[sall0wisms]

this has absolutely nothing to do with HL but I have GOT to rant abt it somewhere bc it’s starting to pmo

if you are suggesting the throne of glass series to anyone (as you should bc it’s amazing) please please PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD SHUT THE FUCK UP ABOUT WHEN THEY SHOULD OR SHOULD NOT READ ASSASSIN’S BLADE!!!!!!!!!

it is NOT YOUR READING EXPERIENCE it is THEIRS!!!!! and they have every goddamn right to choose WHEN and HOW they read it!!!!!!

the information is out there on how the different reading placements translate into the ToG experience so LET THEM CHOOSE FFS!!!!!!

like if they ask you, by all means you can GIVE your opinion, but don’t be a fucking BITCH if they choose differently or if someone has a differing opinion like CHRIST why do we have to be so fucking controlling about these things ughhhhh it’s so annoying

ppl on tiktok are so fucking TOXIC about this series and I’ve seen it turn people completely away from reading it at all which just SUCKS bc it’s such a beautiful story that I think almost everyone could appreciate in some form or another but bc of these people who are just so fucking INTENSE abt it, they never get the chance to experience it

so long story short, fucking RELAX people and mind your own business☺️

what if Enid knew Wednesday didn't speak Greek so she starts talking in Greek just to piss her off, just to see her brow furrow and her hands twitch.

What if eventual she starts using it to tell Wednesday she loves her, knowing she won't understand. What if, when Wednesday asks 'what are you talking about, Enid?' Enid laughs and waves a hand, 'a lil' bit of everything, Willa.'

What if one day, Enid is stressed and starts a Greek-rant about if she could give Wednesday a kiss, her stresses would dim and her heart would beat so hard it hurts.

What if Wednesday stares, shocked, before slowly taking Enid by the her shoulders and placing a tender kiss to her lips.

What if Wednesday admits she learned Greek just so she could understand Enid, because the werewolf's thoughts and words mean more to Wednesday than anything else.

What if?

God that's so fucking cute FUCKK

Enid with her face aflame bc she legit JSUT confessed:.. What just happened

Wednesday, with her hands on Enid's chest: I gave you what you want, a kiss

REQUEST DENIED

It was the first time he'd seen a request for his usage of one of The Eye's private jets denied. Ever since Damon and Bianca sat on the board, things started... changing. For the better, mostly.

The next day Tyler showed up at Damon's office, who seemed like he was waiting for him. "You haven't completed a contract in months," Damon had replied to Tyler's complaints. "Complete contracts again, and you can use the jet. It's that simple, really." 

———

"It's a reasonable demand, Natasha. I can't keep using the jet like it's mine and not make money for them -- I'll take one contract when we're in Lisbon. It'll be quick and easy and I'll be back in everyone's good graces,” Tyler told his wife that night.

"Damon's good graces," Natasha had replied, correcting him.

A week later, the couple were in Lisbon. After Natasha fell asleep, Tyler was on the move. The target was an hour outside of the city center, tucked away in what was supposed to be a safe house.��Clearly, not so safe, Tyler thought to himself as he approached. 

Tyler picked the lock and slipped inside. He held the silenced glock at his side as he made his way through the home - heading toward what he believed was the bedroom, based on the drawings he'd been given. 

There was a noise... A shuffle? The wind billowing in from an open window? Or was it a breath?

Whatever it was, it was followed by a sharp stick to his neck. 

All Tyler remembered was Willa Hargrove whispering, "Time to sleep," in his ear, then he was engulfed by darkness. 

------

"What… Fuck.. What the fuck," Tyler heard himself mutter as he forced his heavy eyelids open. The scene his vision came upon was... unexpected. They were in a kitchen. Tyler had been propped in some lounge chair. Damon and Willa Hargove were seated at a small table across the room. Damon was reading a newspaper. Willa was drinking coffee in a lace chemise. Tyler looked down, realizing he wasn't bound to the chair -- again, unexpected. 

"Good morning," Damon replied, not even glancing over. Willa did, though. She smiled sweetly at Tyler. "Do you want anything to eat?" She asked.

Tyler frowned. "N-no... What... What the fuck is this?" 

