Ryan Condal you are so fucking stupid and I hate you so much.

Because how are you going to sit there and say Alicent recounted a fabricated version of Blood and Cheese to historians to make Rhaenyra look bad and that’s why you changed it.

The very same Alicent that you say has been humbled this season and betrayed her sons to help Rhaenyra.

How are you so stupid that you can’t even keep her characterization the same in your own brain when you rationalize your butchering of the story you were tasked with adapting. Which one is it? Is Alicent the humbled Rhaenyra helper who wanted to doom her male relatives. Or is Alicent the bitter Rhaenyra hater who destroyed her reputation in the histories. SHE CANNOT BE BOTH RYAN.

And if this is some weak attempt at saying Alicent will change again…FUCK YOU. Because you threw out her season 1 characterization completely for this season 2 humbled Alicent arc. Only to apparently throw it all out AGAIN for a queen in chains who hates Rhaenyra and will ruin her reputation arc for seasons 3 and 4. In which case WHAT WAS THE REASON. WHY DID YOU EVEN DO THIS. JUST KEEP THE CHARACTER CONSISTENT

—

I’m just saying. That Ryan Condal is not even capable of figuring out who he wants Alicent to be. So he just uses his weird misinterpretations and hatred of Alicent to excuse every bizarre and stupid creative decision he makes. And all that does is make Alicent a character with absolutely zero consistency. Because she is Rhaenyra’s best friend, then she’s Rhaenyra’s biggest hater, then she’s Rhaenyra’s supporter again (the toasting scene???), then she’s a usurper, then she helps Rhaenyra, then she’s apparently going to hate Rhaenyra all over again and recount fabrications to history. And on and on it goes.

At this point just let Alicent hate Rhaenyra and be done with it. I’m tired

My positive thing to ask for Black History Month this year is to follow Black bloggers! Support Black artists, fic writers, original authors, photographers, craftspeople, gamers, cosplayers, models, political blogs, and more! We're here too, and we have a lot to give! 💕

It's mostly the fault of poor editorial practices that B&R is so heavily misaligned continuity-wise w/ the main batman book. But walk with me for a minute:

You are Damian Wayne. You are 14 years old and have had one of the worst years of your life last year. Which is saying a lot.

Your brother, one of the people you were closest to, got shot in the head and forgot who you were. Your best friend went to space for a week and came back 3/4 years older than you, taking away your previously established dynamic and leaving you to have to bond all over again w/ a new one. You may or may not have gone wayyy too far with your new superhero team, who now all hate you, because you fucked up big time*

And worst of all, when you do try to do the right thing, you end up forced to watch Alfred, a father figure to you, the only one at your birthday that year, the person who has been so patient, loving and trusting with you, even when you probably didnt deserve it...die. you watch him die, and feel it's all your fault.

And your dad never corrects you on that last point. So you run away.

First to your mom who can tell something's up with you, she knows you don't give up that easy, you decide not to stay with her because you remembered how actually, neither of your parents are good at communicating with you despite their best efforts, so now you're 14 and flying solo.

And you do fly solo. For a while. Make new friends, new enemies. You think you're better off for it. You've got your best friend and your brother back. They're not around as much. It's fine.

And eventually your dad tells you that it's not your fault that Alfred died. Bit late but it's appreciated. Really. There's a bit of a hiccup where you get possessed by a demon and wage war against your father but after that, all in all, you two are...together again.

You start to think maybe you want to give him another chance, for the two of you to be father and son.

And in a change of pace, it works out! It's going good, mostly. He insists you go to highschool, you resist, feel like he wants you to be something that you're not (wants you to be normal), but eventually you acquiesce for your own reasons. He cheers you on at soccer and nosies around at your fundraising events with the other parents and gives you a stern talking to about your choice of girlfriend. Because he cares.

Except all the while this is going on, your dad is currently having his brain slowly taken over by an evil version of himself that he created and every time you look away he's slowly tearing your family apart (your brothers are just barely keeping it together. The ones who didn't get lobotmized that is Jesus Christ). You keep taking his side in these conflicts, for whatever reason. Maybe because he promised it would be different this time, and it isn't** and you're going to stick with him until he keeps his word for once.

But at the end of the day?

It's like your brother says. You're not the one who saves him. Broadly speaking, you've made things worse and needed others to come save you. And what else is Robin really for? You thought it was about redemption and teamwork but guess you're wrong. It's about saving your self destructive, apparently two-faced and erratic father. And you can't even do that right.

* TT (2016) by Adam Glass is a racist ooc mess, but unfortunately it's still canon so I'm referencing here, though like a lot of works authors clearly wish weren't canon but are, it's been subsequently glossed over. Win? Maybe? Or not?

