolfwood's collar and says, "There's no need to shoot, just run!" Wolfwood stammers, "R-right..." with a flushed, dumbstruck expression.
Second collage; Top left, Wolfwood spoons Vash in bed, his arms around his chest and the other beneath Vash's head. Vash has his hand on top of Wolfwood's as he sleeps while Wolfwood lies awake. Behind this drawing is faint sketches of Vash's face. In a small panel, Wolfwood hides in Vash's neck as he mumbles to himself "Stop. Stop thinking embarrassing things, Wolfwood..." Beneath this drawing is another of them in bed, Vash now turned to Wolfwood and a hand on his cheek as he kisses him good morning. In a simpler style, Vash wraps an arm tightly around wolfwood with the text "snork mimimi" next to him while Wolfwood says, "We need to get up. Spikey! HEY!" In this corner, there are faint sketches of Vash and Wolfwood; one of them looking at each other; Vash kissing Wolfwood's forehead; Wolfwood saying, "Hand" with an outstretch hand and Vash says "ok" behind a drawing of them holding hands, both turned away from each other shyly. Next is a 4 panel comic. First shows Wolfwood's face getting squished by Vash's hands with the text "squish" around his face. Next, his cheeks are stretched with the text "Chee--" Wolfwood then hits Vash's face with his palm, exclaimining "That hurts!" The last shows Vash on Wolfwood's lap, smiling to himself as he continues to have Wolfwood's face in his hands. Next to this is another comic; A close up of their hands, Vash holding Wolfwood's with both of his. He then kisses the palm of Wolfwood's palm and says, "They're soft!" Wolfwood looks at him with flushed cheeks, "There's no way that's true..." END ID]
#vashwood#vash the stampede#nicholas d wolfwood#trigun#trigun maximum#just posting first for now!!! wanted to have these two spreads together grah#ive been weirdly selective when it comes to posting on tumblr but i really need to start dropping everything from twitter/insta onto here...#anyway what is there to say... i like to just draw them being in love and silly. there are so many flavors to vw#and i so happened to really enjoy the intimate sickeningly affectionate aspect of it... lays down...#give these two touch and loved starved selfless individuals the chance to pour their entire being into loving the other....#thoguh in particular i drew these both for wolfwood wednesday (which is everyday to me) so theyre wolfwood centric#i think for some time i was just seeing a lot of work of vash being loved by wolfwood and obviously that makes sense#ww loves that fool so much and will love him two times as much for the love vash refuses to give himself#but i also love wolfwood and desperately needed to see wolfwood being loved so i drew it#bc it goes both ways... i def believe that ww would be adamant about giving affection to vash at first bc vash would hesitate asking#but once he gets comfortable vash's love pours and he'd noticed too that ww avoids getting spoiled affectionately bc of his own issues#vash is. stubborn to me. more so than wolfwood. he will destroy him with love!!!!!!!!!!!#and wolfwood will adjust and get used to it. being loved. loving. steadily but slowly as his days are filled with soft touches and reminders#that he's being handled gently and with care for the first time in a long time#ruporas art

I like the idea of red not really. Realizing that his feelings for green are romantic until they're like. Adults. Even after they reconcile and he comes down the mountain he's kinda operating under "we're best friends" assumptions. Not bc internalized homophobia or anything but he just. Can't tell the feelings apart. He doesn't have any friends other than green as a kid and as a teen he lived on a mountain alone so. All the feelings of loneliness and longing for green very well could be now you're supposed to feel about your Good Buddy in his mind. I think green realized way earlier that he Liked red and it did freak him out. So after they reconcile and green has given him a whole speech about needing red in his life and how only red understands him and completes him n whatever he's like. Ahh it feels so good to confess my feelings...only for red to nod sagely and tell him I feel the same. I need you too. You'll always be My Best Friend.
#i dknt have a reaction image that can sum up how green felt at thay momsnt#they talk it out eventually but for one moment green wonders why arceus would make a fool of him like this#reguri#trainer red#trainer blue#althouvh he is green TO ME#do you see my vision. when gou have no other frame of reference all feelinfs can be platonic#eben if you lay awake thinking kf them at night. and feel sixk when theyre nice to other people.#and want to die jf you think they have a crush on someone else. those are just bff feelings.#see j djdnt know you could be gay until i was asked if i wad bc i wouldn't stfu about my best friend. it just didnt cross my mind.#so red js going through smyh similar.#he just didnt have anyone to ask him the “are yoy a lesbian or somethinf” question#also once he realizes they are romantic hes like oh that makes sense. theres no denial stage just#being unaware and then acceptance and revelation.#blue oak#green oak

