Your first days in your new castle are critical. Do not waste them on unimportant details; begin as you mean to go on. Be especially quick to determine the penalties you need to inflict on your new subjects. You do not wish to give the impression that you are indecisive.

Not much of a royalist myself, but sad for her family and fascinated for the historical implications. She worked hard, especially during the war. Rest in peace lilbet.

pyramid game is such a perfect little drama for the sapphics because you've got a whole demented psychological thriller going on about high school girls creating a whole fake social class system that results because one bored little princess bitch thought it'd be funny, and you've got all these dynamics that can only be boiled down to some kind of love story because like. ye lim and eun jeong's dynamic? the princess idol and her athlete bodyguard. soo ji and ja eun's dynamic? the cold mastermind and the compassionate heart. even whatever da yeon and seol ha have got going on? typical hitter and loyal dog dynamic. the list can go on.

In a fight, skulker accidentally throws Danny through a natural portal, and now Danny is stuck at Pluto, what the hell you bony bastard?! So now he has to fly all the way back to earth and hope the satellites don’t pick him up, but it’s actually Hal Jordan who sees him, and when later telling the justice league about a glowing boy in space who doesn’t need to breath and definitely wasn’t a lantern, zatanna cuts him off to mention the urgent need of addressing the insane amounts of dead following what feels like an insanely powerful god of death that definitely wasn’t in this dimension the day before. Bats is obviously the first one to notice they’re talking about the same person.

Back with Danny, he can’t seem to find his way around the states with how tired that flight made him, so he crashed down onto a farm on accident, while two sweet parents see this glowing boy fall from the sky and decided yeah. Might as well have another.

Clark, meanwhile, has no clue that the god of death sending the league into chaos is the same kid his parents have been wanting him to meet back at the farm.

so do you think he succeeded?

As much as I'm not wild about the fact the Devs are making another new Legend, I think it would be a fun concept if Timekeeper and Xylitol were like parallels because time and space

Not a ship though

I'm thinking more like annoyed co-worker and annoying co-worker lmao

What did Garmadon drag Vinny into?? 

brennan lee mulligan: old king cole was-

me: omg a mechanisms reference

brennan lee mulligan: -a merry old soul and a merry old soul was he so he called for his pipe and-

me: king you’re getting the lyrics wrong this is so embarrassing for you

Oh, how angsty it will be to have Jong-in to become a Ruler to replace Christopher, who was killed by the Iron Body Monarch, and is on a mission to avenge the fallen hunter, unaware that he must kill both Tarnak and his successor, Eun-seok.

Cue the battle with the monarchs and Beast Successor!Yoon-ho fighting Ruler!Jong-in for the sake of not killing Eun-seok, whom he already lost before and can't bear to lose again.

"Listen, Yoon-ho, that hunter you're protecting? He's not the Eun-seok you knew."

"He's still my best friend!"

"He and that Iron Body killed the previous vessel!"

"I'd still won't let you."

A battle between vengeance and protection and with a dash of feelings, maybe?

the true vampire king...

*Dick reveals himself as the Vampire King by ripping Bruce's heart out of his chest* Everyone else: *gasp* Tim: Wow, it wasn't Cass? Cass: Cass: Wait. You thought I was the Vampire King? Tim: I mean, yeah. Jason: Yeah, I was thinking that too. Cass: You too? Barbara: Well, with your costume you could easily hide your vampiric nature until it was time for the big reveal! It just made sense! Cass: Who else thought I was the Vampire King?! *everyone raises their hand, including Bruce* Cass: Are you kidding me?

I’m actually curious to see if, and honestly hope, in s2 (whenever that may come out. Studios pay your writers and actors) we get some sort of callback or allusion to the rumor that Jacaerys tried to convert Cregan from the old gods to the faith of the seven.

Not because I care about the gods, outside the religious symbolism they bring. I only want to see people’s reactions. Namely the ones who act as if Alicent is the first woman to ever openly practice the faith. Because I have a feeling those same people will paint Jace possibly doing that as endearing versus Alicent who gets painted as a monster for her connection to the faith. The most we see Alicent doing a redecorating her home. Mind you, not even every room because you can clearly see the tacky tapestries in Viserys’ room in ep 8. Plus we see her praying and wearing religious iconography. Things that are not out of the ordinary… at all. She’s honestly your textbook highborn noble woman during that time. She was born and raised in Oldtown ffs. What is she supposed to follow if not the faith💀

She gets seen as this horrible zealot out to destroy the Targaryens through the faith, and to me that is just indicative on how badly people misinterpret Alicent’s feelings/motivations.

People can have their problems with the writing in hotd. I know there are certain things I have problems with myself. But when can we start being honest about how a lot of the conversations that are regurgitated and argued about day after day have less to do with the writing, and more to do with bad faith viewing. People are watching to see what they want to see, not what is actually in front of them.

Anyone with an objective view of Alicent would be able to tell how much she clings to the faith for salvation and hope. She does it to feel close to her mother, and very kindly/cautiously tries to help Rhaenyra with that too. She then reaffirms her faith after 1. She (imo justifiably) loses her shit at Driftmark and feels guilty about it, and 2. Has to marry her children to each other. Something she expresses thinking is immoral in the past. We even see her cut her hair, more than likely as a means of punishment and repentance. She’s miserable and has very few lifelines to hold onto.

How that gets twisted into her being a bigot because she doesn’t want to see dragons having orgies on her walls is beyond me.

Also the idea she is trying to bring down House Targaryen is nuts, but also laughable. Because between her and her actual Targaryen husband, Alicent is the one affirming her childrens’ Targaryen heritage. She makes sure Aemond knows he will get a dragon one day. She makes sure Aegon gets Blackfyre and his namesake’s crown. It seems like Aemond, and more than likely her other kids, know Valyrian. Ironically, the most anti targ (and frankly valid) sentiments we get are from Viserys. He speaks on the doom, fears what is to come, and how they never should have messed with dragons.

Alicent ‘let the people remember the ancient strength of House Targaryen’ Hightower is not the Baelor y’all want her to be. And if she was, it would’ve worked in her favor more. People tend to leave out the part where the most beloved Targaryens (by their people) were partly that because of their connection to the faith. Ya know the thing Targaryens also practice.

So glad we bought our hovel when we did but mortgage rates are still a bitch.

it's fun to watch the world crumble around you and you just know someday you're going to be screwed over too but it's nice to see all the bad people get screwed first

Inktober Day 3 - Don’t Forget

For my annual Oct. 3rd piece I thought about what Al’s body must have looked like when it first appeared at the Gate and made myself sad, whoops!
