More art for @phoenixcatch7 Possessed Doll Au Someone gets to meet Black Bat for the first time- though lets be honest Cass probably spooked someone and then went running to Batdad when they started trying to figure out how she got onto the Watchtower and if she's allowed

Condal had to whitewash Aemond's entire character, give him traits from others, and make Aegon look cartoonishly incompetent and pathetic so he could live out his childhood dreams in his self insert

imma need to keep it real with you i dont think condal even likes aemond bc what he made him do this ep was unforgiveable and unjustifiable and locals are turning on his ass. i just think he believes tearing down the greens' love and loyalty to the family (and giving that aspect to rhaenyra's) is essential to his quest of making the greens the unequivocal villains of the dance.

i mean, that love and loyalty the greens all held towards their little family was /their/ redeeming quality, whilst team black was betraying each other left and right (daemon betrays rhaenyra, rhaenyra betrays laenor, corlys betrays rhaenys, ulf and hugh betray rhaenyra, rhaenyra betrays addam and nettles, corlys betrays rhaenyra, rhaenyra betrays rosby and stokeworth and they betray her right back, lord mooton betrays her which in turn makes daemon betray her again, the people of king's landing betray rhaenyra, syrax betrays her, and the entire dragonstone garrison betrays her too).

instead of giving aemond a compelling character arc where he's driven mad and manic by guilt towards what his actions caused the family (he was the one that killed luke and so kickstarted the war and b&c after all), ryan condal made him a psychopathic cold blooded murderer that gives 0 fucks about his family. like, not even daemon tried to kill his own brother no matter how much he wanted the throne 💀

You know, I hope there's some real recognition for Mu Sheng in the coming episodes. When Miao Miao first joined the group he was rightfully scolded for bullying her, but as the group relationship improved he was still blamed and barely shown any familial affection from Mu Yao. It was understandable initially because Miao Miao was her first female friend and she got the chance to dote on her like a little sister, but her everyday interactions with Mu Sheng never got better. I think that's why it's taken me so long to warm up to Mu Yao's character, because she never seemed to stand beside Mu Sheng or support him like family. She's always taking someone else's side or not checking in with him at all.

And then! After Miao Miao attempted to draw Crescent from the stone and failed, Guo Xiu checked with Mu Yao and Fu Yi and no one bothered to even consider Mu Sheng as an option? His own sister didn't even consider him. There are so many moments like that, no wonder he's so suspicious of Miao Miao in the beginning and then falls fast and hard. She's the only one that tries with him, even if it was fake in the beginning. Idk this is kind of getting away from me but I just want Mu Sheng to be recognized by people around him. I want him to recieve the same effort he puts in to taking care of the ones close to him.

-----

Update as of ep 24: Mu Yao is the best. Her defense of her brother and her apology/conversation with him is *everything* I wanted from her and more. I'm so happy to see her soften up as the show progresses, and act less like the aloof head of the family and more like a sister and friend who can rely on her loved ones. ♡

I need advice.

I’m a white intern working in a mostly white southern(ish) high school. Students of Color number at under 2%, perhaps even lower. It’s a very white, rural community - I grew up in a fairly mixed, suburban northern community, and part of my family is Black.

Several of my white students say rude things to my Students of Color. I’ve told them to knock it off *as appropriately as I can* but I’m probably one of the few adults that actively discourage that behavior.

I don’t want to let this shit fly under the radar, but I also know that if an adult of authority *who will only be here for a couple more weeks* interferes, and then doesn’t stick around, it could make things worse. Additionally, I know these kids are probably very very very used to this ‘system’ and that making a short-term change could be more harmful than helpful.

I asked one of my senior students after a very racist incident *where she was laughing along with the perpetrator but I told him to stop anyway* that I can move him, or her, so she could be more comfortable (admin either does nothing or slaps wrists, especially for seniors). She said it was fine and that he was always like that.

I must emphasize, I think they were bantering (they talk so much I think they consider each other friends?), but it was also wayyy fucking out of line, especially in a school setting. And the guy says so much out of line shit I’m surprised he isn’t rocking a full set of dentures to replace the teeth he ought to have lost by now.

Another student took me up on my offer to move people, but I ended up moving him, which sucks because he was the victim in this situation. Unfortunately, I have to keep his aggressors in their spots, as they are highly rowdy in all the ways and require a lot more supervision than he did. And the class is really full. These were also all freshmen, so I wouldn’t be surprised if that affected the victim’s reaction.

So I’d really appreciate advice as to whether I should let it be, or continue as is, or step it up even more, from People of Color in largely white, especially rural, communities. Like any advice from current or previous educators, especially Educators of Color would be appreciated, but specifically southern/rural ones would be wonderful. I’m going to talk to my family members about it, but they’ve lived in more Northern settings their entire lives and they may have less … applicable (?) experience to the situation.

Again, I’m an intern, I’m going to only be there until winter break 2024, and I don’t want to fuck things up for these kids in the long run with my northern ally ‘sensibilities’. Thank you!

Personal ramblings because I am MAD.

I can’t have children. Back in 2016, my husband and I suffered a miscarriage that nearly took my life. I’m one of the women you’ve probably read about here of late where missed miscarriages are concerned. I nearly died and had to have an emergency D&E thanks to a blood clot the size of a cantaloupe taking shape in my uterus. Yes, you read that correctly. A cantaloupe. The nurses and my surgeon were shocked. I feel incredibly lucky however because it happened during a time where I didn’t have to worry about receiving the surgery or not. And the staff who took care of me were incredibly kind.

