Aegon who finds himself back in his younger body after dying is horrified and wants to make things right. But despite his efforts to become a better person, no one believe his motives and keep snapping at him. Pushing him around without a care. Until he tries too hard and get into an accident and falls into a coma. Now, finally, his family might be starting to realise they were wrong about him and they panic.But he ain't waking up anytime soon.

Oh noooo! 🥲

But is this the part where we find out this is a Sleeping Beauty case and he can be awoken by a kiss????

Jacaerys, who had started to believe him and now misses him so. He doesn’t rest until he can find something to awaken his uncle. Puts Luke and even Aemond to the task, too. Helaena helps too, she feels guilty for not speaking up for her brother, but she was too scared to. She had seen what had happened to her, to all of them in dreams and she was hesitant to believe it could he changed. But when Aegon fell deep into this dreamless sleep, she understood it could; it would.

She then tells them, shows them a book of an old Valyria tale. Of a promised prince that would change the course of things by befalling a deep sleep that could only be interrupted by an act of true love. Everyone was freaking out then. They all try their best. His mother sits by his side and cries for hours, saying how sorry she is for how he treated him all this time. It was never his fault that her girlhood had been robbed from her so soon. She promised to try and be the mother he and his siblings deserved. His big sister was next. She talked to him about stuff from her youth, how she remembers him as a child, how curious and chubby he had been and how she wished she’d done more to create a familial both between them. How she wishes she had encouraged his and her children’s relationship more, for she knew that they all cared about each other, but she hadn’t cared enough. Viserys goes too, it’s a bit awkward but he talks to him, tells him tales of Old Valyria and their dragons. Awkwardly apologises for his neglect, promising to listen to him and Helaena more. His siblings circle him too, recalling their best childhood moments, they share laughs, they feel lighter. Aegon does not wake.

This goes on for a days, until finally his nephews visit him too. Luke talks to him first, little Joffrey is too young to remember their tales but is happy to listen and be included. Jacaerys remains silent for most of it. After a while, Lucerys gives him a knowing look and sighs, taking Joffrey’s hand and telling him that big brother wishes some time alone with uncle Aegon.

A shuddering breath leaves Jacaerys’ lips and he deflates. He approaches his uncle, sitting where Luke was just moments ago, and looks at him. His uncle looks pale, the dark circles under his eyes have gotten lighter upon his rest. He has light freckles that Jace hadn’t noticed before, and beautiful, thick lashes. His pretty lips look dry, and Jacaerys can’t help himself when he swipes his thumb over them, feeling the soft, patchy skin. He strokes his jaw in a feather-like touch; his uncle is so beautiful. He’s always thought so. His attention awlays made Jace’s heart flutter, especially when one day all of a sudden, after all those years, he’d appear on Dragonstone, wishing to speak to his mother. Everyone thought he’d lost his mind, that he was too deep into his cups to go back. But when no one seemed to take him seriously, he’d turn to Jace. No Luke or their cousins, but him. And suddenly Jace felt ten again, when he and Aegon were attached to the hip and Aegon would teach him all his mischievous ways. But this was different, he knew. His uncle was serious in what he was saying, almost manic with it.

When they all reunited in King’s Landing, there was a moment, when Aegon had lost all hopes of people believing him, that he had gone to Jace and he cried on his shoulder; muttering how it was too late and inevitable at this point. That he didn’t understand why he’d been given a second chance if it’d be pointless. Jace held him through it, and that’s when it’d happened. He’d fallen into the deep sleep in Jace’s arms and he couldn’t help him. Jacaerys felt like it was his fault for not showing his support more loudly. And now, almost a fortnight later, Aegon still sleeps.

“I-I’m… I’m sorry I didn’t visit sooner,” Jace takes one of his uncle’s hands in his. “I was busy trying to find a way to bring you back. And I have failed. Our last attempt and hope has not worked so far and I don’t know what to do.” He can’t contain the sob that escapes his mouth. “Please, Aegon. I need you to wake up. You’ve made it, everyone will believe you now. They’re sorry, for not seeing it sooner. I’m sorry—for not fighting harder for you, for not advocating for you loud enough.”

He rests his cheek on their intertwined hands and lets his tears fall. He continues to talk, saying that whatever it is Aegon saw or experienced, they will stop it this time. That they will be united as one house, like they were always meant to be. But not without him. Never without him. “We need you, uncle.” He says after a while, long after his tears have dried and he feels helplessly empty. “I need you.” Then he hesitates—but ultimately does it. He leans forward and presses his lips gently to chapped ones. With his shattered heart beating too close to his throat, he steps back, closing his eyes tightly before opening them again.

He takes one last look at his uncle and turns to leave.

And then…

“Jace?”

Jacaerys’ breath catches.

