“hey! wow, it’s good to see you!” viktor called out as he approached the woman down the aisle of the train car. “it’s been some time. how ya been?” he maintained a toothy grin as he took a seat beside her. he leaned in and lowered his voice to a whisper, just loud enough to not be drowned out by the noises of the grinding rails. “i hope you don’t mind, but,” he shot his eyes to the group of teens down the aisle, “those kids are up to no good, and i think you’re the target. a young lady such as yourself shouldn’t be riding BART alone this late at night.”

TG on Criston Cole: "He's not the step dad he's the Dad Who Stepped Up! 😍"

Criston Cole in F&B: Literally Humbert Humbert (or, at best, Woody Allen).

Afterward, he gave the seven-year-old Princess Rhaenyra the victor’s laurel and begged for her favor to wear in the joust.

“Ser Criston protects the princess from her enemies, but who protects the princess from Ser Criston?” *

*said at a point when Rhaenyra is the same age as Dolores Haze btw.

Among the changes to the character's ages in HOTD, it's ageing up Rhaenyra when she first meets Criston Cole that grosses me out the most. And to add insult to injury, they don't even get an older actor to play an older Criston Cole after the time jump - Emma D'arcy is actually older than Fabian Frankel.

And to those who say sympathetic jilted lover Criston Cole is more interesting... well we've heard that story before. With Jorah Mormont's depiction in GOT, for starters. And everywhere else in our culture, men like Criston Cole are afforded sympathy and fascination (it's honestly a relief that most audiences outside of tumblr thankfully hate Show Criston - pls leave the actor alone though), while their victims are depicted as seductive temptress 'nymphets'.

Look no further than JK Rowling's favourite 'tragic romance'.

(sure jk, trans women are the problem, but humbert humbert isn't?)

Book covers and film adaptations of Lolita love to age up and sexualise Dolores and completely miss the point, but Vladimir Nabokov named actress Catherine Demongeot as the most book-accurate casting. Who looks very disturbing up against the 1997 film's casting for Humbert Humbert:

She was Lo, plain Lo, in the morning, standing four feet ten in one sock.

And wouldn't you know it, Daemon returns from the Stepstones when Rhaenyra (15) is around the same age that Dolores was, when Clare Quilty convinced her to run away with him.

And when Criston proposes to Rhaenyra ahead of her upcoming marriage to Laenor, she is again the same age as Dolores (17) when Humbert tries to get her to leave her husband for him.

Obviously Rhaenyra's story is by no means directly comparable to the horrific abuse suffered by Dolores Haze, and besides we don't know precisely what happened between Rhaenyra and Criston*. But Rhaenyra was also much much younger (7) when Criston came into a position to start grooming her, and at the end of the day she was still only a 12-year-old child when rumours of a sexual relationship began. The parallels are there, and CSA is a common issue throughout GRRM's work.

It certainly wouldn't be the first time GRRM has made a reference to Lolita in ASOIAF:

You see, she had absolutely nowhere else to go.

Littlefinger and Lord Petyr looked so very much alike. She would have fled them both, perhaps, but there was nowhere for her to go.

On Septon Eustace and Mushroom

*I do find it interesting to note that of the two accounts of Rhaenyra and Criston's 'split' (by two people who weren't in the room), it is Septon Eustace's account that puts Rhaenyra in a more favourable light. Mushroom tells the more pornographic account that casts Rhaenyra as the one trying to seduce Criston. Meanwhile Septon Eustace insists that Rhaenyra was the one to refuse Criston - including arguing that if his vows as a Kingsguard mean so little to him, then why should she trust he'd honour any marriage vows?

As I often argue, interpreting F&B is far more complicated than insisting one account always tells the truth, one account always tells propaganda etc. Neither account obviously views the relationship through the lens that Rhaenyra was only 7 when they met, neither of them care to raise concerns of grooming and CSA . This is still the same world after all that thought it was perfectly acceptable for a 12-year-old Laena to marry Viserys, or for a 12-year-old Sansa to marry Tyrion. This is the world that spread rumours of Rhaenyra's lost virginity when she had barely begun puberty.

