Currently rereading Scarlet by Marissa Meyer (#2 in The Lunar Chronicles (which might just be my comfort YA series?)) for the second (?) time , and I am so happy Scarlet & Wolf still works for me š§ŗšŗš
Alsoā¦ I used to hate the fact that they changed the covers & the old versions became out of print (I was saving up to collect the whole series š®āšØ), but now Iām like FUCK ME these new covers *groans in content*
#rhae rambles#the lunar chronicles#marissa meyer#scarlet x wolf#wolflet#spoilers for scarlet below:#unpopular (?) opinion: scarlet (the novel) >>>>>> cinder (the novel)#literally I am tempted to skim the parts for Captain Thorne because heās just annoying lollll#(perhaps Iāll change my mind when we get to Cress but weāll see)

Girl, when is Kisaeng!au coming back??? I miss thatššš
So sorry to keep you waiting m'dear šš After my exams back in May/June, I was quite literally brain dead and couldn't write for the life of me. This past week, I've managed to write another 2k for the next chapter so things are starting to look up again.
I've got a big family wedding this weekend and some relatives coming over but hopefully my writing schedule will be back on track so I can post something by the fic's 1-year anniversary on the 15th
Thank you for waiting so patiently all this time and for still being invested in my story š«¶š«¶š«¶ As one of my first mutuals, I appreciate you so much for being here since the start

Anatomy of brain chaos, vol. 1
My brain: *bellows & hurls something at the universe because I GOT THIS*
But brain, seeing the time: i want my bed! Comfy āļø
So brain, resorting to a third opinion: i need a drink to sober up š sleep what no pull an all nighter and get shit done
Brain, reprimands in Helen Mirren: STUPID GORL
Brain, in 5th position: *activated, ready to dance in violence - aka latching onto distractions like tmr doesnāt exist*
Brain, defeated: FINE 6AM IT IS *aggressively sets alarm*
[shaking myself by the shoulders] i will get better. i will continue. i have no goddamn choice

no but the way viserys continues to haunt the story through rhaenyra and alicents conflict, which gets passed down to both of their children, is crazy good content.
the irony in that viserys the peaceful was the one who started this war, and the downfall of the dragons/his family in the first place.
viserys and daemon had their own conflict, but when viserys alienated rhaenyra initially by marrying her best friend, he then ignored his and alicents children, eventually later his actions leading to rhaenyra marrying his brother (who he'd also taken for granted and ignored).
he then kept doting on rhaenyra up until the moment he died, further seperating himself from his own children by alicent.
alicent knows of rhaenyras affairs, grows hateful and takes that resentment out on her own children instead, while her father otto is further poisoning her and them for his own ends to scheme for the throne.
so then alicents children learnt to grow up disliking rhaenyra's. the only time you see them even remotely amicable is when theyre bullying aemond, another bond made through cruelty instead of kindness. this is ironic considering at laenas funeral you can see that aemond actually thinks about trying to offer comfort to i think baela and rhaena (if i remember correctly?)
aegon and helaena couldnt care less, which to me makes it even more sad. if aemond had, he might not have then been so quick to rub his claiming of vhagar in their faces, and he might not have lost an eye.
the taking of the eye plus viserys' incompetence reignites and cements alicents hatred for rhaenyra even more. viserys takes rhaenyras side, not defending his hurt child at all, even going as far as to shout at aegon for even the mention that he might have said something against rhaenyra. this causes alicent to attack her, and later making her then double down on her efforts to pressure aegon into hating rhaenyra, further distancing him from her.
later we see with aegon that his mothers pressure leads him to find affection in other very unhealthy and harmful ways, assaulting his maids, excessive drinking, brothel going, and assumably fathering many bastards, leading him tho the child fighting rings as well. aemond too starts going to the brothel and avoiding alicent, but for platonic affection instead of anything more.
helaena is the one who received the most of her mothers love and the least of her cruelty, however their relationship is similarly screwed up because shes the only child that doesnt actually want affection from her...
meanwhile rhaenyra is a very loving and fiercely protective mother to her children, fighting for them above all else, especially when their parentage is concerned. she does anything for them, and it shows in their natures that their upbringing, other than the scrutiny from other nobles about their father, that they were raised kindly and wisely.
whats also completely different is that rhaenyras children have not one but three father figures, all of which love them in different ways, which is three more than alicents children have. you could make an argument for cole being a prominent male figure in their lives but he is also quite cruel and hateful.
we see team greens children grow up to be anxious, affection starved control freaks, with mummy and daddy issues, with not one of them knowing how to be a leader even though they are all in some way forced to be one.
aegon is an incompetent drunkard of a king who knows nothing of court or war or politics, not even high valyrian. he is only a figurehead, but is strangely empathetic towards his subjects and loves his children.
aemond is cruel and objective, a fierce fighter and being the most studied and educated of them all, but with no care to his subjects and far too willing to disregard or maim his own blood for his own ambitions.
helaena is the gentlest but she herself has no ambition to rule, she is kind but also an outcast of their society because of her prophecies. she also does not particularly care for her subjects, even being scared of them and their willingness to get to know her.
meanwhile in complete contrast jacaerys and lucerys are kind, more than willing to learn, theyre fluent in high valyrian, they are very interested in their histories and heritage and they learn sword fighting from harwin and assumably laenor? later probably daemon too.
they stand in the war council room with their mother and learn, and even baela and rhaena are involved by rhaenyra to both take part and learn.
the generational trauma goes crazy in this show, but all these characters are so compelling. i dont think there is a single main character that doesnt interest me. yes most of them are bad people and have done awful things, but its also so interesting to see how they got that way and see how one fathers actions, or lack thereof, caused so much destruction.
#this was much longer than i thought itd be xjdjxjsjjza#ill also admit i havent read the books but i am planning to#so there may have been things i missed or got wromg#idk this show is really special honestly and its a breath of fresh air from the shite writing and pacing from the last few seasons of GoT#idk something about this being a 'mans world' but these whole events were started by tragic yuri is amazing#and until recently its been two women leading the two oppositions no matter how subtly they were leading#a man drove a wedge between two girls and they spiralled into thus#its art#also tragic siblings/family goes hard im ngl it always makes me sad#house of the dragon#hotd#aegon ii targaryen#aemond targaryen#helaena targaryen#alicent hightower#viserys targaryen#rhaenyra targaryen#daemon targaryen#jacaerys velaryon#lucerys velaryon#laenor velaryon#harwin strong#i didnt talk much about rhaes younger children because they havent gotten mich screen time yet#and also i havent read the books and hopefully avoided most spoilers sjdjsjdks#baela targaryen#rhaena targaryen#ace rambles

