Anonymous: Heya~ is it alright if I ask for what would happen if Bela and Cass fight over a maid/reader. As in they develop a crush on the same person and they're just bickering because of it. Don't get me wrong, I like Dani as much as the other person, but these two have my heart just a little bit more. Poly ending if possible please :)
I love all three sisters, but Cass is probably my favorite :D This is a great prompt. Reader, as usual, is gender-neutral. Let’s get into it!
You’re just a simple servant, you know? You try to do your job as best you can and not get in other people’s way, but… You suddenly find yourself caught in the middle of a very unexpected battle. Alcina Dimitrescu’s daughters have a very… Complicated reputation. They are gossiped about for their flirtatious ways, but they are also feared for their insatiable… Appetites? Somehow, Bela, the oldest, and Cassandra, the middle child, have both developed feelings for you.
You never anticipated this predicament, but now you’re entangled in their sibling rivalry.
Bela, with her golden locks and otherworldly beauty, sends shivers down your spine. She is very similar to her mother in how she behaves. She expects excellence and commands whatever room she’s in. Her piercing gaze makes your heart race. Her pull is undeniable and you find yourself drawn to her elegant demeanor.
On the other hand, Cass’s fiery spirit and mischievous nature captivate you in a different way. Her adventurous impulses and striking looks ignite a sense of excitement within you. Her vibrant personality and devilish smile are impossible to resist.
Now, sisterly bickering is a tale as old as time. But, as you become the center of their disagreements, the tension between Bela and Cass escalates. Despite their well-documented promiscuity, neither of the two have actually fallen for anyone before… But you are different. You make them both feel treasured. You make them laugh. You hang on their every word and always let them vent to you about the frustrations of the day. They vie for your attention, each attempting to outdo the other with grand gestures and displays of affection. Their fighting eventually becomes incessant, as if you’re a prize to be won in a game of love. Poor Daniela spends most of her time in Alcina’s study now to get away from it all.
Bela and Cass each insist that you pick one of them to be with. Yet, amidst the chaos, your feelings become increasingly complicated. You realize that you’re in love with both of them. Bela’s alluring presence and Cass’s infectious energy have intertwined themselves within your being and you can’t imagine choosing between them.
In a moment of clarity, you decide to confront the sisters and express your genuine emotions. You explain that your heart belongs to both of them, and that the thought of separating from either of them is unbearable. You hope they might understand and accept your feelings. “Bela? Cass? I… Think I’m falling in love with… Both of you. Asking me to choose between you two is impossible,” You say quietly.
You expect the worst. For them to scream at you or maybe even… Attack you in outrage for being unable to choose.
Surprisingly, though, Bela and Cass don’t seem upset like you thought they might be. They listen intently, absorbing your words, and after a moment of silent contemplation, they both excuse themselves to go talk privately for a second.
In your mind, you’re gearing up for World War 3. The Dimitrescu women are definitely not people you want to piss off. This was a mistake…
However, it actually doesn’t long for the sisters to rejoin you. It seems they have reached some kind of understanding. “I would like to ask you something, Y/N. But, I want you to really think it over before you answer,” Bela says.
You nod quickly. “Of course, anything, Bela,” You say.
“Cassie and I adore you. But, we also know that you are interested in both of us…” She begins. “We can’t stand to lose you, so what would you say to a compromise?” She questions.
Your eyes go wide at this. “Uhh… A compromise?” You ask, now a bit wary. What could she mean?
Cass can’t help but chuckle at the alarm on your face. “We would like to… Well, share you, darling,” She says, shrugging.
You immediately flush at this. Wow. Two of the most precious women in your life are willing to sacrifice so much just to be with you?
Your heart swells with gratitude and affection. You realize that their love for you transcends jealousy or possessiveness. It’s simple, pure. They just want to spend time with you and they are fine with taking turns every now and then if that’s what it takes. You look at them both and smile. “Let’s do this!” You cheer.
Bela squeals excitedly and gently cups your face in her hands, leaving a chaste, but tender, kiss.
Not to be outdone, Cass wraps her arms around your neck and places a searing kiss on your lips… Her tongue even finds its way into your mouth for a second. She’s getting a little bit carried away, but the sound of Bela clearing her throat gets her to stop.
How did you luck into finding two amazing girlfriends? You are so happy. You didn’t know you could have everything you’ve ever wanted. Together, you, Bela, and Cass create a loving balance, respecting each other’s needs and desires, and nurturing a profound love that defies societal norms.

superhero world building and mechanics is, this is not an exaggeration, my absolute favorite thing in the world. tell us everything.
SO everything is set in a fictional city in Delaware called Kaiyper. Why Delaware? Because it's close enough to the federal government for the presence of superheroes to be a concern but Delaware is also unassuming enough that the average American citizen would know jack shit about it.
The origin story is that there was a government funded genetics lab located in Kaiyper that was conducting experiments on rats regarding activating dormant genes. In this process they discovered a virus that appeared completely benign but actually caused the activation of a "superhero" gene in certain populations in the presence of a large amount of adrenaline. One scientist, upon learning the government intended to use it to create a superpowered army, decided the virus was too dangerous and destroyed all but one sample.
See this scientist wasn't exactly a beacon of goodness either. They still wanted to see their research flourish. And there was a man who rode the bus with them by the name of Jason Weiss who they felt was the perfect human subject to test this on. So they exposed Jason to the virus surreptitiously and then went underground.
Unfortunately even though the virus wasn't communicable in rats it proved to be in humans, and it slowly spread through the city. So people started developing superpowers out of nowhere, and no one knew the cause except the government and the lab, and they kept it hush hush for obvious reasons.
The main story takes place about 30 years after that initial infection. Jason died in a fight with the city's first supervillain. His daughter, Leona (under the codename Duchess Vespus), who only recently discovered her own superpower, has taken it upon herself to become the city's protector in his stead. She's joined by her childhood best friend Tripp Weaver, AKA Trap-Ease, and an enigmatic alien named Th'alhnan, AKA Angelface.
The city has a broad cast of supervillains, ranging from petty thieves to mass murderers, and that includes an exotic dancer named Candice Randall, stage name Candy, villain name Pound Foolish. And she just happens to be one of Leona's girlfriends.
The other girlfriend, Danielle (who belongs to my bestie @moonlube) is a member of an underground supervillain containment group composed of non-powered humans operating outside of the law to try and help control the superpowered crime wave in the city. Her partner is James, a goofball and perpetual fuck-up whose car is constantly getting wrecked by superhero shenanigans. His insurance is so high.
Most of the story revolves around Leona, Candice, and Dani trying to navigate romance amidst their clashing careers. The fun thing about the superhero gene is, its expression is not just dependent on genetics but on necessity. The primary power they develop is dependent on what they needed or wished for it to do at the time of its activation. Leona is invulnerable because she was attempting to take a bullet for someone when her power activated. Her father Jason had super strength because he was trying to stop a bus. Some people have more than one power, but it's unknown why some people develop more powers than others.
Other fun characters include
Shandar, an emperor of a now destroyed planet, forced to take refuge on earth while they plot their revenge
Diamondback, a spoiled nepo baby who has taken up supervillainy just because he was bored
The Broforce Five, five college fratboys with superpowers who think they're the rightful protectors of Kaiyper. One of them is killed early in the story and the Broforce disbands.
Abraham, a broken shapeshifting alien superweapon that can now only turn into a weird dog and a backpack. He belongs to James.
Scarabesque, a former ballerina whose career was ruined by an injury. Now wears a protective armor and uses her powers for evil. Has a little bit of a crush on Leona.
I recently started retooling the whole thing so there's some posts with more info on my blog I need to retype but that is the basics of it!!

