Oh no, totally understandable! I only said it because I sometimes think of some Targs as Visenya's descendants, forgetting for a moment that she doesn't actually have any. Something feels natural about calling Rhaenyra, Daenerys, and even Stannis "Visenya's descendants".
I do lean more towards liking that her line ended. Makes her feel more...unique, I guess? A matriarch of her dynasty, yet none can claim her as a foremother. This, along with there being no other Visenya Targaryen, makes her fame entirely her own. Unshared by anyone else in her line. (The only exception being the one son she chose to create to stabilize what she had helped build.)
Like there are many Targaryens who can (and do) say, "I am the blood of Aegon the Conqueror, I have his crown, his sword, and his name" to legitimize their reign. Even those who may be nothing like Aegon, who don't share his values or anything close to his accomplishments.
The only way to share a tiny spot in Visenya's legacy is to be like Visenya. To wield the sword she left behind as she would have. To be worthy of claiming dragon she rode. To share her values, to conduct yourself the way she did. It means sharing both the fame and the infamy.
This prevents Visenya from being watered down, white washed, or used as a shallow tool for somone else's personal gain. It keeps everything she was a little purer, because the few individuals who one might truly consider her "descendants" are those Visenya herself might have respected.
And that's pretty cool.

having a child has taught me that every toddler is completely justified in their frustrations and tantrums because learning how to do something you have literally never encountered or heard of before is insane. and being expected to be completely calm in the face of this constant barrage of overwhelming information is doubly insane.
i got charlie a sticker activity book and it occurred to me i have to TEACH someone how to unpeel stickers. it's SKILL that requires DEXTERITY and FINE MOTOR ABILITY. i thought it was obvious that you have to curl the page a little bit to create a break in the cut so the sticker comes up.
obviously a fucking BABY wouldn't know that because they have no background experience to inform their thought process. OBVIOUSLY. and OBVIOUSLY the LITERAL BABY wouldn't get it right the first few times. it would OBVIOUSLY take practice. lots of it.
i hate this feeling. it's so obvious. why are children treated so badly when they're learning everything for the first fucking time. why do people treat children so horribly and expect so much. they're brand new. why didn't i get the same grace i give to my child? why did no one have patience for me? why, when it's this easy?
it's so easy. it's so fucking easy.

Part of me secretly believes that if I make a really, really good and perfect piece of art that it will prevent people from ever being mean to me again. They'll say, "Wait, aren't you the one that made the really, really good and perfect piece of art? I'm so sorry for what I said. I thought the art was so good. I wish I had never hurt your feelings, now that I realize you are the one who made the art. I also have decided to agree with your political opinions. Here's a gift card."

seriously have been thinking about this all night long. call me autistic but the fact that 90% of workplaces the point is not to get your work done and then be done doing it but to instead perform an elaborate social dance in which you find something to do even when you're done doing everything you need to do in order to show your fellow workers that you, too, are Working . because you are at Work . disgusting why cant we all agree that if there is no work immediately to be done. we just dont do anything

sooooo triple-S team (Starscream-Soundwave-Shockwave) being the High Guard means that they are far older than Megatron and probably worked with Primes directly… just like Sentinel... And before carrying out his betrayal, he could have tried to rizz them (and fail miserably) so that they would more likely to continue working for him...

wade's undiagnosed ADHD (giggling everytime Logan stabs him) is only ever matched by Logan's undiagnosed autism (stabbing Wade with his claws when he's overstimulated)

It's hilarious that Wade was 100% ok with Logan being shirtless while they were alone but when they walked out and other people were staring too he was like "cover yourself up". Bro was jealous 😭😭😭😭