"We know," Willa quickly replied, her smile ever-growing. Damon shot her a look over the newspaper, sighed, then reluctantly set the paper down onto the table. 

"My wife is referring to your former little drug ring -- the one you maintained with Anna Kovar, and the others," Damon said, his eyes finally meeting Tyler's. "All of whom are dead now. By your hand, if I'm not mistaken. All but one, correct?" Damon paused, hoping Tyler would put together the pieces. 

"You killed her -- Hanna." Tyler's voice remained low -- all the uncertainty before, gone. He suddenly became aware his gun was not on him anymore. 

"Of course we took your gun," Damon said with a raised brow. "But, you don't need it. We mean no harm." He paused, then added, "For now."

Damon then continued. "You ran operations for, what? Four? Five years? From what intel we've gathered -- quite lucrative. And all because you kept everything in the dark, using our company's resources to further your agenda… And wallet..." Damon inhaled sharply, then slowly exhaled. "It was smart, I must admit..." 

"What do you want?" Tyler said with almost a sigh. 

"It's time you get back to work, Tyler. You see, I understand. You saw Wes change his path and you thought you could change yours." Damon's head cocked ever so slightly to the side. "But now, with all this I've got on you? No, no. You're mine. You're coming back to work. You're taking contracts. You're doing what you're good at. No more of this fucking stay-at-home husband bullshit you're doing."  Damon laughed near the end of his "I own you" rant, and Willa giggled a little. "It is kind of sad, Tyler," She said, cheeks pink, head cocking to the side. “Aren't you bored?" 

Tyler's jaw was steel. "I'll start taking contracts again," was all he could bite through his teeth. 

"I'll get Wes next… He’s no Boy Scout either," Damon said with a small smile, and turned his attention back to the newspaper. "You can go now, by the way... Your gun is on the table next to the front door." 

Willa put on her sweet smile again, and waved goodbye.

Tyler thought about what a bullet between her eyes would look like for a moment, then turned and left.

Hey, so, I really like your re-read project! And because I was trying to remember something about Sansa/Alayne's chapters I re-read all your analysis of Sansa/Alayne chapters in the Vale. And re-reading them, made question another thing: I absolutely agree with you that Littlefinger don't really plans in marrying Sansa to Harry, because this freak wants her for himself, and in your analysis you point this many times. But at the same time, why would him poison Sweetrobin? Because, until the boy is under 16, he can act as the Lord of the Vale, and Sansa can be Harry's betrothed, and not necessarily get married with him. So it's not really beneficial for him to kill Sweetrobin right now. Because if he dies, than Harry will be the new Lord of the Vale, and he just could break his betrothal with Alayne, because she's a Littlefinger's bastard. Or if Alayne get married with him before Sweetrobin dies, she will probably no longer be a maid, Harry will bed her and he probably won't like Littlefinger's influence on her. So, I don't know if my rant made sense lol, but I'm quite confused.

Thank you, sweet anon. I agree with everything you said.

One of the many reasons I believe Littlefinger is one of the most inconsistent and poorly written characters in the story.

Many may disagree, but Littlefinger's decision to interfere with Sansa's betrothal to Willas didn't make sense because he had already planned to abduct her before she could reach Highgarden. How is being married off to Tyrion the better alternative? What if Tyrion had consummated the marriage? What if Sansa had become pregnant? What if Littlefinger and Sansa were stuck idling in the Vale, waiting for Tyrion to die? Oh right, that's where things stand. It's a good thing he stopped the betrothal, though.

It was also illogical for Littlefinger to give Jeyne to the Boltons, as it only served to strengthen their hold on the north. There is no way in which Littlefinger can utilize Jeyne's true identity to sabotage the Boltons' position without compromising himself, and exposing his own involvement.

Littlefinger wanting Sweetrobin dead and Harry to succeed him is not rational. He either wants both characters dead, or the author is being silly again.