I live in Texas. This election has hit me very deeply.

Moving forward, I have good friends with children and I’ve been able to be a part of their lives. Two of which are in their younger years, and another is a teenager. It makes my heart unfathomably happy to get to be around them, to hear their laughter, listen to their stories I can barely understand because they’re 4 and 5 years old 😂🥰, and help the teenager just by being someone they can speak with freely.

They’re our found family. We’re all having Christmas and Thanksgiving together since none of us have close ties to our family. We’re all either LGBTQIA+, POC, or we’ve cut our family out due to abuse.

My found family means everything to me. We’ve all been there for one another. And we also all play D&D together, cook together, I help meal prep, we give each other rides when we need them, we’ve helped one another with home supplies, gas money when we have it, etc.

I’m so fucking terrified for my family. One of them is a female veteran who was sexually abused in the military. Another is a Hispanic male in the health care industry working in behavioral therapy for abused children. Our son, as we all call him, only turned 21 this year, a black man who I’d die to protect without hesitation. He’s our fucking baby boy and I’m so angry, hurt, upset, and scared for him. He’s the first person I thought of when all this shit started, especially with the text messages which were sent out. Fortunately he didn’t get one.

These are people and they’re real. They’re not the enemy.

They’re my family.

This is why we’re cutting people who voted for Trump out of our lives. If you voted for Trump, you voted to harm my family. I may just be one person, yes. But know that I hate you. I hate you. I fucking hate you.

And I’m not alone.

We all hope you live the lives you deserve, pigs. And when you realize what you’ve done, when you need an abortion, when your child is trans, when you fall in love with a POC and learn the terror they live in on the daily basis, know this:

You voted for Donald Trump. You did this to yourself. And you may find compassion from others.

You will receive none from me.

Narcissa sat across the table, Sirius grinned at her from the other side, his fork absentmindedly twirling and scraping at his plate.

"Can you stop that?" Narcissa gritted her teeth as a loud scrape sounded from the silver pressing against the china.

Sirius tilted his head, grin still on place.

"Your mother tells me you're interested in herbology at the moment?" Walburga hums, eyes focused on Narcissa.

Narcissa nods, "Oh yes. Well the malfoy estate has such large gardens, as you of course know, and so I hope to augment my skills in order to take full control of the garden when I have married Lucius. It will be our guest's first impression of us and our house, so arguably the most important part of the manor."

"Do you grow weed?" Sirius asked.

"Of course not!" Walburga hissed, before turning back to Narcissa, "You are a delightfully wise girl."

"Frank Longbottom is into herbology too."

Walburga glanced to him, "Well, we don't associate with that family, Sirius."

Sirius gasped, staring at Narcissa, "Do we not, Cissy?"

Narcissa smiled politey, "Of course not."

"Well, do we associate with his girlfriend then, Alice?"

Narcissa narrowed her eyes just slightly, "No, we do not."

Walburga glanced between Narcissa and Sirius, "Who is Alice?"

Sirius turned to his mother, "Fortescue. She's a gryffindor in Narcissa's year."

Orion coughed, "Have you had your exam results back, Narcissa?"

"Not yet, but I have high hopes. My mock results predicted all 'O's."

Orion smiled, "Good. I'm sure your parents will be proud."

Sirius leaned back in his chair with a sigh and muttered, "Probably wouldn't be proud with you spending your time behind the greenhouses with certain gryffindor's."

Narcissa folded her arms neatly, "Is that something you do, Sirius?"

Walburga huffed, "If only he could be more like you, my dear."

Orion nodded, "We see much too much of your elder sisters in him, I'm afraid. Regulus, on the other hand-"

Sirius scoffed, glancing to Regulus who had gone non-verbal again, luckily their parent’s hadn't quite realised yet.

Orion glared at Sirius, "Don't interrupt me", he turned back to Narcissa and shook his head, "Always so rebellious at the moment."

Narcissa smiled back, "Oh, Bella was the same, always so hotheaded and impulsive. But she knows to put family above all else, and I'm certain Sirius will grow up and do the same."

Sirius turned to her, noticing her small gesture to Regulus sat by her side- still remaining silent and moving his food into categories instead of eating it.

Sirius immediately stood up, "James is my family."

Regulus glanced to him- anger evident in his face.

Walburga stood up too, "The Potter's are not welcome here- even in name. Blood traitors, the lot of them."

Sirius grabbed his cup and threw it across the room, "I hate you! I hate this house! I hate this family!"

Orion wiped the corners of his mouth with his napkin before turning to Regulus and Narcissa, "Regulus, would you please show your cousin to her room? I think we shall be retiring for the evening."

Narcissa stood up instantly, guiding Regulus with her and out the room.

"Worthless! Thankless! Scum of my blood!" Walburga had started to scream at Sirius as the door shut behind them.

Narcissa never liked Sirius. He was always so loud, defiant, stubborn. But as she glanced over to her small cousin- Regulus, she couldn't help but admire Sirius protecting his brother from trouble at his own expense. He was loyal to his family- just not in the way they wanted.
