RE: great bastards OC

[this tag inspired me to create one lol]

Introducing: Visenya Stone. Her mother is an Arryn of Gulltown and chose this name because it would piss off\give a heart attack to the main Arryns and she thought it would be funny.

Visenya looks an Arryn through and throughout safe for taking after her grandfather in terms of health (as in: a bad one [I know Viserys 2's death was most definitely not natural but I headcanon that he had an awful immune system due to the incest]). She has a tiny bit of a complex about the weight behind her name and fixates on Doing The Right Thing as a sort of atonement.

She spends more time at court than the average great bastard because her family as a trade agreement with the crown (also source of anger for the main Arryns), and vibes best with Daeron II, who is growing increasingly awkward with how many bastard siblings have popped up recently but they otherwise have a nice relationship. Daenerys is just relieved that this one at least is not weird about power.

Visenya focuses on not causing any trouble so she leans more on her mother's side of the family and learns the trade. This is instead read as her wanting to exert her influence and her family's on the Vale due to being daughter of the king. She was not made for relations in a feudal system.

The rebellion starts and she does a 180° pivot by siding with Daemon b because she reasons that his loss would mean that all the trouble caused by the existence of the great bastards would be for nothing and she's still looking To Do The Right Thing. People don't really follow this. She's not sure she does either. She has to flee to Essos later and at that point her health comes with a steel chair because the climate has changed a bit. The Blackfyres are grieved by her death tho still confused as to why she tagged along.

Alternatively: a son of a servant of the Red Keep who hears of the legitimisation decree and shows up like "Hey can I get some money- Oh you're starting a rebellion, no thanks I'll just go back to the street" and nobody ever sees him again.

LOVE her insane inflexible moral code that she herself finds completely inconvenient and ruinous but follows anyways

#there is a LOT of brian's characterization we can get from both the main channel and from tta#in season 1 brian thought sending jay places was a funny game at firsr#in season 2 brian literally made REACTION VIDEOS to jay's entries#some of which were him pointing at the screen and going THERE I WAS DID YOU SEE ME#(albeit in the fucked up tta way)#in season 3 he wanted tim and jay to get along and work together#not just as pawns but because he did seem to care for them#alex encountering him and brian smiling in his face because alex didn't know where they were#alex saying 'i WILL find you' and brian literally responding with 'NUH-UH'#as hoody he's very driven by fear and keeps his distance from others#and he isn't aways nice#he tries to steer them towards the goal of killing alex#but you know what. he can never bring himself to do it#hoody ALWAYS hesitated#could've shot alex so many times and even had him tied up in benedict hall#but he just couldn't bring himself to do it no matter how much he believed alex needed to die#ok thx for listening to my ted talk i have so many thoughts and feelings about brian tags from @marble-cake hope u dont mind me posting them but yes i agree entirely w this as well

sometimes i see people say (more commonly in regards to shipping bray but this isn't a bray-defense post, it's a very general gripe) that it's hard for them to picture brian's dynamic with characters because "he had like five scenes"

and that leads into my pet-peeve of people treating the brian and hoody situation as the same as tim and masky. regardless of if you subscribe to the Masky-Is-An-Alter theory or not, it's definitely not the same. if you even just look at it in the way that the operator clearly affected every single character differently. from alex-to tim-to brian-to jay-to jessica.

the thing is...hoody is still brian. there's a lot of traits of brian's you can still read in hoody's choices and behavior even if they've been warped in some cases or the intent is different in others. if you follow the strings back, you can get a clue, even through hoody, how brian thomas was himself

the operator didn't brainwash or change him to something he wasn't capable of being, a different person entirely. the operator doesn't work like that. the operator twists and pulls out or pushes back what's Already There. it messes with your perceptions and relies heavily on isolation and paranoia so you get the extreme cases with people who maybe didn't even have a lick of paranoia or trust-issues or problems making friends.

that's not even a theory. we literally see it happen over time in alex and jay.

that's not to say that who the operator makes them become is 100% them, like clearly there's interference there, but i am saying it's all based on existing traits, flaws, priorities, etc.

