Very, Very Fuckin' Sleepy Ghost Ramblings - MDNI, AGELESS BLOGS DNI

[Masterlist]

This is the only thing keepin' me from falling back asleep right now. Y'know how ridiculous that is? Simon 'Ghost' goddamn Riley and thoughts about his stupid gorgeous self bein' the only thing keepin' my exhausted ass awake this early in the mornin'.

Anyway, it's early for you, too, as luck would have it. You're a little pissy, seeing as your alarm meant to wake you up for work during the week has gone off during the weekend after you accidentally set it last night out of habit, so now you're pouting. Simon reaches out for you, fairly tired himself, still groggy but awoken by your disgruntled shifting about in bed.

You just bat his hand away, whining. Stubborn thing. Don't you know you look all sorts of pretty with your eyes squeezed shut and your brow knitted together like that? Can't blame him for wanting to kiss you. Only once, baby, please? Let him make it better.

His lips do eventually meet your skin, warm and gentle, much like the hands that follow suit. Oh, beautiful thing. He loves you so. Wholeheartedly adores you. He's not quite lucid enough to express it with words, but the way he cups your face is enough for you to understand it.

He peppers small, tender kisses over your cheeks, nose brushing with yours with every movement. Not that you mind. You're already starting to doze off again, sour mood masterfully tempered by the kindness Simon seems to have reserved only for you.

By the time his lips are pressing to your temple, one of his hands has left your face. It moves down, skimming over your side where it travels a languid path to splay out in the small of your back, guiding you closer. There are no protests from you this time.

Instead, you simply move with him, cozying up against his front. He gives a few more lasting pecks to your forehead as you tuck beneath his chin, then finally relaxes, idly stroking your skin to coax himself back to sleep along with you.

Watching people in this godforsaken fandom get big mad about Nyxlin is almost as funny to me as watching people get mad about Elaingate/Tamberlain.

Gotta love when folks write Superman incredibly anti-clone even though he had good reason in the beginning to Not Like Superboy (HES A WINDOW INTO WHAT CLARK WOULD HAVE BEEN WITHOUT THE KENTS) and decide that forever on he’ll be spiteful towards clones even though he literally Does Not Care if you’re a clone unless you’re Superboy.

I love you smile lines and worry lines and grey and white hair and wrinkles and purple spiderweb veins and the process of aging and living in a body that is standing the test of times. I love you experiences that make you wiser and stories that make you laugh, and every little process that happens to get to the point where you have so many memories because you have the fortune to be here and be so radiant

“falling to the dark side” is the jedi’s way of stripping agency from anybody who breaks away from them or disagrees with them, it relies on the notion that jedi beliefs are the default & that “nobody could POSSIBLY be a decent, sensible person and NOT want to be a jedi”, & that’s how they get away with othering and conquistadoring anybody who doesn’t think like them.

same energy as “believe what i believe or you’re gonna burn in hell forever” and “my ex is a crazy bitch you can’t trust anything they say”.

Rhaena is a Targaryen but, is her skin color the problem or is the writing the problem?

the writing, through and through. skin color is not a problem, but the writing degrading every character that they made black is awful. the velaryons are an ancient, rich and respected house, baela and rhaena are two amazing dragonriders. the show bent their stories to prop up the (white) main characters: rhaenyra and daemon. that’s not how inclusivity works, if you’re going to make characters of color, show them respect.

why is rhaena ordered around as a glorified babysitter? why not write a single scene of her with her father or brothers? why inflict trauma on her by first making her (black) mother die a horrible death then make her relive that sending her to the same place?

rhaena is beloved. rhaena is respected. rhaena lived in the vale as a princess, showered in praise and attention. rhaena is the last dragonrider, a beacon of hope and magic in this world. rhaena got her happy ending. black rhaena deserves that as much as white rhaena.

For as much as I joke abt The Guys In My Head, I truly do love and appreciate my alters.

They help take care of me when I can't do it, I'm not alone ever, if I need someone to sleep next to me and help calm my obsessive and intrusive thoughts, they're here to hold my hand through it.

I couldn't keep going with just myself shouldering all of the shit I've gone through, and they have saved me.

I don't think I would be here and surviving and coping and getting better without them, and I am so incredibly thankful for that.

I know that for many, their plurality and alters cause them distress, however it's not the case for us, and I don't think it ever will be, and that's just as valid as wanting to be a singlet.

