#vale hart

[affableanthropologist]

Tonight we played the final session of our Light of Xaryxis game.

My poor Vale ended up doing the equivalent of throwing the One Ring into Mount Doom: except in this scenario, he needed to throw himself in with it.

The rest of the party got away, and it was overall a bittersweet ending, but we definitely ugly cried in the aftermath. If we return to this group one day I'll probably play Vale's sister Robin, who is an NPC I've grown very attached to and who the DM said it would be fine to play.

No matter how good an ending it was though, I had really hoped my sweet boy would make it out and get a nice life with his polycule. <3 But it was not to be.

At least now he gets to have a peaceful afterlife in Selune's realm, forever watching the stars.

More wtnv doodles :). This time Lauren Mallard and Leann Hart because I love women.

Alright, so with Round 3 starting tomorrow, and our 32 Johns are narrowed down to 8 (Gaius, Hart, Watson, Sheppard, Peters You Know The Farmer?, Constantine, Wick, and Doe). Because of the narrowed playing field, and because I think it will be fun, I am asking you all to please submit your Johnpaganda! Reblog it on this post or the polls themselves or send it in asks to the blog! Convince people to vote for your John based on their merits and not just the fact that maybe you’ve heard of their name once >:3

William S. Hart and Vola Vale in White Oak

[creepy-onthebutt]

Tee hee is your user a nightvale reference?

Yes, yes it is! Night vale was my first ever podcast obsession and this was originally a night vale side blog! I think you're the first person to ever actually catch the reference that I'm aware of!

[syndrossi]

Does Allard ever face any consequences for covering up Ser Thoren’s murder? His squire was a Massey, yes ? That seems like a pretty big deal to just brush under the rug. It could be the factor that helps Jon become lord of Runestone, due to Allard’s status as a legitimized bastard and his apparent lack of honour (due to the murder coverup and how it is practically treason)…

The disappearance of Ser Thoren and his squire has not quite been noticed yet by their respective houses. They were murdered about 5 weeks ago, which is roughly how long it would have taken them to reach Castle Harte from the Eyrie. After a few more weeks without word, Lord Harte will probably begin sending ravens to look into.

(Obviously Rhaenyra knows about their murder. She hasn't told Daemon, as she kept her letter to him stripped to the absolute basics, but the contents of the letter and its origin/writer will be subject to some serious scrutiny as well.)

Fun fact: Allard actually was not involved in the cover-up! The murder was purely Crayne going rogue, because it would have led to the boys being taken from the Gates of the Moon before he could snatch them himself. He was bluffing when he challenged Jon to tell Allard, which worked because of Jon's low opinion/suspicions about their cousin.

That said, he very well may face consequences for it regardless, because it certainly was convenient for him and perpetuated House Royce's deception. A full investigation into the depths of House Royce's treason has yet to begin, but it will likely be spearheaded by House Arryn on behalf of the Vale...with the aid of Otto Hightower, who is being sent to deal with the matter, per the small council decision in chapter 21.

Hart siblings. <3

Vale Hart (left) was my character in our Spelljammer campaign. He was created from scavenged pieces of different creatures- an elven washerwoman, a dragonborn knight, a human, a deer, a dryad- by a person he knew only as Flower. She left very soon after his creation.

Months later, he and his party found Flower (aka Dr Viella) out in Doomspace. By then, he knew that she had personally killed the people whose body parts he inherited. He refused to talk to her (especially when she only called him 'Subject 12' and talked about him as a curiosity more than a person), until he learned that he had a sister- Viella's most recent experiment, Subject 36.

As a player, I hadn't known about Subject 36, and was so excited to meet her! Much like Vale she was a patchwork of different beings. She was a great artist, and dreamed of going out into the universe and finding more beautiful things to draw. However, Viella would never let this happen. Vale could see that his sister was only an experiment to their creator, but the plan to kill Viella was complicated by needing to get Subject 36 out of the way. She didn't know the truth and, since Vale discovering his origin had destroyed his sense of identity and plunged him into a depression, he thought it would be better for Subject 36 to never find out what a despicable person Viella was.

Vale and Subject 36 quickly bonded, in spite of Viella constantly chiding Vale for 'interfering with the experiment.' Eventually, after Viella's destruction, Subject 36 chose a name for herself: Robin Hart, now sharing her brother's surname.

At the end of the adventure, Vale gave up his life to save the others (and multiple planets....nbd!), and his last thoughts were of Robin. My DM narrated a little epilogue, where the party carried out Vale's promise to find new homes for some displaced species, and Robin lived on Toril for a while. Eventually though she felt the call of the stars, and joined the crew in their space adventures!