curled up into a fetal position sobbing because I just thought of a john & amanda glass coffin au. one where john realizes that amanda’s not following his method at the end of saw iii but jeff doesn’t kill either of them, so they both survive but amanda’s not an apprentice anymore. but she’s already an accomplice and she can’t return to normal life, so they they just continue separately, with john continuing to “test” people but unwilling to make hoffman his new apprentice in amanda’s place. and amanda continues with her rigged traps, targeting people that have wronged her. both of their murders are attributed to “jigsaw”, with the public unaware that they’re no longer working together.
&they still care so much for each other but john cares more about his “”legacy”” and he struggles to come to terms with the fact that now, amanda as an individual and his legacy are two separate entities. & he can’t keep letting her “ruin” his work by putting people in rigged traps but he obviously can’t go to the police and hoffman won’t help him which means he has to stop her himself. so they have this cat and mouse chase just like hoffman & strahm did in saw v (but like. lesbian daughter and unsupportive father version). and he still has to dig up information on her past like strahm did for hoffman, which forces him to confront the life that he told her to leave behind for the sake of their work.
&the entire theme of the glass coffin being trust, so when amanda’s asking him to enter the glass coffin she’s asking him if he can still trust her, if he ever really trusted her in the first place. if it’s too late for him to ever trust her again. he said he trusted her to carry on his legacy, but can he trust her to save his life?
&just like in saw v, he throws her into the coffin & makes her watch him die
#saw#saw franchise#sawposting#saw 2004#amanda young#saw v#john kramer#their relationship is a constant knife in my side and watching saws iii or x is the equivalent of playing bop it with the handle#long post#the glass coffin dialogue but for john & amanda???#your dedication is to be commended. but I ask if there’s anything else you’ve learned on your journey.#as the old adage goes: fool me once shame on you. fool me twice shame on me’…#i’m asking you john. have you learned to trust me? if you haven’t this room will forever be your tomb and my legacy will become yours.

Do you have any FMO headcannons for when Reader was pregnant with Daela?
- while pregnant fmo reader had the worst cravings for watercress, something she ate back home a lot. Alicent ended up having bundles of it shipped into King’s landing bc reader cried about not having any one day
- Helaena knew they were having a girl but never got to say it bc reader kept plugging her ears every time Helaena would almost say it 😭. She wanted it to be a surprise
- her labor with daella took a lot longer than alaric. Reader even had a bit of milk of the poppy. Completely turned her off the drug. Though it dulled pain, she hated how it made her feel (keep this in mind for further chapters 👀)
- reader’s mom came and stayed with her for some weeks before and daella was born
- daella was colicky baby. Cried a lot, whined lot, squirmed a lot. A little handful
- Aemond read to reader’s belly while she was pregnant and that transitioned to when daella was born
- when she was born, they thought she was gonna have dark hair but then her blonde streaks started to come in
- everyone were all hands on deck once reader was close to giving birth. Aemond would make people watch her when he was with Vhagar or training. One day he walked in seeing reader asleep on the coach with Aegon next to her. His goblet resting perfectly on her stomach. Think Rachel in friends lmao

