A commission for the ever wonderful @hydrachea !! Her Genshin Impact OC Talya is A Certified Babe and I accidentally drew her in a very character card pose, so Ray edited her onto a Genshin character background by InarielSsh on Deviantart (Links will be in the comments!)

The amount of alters other alters have added to our list. I mean it's kind of embarrassing because we make picrews for all of them. Like i know that is like "faker" behaviour. But it does help us feel organized. Even if they are just fragments only full of one task or emotion. Or subsystem parts. Or more elaborated alters.

We know that we have definitely split a lot recently. We have been hospitalized for body-medical issues, and for psychosis. We've been in a PHP & IOP. We made friends who then just ghosted us leaving us w/ no one IRL. we haven't heard from two of our closest friends in like months and we worry they might be dead. We've had multiple appliances break in our house along with car trouble. Our psychologically abusive grandmother stayed with us and then we've had to help her move. Which also included a lot of triggers. We've been having suicidal parts activated bad. Our parents have been fighting even more than normal. We've been hallucinating bad and struggling a lot w/ ADLs as well as doing enjoyable activities. Our nutrition and sleep and exercise have been shit. Our chronic illnesses have been flaring. And our CFS has been bad.

I mean like how could we not be splitting? It's been in multiple sections of our system making us switch between sections a lot which makes amnesia really bad.

We've been so emotionally stressed while still playing therapist and middlemen w/ parents

flashbacks have been so bad along with nightmares

so yeah we've been increasing our alter head count like crazy.

And Luke has been adding older parts in his section of our system which i've never met.

I just want to not feel like i'm constantly shifting and standing on unstable ground

And TBH I miss PHP & IOP. At least that got me out of the house and added structure. As well as i thought i had made friends.

But nope

And then adding on feeling cringe for making picrews even though it makes me feel like i'm having some control

Character asks: 12 for Vortalis and/or Talya, whatever strikes your fancy?

:3 yay, time for some innocent fun!

Vortalis: when he talks about only sending enemies after Holland, he includes Talya in that list.

Talya: she knew the twins distantly when they first came to London. They were very young then, about eight or nine, and she used to toss them some spare coins or scraps when walking home after work like they were kittens.

They mourned as much as they knew how to when she stopped showing up.

[cryiling]

if you're still taking requests, could you draw Talya in her tStN glory 🥺🙏

TALYAAAAA

actually I hate drawing why was she so hard to draw

Omg that dog looks just like my character Talya Carter! Helps that she looks like a Border Collie mix, like Talya is. 😆 ❤️ She also looks a lot like Machete too!

I met a dog who looks a lot like Machete-- even had similar temperament lol, she was pretty shy

She seems awfully sweet. I love her hairy toes and impressive arm fringes.

[mejcinta]

Oh yeah, I forgot about Talya haha.

To be fair, Mysaria is meant to have spies and I get why the writers would see her as an "obvious" choice but you are right that anyone with 2 cents would understand that it probably has more to do with Alicent.

Like.... I'm not opposed to the idea full stop. But side characters are important and should be treated that way. I want to know what was Talya's motivations, did Mysaria have dirt on her, what are her thoughts on Alicent, Rhaenyra, Mysaria, and this entire situation, was this only meant to be a one time thing and it spiralled out of control?

Honestly if I had to pick either Talya or Dyana to be involved in some way in Blood & Cheese I would pick the former, because at least with her IMO there's less potential for the writers to do something really awful with it. There's also the fact that Talya is a grown woman who understands the dangers of her role, whereas Dyana is traumatised and vulnerable. This poor girl has no one 100% looking out for her best interest alone.

Wow. Great insight. Yes, I would pick Talya too over Dyana. Because as the audience we have history with her. She was there when Aemond's eye was gouged out. She seemed on good terms with Alicent as her maidservant as well.

Her 'betraying' the family by working for Mysaria and/or having a role to play in B+C would add so many layers of complexity. Because again, the question is, what does Mysaria have on her? What does she have against the Greens? Is there something in her past that drove her to choose Mysaria's side or take up her cause?

I have questions. Unfortunately, Talya will not be returning and so we will never know.

However, I'm giving the writers the benefit of the doubt. They could end up making Dyana's role in season 2 sensible and the outcome a tragedy of sorts.

Honestly i wish they showed alicentfirst seeing the eye slash

what if…………… aegon immediately standing with aemond in ep. 8 is part of what he interpretes as “trying so hard”

alicent tells him in ep. 7 “that was nothing compared to the abuse your brother suffered while you were drowning in your cups, you fool.” and basically questions why aegon wasn’t there to protect his little brother

so apart from aegon’s love for chaos and causing trouble, there must have been a part of him who knew he had to stand with his brother during the toast

because i know we don’t see it, but i do not think aegon shrugged off aemond’s loss of eye. not necessarily because he personally felt guilty for it (though he might have), but it must have been a shocking sight to see aegon with a stitch that big on his face, his eye gone completely, him in pain, his mother terrified, the fear of infection and death. aegon can be a complete POS but i don’t think he just went “lol shit happens” and didn’t mind it 

also on the same note:

in this picture we see another instance of helaena letting someone touch her. talya has a hand around her in comfort and in her other hand there’s a piece of cloth with blood on it, indicative of talya trying to probably help alicent or the maester clean all the blood from aemond’s face because it wasn’t just the eye, aemond is bleeding from both his nose and his mouth and appears to have other scraps and bruises from being put on the ground and punched & kicked

and on the same note, i cannot imagine alicent’s face as her son was brought in the room blood rushing down his face, eye slashes as they were rushing to get the maester to him as soon as possible. 

this was all around such a traumatic incident for all of them so i’m sure that while aegon seemed still standing there next to his sister and brother, he didn’t take it lightly. and i think the more time passed, the more he processed how f’ed up everything was

[ultipoter]

Two commissions I’ve done for @hydrachea of her Genshin Impact OC Talya and Childe! These were an ABSOLUTE BLAST to draw, thank you for commissioning me ❤️

[scenessystem]

Even in the PHP I'm the craziest person. The other patients don't experience complex dissociation or psychosis. Like I feel other even with the other sick people. Like I try to ask for help during the support groups and they give me their experience w/ depressive symptoms. Like yes I know about depression.

I'm here because reality isn't real and my brain is screaming at me and I'm being haunted.

Every Saga has that One Song

The one that you listen to more than the others. The one that you played on repeat when you heard it for the first time. What were those songs for you? These are mine:

[kaelatargaryen]

Ok but Talya??????

Her fingers are bloody and she’s holding a bloody cloth whilst also holding Helaena, who already showed a complete disinterest in her own mother’s affection at this age. This makes my brain think that not only is Talya affectionate with Alicent’s children, but that they accept and depend on her affection. At least these two do, she doesn’t seem to have a problem snitching on Aegon for raping his maid later on, probably because she knew what would happen to the child if Dyana had gotten pregnant.

I can’t reconcile this with her being Mysaria’s spy so she’s ultimately a spy for Rhaenyra unless they go with the storyline where Rhaenyra knows the HighTargs were brainwashed and ultimately not responsible for all the betrayal that’s come from their side???

Either way, I love that Talya seems to be a caregiver figure in their lives

I've always seen how people compare older Aegon and older Alicent and how much Aegon looks like her but never younger Aemond and younger Alicent LIKE BRO LOOK.

He is his mama's boy idc what ppl say.
