𝐎𝐍 𝐃𝐑𝐀𝐆𝐎𝐍 𝐃𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐌𝐒

Was Rhaegar a dreamer? Before House of the Dragon aired, I did not have him as a dragon dreamer, but once the show gave us new info (such as the Conqueror being a dreamer), I figured a change was in order. Recently, we’ve gotten more info that has helped me better shape that headcanon, so I will elaborate on that in this post. As always, the disclaimer: all things I post here are for RP purposes. In no way am I saying this is book canon or that others should consider it so, or that I am expecting others to accept it. 

We were recently given, in show, the little detail of how Daenys the Dreamer got her prophetic Doom of Valyria dream the night after she claimed a young Balerion. Then in season one, we learn that Aegon I Targaryen, also rider of Balerion, had a prophetic dream about the Long Night (which prompted him into conquest). Then we also learn that Viserys I Targaryen, the last rider of Balerion, had that single one-time prophetic dream, and he only rode on Balerion once. We know that the dreamers aspects (and very likely the Daenys claiming Balerion and then dreaming bit) come from GRRM, so what is he trying to tell us viewers/readers?

Let’s check what we do have in books about dreams, starting with the wolf dreams the Stark children experience. They all seem to first receive these dreams when/after they get their direwolves. Direwolves are magical creatures, such as dragons are. Magic in the ASOIAF world appears to be connected, like a worldwide magical network that weakens and gets stronger. Something magical in one place can affect it everywhere (the birth of dragons after a century, for example, had ‘shockwave’ sort of events around the world). There are even certain places that Melissandre alludes to as magical ‘hinges’ of the world, with The Wall being one of them. Magic, in a sense, is almost a consciousness in that worldwide magical web; we can even consider the weirwoods as an ‘access panel’ to it for greenseers to be able to tap into. 

Using another Stark example of that magic having a ‘consciousness’ that connects all magical creatures/places, we have a passage on Jon and Ghost in books. Jon describes ‘It was Ghost who knew what to do’, with Ghost being there when he wakes from his recurrent Winterfell crypts dream. He starts getting this dream when reaching The Wall. The magic, through his bond to a magical creature, is trying to tell him a ‘truth’ about who he really is, and shows him the crypts because likely the truth is found there—Be it figuratively or literally. This is likely because the truth of his identity (half Stark, half Targaryen) will play a big role in the Long Night. This, in itself, is a headcanon, but since it’s a pretty widespread one, I am using it as an example to better explain my reasoning. 

We know that dragonlord families practiced interbreeding to keep the bloodline pure, because their blood is what enables them to bond and ride dragons. Some of them experience dragon dreams. So I do think it’s safe to say ( for the sake of the Ice/Fire parallel themes of ASOIAF ) only the Starks or those of First Men blood are able to bond with direwolves, and like them, the Stark children experience wolf dreams. And so it’s why they receive these kinds of dreams, because their magical bond to those magical creatures bestows the dreams upon them. Of course, we have characters in books and show that have had other prophetic dreams through other means, be it greensight or coming into contact with hinges or magical things (such as weirwoods), or even simply practicing magic ( like the Red Priests, the maegi, and so forth). 

And we come again to how characters like them have pointed out a resurgence of magic that makes them ‘stronger’ (after Dany’s dragons hatch). Which again alludes to the theory of magic being a worldwide web kind of thing, interconnected, with certain places, items (like glass candles, horns), elements (fire, ice, blood, etc.) and creatures serving as conduits to it. Going also by the theory of Valyrians and First Men blood being able to bond with the creatures, it would also make sense if they are more innately ‘sensitive’ to certain hinges or conduits or concentrations of magic, such as The Wall and the weirwoods; even without being ‘trained’ (as Red Priests or maegi are). We also know that ‘king’s blood’ plays a role. 

Now, after exposing all this, I do believe GRRM might be further supplementing these clues through the show bits. And I do think the message is that: dragons give the dragon dreams. Of course, we know dragons eventually go extinct but Targaryens (or those with Targaryen/Valyrian blood) continue to have dragon dreams—But the dragon eggs remain. The tradition of placing dragon eggs in the cradles of Targaryen babies continued. We know of a few of those people who had an egg or were possibly in proximity to eggs, to have been given dragon dreams. Among those dreams were the ones pertaining to the return of the dragons, and this drove a few (if not all) the dreamers into trying to fulfill what they saw. 

