Farewell kiss

[canisalbus]

AU where there is some sort of zombie-like (maybe something like a rabid vampirism?)

Where one of the boys is bit/infected and desperately wants the other to join them, while also wanting to resist?

i think the biggest misunderstanding concerning alicent's characterization is the misinterpretation of 1x06 as the "beginning" of something for alicent. it is, in some sense, a beginning, but it is more the beginning of the end. specifically, 1x06 is when alicent's disillusionment when the green dress begins (i.e., is it the beginning of the end of this version of alicent that never really represented alicent's actual feelings to begin with). we see in the first frame alicent is introduced in 1x06, her dress is being tailored; this suggests that the idea behind the green dress is something that requires constant upkeep and maintenance on alicent's part. by the end of the episode, we understand that alicent struggles with enforcing the ideals of the green dress upon her children and rhaenyra when she basically has a panic attack in the hallway after speaking with viserys and lionel. this comes to a head at the very end of 1x06 when alicent clearly regrets larys killing harwin. this is the first time that wearing the green dress has had a tangible negative impact on rhaenyra beyond their juvenile interpersonal conflict. again, in 1x07 when alicent cuts rhaenyra, she is deeply regretful; otto has to go to alicent and actively manipulate her into believing that she has done the right thing. by 1x08, alicent believes rhaenyra should be queen, and she only crowns aegon in 1x09 because she's been groomed into believing aegon is her life's purpose. season 2 is about alicent learning the truth and being put into a position where she can actually think for herself without the influence of the men that abused her. and all of this started in 1x06. there was never really any time during this story that alicent hated rhaenyra, or when alicent didn't love rhaenyra. if the writers wanted to show us that period of time, they wouldn't have done the time jump as they did. the writers are literally telling us that alicent always loved rhaenyra, and that's what we as viewers should be focusing on.

Please tell me about art and media you know of that accurately captures the weirdness of dream logic and atmosphere and emotions... books and movies and video games and art and comics and YouTube stuff, whatever you want... you know, where it only makes sense on an intuitive level and falls apart when you try to explain it...

Feathers Across the Seasons

[selliho6530]

I want to see a fanfiction where Jayce, after all the shit he saw, moves not back to his universe, but to the past, to season 1, where he meets Viktor in their laboratory and kills him...

One fanfiction started like that, but everything slipped into the usual gay fuck, which of course I don't mind, but the beginning was too promising...

Went for a walk but instead of touching grass I started thinking of phones and man I'm so fucking Curious and Hyped to see the Roger route especially to see how different he is from his counterpart in DSaF.

After all, in that universe it really seems that the only thing that made Roger get his shit together after his wife left him and he dropped off med school and shit was fucking Dying and getting to now be Someone Else (see: Scott) but now everyone is already a phone so that possibility is off the table which makes me wonder, is this Roger just not miserable or is there a brand new thing that he found to get his life relatively together?

Lost 3.20 | The Man Behind the Curtain

[distinguished-slacker]

I wish for an OnS antagonist that is an asshole full stop. No tragic backstory. No “I was also…” past. No “it’s for my loved one” goals. Just a big, arrogant asshole who does evil just because.

'Yes, that old oak with which I saw eye to eye was here in this forest,' thought Prince Andrei. 'But whereabouts?' he wondered again, looking at the left side of the road and, without realizing, without recognizing it, admiring the very oak he sought. The old oak, quite transfigured, spread out a canopy of dark, sappy green, and seemed to swoon and sway in the rays of the evening sun. There was nothing to be seen now of knotted fingers and scars, of old doubts and sorrows. Through the rough, century-old bark, even where there were no twigs, leaves had sprouted, so juicy, so young that it was hard to believe that aged veteran had borne them.

'Yes, it is the same oak,' thought Prince Andrei, and all at once he was seized by an irrational, spring-like feeling of joy and renewal. All the best moments of his life of a sudden rose to his memory. Austerlitz, with that lofty sky, the reproachful look on his dead wife's face, Pierre at the ferry, that girl thrilled by the beauty of the night, and that night itself and the moon and ... everything suddenly crowded back into his mind.

'No, life is not over at thirty-one,' Prince Andrei decided all at once, finally and irrevocably. 'It is not enough for me to know what I have in me- everyone else must know it too: Pierre, and that young girl who wanted to fly away into the sky; all of them must learn to know me, in order that my life may not be lived for myself alone.

From War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy

probably my most favorite take is that rhaegar suffered from the same “madness” as his father & brother, aka a family history of schizophrenia and my evidence is i know what someone on a delusions of grandeur bent looks like lmao, and someone becoming convinced that their bloodline is the key to saving the world, then getting fixated on someone else they love/admire as also being the key to saving the world, is like, textbook delusional. i’ve always thought rhaegar (and dany & viserys, by extension as the last dragons, inheriting the legacy from their older family members) was a great way of exploring that concept of “are you really crazy if they’re actually out to get you” bc these prophecies definitely exist! some magical portend IS out to get them but unfortunately all it did was make them absolutely crazy!

at the end of the day church and tex are pygmalion and galatea and we just have to accept that. like the story of the sculptor who fell in love with his own art

bc she really is just his own creation that he loves and wants to love him back and wants to be whole but she’s.. not. she’ll never be anything outside of him, she’d never exist if it weren’t for his imagination (since she isn’t truly allison she is his concocted version of her) and because of that she can’t be human

he loves her as some fucked of version of loving himself (he loves who he was when he was with her and loves that he created her and that she is wholly his)

the difference is that alpha is no god, no aphrodite, and he cannot create life, he can only fragment himself which is why they do not get the happy ending of pygmalion and galatea, they instead are doomed to repeat and echo the agonies of the people they mimic