While I was sad to lose Vale (READ: I cried for half an hour after the session), I love Robin a lot. She was an important NPC to me and my character, and that last note about her joining the crew felt too perfect. My DM agreed to let me play her as my PC when we resume gaming in that world later this year.

I'm excited to be able to continue with the Hart siblings. I had originally planned to make Robin a bard, but since it's a one-on-one campaign playing a support character could feel a bit meh. So now I'm thinking she'll be a wizard, using her paintbrush as her spellcasting focus and painting her spells.

Queen Daenaera Velaryon's Mermaid Crown

Daenaera is the daughter of the Lord Daeron Velaryon, who fought for both Queen Rhaenyra I and King Aegon III Targaryen.

It is obvious her family is Team Black no matter what antis want to say, and the marriage of Aegon and Daenaera was the best choice for him both as a political alliance and as a match.

Daenaera brought House Velaryon back to the royal family; her father Daeron Velaryon fought for Rhaenyra and for Aegon III Targaryen and his wife Hazel Harte and him seemed to have had a good relationship with Baela and Rhaena in order to entrust their daughter to them in case something happened to them (and sadly it did, my poor baby girl became an orphan at six years old 🥺).

After all the strife that happened to both House Targaryen and House Velaryon, Daenaera and Aegon met and wed each other.

Queen Rhaenyra I Targaryen had made a deal with House Velaryon that there would be Velaryon blood in the Iron Throne one way or another, and here it was the chance to fulfill that agreement after all the fighting that had make it seem there would not be another Targaryen - Velaryon union.

Daenaera was a queen who had given everyone hope even if she herself struggled with it at times, her queenship represented hope.

It is likely Daenaera died from the same illness of Aegon III as she dedicated herself to take care of him (because she loved him).

Daenaera had to wear a crown that represented a new beginning and to be the symbol of peace and freshness, and to emphasize how House Velaryon was as godly as House Targaryen.

Daenaera wearing a mermaid-like crown would be perfect for her and her legacy.

...

If her son Daeron the Young Dragon had lived and married a maiden from Volantis as it is presumed, then she would have worn Daenaera's crown.

And this is surely the same crown her daughter Daena wore for the short time she was queen consort (likely a year) honoring her mother as Daena also honored her father with her black outfits signaling her love for both her parents; later on Naerys would wear the crown of her aunt Daenaera as a homage to the line of her uncle King Aegon III Targaryen as her father Viserys II Targaryen became king after Baelor died and the lords preferred him over Aegon and Daenaera's daughters (Viserys had years of experience whereas Daena, Rhaena and Elaena had been isolated) and Aegon IV and her became king and queen after Viserys II Targaryen died.

It is also possible Daenerys Targaryen The Second (the daughter of Aegon IV and Naerys) also wore it, in an attempt of showing both House Targaryen and House Velaryon were reconciling with Dorne, and therefore the crown of Queen Daenaera would be needed.

After Daenerys, the crown of Queen Daenaera probably went back to Daenaera's descendants, this time to the children of Jeyne Waters (my headcanon is that Jeyne married into House Borrell while Jon married into House Waxley, Houses from the Vale) as a tribute to Queen Daenaera and to give legitimacy to Jeyne as the bastard daughter of Alyn Velaryon and Elaena Targaryen.

In the end it was Elaena who carried on with Aegon and Daenaera's line aside from the Blackfyres, though Rhaena had a great legacy of reclaiming the Targaryen status as different from the rest of the men with her work as a Septa, Elaena deserved to have the crown of her mother who had been so far one of the most beloved queens.

...

Daenaera's legacy is still alive through the actions of all of her children - we may not like the Blackfyres, but we can't deny Daena was an icon of resistance - and has influenced the whole story of GOT

Daenaera is one of the best queens in the whole saga of books.

Happy Wednesday, here’s which Welcome to Night Vale characters I could beat it a fight (excluding any and all supernatural abilities)

I would not win a fight against Cecil Palmer. I could beat Carlos in a fight and then I would feel really bad about it. Leanne Hart would put a hatchet through my chest and kill me. I feel like I could probably take Michelle because she has the vibes of someone who can't really put her money where her mouth is- I might walk away with a chunk of hair missing, but I’d win. I could never square up against Dana she’d stare me down until I combusted on the spot like a car bomb.

[mermaidsirennikita]

Have you read historical books with the I HAVE TO TAKE CARE OF HER vibe?

Devil's Bride and Scandal's Bride by Stephanie Laurens immediately come to mind. Like, all the Cynster books are really on this because Cynsters are CONQUERORS!!!!11 but these two are especially intense. Devil is like, buying Honoria a million gowns without her asking or consenting, and she's like "why" and he's all "I AM PRACTICING FOR BEING HUSBAND???" even though she. Still. Has not. Accepted. His proposal.