Dragons seem to definitely be an important part in the Long Night prophecy, so what if this obsession is also magically spurred, in a way? Even in Fire and Blood, we are told dragons seem to have an intelligence that men can’t understand—Can it be that, like direwolves, they are conduits connected to the worldwide magical network? The same that is stirring with the impending coming of the Long Night? Even Quaithe tells Dany that the dragons ‘remember’, and implies that perhaps they are trying to make Dany ‘remember’ who she is—In the same way Ghost is trying to make Jon learn the truth of who he is and is pointing to where he might find out. Because it’s all an important part of the prophecy, the Long Night, and whatever roles big or small they might have in it. 

After all this, let’s finally go back to Rhaegar and the actual reason why I wrote it. I am 99.9% certain Rhaegar has dragon dreams (always leave that .1% because this is GRRM, wouldn’t past him to just change stuff or add something that changes everything as he has done before). I used to be like a 50-50 before House of the Dragon (applied it only to AUs), and then maybe an 85%, but after the Daenys and Balerion info, I am very certain now. We are even directly given in books where and when he had those dreams: Summerhall. 

In a previous headcanon post regarding his birth, I did include the dreams as a possibility of why he was going to Summerhall but now it has been elevated into a certainty. We know Rhaegar was born during the tragedy at Summerhall, where a great fire killed half the Targaryen family. We’re not given the ‘what exactly happened’, and this is probably on purpose because it might be revealed in some big way or something later on ( because if the theory of what happened is true, then dark stuff went on there ). But we do have the bits of that half message, how there were seven eggs, the blood of the dragon was gathered and pyromancers with wildfire, before the fire went out of control, a ‘treason’ happened and Dunk saved someone ( Rhaella and -unborn or not- baby Rhaegar ). 

Here we have all the elements for the same egg hatching ritual Dany’s dreams told her to do: eggs, fire and blood sacrifice. Who was going to be the sacrifice? Unborn baby Rhaegar. Just as unborn Rhaego (oh yes, the name similarity is more than just ‘to honor her brother’ on purpose and very GRRM) was the sacrifice that gave life to the dragons in the eggs. But what matters for the purposes of the headcanon is; the eggs. We are not told what happened to those eggs so I do believe it’s not far reaching to say at least one of the eggs is still there. 

So what would happen if a Targaryen prince, already marked by the magical yet tragic circumstances of his birth, visits said ‘haunted’ place with only his harp, and comes in proximity to the egg while he sleeps under the stars? 

“Whenever he came back he would bring a song. When you heard him play his high harp with the silver strings and sing of twilights and tears and the death of kings, you could not but feel that he was singing of himself and those he loved.” --Daenerys IV, A Storm of Swords

His songs were tragic things (like prophecy?), and it felt like he was singing about himself and those he loved because of the emotional intensity in them. And that’s because he probably was, in a way. He did think himself the Prince that was Promised at some point until Aegon’s conception, after all. He was a musical individual and it would make perfect sense for him to ‘record’ or translate his dreams into song—Much like how we get in the show Helaena’s drawings on the walls and sketchbooks. For Helaena, we are told it was a way of escapism, so I can easily see the same being for Rhaegar (who already shows escapist tendencies). And speaking of dreamers and similarities, I do think there are bits throughout books that connect possible dreamers in personality terms. But I won’t get into that here. 

However, we know that Rhaegar read of the prophecy in some scroll or book, and that is what prompted him to ‘become a warrior’. I have already explained this bit in the birth post for him as well, but I think him being a dreamer only adds to it. We know he ‘grew up with a complex fascination for the ruins’. So what if when he first visited Summerhall, he was still a young teenager yet to read about the prophecy? What if when he first visited, he had a certain dream that had him want to learn more about what exactly happened in the place he was born? And what if when he learned of it, his dreams, his birth, his very existence, has a whole other meaning that he embraces through the prophecy? This, I believe, all fits with traits that previous dragon dreamers had displayed, subtly or not. And when paired with the show bits we are given about dragon dreamers being apparently bestowed the dreams by dragons (or eggs, as book might suggest), then it rounds up nicely, in my RP opinion.

Again, this is all headcanon for the purpose of RP as I portray Rhaegar, but thanks to the show’s supplemental info paired with the book equivalents; there’s too much coincidence to just think it’s nothing more than that. Of course, if/when we are given more info from GRRM himself or when/if Winds of Winter comes out, I will adjust as needed to fit canon as much as possible. For now, it’s fun to weave these threads we have been given together into a bigger tapestry through the magic of RP. And as always, if you read all this, thank you!