Mushroom is clearly pro-Rhaenyra, and clearly fond of her (he wants us to know for instance how good it was to hear her laugh, his account expresses the most how broken she was after Luke's death) - but he's writing his account years after her death, and most likely after departing Aegon III's court for White Harbour. His priority, as a dwarf and entertainer, is to write was sells, and salacious tales sell. Just look at the pornographic tales the slavers spread of Daenerys, or how Shae depicts Sansa as a seducer withholding sex to convince her husband to commit regicide, or the play Arya performs in that bawdily depicts Tyrion raping Sansa for the masses. Mushroom at least wasn't the one to actually come up with the Brothel Queens story** - Archmaester Gyldayn credits Aegon II with making that story up - but any loyalty Mushroom had to a long-dead woman wasn't enough to stop him including a popular story. Mushroom's gotta eat.

**to those who still insist the story is true (despite Gyldayne attributing the rumour to Aegon II), do you honestly think if the Queen and Queen Mother had actually been gang-raped there wouldn't be multiple sources verifying it and expressing outrage?

Septon Eustace meanwhile is a misogynist who hated Rhaenyra and wished to justify his allegiance to the Greens. Which is why he'll make up ridiculous stories about Rhaenyra cutting herself on the throne while wearing armour, or Sunfyre eating her in 6 bites and leaving behind one leg for the Stranger, or how Rhaenyra got fat and ugly after giving birth to 5 children. Which is why he'll have Aegon II say "what sort of brother steals his sister's birthright?" - a statement that doesn't match with the rest of his documented words and actions:

Word of Rhaenyra’s coronation reached the Red Keep the next day, to the great displeasure of Aegon II. “My half-sister and my uncle are guilty of high treason,” the young king declared. “I want them attainted, I want them arrested, and I want them dead.”*** Cooler heads on the green council wished to parley. “The princess must be made to see that her cause is hopeless,” Grand Maester Orwyle said. “Brother should not war against sister. Send me to her, that we may talk and reach an amicable accord.” Aegon would not hear of it. Septon Eustace tells us that His Grace accused the Grand Maester of disloyalty and spoke of having him thrown into a black cell “with your black friends.”

***spoken in response to Rhaenyra publicly offering him a pardon

So Eustace has a tendency to demonise and whitewash - which is what makes it interesting when he passes on the opportunity. For example, why would he refute the rumours that Rhaenyra's children are bastards? Surely that claim would have supported his case against her? Why does he give quite a positive, even glowing, account of Jacaerys? Probably because he approved of and genuinely had no issue with Jacaerys, other than that he didn't believe the throne could pass through the female line anyway. True or not, he didn't need to claim Jace as a bastard, and Jace's actions didn't fit any cultural stereotypes. Because it seems there are certain lines Septon Eustace won't cross.

So Septon Eustace has some commitment to telling the truth (some truths anyway). Which is why his own account of Aegon II often contradicts itself, as shown above.

So back to his account of Rhaenyra and Criston. Why not cast Rhaenyra a wanton seductress, trying to tempt Criston Cole away from his Kingsguard vows? Why depict Criston, a fellow Green, as an oathbreaker? Why tell us that Rhaenyra did the right thing, turning Criston down and even expressing disgust that he would abandon his vows? Because for all Septon Eustace dislikes Rhaenyra, casting her as a wanton seductress would be crossing a line. He doesn't need it to be against female succession - her great sin is being a woman who doesn't gracefully abdicate in favour of her brother, and that's enough.

And because his account is probably closer to what happened. While he wasn't in the room, no more than Mushroom was, he was in a position to hear about it from Criston. As a fellow Green, and above all as a Septon. Someone who Criston might confess to. And it is Septon Eustace's account that tells us Criston Cole was the one to slit Lord Beesbury's throat. While he may try (sometimes anyway) to sanitise Aegon II, he makes no such effort with Criston Cole. If you wanted to legitimise your support for the Greens but were unable deny their crimes, it makes sense to allow someone to be the villain.

