#only one can be queen

family tea party.

(in my mind, Radagon is the pure Order with no kindness half, and he always yearns to converge with Marika + be on equal footing with her, so in my drawing he’ll always be kinda nuts)

POV you’ve informed the Queen and the Court’s Sorcerer of something and they very clearly know something that they’re not letting on

Anyway, if you're a fan of Bruce and Steph having a father/daughter relationship you should probably go read about Oliver and Mia.

sometimes i think about the fact that regina has literally held emma’s heart in her hands. the intimacy of soft fingers slipping under layers of skin and bone and blood and pulling out the muscle that keeps emma alive. cradled in the palm of her hand, glowing, still beating. regina having to be so gentle so as to not hurt her. and emma allowing regina to have that power over her. and then i think about the fact that regina’s fingers were bare and not gloved. the way she could feel every vein, every groove. the way she was not limited in her ability to see all of emma. something about the way regina handed the heart back to emma. placed it into the palm of her hand like an offering. look, i kept it safe for you, i love you, do you trust me?

Season 4 hope/prediction: Deb's show is solid, zero issues, runs flawlessly with great ratings, but her personal life is completely eroding. We start with her discovering Marcus is leaving, and it culminates in DJ going into labor right before a taping. Deb chooses the show. When it's over, and she finally flies to Vegas, it's too late -- Aiden's not letting her in because he loves his wife too much to let DJ get into a shouting match with her mom right after giving birth, and instead takes the brunt of Deb's wrath, with her making excuses and talking about how they used her money for IVF, and anyway, DJ's fine, so who cares if she wasn't there? Kathy's in the room with DJ and the baby (DJ's the closest she has to a daughter, after all) and Deb leaves too furious to think about how badly she's hurt her family.

She heads back to her Vegas mansion -- empty, obviously, Josefina and the dogs would be in LA -- and pops open a bottle of wine. Alone. Completely alone. Can't call Marty, she has no friends, the closest she's got would be Kiki and wouldn't that be embarrassing, calling your poker dealer to talk about your feelings --

and then Ava's there. She got the news about DJ's labor, she got the story from Aiden (who was distraught, by the way, man's too much of a sweetheart for Vance drama), a spare key from Damian (happy to pawn that off on her, though if it isn't returned promptly he's taking legal action) and has arrived just in time to see the Deborah Vance having a breakdown the likes of which no one thought physically possible. Crying gives you wrinkles, you know. But Ava has to be here. She's the physical embodiment of a lesson Deb never truly learned: you don't have to like someone to love them.

In my imaginary fantasy land that I am concocting this would then subsequently lead into them fucking nasty but I understand that this may be a step too far for the surprisingly large number of very normal people who watch this show and would forgive JPL for not taking it that far. However I do believe they should fuck about it and let Ava take the reigns in their relationship while they see how many of Deb's bridges they can un-burn.

Can a gay girl get an Amen?

I keep thinking about Lewis' review of The Hobbit, because he claimed that the main thing contemporary reviewers compared it to was Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. Was fantasy in that poor of a state that Alice was the closest thing they could think of? Comparing that chaotic fever dream to Tolkien's intricately crafted world? Lewis does specify that the comparison is that both books are by an "Oxford professor at play", but they're otherwise so different that putting the two in the same category baffles me.

Asking how your dadadoo and syringeon would interact....

Also your syringeon is absolutely PERFECT I'm putting him in the oven lovingly and serving him with a comical apple in his mouth

Their interactions aren’t much different than what they have in the game. Only more dramatic

i will raise hell to the bitter end.

I don’t think Messmer visits the jar clinic in his Keep often… they remind him too much of his Mother.

Btw, he wears a golden ring on the middle finger of his left hand…

in Palmistry, that indicates responsibility, balance, justice. usually it’s sth the head of the family wear, but no other characters wear sth like that. he’s truly the sole heir to all of Marika’s happiness & all of her pain.

So what do we think the Bright queen thinks Ashton actually… Is? Because I have thoughts.

I Think she Suspects him of being more then he says he is, “The one you call Ashton” “Who or what they are.” but as we all know, Ashton can’t lie for shit. And the bright queen has noticed his horrid charisma. So I personally believe she thinks he’s more then he says he is, But even he doesn’t know it yet.

