Tagging : whoever wants to

I think Tsugumi sees herself as "the normal" one of the group. Like me, she has self-worth issues and sometimes has trouble communicating with her friends. Also, like her, I tend to go through the same kind of character arc and lessons (but I think that's just because Tsugu is a character stuck in a gacha game where you can only evolve to a certain point lol).

I picked Theon because my life fucking sucks, and it's 78 percent my fault and the other percent is my parents.

Portia spends most of season two complaining, running around, and being an annoying gen z doom-scrolling loser, not noticing the opportunity for enjoyment and happiness life has to offer because she's in love with her phone. And that's literally me.

And finally, we have Hajime, who hated himself so much that he agreed to get a lobotomy...

I saw a fic with this premise and I’m curious on your take: Helaena is the only child of Viserys and Aemma. Rhaenyra is the only daughter of Alicent and full sister to Aegon, Aemond and Daeron. How does the story change?

Hmmmm.

So I think this depends mostly on how Viserys & Helaena get along. Viserys’ stubborn pride & love for rhaenyra is based on a few main things. I think the fact that her egg hatched was seen as a huge sign, losing Aemma, and his relationship with Daemon being so tense. If we assume Helaena still bonds with Dreamfyre, then her egg doesn’t hatch - that Might be taken as a sign BUT I think Aemma (at least show Aemma) would point out that if Viserys’ bond with Balerion was seen as a sign, then Helaena’s with Dreamfyre should be seen as one also. We know Helaena in the book (i’m ignoring the show for that one) loved to ride Dreamfyre, and Helaena taking to Dreamfyre as easily as Rhaenyra takes to Syrax is likely to endear her to Viserys. And of course, eventually, Aemma will die because Helaena is still a girl. Does Viserys still dig in his heels here?

Well...it depends on how stable Helaena is. I do think part of Viserys' own determination to keep Rhaenyra as heir is both how much Rhaenyra wants to stay heir (as in, she looks to him for validation) and how much Rhaenyra attempts to rise to the occasion. Honestly, I think no matter what, Viserys is going to get pissed off about the "heir for a day" comment, and probably take Helaena down to see Balerion's skull and attempt to tell her the prophecy. If we go with the show and Helaena is a dreamer, she's bound to be receptive and if she is receptive, and gives answers Viserys is looking for, he will name her and nothing short of Helaena asking to be unnamed or having a breakdown is going to make him change his mind.

As for how Helaena herself deals with it...I do think it would make her a little crazy because she can see all the ways its going to go wrong and can't stop it no matter what she does. On the other hand, I think a Helaena who has had responsibilities put on her and a parent who has more faith in her ability to withstand it would mask better than the one we have in canon. I do think she'd be just as suspectible to Daemon grooming her though - the visions are likely to make up for whatever lack of anger & paranoia issues that differentiate her from Rhaenyra but I think they would have a much more Laena/Daemon esque relationship in that I don't think Daemon is as destructive of an influence on her personality because Helaena herself does not wish to be a man or heir in the same way that Rhaenyra does so she's not trying to emulate him so much (in a mirror to Laena in that like - she already has two parents lmao she didn't need Daemon to be her father, whereas Rhaenyra very much sees Daemon as a sort of protective and paternalistic force in her life) and that in turn probably makes Daemon's obsession with her a fair bit healthier on his end - which isn't to say that he doesn't still have a fixation on her, because he absolutely would, because she still represents Daemon getting back into the family. I actually think it's not unlikely that she does still resort to having a bastard child when she marries Laenor, but a) the child is probably born later than Jacaerys is, likely closer to Lucerys' age and b) because she can see the future, she probably isn't going to choose Harwin or any sort of permanent lover at all, but rather just try to have a silver haired child to ensure the line. Given Helaena's "oddness" and the way it can manifest as a sort of rude frankness, I think it's not unlikely Helaena turns to Rhaenys over this, even given that Helaena is likely to see the Velaryons as political rivals still (the way Rhaenyra - and her father - do) which might help in the long run.

With Rhaenyra as Alicent's daughter and Aegon's wife however. I think she's likely to be worse honestly lmao. I think she struggles a lot with her place as nothing more than a brood mare and I think she chooses to lash out at Helaena, the same way that Rhaenyra lashes out at Alicent over Viserys. If Helaena doesn't have children for several years, you can bet Rhaenyra is making a comment about it. Probably the stories in canon about Rhaenyra's ~lusts~ turn into like, bawdy Alyssa-type stories about her really enjoying fucking Aegon, and Aegon's ~lusty wife. Probably Helaena winds up garnering some sort of frigid, Selyse esque reputation in contrast to this - well of course Laenor can't get it up, his wife is too cold in bed, yada yada, and Rhaenyra is probably quite hostile about that as well. I think Alicent would struggle with Rhaenyra for a daughter - having a girl that is very improper, and not in the Helaena way where she can be infantilized but in a much more angry, in your face way is going to chafe a lot with the "but look at my perfect heir and his perfect sister-wife" thing. Not unlikely to me that Rhaenyra and Aemond wind up pretty close and fixated one each other. I do think where the Velaryons and Helaena get a leg up is that imo, this is a situation wherein the greens are going to be very outwardly, tackily hostile and Helaena isn't going to be hostile or tacky back the way Rhaenyra does - she's just going to freak out and shut down. Maybe this makes her look worse but I think Rhaenys and Corlys (and Laenor) are smart enough to captilize on like "look at how they mistreat her, they're so cruel to our future queen" but I don't know if Helaena wins a lot of allies if she's considered "unstable."