And supposing Criston did confess, he probably would have displayed the same delusional self-pity and self-justification as Humbert Humbert. And Septon Eustace, just like everyone else in Westeros, certainly wouldn't have considered Rhaenyra a possible victim of grooming and CSA.

Just look at Catherine Howard as a historical example. When she was 13 she was molested by her music tutor, Henry Mannox:

“At the flattering and fair persuasions of Mannox, being but a young girl, I suffered him at sundry times to handle and touch the secret parts of my body, which neither became me with honesty to permit nor him to require.”

This 'affair' was used as evidence against her in her trial for adultery and subsequent execution.

The Princess and her White Knight

Again, we don't know what precisely happened between Rhaenyra and Criston. We don't know if their relationship is comparable to Catherine Howard and Henry Mannox, or if it escalated anywhere close to the horrors of Dolores Haze and Humbert Humbert. Or if anything actually happened at all, or maybe at least not till Rhaenyra was older. Maybe their relationship is more comparable to Soon-Yi Previn and Woody Allen, who had been her stepfather since she was 10.

We have snatches of the truth from Eustace and Mushroom, we have what we can determine of their access to the truth and their motives for telling their accounts the way they do. We have Rhaenyra's young age, Criston's constant access to her, the timing of the rumours, her later relationships with older men, the violent hatred Criston has towards her after she rejects him. We have the fact that CSA is a common reoccurrence in GRRM's work - Daenerys and Jorah, Sansa and Littlefinger, Jeyne and Ramsay, Tyrion and Tywin, Aeron and Euron. We have the salacious stories that are already spreading of victims like Daenerys and Sansa, and we can speculate how future maesters and septons and fools might write about them, the way they write about Rhaenyra.

Whatever happened, my understanding is that Rhaenyra was a child in a court that her stepmother was actively making a hostile environment for her. Who had to deal with the beginnings of puberty in this environment, where adults were already speculating on her sexuality, on top of all the other scrutiny she would face as heir. Yes she had a father who doted on her, but when it came to Alicent he always refused to take sides, he always tried to placate and please and keep the peace. Yes he was steadfast in his decision to keep Rhaenyra his heir, but he did nothing to reprimand Alicent, he allowed this hostile environment to flourish, leaving his barely pubescent daughter to deal with it on her own. Alicent even publicly quips about Rhaenyra's relationship with Criston Cole, and she gets away with it.

Daemon does not return from the Stepstones till after the 5th anniversary tournament Viserys throws for Alicent, when Rhaenyra is 14/15. Before then, Rhaenyra's main confidant, probably her only confident on the subject of Alicent, was her sworn shield and constant shadow Criston Cole. Whatever happened between them, she was young and emotionally vulnerable. And lonely. Yes she had a party of supporters at court - but what is that to a child? She needed a parent to confide in, and when it came to Alicent her own father could not be that parent.

We know Rhaenyra was a precocious child, 'bright and bold' and proud. But we also know that beneath that she was anxious - she was known to compulsively fidget with the rings on her fingers out of anxiety. What kid in her situation wouldn't be anxious? Just when did this compulsive habit begin? Rhaenyra may not have been in anywhere near as vulnerable a situation as Dany, but she was still a vulnerable kid. And so Criston would have been important to her.

He wants me, she realized. He loves me as he loved her, not as a knight loves his queen but as a man loves a woman. She tried to imagine herself in Ser Jorah’s arms, kissing him, pleasuring him, letting him enter her. It was no good. 

It was a long kiss, though how long Dany could not have said. When it ended, Ser Jorah let go of her, and she took a quick step backward. “You … you should not have …”

My great bear, Dany thought. I am his queen, but I will always be his cub as well, and he will always guard me. It made her feel safe, but sad as well. She wished she could love him better than she did.

My bear, my fierce strong bear, what will I do without him?

My bear, she thought, my old sweet bear, who loved me and betrayed me. She had missed him so. She wanted to see his ugly face, to wrap her arms around him and press herself against his chest.