Do you have Dany and Rhaegar's art? :)

i haven't drawn rhaegar before this, but here he is now!! i really enjoy imagining him looking like a castlevania vampire so that's the energy i tried to channel here. can't really tell in this picture but i also love the idea of him with floor length hair. impractical, but it makes a statement!

and ive drawn dany before but i'd be happy to draw her again, this time with long hair! her dress was originally going to be a pale lilac but it blended with her hair too much so now it's a dark purple

The Mad Maid

[anew-flame]

Just wanted to post my Trespasser epilogue for my Inquisitor, Rhaella Trevelyan. This was my very first playthrough of any Dragon Age game, and I’m happy with my choices! Might do a second playthrough with everything exactly the same because I’m not ready to say goodbye 🥺

Under a cut to preserve your dashes plus hide spoilers:

In short, the Inquisition was disbanded. Some were relieved to see the unpredictable organization dismantled. Others prepared to remember the Inquisition’s good works and the many lives it saved. Those who had served returned to their former lives, knowing they had stopped a great evil from destroying the world…and hoping that the peace for which they had fought remained, once the Inquisition was gone.

With the Dragon’s Breath disrupted and any hope of a swift victory dashed, the Qunari retreated back to the North. Few knew what debates were waged in Par Vollen, but not long after the Exalted Council, the Qunari launched new attacks against Tevinter. Their aggression caught the already unstable Imperium off guard. Tevinter was soon mired in a war many feared could spread across Thedas.

The Exalted Council remained intact, advising Divine Victoria on important matters. Cassandra served for several years. While she often disagreed with Leliana’s policies, the former Right and Left Hands of the Divine shared a mutual respect and worked well together.

Cassandra also spent time in the Hunterhorn Mountains north of Orlais, where she worked to rebuild the Seekers. For a time, the new Seekers remained reclusive, showing no interest in worldly affairs and working to a purpose few outside their order could guess.

The end of the Inquisition as it had been sent shock waves through the College of Enchanters. Madam de Fer ably played on the mages’ fears. New followers united to build a new circle — with Vivienne as its Grand Enchanter — in direct competition with the College. What the Circle lacked in numbers, they made up for in political connection; soon they were a force to be reckoned with. The two institutions settled into an uneasy coexistence across the South, vying for power.

After the Exalted Council, Leliana devoted herself fully to the Sunburst Throne and her dream of reshaping the Chantry. Within a year, she removed restrictions surrounding Chantry priesthood, allowing men and women of all races to be initiated and ordained. The decree was followed swiftly be her decision to return the Canticle of Shartan to the canonical Chant, a move that divided Andrastians deeply. A rebellion to renounce her and return the Chantry to its former state arose, beginning first in Orlais, then spreading to other parts of Thedas. Divine Victoria was resolute, holding her ground even after several unsuccessful attempts on her life. Seemingly unconcerned with the assassination attempts, she held up the hostility leveled against her as proof that she was on the right path.

With the Inquisition disbanded, Sera joined the Inquisitor in officially retiring from scaring people in high places. By formal account and agreement, both would lead boring, safe lives nowhere special doing not much at all. And with that comforting lie, those in power continued their fragile lives as though all was back to normal. Meanwhile, Red Jenny, an entirely separate person not at all collectively embodied by Sera, the inquisitor, and countless friends continued to make a difference, or just have fun, where and when the impulse struck.

With frequent visits to her Widdle, of course.

Perhaps most unnerving was Sera’s standing offer to the Divine: “When the nobs piss about with your Left Hand or Right, call on Red Jenny to give them two fingers.”

Varric took up the role of Viscount and, with the help of his friend Hawke, rebuilt Kirkwall’s damaged infrastructure. Under his rule, the city-state finally resumed its place as the major trade hub of the Free Marches. He continued to ignore all mail from both the Merchants Guild and the Prince of Starkhaven.

With the inquisition disbanded, the Bull’s chargers returned to taking jobs throughout Orlais and Ferelden. Fighting demons and clearing out the remains of Venatori forces, the Iron Bull did his part to restore order to Thedas.

Many of the jobs brought the Chargers close to the Imperium’s border, where, from time to time, in a border-town villa… Bull and a certain Tevinter magister would spend a few hours together before life pulled them apart again.

