to me one of grrm's biggest screw-ups is not letting gaemon and jaehaera grow into adulthood, because the dynamics those two could have with aegon lend themselves to so much.
you're aegon iii and you're forced to marry the daughter of the man who killed your mother and your brothers. her only friend is her dragon and you hate dragons because one killed your mother in front of you and two others killed your brothers. she hates you and would kill you if that didn't mean her own demise. your best friend is also a son of aegon ii, but he hates him too, as he is responsible for the death of his mothers, he was a pretender, he is a nice kid who wants to help people just like you. he's the only one that understands you.
you're jaehaera, your father won the war, but you're forced to become the wife of the son of the man who killed your twin, the woman who put a bounty on your other brother's head and who drove your mother to suicide. your grandmother, the only family you have left, is crazy with grief, she wants you to kill aegon. you're just a child. your dragon is a wretched delicate thing, just like you, your husband hates it. he is afraid of it, it makes you happy. your only brother (if he is your brother) doesn't like you, he spends all his time with aegon, you try to bond with him, but he is not jaehaerys. he will never be.
you're gaemon, son of a whore, bastard of a king. you were the hope of the smallfolk, a path for liberation, but the royals came and they killed your moms. now you're their pet, their tool to avoid being poisoned. you love aegon, he shares the same wounds as you, but you resent him, he is using your body, your life, that's what you smallfolk are for the royals, just pawns in their little games. maybe you're tired of it. then viserys comes back and you're discarded, not longer a friend, but just a tool. jaehaera claims she's your sister, but she isn't, aegon is nothing to you, she creeps you out, she understands what being a hostage is.
#i am in my jaehaera and gaemon brainrot era#i also have other ideas in this au#a very crazy alicent survives for a couple decades more and she basically raises baelor which explains him#it also explains why daeron the young dragon is called that#if someone knows a fanfic like this please drop in comments#asoaif au#a song of ice and fire#asoiaf#valyrianscrolls#house of the dragon#house targaryen#aegon iii targaryen#i literally dont care for daenera as a concep i dont have a problem with her i just think jaehaera would have been a more complex history#jaehaera targaryen#gaemon palehair

The idea that uni protesters are "elitist ivy-league rich kids larping as revolutionaries" on Twitter and Reddit and even here is so fucking funny to me if you actually know anything about the student bodies at these unis. Take it from someone who's going to one of the biggest private unis in the US, 80% of the peers I know are either from the suburbs or an apartment somewhere in America, children of immigrants, or here on a student visa. I've heard about one-percenter students, but I've never met one in person. Like, don't get me wrong, the institution as a whole is still very privileged and white. I've talked with friends and classmates about feeling weird or dissonant being here and coming from such a different background. But in my art program, I see BIPOC, disabled, queer, lower-income students and faculty trying to deconstruct and tear that down and make space every day. So to take a cursory glance at a crowd of student protesters in coalitions that are led by BIPOC & 1st/2nd-gen immigrant students and HQ'd in ethnic housings and student organizations and say, "ah. children of the elite." Get real.
#also idk how to tell you this but even if it were true. wealthy children potentially sacrificing their educational careers to protest is#a good thing actually. idk how to tell you that caring about people from other nations is good#personal#“this war has nothing to do with most students cuz nobody's getting drafted” idk how to explain to you that we should be angry#that our tuitions of 10s of thousands of dollars that we pay every year for an education is being used to fund a genocidal campaign#also the implication that if you go to a uni institution you are automatically privileged by participation no matter your bg#i didn't /want/ to go to this school. i was supposed to go to a school with an art/animation program. but i realized my immigrant#parents have been working their whole lives to get me here. and turning the opportunity down would be a disservice to their sacrifice#this is getting into convos of “what 2nd gen kids owe their parents” which is different for everyone but. yeah#i just get pissed off at seeing people misrepresenting student bodies as “wealthy” and “privileged” and “elite” when it's such a blatant li#i remember a year ago a friend told me they can't fly home to hong kong for winter break because the plane tickets are too expensive#so they have to find temporary housing around the area#last quarter for a film doc class my film partner made a doc on a small group of marxist grad students from india discussing praxis#during a rally a few months ago in response to police presence the coalition invited palestinian students to speak about their experiences#and lead songs and read poems they wrote. these are STUDENTS. are they elitist too?#this is not to disregard my own personal privilege either.#this whole narrative's just to rationalize a lack of empathy to me. seeing a 19yo student get shot by a rubber bullet and your first#reaction is “HAW! HAW! bet richy rich didn't see THAT coming when she put on her terrorist hood!”#newsflash. these big uni campuses are HAUNTED by the violence of past protests and revolutions and police brutality. we know.#why do you think these coalitions have been making reinforced barricades at record speed

