I can't stop thinking about the Houses in Detective Beebo. This always happens to me, latching onto the main characters? Nah uh. Go to House world instead. I'm stuck in "Haunted House" island, got taken by the waves I can never get out anymore.

The Houses are just sooo good. For me. The formation of the "heart" specially. I keep thinking bout it. For the art gallery, the heart is the map, for the House of Vera it had two hearts until gaining a new one during endings 9 and 10. The first heart it had before being called the House of Vera was a shield, and then it became a grandfather clock.

There's a theme here and the question of "how did the hearts form?" In one of the notes during investigation treasure hunt of House of Vera's history, Dr. Roberto Diaz gave the house a new "purpose" after destroying the shield from grieving his wife's death. He got "fused" with the house, he couldn't tell his feet apart from the floor, he can feel his heartbeat echo in the corridors, the water leak matched with his tears. He became one with the house all while the house gained a new purpose and power, to give him one more chance despite the person he so desperately wanted to live again remained dead. The house gained the power to reset time within the house every 8 pm whenever someone dies, which allowed the doctor to save every patient inside.

Obviously, a House becomes Haunted when given a purpose, much like what the doctor did. But what about the heart? The doctor became one with the house, so during that moment the grandfather clock hasn't been desginated as the "heart" of it yet, since during that moment, the heart is Dr. Diaz himself, he feels everything that happens in the house, like an extension of his body. He hears his own heartbeat in the corridors, the house is his body just as how his body belongs to the house.

But when Dr. Diaz died after visiting his daughter, having succumbed to an illness that should've taken his life years ago, the House still has its purpose, it still needs to live on despite the doctor's death. So maybe, it chose its own heart.

The theme is that each heart is connected to a House's purpose. The art gallery's heart was a map, the purpose given to that house by a struggling artist was meant to be innocent enough, the artist wanted people to look at all their art and never leave. Unfortunately the House took that a bit literally, by making it an endless labyrinth with no exit. The purpose is to have every visitor "see all the art" and what better tool to navigate through the entirety of a gallery to see all the art within it but a map!

I wonder if the artist felt the same way that Dr. Diaz did, being fused with the house, feeling everything happening inside it. Did the artist themself get trapped within their own house? Did they get overwhelmed from the new sensations brought upon being fused with a building meant for multiple people to go in and out of for hours on end? Were they the only one the house allowed to come and go easily? Did they see what became of the people that went inside the art gallery and never came out? Were they filled with guilt upon seeing it?

One thing's for certain is that the art gallery has been abandoned for years, with only a map to serve as its heart. The House of Vera, before being known as that, had a different heart and purpose. Before Dr. Diaz became the owner of it, the house was known to have survived any and all tragedies that came its way, even the earthquakes that happened in the past didn't destroy it. That was because of its first purpose before Dr. Diaz unknowingly changed it, the House's purpose was to be an indestructible shield. Perhaps it was due to the colonial era and the owners needing a strong shelter in such a stressful time, the House was given the purpose to protect everyone inside it.

So its first heart, was a shield, to mirror that purpose. But because Dr. Diaz destroyed that shield, the House lost its purpose Momentarily until it immediately latched onto a new purpose presented by Dr. Diaz himself. The House, whose purpose has always been to protect, in a poetic sense, was given One More Chance to protect others much like how Dr. Diaz was given a chance to save all his patients so long as they're within the House.

And so comes ending 9 and 10. The two endings in which the House's heart gets destroyed yet is given a purpose once more. The new heart, for as long as he lives, is Detective Oliver Beebo. He's incredibly sensitive to the world around him, so the new sensations that came from having fused with the House was Far Too Overwhelming. It's unsure how the other living hearts reacted to that, but from the notes written by Dr. Diaz, he seemed to have gotten used to it enough to keep going as usual.

The new purpose that Oliver gave the house was simple: To keep Ángel alive. And so, for as long as Oliver lives and the House stays, Ángel lives as well. In a sense, immortality is shared between the three of them. The House remains undisturbed, Oliver and Ángel lives. From the three examples with the object hearts that the House's had, it seems that even if Oliver dies, the House will merely look for an object connected to its purpose to serve as its heart, which would allow Ángel to continue living. But I doubt he would want that.

What happens to a House that failed to fulfill its purpose then? What would become to a House whose purpose isn't tied to it, but tied to a person? What would happen to the House of Vera, with its newest purpose, should Ángel die? Will it continue living so long as its heart is beating? Will it look for another person to latch onto as its new purpose? Or will it die for having failed to fulfill the purpose of its existence? The House of Vera has been shown to be a house that craves to protect others, from the shield, to the grandfather clock, and now to Oliver's desire for Ángel to live. What would happen to it then should it fail to protect even a single person?