We don't know how much or in what way Criston took advantage of Rhaenyra's dependence on him, or how 'receptive' Rhaenyra might have been (friendly reminder that no matter how 'receptive' she might have been, it's still CSA). Again, it may be that nothing physically happened at all until Rhaenyra was 17 (after 10 years of grooming of course). Whatever happened, we can certainly imagine that Rhaenyra was devastated to lose him, and to Alicent of all people. He had been her confidant and her champion, he had been at her side since she was 7 years old, not long before losing her mother (who was the same age as Criston btw).

My understanding of Criston meanwhile is that he genuinely adored her for those 10 years as her sworn shield. That he was passionately protective of her, fiercely devoted to her, and possessive. Much like Jorah with Dany. Maybe, like Jorah, he tried to kiss her. Maybe much worse happened, and he deluded himself as many abusers do that theirs was a misunderstood romance. Maybe he never touched her at all, but fantasised about it. Maybe he convinced himself that he was a man of honour, maybe he spent those years waiting till Rhaenyra was older, by her side the entire time (cough, grooming).

Whatever happened, he was enraged that 10 years of grooming were ultimately unrewarded. He probably, deludedly, cast her just as cruel and selfish and ungrateful as Humbert Humbert did Dolores Haze.

Despite our tiffs, despite her nastiness, despite all the fuss and faces she made, and the vulgarity, and the danger, and the horrible hopelessness of it all, I still dwelled deep in my elected paradise - a paradise whose skies were the color of hell-flames - but still a paradise.

There is nothing more atrociously cruel than an adored child.

But I was weak, I was not wise, my schoolgirl nymphet had me in thrall. With the human element dwindling, the passion, the tenderness, and the torture only increased; and of this she took advantage.

Don't you love living in a world where multiple think pieces debate whether or not Rhaenyra abused Criston Cole? (Also a world where a book like Lo's Diary gets published...)

If there is any truth to Septon Eustace's account that Criston wanted to elope with her to Essos, then I can imagine that he wanted to possess Rhaenyra entirely for himself (however romantic he may have believed his motives). The 'black fury' that descends on him during the wedding tourney certainly tells us he is violently jealous to see Rhaenyra begin a relationship with Harwin. He probably stewed in fury while Rhaenyra's attention was on Daemon (maybe hypocritically casting him as the villain the way Humbert Humbert does Clare Quilty), celebrated when Daemon was banished, and grew desperately possessive at the thought of losing his exclusive access to her again. Much like Jorah:

“You have been a better friend to me than any I have known, a better brother than Viserys ever was. You are the first of my Queensguard, the commander of my army, my most valued counselor, my good right hand. I honor and respect and cherish you—but I do not desire you, Jorah Mormont, and I am weary of your trying to push every other man in the world away from me, so I must needs rely on you and you alone. It will not serve, and it will not make me love you any better.”

I can't believe I'm giving Jorah Mormont credit here, but at least he doesn't respond to rejection with violent hatred of Dany. Or at least, he hasn't yet.

Now Rhaenyra's relationship with Daemon is another matter, and will require another essay. In sum, there is a broad spectrum between 'pedophile' and 'healthy relationship', and when I say Daemon's relationship with Rhaenyra is healthier than her relationship with Criston I have to admit the bar is very low indeed. Though I do take into consideration GRRM's description of Daemon as a grey character, 'equal parts light and dark'. Anyone is at liberty to declare death of the author and interpret Daemon as they see fit, but authorial intent (however fallible you may consider it) is not irrelevant. That authorial intent is the foundation upon which the characters, relationships, events, themes etc is built.

Ultimately, Daemon was not in Rhaenyra's life between the ages of 8 and 15 - he was in a relationship with an adult Mysaria, and then he was off to the Stepstones until Viserys and Alicent's 5th anniversary tourney. This isn't to endorse whatever may have happened in the 6 months Daemon was in King's Landing before his banishment - however you interpret his actions and motives. But simply to say that when it comes to grooming and abusing pre-pubescent to early-pubescent girls (oh this has been a disturbing essay to write) - Criston wins the "Creepy Even By Child Brideros Standards" Award.

So... is Criston the Step-Dad Who Stepped Up? Sure, if your Step-Dad is Humbert Humbert or Woody Allen.