Circe’s PowerPoint presentation
#Eoic the musical#Manwhore au#Epic the musical Circe#Epic the musical Odysseus#Epic the musical Zeus#suggestive#Now I’m thinking about other songs as PowerPoint presentations .#Poseidon with a 600 slide PowerPoint on why ruthlessness is mercy upon ourselves#and 557 are just pictures of newly dead creamates he just killed#Polites has a PowerPoint presentation about greeting the world with open arms that turns into a PowerPoint on the nature of guilt#(guest speakers Anticlea and Eurylochus)#Athena has a PowerPoint presentation entitled ‘you dun goofed’ about all the ways in which Odysseus fucked up . This is later used by Zeus#to explain to the other gods why Odysseus shouldn’t get home . All of god games is just different PowerPoint presentations in rapid#succession . Tiresias and Hermes explaining what’s going to happen to Odysseus via PowerPoint presentation (honestly would’ve saved him a#lot of trouble in Tiresias’s case I feel) but now I’m rambling

I saw this awesome fanart by @/sidetrek and was feeling crazy. And then it reminded me of this scene existing and I felt even crazier. Because what did they mean by this. What did they mean by this. What did they mean by thj
#just got off 9hr shift so I cant explain how that art is connected to this scene but it is. trust.#allegedly Nimoy wrote this song himself for this scene which like ok whatever theater kid. but What did you Mean by This#WHY IS HE SINGING IT LIKE HE IS AS THE WOMAN. men in their velvet prime and then the cut to Jim. what the hell ever#spirk#star trek tos#I mean this scene is also iconic because of the taint shot. anyway I hate this show it sucks (real)

Learn from who? Learn from you? You are still a brat. What do you know? You're only three years older. Like you are any better than me. You're 21, and still a virgin. What are you proud of? I think you can't do it.
KISEKI: DEAR TO ME Ep. 06
#kiseki: dear to me#kisekiedit#kdtm#kiseki dear to me#ai di x chen yi#chen yi x ai di#nat chen#chen bowen#louis chiang#chiang tien#jiang dian#userspring#uservid#userspicy#userrain#pdribs#userjjessi#*cajedit#*gif#*gestures at the caption* this is honestly the funniest argument they could possibly have idfk what to tell you. it's very ai di#meanwhile whatever's going through chen yi's head rn has recently been doused with 'the boss doesnt care abt me like that'#after watching cdy and zml at dinner. like chen yi already knows *before* ep9 & ai dis confession that cdy will never look at him#(the diff. between this scene & ep9's. is him failing in regards to the gang as well in cdy's eyes. he goes from feelings of disappointment#& irritability to complete despair and both times he drinks to cope. bc hes not enough in cdy's eyes in ANY of the ways he wants/hoped)#so honestly the crisis chen yi goes thru right here isnt unfounded at all hes literally dealing w an inadvertent rejection of his feelings#its chaos in his head and ai di is picking at him again and the wine is tilting in his blood and then- 'learn from who? learn from you?'#like what do YOU know about love ai di (WHILE CHEN YI'S PULLING HIM LIKE THAT-) so OF COURSE ai di goes for the deepest dig he can.#'i bet you cant get hard that explains how much of a coward you are'. its ridiculous the ways in which they push each other over the edge#but im ngl im kind of obsessed the way chen yi's tipsy line of thinking 'learn from you?' turned into the action 'fuck it learn from ME'#ANYWAY EVERYONE GO LISTEN TO 'LOSE CONTROL' BY TEDDY SWIMS RIGHT THE FUCK NOW. THe most chen yi song pre-ep9

