Yo! Why does Tamlin have a heart made of stone? Because he is the High lord of Spring Court? Then why doesn't he have powers that control plants and flowers like idk Maleficient lol. Why cant he communicate with animals? Honestly, Tamlin is a man with so much potential but SJM doesn't see it that way :(((

But like seriously how is his heart made of stone how is the blood in his body even pumping wtf?

Y’all love going on about how the Greens “went against Viserys’ dying wishes,” as if your immediate thought would have been “Oh, he was OBVIOUSLY talking about Aegon the conquerer, not his own son Aegon, and he’s reaffirming his belief that Rhaenyra should be his successor!”

Like, yes, I, as the viewer, know that was the case, but absolutely nobody who was there would have just made that assumption.

if your dying father obsessed with jesus christ who has religious icons all throughout his room started going on about how "great jesus was" and how he can't wait for "jesus to lead the people again" on his death bed would you think he's talking about jesus christ or his estranged son j. sus jr who sells mixtapes from his car and throws rocks at the house for fun

By the gods, you are terrified of loving a man who tries to help everyone he meets --- but you chide him for his selflessness and you remind him, again and again, that you intend to keep him WHOLE as you travel together on land and sea. He, in turn, reminds you that he is no pushover, that it is the two of you against the world --- and someone should start warning people. He's going to make big changes, and you fear the ones he will instill in you the most.

Remember when Alicent slapped Aegon for not being around when Aemond lost his eye? Do you think she'll have the balls to slap Aemond now that Aegon got injured on his watch (assuming she doesn' tknow what he did)

by seeing the promo for next episode, she seems as cold and uncaring as she’s been this season. she’ll probably blame aegon for not following her wise council and sit pretty in the castle. anything else but indifference would mean that she’s in aegon’s side (the horror), and that she has actual human sensible reactions (unfathomable).

aemond will remain consequence free, because now he’s effectively made himself the most powerful person in the room. alicent will learn how good she had it when aegon was in charge because aegon would never leave king’s landing unprotected to go burn civilians in the riverlands.

Soap: Cap, why d'ye call Graves "babygirl"

Price: Shut your fuckin trap, Sergeant.

Soap: Hey Nik, why do *you* call Graves "babygirl"?

Nik: *slowly grins*

~later~

Gaz: Shit mate, what happened to you?

Soap, looking shell-shocked: Gaz. Gaz look at me. Look--are you looking? Never... never challenge Nikolai's sense of shame or common decency. The man does not have either.

Gaz: Forget I asked.

Soap: I wish I could forget.....

do they usually put out the playlist prior to the tour starting? because i feel like im gonna need a few days to recover from the playlist i feel like they’re planning something diabolical and it’ll cause psychic damage

i'm actually not sure but i think the other ones were posted publicly a bit into the tours? potentially after but i feel like it was before they ended. also did dan ever even post the wad one i think at least right now there's only fan made ones on spotify

if there's anything unhinged on there though i will let you all know

[starry-bi-sky]

Hi uhh I really love your Damian and Danny siblings short. I wonder if uhh will you add a more connected story.

Also how did the mirage happen and is it only Bruce and Damian who saw it?

thank you! And honestly I might add a more connected story (i posted a miscellaneous post about the danny from that post because I was still thinking about him). The more I think about it though, yeah probably? I'd like to explore that reunion between Danny and Damian at some point. Plus Danny's experience in Amity Park and his growth from there.

The post was meant to be more of a prompt for other people to take inspiration from and add their own ideas onto, so the mirage was something I kept purposely vague so that people could come up with their own theories about it. But for my take on it? Magic user in Gotham that they got in a fight with. It was a physically visual mirage so anyone who was in the room could've seen it, and it was capable of being picked up on the cameras in their mask/cowls (which i hear is a thing sometimes) so it can be replayed back in the cave.

Okay I want everyone to be completely serious with this, like really think with me here

Was ii 17 the last episode??

Guys I REALLY want to cope but I just can’t.

There’s evidence that this isn’t the end because it doesn’t have the “the end” like the other endings, and the shimmers are still out there. Etc. there’s threads showing all the evidence but I can’t remember it all.