What do you think the Roy siblings r up to after s4😭 Istg, I’m reading people wondering on Reddit and they all think Kendall kills himself 💀

people on reddit also hate the camerawork on succession???? like I read an entire rant about how this person couldn’t even finish the first ep because of it but I think it gives the show so much character and like I LOVE how the camera can follow everyone so much more intimately like I’m on my knees for the camerawork what’s wrong with them UGDJEKF

I’m two episodes through s3 so I don’t know what happens but I doubt kendall will ever go that far just because of his kids like he’d feel to guilty I think

but maybe an accidental overdose would make sense :( NO NOW IM THINKING ABT IT

connor’s def doing something hoity toity in a museum or some shit curating napoleon art and funding willa’s theater dreams

honestly hope shiv has all the bad things she deserves coming to her <3 she’s hot but HOLY SHIT calm down on the hate crimes on the people you love babes she’s probably out and about being busy with work or something (def went overseas bc of all the drama)

roman chase gerri /hj but I feel like he starts a strangely successful business selling lipgloss or something dumb like that bc kendall said he’d never be able to do it or something

no idea if any of this is in character or even accurate but I enjoy speculating thank you for asking anon <3

succession s4 e7 recap: 🍆🍆🇺🇸

this week's recap is nothing short of a trauma dump from this here political operative.

never in my life did i think i would relate to nate, but there truly is nothing scarier than election eve....

we start the episode off the disguisting brothers, preparing for a long night at ATN.

tom has seemingly still not slept and greggory peggory is still recovering from his night on the town with one lukas mattson.

a few levels up, team shiv and team roman are also gearing up for a long night.

other than the distinct lack of booze, i'd say the vibes are pretty realistic.

roman with mencken was always my least favorite version of roman. this episode is no exception.

in fact, i think i'm demonstratively anti-roman in this episode.

and gerri is nowhere to be seen:((

shiv is worried about mattson letting greg in on their little plans.

as she should. rule number 1: don't talk to greg.

rava has to deal with kendall yet again.

this woman is a saint. someone save her.

ken is still on his "everything i do, i do for my children"-shit. you know, everything except ensure that a fascist doesn't make it to the white house.

honestly, this episode is really, very good.

i never wanna watch it again.

mencken bonds with roman over the fact that they both hate the word 'narrative'.

he is prepared to lose and for a millisecond i was hopeful.

tom and greg do coke behind a whiteboard.

this is the right wing politics that i know. 10/10 great representation.

however, we all know how tom is with drugs. he does them all wrong and feels wrong and immediately begins spiraling.

my body is very bad at many things, such as producing enough serotonin, but years of campaigning means my stomach has superpowers.

gas station sushi? no problem. leftover pizza from the night before? don't feel a thing.

i'm stronger than tom, is what i'm saying. activists just do it better, i guess.

connor represents all politicians, all the time:

now, i respect all the politicians i work for loads, but there is just something inherently narcisstic about having six people cater to your needs constantly.

and most of them are unfortunately not as funny as connor.

tom is being a little shit.

with no moves left, shiv tells him she's pregnant.

it's not entirely unreasonable of tom to ask if it's even true, or if it's a tactic telling him that, but he's still a little shit for doing it.

i hate hate hate that we only got like four minutes of shiv girlbossing before she was back to doing everything wrong again... i support women's wrongs, but c'mon:(((

connor is by far my favorite part of this episode.

i just think they are neat<3

ken has his sister's back and i could rewatch those few seconds over and over and over.

fuck tom and his stupid touch screens.

and fuck roman too.

basically, there's a fire in wisconsin and ballots have been lost. historically, those votes have been overwhelmingly democrat, but roman wants them to call wisconsin for mencken, disregarding the burnt up ballots altogether.

he sends his talking points to ravenhead, who goes on an on-air rant, and the rest of the sibs take to the floor at ATN as well, much to greg's dismay.

shiv tries to threaten greg so that he doesn't tell her brothers about her plans with mattson.

as much as i love shiv threatening to pull greg's organs out his asshole, it isn't very effective.

there's an incident with wasabi.

i question a lot of decisions made in this episode, but perhaps most curious of all is the choice of lemon flavored la croix??????

i would laugh more at this if i wasn't so ridden with anxiety.

connor lands an embassadorship in the new mencken administration.

willa is skeptical of the fascism etc but still....

connor makes a speech. i love it when he does that.

we get a brief moment with the old guard, gerri not included.