Considering how all of maekarās sons have storylines related to the return of dragons in some way (even aerion, although his is obviously a dark twisted attempt at bringing them back), I hope we see a similar theme for his two daughters daella and rhae in fire and blood volume two

show! rhaenyra is kind of a prissy compared to book! rhaenyra. i said what i said like i cannot even consider show! rhaenyra as rhaenyra anymore šš
#this is not hatred towards emma okay their acting was phenomenal#but rhaenyraās characterisation in the show is SO DUMB#and uneccesarily just making her look bad like sheās so#some daemon obsessed girl? no she wasnāt š#atleast millyās rhaenyra was somewhat a lit bit closer to canon rhae rhae but the barās down to hell#rhaenyra kuntenserven targaryen iām sorry they did this to you#medu rambles#anti hotd#anti show rhaenyra#rhaenyra was westerosās barbie#and they ruined her like this

goodbye sweet baby Aemond... hello angry, vengeful teenage Aemond!!!
#hes still baby#to me!#long tags rambling about the next few chapters->#im very excited for this chapter and bringing Aemond/Aegon closer to their older counterparts#the green kids are all still ācloseā but there's a lot more bitterness baked into their interactions#Rhae's trying to hold both of the boys accountable for their shitty behabior and I think#the only reason she is not going insane herself is because her relationship with Helaena has mostly been unscathed by recent events#if anything they're even closer#there is still the 'marrying Aegon' piece that will be hard for both of them but...#Rhae is way more pissed off at Aegon for treating Helaena poorly than anything#and is additionally frustrated because she can't get through to him as well as she used to#like Aegon was always been a pain in the ass but he had his redeeming moments and now hes just. Dived off a cliff!#he's shut both of them out which makes Helaena sad and Rhae angry#meanwhile Aemond is interesting because#most core parts of him are the same but. Where he used to been a bit more calm and collected he's a lot more explosive.#he still wants to study and train and he still is capable of being gentle#but his ego has been simultaneously bruised and bolstered because of his eye/ Vhagar#he treats his family more or less the same but the way he talks about others is.. alarming!#so Rhae is going to grow closer with them but at the same time#he's going to become less and less familiar to her