She knows he’s not a Beacon. Not in the traditional sense. Both Allura and Essek figured that out and The Bright queen has centuries more of experience with these devices. We know she is incredibly tuned into dunamancy (She noticed nott using the mote of possibility) she was already turning to look at Ashton before he took the initiative and showed it off. She also said to Ashton “I do not know what you hold inside either. But there are signatures of power that are familiar and intriguing.” I honestly see little reason for her to lie to him. The only possible way is if she’s trying to tempt them to come to the dynasty but ashton is so obviously already tempted that she doesn’t have to.

I definitely believe she Thinks of Ashton as some form of Gift from the Luxon in one way or another. Possibly she believes them a champion or Vessel, the luxon experiencing the world through this Genasi. I’m not entirely sure. But I do believe she sees it as a good thing. “It's hard to describe, but I feel like I trust them” is what she told the group when she saw the dunamantic cluster that is ashton. And when she was convincing chetney to act as spy for her, she started with “You might yet be a bright spot in our future and history”.

btw I in no way think she wants them dead. If she wanted him dead she could have done it by now. And I don't think she wants to strap them to a table and dissect them. Her dissection will probably come in the form of an interrogation. She 100% wants him to find the luxon and become their faithful, and begin working with her on its reassembly. She told him she wants to show him something, if he doesn't find it first. And if he does, wants to "compare notes."

And of course we’ve already heard she wants them under the Dynasty’s control. I am unsure what she means and her intentions with asking Chetney for a “Means” Of bringing them under the Dynasty’s control. Like is she looking for a weakness? a weapon? a convincing argument? Who knows. I don’t think she wants them harmed unless she deems them a danger to her people and culture. And of this latest episode, I think she believes the exact opposite.

Either way, The bright queen wants to collect this crystal. To what extent and why is interesting.

I’m thinking about Gwen and Elyan tonight folks….. they were siblings, finally reunited after years, reconciled, and obviously cared for one another very much and there were hardly any on-screen interactions between them save for episodes where either one of them was in danger of some kind. Sigh.

I also know for a fact their exchanges would’ve been hilarious because it seemed that Elyan was the one person that knew how to annoy Gwen at light-speed LOL

um calenhad aeducan lore. known fondly as prince cal by the people of orzammar and also me. he’s called that after the founder of the theirin line, because after ferelden successfully rebelled against orlesian rule, orzammar was like oh fuck we’ve got to repair that relationship as if we didn’t just sit by the whole time that was happening. so there were a bunch of these kind of uh diplomatic publicity stunts happening around the time he was born. and nothing about his life has ever not been someone else’s angle

his mother was one of endrin’s lesser concubines from a lower status house, and every jealous eye turned in her direction when she bore the king a son. despite that, endrin’s queen took her and the baby under her wing. it wasn’t entirely altruistic. the queen had no sons of her own, so cal could serve instead as her “contender” for heir against trian, the son of her long-time rival, a favoured concubine called lady rosdrada. the queen also happened to be a notable warrior, a powerful reaver, who died years later on a deep roads expedition under mildly suspicious circumstances, with many blaming lady rosdrada. (she was never publicly accused but neither did the king ever marry her and allow her to rise to the queen’s vacant place, a fact bitterly resented by her faction.)

cal’s mother, who returned the queen’s protection and favour with fierce loyalty, was first among rosdrada’s accusers. furious that punishment never came, she changed almost overnight from a shy, humble woman to a politician who could in her own right engage in the life or death battle for succession, raising her son to be the fulfilment of the late queen’s ambitions. he was trained since childhood in both the ways of princely charm and the ways of a reaver warrior, all to be the vengeance of a woman whose face he sometimes struggles to remember. perhaps there was a time, as boys, when he tried to be a brother to trian despite it all, but with his mother’s teachings always in his ears and trian less bearable each year, he’s long since accepted that deadly conflict between them is inevitable. he’s never eager to be the ruthless aeducan prince, but he’s always done his duty, however ugly. he never turns down the foul-tasting reaver concoctions, or quakes when he’s sent to the deep roads. he always defends his house’s honour and makes the point in blood. anything less is death; his mother tells him so

he doesn’t truly want the throne. he just wants more than anything to have the weight of expectations off his shoulders, and to no longer dread that his mother, his second, and all who support them will pay the deadly price of his failure. he’ll jump blindly at the chance to get this fight over with—and that’s all the opportunity bhelen ever needed