we get basically no karl:/

instead we get roman being an asshole scene after scene after scene.

pls stop i can't take it anymore!!!

kendall is torn between team shiv and team roman, presumably because he can't decide what outcome will be most helpful to his own ambitions.

oh and there's the whole "my daughter might be in danger if mencken wins", but that seems to be secondary.

because he was vulnerable with shiv for a minute, he feels even more betrayed when he learns about her plans with mattson.

from greg of course. fucking greg.

the hugging era is truly a thing of the past.

i wish i had more jokes, but honestly this episode just made me very, very sad.

roman, ken and tom decide to call the election for mencken, despite shiv's desperate attempts.

and i just have to say, i know shiv isn't altruistic. i know she thinks a jimenez win will benefit her more than mencken will. i knooooow.

it's still very sad.

they call it for mencken.

me every single election night.

roman is very much in the camp of nothing fucking matters, and i guess he is right in a way.

it won't really matter to him or kendall.

it will for sophie, though. it will for jess.

ouffff....

roman now has a direct line into the west wing.

that being said, i don't think he's a very reliable partner for them.

in the end, mencken will do what is good for mencken. the same goes for roman.

i think ken might end up regretting this whole endeavor very, very soon.

tom becomes the face of this political scandal.

can't wait for it to bite him in the arse.

shiv makes a final rallying cry to mattson, but it somehow feels hollow to me.

this shiv girlie is starting to lose hope.

anyway, rava doesn't want ken to come over to see the kids because he prioritized his own project of becoming his dad over keeping them safe.

i guess i agree with him that the poison does, perhaps, drip down.

what a depressing episode!

i'm glad we are getting something to celebrate next week - logan's funeral wiii !!

Watching The Finder, the Bones spin off, which was made in 2011 and broadcast in 2012. It has not aged well for numerous reasons. One being a storyline in episode 8, where Walt is tracking down a pirate radio guy, using radio station equipment. They openly mock him for his 'podcast' n the guy wanting to be free of corporatism. The US marshal mocks him for sitting in a dark room, ranting n tells him to get a proper job.

Guess the show runners had little idea just how big podcasting would become.

It's odd when you see shows that were made on the cusp of the internet becoming our main form of entertainment. The ones that didn't make it to the streaming age, or just missed it.

(That being said, the show is fun, though I'm side eyeing that Willa is a 'gyspy' storyline real hard, and the way the show runners depicted the Romani)

Headcanon:A-Spen is the sweetest angel in Zombies 3

Omg literally so true, like they r so big on giving their hearts to everyone and feeling every emotion at full force, I literally love them. and slight Willaspen rant rq but like u said, since A-Spen is a literal cutie, I love how them and Willa r COMPLETE opposites. Like Willa is so freaking emotionally closed off and SOOO harsh/intimidating sometimes, but A-Spen sees the world in such a colorful light and sees past the walls Willa has up and I think their personalities mesh so well because of it. 😭😭😭

[gabumonisbestdigimon]

Finally got around to watching Z-O-M-B-I-E-S and the first two aren't masterpieces but are a fun watch especially for the music. I'm not going to lie the third I think is genuinely one of the worst movies I've ever seen.

Rant below.

I'm going to start off with that the music and choreography are the best in the franchise I really enjoyed all the songs in this movie.

Zed is once again a likable character and is my favorite character in the movie.

The first movie is about segregation and I've heard others say disabilities as well. The second is colonization and not losing who you are to fit in. The third is about immigration, climate change, "identity politics", and other messages I think just rewrite the lessons of the previous movies.

One of my favorite parts of these movies is when Addison puts on the necklace to become a wolf and doesn't. Which upsets her because she wants a place to "fit in" and Bree tell her she's beautiful, that she's always been beautiful and even if she's not a wolf she's Addison, someone who is deeply loved and amazing the way she is.

I loved this messaging that the second movie portrays of being comfortable in your own skin. That Zed doesn't need to be more human and that he can embrace that he is a zombie. That is the lesson Zed and Addison are supposed to learn in this movie. Except in the third movie Addison throws all of her dreams, family, and friends away when she finds out she's an alien. Like being Addison isn't good enough that she has to fully be an alien, like that's what's going to make her feel better about herself. It's like someone finding out they're 1/16 Cherokee and begin enrolling in the tribe, dressing in traditional native dress, and marking native on their job applications. It's nice to know your ancestry, but your genetics don't make up your personality.

