Let’s hope the rest of the royals follow soon!

One Big Mario Party by But A Jape

I'm gonna be ready this time.

"Alleged Italian Plotters Nabbed," Border Cities Star. January 2, 1930. Page 8. ---- EXPLOSIVES FOUND IN HOME OF ONE ---- Held as Conspirators In Plan to Assassinate Belgian Royalty ---- PARIS. Jan. 2. - Three Italians were arrested Tuesday on suspicion of plotting against Fascists and in it he home of one of them police found a quantity of high explosives, a number of detonators and other materials for making bombs. The arrests and raid were made by agents of the Surete General, the French Scotland Yard, which bends its efforts particularly toward the protection of the state and of prominent personages. The police alleged that those arrested had maintained relations with Canthio Herneri. who was arrested about a week ago in Brussels, Belgium, and who confessed to a dual plot against the lives of the Belgian royal family as they journeyed to Italy for the wedding of Princess Marie Jose on Jan. 8.

The Havas News agency described the prisoners an Italian newspapermen. Their names were Aberto Cianca. Giuseppe Sarbell and AIberto Farchiani. It was at the home of Cianca that the explosives were found.

The Havas agency indicated that the three were perhaps plotting against the Italian naval delegation which will pass through France en route to the London conference next month. The exact nature of the plot had not been disclosed.

The police of Belgium, France and Italy have redoubled their vigilance in recent weeks because of the evidence that anti-Fascists and Anarchists had planned various forms of violence in connection with, the marriage of the crown prince of Italy.

Berneri disclosed that an attempt had been planned on the lives of King Albert and Queen Elizabeth in Brussels and if that were unsuccessful another attempt would be made on the royal train soon after it entered Italy.

Because of these disclosures the frontiers have been rigidly watched and preparations made for the stationing of additional armed guards at all railway stations through which the Belgian royalty will pass.

So apparently flags in Connecticut were at half mast today because of fucking Queen Elizabeth's funeral!?! Are you fucking kidding me?!? Massive colonialism of both parties involved aside, didn't we fight a war to not have to care about monarchies and that monarchy in particular?!?!

RIP Queen Elizabeth

Elizabeth II was Queen of the United Kingdom from 6 February 1952 until her death on 8 September 2022. Her reign of 70 years and 214 days was the longest of any British monarch and the second-longest recorded of any monarch of a sovereign country.

Born: April 21, 1926, Bruton Street, London, United Kingdom

Died: September 8, 2022, Balmoral Castle, United Kingdom

Full name: Elizabeth Alexandra Mary Windsor

Spouse: Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh (m. 1947–2021)

Children: King Charles III, Prince Andrew, Duke of York, Anne, Princess Royal, more

Grandchildren: Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex, Prince William, Duke of Cambridge, Princess Beatrice, more

Parents: Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother, George VI

So, apparently, an adult supervillain whose been terrorizing a city for years, rarely actually shows remorse for his actions and is also a neglectful and controlling parent because of the “death” of his wife is “sympathetic” and “redeemable”

but a teenage girl whose a bully because she has an abusive mother who constantly belittled her and can’t even remember her own name that she so desperately wants the approval of and a father who just spoils her to death, who showed remorse for her actions at times and was actually on the road to changing and becoming a better person after becoming a superhero before it was taken all away from her at the last second is “irredeemable” and “absolutely evil”.

Thomas Astruc’s logic is absolutely ridiculous.

DEPLOY THE CRABS AND THE HAL STEWARTS!

Is it verging on tinfoil hat territory to laugh about how the egg Aegon II failed to hatch after murdering Rhaenyra was purple?

Or could it be an... easter egg?

I feel like there were sort of blood-purist undertones to the way GRRM wrote the characters of the Dance and it's sort of a not-so-covert favoritism.

I think one of the most undeniable examples of this are Aegon II and Helaena's (both whom are only half Targaryen) eldest children, Jaehaerys and Jaehaera. The twins suffer birth defects (physical for Jaehaerys, mental for Jaehaera) that are quite obviously the effects of inbreeding. This might just be a misinterpretation on my end, but it kind of leaves this impression Aegon II and Helaena were punished for committing incest when they are not the sort of Targs that get worshipped. This is parallel to the "madness" (birth defects) of Joffrey Lannister because his parents were twins. The Lannisters get condemned for their incest and when they bring up the Targ it's always the same, "you are not Targaryen" thing that gets brought up.

