I also believe that Miquella was jealous of Mohg/saw him as competition regarding his original plans

and intentionally made the Mohgwyn Dynasty look like an awful alternative to what he tried to do with the Haligtree.

This is on my personal speculative side but with the in-game context of what the Formless Mother religion symbolized in the Land's of Shadow, we may assume Mohg and his followers celebrated her in a similar fashion before Miquella took over his mind.

The bloodfiends are literally just vibing until you attack them/invade their territory. Bloodshed isn't the only thing this Outer God represents, it's also a symbolism for maternal love/birth/rebirth for those shunned and cursed (Hence why she blessed Mohg and showed up to the "subjugated tribe" in the Land's of Shadow), which we know from the "Outer God Heirloom"

I believe this deity is still twisted and not to meddled around with, but I don't think the Formless Mother exclusively stands for murdering people. We also know that the bloodfiends resulted to SH occasionally to serve their "mother" (which is in itself a little problematic but it also indicates that they do not walk around and randomly kill everything in their path) (see "Bloodfiend's Fork")

So my take is that when Miquella brainwashed Mohg this entire cult got corrupted too, making it the center of (mercy) killings and death while Miquella is the only anchor of life, we see this in the "Lord of Blood Exultation Talisman":

Spilling blood to create a new life. Which is, naturally speaking, nonsense and as I said before, a lot of things point to the fact that the FM has natural roots, while giving hope to those who were shunned.

This indicates that Mohg had similar goals to Miquella with his Haligtree, offering outcasts a haven/place to be/belong to. Miquella always relied on enchanting/manipulating people to achieve his goals, I guess he was pissed that Mohg was able to do this, only by being naturally charismatic, since we know that he had to be quite the leader if he pulls actual reasonable people like Ansbach to his side. He was the perfect leader for outcasts and the oppressed (see additonally my post about Mohg's appearence being extremley devine in the Land's of Shadow) and therefore was a direct threat to the things Miquella wanted to achieve with his Haligtree. Because why follow Miquella when there already was a similar cult/religion with a charismatic leader like Mohg?

周穆王谒见西王母

or, King Mu of Zhou meets Queen-Mother of the West

Xiwangmu (Queen Mother of the West), according to Shanhaijin, is a goddess of the Kunlun mountains, with leopard's tail and tiger's teeth, wearing sheng (胜)-ornaments on her tangled hair, commanding the Calamities and Pestilence of Heaven, and the Five Destructive Forces.

《山海经·西山经》：西王母其状如人，豹尾虎齿而善啸，蓬发戴胜，是司天之厉及五残。

it's been years and I still don't understand why the fandom and even GOT writers keep saying "Jon is the rightful king to the throne"

did we watch the same thing? am i missing something? are the rules different? I thought when you lose the war of succesion and a new king is chosen then you have no right to the throne.

Robert is the king and his family were the "rightful heirs" and Targaryens (yes even Dany) has no claim to the throne at that point. they lost it,it's over

now you can only be the rightful heir if you're a Baratheon or if you win the crown for yourself; which is something Dany did; she faught and won the crown for HERSELF with her armies and dragons. why tf would she give her own accomplishment to Jon? why Jon is still the "rightful" heir?

his dad wasn't even the king and that dynasty is over; Dany built something for herself, she didn't simply come over and say "hey this thing was my dad so get up"

it's like if Aegon I conquers Westeros and then give it to a random son of an older brother that he never even met because that said brother was the first in line for whatever kingdom they had in old Valyria

The Hall of the Holy Mother: One of the Oldest Places of Worship

The Hall of the Holy Mother (聖母殿) in Jinci Temple (晉祠), Shanxi. Built during the reign of Emperor Renzong (仁宗) of the Northern Song dynasty (1023-1032).

The hall is part of the ever evolving temple complex founded about one and a half thousand years ago. Over the centuries of countless transformations, it has accumulated buildings of various periods and styles.

The temple is dedicated to Shuimu (水母), The Old Mother of Waters, witch-goddess of Chinese lore, appearing in the form of a dragon, a snake or a charming lady with a sword and a yoke.

*Implied noncon, small Miquella. Link leads to full image.

Miquella's charm compels love, not controls actions, so what were to happen if the one charmed has a twisted view of love? Only Mohg acts that possessive, so no, he did not beat the allegations, and I for one, am happy about that.

Watching Ep. 4 from Domina 2 I wanted to capture this moment. This is the only scene in which I really liked Vipsania, when she saves her half-brother Lucius Caesar from her father's wrath. But this image, extrapolated from the original context, made me think of our beloved Vipsania with little Drusus Minor. She and Tiberius certainly loved their only son very much, and this is how I always imagined a sweet moment between mother and son.

Magnificent Century Rewatch: One Picspam per Episode

Episode 17: The Double Joy

-My dear mother used to say "walk barefoot on earth and it shall take away all your troubles and sorrows, earth shall give you happiness and joy"

-Your mother spoke well, one can only find peace in earth. But I'm not sure if it is on earth or in it.

i keep thinking about how grace absolutely tormented control and he continuously tried to make them coworkers and not enemies to try and befriend her in some way even after she aired out his dirty laundry in front of the coworkers who actually liked him

but still at the very end he said grace shouldn’t go in the tower/tunnel. because if anyone’s going to survive this and get out, it’s the one with something to go back to

even after she was horrible to him he still thought about how she has a girlfriend at home waiting for her. that she has a life worth living, a life worth returning to

i just really like how he never resented her. he understood where her animosity came from. he literally just had her threatening to shoot him in the head. still thought of her and considered her, wanted her to live. man