** again Zdarky's characterization of Damian is so outdated as to be ooc, and considering the way he constantly and explicitly uses it to illustrate Tim's strengths as robin, I'd argue there's. Also implications there. But the batshit insanity of the main batbook compared to B&R rn is crucial for this post, so I'm attempting to justify it. This time..

Thinking about this:

So what I love about this is how completely accurate it is to describe your kink orientation as a "need". Because it's not just something I would like out of a relationship. It's not a want. It's a need. I'm actively unhappy in vanilla relationships(or that one time I spent a year trying to be in a relationship with another sub *shudder*). I need to be able to submit to my partner. And honestly I just need to be able to submit in general. Not having that feels like I'm suffocating. So Louis saying that he and Armand had figured out what they NEEDED from each other, not wanted, but needed, is perfectly accurate.

Also look at the love in their eyes!!!! You'll NEVER convince me that they weren't in love in Dubai.

Like all good Angst ridden skk fics I was going to have Chuuya use corruption and then go through the details of the aftermath, but you know what? That's too predictable, and coming up with a good reason why Chuuya needs to use corruption is not only hard but requires too much set up.

Chuuya doesn't go around using it on small fry anyways. There would have to be a god-like equivalent threat and there are only so many it could be.

Fuck it. *Uncorrupts your Chuuya*

Got KNY role swap AU brainrot,,,

The Hashira would be as follows:

Kokushibo- Moon Hashira

Douma- Flower Hashira

Akaza- Mist Hashira

Gyokko- Water Hashira

Sekido- Rumble Hashira

Karaku- Wind Hashira

Aizetsu- Stone Hashira

Gyutaro- Insect Hashira

The Moons would be as follows:

Upper One- Gyomei

Upper Two- Sanemi

Upper Three- Kyojuro

Upper Four- Obanai

Upper Five- Muichiro

Upper Six- Shinobu

Lower One- Mitsuri

Lower Two- Giyu

Lower Three- Kanao

Lower Four- Tanjiro

Lower Five- Kaigaku

Lower Six- Kyogai

The demons I didn’t use would be younger or lower ranking slayers. Hantengu was previously the Rumble Hashira but is retired and has severe PTSD and anxiety, Urogi is working on developing Sound Breathing along with Nakime, and Zohakuten has only just passed Final Selection with his Serpent Breathing. They’re all brothers except for Hantengu who is their grandfather. Daki is Water Breathing I think but overall she’s a weak-ass slayer. Rui is Gyutaro’s tsuguko and Enmu is a Kakushi and he’s like totally delusional.

Instead of the Butterfly Mansion being the hospital, it’s Akaza’s Cloud Estate.

Genya is still a slayer and he’s sworn that he will kill Sanemi as both revenge for their family, whom Sanemi killed, as well as to just put Sanemi out of his misery. He also helps out at the Cloud Estate a lot, since Akaza doesn’t like getting help from people and takes on way too much at once.

Nezuko is a slayer and carries around a lil tiny demon Zenitsu on her back. Her brother, Tanjiro, was turned into a demon and he is very rapidly rising through the ranks of Moons. Nezuko is desperate to find a way to turn Tanjiro back and is helped by her friends Aoi and Murata.

Inosuke is a demon too, but he’s super isolated and very protective of his mountain territory.

Also Kyojuro was once a slayer himself but ended up becoming a demon. Not sure how yet. But there aren’t any flame breathers bc he became a demon before he could pass it on and he killed his brother and father as well.

I wanna keep going but now I’m sooooo eepy. I’ll write more tomorrow

Edit 7/25/2024: Part Two of my notes are up now

Summer camp AU, part 11!!

July 11th <3

Essential - @jegulus-microfic - words: 960

First part Previous part

"It is essential you stick with your partner!" Regulus heard the camp leader holler before leaving all of the volunteers to find their pairs. He was sat with Pandora, her head on his lap as they chatted, ignoring everything going on around them.

The girl flicked her shockingly pale blue eyes up to his, wearing a suspicious smirk. "So..."

"Oh no." Regulus groaned at the mischievous glint in her eyes.

She cleared her throat loudly and flicked him on the knee, Regulus letting out a sound of annoyance before flicking one of her platinum braids in the air. Letting out a giggle, she rolled her eyes and carried on. "So! How's your partner doing?" She spoke with an eyebrow wiggle.

"What's that supposed to mean?" He grumbled.

"You know exactly what I mean." She patted his leg. "You never hang out with us anymore, and when you do it's always 'James' this and 'Potter' that!" 

He paused, letting the thoughts run through his head. He supposes he does talk about him a lot, but he just needs to get it out of his system. There's just so much about James that he could talk about, the good, the bad, the strange, the attractive, all of it! There's so much he feels the need to say about him, because other people need to understand why James is so captivating. It isn't just him, right? 

He settled on denying everything, he can't deal with his own feelings right now. "No it isn't."