i truly think nearly every my chem song has more than one meaning (this is true of most things) but also that many of those meanings are contradictions and thats the point because that's the heart of my chemical romance: an enterprise which is both fake shrouded costumed performed and also the most genuine thing on planet earth
#this is to say wttbp was born to be the anthem which is itself selfaware of the fact its not enough n also somehow the most important thing#like you have to have the dualities of death and grief in your mind i think to grasp that.#and that the anthem cannot full explain all of it but man. the world will never take my heart.#you dont have lines like that in a song commited to complete subversion#bc my chem have never been a band with flights of detatched 90s irony or cynicism. even at their most bleak. yknow.#like not to be too stark about it. but this is a song about death by someone whose witnessed death#by someone whose experienced deep personal grief#and by someone whose been honest about viewing death as an escape. at one point.#and all those threads are important... the idea of death as something which can feel like propaganda......#anyway wttbp song of all time#my posts

#classicaloid#lizst#chopin#mozart#bach#beethoven#badarzewska#we're singing eine kleine machtmusik in choir which is so dumb bc they just put the lyrics from deck the halls onto mozart#and the other 90% that isnt deck the halls bc there are only so many lyrics are falala or fala-liddle-liddle or wtv(for every section....)#i hate like 90% of tofubeats's songs from classicaloid but i would much rather sing the classicaloid version of this song#also one of my teachers asked me who i was gonna be for halloween#i didnt wanna explain classic to this perfectly nice woman so i said “haha yeah beethoven” and she looked so happy#i hope i dont run into her on halloween......

one difference between the original and cover for my clematis that rlly caught my attention earlier was which chara sang the very last lyrics—mizi (the one who survives) in the original and ivan (the one who dies) in the cover. ever since i noticed that i've been trying to make sense of why they did that. in the context of the song it makes more sense for the survivor (till) to sing those lines since they're at the very end, after the other contestant has been killed, but with the meaning of the lyrics ("please, stay by my side") it makes sense for ivan to be singing them, since he's the one with the one-sided love. it felt to me like ivan asking till to keep the memory of him alive and with him even after ivan died
when the cover for cure dropped imagine my surprise when i saw that they did the exact same thing again!! they gave the very last line sung by ivan (the one who dies) in the original to mizi (the one who survives) in the cover, and again i'm trying to understand why this exact swap happened a second time. for this one the context is more of those being the very last words ivan says to till (tho that segment isn't actually in the music video version), with the lyrics ("consume me / yes, me") reflecting that final desperation for till to notice him, but from mizi's perspective it takes on such a different meaning.. is it mizi trying to plead with sua to wake up? to look at her again? to still be the one person who knows and understands her? fascinating stuff. i'm unwell
#maybe im overthinking this idk im not great at analysis#but its happened twice now and in what feels like Very deliberate locations to me so. i will overthink if i must#a second thing i thought of was them establishing parallels between mizi and ivan but i am not nearly coherent enough to put THAT in words#i mean we already got a whole thing abt that w the mizi cover of black sorrow#(which would also imply that if/when mizi gets her solo song it might be covered by ivan which . Fuck!!!)#maybe if i can understand their parallels better (if they give us more mizi and ivan lore in extra content) i will try to explain..#anyway. back to listening to the cover forever#alien stage#alnst#my post

the way people still defend ts and her private jet that is only continuously damaging the ozone layer is….so funny.
#personal#i wish swifties knew that they don’t have to live up taylor’s asshole :( there’s no light in there#or air which probably explains why they think and talk the way they do#no but fr like imagine not having enough brain cells to criticize a millionaire just bc she writes some fun songs every once in a while#yes i am saying this as a swiftie but i teeter on that ledge every damn day

Mind: I suppose you think that’s cute. What it makes you is a fraud.
Heart: yeah but i’m a cute fraud though right?
#submission#directly taken from… how do i explain#an infamous argument on the jan Misali youtube channel#which jan Misali proceeded to make songs using the lyrics with it#for example dreams of our ‘conglang’ community#it’s a trip like. max replies so they had to make more comments trip. like there’s a google doc with it transcribed so you can get the expe#experience trip#the argument was about whether toki pona - a simple constructed language or conlang#is a valid language since#it’s very simplistic and has few words. you have to desc new concepts with their traits#prob shouldn’t explain jt all. that was prob already too much#but The Lore you gotta consider The Lore. … Anyway#< submitter tags#i understand none of this but i got u#i am indeed considering this lore
