Today’s Mandala Message: Ask Questions This week I’m working through Principle #52 “When In Doubt, Check It Out”. I set my intention today to ponder asking more questions. From an article by Catherine Winter on AConsciousRethink.com about assumptions, she states: “We can never know what other people are thinking or feeling unless we have the courtesy to ask them. In fact, 99.9% of the time, what…

Noble leaders choose: wisdom over wealth, knowledge over fame, understanding over honor, virtue over titles, and people over power.

look. not to be too mean on main. the rightful heir thing. if you don't care about the intricacies of property law or legal writs and just want to focus on characterization and other aspects of storytelling, fine.

but it truly does look very goofy when you start "debating" this while lacking historical context and methodological tools. sometimes a constitutional crisis (that was already resolved in the 12th century and whose results you can always look up) can't just be settled by appealing to one's anachronistic opinion and accusing those who disagree of misogyny.

there's a difference between suggesting how things should be (i.e. prescriptive, i.e. women should never inherit the throne) and analysing how things were for a myriad of socio-political reasons.

also, trust me, the Dance being fictional is not the gotcha people think it is. it's plenty obvious. i'm sorry to say but the premise is so flimsy it would never have happened like that irl.

final idea: likewise, perhaps being condescending about people who do take the time to criticise the premise is veering a little bit towards anti-intellectualism. 'idc about succession laws ergo i'm more enlightened bc i've unlocked an edgelord-y way to enjoy fiction'. a medievalesque fantasy setting is going to attract commentators who are interested in medieval history or at least aspects of it. they may find copy-paste scenarios from real history and think it interesting to compare and contrast. it's not immediately equivalent to treating aegon and rhaenyra like your ballot choices next election, and, equally, they're not discussions without merit.

comparative analysis is a transferable skill! if someone doesn't want to partake, fine, but i think this attitude of turning one's nose at it is a tad coarse. there are many fans who take the time to write informative posts and contextualise this fictionalised universe and it's a shame to automatically write-off what is ultimately a rich tradition in internet asoiaf spaces

*crawls out of 2 yrs’ silence on mdzs* in a modern au Lan Wangji’s reliance on structure and rules could closely mirror the way some students advance immediately from bachelors to masters to phd without taking breaks because it is a “safe” route that allows them to fulfill family and societal expectations of success and intellect in a relatively familiar environment without the perceived higher risk and greater volatility of success in the workforce, particularly where there is a family business in which such education is not necessary but still rewarded. His protection of Wei Wuxian could similarly play out as him dropping out of his studies before being pulled back by his family, and his growth across the 13 yrs supported by completing his degree but shifting his dissertation focus or concentration to a less theoretical and more highly applied vein of the same field. In this AU, I—

Toto and everyone else in charge at Mercedes are very unserious. Because if they contested that penalty and were successful, Lewis would only be 1 point behind Fernando

tomgreg is not "i could fix him" nor "i could make him worse" but "i could make him feel like a real person." from both ends.

idk if it means anything really, but i think it's interesting how after all their time together as a couple in a christianity-adjacent world, lucifer and lilith only had one (1) child, and it was only 200 years ago at that

23-294 Just the Facts #7

Today’s Mandala Message: Notice Your Projections This week I’m working through Principle #52 “When In Doubt, Check It Out”. I set my intention today to ponder how I project my past onto my present…with people and situations. Continuing with the article I referenced yesterday by Catherine Winter on AConsciousRethink.com about assumptions, she offers 8 ways to help us stop making assumptions.…

1. If we were meeting three years from today, what has to have happened during that three-year period for you to feel happy about your progress?

2. What are the biggest dangers you’ll have to face and deal with in order to achieve that progress?

3. What are the biggest opportunities that you have that you would need to focus on and capture to achieve those things?

4. What strengths will you need to reinforce and maximise, and what skills and resources will you need to develop that you don’t currently have in order to capture those opportunities?

Roman has many roles in the Roy family. Punching bag and peacemaker. His dad’s least-favourite child and most loyal servant.

Perpetually resentful of being in his older brother’s, and yet still said brother’s most consistent advocate.

The one role he’ll never be asked to play: guy who figures out what’s wrong with the printer / computer / cable box.

[thepersonalwords]

The idea that “work” competes with “life” ignores that “life” is actually the intersection and interaction of four major domains: work, home, community, and the private self.

lowkey had an epiphany when i realized the parallels between tywin + tyrion and roman + logan, the malformed son who reflects his father's most shameful inclinations, and so suffers an entombing of the brilliance they do share. the best of you marred by one's immutable predispositions, by divergences of dna.

honestly, now that i write it out the roy siblings and the lannisters reflect quite well.

KLR and jaime both prodigal sons with fleeting convictions, ideological crisis's and premature killer instinct.

cersei and shiv both undermined daughters, and so made overzealous snakes, knowing only perversions of love and left ensnaring those beholden to them.

roman and tyrion, professor cant fuck and mr crossbolt fistfuck

while the ways they're shaped and nuanced are notably incongruent, both cocky boing boing brothers are left robbed of their glory by the golden son, regarded forever as defective, irrevocably so.

got is lowkey just medieval succession. like it just makes sense that lena headey has always been my pick for an alt shiv casting. twin bitches on a jet skiiii. truly. 🐉 riz ahmed is my ken casting and toby maguire is my rome ofc :)