Fun facts about the names of my OCs!! You do not need to read this lol
I decided on the name “Wendy” for our favorite non-sorcerer OC because it has no religious or mythological origins. it’s not translated from any ancient languages, it’s not even a botanical name that comes with any symbolism. As far as I know (from my internet searches), “Wendy” was coined by the playwright of Peter Pan, who knew a young child that called him something like “fwendy” to mean friend. I liked the simplicity of it, and the lack of deeper connotations.
as for “Matherson” i wanted an equally normal name without any significant implications from its origins, but it couldn’t be fabricated like a given name—so i found one that looked fairly normal for a white person but with unclear origins because of spelling alterations as it was translated into modern English. it could be related to “Matheson” which could be from Scottish Gaelic Mathers - one who mows grass or it could be a patronymic form of “Matthew” which ultimately comes from Hebrew מַתִּתְיָהוּ - Matityahu (Gift of Yahweh)—or something like that. Ultimately, it’s unknown to me where the name originates from or its actual meaning, which is why i picked it. there’s also a middle name but that hasn’t been revealed yet.
for Wendy’s mom—“Danica” comes from Slavic folklore for “morning star” or “Venus” and I just thought it was a good name. Unlike Wendy’s name, Venus comes with mythological significance and symbolism across several cultures and religions. But the actual name “Danica” works as name that’s less common for an American woman without being ‘exotic’ to most people. i like that it comes with “Dani” as a nickname. The fact that “Danica” is tangentially connected to so much symbology also plays a role in the character’s choice to simply name her daughter “Wendy”
i think i mentioned yoshi’s name significance a while ago but i’ll reiterate it here—
for Yoshi, my internet research is not thorough enough to know if there’s any deeper cultural or geographical significance to “Ariyoshi” in Japan, though many names are linked specific locations. I just know this part: 有 - ari (have) 吉 - yoshi (good luck). “Reina” was chosen for its Spanish meaning, “queen” because there’s no pretty Spanish name that translates into “boss bitch” lol. but it’s also a Japanese name, and you can spell it 怜 - rei (wise) 奈 - na (a phonetic character).
I don’t remember what characters i wanted to use for “Mariko” I’m so sorry. I mainly chose it so that her nicknames would be “Mari” and “Maria”.
I’d love to explain Yoshi’s dad’s name but i feel like it needs to be actually mentioned in the story before i blab. It’s not even that deep, honestly, but it’s not part of my canon yet so it mustn’t be revealed 😤

Walking Dead (Unexpected Musical) — PattyCake Productions music video
youtube
Inspiration can come from surprising places. In the music video for Sia's 2016 song "The Greatest", a group of children dance their way through the rooms and hallways of what looks like a detention center, doing moves that are sometimes bizarre or even jarring against the tone of the melody. The opening scene of The Walking Dead television adaptation follows a disoriented man waking up in a ransacked hospital and stumbling his way toward the ongoing zombie apocalypse outside. PattyCake combined those two images, mashed up their accompanying music, and created something simultaneously entertaining and unsettling.
Details:
title: Unexpected Musicals – The Walking Dead
performers: Ryan Simpson (Rick Grimes); Kaley Kolb (zombie kid)
original songs / performers: "Theme from The Walking Dead" by Bear McCreary & session musicians; "The Greatest" by Sia
written by: "Theme from The Walking Dead" by Bear McCreary, Edward Trybek, & Henri Wilkinson; "The Greatest" by Sia Furler, Greg Kurstin, Kendrick Lamar, & Blair MacKichan
arranged by: Layne Stein
release date: 11 February 2017
My favorite bits:
opening with the frantic strings from the TV theme
the little cries in Ryan's voice as though he's trying to convince himself of the truth in his words
finally adding vocal harmonies on the defiant ♫ "No no no!" ♫
Ryan wandering the halls in a way that echoes both the Walking Dead pilot and the Sia video
the breath between ♫ "the greatest" ♫ and ♫ "alive" ♫ that almost separates them into two distinct thoughts
those quiet music box tones evoking childhood even before we see the little girl
Kaley lurching along in bunny slippers with a teddy bear, like the scene in the show's first episode
good stunt fall, kiddo!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
instagram
Trivia:
○ Ryan was a member of the band Tigerweather, whose first EP Layne had produced at his Rayne's Room studio.
○ This project was even more of a family affair than usual with:
Layne's step-daughter Kaley playing the zombie kid
her older sister Annesley credited as assistant editor / grip
his wife Cyndi being given "special thanks" (presumably for letting her middle schooler get zombified)
additional "special thanks" to Dr. Charles Stein (I'm guessing for advice about the medical stuff.)
Tony 's sister Anita serving as production manager
and Kailey Simpson as production assistant
○ Kaley had previously played Dani in PattyCake's "Hocus Heathens" video. She and her sisters also briefly appeared as the Lullabye League in the opening section of PattyCake's "Will.of.Oz" video.
○ Kaley's zombie makeup, the grasping hand's makeup, and the mangled corpse were handled by Jonathan Shane Ferrell of Makeup and Creative Arts in Orlando. He had previously worked on, and appeared on screen in, the "Will.of.Oz" video.
○ Layne and Tony had previously performed David Guetta & Sia's "Titanium" as part of VoicePlay's live shows, and recorded a video with Rachel Potter for their arrangement of Sia's "Chandelier".
○ The filming location for this video was Broward Correctional Institution, a former women's maximum security prison in southeatern Florida that had been decomissioned five years prior.
○ The guys posted a behind the scenes look at part of the building they were filming in. (Layne does use some unfortunate language to describe the former prisoners, though. 😞)

Girl Dad Daemon Fic Spoilers (so a cut), but I need to get all this in one place:
Alyssa: King’s Landing Prostitute (Lysene), Silverwing. Born in 100. Named by Daemon after his mother. Daemon wanted her raised in the Red Keep with Rhaenyra, but Otto isn’t having Daemon’s bastards raised there, so she was shipped off to Dragonstone. Claimed Silverwing in 112. After her birth and the fallout with a Daemon vs Otto argument, Jaehaerys sends Daemon on a tour of the free cities, which results in:
Jaenara: ____ Belaerys (Volantene), Vermithor. Born in 102. Named by her mother after Jaenara Belaerys. Keeps a reasonable relationship with her mother’s family, largely splitting her time between Dragonstone and Volantis pretty evenly, especially after claiming Vermithor in 112. Is a bit of a hothead and claimed a dragon that young because her sister just did so she wants to as well, damit. 
Visenya: Pentosi Magister’s Daughter, Dreamfyre (yes, I’m stealing Helaena’s dragon). Born in 107, in such a way that Daemon kind of uses her birth to take attention away from Alicent’s Aegon. Named by Rhaenyra at several months old because Daemon was fresh out of names. Shipped off to Dragonstone to join the rest of Daemon’s bastards, though because Rhaenyra always wants to see her (the other two took one sniff of King’s Landing air and demanded to go straight back to Dragonstone) so she’s around King’s Landing enough to basically steal Dreamfyre out from under Helaena’s nose in 120. Of all Daemon’s brats, she succeeds her father as the devil incarnate in the eyes of the Greens. Rhaenyra’s favorite for similar reasons.
Daenys: Mysaria? (haven’t decided for sure yet), but rumors are spread that she’s Rhaenyra’s (she’s not). Born in 112. Clouddancer. Named by Alyssa and Jaenara, because Daemon still sucks as names. The only one to get a cradle egg, which hatches into twin dragons that go everywhere with Daenys - in the castle etc. Rides Clouddancer, but Shadowdancer likes her kind of in the way Viserion and Rhaegel do to Dany. Mostly banished to Dragonstone because Daemon is not supposed to bring his kids around anymore after the grief Visenya has been causing. Kind of a racist against Andals or those with Andal blood, even by the standards of the Targaryens. Fucks around with black magic for fun. Generally a bit creepy. Gets sent off to Volantis/Pentos a few times because she does _not_ get along with Rhaenyra’s eldest three (due to her being a racist and thinking they have andal blood). Rhaenyra is not a fan. 