Richard/Scandal is just like. Convinced that Catriona needs someone to follow her around and take care of her while she does her mystical Lady of the Vale duties. And to be fair, he is correct, because Catriona is completely insane and sees absolutely nothing wrong with hurtling herself into danger. One of my favorite little moments in the book is when they're walking on like, a wintry landscape, and she's all "I CAN DO EVERYTHING BY MYSELF I DON'T NEED YOU" and then immediately like slips on some ice and almost falls. And Laurens describes him as sort of being like "God help me" while grabbing her before she hits the ground.

Indigo by Beverly Jenkins, dude. Hester is so practical and is so determined to take care of herself, and Galen comes into her life and is like "no no no I am the captain now". His grand gesture at the end. Ugh. Just thinking about it makes me wanna cry. Such great caretaking.

Grace Callaway heroes tend to be this way, while also being paired with the battiest women on God's earth, who again will just cartwheel into danger. Olivia and The Masked Duke, Fiona and The Enigmatic Earl, and Glory and The Master of Shadows are the ones that really stand out to me on this front. (I've read like... a lot of Grace's books lol, but she also has a big backlist and I need to knock out some more soon because I love her.) The Duke Who Knew Too Much also has this vibe hard.

On a different from, How to Steal a Scoundrel's Heart has this vibe in a different way, wherein the very frosty hero who only intends to keep the heroine as his mistress, it's just business... but then she gets her period and is in bed with cramps and he's like "AWWWWW" and like curls up with her in bed to hold her and shit lol.

Lorraine Heath heroes always wanna take care of a woman lol. Shoutout to Olivia getting sick in Between the Devil and Desire and Jack Dodger having an entire conniption over it. Putting her in the ice bath, making her endure it to bring down her fever, watching her sleep in her weird little room of clocks (and calling in Graves, the Greatest Victorian Doctor of All Time) to be like "OMG HELP HER but also to be clear I have zero emotional investment in this annoying woman" while Graves, who's known Jack since childhood, is like "RIIIIIGHT SURE".

Surrender to the Devil is a great "let me take care of you" book. Sterling is another one who initially just wants a mistress, but once he realizes how traumatized and in need of tenderness Franny is, he's sooooo gentle and sweet and caring with her.

Waking Up with the Duke, of course. Shoutout to Ainsley rubbing Jayne's feet while she's like a billion months pregnant (lol me laughing and crying with it segueing to him pushing her nightgown up and her going "... I cannot sleep with you right now" only for him to respond with "I have literally never seen you BIG WITH MY CHILD, can I please just stare creepily at your pregnant belly :/". And then he kisses it. That poor man. I'd die for him.) He also puts her in a special warm pool while her back hurts??? And then she IS like "okay you can do it to me now".

The Duke's Perfect Wife by Jennifer Ashley. Like, never mind Hart giving Eleanor money without being asked while she's like "I don't want you to take care of me and my stupid father who's not good with money" and he's all "I am going to take care of you and your stupid father who's not good at money" (tucking the cash into her bodice) (in his brother's book.... god what an ALPHA movie)... He's also like such a caretaker. He's a NESTING HERO which is really a subsection of the caretaking hero. Hart wants to build Eleanor a nest lined with so much fur and feathers and random shining objects he finds on the forest floor. When she gets hurt, he's like "Eleanor!!!! We cannot Do Things while your arm is in a sling!!!!" and Eleanor is all "oh trust and believe we can". (She wins. One of the only books where he's shellacking her while her arm is in a sling.)

In Which Matilda Halifax Learns the Value of Restraint by Alexandra Vasti has this vibe to me. Because again, Matilda is crazy, and Christian is very like *SIT DOWN YOU SILLY WOMAN AND LET ME TAKE CARE OF THIS*. Fortunately, Matilda is soooo into that.

Hotel of Secrets by Diana Biller has a hero who's like, a virgin and very uptight with this much more experienced and free-spirited heroine. But like. So much of this book is her having near-death experiences and him charging in to save her. Like, not even intentionally? He's just acting on instinct. It's very dear and I love it.

The Duke Gets Even by Joanna Shupe. OBVIOUSLY. Lockwood is literally like "nobody has ever taken care of this woman and guess what I am gonna fix that RIGHT NOW". He like, forces her to get in the tub with him after. He pushes cuddling all the time. He's like forcing her to rely on him lol.

Marrying Winterborne by Lisa Kleypas, another obvious one. I think Dreaming of You gives me this vibe a lot too because Derek Craven is just like "take my Regency black card and buy yourself EVERYTHING" because Derek Craven has zero taste and he's gonna buy all of it like the new money man he is.
