APOLLONIUS OF TYANA

It is reported that Apollonius of Tyana fell out of favor with Emperor Severus, who put him on trial and had his hair cut off to eradicate his magical powers. Then Apollonius simply vanished from the courtroom never to be seen again!.

His last words;

"I thank you indeed, my sovereign, but I would fain tell you that by reason of these miscreants your cities are in ruin, and the islands full of exiles, and the mainland of lamentations, and your armies of cowardice, and the Senate of suspicion. Accord me also, if you will, opportunity to speak; but if not, then send someone to take my body, for my soul you cannot take. Nay, you cannot take even my body,

"For thou shalt not slay me, since — I tell thee — I am not mortal."

And with this words Apollonius vanished from the courtroom.

I know Tyana admits to poisoning Maegor’s other wives but tbh I think his blood magic test tube baby ass could not father a healthy child anyways I think Alys going into labor early was Tyana’s poison and what she gave birth to was going to look like that anyways. I think Tyana telling Maegor as she died that that his other children would be similar was her being fully aware of what he was since she was a magic user herself. Also Visenya hated her for no given reason so my theory is that they were two magic practitioners that did not see eye to eye on how to use it.

I think blood magic will never replicate life perfectly no matter what the caster gives in return. Visenya got her healthy son but a simulacrum will never be true life.

Assassin Tyana. (Sorry if it’s cringe.)

I recognize Mainspring's changeling design. (I think.) Isn't that Tyan/Tyana?

Yep.

I'll give the basic gist of mainspring's story, how be became a changeling. But a lot of details are sadly lost so it might not make as much sense as it was supposed to.

He has always felt a lack of love and empathy, but his boundless curiosity and need for control made him start experimenting on finding ways to feel emotions. He developed a small creature that could give the faintest feelings of love to others, but it only encouraged these feelings to feed on it.

He continues trying to develop this creature, and creates changelings. They feed on love more aggressively so at least he's found a way to pinpoint the emotion.

Then he makes a strain that's contagious, still not mastering how to get it to work properly.

The most dangerous strain mutates over time, one that acts as a parasite that devours the pony's love and their insides as it eventually pops off their head, with their memories and personality still barely in tact. This is a strain that is around at the end of time.

These are then used as the Toclofane by Banana who can control them with the queen's pheromone he developed

Then as Missy he makes it so the dead can be converted into changelings as a 'gift' to the Doctor (Anything Cybermen is basically changelings here)

And finally he develops a strain that turns him into a changeling Queen, able to control ALL strains of changeling and able to feel empathy and love by the ability to taste emotions. Tyan/a tries to fix what they've damaged with changelings, and tries to be a genuinely good pony.

“Tomorrow will be like today and the day after tomorrow will be like the day before yesterday. I see your remaining days as a tedious collection of hours full of useless vanities. You will think no new thoughts. And you will forget what little you have known. Older you will become but not wiser…. When you die you will be buried and forgotten. And that is all… and for all the good or evil, creation or destruction your living might have accomplished, you might as well never have lived at all…”

Apollonius of Tyana (Tony Randall) to Mrs. Cassan (Lee Patrick) in “7 Faces of Dr. Lao” 1964

"Better  to  undersell  than  over.  I  can  be  called  a  great  many  things,  but  boastful  shall  not  be  one  of  them."  At  least,  not  outwardly.  Not  outside  of  the  confines  of  her  rooms,  nor  the  privacy  of  trusted  ears.  The  youngest  Baratheon  was  certainly  not  counted  among  them.  She  took  a  step  back,  finger  tapping  against  the  wood  grain  of  the  bow  as  she  watched  the  girl  fire,  giving  an  appreciative  nod.  Close  enough  that  she  tilted  head,  auburn  curls  falling  over  shoulder  as  she  considered  it.  "You  make  a  tempting  argument,  my  lady.  But  I  am  not  dressed  for  the  occasion.  No,  I  think  I  would  much  rather  sit  from  the  sidelines  and  judge.  Though  I  do  thank  you  for  the  demonstration.  It's  so  nice  to  know  my  coin  will  not  be  squandered,  betting  on  you. Perhaps,  after  the  celebrations,  we  could  meet  back  here.  By  next  celebration,  I  am  sure  I  could  be  ready."

tyana  took  a  step  back,  watching  gysella's  form.  eyes  trained  on  stance,  on  arm  drawing  back,  on  the  breath  taken  before  release.  her  gaze  only  drew  to  the  target  later,  soft  laughter  falling  at  the  spot  hit.  "you  sold  yourself  short!  nothing  about  that  was  rusty."  though  a  brow  did  raise  then.  "unless  you  meant  you  are  rusty  from  always  hitting  bullseye."  another  laugh  fell,  a  smile  stretched  across  her  face  even  as  she  raised  her  bow.  she  waited  a  moment,  sharpened  gaze  on  the  bullseye,  adjusting  aim  along  the  gentle  breeze  kissing  her  skin.  in  the  next  breath,  she  released,  smile  widening  before  the  arrow  even  struck  its  target  ---  even  if  it  was  an  inch  to  the  right  of  the  bullseye.  "try  again,  my  lady.  it  may  be  worth  entering,  just  to  show  your  attempts  are  as  worthy  as  any  other's."

incorrect quotes + tyana & aemond

tyana (about helaena): i hug who i want to! i hug who i love. (...) because i care about her. morning, noon and night, i care about her.

[steelfyre]

❝  lord  and  lady  tyrell  have  been splendid hosts thus far. i have no doubt whatever they have planned next will be lovely ❞   unless their good fortunate had reached its end - surely the case if the tyrells expected them to wander aimlessly about for the rest of their stay.  ❝  wasn't there one at the festival? or are you seeking redemption, my lady? ❞

"i'm  certain  they  have  more  plans  in  mind  before  they  send  us  all  home."  bright  eyes  shone  as  tyana  imagined  another  ball,  another  feast,  another  night  of  joy.  and  yet  ---  she  hoped  it  would  bring  none  of  the  worry  that  the  joust  and  the  end  of  the  ball  delivered  to  her  heart.  "what  i  really  wish  for is  another  contest  of  sorts.  i  want  another  chance  to  beat  the  elders  at  archery."