Opinions on the dance of the dragons:
Alyssa: Yes of course I’m going to help my father and my friend Rhaenyra kill their enemies.
Jaenara: Well normally I would just sit in Volantis, this isn’t my war, but I can’t let Alyssa take all the glory.
Visenya: WHOOOOO! YEAHHH! Let’s go murder some Greens!
Daenys: Yes, let’s go kill the halfbreeds.

Day 8: favorite arc
My favorite Arya arc would be the current one; of her time in Braavos.
Throughout the series, we have seen this 9 year old girl suffer unimaginable horrors. Forced to flee into the streets of KL- Arya has known what it is to starve. She learns that in a world that only knows need and hunger, she would be killed for the boots on her feet and the cloak on her back. She realises that for those who live beyond the walls of a castle, life doesn't bring them a knight from a song. Because when these iron clad men do come; they come to rain fire, death and destruction...tearing them apart like a pack of wolves or like a pride of lions.
Arya has tasted death; she has bit into maggot filled apples that grow between hanging men and perhaps even drank from lakes that have become watery graves to bloating bodies. She has heard the screams of those who have been violated- used as a commodity only to be killed when met with resistance.
Arya has lost her kin, her home, her friends.
So even if her Westerosi arc is filled with powerful moments; I prefer the Braavos one.
Mind you that by this I don't mean to indicate that her time with the FM is a flowery field; she is in a constant peril of losing the tether to her identity. But even so I love it as she once again gets to play at being a 10-11 year old.
There is something almost beautiful in getting to see Arya freely interacting with people again. In getting to see her appreciate the "pink and blue" dawn and the "sharp and salty" air that blows over the canals. She isn't constantly looking over her shoulder to see if she being chased by the bloody mummers or by Lannister men and what's more is that she is not starving anymore:
Supper was her favorite time. It had been a long while since Arya had gone to sleep every night with a full belly. 
I feel like these lines have both literal and figurative significance:
Westeros has been ravaged by war- a vision of which Dany was shown in the house of Undying. While the powerful sups on swan meat and makes provisions to arrange luxury parties at the onset of winter, the common folks suffer not only the misfortunes of the season but they also have to deal with being collateral damage in the play of politics. The result is a kingdom full of rot, hunger, starvation, stagnation, death and misery.
In Braavos though, Arya gets to witness the life a commoner leads when it is untouched by war. It is not perfect, nor is it without its danger, but still somehow it carries a hope of a future. It allows one a moment of serenity, it allows its young lovers to frolic in peace.
Brusco's daughter Brea meets a boy on the roof when her father is asleep, she thought. Brea lets him touch her, Talea says, even though he's just a roof rat and all the roof rats are supposed to be thieves. 
It also allows a confluence of cultures (which in turn hints at trade and a relatively steady economy) and a laugh to be shared among friends
She liked the sailors too; the boisterous Tyroshi with their booming voices and dyed whiskers; the fair-haired Lyseni, always trying to niggle down her prices; the squat, hairy sailors from the Port of Ibben, growling curses in low, raspy voices. Her favorites were the Summer Islanders, with their skins as smooth and dark as teak. They wore feathered cloaks of red and green and yellow, and the tall masts and white sails of their swan ships were magnificent...
Cat had made friends along the wharves; porters and mummers, ropemakers and sailmenders, taverners, brewers and bakers and beggars and whores. They bought clams and cockles from her, told her true tales of Braavos and lies about their lives, and laughed at the way she talked when she tried to speak Braavosi. 
Hence why is the Braavos storyline my Favourite out of all other Arya arcs.

Rhaegar and Lyanna is my second favorite couple after Jon and Dany and I am really really excited to learn more about them in the next book. I am very sure we will, that gorgeous calendar art of them together cannot be a coincidence. Hopefully GRRM will clear up these misconception that Rhaegar didn’t care about Lyanna and was only using her to get the third child because he is prophecy driven and obsessed. And hopefully confirm that Elia was in fact not at all humiliated by Rhaegar and Lyanna. People have this misconception that Elia is some pure dutifully princess who loved Rhaegar and he was an asshole who spurned her (didn’t help that Dumb&Dumber had it said that Elia loved Rhaegar romantically). But as GRRM confirmed, their relationship was complex. They were very fond of each other but they were not romantically in love. I believe that Elia might have known about Rhaegar and Lyanna’s relationship and actually was okay with it as long as her children were not neglected and stripped of their birthright. I like Elia but she has stans that are just like Sansa stans (though she wasn’t a selfish bullying brat like Sansa). So I just hope that we learn more about what happened between Rhaegar and Lyanna in the next book. Based on that art though (which is actually official) I think it’s all but confirmed they had deep powerful love for each other (and soon Jon and Dany will have that too 😊)
Yup. That's pretty much it.
Rhaegar and Elia were unfairly put in a loveless marriage, but I think they made the best out of it overall. And they were said to be fond of each other. I have no doubt they could be friends as well.
Let's never forget the Princess of Dorne only wanted that match because Tywin had spurned her, thus shattering any prospect of Cersei marrying Rhaegar. It baffles me, because she knew about Elia's health condition... and that Rhaegar and her would be require to provide heirs. She most likely knew about Aerys II's deteriorating mental health too. But she willingly put her daughter in this situation to soothe her hurt ego.
Tywin is another pricky. There was no need to order the murder of Elia and her children, as Rhaegar was already dead. But how could this monster forgive a slight, right?

I know I'm not the most active on here, but I'm putting in work elsewhere 😩 Red is the idiot, my reply is in white.
"Contrary to the other answers here, Dany’s not a great ruler. She’s impulsive, inept and, though well-intentioned, has a self-righteous streak a mile wide. It’s not misogynist to point out her actions leave Astapor a hell-scape, that she uses forced labour without pay in Mereen (there’s a word to describe that, it starts with S), and that she is frequently too quick to use violence to solve problems, especially as of the end of Book 5, where she outright decides to say ‘F peace!’ and starts burning shit."
● Wrong. Daenerys has a council made up of both rich and poor whom she always takes into account when making a decision. This is a girl who let a man spit on her in court and merely had him removed from the temple. A boy lunged at her to attack her and again, only had him removed. She plants trees and beans, has irrigation canals built, and she DOES pay her men to work until the gold runs dry, she then pays them with food and shelter. They have a choice, it is not slavery, and her freedmen STILL love her despite the hardship as seen in Tyrion's Winds chapter. They are crying out for her to come back and smash the slavers once again. She trapped herself an an unhappy marriage and locked up her dragons in the name of peace. She learned her lesson from Astapor, that's the entire reason she stays in Meeren, it's not like she kept on doing the same thing after, she refuses, and Astapor haunts her throughout her chapters. Nowhere in book 5 does Dany start burning stuff down because "eff peace" NOWHERE. I read her chapters all the time, that is false.
"Dany had red flags(and she had plenty)? Book! Dany is worse. She has no qualms whatsoever with slaves being rounded up en masse because it’s Drogo doing it with the intent of earning her Westeros. She’s willing to let starving slaves sell themselves back into slavery as long as she gets a cut from the earnings."
● This is just blatantly false. Unlike the show, the reason Drogo's Khalasar attacked the Lhazareen was because ANOTHER KHAL was attacking them first, Drogo surprise attacked him to gain more respect and steal his victory. The moment Dany realized all of the terrible things happening she tried to convince herself to ignore it for all of 30 seconds before putting a stop to it. Her power was dependent on Drogo, she was nothing to the Khalasar without him, so she had to work within his power to protect the women she saved. Also, the slaves were not starving, Meereen had freshly fallen and the slaves who wanted to sell themselves back into slavery were "gently born" bed slaves, scribes, and teachers, who saw a better life that way. She freed them to give them choice, she was not going to force them to remain in Meereen knowing that war was coming. Also, it was Missandei, a former slave, who suggested taxing the slavery to deincentivize it and Daenerys put that right back into Meereen's economy. She never pockets any gold, her goal in Meereen is rebuilding.