NETTLES AND RHAENYRA, CHARACTER FOILS.

Because I'm not an English teacher

So the question is, How is Nettles Rhaenyra's foil?

1. Appearance .

Rhaenyra is a pretty standard Valyrian beauty. Silver locks, purple eyes, quite pretty, later on in life we get the change that she didn't lose the wait after giving birth to her kids and becùase of misogyny, her beauty has faded. Features like her long hair worn in the style of Visenya and so on are also mentioned. It's giving the Realm's delight in a real sense (not the weird sense).

Nettles, on the other hand, is juxtaposed as 'ugly'. She's brown, is skinny, has crooked teeth, a nose scar, and has short hair.

The maesters like to play to damn much, basically. But they are described as almost exact opposites. Short and long hair, skinny and fat, white and brown skin, purple and brown eyes, etc.

The narrative purpose is to ultimately show their different upbringing and places in this society.

2. Status

Rhaenyra is shown to be the princess, heir to the throne and queen throughout the book. No matter what happens with her, the security and privilege she has almost always goes over what other women have. Her only real threat is the men (and book Alicent) who have personal stake in her not ascending her throne. She's also entirely spoilt as princess and heir by her father and more so her uncle.

Nettles, on the other hand, is introduced to us as an orphan from Driftmark. We're told she could've been a thief and a sex worker by the time we met her. She has no name, lands, titles, or family that we are presented with in the narrative and her backstory for better or less is a patchwork of what her life was possibly like on Driftmark.

Unlike Rhaenyra, we don't follow every salacious rumour and really don't know much about her past.

3. Dragons

Rhaenyra’s dragon Syrax was a cradle egg hatched to her, a Targaryen custom. She's also the youngest dragonrider at 7 I believe.

Nettles claims her dragon at no older than 16 years old. He is a wild dragon (a distinction given to hatched Targaryen dragons that haven't been riden and live away from the keep) and slaughters many before she claims him.

4. Virtue

The notion of virtue in asoiaf is extremely complex, especially with these two women and the vastly different backgrounds. But virginity and speculation also develops both their characterizations in the narrative.

Rhaenyra allegedly "sleeps" with Daemon to practise what she wants to do with Criston (she's 15-). In the show, it becomes obvious that she almost sleeps with Daemon and officially sleeps with Criston. Either way, promiscuity and naivety are written into her character. The only point of conflict is who is involved with what happened in these instances less than what happened. Later on her promiscuity is brought up when Ser Harwin Strong is said to be the father of her first three children.

On the other hand, Nettles' sexual promiscuity is given to her in the narrative. The claims of her being a whore or sleeping around with shepherds are claims made by men who don't know what she was doing at that time. Men who made similar claims about Rhaenyra and their involvement in her loss of virtue as well. Where these stories differ is in Maidenpool, where the assumption of promiscuity is given a different voice.

This time, maids are alluding to an inappropriately close relationship between Daemon and Nettles (yet again, he finds himself here).

5. Daemon

Speak of the devil, and he will appear.

His dynamic is important to these women and their place in the narrative. Saving one dooms the other, leaving with one isolated the other. His decisions ultimately affect one while benefiting the other.

The cruellest example of this dynamic is him letting Nettles go after being the reason she is trapped in the narrative and ultimately dooming Rhaenyra by choosing to kill Aemond instead of going back to her.

His dynamic with both was also comparable with gift giving and quality time and even inappropriate relationship he developed with both of them, notably around similar ages. ( Both these relationships have significant power imbalances).

Between them both, his affection to one affects the other detrimentally.

6. Jace

Specifically in reference to his death, it's notable that within the narrative, while Nettles is described as crying by herself in response to his death, Rhaenyra is hardened by it.

Also, as symbols for legitimacy and legacy, Jace is the reason Nettles is recognised as a dragonseed, and Rhaenyra's line is secured as her first born, but in his absence, Nettles is delegitimised and said to be not a dragonseed. Around that time, Rhaenyra is beginning to be questioned by all the men around her as well, whereas before, Jace was a notable voice in decisions.

7. Dragons in the End.

They both meet their 'end' in the narrative with Dragons. Rhaenyra is killed by her brother's dragon Sunfyre burns and eats her, killing her in front of her son.

Nettles, however, escapes the narrative on dragonback, with the stories that follow explicitly explaining how dragon fire protects her and leads her to become a deity for the burned men.