"You and I are quite alike, you know." James muses, tongue lazily tutting against the roof of his mouth. Eyes turn slowly to look at Victor, admiring him for a moment. He really is a work of art. It's making the whole situation so much more f u n. It wouldn't be half as entertaining if Sherlock's long lost love had been ugly. Victor, however, he's sexy - He adds an element of drama to the game and Jim thrives on it.

"I fell in love with a man when I was in university too." A pause, the words falling out as easily as if he's talking about the weather. "Except that I killed him when he didn't return the affection." Eyes glint, mischievous. "Although, there's still time for you yet. You could lose the plot and finish Holmes off for me. It'd be quite the ending - something akin to a Shakespearean tragedy."

I’m 21/f looking for an +18 long term rp partner (preferably in their early 20's maybe, but I'm not too picky) interested in writing as Sabretooth/Victor Creed from the X-Men against my female oc (mxf) 👉👈🥺

I’ve been rping for many years so I’m pretty experienced, I’m also totally down to double up on a character for your oc if you would like, but it totally depends on the character tho. Preferably another X-Men because I’m the most familiar with those comics/ stories/ characters out of all of Marvel. Both rps would be taking place at the same time/ same universe because that's a lot of fun to write.

I already will have a starter all set and ready to go along with plot ideas.

Because I’ve been rping for so long I have developed a literate/novella writing style that’s usually at least 1 or 2 paragraphs long so it doesn’t get boring and I’d like a partner with a similar writing style. I respond pretty quickly too, multiple times a day if I’m able so please be able to respond somewhat quickly. Try not to leave me hanging and let me know when you aren’t able to respond/ are busy.

I also want this to be a long term rp too

Please be +18 because I do want to explore NSFW topics and other possibly triggering topics.(not interested in any fade to black sorta thing lol)

I’m eager to be friends too and we can talk about our ocs, our favorite characters, possible plot ideas and other shit too!! I’m an open book, we can talk about anything and everything.

I do all of my rps over Discord too on a very organized server.

If you are interested please like or just interact with the post and I’ll reach out and give you my discord!! 🖤 also ps, i won't be reaching out from this blog, i will be reaching out from my main blog thnx

Summary: Victor and Y/M are in an arranged marriage, but the thing is, the two are bitter enemies (reason can very as to why they are enemies.) Victor is seeing someone else on the side, since the two are not yet married.

Gimme angst! Drama! Two people that probably shouldn't be together but maybe they grow to love each other???? Maybe????? I'm open to plotting!

"I do not want to speak about this." The man leaned his head against his chair. The drink in his hand was quickly discarded after a quick gulp. "I don't understand why you insist on us spending time together, when you clearly cannot stand the sight of me."

@bxtsence said: “You don’t need to tell me everything. I just want to know how I can help.”

(noticing trauma starters - open)

Salvatore's skin was on fire. That was the only way he could explain the itching, burning sensation dancing across his body. It had to be on fire, and he had to be slowly melting from its agonizing touch. He couldn't see or smell or hear the flames, but they had to be there. They had to.

Reality, though, wasn't that simple. There was no fire.

Salvatore was curled up in a defensive ball under a table, his claws digging painfully into his arms as he stared into space. There was no blood left in him to spill, but still he heard it roaring in his ears.

It took a few seconds for him to realize that Rowan was there, kneeling by the table and watching him. When he did, Salvatore startled, rearing back and bashing his head against the wall behind him in his haste to escape. Immediately, he cursed, one hand going to the back of his head as he stared at Rowan. He was trying to glare, but there was no anger in the expression.

"F... fuck you," he spat weakly. He swallowed. "Don't sneak up on a guy like that, asshole." Rowan hadn't been trying to sneak up on him, sure, but he was startled nonetheless.

Soon, though, Rowan was speaking, sounding actually concerned for him. What a fucking joke, someone worrying about Salvatore. He wasn't meant for that, and he fucking knew it. If Rowan was checking after him, it was out of pity at best, he was sure. Despite himself, Salvatore bristled and bared his teeth, the grimace of a frightened animal.