"She has a wineseller’s daughters tortured before the man’s eyes because someone murdered two of her Unsullied in his wine shop: nothing ever comes out of it. Oh, and she’s doing it because one of her favorite slaves is murdered… on the other side of the city. She’s willing to impress the slaves she supposedly liberated into working for food and water in her public works projects, and somehow not see that literally is slavery."
● Daenerys approved the use of torture *once* in the series because 9 people, including an outspoken leader of the Yunkish freedmen, were murdered in a single night. She wasn't a "favorite slave" she was a leader on Dany's council. There had been many more murders before that and they had no leads. Torture falls within the accepted values of society in ASOIAF; Crow cages for villages (Catelyn wanted Theon in one), Ice Cells for the Night's Watch (also Qhorin Halfhand tortured a wildling to death), Sky Cells and an abusive inkeep for The Vale, the Black Cells and torturers for King's Landing, I could go on. Stannis tortures Theon and lets people be burned alive, The Manderlys have a torturer named Garth, the Faith utilize torture for information, even King Jaehaerys the Conciliator used torture to get information. And above all of what I just listed, Daenerys is the first and only leader in the books to openly condemn and ban the use of torture afterward. She recognizes that it is useless and cruel. Again, she paid them wages until she was besieged and the gold ran out, she pays them with what she has. She DOES NOT force anyone to work, you're using the exact argument that Xaro, an unrepentant slaver who compared slavery to rain, tried to use to convince Dany to allow slavery again. I think you're missing the point. Her freedmen still love her and want her to rule despite the hardship, NO ONE is calling Dany a slaver in the books, not even the people who hate her. They all hate her because she is a liberator.
"Hell, her whole ‘kill a city of innocents’ schtick? She’s already done that in the books. When ordering her brand new Unsullied to sack Astapor, she ordered them:
“Slay the Good Masters, slay the soldiers, slay every man who wears a tokar or holds a whip, but harm no child under twelve, and strike the chains off every slave you see.”
A tokar is a clothing that in Astapor is uniquely worn only by the freeborn. You claim show! Daenerys went batshit: her book counterpart effectively ordered an army to kill every man in a city that wasn’t a slave or wasn’t dirt poor or a hard laborer, irrespective of whether they actually owned slaves, including children above the age of twelve, and those under that age unlucky enough to look a bit old for their age."
● A tokar can ONLY be worn by slavers. Know why? Because it takes your hands to hold it in place, only people who do not use their hands because they have slaves to do everything for them can wear it. It is the symbol of a slaver. Also, "harm no child under 12" DOES NOT mean "kill everyone over 12". In her society, a boy is considered a man at 14, they begin training with sword and shield long before that. Doubtless, young boys would try to fight the Unsullied, but she didn't want them harmed so she gave a rough age of accountability on the spot. I feel like people intentionally misread this to villainize Dany even though the entire reason she wanted to free the Unsullied was to save children from torture. She is constantly contemplating her want and love for children, you have to think about these scenes in the context of her character, Dany would never want children to be slaughtered. However, I think the most important thing to acknowledge when it comes to Astapor was that Dany learned her lesson and decided to take the next city without laying a hand on them, then stayed to rule in Meereen to stabilize it.
There is no meticulously built up madness arc, at all. The point of George's key 5 are that they are the underdogs of society who defy the expectations of their world at every turn, and even though some are hated, they will be the ones to rise up and save the world from the Long Night. George is not pessimistic, he's not centrist, and he certainly believes in righteous war. At its heart, ASOIAF is still a fantasy series, George just doesn't brush over the hardships and ugly truths like most fantasy novels do. Most of your evidence is easily disproven by the text, I'll whip out book quotes if you want me to.

PTRR Bonus Chapter Update and Preview
I know it's been many months since I finished the main story of PTRR and promised a bonus chapter. The good news is I have been writing it (I took a short break for a few months for literally no reason other than I didn't like where the chapter was going and I wanted to redo it but was sad about needing to redo it). It's currently five pages long (one more than a usual chapter) and will be a few pages longer, estimating about 7~10 total. Since it's been so very long, here is the first page. It isn't 100% final, I may still change things here or there, but it should give you a good idea of how this chapter is going to go. I hope you enjoy it.
It was early February and the entire world was gray. Snow blanketed the ground while clouds covered the sky. The sun was a blinding force that blended the colors together in a dizzying wash of light. This bright exterior was a beautiful facade, disguising the darkness that consumed the village- and the castle that stood to guard it.
Jamie, the gardener (you know the one), paid no attention to any of it. No, she was far too busy dealing with three rowdy daughters while their mother was away on business. They got restless during the winter months, seeing as they couldn't go outside, and Jamie felt pity for them. Though at this point that pity hardly mattered. The drawing room they occupied was swiftly being demolished (and it wasn't yet due for renovations).
Currently, they were fighting over which one got to fetch dinner.
Daniela thought it should be her, because she was the favorite and deserved it. Cassandra demanded she be given the chance, because she never got to do anything fun. While Bela tried to logic her way out of the situation because her sisters were making a mess and she'd inevitably be the one to have to clean up after them.
Jamie was just trying to remember who did it last, but the shouting (and throwing of things) made it hard to think.
"Why do you always have to ruin everything?" Cassandra shouted at Daniela, throwing a half-full cup of coffee that was sitting on the table (which happened to be Jamie's at one point, but now it belonged to the floor).
"I ruin everything? You just ruined the rug!"
"I will make you clean that up!" Jamie tried her very best to supervise, but babysitting was not in her job description.
"How about we race for it?" Cassandra was always so eager to prove herself.
"I'll win!" Daniela was ready for the challenge.
"I never lose a hunt!"
Dani and Cass raced out the door, shoving each other every five feet. After they were out of view there was a strange buzzing sound, but that was easily ignored.
Jamie called out after them, "Now you better get your act together before your mother gets home!" Alas, it was no use; they were already long gone.
Jamie looked at Bela, as Bela looked at her.
"Oh my dearest little Bee," Jamie mused dramatically, "Sometimes I think you're the only reasonable person here."
"I'm glad someone finally noticed."
They both laughed.

again pls let me be w the shows i watch lol
more Thoughts
okay also watching episode 2 again of this season and the tinhat is fully fucking on
WHY does ted care SO MUCH abt trent?
he says yes against everyone's wishes
trent just keeps staring at ted the whole time waiting patiently for his answer he HAS to know everyone is trying to get ted to say no to this idea
ted's SO excited to see him
he mentions a baggie of his hair ties in lost and found?! either it's true and for some reason ted made note of it, or he's poking fun at trent for having an incredible head of hair. lol
then beyond that
the thing that got me and made me wanna think out loud
was the exchange w roy in the locker room
"your ego is abt to jeopardize a lot more than one football game, okay?"
oh REALLY ted? HOW MUCH MORE? WHAT EXACTLY IS THAT MORE?
my god the tinhat it fits so snugly i love it
trent waits patiently awkwardly in the locker room for him and roy to come back out like my god
also i'm just.
okay he also--this is SO tinhat.
in rebecca's office
they mention handfuls
ted's like "never a handful of skittles, though, the dye gets all over your hands and it's sticky. and you CAN print that."
[the tinfoil hat turns rainbow]
we need another way to refer to ppl who are having fun w crackships or batshit fan theories etc. even THAT needs a different name. alas, it's almost 5 am and i'm way too tired to think of any.