(DISCLAIMER: I AM NOT ADVOCATING FOR INCEST, POOKIE. I'M AGAINST IT)

Another thing I consider to be part of this little blood-purity agenda is the difference between the fates of the Strong boys and Daemon's sons. Of course, this may just be because Daemon was GRRM's fave, but Jace, Luke, and Joff all died during the war, Aegon III and Viserys II both became kings afterwards. The former were half Strong, the latter were mostly Targ.

Otto Hightower: “The Realm will not accept her.”

Green stans: “Rhaenyra bred bastards! Westerosi lords will never accept her bastards!”

Rhaenyra Targaryen was supported by 53 Houses, while only 28 supported Aegon.

Rhaenyra also had more Great Houses on her side - Stark, Arryn, Tully, Greyjoy.

Aegon only had two - Lannister, Baratheon.

Oh, and, a direct F&B quote: “Queen’s men had remained, even after the queen herself was dead, and Aegon is reduced to bones and ashes.”

Fandoms have really worped peoples idea of what punk is.Obviously the misconceptions and straight up lies about us didn't start with them but they were definitely a huge help in spreading them due to media and the lack of comprehension of it therefore.Like i said in the caption of my recent meme that blew up,being punk is not an aesthetic but a subculture and a policitical movement with the requirements to be one of us being fighting against corruption and helping and generally being kind to minorities and if a character is just edgy without doing that,then they don't deserve to be grouped in with us when they haven't earned it

In real life,when someone goes punk,it's almost always because they're a minority and faced so much discrimation and abuse because of it that they decided to do something about it and that's how they made their decision.I'm not gonna give out details because that would be traumadumping but the reason i went from regular pastel to pastel punk is that i'm a biracial afrolatina who was raised by the white side of their family,mentally disabled because of having a bunch of disorders including autism,mspec and aspec and a former tomboy kid turned femme genderfluid and bigender transmasc.That probably gives you an idea of all i've experienced and those experiences are the reason i decided to start going punk,not because i wanted to be 'cool'.Not that that's inherently a bad reason to but it is a rather ignorant one

Like,look at the characters i used in that meme-Hobie Brown,a black teenager who was forced to grow up too fast or he wouldn't survive,Ichigo Kurosaki,an autistic boy who saw his mom die when he was only a child and was never given therapy and resorted to repressing his emotions to cope and had deal with everyone assuming he was a delinquent based off nothing but his hair color so they treated them badly because of it as far back as middle school,Katara,an indigineous girl born during a 100 year long war who saw her mom get murdered when she was only 4 and adultified and parentified for the next 10 years straight afterwards even though she has an older brother,Luz Noceda,a second gen afro-dominican inmigrant who's bi and gender nonconforming AND neurodivergent and had no friends until her series began because of it,Stephanie Brown,a girl who was emotionally and physically abused by her dad and nearly got csa'd by one of said dad's friend's which traumatized her so much she remembered all the details years later and had to take care of her mom who was a drug addict and then had to deal with a man twice her age constantly degrading her for not being his adoptive son yet calling himself her mentor

Percy Jackson,an adhd and autistic person who's abusive stepdad used their insecurities over their intellegence as insult fuel and grew up poor and getting bullied nonstop and with their teachers not only never helping them but AGREEING with their bullies that they were a bad kid and punishing them for nothing and then spending all five books of the original series having to deal with an older man who'd gaslit them into trusting them so he could kill them when they were only 12 AND literally almost every authority figure(the gods)treating them like shit including the one who's their dad that abandoned them at birth and never made up for it,Dabi Todoroki,a physically disabled man who's disabilities were caused by him trying please his dad who'd started abusing his entire family the second he didn't get what he wanted from them and has been having to deal with everyone praising him as just an anti-hero for almost a decade

They're all punks,some intentionally,some not,but the REASON they are is that they have the punk mentality and show it in their actions,not because some of them are edgy and some of them not being edgy dosen't mean they 'don't count as/can't be' punk and that was caused by their experiences as minorities,not anything else and that's not subtext,it's just text.You don't HAVE to be a minority to be punk but the characters i've seen labeled as part of us more often than not are the ones actively hurting the ones who are and that inherently means they can't be because the whole reason punk was created was to be anti-bigotry and protecting and loving opressed people

Someone who dresses in dark colors and alt accesories and goes out of their way to mistreat people who don't deserve it and are already thought of as subhuman by society isn't a punk,they're a bully and an abuser in the making and if they're an adult,then they already are one and no,them being abused dosen't justify any of that because MANY irl actual punks went through and are even still going through it but didn't have the privilige to turn into a tormenter with no consequences over it.And sorry to tell you this but if you think they are or should be instead of getting justice served on them,then you're not punk either
