"rhaenys could have ended the war by dracarysing all the greens right there" yes because a distant relation to the throne deciding to barbecue an anointed and publicly positively hailed king and his entire family who is well loved within the city and in multiple other parts of the country for the sake of the succession of a far-away princess no one was ever on board with who hasn't been seen by the populace in literal years, her psycho husband, her three obvious bastards, and two toddlers from the psycho husband would go over super well with westeros and especially in king's landing where scores of the still-cheering population were killed for no reason by that same dragon who would do the barbecuing, because when targaryens act unilaterally without thinking of how the people would react there's never any problem, which is why the storming of the dragonpit and robert's rebellion were actually just collective delusions dreamed up by readers who hate rhaenyra and not key parts of the story and house targaryen's history that directly contributed to their demise and are intrinsic to the plot

To be laying beside (or on top) of the short racer king man holding him like a doll cupping his cheek that for some reason feels soft like a marshmallow maybe he programmed it himself who knows, caressing his face with your fingers while kissing him over and over<333 his little giggles and silly noises of "hoohoo~"s as you dote on him since he's not used to getting so close and personal with someone cuz of secret identity I mean what you're not suppose to know that hahaaaa

You lean in down to whisper in his ear "I love seeing you ride on those tracks... has anyone ridden you~?"

I've been thinking a lot about TNG's The Measure of a Man today, and how those kinds of episodes where they debate what it means to be a person are so important. The themes and arguments in the episode have been used throughout history to justify treating people as less than, and showing how the arguments can work in favor of existing injustice helps people recognize it when it's happening on a smaller scale: in the classroom, in the workplace, on the street, in everyday interactions. I think it's very important so that we can recognize the tactics that are being used against people and how easily the wrong narrative can take hold. We can debate philosophy forever, but if we're not still engaging in the moral conversations and implications of those philosophical ideas, then it's all for naught. If we can't engage with our own history of slavery, oppression, and injustice in a meaningful way, then the structures are upheld and the discrimination continues, with historical groups and new ones that emerge. What does it mean to be a person? How far do you go to stand up for another's personhood when push comes to shove and your ass is on the line?

Looking through a similar lens in Voyager's Distant Origin, what happens to the dissenting voices? The ones who stand up against history and doctrine, saying this isn't right and this isn't how it happened? Are they silenced by coercion or other means? Do they stand up for what is correct in the face of personal ruin? It's an especially important consideration in cultures that tend to be more individualistic than collectivist, as the US is. Do you sit and do as you're told, whatever it takes not to stand out among the crowd? Do you do the work to recognize the powers that are in play and structures that have existed since before your lifetime?

There are so many instances in the episodes where they debate morality -- they explore ideas relating to privilege and opportunity, systems of oppression and what it means to do the right thing. Even in an idealistic future, doing the right thing is difficult. Refusing to engage with the conversation and continue exploring those harder truths that fight with our social conditioning is an issue.

I just really appreciate that they were willing to explore those moral arguments, even if they basically end up being conference room episodes. Science fiction really lends itself well to those kinds of stories and can help start shifting paradigms of thinking. These stories can provide the impetus to thought then to action -- right now, right now, right now

I dreamed that there was a rote game and you could switch between playing as Fitz and Beloved which is really cool and all but you first had to find Beloved in this huge ass mansion while hearing him ominously monologue about sth and when I found him he was doing push ups dressed as Lord Golden

any game devs wanna make this?

Question of the hour: Which member of the Chain is emotionally intelligent enough to know why Sky had a complete meltdown in my story, Numb, because otherwise they’re all gonna be like “that was weird” and Sky’s gonna be like “yeah can we never talk about this again” and the consensus will be halfway agreeing and then watching Sky out of the corner of their eyes because what the hell even was that

In English, we say, "Regret."

In TES, we say, "I'm afraid there is a . . . situation. The time has come to test both your skill and your loyalty to Sithis. The Black Hand has learned that the Dark Brotherhood has been infiltrated. By whom, and for what purpose, we do not yet know. What we do know is that there is some link between the traitor and the Cheydinhal Sanctuary. The traitor has tainted that place beyond repair. It was learned that the traitor has been active for quite some time, since before you joined the Brotherhood. That absolves you of any suspicion. Listen well, child of Sithis. You have been chosen to perform the ancient rite known as Purification."