MIKE BLOCKED ME ON TWITTER FOR ROASTING HIS DUMBASS RESPONSE TO THE GRAPHIC NOVEL STUFF!!
grown ass man scared of the 19-year-old queer being mean to him over his public meltdown more at 8.
#ramblez#little white boy sad? U sad bc nobody likes you? Bc u constantly make a fool of urself and show off ur distaste for ur fans? lmao#this is one of the greatest things to ever happen to me imagine how mad he'll be when he finds out the fangame Im making has queers in it#hes gonna have a whole other white boy meltdown on main KJSNFDGKJHFGKJHGKJHSDFGSD#hes so fucking sensitive maybe just get off of social media Mike this never ends well for you#batim#batdr#bendy and the ink machine#bendy and the dark revival#and look Im joking around about this but it really is sad that the bendy devs cant handle this kind of critique towards their decisions#it seems despite the backlash once again they are choosing to ignore their fans which is yknow upsetting#But hey ig if the devs being awful was a dealbreaker for this fandom I wouldve left a long time ago and I havent#dw Im not going anywhere <3#also if anyone else here was also criticizing Mike maybe check his acct to make sure ur not blocked now since apparently#old habits die hard and this is certainly a pattern with him KJHDSFKGJHSDKFGJHDFGSD#also look before anyone asks yes I was kinda mean to him over this but to put bluntly if hes gonna be this dismissive to his fans concerns#he deserves it. Theres this persistent attitude esp in bendy fanspaces of being defensive of the devs#and I dont know why they have been extremely horrible people every single chance they get#and its very hurtful to see how many people would rather tell me to be kinder to the people who broke the heart of a child me when they#dismissed any ideas of putting queers like me in their stories than to realize Mike n Meatly bring this bad attention to themselves#to put bluntly I dont owe them kindness not until they at least apologize for the shit they did which they still havent#mike hasnt even addressed his vent poem in the code of BATDR let alone the other shit he said n did#so no I will not be kind to him ever hope this helps!

Penelope having an identical twin sister sounds so cool! Imagine her twin being called Felicity and the two switching places whenever they're bored. Who do you think would be able to tell them apart without any difficulty or hesitation?
interesting!
hmm. colin, undoubtedly would know without having to look. he would be able to tell by voice and steps alone. the back of her head even. he doesn't even think they look the same, let's be real.
violet would know.
eloise would not.
benedict and anthony would have been totally unaware there was two of them for like, 3 years.
kate would know.
hyacinth would know but mess with them to make them think she had no idea.
gregory would just be happy to be there.
fran would know half the time.
albion would know but phillipa wouldn't.
prudence does not care. harry is still not sure there's actually two of them.
portia would have no idea.
varley would know.
bonus: all of the featherington/bridgerton footmen and maids would know because colin only follows penelope around.
#asks#ashleebooksblog#penelope featherington#full disclosure: dated an identical twin once#could totally tell them apart#it was super easy for me like they could have never fooled me#i just *knew*

You know what? I give up on this paper once and for all. I'm not even ashamed anymore
#okay I'm a little ashamed#it's another 5 points i have to catch up with next semester#but it's making me want to kill myself and i don't even know if the professor would still accept it#(the original deadline was in October. i got an official extension until November. i guess it'd be just rude#to ask if it was still okay to send it#especially since i haven't done any substantial work on it#it's just bad. i hate the topic. i hate the way the professor views the subject 'language and emotion'#so that i cannot write what i want but would have to tailor it towards her views because otherwise I'd fail#and also i cannot write in german. i simply can not do it. )#it's better to move on and focus on my last paper for last semester (official deadline is end of March#so I'm not behind for once)#and i should do the assignments for a module i should have finished 1 year ago#so i don't have to do that next semester#and i should start studying korean again so i don't make a complete fool of myself next semester#I have my first day of work in 2 weeks so I'll also have to focus on working (for money) from there on#I've been paralyzed by the thought of having to write this paper for way too long#the professor is not my boss anymore (i still have to work off some hours though) and even if she was#I'm so done being ashamed of myself for not being able to do certain things#i wanna give it my best from now on but not for this paper. it's done.#void screams

Something I’ve been watching people comes to terms with is that a lot of people don’t care about propaganda or truth or information because they don’t want to be inconvenienced or challenged—so they simply don’t make room for it and are shocked when it imposes on them anyway
#off topic#not fiber arts#that’s including me#I thought people would want to know when they’re being misled#the answer is generally ‘no’#unless they already like and trust you#and then they’ll make an exception#part of the reason disinformation campaigns work is because once people have incentive to believe something#(like for instance not admitting they were fooled)#they are much less likely to believe any new evidence and are basically impossible to reach via reason#I actually spent years learning how to apologize and admit when I was wrong#sure I still suck at it but now I have practice confronting my mistakes#anyway no one else did#so my attempts at growth feel pointless (they are not pointless it’s just upsetting knowing I was held to this fantastically high standard#that no one else was)#once the propaganda is used to espouse truth the pendulum will swing back#and people will ask for ‘proof’ of the inanest most obvious things#this sounds less bad but it’ll lead to serious breakdowns in communication since they won’t be able to ‘prove’ things for themselves#which is why education is so important and critical thinking skills and various kinds of literacy#shouldn’t be paywalled behind ivory towers