But the team is really making it feel like that was it.

I just a tweet from the team saying that was it. I can’t keep holding onto hope while also having a sinking feeling of anxiety and dread that that was it. Please Brian or Adam or even Justin, just one tweet I can’t move on until I get an answer

So I want some feedback from other people, comments or reposts are appreciated too.

That one interview where Russell Crowe is like "Well I wouldn't know about (plot of Gladiator II), would I? I'm dead!"

Everyone thought Maximus would find peace in death, but apparently not!

Hi hi!

Hello, Love! 💕

This ask makes me happy. 😁

Big thx for reading and the ask! I’m so glad that you are enjoying the story.

Read II Most Wanted

Spoiler under the cut:

1. We will find out where that ring is soon. 😉

2. No, Becca got pregnant before Sy broke up with her. She cheated on him with Jeremy.

Hello!!!!!!!! Hope you're having a nice day!!!! I'm insane about your SOMA au, it's so nice to see an au where Simon is spared from The Horrors

Your au has so much potential and I think that's really neat, was anyone there when Simon woke up? Imagine how scary it must be if you're a pathos employee just chilling and then one of the dive suits gains sentience and starts freaking out, I'd hate to be the one to explain to him that he's not human and he's 100 years in the future

You said in one of your posts that he becomes the poster guy for robot rights, what did he do to become that popular? I'm genuinely curious about what some guy at the bottom of the ocean can do to become a major figure in what sounds like a civil rights movement

*emerges from the salt marsh covered in conference presentation abstracts and barnacles* oml I haven’t thought deeply about my beloved Paranoid Android of Pathos II AU in too long… I’m so glad that goofy little concept has been fun for you too!

1. Was anyone there when Simon woke up?

Kind of? In my head the diving suit+scanner was an abandoned pet project of Catherine’s that was quite literally shoved in a closet somewhere when other projects began to take priority. (The world isn’t ending; research is just Like That sometimes.) The closet happened to have a structure gel leak which contaminated the suit and bam! Simon is Very Confused and concerned about suddenly being in a closet. Catherine is in her office at the time, so hyper focused on her work she doesn’t really hear him come out of the closet and when he asks where he is/what’s going on she kind of assumes he’s a technician that got lost until she turns around and promptly Nopes Out. Explaining to him that he’s not human and 100 years in the future is Ross’ job (AI psychologist - that’s kind of in his job title, right?)

2. Why does Simon have international acclaim for pioneering android rights?

I’m not gonna lie that was a joke based entirely on the crack premise of him getting arrested for stealing from the on-station Panera Bread restaurant (which is entirely my own ridiculous invention for silliness purposes). I guess the reason why the world would care is because like…you arrested a robot. Does the robot’s ‘creator’ get prosecuted or does the robot? I imagine the case was dropped because it was so absurd and had never happened before but it technically set the precedent that a) AI scans are independent of their physical ‘creators’ and b) are entitled to basic rights insofar as the legal system and its proceedings.

A bit of a stretch to call it a civil rights movement since Simon is the only scan that’s ‘awake’ although I’m sure the Carthage Industries Ethics Committee is having a hell of a time figuring out if they need to stop using such scans/should they try to make more androids like Simon for profit/etc. Bad day to be in the corporate offices.

…although I reiterate that factoid was born from the joke premise of Simon stealing from Panera. A restaurant on Pathos II. At the bottom of the ocean. Because Carthage Industries has taste. So this is all a goofy crack scenario anyway lol

It’s so sad that Aegon, who is trying to be a better King than his father, is being told by Larys that Alicent and Aemond are ‘undermining him’ and after rooks rest he will believe the lie to be true

to their credit they are trying to undermine him 😭 alicent has stated multiple times she intends to manipulate him and rule in his place, and aemond always had ambitions of his own. the thing is, they’re not successful at influencing egg because their approach is not subtle or effective: instead of capitalizing in his hunger for approval, they chastise him. larys did do his psychology homework and is getting to aegon effectively, but he’s isolating aegon from his family for his own means, when they should be an united front.