After the Inquisition disbanded, Cullen and the Inquisitor retired to private life together. Unburdened by the restrictions of their offices, they continued doing good works on their own terms. That is, after a long-overdue visit to Cullen’s siblings, who were overjoyed to meet their new sister-in-law.

Dorian returned to Tevinter to take his father’s place in the Magisterium. As rumors flew about the Imperium’s infighting, Dorian was spoken of often as a voice of resistance against corruption. Along with Magister Maevaris Tilani, he formed a group called the Lucerni to restore and redeem Tevinter — a fight many thought hopeless.

Those fighting by Magister Pavus’s side noted that he kept in constant contact with the Inquisitor via message crystal. Whether for vital information or for moral support, these talks seemed to give Dorian the strength to continue his fight.

On one occasion, Venatori forces ambushed Dorian, who likely would have died had not an unnamed mercenary band led by a Tal-Vashoth warrior crossed Tevinter’s border and mounted a dangerous rescue operation. The mercenaries left a trail of freed slaves and dead Venatori in their wake, enabling Dorian to escape. When asked about the Tal-Vashoth in question, Magister Pavus declined to comment.

Them Rainier was shown mercy when none was deserved, and set on a path of redemption. This gift, so compassionately given, needed to be shared. Freed from his obligations to the Inquisition, Rainier traveled Thedas, giving hope to the condemned and the forgotten.

In the deepest prisons and pits of Thedas, he found, if not goodness itself, its potential. By showing faith in those who had none, Rainier lifted them up and made them into something better than they were.

With the Inquisition disbanded, Josephine made her farewells and returned to Antiva and her family. She was soon approached by an agent from the House of Repose, whose assassins had been killed by Inquisition agents on Josephine’s behalf. Far from being offended, the House of Repose was inquiring as to whether Josephine might have need of their services. She quickly persuaded them she had no need for assassins, but instead hired them as guards for the Montilyets’ new trading vessels. Rivaini pirates looking to rekindle an ancient feud soon learned that the Montilyets’ ships were not lightly boarded, and her house prospered greatly.

Cole returned to the Fade, saying that there was more pain coming, and that he knew where Compassion would be most needed. He promised that his friends in the Inquisition would remember him… and that where the hurt was greatest, he would help.

After the events at the Winter Palace, elves left the Inquisition under mysterious circumstances, as did elven servants across Thedas. None could say where they went, but those who believed the Inquisitor’s story about Fen’Harel wondered just how large the Dread Wolf’s forces were... and what the ancient elven rebel had planned.

nsfw hc but

rhaenyra (and alicent for that matter) would 100% say “kneel before your queen” before having reader eat her out on her throne and you can’t convince me otherwise

Rhae would so do this after you got involved in another tavern brawl or something.

You’d come back bloody and bruised. Cut above your eyebrow that she cleaned herself. Maester Mellos all but ignored.

“I told you those places aren’t for the likes of us” she would say.

“The likes of you, you mean”

You were a knight. Risen the ranks from a lowly house. She was a Targaryen. A queen. You belonged down in Flea Bottom.

She’d argued with you in the past about how it was now that mattered. Not then. You wouldn’t listen.

“Get on your knees then” she instructed. Cut cleaned. Tunic hanging off you shoulders. “If you belong with them, kneel for your queen”

Who were you to disobey her? A lowborn servant of the crown. The queen with her legs spread before you, ready to be devoured.

-

Alicent would clear the Throne Room. A heated squabble between family causing her to become irate.

You were about to leave with the rest of the hoard before you were stopped. Her voice filling the room. Turning slowly, you found her slumped in the throne in defeat.

Her sons were thinning her patience. Her husband on his deathbed. The Princess plotting against her. The only person left she trusted was you.

“You know what to do”. The phrase echoed off the walls.

Of course you did. But never had it happened in here. The thought of it making goosebumps prickle under your amour.

You smiled when she told you to “kneel for your queen”.

You licked your lips when she lifted her skirts.

Criston Cole NSFW Alphabet

Summary: yes he’s arrogant, but Fabien frankel tho… can’t help myself

Notes: ik ik i can't stfu about my new fanfic but like... it's really good, okay? go read hand turns loom y'all

Taglist: @a-beaverhousen @majesticwren @obsessiveformiyatwins

Masterlist | requests are OPEN!