ANYWAY.
then my favorite little bit
trent's whole thing yada yada yada you're doing this bc of rupert mannion
"yeah basically"
"love that"
WHOMST ELSE WOULD LOVE THAT EXCEPT FOR SOMEONE WHO ALSO HAS AN EX (HUSBAND) THAT THEY'D LOVE TO PISS OFF?
i'm JUST SAYING.
that man has NO wedding ring and a YOUNG daughter.
he has that beautiful hair and a silly swaggering way of walking
his style is ridiculous
he uses and carries RAINBOW MUGS
he simply raises his eyebrows and keeps walking, A Change Man, after seeing colin making out w michael
also interesting that everybody's in fic and stuff being like "oh he calls him coach lasso"
no he doesn't he literally says "goodnight, ted"
he literally says ted
also just those LOOKS in that conversation
my god mmmmmm i have never been so tinhatty.
except for spn and tbh i Was A Fool. this time i'm just having fun.
they made/confirmed two characters as canonically queer! I AM SIMPLY HAVING A GRAND OL TIME WAITING TO FIND OUT WHO ELSE IN THE SHOW MIGHT BE!!!!! WHO WILL JOIN THEIR RANKS?!
mayhaps the "fancy" man who ted complimented as their first interaction who has a young daughter, no wedding ring, and no evidence of an ex, who reacted w the aplomb of a seasoned homosexual upon seeing colin and michael?
I'M JUST SAYING.
i could watch episode 2 over and over and over again
jamie and dani being friends is the best thing and jamie being rightfully irritated AND a bit jealous abt zava? excellent nuance.
he's right! they don't need him! but that comes from a place of awareness abt the team and caring for them, AND a place of jealousy bc HE wants to be the star player on the team. (along w dani and sam, of course, as much as he rags on them)
loved that bit.
anyway.
trent crimm, homosexual. love it. that man? he's queer.
i had forgotten abt keeley bc i was just like "yeah, yeah, plausible deniability, a lot of straight women talk like that"
i had brushed off colin bc it was one or two throwaway comments or camera framing and he was sort of the butt of a few jokes, an unserious guy.
but now?
my god.
and TRENT?!
i'm just.
HOOOOO BOY.
ALSO
THERE WAS ANOTHER AMSTERDAM REFERENCE IN EPISODE TWO.
the snowglobe in barbara's office that the camera most closely focuses on is AMSTERDAM. IT'S FROM AMSTERDAM.
like holy fucking shit this next episode is going to explode us all, isn't it?
i am. EXPERIENCING.
MANY EMOTIONS.

@gaynessisabear101 : Heyo I was wondering does y/n ADHD? and If they do like how would all the lords and the daughters react to y/n finding out they have ADHD? Also I love your posts, they make me laugh a lot
Wow, this one is interesting! Full disclosure: I do not have ADHD and am not neurodivergent. One of my brothers has autism and the other has ADHD and is also on the ASD spectrum. Most of my friends irl are neurodivergent, so I’m going to be drawing from all of their experiences for this one. Please enjoy!
Alcina:
Tumblr media
While Alcina is glad to have some clarity on why Y/N behaves the way that they do, she really don’t give a fuck. Y/N is Y/N and that’s enough for her. She could do with less of Y/N meticulously organizing their action figures and more of them clearing the mountain of dirty underwear that they can’t seem to pick up off the floor near her side of the bed, though…
Donna:
Tumblr media
Listen, Donna doesn’t like to make assumptions, but for her? This was pretty obvious. Donna takes it upon herself to make Y/N the snuggliest weighted blankets which make Y/N’s brain kinda go brrrrrr. Donna is patient with Y/N when they are struggling with staying focused or just wanna fucking bounce up and down until they collapse from exhaustion.
Karl:
Tumblr media
Okay, don’t judge Karl, but his first thought is that ADHD is some kind of superbug or something. He goes nuts and starts disinfecting the factory before telling all of his soldats and lycans to put on a mask (Except for Sturm because… Propellor head?) Y/N laughs and explains what ADHD is and how it’s different for everybody. Karl offers to crack open Y/N’s skull and take a look at their brain to see if he can figure out a solution… Y/N hasn’t been back to the factory in a while.
Moreau:
Tumblr media
Sal used to be a doctor before the mutation, so he’s come across a few people who had ADHD in the past. He finds the neurodivergent brain to be superior because of how creative and smart people are who possess it. Once, Y/N told Sal a story about how they hyper-fixated for so long on a new comic book series that they literally passed out from hunger and dehydration… Sal immediately asks for a demonstration.
Bela:
Tumblr media
Bela is so supportive of Y/N. Whatever they need, she’s got them. Literally the mom girlfriend. She will gently remind Y/N to get up and stretch or use the bathroom when they are totally engrossed in something. One of Bela’s favorite activities is watching Y/N get their “zoomies” out. She likes it when they collide head-first with her sisters as they run down the castle hallways. This makes her laugh until tears stream down her face.
Cassandra:
Tumblr media
When Y/N first tells Cass about their ADHD, she says that she will allow it. Like, miss ma'am, you’re going to let Y/N have ADHD? How generous of you (Note the sarcasm). What exactly is the alternative? Wait, never mind. The answer would probably be to murder them (Murder usually solves her problems). Anyway, Cass finds out one day that Y/N significantly calms down when she lies on top of them (Like a weighted blanket). She’ll deny it, but she likes being snuggled like Y/N’s personal teddy bear. It makes her feel loved and needed.
Daniela:
Tumblr media
Not to come to any inaccurate conclusions, but *Ahem* Dani is 100% on the neurodivergent spectrum! Even in the game Dani is the sister who fidgets the most and has trouble staying on task (She can’t decide if she should just attack Ethan during her boss fight or shut the window to seal in the warmth. It’s adorable in my opinion). Y/N and Dani like to try fidgets out together and see what the other thinks about them. Dani loves pop its. She has a green one in the shape of a gem because it’s so on-brand.

GENRE: FANTASY, ROMANCE, COMEDY
Status: Ongoing
A/N: Hello everyone this is the only time that i got my free time so yeah I hope chapter 3 will satisfy you thank you.
PS: this was written way back then so sorry for the bad grammar (⁠・⁠∀⁠・⁠)
Celestine's POV:
Chapter 3:
As I walk in the mansion's hallway i already hear the noise from the lounge "looks like my family are here already" chia whispers to me and obviously cause i can hear tita Zyrha laughing, you may think that our families is well mannered and polite well that's a cap every end of the month the 2 families are gathering and combining their magic to make an clue to who will be the next descendant of the light, every family is hoping that one of them can be the descendant. This ritual started since the day that i was born. "Hey Zyia greet your aunt and uncle" I bow in front of tita Zyrha and shake their hands as an mark of greetings "this is a lot for just an greeting Zyia" my mother look so happy holding the diamonds that chia gave her "how about give me some also Zyia?" both me and chia turn head towards the voice owner I left my jaw hanging seeing Alfreya Sun for the first time "greet me also Zyia, you know i smell favoritism" and once again we're shocked to see Allyana Aelius Infront of us "Hey Celestine I thought you're not an sorcerer huh?" huh? so she is really an sun "I'm not an sorcerer i'm a mage" I said sarcastically "well you are but stop using sarcasm it's kinda insulting" she smiled at me "You too i don't know you're an family member of the stone's" while she's staring at chia, our mothers frowned "How did you know them Dani?" Mrs.Sun spoke "they're my friends mom" "Oh I didn't know that the daughter of Alfreya is this friendly" Mrs.Aelius spoke "How about you Damiel do you got to make friends as you promised?" Mrs.Sun ask the guy "She got an snake Mrs.Sun!" my friend shout excitedly what do I expect from her nothing new "What do you mean Zyia?" "Well Ms.Snake is sticking with her and probably because that girl's a bitch" Daniela spoke and everyone's confused "don't address me as Mrs.Sun call me auntie you too Celestine" i'm amazed by how calm and elegant she speak "stop calling kate a snake" the guy behind her spoke "oh do you find her interesting did she use some sort of magic on you?" my friend laugh "she's a snake and wow first name basis you're that close?" daniela laugh with chia "it's rude to call someone snake even though it's her last name she did not wish to have a snake on her." this guy is cold "we're just addressing her right and it's also rude to call someone by her first name it can make someone uncomfortable even though she didn't wish to have a snake in her name you though" I rolled my eyes feeling irritated "stop arguing kids go out first we're gonna start the ritual" my mother but in.

