✨More depresso no esspresso✨

quick kataang warmup!

Imagine this: After the Driftmark Incident, Corlys takes Luke and Rhaena on a sea voyage to learn what it means to be true Velaryons of sea and salt. Laenor also tags along instead of following through with the plan to fake his death because he wants to keep a protective eye on his son and his sister's daughter, Rhaena. Cue a family sea trip where Laenor healthily processes his grief, Coryls learns to understand his son better, Luke builds a name for himself by taking up swashbuckling, and Rhaena becomes a rogue seafaring Targaryen.

i just adore him

you’re the heir to the iron throne. you’re a targaryen, that’s all that matters. you listen to your mother, because mother knows best and because she has loved you from the very first moment she felt your first kicks, she has loved you as best as any mother can.

you’re jacaerys velaryon and you love your father, fathers. one teaches you chivalry and the other teaches you that honour comes in many forms. your fathers hold love in their hearts that remains as the worst kept secret in court, and you love them as a boy loves the ones who teach him what it means to be a man.

you love them as they disappear, taken by fire, taken by the flames and you mourn them as your mother swears vows to fourteen flames, blood dripping from her lip as she promises her heart to another. he’s not your father. he isn’t ever going to be your father.

you’re the heir to the iron throne. you lose your sister, then you lose your brother. you run north, you fly where the air is so cold that your breath is mist, you see a land so vast and wild that you are sure that the old gods live within the root of each tree.

this is not home.

your home was taken by the flames many years ago, your home was stolen by the stranger long ago.

you’re the heir to the iron throne, you must do your duty and you kill the boy so that the man can live. you haven’t been a boy in a very long time.

you’re fighting your mother’s war, avenging your brother’s death and you’re a targaryen, that’s all that matters, that’s all that matters in this war, targaryens fighting against targaryens, fire in their blood.

you wonder if your fathers would be proud of the man you’ve become. you wonder if they hear you screaming at night, the night terrors trying to claim you as you see your brother torn in half and you see your mother’s hands cut by the throne.

you cannot be afraid. only boys are afraid.

(you were a boy once. that boy died in the flames, he died with his fathers.)

you’re a man now. you’re the heir to the throne. you’re a targaryen, that’s all that matters.

If cats knew what sin was they wouldn’t even care

I don’t care either fuck trigonometry

Can we talk about how one so-called “solution” certain people have for avoiding the war is Viserys naming Rhaenyra his Hand and “teaching” her how to rule?

Are we seriously going to ignore the fact that she ruled Dragonstone for over 10 years before her father died? That doesn’t count for experience in ruling in their book? Dragonstone is the Targaryens’ ancestral seat and a practice run for the future monarch, which is why the heir to the throne is named Prince/Princess of Dragonstone.

In medieval England, the Prince and Princess of Wales were sent there to establish their own household and learn how to rule.

How exactly would staying in King’s Landing benefit Rhaenyra? So she could waste her time fighting off the snakes her father let into their nest? Waste her time trying to fix her father’s mistakes?

And the argument “Viserys should have taught her how to rule” is absurd. What could he have possibly taught her? That going back on your word is not ok? That marrying an ambitious upstart and letting her bully your child is not ok? That naming your daughter heir and then endangering her future rule by fathering spawns on a malicious woman way beneath your station is not ok? That marrying your daughter to a rumored gay man and minimizing her chances of having heirs is not ok? That pushing away the brother who has always been by your side is not ok? That renaming a dangerously ambitious man as your Hand after you know perfectly well what his intentions are, is not ok? That letting your wife keep a traitorous murderer as her sworn shield is not ok?

I think Rhaenyra learned all that between the ages 8 and 16. There is nothing useful Viserys could have taught her in preparation for her ascension (he may have been a good man but he was a shitty king).

What about Aegon the Usurper? What did he do those 10 years? Drink and hump while his family was “plotting” to make him king and not even bothering to let him know? Yeah, he sure is king material…

I love how focused people are on what Rhaenyra should have done to make the transition easier but no one talks about how Aegon did absolutely nothing and got everything handed to him by his mommy.

Rhaenyra is “entitled” but Aegon isn’t?

Just admit you’re a misogynist already.

if you ever feel bad about yourself just remember that if you were a fictional character people would probably love you for all your flaws and quirks and mannerisms that you probably hate so just remember that okay ilu

why is this literally the most uplifting post I’ve seen in weeks thank you

Lan Wangji heard Beyoncé sing “If you like it then you shoulda put a ring on it” and took it to heart

Local deity Yiling Laozu was not prepared for such a short engagement💀

The Greeks would've easily won the Camp Jupiter vs Camp Half Blood battle. Not because of any logical, strategic reasons though. Its because they're batshit crazy

okay okay hear me out

yiling patriarch lan wangji

yes it’s my new favorite tag on ao3

there is something so delightfully wrong about the man who would be light bearer being corrupted into a demonic cultivator

wei wuxian became the yiling patriarch because he had no other choice

lan wangji becomes the yiling patriarch because he chose to be

okay im not sure if this is common sense or not, but imagine if percys powers were effected by the moon like water bending is in alta

like he’s already feral enough but when the moon comes out he just suddenly turns batshit crazy 😭 i would love to see the seven’s reactions when theyre fighting monsters and percy lets out an evil ass chuckle then proceeds to just kill EVERYONE in a flick of his head. make it canon rick pls