so hoody is still brian, he's just a very very wounded and broken version of brian pushed to limits he never dreamed he'd have to hit. to say brian only got 5 scenes is just incorrect. he was a major supporting character the entire time and even got an entire comic issue (that ALSO heavily reinforces my point in my opinion. that's why i didn't reference it. 1. to avoid spoilers but also 2. because you can find all the clues even in the youtube webseries. just like lots of other things about brian that 3.5 just makes obvious and spells out But The Clues Were Already There) (the same as alex. it's just alex never gets another name. he's alex the whole time so then we get the OPPOSITE problem of people assuming operatorified alex is how alex always was and that's not true either. you can, of course, still see aspects of himself in there, but it's the same thing. while it's based off pieces of him, he's still being coerced and pressured by an outside force <- clarifying so it doesn't come off like i'm villainizing alex as a person because i'm not. nothing's as easy as that in marble hornets and that's why i love it. but that also still can mean both alexs are alex. and both brian and hoody are brian. but brian also resists the influence so alex got Full Operator'd compared to brian)

for something as trivial and simple those feelings sure are hard to get rid of

also made a gif a version for fun + alt version with no tears under the cut

the gif is in very low resolution...this is a feature (i could make it bigger but that would require saving each frame individually and than glueing it all together. also i feel like low resolution suits it better. aesthetically and fits the mood)

Thinking about having some sort of friends with benefits with Sanemi, except you’re not friends— not really. Sanemi doesn’t have friends. And he refuses to place a label onto whatever this is.

He never cuddles after, and it hurts when he leaves you naked and yearning on your simple futon. Disappearing back into the night without so much as a kiss goodbye, or a promise to return. Because why would Sanemi be so foolish to make a promise he knows he can’t keep.

But what you don’t realise is the real reason why he refuses to cuddle you. The reason he constantly keeps you at arms length, and just as you think you’re getting closer he pushes you even further away.

Sanemi wouldn’t call himself a smart man, but he’s smart enough to know that if he stayed to cuddle you after sex he wouldn’t be able to leave. The years of trained restraint ingrained into his body would wither and decay the moment you lay your head on his chest, closing his eyes and pretending that you could actually work. Your relationship reserved to be a hopeful dream, or a sordid fantasy that he can fist his cock to when he’s villages away and missing you.

But it’s not a relationship your family can stand to take, if you were brave enough to tell them. Your heart now promised to another as you’re prepared for an arranged marriage.

You should be thankful your father tells you, that he could’ve chosen someone far worse. An older, richer man used to taking whatever he wants— especially when a virgin fetches a pretty penny. If only he knew—

You expect Sanemi to fight with you. To offer himself up as a suitor to your family instead— it’s an honour to be betrothed to an hashira afterall. But he doesn’t.

It’s better this way, he tells you while he silently tries convince himself. To ignore the ache in his chest at the thought of you with another. Sharing their bed, your warm cunt and your love—

Love.

It’s morbid really, seeing your lover at your wedding. Watching from the back of the crowd as another man takes you as his own. But he doesn’t utter a word, tired eyes drinking in your beauty as he indulges himself just enough to picture a world where he’s standing with you.

You deserve better, he tells himself. He can’t watch another person he loves die, and you deserve to live more than anyone.

But what Sanemi doesn’t realise is that while he thinks he’s protecting you and keeping you alive, he’s slowly killing you from the inside.

i am reminded once again that people are so weird about rhaegar.

it’s interesting but nauseating to see the shift about him on the anti-rhaegar side of the fandom as it’s clear that people are still wildly and crazily deep in their fanon versions of him, but have decided he’s somewhat useful to them as the fandom becomes less accepting of the ‘targaryens are bad and all mad’ narrative that was floating around for years, so some of the antis have slightly changed their tunes.

i should clarify that the shift does seem subtle right now, so maybe it’s not going to affect the way the antis discuss rhaegar that much, but i find it interesting and a bit annoying so im gonna discuss it.