Also the reason two works is because the werewolves are likable. I found the aliens to be unlikeable and whiny.

I found Addison in the first two movies to be whiny as well. Constantly talking about not fitting in and her white hair. Like she's not the mayor and police chief's daughter, a cheerleader that's super loved and popular, and has a good boyfriend and friend group. Like Zed, Eliza, and Bonzo aren't segregated from the rest of society, treated like monsters, and aren't allowed common decency in the first movie.

But I was able to overlook this because it's a kids movie and the rest of the characters carried the movies. The third movie just cranks Addison's unlikability to 10. She doesn't correct A'spen on what's socially acceptable to say, you know not hitting on Zed while he's there and it makes him extremely uncomfortable as just one example.

The fact the her grandma chose Seabrook as utopia even though at the time it was still segregated and hateful. The aliens should have chosen Seabrook that even if it is imperfect the still decide to call it home.

Also not every character should be in a relationship. Bree and Bonzo as a secondary couple is cute, but while I think Wyatt and Eliza could have a good dynamic they don't really interact in the second movie and by the third Wyatt's just magically in love. I understand that it's been a few years since two, but you should at least rely on onscreen chemistry which you can't have because Eliza isn't physically there for the whole movie. Willa and A'spen don't even make sense.

This movie has so many problems and just leaves a sour taste in my mouth. I have so many more things I want to say about this movie, but if you're still here you might not want to hear it.

[streamdotpng]

Fuck, had an idea strike me before bed, now it's your problem. Streamer Enid let's fucking goooooooo

"I hate you." It rings in the otherwise silent halls of Nevermore, and it rings harder in Enid's ears.

"What?" It knocks the breath out of her lungs, and if it wasn't for her muscles stiffening in fear, she hasn't a doubt in her mind she'd be on the floor with blurred vision.

"I despise you, Enid Sinclair. I hate you. I hate hearing your grating voice, I hate listening to your rants of K-pop and social media, I hate listening to you text and giggle. I hate your laugh. I wish the Hyde had killed you. You'd be prettier in a box in the ground."

"Wednesday..." her limbs feel like grief-weighted lead; heavy and dragging and breath-stealing.

"If we'd never meant, I would be a much happier person. Better, maybe. Did you ever consider in all your attempts to "help me" you might've made me worse? No, because you think your good enough to help."

"Willa-"

"Do not call me that. That is a term of endearment. I want no endearment from vermin. A pest. A sickness. How incredible you are, then, Enid. You made me despise a plague. I'm happy to hate a plague if it's you, though."

"Willa- I- I don't understand. We were good- we-"

"Don't kid yourself. I had tricked myself into believing I was in love with you, out of a sense of debt."

For the first time since she started talking, Wednesday moves.

She'd been horrifically unmoving.

She walks past Enid.

"I was incorrect in liking Tyler. I could never want someone so weak as to fail in putting down a sick animal."

.

.

.

Enid never understood why movies show nightmares the way they do. Her nightmares aren't like that.

She doesn't shoot up and grab her chest, panting and frantically looking around.

She tenses all her muscles and stares at the celling, feeling the press of nausea in back of her throat. She stares teary-eyed at a celling that feels no remorse or pity for not rousing her from her distress.

When she can breath and think, she's knows she just had a nightmare. That's all it is.

It wasn't real.

It never happened. Wednesday would not ever say those things.

Why did it have to sound so much like her, then?

She reachs over to grab Wednesday's hand, her arm, face something, because it wasn't real, right? They got married, worked on themselves separately so they could be together and be better because of it. Wednesday didn't mean those nasty words- she meant her wedding vows.

Right?

There's no Wednesday in bed next to her, no dark hair unbraided and splayed everywhere.

There's no Wednesday to confirm that it wasn't real.

Right. She won't be back for anothed year and a half.

She grabs her phone.

2:07

Wednesday's in Australia.