A = Aftercare (what they’re like after sex)

Aftercare what aftercare? Leaves as soon as he’s done. Cannot compromise on his honor

B = Body part (their favorite body part of theirs and also their partner’s)

Favorite body part of himself has to be his back. For the love of the Gods, please scratch it. He wants to be distracted so bad smh, but also, he’s got a really nice back.

About you, his favorite body part is your hair. I hc that he had a little sister that he took care of, so he likes to braid/unbraid your hair. Plus, his hands were on Rhae’s hair when they did the deed, so that only confirms my suspicions.

C = Cum (anything to do with cum, basically)

Should not enjoy cumming in you as much as he does… still does it.

D = Dirty secret (pretty self explanatory, a dirty secret of theirs)

Would absolutely fuck you in the White Sword Tower (that’s where the Kingsguard live) if there was no risk.

E = Experience (how experienced are they? do they know what they’re doing?)

He’s Dornish ffs.

F = Favorite position (this goes without saying)

Doggy style. He gets to yank on your hair + doesn’t have to face what he’s doing as this position is a little more detached.

G = Goofy (are they more serious in the moment? are they humorous? etc.)

Very, very serious. There’s a bunch of shame attached to sex for him, so jokes are not in it.

H = Hair (how well groomed are they? does the carpet match the drapes? etc.)

Carpet matches the drapes, but he ‘doesn’t have time to groom’. Don’t try it

I = Intimacy (how are they during the moment? the romantic aspect)

Not very romantic. If you end up running away with him however, he’ll make up for the years lost

J = Jack off (masturbation headcanon)

He does it whenever he can’t risk sneaking out. Also tries to hold off any visits to you with this for as long as he can.

K = Kink (one or more of their kinks)

Nah cuz he done smacked Aegon's ass with that sword

His biggest kink gotta be hair pulling. However, he’s definitely got a sadist side and likes to spank a little…

L = Location (favorite places to do the do)

In the safety of your bed, with the door locked and preferably sound-proofed

M = Motivation (what turns them on, gets them going)

He doesn’t really have any motivation, but when he gets the urge, he’ll come visit you.

N = No (something they wouldn’t do, turn offs)

Anything public – there’s too big of a risk.

O = Oral (preference in giving or receiving, skill, etc.)

Prefers giving over receiving. Idk why, but he doesn’t seem like the type who would enjoy looking down at you on your knees. Most definitely has some Madonna-whore-complex, so he still holds you up on his own weird kind of pedestal.

P = Pace (are they fast and rough? slow and sensual? etc.)

Fast and rough, most definitely. Incelot has places to be.

Q = Quickie (their opinions on quickies, how often, etc.)

All. The. Time. It’s all he can manage most of the time, and you’ve gotta work as well, so this is the best solution most of the time.

R = Risk (are they game to experiment? do they take risks? etc.)

Not really. He knows what he likes, and so do you, so there’s no sense in this for him.

S = Stamina (how many rounds can they go for? how long do they last?)

He can last a few, but mostly doesn’t have time for them. Usually it’s foreplay and then one round.

T = Toys (do they own toys? do they use them? on a partner or themselves?)

He’s too proud for them, if there is a westerosi version of toys

U = Unfair (how much they like to tease)

He doesn’t like to tease tbh. Unfair applies more to your relationship, as it’s probably going to be mostly for sex and you can expect gaslighting from him…

V = Volume (how loud they are, what sounds they make, etc.)

Not very loud, he’s intent on valuing his time with you (mostly), so he tends to go silent. Also reminds you not to make too much noise.

W = Wild card (a random headcanon for the character)

He loves you in his own fucked up way, and he’s in dire need of therapy tbh. If you do end up running away with him, he’ll fall so hard for you and absolutely marry you and have a bunch of kids with you. I think a part of why he became so bitter is his loneliness, and that he would love to have four kiddos running around and demanding his attention all the time. You can see it in the way he acts with aegon and aemond if you ask me.

Get him in the right headspace, and he’ll be THE best girl dad ever.

X = X-ray (let’s see what’s going on under those clothes)

It’s big, and lowkey I wish it wasn’t. Definitely long, rather than thick, but it’s a good length ;)

Y = Yearning (how high is their sex drive?)

Sometimes, it’s basically non-existent for weeks, and then sometimes, he can’t stand to be away from you.

Z = Zzz (how quickly they fall asleep afterwards)

He doesn’t. His guilt keeps him up for the nights afterwards, but if you do run with him, he’ll be snoozing away in no time.

