#rhae rambles

[rhaelynn]

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 🧺🐺🍅

Also… 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 😮‍💨), but now I’m like FUCK ME these new covers *groans in content*

Girl, when is Kisaeng!au coming back??? I miss that😭😭😭

So sorry to keep you waiting m'dear 😭🙏 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 🫶🫶🫶 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 ☁️

So brain, resorting to a third opinion: i need a drink to sober up 💀 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 doesn’t 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.

Considering how all of maekar’s 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

GUYSSSSSS REMEMBER HOW THE ECLIPSE HAPPENED THIS WEEK????

"I think Hwi and Nam Seon-ho were the sun and moon in their past lives. I bet that's why they seem so inseparable in this one."

An eclipse is a time where the sun and the moon meet. HWI AND SEON-HO MET GUYS THEY’RE TOGETHER AGAIN AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[godblooded]

me dipping back into the mess that is asoiaf : but what if dany’s vision wasn’t rhae but was in fact aegon in a vision of something that never was and it was not rhae whispering lyanna’s name but instead a false past dany saw at the house of the undying and we do not know whose name was whispered since ‘a dying prince’ could easily be aegon as well as rhaerhae and we know that the visions are unreliable.

[praypanic]

wuthering heights rh*enic*nt edits……you are Not understanding the characters

[earth4angels]

a little ramble: i think it’s very important on how quiet jacaerys is throughout the whole episode, actually since he’s been back from the north. he’s calculating everything silently, he’s 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. he’s looking at his mother upset to why she’s not acting, to why they’re burying their loyal protector with the enemy who was sent to kill her.

“what of those who sent him.” he’s basically like okay? the enemy broke an oath towards you too?? why haven’t you punished them?? in a sense, we see how he’s 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 haven’t acted yet. and now that his mother left to “personally deliver the message” TO AN ENEMY who btw did not regret anything. we’re going to see jacaerys’ anger snap. and honestly? i would to. and i’m whole heartedly supporting.

anyways, hbo’s writers are incredibly dumb for making rhae so? i can’t 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.. we’re just watching the writers fanfiction atp play out lol

[avnasace]

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.

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!