4:07

She grips her pillow.

Papawolf: willa

Papawolf: willa

Papawolf: wilsl please awnsee me

Papawolf: wednaaday responde to me please

Papawolf: wednesday lease awnsaer me im zbout to vomit

Idon'twantanickname: What has happened, Enid?

Papawolf: do you love me

Idon'twantanickname: With the very blood that pumps in my veins.

Idon'twantanickname: What has happened?

Papawolf: call me

Papawolf: if you can

Idon'twantanickname is calling you.

Decline Answer

She hits the green button.

"Cara Mia? Are you alright."

"Nightmare."

"Sweetheart..." she wonders if it's the cooing tone or nickname if realness of Wednesday's that makes her calm down.

Maybe it's the palpable love in it.

"You said you hated my- everything. Everything that makes up my personality, pretty much. You said you hated my rants and K-pop and hearing me giggle and text and- and-" she hates the way she chokes and chokes but doesn't pass out from the lack oxygen in her lungs.

"You said you hated my laugh."

"E-"

"You said you wished the Hyde had killed me-"

"En-"

"Yo- you- fuck- you said I'd be prettier in a box in the ground."

"Enid."

'Ye-yup? Yes, yeah, what?"

"Darling, take a deep breath. I want to hear it over the phone. Can you do that, my Wolf?"

"I. I don't know, Wednesday I- holy shit I can't breathe, 'm gonna die."

"You will not. Try to relax your muscles and then try breathing. There is no rush."

"Okay, that." She pauses. She loosens her knuckle-white grip on her phone and her pillow, and tries to work up her arms. She imagines little lights in her arms, and tries to dim them. Not turn them off, just the brightness a bit. Wednesday thought her that in their second year.

Wednesday wouldn't have taught her that if she didn't love her.

She tries to dim the chest-light next. She can feel just a bit of air enter her lungs.

"I can do that."

"Good," Wednesday speaks softly. Enid wonders if she's in a hotel room. A little cafe, enjoying a quad over ice. "Good girl."

Enid's tail thumps against the bed.

"Deep breaths, Enid. I want to hear it."

"Right, sorry."

"You have made no mistakes. Do not apologize."

"Sor- uh. Okay."

"Good girl."

Enid breathes for a while. Sometimes she doesn't breathe loud enough and Wednesday tells her louder.

"I feel better, Wednesday." It's not a lie.

"Good. One last breath, then we talk. Okay?"

"I'm good to talk now-"

"Breathe. Treat it like your thoughts. You would never be so cruel as to deny me the right to hear them, would you? Treat your breathing the same."

Oh.

Fuck.

"Okay."

She breathes.

"Are you alright?"

"You love me?"

"One molecule in my body houses enough love for you to wipe out a city block."

"You don't hate me?"

"Didn't you just hea- no. I love you so much, Enid Addams."

"You don't think I'd look prettier in a box in the ground?"

"No. Even if that somehow happened, your brightness would pierce the earth and alert me to where you are."

"Okay. I love you too. I'm good to sleep now. Thank you."

"Sleep beautifully well, Enid."

Enid yawns, her jaw pops.

"You 'oo wil'"

Enid hangs up. Wednesday refuses to be the one to end a call.

She checks the time.

3:47

She smiles.

5:47

-Writer Anon.

I hope your rest is amazing writer anon!

-

"wait a sec, I killed Tyler what-" Enid's chopping turned more aggressive. "im anything but a sick animal because I bit his throat out so a boss. It was totally a one sided fight."

"is this over what your figment of me said?" Wednesday asks, her voice tiny from her spot in the phone. She's in an airport somewhere, waiting till it's time to board.

Enid just grumbles. Sick, broken, not right has been words she's been hearing all her life so to hear it from Wednesday stings alot more than she should.

It also irritatingly struck her pride.

She's stronger now, much stronger and with age comes alot of wisdom. That wisdom being, she totally wiped the floor with him during that night and there's no way people thought elsewise. The fact that her own brain thought so was betrayal!

That was the first time she protected Wednesday, she held it in very high regards okay! She may have struggled a bit but she still came out on top.