[yandereunsolved]

Is that hotd i see 👀 may i as for a daemon hcs or one shot (whatever you feel like)

I love it when the yandere is secretly watching and when the feelings are kept secret for a while. So would you mind doing something where reader is rhaes friend and daemon wants her but she knows theres something wrong with him and rejects his atempts at getting her to fly his dragon or simply standing to close to him?

I love yandere pinning (is that even a thing?)

(i know rhaenyra is 14 at the beginning but the reader can be 18 or so because in the books ali was also 18, if you want you can make her older tho!)

Kisses!

✨ snatches Daemon off of Caraxes ✨

You are now a yandere. ♡

I had sm fun writing this. It's really dark. I really enjoy writing Daemon's character anyway.... so... enjoy!

ˏˋ°•*⁀➷ request fulfilled here

[jamespotterismydaddy]

I also feel that we need to acknowledge this quote bc it makes me squirm ngl (your writing is *impeccable* and it rlly comes through in chapter 8 & 9 regarding reader's feelings!!

"The resistance. The resistance of your body makes him feel sick to his stomach. He’s never had a time with a woman where he didn’t just slip in with ease and now he’s just forced himself into his unwilling young bride.

And

"you just hope that there is a son in your belly so you will never have to warm your husband's bed again."

too bc???? And how Cregan compares her to a child in chapter 10 when she confronts him!!! (Tho we know Cregan isn't a creep, and I know they aged everybody in the timeline in the show, I HC Reader to be at least a year younger than Jace but older the Luke) but I just cant help envisioning a baby face rhaenyra in 1x05 after Criston kills Joffrey at the feast and they have to fast tract the marriage between Laenor and Rhae)

And I really hope we don't get a surprise pregnancy bc I have a feeling she will be even MORE depressed and silently angry and ngl our girl deserves happiness tbh

Anyway, your writing is AMAZING and I cannot wait for more Lord Husband <3

Ahhh yes that was just what I was going for because I feel like if she was older, then there would be less of the impact I’m going for. Little baby face Rhae is exactly what I wanted people to imagine. Like it is HORRIFIC for little girls to be married off and forced to have babies at such a young age because we even see it being justified when they’re 16 or older and it’s just not right.

Cregan compares her to a child with two different meanings and though I think he’s a good person, he still doesn’t quite see the hypocrisy in it all

[luthien-under-bough]

True, Daemon tells us a lot from his actions. And I fully believe he's not a big kisser. Maybe when he was young he mimicked some affections, but when he was older he stopped bothering. He wouldn't have been eager to kiss the brothel ladies exactly. And if we go by his sex habits one of his first experiences was probably doggy style, and he cont that too. But Rhaenyra he kisses because he wants to, and he makes love to her, FACING him. Daemon meta FTW 🤔

Sex can just be sex, but kissing is so much more intimate and romantic IMO. So he saves that for Rhae. Definitely just sloppy make-outs constantly. And my HC is that she loves to be on top, so definitely heavy make-outs while she rides him. 👌

[rhaegxr]

𝐎𝐎𝐂; So according to GRRM, Dany never got to read the books she was gifted because (unlike her big brother) she is not much of a reader. Which has me wonder just what those books were... If they were, you know, maybe the complete histories that we are told are incomplete in Fire and Blood, related to Valyria and Dragons?

If so, know without a doubt that Rhaegar would've devoured those books, his ghost is there just suffering in the beyond.

[tqwnw]

obligatory rhaelys hc- when she's comfy and at ease instead of just passing out from exhaustion, rhae snores. like. SNORES. she's the blood of the dragon and she damn well sounds like one. corlys is used to having to wake up at the slightest hint of a storm or pirate attack so it's not uncommon that he'll bolt upright because his lovely wife sounds like a lawnmower, but it's genuinely so endearing to him that he doesn't mention it. for how elegant and calm she is while awake (by targ standards at least) it's not the sort of thing anyone would expect, which makes it that much better that only he gets to witness it.

TGIS IS SO FUNNY AND PRECIOUS. THIS IS ACCEPTED WITH MUCH ENTHUSIASM. it’s so sweet that he doesn’t mention it 🫶

[lumyart]

More HCs for a fic I’ve never read (after reading about your A/R descriptions). I wonder if both A/R are always observing, wary of each other, and if some moments are just so intense, a “hate”-fascination. A random scene that came to mind - Rhae is conveniently making out with someone in a school library corner by the religion section. She spots Alicent over a shoulder; Alicent hard stares from other side of the room, rooted to the spot. Hold each other’s gaze the entire time.