Chapter 2: Beware of The Kims
At this point, Nabi was used to navigating school on her own. She had a couple friends from class and the extracurricular courses, but she wasn’t the type of hanging in packs. She was a silent reader, and a silent everything, actually. She liked to sit at the back of the classroom where she could simply take notes and not ask questions.
Nabi usually walked to the cafeteria with her two closest class friends during recess and lunchtime. Though on the days she needed to be alone, she went to her favorite hidden spot in the library, next to the Religion section, which everyone ignored.
One of those days, she managed to escape her friends for some alone time at the library, only because she had one objective in mind: finishing a novel she was too ashamed to be seen reading in public.
Lee Dani: Did you finish Chapter 13?
Ahn Nabi: I’m on it, sh!!
Lee Dani: omgomgomg
Lee Dani: aren’t you at school?
Lee Dani: you little perv! Hahaha
Ahn Nabi: shut up
“Excuse me?” she heard someone call. As fast as she could, Nabi shut the book closed and threw her phone to the floor, right next to where she was sitting. “Do you know if we’re allowed to eat in here?”
She didn’t even lift her gaze; she was too ashamed to look someone in the eye after what she had just read in the last few pages.
“It’s just an apple, nothing smelly or anything,” the guy said, unaware of how uncomfortable she was.
“I mean, as long as no one sees you, I don’t think you’ll have a problem,” she said, doing her best at remaining calm. Just as she met the guy’s eyes, however, she started freaking out again. “Kim Seokjin?”
“Sorry, who are you?” the guy seemed very confused, not expecting to hear his name out of her mouth.
“I literally had dinner with you and your family the other night,” she said, a bit annoyed.
“Oh, you’re Mr. Ahn’s daughter,” he said with a weird smile. “Nabi, right? You know, you’re basically the reason Mom made me come here,”
“To the library?” she asked, very confused.
“No, to this school,” he chuckled awkwardly.
“You study here now?” she tried not to sound too rude, failing a little. “How did you manage to get an admission in the middle of the term?”
“By taking an exam?” he frowned a little, not appreciating her tone.
“Aren’t you supposed to be in college now?” she asked.
“I… lost a year,” he muttered, becoming a bit smaller. Nabi felt bad for interrogating him like that, realizing just now that this was their first proper conversation.
“You can eat in here as long as it’s not smelly and you pick up your trash,” she changed the conversation out of nowhere, picking up her bag, ready to leave. “See you, then,”
“Sure,”
Ahn Nabi: guess what?
Lee Dani: Did you finish the book?!
Lee Dani: What did you think about the boat scene?
Ahn Nabi: what boat scene?
Ahn Nabi: No, I haven’t finished
Ahn Nabi: Seokjun’s brother is at school
Lee Dani: Doing what?
Ahn Nabi: Studying, apparently
Lee Dani: Beware of the Kims!
“So, Mr. Kim’s youngest son rolled in my school,” Nabi said as soon as she joined her dad in the front seat of his car as he picked her up.
“Yeah, they’re friends with the principal. They’re letting him finish by credits,”
“What does that mean?”
“It means he only needs to attend certain classes, present the exams, and hand in some work,”
“That’s not fair!” she grunted. “You know, most of us have to study our asses off for years. He just shows up and they let him in?”
“You better be nice to him,” her dad warned her. “He is not your competition, he is your ally,”
“If he’s trying to apply to at least one of the colleges I am, then he is a threat,”
Nabi’s dad laughed, though she was not joking.
“I’m sure he’s not in your field. From what Mr. Kim told me, he’s supposed to run the business in a couple years. So, no need to worry about him becoming a neurosurgeon,”
“That’s not what I want to do,” Nabi frowned at her dad, tired of him not paying attention.
“Oh, isn’t it?”
The next time Nabi saw Kim Seokjin was at school again. She and her friends were waiting outside of the laboratory.
“Are you sure he is in our year?” Nabi’s friends Yuna and Eun-Chae were gossiping about boys, as usual, as Nabi went through the reports they had been studying the previous week.
“Well, he’s in my Photography Class,” Eun-Chae said. “Jungwon said he is in his team for the mid-term report,”
“Did Jungwon say if he is single?”
“Yuna, you have a boyfriend,” Nabi laughed, finally joining the conversation.
“We’re not in the best of terms right now, anyway,” Yuna said. “Besides, did you see the guy?”
“What guy?” Nabi asked.
“Why is your head always in the clouds, Nabi-ah?” Yuna whined. “The guy in the cafeteria this morning,”
“I didn’t have lunch with you today,” Nabi simply said.
“Didn’t you?” Yuna asked; she wasn’t the brightest person, but Nabi liked her. “Well, there was this Greek god a couple of tables away from us. Eun-Chae says he’s new,”
“He joined the Photography Class last week,” the other, much calmer girl said. Nabi didn’t need more details; she just knew they were talking about Seokjin. Still, for some reason, she decided not to tell them they kind of knew each other.
After classes, she confirmed her theory when her friends went crazy about the guy who was walking to the bus stop.
“It’s him!” Yuna squeaked. “Gosh, he even walks like a god!”
“You guys are nuts,” Nabi rolled her eyes.
“Come on, you have to admit he is handsome,” Eun-Chae nudged her, trying to get her to say it.
“See you tomorrow,” Nabi walked to the parking lot, where her dad was already waiting for her. She appreciated how her dad always made the effort to pick her up, knowing it was their daily bonding time. “Hi,”
“Evening,” her dad greeted, passing her a smoothie he bought for her on the way there. “Just talked to Mom,”
“How is she?”
“Good, she arrives tomorrow,”
“When are you guys leaving?”
“Friday. Are you sure you can’t come?”
“I have exams on Monday, I mean I could go but I can’t risk arriving here late on-”
“Is that Seokjin?” her dad interrupted her as he saw his friend’s son sitting at the bus stop. “What is he doing there?”
“Waiting for the bus, perhaps?” before she knew it, her dad was rolling down the window as he parked in front of the guy and a few other students.
“Isn’t that Kim Seokjin!” he cheerfully greeted the boy, who seemed taken aback by the sudden recognition.
“Hello, Mr. Ahn,” the guy clumsily bowed his head.
“I thought you had a car, son,” never in her life had Nabi heard his dad call a random guy ‘son’. He was acting just like Yuna and Eun-Chae, fangirling over Kim Seokjin.
“Uh, I had a problem with tires,”
“Dad, we’re not supposed to park here,” Nabi whispered, making sure the guy couldn’t hear her.
“Well, what are you doing there? Get in!” Mr. Ahn said, unlocking the doors.
“Oh, don’t worry, the bus will be here any minute now,” the guy said, clearly uncomfortable.
“Nonsense, we live in the same neighborhood. Get in!” Both Nabi and Seokjin knew at this point that Mr. Ahn wasn’t moving until he got into the car.
“Thank you,” Seokjin said as he got into the back seat. “You really shouldn’t bother,” “No problem at all!” Mr. Ahn said, finally driving away. Nabi decided to fix her eyes on the road; maybe if she didn’t move, she would become invisible.
“You already know Nabi, right?” her dad said.
“Yeah, we met a couple times,” Seokjin cleared his throat, thanking they couldn’t see how he awkwardly he was blushing. He wasn’t good at small talk. “Hi, Nabi,”
“Hello,” she said, almost in a robotic way.
“How is Yongsan treating you? Is it much different from Hanlim?”
“Uhm, school’s good. I didn’t really go to Hanlim a lot,” Seokjin said, clearing his throat again.