the shift is basically starting from ‘rhaegar was a moron and killed his family by fucking his whore so he deserved death’ and seems to be heading to ‘rhaegar was secretly really cunning and cruel and actually loved elia but she was iffy/neutral of him and he only got with lyanna to have a baby and left her to die cause he was always gonna go back to elia.’

both of these are crazy interpretations imo, but the second one is even worse than the first. the first interpretation is at least a tad bit understandable, but the second is completely based on fanon land nonsense.

because… how is rhaegar seen as cunningly cruel when he’s only been paralleled with dany and jon, two incredibly kind characters? one of the first times dany is directly paralleled to rhaegar is when dany was protecting others! while we do learn a lot about rhaegar through these parallels, there’s also an on page interaction that completely contradicts the ‘rhaegar is cruel and callous’ interpretation. it starts when jamie is recalling rhaegar’s departure to the trident, he remembers when jon darry snapped at him, telling him to obey and stay with aerys; then rhaegar takes the time to console a teenage jamie and ease his worries before he leaves. we have all this and yet people interpret this character as cunningly cruel and willing to use others for his own ends?

like bsffr… this is a character who prefers writing songs and singing them instead of violence and the song of swords. that says a lot about rhaegar, and it’s all good things.

speaking of good things said about rhaegar: barristan as whitebeard, when he was still sussing out dany, calls rhaegar able, determined, deliberate, dutiful, and single-minded. these are all positive descriptions. barristan also later says that there’s a lot of good to be said about rhaegar, more than any of dany’s other relatives. this is not the description of someone hiding a nasty personality behind a perfect facade, it’s a deliberate set up preparing us readers for the big rhaelya reveal and to contradict roberts anti rhaegar propaganda.

i also want to mention the other side of rhaegar. he was described as melancholy and was said to have sad eyes, and according to cersei he looked wounded. it seems like he suffered from depression. and based on the parallels between aerys and viserys, i think it’s safe to assume that aerys was likely abusive to rhaegar like viserys was to dany. what’s written in a world of ice and fire supports my case and shows that things were always very very tense between rhaegar and aerys. things were so tense in fact that aerys even brought varys in as spymaster partly because he mistrusted rhaegar. that is a very terrible environment for someone to grow up in, and yet rhaegar still pulled through so much so that characters still sing his praises years after his death. that’s impressive and shows how good of an impression he left on so many characters.

now, i also want to discuss the rhaegar x elia ship as it’s getting more popular as the tides keep shifting. one quote that these shippers use to support their ship is the “rhaegar was fond of elia” remark made by barristan, but the context of that conversation is specifically left out by these shippers. basically the conversation began when dany is telling barristan that she’ll do her duty and marry hizdahr, so she asks barristan if rhaegar wed for duty or love. barristan hesitates and tells her that rhaegar was fond of elia but says nothing about love. context is key here. and while it’s not surprising that these shippers need to strip away the context as they have to go up against rhaelya, which has a lot of textual support, it is deceitful and proves that their case is weak in compassion to the build up of rhaelya.

anyways… yeah… this shifting tide is weird af and seems like a huge backwards dive into fanon land, and while i can’t control anyone i think i’ve done my best to stay true to canon by mentioning what we know about rhaegar and trying to keep my interpretations grounded.

tbh… i don’t even like this character that much, but i think his impact on the fandom is so cool. cause it’s like… here is rhaegar, a sad boy, and yet so many people treat him like he’s satan incarnate responsible for everything bad. it’s like so wild and so far from what little we know of him. so, basically, because of this fandom discourse, i became interested in this character and am now one of his defenders. yeahhhhh….

also, because so many people liked to basically shit on rhaegar for ‘doing nothing’ and ‘just letting war break out’ i found it kinda fun to theorize about what he may have actually been doing at the time of the rebellion. as of now, i’m pretty set in my belief that he specifically went to dorne to conspire with house martell and potential allies in order to overthrow aerys. my theory is based on what we know of his personality, and i think his last words to jamie clearly hint that he had some sort of plan in place; and since he was last in dorne, it’s only logical to conclude that there was something going on.

that’s all