"I ran out of space… to continue the library scene… I envision it being super charged. Rhae’s doing it to be a shit, just daring Alicent to action. Alicent keeps staring cause she won’t back down, and wants to judge her “heathen” ways. But they’re both just lying to themselves about all of this."

this both could and could not be canon... but because i decide i say you're right❤️ however, things were not really charged for Rhaenicent in school (up to... a certain point :o) and their teenage years will only be explored as flashbacks in OoS - which is when the tension will really flourish :o

but, there 100% came a time in school where Rhaenyra did things Alicent would never even dare imagine and it both confused, annoyed and frustrated her immensely... she was her only friend, and she liked her a lot, but could she really ignore that Rhaenyra made out with girls in broad daylight when it went against everything she was taught to stay away from and despise? and why did it make her so angry, why did imagining herself in those girls' place ease the anger so much? :o

at this point i wonder how many hcs you'll come up with once you actually know what it's about😭 lemme try to write the summary today so i can make this easier for you❤️

[volcre]

okay but why is creating your own random hcs about a muse literally like half the fun of this? herm.ione loving coffee more than tea? done. vaenyra knowing how to sing? done. rhae being afraid of the dark almost as much as she is afraid of childbirth and pregnancy after loosing so many people bc of it?............ well.

[tovska]

“You look absolutely terrible.” // rhae!

BENEATH  HIS  BLANKETS,  A  WHIMPER  ANSWERS,  and there is movement within the heap which promises that he is still alive. his head lifts to see his love, dull hues blinking from weariness, before returning it to the throw pillow that he has pulled to cushion his head on the old couch. and oh, he knows how wretched he looks : he knows the ugliness that has become him in the past days, when yet another illness has overtaken this frail body. the coughing would have been enough to keep him up for these past days —- the nightmares, the way memory drifts with consciousness in those brief hours when he can sleep, have ensured the absence of rest. the past has beaten an infection in his flesh, and now that it has seized his body, he has no power to fight it off, no strength left within those worn bones. he can barely speak, but manages, “ it feels worse. ”

aphrodite.   laughter-loving, sweet smiles, dressed in silk and satin, flower in their hair, sees the world as a runway, unapologetically sexual, the sea washing their ankles, in love with love, stirrer of passion, cunning concealed by painted lips, secret daggers, doves, revolution in their kiss, delighting in the waves, flirtatious winks, strolling along the beach, staring wistfully from a balcony, this is how to be a heartbreaker, wants to be adored, gets turned on by danger.

apollo.   glitz and glamour, art galleries, turning the volume up, being made of gold, neatly-organized music sheets, notebooks filled with poetry, bathing in the sunlight, the powerful urge to create, collecting vinyl records, beautiful cover of wonderwall, playing multiple instruments, tasting like sunshine, healing touch, speaking in prophecies, smile mingled with wrath, shunning lies, sporting shades, hanging out at music festivals with their friends,sleeps naked, arrow to the heart, paint brushes, probably has a tinder account

ares.   armed for battle, wants to raise a dog with their significant other, soft spot for children, gives piggyback rides, scarred body, blood on their hands and face, willing to fight the world for the ones they love, fights against injustice, warm hugs, well-worn combat boots, boxing gloves, bandages wrapped around bruised knuckles, fist raised in protest, ignites revolutions, fear is a prison, more sensitive than what their tough shell would have you think, exhausted, damaged goods, force to be reckoned with, red roses, curses under their breath.

artemis.   keen sense of a hunter, freckles like constellations on their skin, piercing eyes, disheveled braid, moonlight peeking through the shadows, the calm of the forest at night, lying on the grass and staring at the stars, mother doe and her fawn, protecting their kin, the moon shimmering on a still lake, quiver full of arrows resting against the bark of a tree, running with wolves, bonding while circled around a campfire, not being much of a people person, arrow hitting a target, popping egos, patience on 3%, touches heaven and returns howling.

athena.   discerning gaze, unreadable face, quiet museums, owl perched on their finger, armor that intimidates, eye for architecture, plays the sims for the sole purpose of building houses, studied the blade while everyone else was busy getting laid, big fan of logic, loves brain teasers, ancient buildings, sweaters in neutrals and cool colors, hair done up, can kill you with their brain, heads to the library often to research, sharpened pencils, abs that can cut steel, stoic statues, pottery classes.