Hi! I’m not sure if you’ve already done this, but do you have any headcannons about the way that Aegon and Helaena act as parents? I’ve always wondered what their dynamic would be with the kids, especially when Helaena had just given birth to the twins 🫶🫶🫶

I don't believe I have done this yet, no - and that means it was due time for me to do so!! love my babies and their babies. 🫶

Helaegon as Parents Headcanons

◈ To begin with, given with the fact Helaena was very young when she gave birth to the twins and Aegon himself was no more than a year (or two according to the show) older, it would be a pretty rough adjustment. One kid would've had those two shook, the fact they are immediately hit with two kids is like holy smokes. Helaena often stays very close with the babies, partly because of the ongoing speech about them ("not all was well with these Targaryen princelings), partly because she finds herself very in tune and comfortable with them, and they're one of the aspects in her life she can very much decide for what is going on. For Aegon it's rougher - I genuinely think the birth would likely to be more traumatizing for the two of them and in combo of the talks about the kids he has a really hard time that nothing that is his is never good enough. He'll be pretty distant at the beginning because of it.

◈ That being said, that is not to say Aegon hates his kids. He would look down to them at some nights when they are already deep in sleep, he would be a bit awkward trying to assimilate fatherly aspect but every not and again one of the twins will reach for his arms and he just can't say no. They'll fall asleep in his arms and he wouldn't know how to put them down, either - he doesn't want to ruin the moment but he kind of believes he is the moment ruiner, you know? They'll probably stay in his arms until Helaena untangles him in rescue. When they are very calm in his arms, he lets go but hesitantly. It's one scenery he couldn't ruin, and he would'nt have minded for it to stay longer.

◈ Helaena is very hands on mama for a royal, she picks the stories and toys with her interests woven into them (dragonfly dolls!) and the advise of the maids who care for them, she sometimes brushes their hair instead of the maids, she generally always a few steps away in case they need her. Aegon acts more subtly in their matters, around but invisible, leaving them gifts like dolls or games to play with. He will always come with something on him to them because he feels better when they are very happy about the gifts. At times he doesn't have something on him (specifically in private times when he is alone with them), he funnily tries to copy Helaena or Alicent - he'd pick up a book they have tossed around to read to them.

◈ Maelor comes around in better circumstances with no defects or talk and that's where Aegon assimilates a bit better to fatherhood. This is also where he starts being more comfortable and his children start to be more of menaces because they certainly try to play with dad. Jaehaerys and Jaehaera had long been hair pullers as babies, but it all comes back when Maelor becomes The Clingiest Child of the year. Jaehaerys gains his "twerp" nickname and Maelor his "brat" nickname, but that's because he becomes a lot more comfortable with them. (Jaehaera's a lady, she comforts dad after her brothers bite his ankles. She's just Aegon's Haera.)

◈ Now, they are helaegon kids through and through; these kids crave love and understanding as much as their parents. Jaehaerys really does look for his dad and probably snuck to his chambers to find him dead drunk and snoring. He might be his alarm clock at mornings. Jaehaera practices with Helaena and Alicent her letters and her reading because the septas are quick to pass judgement, determined to read everything right so they would be proud of her. Maelor is clingy af because he got used to it and can and WILL stall both Helaena and Aegon, for no reason finding their rings very interesting to play with; but he's a baby - he's far more interested in his parent's home.

◈ The theme of “do you love me?" is very persistent in this family. From Aegon it's very obvious, the kids want him to love them, but even with Helaena when she struggles at being a mother, the babies always feel when a day is rough on her. They're a difficult family with difficult lives and if the kids ask Helaena or Aegon if they love them, it would be heartbreaking for either, it would resound with them on different measures, but the answer of course will always be yes. "You are my dearest loves," from Helaena, who truly sees them as the light in her life or a "of course, you twats," from Aegon who would pick them up to a hug so they won't see he's shaken. And shit will continue to be rough as this family is nothing but bumpy roads, but there's still is love.

i continue to find ii3 baffling. why did they make it (this isn't to hate on the season, i'm genuinely curious)
