I honestly don’t understand how people’s first instinct upon making a tumblr account isn’t to immediately customize their profile picture/title/background and go in search of posts to like or share, like couldn’t be me, the second I made my tumblr I had some cringe Dean Winchester photo up and was searching and clicking hearts in the tags for several niche fandoms, while gleefully reblogging silly posts from 2009

Mini Silverborn Countdown
If you’ve been around for a few years, you’ve seen me vaguely mention a “Silverborn Countdown Challenge” several times. It’s been delayed and changed as many times as the book itself, lol.
If anyone wants sort of a low-stakes, very chill and spaced out version of this ye olde never tackled challenge to complete in the next year before Silverborn, I propose what I’m doing:
Every 3 months leading up to the initial release, I am creating one thing based on each of the books.
January — Nevermoor
April — Wundersmith
July — Hollowpox

Shoutout to my parasitology prof/the registrar for scheduling the most eye straining lab to end after dark so I gotta spend three hours getting a migraine by staring into a microscope nonstop just to spend another 35 minutes staring at LED headlights on my drive home

I understand people are not ~happy~ with certain hotd changes compared to f&b. That people feel like characters don’t have enough agency. Valid opinions to have ofc….but I honestly don’t get how that applies to Aemond, and the change made in ep 10. He still wanted Lucerys’ eye. He still got on Vhagar, who is at least 5 times bigger than Arrax. He chased him in a storm. Regardless of the outcome, he made that choice. He wanted luke to be scared. He wanted to assert dominance over someone who not only taunted him (with the help of Aegon and Jace) for not having a dragon, but someone who also took his eye (and depending on how you read the dinner scene in ep 8, someone who doesn’t seem that remorseful). His agency is there. He just didn’t account for the fact that he’s not the only person or thing with agency in this equation.
Aemond is vengeful, he is bitter; he is the second son who feels he he has to put people in their place to gain a semblance of power. And to paraphrase mysaria: you can only get as much power as people give you. He wielded the power that having Vhagar gives him against luke/arrax. Not fully realizing that he only has that power because Vhagar, like any other dragon, has to relinquish some of hers. And sometimes she’s not gonna want to do that… just like the characters on the show. It doesn’t soften him. It makes him fallible. He now has to grapple with accelerating the inevitable. He has to sit with knowing he caused the chaos to come. The idea of wanting/taking power is working in tandem with this undercurrent throughout of the show that the only thing that can hurt the House of the Dragon… are the Targs themselves. This includes the dragons they use to get said power. Aemond, like most of the Targs (and those adjacent), is his own worst enemy.

Holy shit Early Riser has a sort of group of people who are all disgraced English noblemen who were forced out to Wales but clung to their obsolete titles and their way of life, including kidnapping people to be their servants, and they’re called Villains this is hilarious
