And you're wearing time like a flowery crown. Sitting that, sitting that big cat down. And I'm alone on the summit now, trying not to let my light go out.

What do you make of Rhaenyra asking about Mysaria’s scar and her subsequent non-answer from Ep 2? I’ve read F&B but I feel like I was totally missing something, whether it was a reference or foreshadowing or symbolism. Love your takes on HOTD and I request your wisdom

hmmm i interpreted it as— rhaenyra has just now witnessed daemon’s violence and has very recently been victim to his domestic violence. mysaria comes in and seems to clock this and confesses she was also mistreated by daemon. in her whole backstory monologue she talks about how she tried to rise from being just a woman to be sold, attaching herself to more powerful violent men, then eventually forging her own path, possibly doing morally dubious things with good intentions— only for none of it to matter in the end. she knows this is also rhaenyra’s story, and is trying to leverage some empathetic connection so as to be freed. (and eventually this empathetic connection causes her to return to rhaenyra (which will ultimately doom her oops))

so i thought rhaenyra might be asking, did daemon give you that scar? (esp bc the manifestation of his violence towards her was choking!) and whether he did or not, it’s a recognition that they have faced similar things and might be able to form a trust based on that which is an absolutely FASCINATING way to adapt their relationship since we dont really get much about *why* theyre allies in the book. love love love that theyre giving mysaria motivations and making her a real character lol

I’m worried that I don’t actually love music, I just like it in an extremely superficial way. I don’t really have a solid grasp on music theory, so a lot of the cool little things and techniques that musicians do goes over my head a lot if the time.

Like, I’ll say something like “Yes, I know exactly what chord progression means. Love it when those chords progress,” and I’ll be completely bullshitting.

If I only love what I can hear on the surface, do I really love it?

I also wish I were better at just listening to music in general. I frequently find myself tapping out the rhythm of the percussion from the beginning of Newspaper by Fiona Apple (great song, really twisted and heavy, but great), but whenever I get to the part where she starts singing in my head, I just restart the song and go back to tapping out those same beats.

My dumb zoomer brain immediately gravitates attention to the vocals, so all the cool stuff going on with the percussive elements is lost. And that song is mostly *just* the percussion and her voice, it can’t be that hard to hear both!

Idk, just thinking about that a lot.

“I watch him let go of your hand, I wanna stand between you

But it's not what I'm supposed to do

I watch him walk over, talk over you, be mean to you

And it makes me feel close to you,”

on my knees in relief since i realized pluto was in his 7h this whole time and is going to be leaving it soon. i can breathe easier knowing he might not have this mesmerizing destructive grip anymore. and that the long line of women hes hurt this way ends this march

Someone asked about places where they could find my creative works & how I make a living.

I’ve been a self-employed artist since 2017. The current economic climate is making that *very* difficult and I may well be giving up my beautiful business soon, but for now, I’m still clinging on by my fingernails. I’ve survived a lot longer than many of my colleagues and I’ve been VERY grateful and fortunate. (Yes, my profile photo is actually me, very cold, in my freezing workshop, in my ok-to-get-covered-in-paint-ugly-clothes 😂)

You can find me/support me here:

Etsy: I have *two* Etsy shops. I make (currently exclusively Good Omens) fan-based clothing, bags, and cushion covers at FullMoonFandom. and I make fan art and children's home decor, all hand painted on high quality medite wood at Lioncub Creations. This shop has been my main business for the past 8+ years and is my bread & butter. It's been hit HARD by the cost of living crisis.

Ko-fi: If you enjoy my writing, or just generally take pity on me, I'd think you were bloody amazing if you could please buy me a coffee (although I'll actually spend it on bills...sorry). No pressure, though, I know money's tight.

AO3: I write Good Omens fanfic under the username imposterssyndrome, I’ve been writing since November after my trauma therapist recommended it and it’s been the best thing I’ve ever done (especially after my mother told 8yo me that my writing was shit and I literally never wrote another piece of fiction until age 40). I skew angsty, love historical stuff and researching stuff. Did I mention Here Be Angst?

Wavelengths & Frequencies - I'm writing this wonderfully fun enemies-to-lovers human AU with the ineffable @shadesofecclescakes. This is a DJ AU and bloody hell does it ever help that she's a professional DJ herself, because I would have given up in the first chapter otherwise. This longfic will be funny, VERY piney, a teensy-tiny bit angsty (but not too much), smutty, and just generally a whole lot of fun. And it's got footnotes! And newspaper articles! And other stuff which I won't spoiler yet!. Rated E (and P for Piney-As-Fuck). WIP, published every Monday, due to be completed by Feb.

Free - a human AU, which begins with them meeting in an acute mental health ward, where they have both recently been admitted. Initially distrustful of one another, they slowly realise how much they have in common. It is VITAL to read the content warnings as there are many mental health themes. Rated E. Now complete.

Epistolary Series - Aziraphale's diaries, read by Crowley, a romp through history, the series includes an Aziraphale POV and more, rated E, currently made of 3 completed works.

Ineffable Inspirations Series - Individual oneshots, all based on songs. Currently 2 stories, based on Fiona Apple’s Shadowboxer (set in 1941) & Finger Eleven’s Paralyzer (set in 2021)