demeter.   soil-covered hands, smile that can bloom flowers, skin loved by the sun,being the mom-friend, can lift you and your friends, flowers kept in the pockets of overalls, takes pride in their beautiful garden, speaks to their plants, leaves rustling in the wind, stalks of wheat, picking fruit, greenhouses, heart as strong as a mountain, values simplicity,daisies dotted across a collarbone, curls crowned with flowers, folded pile of sweaters in warm hues, pulling out fresh-baked bread out of the oven and the smell wafting through the air.

dionysus.   drunk shitposter, on their sixth glass of wine before you’ve even finished your second, seductive smirks, untamed curls, rich fabrics on dark skin, sleek-furred panthers, theater masks, stage productions,  receiving a standing ovation,  rose caught between their teeth, being the baby of the bunch, wild parties that last from sundown to sunup, creeping vines, inspiring loyalty, grand opera houses, masquerade balls, rolls of film, shattered chandeliers with broken glass scattered across the wine-spilled floor, pouring champagne into flutes, lives for the applause.

hephaestus.   the calloused hands of someone who knows labor, sweaty brow, flame burning in their eyes, inventive mind, broad shoulders, steampunk goggles, nuts and bolts stored away in little boxes, ashes, striking a match, blueprints for future projects, fixing up a busted up car and giving it cool upgrades, wrestles with bitterness, work boots have seen better years, wrinkled plaid shirts, iron melted in blazing fire, huge jackets, crafting masterpieces, greased-stained overalls, fascination with robotics, pain is fuel, stack of weaponry, even their muscles have muscles.

hera.   resting bitch face, dressed to the nines, cows grazing on a pasture, cool rain, loving and hating fiercely, hand clutching a string of pearls, large chandelier with glittering crystals, plays the sims for the sole purpose of killing off their sims, romance to realism, pictures of the sky while flying on a plane, files that under fuck it, downs glasses of wine as they relax with a scented bubble bath and netflix, like their selfie or you’re grounded, knows 57 convenient ways to murder a man, dark eyes that penetrate your soul, marble and gold.

hermes.   devil-may-care smile, always up-to-date on the latest technology, will steal your french fries, does it for the vine, shitposter, puts googly eyes on everything, meme hoarder, long drives on the highway, ma and pop diners, spontaneous road trips, folded maps, fingers dancing across the keyboard of a laptop, shooting hoops on the basketball court, chatting up strangers as you all journey to your own destinations, goes jogging in the morning, mixes redbull with coffee, menace on april fool’s, hoodies and sneakers.

poseidon.   storm with skin, colorful coral reefs, waves crashing against the shore, stroking the soft fur of a cat, their heart pounding as their horse’s gentle trot speeds into a gallop, tousled locks, clothes smeared with paint, owns several sketchbooks yet always yearns to own more, leather jackets, fondness for diy projects, handwriting that flows across the page, nimble fingers playing the strings of a violin, velvety singing voice that haunts your dreams, mood as ever-changing as the sea, the roar of a motorcycle, compass with a spinning arrow.

zeus.   thunder in their heart, running on coffee, flash of lightning, natural charisma, eloquence, badass in a nice suit, aficionado of history, force of nature, lenny face, nightmare-filled nights, proud arm around their lover’s waist, high-rise buildings, planes soaring through a cloudless sky, technician on the piano, maintains order, strong handshake, juggling multiple events on their busy schedule with ease, expensive watch.

Ghost AU HCS 🖤 - Daemon has to get used to how warm she is. When he wasn't with his body he didn't really feel temperatures, only muted. But she is so warm and he really enjoys it 👻🖤 He also has to get used to his heart racing and his own temps spiking sometimes. When he first kisses her (I don't remeber the first kiss after he's alive) but she tastes so good. And he thought kissing her was great as a ghost. He has to go through a sensory overload thing. Especially with her. But she helps. It's also enjoyable. Does this make sense? What's the numebr thing? If it's fans I'm 5, or 6, or whoever many we have already

Yes - it was trying to count how many different Anons there are commenting on this. The last person to sound off was #4, so that makes you officially #5! 🖤

This is a great point - we've talked so much about Rhae getting used to him having an actual physical body, but it would probably be overwhelming for him after not really feeling things for so long. Sensory overload, exactly! But in a good way, of course. He loves it - even when it feels like too much it's so so much better than the alternative.