8. Children

In the narrative, Nettles has no children. Children would explicitly be a burden in her described circumstances as a mouth to feed and someone else to care for. Effectively, children would trap Nettles in a cycle of poverty and inability to experience ethe freedom presented in the narrative.

Rhaenyra is expected to have children to secure her legacy and reign. Children, especially sons, would be her greatest benefit to ensure her ascension to the throne. They are her biggest strategy and losses throughout the war because of that reason.

This dynamic carries out to a head with the death decree for Nettles. The possibility that she would have a child by Daemon is a definitive reason that her 'treason' calls for her head. A child would give her a claimant but also be proof of infidelity by Daemon. It would be a slight to Rhaenyra’s pride and grief as she at this point has lost 4 children during the war.

9. Loyalty of men

This is one of the most interesting for me because the disloyalty of men for Rhaenyra meant the loyalty of men to Nettles. When the Mootons decide not to kill her, they are traitors to Rhaenyra. When Daemon lets her leave, he's a traitor to Rhaenyra. When Corlys stands up for both her and Addam, he's treated like a traitor. Furthermore, the Mootons turn to Aegon’s side directly after because they did not obey her for two reasons, Nettles being accused and sentenced without trial, and Rhaenyra wanting them to break guest right.

Within the narrative, at that point, loyalty to Rhaenyra was a sentence on Nettles' life, and loyalty to Nettles was treason to Rhaenyra.

Conclusion.

In other ways, like the impact of their legacy, the symbols of their identity (dragons), other ways that their narratives with Daemon (the stories) play out and so on juxtapose these women against each other in the narrative. Age and innocence in both a meta and narrative sense also play into Nettles being a foil for Rhaenyra’s character. Personally I think the reason ts written that way is for Nettles to cause a Stark difference in behaviour with men like Daemon and the Mootons as well as to show the contrast of what is expected and what is to be done and what actually happens.

Hope this helps 🩷🤎

Yall know whats crazy? I grew up in an actual haunted house lmao. Most of my friends wont even come over to my moms house now a days. My roommate hates it there

The phone is literally not plugged in to anything (it’s an older style that isnt wireless) and it will ring. And I mean it’s not plugged into the phone line or power.

Old clock chimes. Never mind that the chimes r just sitting in it not strung up.

Locked out? But that door is a deadbolt?

Ah yes the person who is standing in the kitchen looking out the window. Never mind that the sink and counter are in the way. (Got a photo of this one but the ghost only remained in it for a year before it disappeared)

Foot steps behind u in the hall? Don’t use the end bathroom then cause u will have no privacy. One of my friends had the door open then close while he was in there smh.

Random shadow hand covering up tour phone screen? Time to leave.

Don’t bring keyboards in this house if you aren’t ready to see them type. Don’t being computers if you don’t like the blue screen.

Do not sleep here unless you are ready to sleep like a coma so the ghost can’t wake you up at 2am.

Do not be here unless you are ready to be watched and never alone ( menacingly)

[thedeadthree]

nothing says romance like “ur tacky and i hate u” “she totally digs me” and i am going to have a secret fling with him to get him out of my system and it lasts for YEARSS and to gift him a necklace with a ring made of gold plated v*alyrian steel which for ur house to gift those to someone is a HUGE deal as ur mothers house is the last of those with the knowledge to craft with v*alyrian steel and that they are pieces of the person as they are crafted by them and a piece of their blood is put into those and that would mean that everywhere he goes a piece of u goes with him 🥀🤪 OH YEA and u terrorized him for funsies (affectionately) by creating a wall of fire and chased him down with ur dragon alongside ur niece as he bolted into a forest *twirling hair*💀 ROMANCE!!!!!!

[yikes-ajax]

Thinking about how deranged this thanksgiving was.

I hit a kid with my cane. I popped so many painkillers. I hit a kid with my cane again. I went black Friday shopping and came back only with things that weren't on sale. I hit that kid with my cane so hard in the shin he's gonna need a cane, too. I had a religious crisis. I threw my cane at that kid in the passenger seat because he said I don't need handicap parking. Some dude dressed in a really nice santa costume was just standing at the end of his driveway waving at cars and I barked violently at him. I fucking punched that kid. I spent more money on a dog than my family. I still bought that kid ice cream because I hate him but I hate the company I took the money from more. At some point I just fell asleep under the dinner table. I played Minecraft with that kid and he's a fucking loser. I had a whole therapy session in the car trauma dumping for the two hour drive home. I'm going to ruin that kids life I'm just too tired right now. It's been days and I still feel hungover. I didn't even drink.

Needless to say I think the spirit of doctor House possessed me for thanksgiving. Either way 10/10 would do again and Christmas is either gonna put me in jail or back on Lexapro