"You can help by not fuckin' crowdin' me," Salvatore growled. "I-I feel like I'm fuckin' trapped in here, fuckin' caged in, like in th-" Like in the warehouse. Like in the basement. But Rowan didn't know about that, unless Dio spilled the beans. And Salvatore couldn't bring himself to explain.

The anger drained from his expression, and for a moment he just looked miserable. Then, he hid his face in his folded arms, curling in on himself. Victor never liked it when he did that, always mocking him for not being enough of a man to fucking take it, but he couldn't find it in himself to care about that then.

"Thanks," he said bitterly, "for tryin', I-I appreciate it, but there ain't shit you can do for me." He sighed. "... If you wanna go, go ahead, but..." A pause. "... Please don't lock the door behind you." Oh how he hated how small his voice sounded there.

@sixfallenlosers liked the starter call.

“Jesus- this is annoying.” Was the only thing the boy had said after fifteen minutes of sitting on this one rock.

He was honestly so bored, being left to his own devices sucked, in his opinion- without anyone to chat with, it’s just... lonely.

He picked up a pebble, and throw it towards a nearby wall, pouting.

He wondered if anyone was nearby.

Sentence starter for Yuri on Ice!!

“You guys are so cold! Get off me right now!” With lee Yuri and lers Viktor and Chris. Just rewatched it too and that part made me think of tickles. 💖

Hope you’re doing better and take your time 💖

Sorry this took a bit to get to! Enjoy!

“You guys are so cold!” Yuri shrieked, squirming underneath the weight of his coach Victor and one of their competitive skater friends, Christophe. They’d just returned from the pool out in this freezing weather, which meant both of them were now freezing as well. “Get off me right now!”

“But you’re warm, Yuri~” Victor replied cheerily, only snuggling closer to him. “Why are you in bed already? The night is young!”

Chris snuggled up close, too, sneaking his hands under Yuri’s t-shirt to squeeze his warm, bare sides with his freezing fingertips. “Yes, you’re very warm, Yuri. Won’t you warm us up?” His words were teasing and perhaps mildly seductive, but none of that mattered because Yuri was suddenly a mess of giggles on the bed underneath the two of them.

“W-Wahahahahait! Don’t! G-Gehehehet off!” he pleaded, squirming even more now.

Victor beamed at him. “What’s so funny? I want in on the joke!”

Chris – knowing exactly what he was doing – smirked and squeezed his sides again, unleashing a fresh round of yelping, crazed giggles from their poor friend. “Uh-oh~ Victor, I think your protégé is a little ticklish. Aren’t you, Yuri?”

Yuri bucked his hips when those squeezing fingers dug into his belly as well this time. Blushing furiously under their knowing (Chris) and curious (Victor) gazes, he tried desperately pushing those hands away from his sensitive sides. “Y-You’re both too cold! Get off of me! A-At least warm up f-fihihihirst! No, Vihihihihictor, no!”

Victor had been inspired and was now scribbling gently along his ribs, leaning down to nuzzle the crook of his neck at the same time. “Aw, you’re adorable when you’re giggling like that, Yuri! I want to hear more~”

“Nohohohoho! Wait! Plehehehehease, I cahahahan’t stand it – Chrihihihis, no!” Yuri begged, giggles turning to laughter when the risqué skater began digging persistently into his sides and belly, not letting up after a few moments like he had before. Yuri was blushing so hard he was sure he looked like a cherry blossom, but he was feeling far too vulnerable and ticklish to care about that. He flailed his arms, but soon Chris grabbed one and Victor the other, each of them pinning one and going to town on the rest of his exposed body, tickling him mercilessly, drawing out helpless laughter from the usually quiet man.

“You’re adorable, Yuri~” Victor said lovingly, kissing his cheek briefly. “I want to make you laugh every single day.”

“Don’t steal him all to yourself, Victor,” Chris pouted playfully. “I want some, too.”

Victor smirked at him. “Sorry, Christophe. Yuri is all mine~”

Yuri, for his part, merely continued to laugh and plead for mercy, squirming under their relentless tickles, flustered and embarrassed but also secretly enjoying the attention from Victor especially.

He’d forgotten all about being cold.
