#normal to want and possible to achieve etc etc

[allyriadayne]

do you have any thoughts about if jace was born as a girl? if we're going by what viserys said, that any child rhaenyra and laenor have regardless of gender would be made heir we can assume little jacaera (god that's a terrible name) would be her mother's heir. how much would that complicate things in terms of her being a bastard? also does this increase or decrease the chances of her getting married off to her uncle aegon...

oh boy do i. my thought goes more along the lines of rhaenyra naming luke her heir because her claim is an exception and not the rule. i don't think she wants to rock the boat more with a girl heir, even if jacaera (i do like the name.....) is everything she could want in an eldest child. much of jace's struggles wouldn't change in jacaera, only that her main worry would be how to prepare luke to reign after their mother, esp when she (just like in canon) consideres him weak and soft.

to me the bastard issues doesn't complicate her situation more than if he were a boy, but don't get me wrong, this jace would have the same identity issues as canon jace because being a targaryen princess is still the most important thing. maybe the insults would have a more sexualized nature due to bastards and bastard women being considered promiscuous. this in turn would make jacaera even more stiff and aloof with the rest of the people. i've pondered this issue before (as one does) and l reached the conclusion that like rhaenyra before her, jacaera would have some issues with her gender as well, related to her insecurity around being a princess. how to perform femininity, how not to fall into the traps of being called a slut for simply having the rumors of bastardy around her, etc.

the possibility of jacaera being betrothed to aegon is HIGH. super high. if luke is to take the throne, then jacaera is the one that would be sacrificed for the family. this is what jacaera thinks she should do, even if rhaenyra is not so sure she should give her first daughter to her brother (hey! parallels with viserys!) but the girl has made a whole powerpoint presentation about why is the best path for the family. the thing is that because luke is too, jacaera has overcompensated to the point that she feels she has to be the one to save the family by breaching the gap between the greens and the blacks. and that means marrying the uncle she absolutely didn't worship as a child. 'tis a sad fate!

of course, driftmark happens and the betrothal fizzles out a bit until the families meet again after six years and viserys remembers about the best way to unite their families hehe. i think it's more likely that the greens would agree to have a daughter of rhaenyra with them rather than leaving on of their own with her. and jacaera is so dutiful and quiet that they are sure aegon could make her fall in love and get her out of the way (they don't know about jacaera twenty step plan to get aegon in line. aegon is intrigued and wants to explore her limits like in canon but jacaera has no time for that nonsense. it's time to make this uncle know his place).

Miraheze approved my private wiki on Thursday so I have been busy desperately trying to teach myself how To Do The Things I Need To Do. Unfortunately I have errands and shit I need to run this morning but my heart is exactly here, trying to finish this swadesh list and think of templates and pages I still need to make.

I'm a dedicated new year resolutioner, because that is what happens when you have a January first birthday and a life that needs to run on task lists + prescription simulants. This year my sole goal was to survive mourning my love-of-my-life dog, which is the kind of goal that people either understand is a full life year dedicated process or treat as a non goal. My secondary and very easy goal was not give a fuck about anyone else's evaluation of this goal. It's a wry joke not joke of mine that Ernie Dog was considerate to the very end and fought his lung cancer with fierce precision: he tidily exited this world on December 31st. There is no anniversary he could have chosen that would be more easily memorable.

Easy timekeeping but he left my birthday my own. Always a gentleman, Ernesto.

But I'm not here, yet, to be sad about my dog in public. This is, presumably, an activity for tomorrow. We'll find out.

Resolutions, right? This year I'm back to form because you gotta be, eventually, and so I have many productivity focused goals. One serious physical goal that involves specific metrics and getting a personal trainer again. But my fun body goal, however, is to get the fuck back on that pole. Before I got my knee injury I was most of the way to landing a solid human flag each time, so I figure that's a sub goal in there, somewhere, folded in, because do you know how obnoxiously cool it is to be able to do those on the fly? Extremely. I'm gonna be so annoying.

My artistic and professional goals are secret, by which I mean: I've had several hours of conversation about them, but only with people I trust.

I think it's important to have fun, silly goals, though, to mix up your list. I'd say stupid goals except that building fun into your life is a deadly serious priority.

So I am resolving to:

take pictures of ordinary places around home base the way that street photographers do when they're on vacation, and

leave comments on Ao3 consistently after years and years of being a filthy freeloader

which should be a good time, I think.

Actually a bit surprised that Cap's allergy to the word "cute" has been brought up a few times after it was first revealed.. And that it was brought up once when Spinel was in the vicinity in HZ054..

I wonder if it'll be brought up again in the future.