If my mom sees a significant amount of blood she gets lightheaded, and has fainted on some occasions. Once it happened when we were kids, I wasn't there to witness it but I heard the story from my dad. Basically my brothers, around 7 or 8 at the time, were playing outside while my mom was making their lunch, and she accidentally cut her finger. It wasn't anything serious, but it drew a fair bit of blood and she passed out. My dad saw this and rushed over, but he didn't really know what to do so he just sort of started slapping her to wake her up (not recommended, but he had no idea and panicked)

At that exact moment my brothers both came in from playing, and all they saw was our mom unconscious on the floor and our dad slapping her. So, like, without even saying a word to each other they both just INSTANTLY start whaling on him, like, full blown attack mode to defend our mom. Which obviously didn't help the situation, but she did wake up and everything was fine.

Now our dad says that he's actually really glad they attacked him over what they thought was going on, because it means he raised good boys. And I still think that's true, they're very good boys.

White people are miserable, racist losers period. They’ve even been getting mad at Japanese people for correcting them about Yasuke as well.

i really can't emphasize how heartbreaking it is that the recent harassment campaign against @/90-ghost (among others; see: 1, 2, 3) has led to well-meaning people telling others not to listen to him. he is one of the most visible survivors of the genocide here on tumblr. his entire journey of escape is so well documented! and yet, it only took a few people confidently pointing fingers to create an entire witch hunt accusing him and other palestinians of being disreputable scammers and liars.

i can't help but feel like the reason why people were SO eager to believe those accusations, is because it was uncomfortable to see posts from palestinians every day asking for our time, attention, money, and support; so when someone presented the perfect excuse to ignore all those posts and asks while also taking the high ground, people just LEAPED onto it. they wanted to believe it, because it would be more comfortable.

honestly, i understand feeling overwhelmed by bad news, by the number of asks and messages in your inbox, and so on and so forth. i understand needing to set boundaries for yourself so you don't get burned out. i think this is really when you have to have a set of principles to fall back on, even when you're tired, uncomfortable, angry, and/or sad. so here's the one i suggest, which has been working for me best: don't make your discomfort with this situation into someone else's problem, and for god's sake don't make it a public problem.

if you hate seeing fundraiser posts or news about gaza, i can't emphasize this enough, JUST MOVE ON. KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT AND SCROLL PAST! all you have to do is absolutely nothing. which is what you were doing anyway, so it shouldn't be hard. if you don't have the heart to read, or reblog, or share, or donate, or support in other ways, at the very least, don't obstruct the efforts of people who ARE trying to make a difference. this is, quite literally, the least you can do.

I don't normally do Just Characters Swearing, but. ...this kind of wrote itself and then wouldn't leave my head. it comes from both a piece of character-writing advice that has always stuck with me, and also my conviction that Leona is 1000% funnier as a character if his dialogue has to stay G-rated. let Kalim say fuck, but don't let Leona say bastard.

(I'm sorry)

I like to think that Vulcans who come to understand that Humans just can’t try to process emotions the same way as them, it’s just healthiest to let it out in harmless ways, decide that venting and stuff should be taken just as seriously as Vulcan’s meditation time, and will encourage the Humans around them to complain about what’s upsetting them

People who are used to aloof Vulcans who avoid Humans at all cost running into one comforting a Human

“The purpose of this event was that every participant brings a food item of sorts, correct?”

“Yeah!!”

“And they did not follow this rule while insulting dishes that were brought?”

“Mostly just my dish but yeah >:(“

“How illogical”

I love how on Tumblr, "media literacy" has become "Um, just because someone writes about this doesn't mean they're endorsing this. I hate all these media puritans ruining everything."

I'm sad to inform you that knowing when and whether an author is endorsing something, implying something, saying something, is also part of media literacy. Knowing when they are doing this and when they're not is part of media literacy. Assuming that no author has ever endorsed a bad thing is how you fall for proper gander. It's not media literacy to always assume that nobody ever has agreed with the morally reprehensible ideas in their work.

Sometimes, authors are endorsing something, and you need to be aware when that happens, and you also need to be aware when you're doing it as an author. All media isn't horny dubcon fanfic where you and the author know it's problematic IRL but you get off to it in the privacy of your brain. Sometimes very smart people can convince you of something that'll hurt others in the real world. Sometimes very dumb people will romanticize something without realizing they're doing it and you'll be caught up in it without realizing that you are.

Being aware of this is also media literacy. Being aware of the narrative tools used to affect your thinking is media literacy. Deciding on your own whether you agree with an author or not is media literacy. Enjoying characters doing bad things and allowing authors to create flawed or cruel characters for the sake of a story is perfectly fine, but it is not the same as being media literate. Being smug about how you never think an author has bad intentions tells me you're edgy, not that you're media literate. You can't use one rule to apply to all media. That's not how media literacy works. Sorry! Sorry! Sorry! Aheem heem. Anyway.