Take that, Tyler. Him and his dumb bug eyes- should've squeezed it out when she could.

"the true pest was him," Enid huffs, scooping up the vegetables and tossing it into the pot.

Wednesday just sighs, shaking her head but the slight smile showcased how used she was too it.

Sometimes its better to let your dear sulk a little.

The Heart Don't Lie Chapter 65

AO3

How many steps between death and burial? Between agony and a final goodbye. Rose can’t say.  She barely remembers the days between her would be wedding day and this one, standing in black, holding tight to the hands of her would be mother-in-law and her Mama Claire. Her daddy, sister, father, stepmom complete one side of the pew. Her would be father-in-law, and Beth’s grandparents on the other side.

 

They stand silent, heads bowed, as a prayer is said. Before a closed casket where Beth takes her eternal rest.

 

“Lord, it is hard to understand the death of one so young, especially when she is taken in violence. We know Your plans are always for the good but this, Father, is a hard one. For those who love her, bring comfort. For the one who took her life, we plead for your justice.”

 

“Aye, by Your hand or mine.” Rose prays in her head.

 

Her family tried to talk to her, reminding her what she was taught from the cradle, ‘Justice is the Lord’s. He will repay.’

 

“She is a guest of the crown and shall remain so.” Her daddy said, just this morning. He has said it more than once but, she still can’t fully hear it. The hate and agony are still to strong.

 

“It will take time. We need to keep reminding her, loving her, and listening to her.” She overheard Mama Claire say to daddy.

 

She is a Godsend. Rose doesn’t know what she would have done without her and the rest of her family.

 

Leah and David seat solemnly behind her with Auntie Jenny and Uncle Ian and her cousins. The babies are home with a sitter but everyone else is here.

 

David and Leah aren’t sure what to say so they have just been hugging her and telling her that they love her. Kate cooked, filling Lallybroch with meals that go only half ate but she takes no offense and brings more the next day.

 

Simon he holds her as she cries.

 

Auntie Jenny is more like her, wishing vengeance. She is who she goes to, to rant.

 

Between them, they have gotten herself and Mary and Pat this far.

 

Her fingers are ice as she goes up to say goodbye, once again, to her love.

 

She places them on the smoothness of her casket. Willa stands by her. She doesn’t say a word, just stands. Rose doesn’t either. She has said goodbye so many times over the last few days that she is out of words. Her head goes down, forehead on the cold casket. Willa enfolds her in her arms when she turns back to her.

 

They follow the casket out. Her parents all hold her. They are right behind Beth’s parents who are comforted by their own parents.

 

Around an open grave, the minister speaks of the hope of heaven. Rose finds a bit of comfort in thinking about Anna in hell.

 

She still has many steps to go.

Succession Characters Ranked By How Much I Would Enjoy Hanging Out With Them

S Tier

Willa — the ideal hang. would love to talk theatre with her and I bet her play was better than the reviews said.

A Tier

Ewan — he's literally just like my dad for real so I think we'd get along great

Gerri — Don't know what we'd talk about but I think we could have a good time. Also I might ask her to be my domme.

Connor — As long as we stayed away from politics I think he could be cool. Honestly even typing that tho his political opinions are so wacky they don't even really bother me. Would love to hear about his ranch!!

B Tier

Manic Kendall — have to listen to him rant in circles about his dad and what people are saying on twitter but at least he knows how to throw a party

Roman — good sense of humor, would get on my nerves after a while though. feel like we could play video games in relative silence and have a good time

C Tier

Shiv — so hard to place her because she never really relaxes so putting her here

Depressive Kendall — less annoying than manic kendall but no banter :/

D Tier

Greg — so boring I forget he's there and he makes copies of my birth certificate or whatever

Chapter 4 Aegon

Aegon was walking through the halls with Aemon following behind him. “I’m so glad father let me finish early, his lessons are so boring and I would prefer enjoying the day instead of listening to him rant about ‘prophecies’.” Aegon rolled his eyes. Despite Aegon being raised with his father’s behavior he still found it annoying, all of his rambling and lectures really tired Aegon out, he would much prefer spending the day reading with Rhaenys and Aemon or sparring with the guards and Aemon, maybe playing with Rhaenys’ cats, basically anything but Rhaegars’ lessons. “So Aemon, what do you wanna do, we could spar or maybe we could go find Rhae.” Aegon smiled. Aemon paused and thought for a second before holding up two fingers, meaning he wanted to see Rhaenys. 