Were Alicent and Helaena loved by the Smallfolk?

they weren't hated by all means but loved is an exaggeration and new readers love nothing more than gasping straws. Here's my reasoning:

First and only mention of Alicent being "loved" by the smallfolk as far as I recall was when when she crowned her daughter

"Queen Alicent, beloved of the smallfolk, placed her own crown upon the head of her daughter, Helaena, Aegon’s wife and sister. After kissing her cheeks, the mother knelt before the daughter, bowed her head, and said, “My Queen.”

f&b claim characters like Baelon the Brave, Alicent, Helaena, etc to have been “beloved by the smallfolk” then never explain WHY they were beloved by the smallfolk. This is why I think the only person in f&b that was truly loved by the smallfolk was Alysanne because she actually did shit and and the maesters who were fond of her in later years (as she embraced the faith) wrote for her kindly.

For Alicent, the whole "beloved by the smallfolk" was really just a passing compliment. Had she done a single thing to have evoke worship for them the maesters wouldn't have missed the chance to mention it. In my opinion she was probably passive, so they had nothing to add about it, plus a new queen was to be crowned and attention was shifted on building up Helaena's image for the history books.

Now onto Helaena:

“Though plumper and less striking than most Targaryens, Helaena was a pleasant, happy girl, and all agreed she would make a fine mother.”

^ this is all we know about her. I can buy that she was probably in higher opinion of common born because of the pleasant attitude but to say she was loved by them is again a stretch. The claim only comes because of how the events of the war are narrated - which brings me to the next important thing; how you view the maesters affects how you read every single event from the story.

I've mentioned in the past than I'm very much a maester conspiracy truther for the whole asoiaf verse, and while I don't think everything the maesters mention in f&b is a straight up lie it's obvious to me their wording is carefully chosen to paint a favoring narrative.

I'm in humanities studies; so examining philosophical, religious, political texts and catching propaganda is something I've been very used to hence my attitude towards the maesters in asoiaf/f&b - they're a manipulative organization that seeks power and control. They've been on top for many years once upon a time and they want to go back to those golden days.

Back to Helaena though, since I didn't finish, it's important tor remind that the smallfolk never saw Helaena after b&c, it's once again the maesters who simply tells us about their supposed feelings:

"That it was so quickly believed shows how utterly the city had turned against their once-beloved queen. Rhaenyra was hated; Helaena had been loved. Nor had the common folk of the city forgotten the cruel murder of Prince Jaehaerys by Blood and Cheese, and the terrible death of Prince Maelor at Bitterbridge."

here's few contradictory to this statement:

"Rhaenyra was hated" Yet the maesters earlier confirmed the people in King's Landing cheered when she took over the city.

"Helaena was loved" again makes no mention as to why she loved; what good deeds did she do for them? Why not mention them? simply because they don't exist. Anyone the maesters like is 'beloved' by the smallfolk

"Common folk hadn't forgotten the terrible death of Prince Maelor" Guess who did the terrible death of Prince Maelor? ding ding the common folk.

To highlight the obvious biased, let me include Rhaenyra's reaction to Prince Maelor:

To highlight Mushroom, who loved the queen well, tells us that Rhaenyra wept when Maelor’s small head was placed before her as she sat the Iron Throne. Septon Eustace, who loved her little, says rather that she smiled, and commanded that the head be burned, “for he was the blood of the dragon.”

Do i really need to say it? It's clearly stated: one loved her well and the other little. So what's the truth of this scene?

and you may wonder what this gotta do with the original question? why do the maesters even matter over whether Alicent or Helaena possibly being loved by the common people?

It matters because the first hand accounts one (a septon) favors aegon and the second (a court fool) favors rhaenyra and the two others (orwyle and munkun) are both maesters of the citadel based where? oh right in oldtown, the seat of house hightower

to close this off, the common people change their attitude as fast as the wind changes direction.

jorah said it best:

The common people pray for rain, health and a summer that never ends. They don't care what games the high Lords play

I didn't realize just how much Little Town on the Prairie meant to me as a book. I've barely started and every bit feels iconic. This one and Little House on the Prairie feel more like home than most of the other books do.

It's so funny how sanghiblr will selectively criticize NCERT. They will harass them for sources about medieval and mughal history, but will parrot the "harappan and vedic civilisations are one and the same" bullshit in NCERT that has been proven to be false. Because that one fits their agenda and the ridiculous claim that aryans are indigenous or whatever.