"Then how come I know exactly what shade of brown his eyes are, the shape of his waist, what you want to do to said waist..." She trailed off with a loud cackling laugh, shoving a dark skinned hand in front of her face when Regulus swatted her on the arm. "...and his favourite movie?" She finished with a sheepish smile.

"What's his favourite movie then?" Regulus questioned in triumph.

"He says it's the fast and the furious-" She answered quickly.

Regulus cut her off, both now spoke at the exact same time. "But it's actually Footloose." He looked down at her with an exasperated expression, she wore an amused and pitying smile on her lips.

Giving a shrug, Pandora tutted as he groaned and threw his head back onto the solid wood behind his head, trying his best to ignore how much that actually hurt. "Fuck."

"You finally figured it out?" She spoke in a soft tone.

He nodded into his hands, trying to stop the string of thoughts from rushing into his head and drowning him in everything James Potter, crashing away any other thoughts even lingering there. All he could think right now was purely one regrettable thing, one that he would quite like to forge,t but that didn't seem to prove possible.

He likes James Potter, doesn't he?

-

Two minutes into Regulus' mental breakdown, almost perfectly on time, over comes James Potter, skipping over to them with a wide smile. He pretty obviously wasn't aware of the mental turmoil he'd caused the dark haired boy in front of him, looking like he'd just found out something utterly tragic.

Slowly removing his fingers from his eyes, Regulus saw James looking between him and Pandora with an almost... annoyance to his face. Before the look flickered away, but not entirely, he looked purely uncomfortable when he looked at Pandora, who offered him a smile in welcome that he didn't respond. 

That's odd, James always smiles. Regulus couldn't help the itching feeling inside him to put a smile back on the older boys face, the bright, the stunning, the heart curing smile that ultimately made Regulus question absolutely everything.

Pandora slowly picked her head up, looking from James to Regulus multiple times, before jumping her knee up to her red painted lips to hide the wide grin that had taken over her slim face.

"I've come to collect Reggie." Regulus jutted a leg out to kick at the older boys ankle with a grumble. "What were you two talking about-"

"You." Pandora stated.

"Barty." Regulus spoke at the exact same time. 

The smile that took over James' face had to be blinding, the way his tongue darted out to trail over his bottom lip in amusement made Regulus' heart skip multiple beats, aching out of his chest. Oh, that's what that feeling was.

"Oh really?" He spoke in his curious, low voice. Regulus purposely trained his view on the floor in front of James' feet, but he could still feel a pair of lit up eyes in that specific shade of brown that Pandora was talking about, flit over him, all of him. He was sure the flush to his lightly freckled cheeks was showing even more now. 

Finally, he had the nerve to tilt his head up and let his gaze meet the other, shrugging. "I was telling Pandora about how Barty tripped you up." Regulus responded casually, thanking the gods that he managed to keep his voice clear and confident, because as much as he felt practically transparent right now, he most certainly didn't feel confident.

The smile seemed to dim slightly, much to Regulus' confusion, and even more when Pandora's head dropped right back into his lap. He swore he saw a twitch to James' normally soft eyes when Pandora smiled up at him.

To Regulus' shock, James marched even closer and hooked a hand through his elbow, pulled him up, and watched with a triumphant look as Pandora rolled off his lap quickly. "We have to go, we can't be late." James spoke, the twitch now gone and the lightness back to his face.

Regulus bid goodbye to Pandora, watching her waltz over to Lily with a bemused expression in her eyes, flicking her hair over her shoulder and giving one last wave before looking away.

That was... strange.

[mostly-delusional]

i feel like people will start pelting me with rocks as soon as i say it but i did not like what the writers did with rhaenyra and mysaria this episode. i have nothing against sapphic representation in stories. i just think it would have way more meaning if the relationship wasn't a half-assed idea thrown in at the last minute for the sake of getting brownie points.

the decision to have them kiss makes no sense to me because a) rhaenyra did not like this woman (you know, the ex-mistress of her husband??) and only barely tolerated her because of daemon, and b) rhaenyra idolised daemon all her life and loved him way too much to cheat on him. the entire scene just feels like another attempt by the writers to appease the fans instead of wanting to stay true to the story martin wrote. there are other canonically queer characters you could bring more attention to instead of doing the bare minimum for the sake of representation.

i feel like whatever narrative choices the writers are making are either for shock value or to appease the fans. house of the dragon is just a poorly written fanfiction of fire and blood at this point. because they're not adapting the characters and the story martin wrote but creating their own headcanons. and it's frustrating to see such a good story be disrespected like that again.

pls do not hate me for this because i know a lot of you are happy and feel represented because of that scene. I'm just frustrated with the show and the writing and wanted to express it. i swear i don't hate queer people 😭.

I'm expecting to you here. I'm waiting to you here.