i will tag @whitegownsandflowercrowns @aemondstark @woongminrome @monstersandheartache @bemybabymp3 @allyriadayne @nicoleanell

this is funny because as someone obsessed with canva and also myself i have a color palette thing that includes characters i hyper relate to alsjdflkj. there's more than four (and there's also a few more characters in the Are You Me category) so I'll pick four alsdjflk but-

^^that's what happens when you have canva pro and a mental illness btw

Jem Carstairs, from The Infernal Devices - biracial, bisexual, chronically ill cane users who have some deep hangups about a lifespan they fear is cut kinda short by being sick (would i become a silent brother/iron sister to escape dying bc i don't want to leave the people i love? the answer is yes unfortunately)

Bran Stark, from ASOIAF - suddenly disabled at a young age and not dealing with it in a particularly graceful way, always ready to learn even though we are both impatient and fuck up a lot, quick to laugh, rascally just like our moms

The Vampire Claudia, from IWTV - i would say i'm more similar to the show version but i've been projecting onto claudia since i watched the brad pitt movie in 8th grade. Not to be like "it's the coquette thing" but well when you're very short, very feminine looking, very pale and sickly looking, and your parents bought all your clothes to dress you up like a doll for years, hate your dad (even tho yes he was better than his parents that doesn't mean he was good or fair to ME), have a strained but deeply loving relationship with your mom (let's not dig into the gender stuff re: Louis), and you're just really fucking angry about the whole thing, it's very hard not to overrelate to Claudia. When you add the show's bisexual awakening (and the way ultimately relates to Madeleine through their shared feelings of darkness and isolation) and the fucked up racial dynamics of their household, it's like. oh yeah. that's me if i was a murderer alsjf

Pepe the King Prawn from the Muppets - I'm dead ass. Bisexual, non binary, perpetually and weirdly horny, mean Latino, constantly looks like i'm 2 seconds away from a freak out, dresses like your grandparents on a cruise vacation.

Introducing Me

Hello everyone! I figured I should probably have a pinned post for this blog, so I'll introduce myself a bit below.

⭐ The Academy Awards are a major special interest of mine, and I absolutely love following them from January-March (aka when I'll be most active here).

⭐ I don't take them overly seriously; obviously I massively enjoy them, and I will get very invested in my favorites winning, but at the end of the day it's all for fun.

⭐ This blog will be used for predictions (nominations and winners), as well as my personal opinions.

⭐ While I may occasionally discuss other major awards here (the Emmys, the Grammys, etc.) this will be primarily for the Oscars and all immediately related events.

⭐ I am active on GoldDerby and Vulture's Movie Fantasy League (I am much better at the former than the latter)

⭐ My favorite movies are 1917, Babylon, Booksmart, The Brutalist, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, The Florida Project, The Godfather Parts I and II, The Grand Budapest Hotel, The Holdovers, Inglourious Basterds, Knives Out, Lady Bird, Last Night In Soho, Murder on the Orient Express, Oldboy, Parasite, GDT's Pinocchio, The Power of the Dog, Psycho, The Shining, Skyfall, The Social Network, The Starling Girl and Stoker

[atopvisenyashill]

@whitegownsandflowercrowns no you’re right, like firstly, there IS a difference in like, showing daemon just hanging out at a brothel AFTER he’s been established vs oberyn and tyrion literally being introduced mid orgy, there’s a certain level of disrespect for tyrion & oberyn’s intelligence and alienation from society (as a disabled and queer man, respectively) that isn’t there with daemon (or laenor for that matter). AND there is a level of respect for the girls in hotd that isn’t there in got. hotd has, imo, a lot more respect for sylvi & mysaria as women, as smallfolk, as working girls, than got ever had for shae or ros despite shae & ros having what feels like more screen time. even knowing how mysaria's story ends, she gets to have some sort of agency, a push to be seen as something other than a tool in the hands of a powerful man (or powerful woman) whereas ros is ultimately relegated to nothing more than a piece in the war between littlefinger and varys. and that's not bad as a story inherently but when ros' inner life is not given any air time, what you get is a story where she is sexually mistreated until she's offed for shock value, rather than a tragedy of a low born woman attempting to climb up the social ladder until she is torn down violently by the people around her. and the same with shae - whereas sylvi even in limited screentime is given the room to have her own feelings about aemond and aegon, every criticism shae makes of tyrion is completely undercut by the writers refusing to Go There with him and his marriage to sansa, which is the crux of his issue with shae.

and there's also like. the use of pornographic actresses. tbc i'm not saying i'm opposed to this - i think i've said this before but tbh getting actual sex workers to play sex workers isn't a bad move at all! and especially in the case of a character like shae, who often is naked or partially naked, i think having an actress that is simply more comfortable Doing Acting with her top off is just a better idea, and i don't think it's wrong to think seriously about artistic nudity in a series so focused on sex. there's frankly a lot of pornographic actresses who can act and want to act (or model) but didn't or couldn't for whatever reason. and i think sybel absolutely proves herself as being a very excellent actress! COMMA BUT. it sure is notable that shae, ros, and that other actress who shows up a lot in the background are all from adult film/burlesque esque stuff, and were treated by and large like absolute crap, but both sonoya and michelle seem to be treated with much more respect.

but also YEAH i have long suspected that the reason tamzin was dropped was not because she was bad in the part, or even that she couldn't get ahold of the conlangs, but rather that she didn't like doing so much of the series naked and when she pushed back against that, they dropped her for an actress that had no experience on a project like this because they knew they could bully her into shutting up and getting naked and that's exactly what they did for four seasons until emilia's contract was up and she got to renegotiate so she didn't have to be naked so often. like yeah i'm SURE her acting was weird - it was because the sex scenes were constant and exploitative and she didn't feel particularly safe on set!