“I guess you were too busy being a star, right?” Mr. Ahn laughed with that awkward loud-dad-laugh that made Nabi a bit embarrassed at times. “Well, if you ever have trouble at school or need help, don’t mind asking Nabi for help. She’s top of the class, you know?”
“Oh my God,” Nabi actually sighed out loud, thankfully, no one heard her.
“You should give him your number, honey-girl, in case he needs anything,” Nabi felt sick, actually sick. She felt like she could vomit if the car stopped moving, Why on Earth would her dad use that creepy nickname in front of a stranger?
“Thanks a lot,” Kim Seokjin said. “I’ll keep it in mind,”
“Come on, mouse, give him your phone,” she would have jumped out of the car if it hadn’t been for the red light that made them stop. Nabi didn’t know what to do, she simply passed the guy her phone and let him type his number. She didn’t make eye contact, not once during the 20-minute drive.
“Thanks, I saved my contact as Kim Seokjin,” he said in a small voice.
“Ok,” that’s all she could say. Thankfully, her dad continued his conversation with the guy in the back seat for the rest of the ride, while she kept on reading the book she kept hidden in her backpack.
“Oh, you don’t have to take me home, I can walk from your place,” Seokjin said, and Nabi wondered whether he was just as eager to get out of the car as she was.
“Nonsense!” Mr. Ahn said, and Seokjin knew by now there was no use fighting.
Nabi knew her dad’s friend lived close, but she didn’t know how close. It was ridiculous that they literally lived a couple blocks from each other, and still, every time Nabi’s dad visited Mr. Kim he took the car instead of walking.
“Thanks for the ride, Mr. Ahn,”
“It’s nothing, seriously,” Nabi’s dad said with his big smile. “Please say hi to your mom and dad from me,”
Just as if he had been summoned, Mr. Kim came out of his house, with a similar smile to that Mr. Ahn was wearing.
“What are you doing here? You’re ruining my front lawn,” Mr. Kim joked.
“I found the prince without a carriage, so I decided to bring him home safely,” both fathers laughed, but Seokjin and Nabi didn’t. They were too embarrassed to even move.
“Are you ready for Belgium? It’s a big one, isn’t it?” Mr. Kim had decided to continue the conversation with Nabi’s dad, forcing his son to stay seated for another awkward minute.
“Yeah, but I know we’ll win the case. There’s no need to worry, boss,” Mr. Nabi confidently said.
“The family is coming with you, right?”
“Only my wife,” Mr. Ahn said. “The princess is staying in the castle,”
How on earth was it possible for her dad to keep embarrassing her, even though she was doing a great job at pretending she wasn’t there.
“Well, Ahn Nabi, you’re more than welcome to join us for dinner while your parents are out,” Mr. Kim took Nabi by surprise as he spoke to her directly.
“Keep an eye on her, and tell me if she decides to throw a party,” her dad joked and she just wished he stopped.
“I’ll ask the prince to keep an eye on her,” Mr. Kim said as he winked at his son. “Good thing you already know each other,”

I have Cassandra Dimitrescu brain rot and it literally Won’t Leave Me Alone so here are some headcannons:
she’s mean as FUCK bc she doesn’t know how to deal with her emotions in a healthy way
very mean to her sisters too but like... (affectionate)
also she’s the only one that can bully them, if anyone other than herself even LOOKS at them funny, that person will definitely go missing
“nobody bullies my siblings, except for me”
has Protective Older Sister vibes even though she’s not the oldest and is extremely protective of her family
particularly when it comes to Daniela. Cassandra has like a sixth sense where she can tell whenever her younger sister is in danger and goes RUNNIN to check on her.
Cassandra, weapon drawn: “DANI WHATS WRONG ARE YOU OK??”
Daniela, swinging from the ceiling by her foot: “Oh, hello sister. It seems I have stepped on my own trap.”
Cass, exhausted, pinching the bridge of her nose: “Daniela. What the fuck.”
Cassandra gets her down and smacks her on the back of the head (but not before subtly checking her for injuries)
she has a very hard time opening up to people bc she feels weak when she does and she HATES feeling weak
the only person she has ever cried in front of is their mother
and speaking of Alcina, Cassandra definitely gets her protectiveness from her mother. those two turn into a pair of rage monsters whenever someone they care about gets hurt.
one time Bela got severely injured by a lycan and Cassandra was like: “Those stupid mutts, i’ll kill them all, I swear!” and moves to leave but her mother stops her, “Hold on daughter, it’s quite rude of you not to extend the invitation.” and they both leave, eyes completely black with rage and murder. Daniela stays with Bela but waves them off happily in the background. “See you soon! Bring me back a lycan heart!”
does not know how to deal with her anger and sometimes has to punch the brick walls in the basement just to release some of the energy
her knuckles are almost always cut up and bruised bc of this
Alcina has walked in on more than one of her outbursts. She takes her daughters arms so she stops punching the walls, and pulls her into her chest. Cassandras breathing is erratic and she’s shaking violently with rage.
“Shhh my love, breathe.” Cassandra exhales in a way that Alcina can’t tell if she’s crying or seething. “What’s happened?”
Cassandras breathing speeds up through gritted teeth and she pulls against her mother, as if trying to get back to the wall. “I d-didn’t know what else to do.” her voice is hard like she was stating a fact.
Alcina strokes her pinky finger down her daughters nose, a trick that’s always worked for keeping her angriest at child at bay, and holds her there until she’s calmed down.
Afterwards, they don’t talk about it. Alcina knows Cassandra is already too embarrassed so she only wraps up her knuckles and says, “I think I heard Daniela call out for you a little bit ago, she had that tone of voice she gets whenever she’s in over her head.”
Cassandra just scoffs, “She’s just an idiot.” but moves immediately so go check on her younger sibling. She stops just before she’s out the door, “Mother I....” Alcina sees the hidden gratitude in her daughters eyes. “I know, dear. Go.” And her middle child nods and bursts into a cloud of bugs.
so.... there’s that.
I may be projecting but who knows.
ANYWAY
can throw a Wicked punch
very competitive and a sore loser
her competitiveness comes out the most when Bela is involved
Cassandra thinks Bela is their mothers favorite and that creates a lot of tension between the two of them bc Cassandra low key looks up to Bela (but will never tell her that) and wants to please mother just like she does. She feels the anger under her skin whenever their mother praises Bela instead of her
(Cassandra craves praise just as much as Bela but will NEVER show how the lack of it effects her)
Mean Lesbian™️
so, so touch starved
when anyone outside of her mother or sisters touch her softly she snaps bc a) she’s not used to it and b) she get filled with complicated and confusing emotions that she doesn’t know what to do with
quickest to yell at a maiden whenever they mess up
when she’s in a good mood she can actually be very playful and teasing (“rawr! >:D”)
hums to herself when she’s bored and sometimes (rarely) sings when Bela is playing the piano
the best at makeup out of the three daughters
Daniela always begs her to do her make up for her and Cassandra just pretends to be annoyed and does it anyway (she secretly loves it)
Bela also tentatively asked one time and Cassandra was shocked because Bela never asks for favors
they sit in silence while she applies Belas makeup but eventually asks “Why ask me to do this now? There had been plenty of other opportunities before.” her voice comes out more defensive than she wanted it too, but she leaves it be.
Bela studies her with calculating and knowing eyes before looking away and opening her mouth “You love doing this. I can tell.” Cass stops moving her hand. “I see the proud look on your face when Dani runs to show Mother your work. I just...” Bela shrugs, “want to be a part of that too. For you.” She glances back to her dark haired sister and shifts in her seat.
Cassandra didn’t know how to react, let alone respond. The lump in her throat was wide and pushed against her windpipe. Her and Bela had never really gotten along, but hearing this from her older sister felt like a small weight was lifted from her shoulders. It felt like acceptance. She cleared her throat and gently grabbed her sisters chin to pull it back into place. “Well maybe if you stopped squirming, i’d be able to get it done faster.”