They started looking for her, first they checked the library and then her bedroom, then they checked one of the cat rooms, where she was sitting on the floor next to three of her cats, Maleys, Syrax and Caraxes, standing up those cats were bigger than most people, when they stood on their hind legs they were seven feet tall. 

Rhaenys had cats from all over the world, cats from Dorne, cats from the Westerlands, Cats from the north, Cats from Ashai, every type and shape of cat she had, Big cats, small cats, medium cats, fat cats, thin cats, normal cats.

“Oh brothers, I was not expecting to see you both so soon, I assumed it would be at least two more hours before you were done.” Rhaenys smiled. “Yes, but today I was lucky, father had some duties to attend to so I was allowed to leave early.” Rhaenys nodded. Aegon noticed Rhaenys was holding a letter in her hand. “Who’s that from?” Aegon questioned. Rhaenys smiled even wider. “It’s from Willas, He is coming to visit me.” Rhaenys face flushed red as she spoke. “Willas is coming? It's been quite awhile since he’s visited, I thought he was scared.” Aegon spoke. “Scared of what, I don't bite.” Rhaenys chuckled. “Of grandfather of course, I was under the impression all the Tyrells were and with good reason, everyones afraid of him.” Rhaenys and Aemon nodded in agreement. Things tensed up for a few seconds, everyone tensed at even the mention of the king.

After a few seconds Rhaenys motioned for Aegon and Aemon to sit next to her and the cats, once they sat down next to her Rhaenys put the letter down, she wrapped her arms around her brother and held them and they held her as well, it seemed all three of them were quite tired and they eventually closed their tired eyes and slept.

Just want to clarify the cuddling scene is not an incest scene, i know this fandom has quite a bit of incest relationships in it but this is not one of those, this is just sibling cuddling.

me watching people bashing j*nsa by putting Sansa down in very possible way when actually, it's the way their relationship is distorted that's delusionnal like 👀👀

J**nsa theories are not annoying because they give Sansa too much importance, they're annoying because they completely disregard her narrative value and characterization AND Jon's as well.

Jon has so much to do and so much to learn from many other women that have and are NOTHING to do/like with Sansa : Val, Arya, Daenerys, Alys, even Melisandre. It's the way they erase the importance of those characters in his narrative that's annoying.

Sansa has not much thoughts ms for Jon, but she does have them for other male characters that played a huge role in her narrative : Sandor, Tyrion, Harry, Littlefinger, even Willas. It's also the way those relationships are ignored.

It's the way Jon is seen as this uwu boy leashed by his all powerful girl boss sister/lover, and Sansa as this political gamemaster. When he's shown over and over to be a kind, thoughtful, profoundly clever leader with insane diplomatic skills. When she's been shown to only want to be loved, and safe. When her dreams of being a queen died with Ned and have been replaced with dreams of family and a safe home.

I see lots of people hating on J*nsa uniquely by hating on Sansa, putting her down, when Jon is praised to the skies and "plz save him from that ship that wants him with this horrible bitch who sold her sister and her father to gain more power"

have we read the same books ? We've been over this. You disliking Sansa and you admitting that she did not swing Ned's head off are not exclusive statements. She's NOT a power hungry woman : she's a girl who's been raised with the idea that she was to marry someone of importance who'll take her away from her family.

When Ned says to Arya that she'll marry some rich lord and be his wife and stuff : the same goes for Sansa !

Now, if you don't like Sansa for accepting this future and not see through the mysogynistic injustice of the system the way Arya did, well that's perfectly understandable !

Saying she's genuinely ready to sacrifice her family to gain power seems strechted. As if she's was not on the verge of suicide after Ned's death. You don't need to overstrech the canon to justify your dislike of a character or of a ship, there's already plenty there and it's fine !!

Anyway. Sorry for the rant. I love all of these characters and I feel genuinely sorry for all the absurd discourse that surrounds them more and more.
