I'm going to say this only once:

If you are looking for a fantastic Tangled story set after the series and once Rapunzel and Eugene are married, you need to read "Splitting Heirs" by @phantoms-lair and @providentially-demonic

It is, by far, one of the very best Tangled stories I've ever found. The writing is incredible, the characters are fantastic, the plot is engaging and I cannot not recommend this fic!

Seriously, if you want a great fic, give it a go! I'm just starting my fourth reread of it! You will not regret reading this fic!

Is there a scenario where you see Rhaenyra peacefully taking the throne, rulling successfully and able to pass the throne to one of her children?

Many, many things would have to change in the story, so no? but if we are making up an scenario then the first is that Viserys cannot have more children because with Daemon and the Velaryons, the realm already has too many heirs to split themselves over. It does not mean they would try to take the throne but the optics of having living male relatives (daemon & laenor) is enough for the lords to consider them over Rhaenyra. She would have to marry one of them to at least unite two claims and face the third together.

I would say marry Daemon and deal with the Velaryons with a betrothal with Laena's children but it also would mean going above and beyond to please Corlys for denying not one but two royal marriages. Giving him a reduction on taxes, more offices for him and his children like Laenor captain of the guards or something and Laena & Rhaenys a place of honor in Rhaenyra's household, a bigger cut on the Stepstone's treasure, idk thing that would make him see he's still appreciated as kin of the royal fam. If Rhaenyra marries Laenor, well.....what happens in canon would definitely happen again lol and the threat of bastardy would hang very heavily above the child's life. Or maybe not! If Rhaenyra doesn't marry again and bears more children, and if Corlys has the same attitude to her children as he does in canon then maybe it could go well.

If we are trying to smooth Rhaenyra's way, the first one is the best for her. Yes, she would alienate many by marrying Daemon but I think the lords would prefer two Targaryens (better the devil you know...) rather than the Sea Snake on the throne, and would fix a little the optics of a ruling queen if they think it's actually Daemon who is ruling.

Another thing is that she would have to be married during Viserys' time to avoid the question of heirs. People trust their rulers more when they see them have a family, if Rhaenyra is married with children then the line is secured to their eyes. As for a better ruling I wouldn't know because Rhaenyra barely got time to do it in between grieving for her children and the war. Listen to her advisors? Avoid war? Just generic Good Monarch things: Make connections with the lords, go on tours, try not to be a tyrant I guess.

Of course all this is all a "what if I Mariana allyriadayne were a god who could move these dolls as i pleased" scenario and I'm not accounting to other human reactions that could happen in between, only what I would make the characters do knowing how it could all end up. Or if I were writing fic lol

[wellnoe]

I always describe modern Rhaenyra in furs, pretty jewelry and stilettos because the show did her wardrobe and hair dirty.

Depending what route Nakano takes, it changes his appearance and the story!

the sims generation im playing right now is at college rooming with some friends and at one point i was like hmm this isn’t as realistic as i would like it to be and i downloaded a weed mod

[zahra-hydris]

part of the reason gwen so eagerly ‘volunteers’ to marry alistair is because she desperately wants to get away from the wardens and get back to some semblance of her old life

so when she’s asked, months later, to go and lead the new wardens in amaranthine, she immediately and firmly refuses. she provides no aid or insight, and ignores all their missives.

but she’s getting along so well with alistair at this point that she just doesn’t tell him and even pretends she was never asked

eamon brings this little lie up years later as one of his reasons why alistair should ‘put her aside’

was the RPF good? should i do the arduous work of copying and pasting to find out myself?

IT WAS IMPECCABLE but don't take my word for it, go read!!

[starsweepersims]

while I'm prepping for my next play session and to add to my now apparently empty queue, I just wanna say

Cataria had autonomous try for baby with her best friend, who got pregnant. Turns out said best friend is also her boss, who was about to give birth when Cat got promoted.

Thanks Cat. Thank you a lot.