Bela shoots her a very small, understanding smile, it was more of a smirk really, but it got the point across. I love you. No matter what. and Cassandra felt like she could finally breathe.
(I love sibling dynamics leave me alone)
claims she’s a top, is actually a switch
impatient as hell
Smooth Talker
her ability to talk her and her sisters out of sketchy situations has saved their asses more than once
“Hey Cassandra, would you punch Uncle Heisenberg in the face for $100?”
“I’d roundhouse kick him in the face for free.”
cue Alcina spitting up her wine.
probably swears the most too lol
*stubs toe* “Son of a mother fucking bitch that shit HURT.” Alcina: *raises eyebrow* “Well I certainly didn’t teach her that vile language.... Heisenberg.” Heisenberg: ......
knows how to wield a butterfly knife like a complete badass
Alcina: “CASSSANDRRAAA”
Cassandra: *instant fear*
uhhhh that’s it. did I go overboard? probaby. do I care? absolutely not and i’ll most likely be doing this again very soon lmaooo.
also p.s. send me more headcannon requests for Cassandra and i’ll answer them!

Oh, I have a request! How about the daughters (who love the reader very much) always taking the reader and practically stealing her every time she’s with Alcina? (Cuz we need more daughters and reader interaction 🥲) And maybe to the point of our precious big dommy mommy gettin ya know ya know jealous? ;)) HAHGSHAHAHAHA, that would be hilarious to see. Anyways, hope you’re havin’ a great time~ ✌🏻till next time!
I’m so sorry this took me so long anon! I’ve gotten more requests than I ever thought I would and I’m starting to get behind. This was a really sweet one to put together though- really enjoyed it!
Slight Gore warning for Cassandra! Nothing too detailed but it is referenced. If you don’t like it just skip her
Bela
Being the eldest sibling has made her the most level-headed of the three. After decades of ending squabbles between her younger sisters, she’s discovered the pleasures of retail therapy. 
She takes great joy in popping off to neighboring villages for a few hours perusing the various aromatherapy shops.
And she takes even greater pleasure bringing you along. Dragging you, really. Even if you’re otherwise busy. Sometimes she’ll buy you a few scents or lotions that catch your eye.
She calls it “compensation for being dragged away from Mother,” but really she’s just happy to spoil you
Also loves asking you for literature recommendations. As vast as the castle’s library is, Bela had read through most of the literature over her lifetime
Is absolutely fascinated by modern day novels. 
She takes you on a day-long shopping spree visiting five surrounding villages just blowing through money buying almost every book that peaks her interest
Most of your time together is spent relaxing in the library talking about your novels. 
Eventually you’ve collected enough books to make an entirely new section in the library just for the two of you.
Even when cuddled up with Alcina in the library, there is simply no escaping Bela when she’s looking for recommendations or simply someone to talk to
At the end of the day, you really didn’t mind. You were more than happy to spend time with all the girls and happy they wanted to spend time with you. 
You knew as annoyed as Alcina got when interrupted she found it incredibly sweet that her daughters will go out of their way to be with you
Cassandra (Cassi)
Suffers from middle child syndrome hardcore
She’s a bit too old to understand Bela’s interests, but too old to join Daniela in her delusional fantasies. So naturally, she tries to cling onto you.
At first she tries to convince you to enter the basement with her so she can show you her “Art Gallery,” but Alcina forbade it. So things between you and Cassi went quiet for awhile
Alcina says Cassandra is an artist of some sort and all her work is done in the basement
After about a month of silence Cassandra came barrelling into your private study with some kind of canvas in her hands
“I’m sorry I haven’t been around much, y/n, but I’ve been working really hard on your gift.”
You gush, “oh Cassi, you didn’t have to make me anything. That’s so sweet of you.”
She eagerly flips over the canvas to reveal her painting of a human heart.
It was beautifully detailed, the heart really jumped off the page against the black background...but something was off about it. It took a minute for you to realize it but once you did, you couldn’t stop staring. The heart was painted with blood.
You were lost for words. 
“Well?” Cassi, asked with a broad smile on her face. “Do you like it?”
All you could do at first was nod you head. “Oh Cassandra, its gorgeous. You really made this?”
The girl’s eyes were rapturous. “It’s my favorite hobby! But this particular piece was my first try at observational painting. I hope I did a good job...”
“Are you kidding Cassi? It’s beautiful! I’ve never seen anything like it. Can I hang it on my wall?”
She lunges at you, wrapping you in a suffocating hug. “Thank you, y/n. I made it a heart so you know how much we love having you here with us.”
Tears were starting to prick your eyes. “I love you guys, too.”
You looked up lust long enough to see Alcina walk in your study, roll her eyes and walk right back out.
Daniela (Dani)
Being the youngest Dimitrescu definitely has its advantages and Daniela knows how to use every single one.
Gets away with absolutely everything and anything under the sun. Even things her older sisters could only dream of getting away with and it irritates them to no end.
Daniela is definitely the most daring of the three. Always pushing her boundaries with her mother and will go out of her way to annoy Alcina just for funsies.
Is comfortable (and has) appearing in your bedroom while your, erm...busy with Alcina. Literally grabs you by the arm and swoops you away in a swarm of moths giggling the entire time. You hear Alcina shouting obscenities as you’re taken away.
You’re both thoroughly embarrassed.
Daniela seems to be, just like her mother, very needy. Attention starved if you will. So of course, she’s in need of your presence every hour. Sometimes more. 
And for the dumbest freaking reasons!
“Y/n come quick! Look at the birds in the garden. They’re so pretty!”
You laugh at her excitement “They’re crows, Dani. We see them every day.”
Other times she will drag you to her room and pull out her vast collection of weapons and tell you different stories associated with each one. You loved hearing how passionate Daniela was about her collection.
On a few rare occasions, she even gifted you a set of daggers, or crossbow, or whatever your favorite weapon is.
“You don’t own any y/n, which means you’re vulnerable to attacks. One day I’ll teach you how to use them.”
BONUS: Alcina being absolutely done with her girls not sharing
Late hours of the night are Alcina’s favorite time of day
She gets to relax in bed with you all to herself while shedding away all the stresses from the day. 
More often than not she’ll lazily sip a glass of wine and reread her favorite novel to you while you’re nestled in her lap.
It was the only time of day she knew she had you all to herself
...usually...
One night all three of her daughters barged in your bedroom arguing who you would spend time with first. Alcina tried shouting over them to take control of the situation, but none of them were even paying her attention.
Situations like this call for drastic measures.
Alcina covered your ears and shouted at her girls from the top of her lungs. Once she knew she had their attention she reached over to the nightstand and pulled out a...spray bottle? They were about to laugh at her before she explained that the spray bottle contained holy water.
That scared them enough to make them back up a few steps. Daniela even hisssed at her, baring her fangs like a feral animal.
“I am tired of you three stealing away my y/n and I’ve reached my breaking point. This is the one time of day I’m allowed exclusive time with them and I will not have you getting in the way of that.”
You couldn’t process what was happening before you. Was Alcina really prepared to spray her own daughters with holy water just because she wouldn’t get her cuddles tonight? Really?
Daniela felt bold tonight. “As if you would actually do it. I bet that’s not even holy water.”
Alcina only arched a brow. “Well you’re more than welcome to come see for yourself, Daniela. By all means.”
The redhead was about to do just that until Bela pulled her backwards. “I guess we can wait and see y/n tomorrow. Goodnight, mother. Goodnight, y/n.”
As soon as Alcina knew they were gone she fell back onto the mattress, pulling you with her, peppering you in kisses. 
“Darling,” you ask. “Is that really holy water?”
She chuckles into your neck. “No, it’s not, and they should have known that. If it were I wouldn’t have been able to hold it without it making me feel ill. But they’ll figure that out eventually and once they do they’ll be back.”
“What then?”
“Pelting them with fake silver should do the trick.”
