more little teasers for tpac ch 11 bc i am in revision hell 😔
...
“Just work with me, Korv.” Tim is not wheedling. He’s asking very rationally, and Korvin’s being stubborn as all hell.
What else is new?
Even after getting caught with their metaphorical pants down, Korvin refuses to explain his hyperawareness or acknowledge it at all.
“Stop being a dweeb and I’ll stop detecting you,” Korvin says nastily—big talk coming from the weedy, braces-wearing math nerd.
“Glass houses, Lead Dweeb.”
He can’t leverage Cass treating Korvin’s…whatever like a game, either—one would think that’d be prime sampling for figuring out the extent of his hyperawareness. Now that Tim knows that Korvin knows that Cass knows that Korvin knows, the causality and responses are so diluted that Tim’s better off starting fresh.
Hence, politely asking; he’s trying to keep them all out of trouble. And for as much as Korvin proclaims he loves staying out of trouble, the stubborn little contrarian won’t budge.

ykw i just realized i haven't actually posted about the shit i liked about ghost game and i was thinking about like.
gammamon and gulusgammamon's relationship today???
the resolution of that whole thing really made me and my system happy, because one of us was literally in the middle of writing an essay about how no one ever does the "superpowered evil side" trope right, yeah?
ghost game is literally the only time i think they've ever done it alright from a system's perspective
mostly because while yeah, that whole conflict comes to a head at the climax of the series, it also doesn't end in some annoying shit where either gammamon Learns To Control His Evil Side (functionally destroying gulus) or Finds A Better Higher Power (technically he does as siriusmon but), he just goes DUDE YOU NEED TO CHILL and gulus grumpily obliges after getting the shit kicked out of him.
i'm pretty sure i've seen a few systems right more in-depth posts about this here on tumblr but like... yeah...
gammamon system my beloved

Okay I have chopped down the list of Thing That I Will Spend My Summer Focusing On (after socializing and research stuff/work which are the real priorities ugh) to these things, please choose which one is going to be what I do this summer
* - Dragon King is the provisional very unfinal title for a story which I've been working on since either 2010 or 2021, depending on how you want to delineate it

but also still going on about that gifset. while i don't handle helaena's prophetic abilities as they are portrayed in the show, she has her dreams still. in a scenario like the one scene where she's distressed about it and alicent reaches out to soothe her, in a way that's affectionate but also dismissive, her reaction would be quite in line with how it's shown there. being dismissive only makes her irritable, no matter how well-meaning the other person is trying to be (honestly i'd say that's worse; being blatantly dismissive is easier to deal with than someone who doesn't take her seriously but doesn't do it plainly); and if she's irritable or angry, don't try to touch her. she will push you away, doesn't matter if you're trying to be affectionate in reaching out. insisting on it will only make her answer more aggressively. physical touch is never the way to soothe her if she's irritated. it'll only make it worse.
in most neutral but uncomfortable situations, she learned to endure it. in the scene with alicent and younger helaena, she visibly tenses when her mother touches her arm, but she doesn't push her away. over time she learned to disguise even that tension (which doesn't mean her discomfort diminished, only that she learned to hide it). i imagine it was particularly stressed she could not, in fact, flinch when other lords and ladies touched her in appropriate manners. i'm also sure if viserys ever had a girl dad instead of rhaenyra dad moment, it did not go well if he tried to be physically affectionate. girlie would in fact avoid him.
she isn't averse to touch always. she does enjoy and welcomes it in many cases. helaena is often physically affectionate with those she loves; she will hold her babies close, hold their hands as they walk, give them kisses, play with their hair. she will find comfort in holding her mother's hand, or having her do her hair. she will walk with her brothers (any of them), arms entwined. she'll gladly run her fingers through the hair of someone she loves, caress their face, or hold their hand, or play with their fingers. she likes being kissed and enjoys much more than that too. but she is rather sensitive. she enjoys touch, but it can be overwhelming.
when it comes to safety and comfort, touch is her primary source of comfort. when she reaches for aemond's or ser criston's arms, or when she reaches out for her mother's hand, it's because she is comforted by having them near. if someone makes her feel safe, she wants them close, especially when the source of distress is fear.
and she does enjoy it when the people who love her are affectionate too. holding hands, forehead kisses, hugs and a lot more can be greatly appreciated. there are levels to it (outside of those closest to her, she won't be receptive; even then, she's more affectionate with some than others).

Also, days...??!!!
You mean to tell me in the year of our lord 1848 that that beautiful, long-suffering man might've been allowed to sit for days - plural!! - before being granted the sweet release of death?
To linger for days - plural!! - cold and frightened and confused and in unimaginable agony...?!!
That someone he loved and trusted to the literal ends of the earth would just sit by and allow such a thing to happen?
Jail! Jail for showrunners for 1000 years!