me dipping back into the mess that is asoiaf : but what if danyās vision wasnāt rhae but was in fact aegon in a vision of something that never was and it was not rhae whispering lyannaās name but instead a false past dany saw at the house of the undying and we do not know whose name was whispered since āa dying princeā could easily be aegon as well as rhaerhae and we know that the visions are unreliable.
#ooc. king of unpopular opinions.#[I think about it sort of like how Grecian oracles worked whereā¦ they were super fucking high 90% of the time and therefore nothing was#reliable no matter how much people wanted it to be. why history was littered with those errors in ancient days. like. yes it might be along#the line but what if dany saw an alternate vision and not actually the battle at the trident with -rhaegar-???#what if that WAS some real prince that was promised bullshit and we donāt know yet because winds of winter?????#I mean like. just food for thought really. only because we know he āwhispered a womanās nameā but dany doesnāt say WHO.#if it were lyanna surely she would recognize it in the vision asā¦. do I need to discuss why??? it wouldnāt be āa womanās nameā. it wouldāve#been stated. idk. I could be wrong. I need to do a reread so bad. BUT TRULY WHAT IS A REREAD WHEN MY SON HAS BEEN DEAD SINCE THE SERIES#STARTED. I love this melancholic boi. thank you krys and thank you new targ writing buddies for putting me back in hell.#I only have two modes and they are ārambles about the Targaryen bloodlinesā or ārambles about the Chris Chan docā and thereās no in between.#my interests areā¦. uhhhh interests????? anyway this has been your unsolicited targ ramble of no literal consequence at all.#why does it matter if that was or wasnāt rhae? it doesnāt Iām just thinking about it.]

wuthering heights rh*enic*nt editsā¦ā¦you are Not understanding the characters
#rhae and al*cent have been shown to be diametrically opposed from their very first moments onscreen#every interaction that they have highlights their differences in upbringingā stationā and ideals#they could NEVER do āhe is more myself than i amā āif he were to die the universe would become a stranger to meā#ali WOULD roll in her grave if rhae ever dug her up to look at her#rambles

a little ramble: i think itās very important on how quiet jacaerys is throughout the whole episode, actually since heās been back from the north. heās calculating everything silently, heās been very upset with everything, angry at the world, his heart filling with revenge and anger for the death of his two baby siblings, the attempt of murdering his queen mother, the betrayal from his supposed family and all he wants is to ACT.
as we get into episode 3, we see him at the verge of snapping. heās looking at his mother upset to why sheās not acting, to why theyāre burying their loyal protector with the enemy who was sent to kill her.
āwhat of those who sent him.ā heās basically like okay? the enemy broke an oath towards you too?? why havenāt you punished them?? in a sense, we see how heās siding with daemons actions since the death of viserys. i think its very interesting to see the heir to the throne trying to understand why their side is loosing more and havenāt acted yet. and now that his mother left to āpersonally deliver the messageā TO AN ENEMY who btw did not regret anything. weāre going to see jacaerysā anger snap. and honestly? i would to. and iām whole heartedly supporting.
anyways, hboās writers are incredibly dumb for making rhae so? i canāt even explain it. though i know the acts of the dance, everything that happens, im going into watching the show with no expectations bc well, we saw got s8 play out.. weāre just watching the writers fanfiction atp play out lol
#nattie yaps !#jacaerys velaryon#house of the dragon#jacaerys targaryen#everytime the writers mess up a character arc i loose a year of life#ps i still love my queen but a part of me is like ???

rhaenyras gaydar is incredible, she has managed to sniff out not one, not two, not three, but four queers.
like i know we gays tend to gravitate to eachother but goddamn shes married two queer men and now shes rizzing up mysaria, (who is ironically queer husband number two's ex fiancee) and this is without even mentioning the tragic-homoerotic-childhood-friend lesbians vibe she had going on with alicent like?
rhaenyra you are an inspiration.
#also show rhae is finally canonically a girl kisser now wahooooo#rhaenyra targaryen#laenor velaryon#daemon targaryen#alicent hightower#mysaria#hotd mysaria#house of the dragon#hotd#ace rambles

The Lives of Friends - Lyanna & Aemond (The Prequel) Part Two
AN: Thanks to @thenameswinter99 @legitalicat @foxyanon thank you three for listening to my ramblings over my babies, I got the hang of the message app don't worry! Love you guys!
This is a companion piece to The Lives of Friends - Series Masterlist here!
Summary: Lyanna and Aemond, and how they came to be.
CW: Stark sisters being adorable, Rhaenerys and Aemond having sibling vibes, the dm-ing begins, Rhaenerys plays matchmaker, Lyanna living the model life, Aemond promoted to CFO, Targ Bros have a moment.
Timeskip from last part Aemond is 20 and Lyanna is 18.
Pairings: Lyanna Stark (OC) x Aemond Targaryen
Aemond lurks on Lyanna's insta, support from Rhae prompts him to become a follower.
Aemond takes a risk and sends Lyanna a dm. Lets remember...Lyanna has had a major crush on him for two years. Lyanna's flirting rubs off on him in the best way. (A month between first set of messages and the second).
Ever giving big sister vibes, Rhae asks about Lyanna. Aemond comes to King's Landing for the weekend and offers to look in on a recovering Aegon.
Aemond has a proud brother moment.
Rhae plays matchmaker and the Stark siblings tease a nervous Lyanna.
Pre date fit check?
Things get a little spicy post date. Lyanna grosses her brothers out.
Again, no tags but if you want to be added...let me know!
#house of the dragon#the last kingdom#smau#the lives of friends smau#modern au#aemond targaryen#lyanna stark (oc)
