Why Nettles is so Pyramids by Frank Ocean Coded.

Now that I'm officially back, I've decided to prove myself and my love for this character by using one of my favourite artists, Frank Ocean.

@bohemian-nights is one of my oldest mutuals and seems like the best person to tag for this wild ride. Also, we had an interaction about it once.

Before I begin, I'm gonna put a great video analysis of this song because you all should listen to it.

youtube

Now let's get started.

What is Pyramids by Frank Ocean?

It's basically a nine minute story like song that focuses on a 'Cleopatra' like figure in two different time periods. One as the original 'jewel of Africa" being stolen from a Pharaoh by a man promising her the future and one as a sex worker working at "The Pyramids" to live day by day. She remains a mystery throughout the entire song as we are told about her through the experience and expectation of her by different Narrator's, a servant, the Pharaoh, her love interest/ the thief, A pimp that sleeps with Cleopatra and her unemployed boyfriend.

All that aside, go listen to the song. It's one of if not Frank's best and it's an experience the first time for sure.

Swiftly moving on,

NETTLES AS PYRAMIDS

Okay, the breakdown was important because I'm gonna break it down similarly to reflect Nettles.

ACT 1

PART I

Think of this as a reflective part of the story. A summarization of what's to come in the story.

"Set the cheetahs on the loose" is equitable to the death decree on Nettles.

"There's a thief out on the move" reflects both Sheepstealer and Daemon.

"Underneath our legions view" both Rhaenyra and the Mootons who are sworn to her. Daemon is also directly beneath Rhaenyra.

"They have taken Cleopatra" in the song you learn that Cleopatra goes willingly, but from this perspective, she is taken, similar to the accusations against Nettles with both Daemon and Sheepstealer.

"Run, Run, Run, come back for my glory" is Rhaenyra saying that she needs Daemon back at her side but also an allusion to the idea that Nettles might not be a dragonseed, and is a question to the legitimacy of Targaryen Exceptionalism.

"Bring her back to Me" the decree call for Nettles head but also the idea that Daemon would be free after her death.

"Run, Run, Run, the crown of our Pharaoh/ The throne of our queen is empty." Daemon does take the place of a "queen consort" during the dance with the added title of protector of the realm. It's important to note that the dance was a war to see who would sit the iron throne, and with that in mind, Rhaenyra is being challenged, with her crown being challenged, Daemon is also not there, leaving the throne empty.

The repetition of Cleopatra takes different meaning to what's missing.

PART II

The first 2 lines are in reference to Alyn and Addam of Hull as the bastards of Corlys and who are now black in the series. All three of them (even Alyn) are now viewed as precious things in the 'future' as recognised dragonseeds and riders. Later on, their loyalties and position in this new place are also questioned "in a rocky world."

"Our skin like bronze and hair like cashmere" in reference to the new matched appearances of the Driftmark dragonseeds to house Velayron as all are played by black actors (allegedly).

The rest of the verse is dedicated to the "Fall of King's Landing," where Queen Rhaenyra Targaryen ascends the throne notably with the Dragonseeds flying and ensuring no challenge to her reign as soldiers in the war.

Daemon Targaryen famously takes Nettles to Maidenpool "underneath our legions view, they have taken Cleopatra" to put a stop to the burning of the Riverlands. The thief in question is still Nettles as she is accused of enchanting the prince.

PART III

Now, this time, the refrain is a set up to the prompt given to us by Mysaria, "Even now, she shares your husband's bed, and soon enough she'll have his bastard in her belly."

The jewel of Africa, however, refers to the decree where Rhaenyra says Nettles used spells to bind a dragon to her. "What good is a jewel that ain't still precious?" is a constant question throughout fire and blood and with the Targaryens who were very selective with who got a dragon up until the reign of Viserys. The idea that only Targaryens can control dragons leads to their power and without that illusion, it is questioned. Nettles is proposed as an active threat to this in the narrative.

"How could you run off on me? How can you run off on us?" is Rhaenyra in both reference to Nettles, alluding to the betrayal she thinks that has occurred and Daemon, with their marriage and rule over the kingdom. Her decree specifically wished for his return.

"You feel like God inside that gold

I found you laying down with Sampson and his full head of hair."

Daemon gets Nettles gifts and clothes to wear during their time in Maidenpool. He dresses her differently and seemingly spends all his time at her side. There isn't a mundane activity described that he doesn't spend with her.

Mysaria, Rhaenyra, and the Mootons agree to the idea that she was near or in his bed. The only reason the decree isn't followed is because the Mootons fear the wrath of Daemon, similar to Sampson and Delilah, where his weakness seems to be nothing until they learn about his hair, they fear him until that point. Unlike Delilah, Nettles is only accused of harming Daemon and is ultimately protected by Daemon's legacy, "6 men or 60 men, he's still Daemon Targaryen."

The Black Queen is Rhaenyra in this instance with bad dreams being the decree and the potential barm thar is wished on Nettles by her. This part is from the perspective of Daemon.

Part IV (ACT 1)

At the end of their story, Nettles is sent away for her protection by Daemon, who then decides to fight Aemond Targaryen, alone, an established suicide mission in the narrative. Aegon can also be the referenced "he" who killed Cleopatra

Later on, Rhaenyra is killed by her brother Aegon and his dragon Sunfyre. Theories surrounding alternate timeliness where Daemon went back often end with Rhaenyra surviving the dance at his side.

The serpent in her tomb can be Mysaria, who led Rhaenyra down the path of destruction against the advice of more trusted advisors like Corlys. Cleopatra historically died with a snake bite.

ACT 2

Part 1.

Perspective change.

Daemon Targaryen spends all his time with Nettles. They eat, bathe, sleep, and fly together each day, returning to Maidenpool, where this behaviour is documented by the Maester.

Their dynamic is consistent with the Mootons where they fly and track Aemond, returning to Maidenpool to defend the Mootons in exchange for hosting them. She is, in fact, working.

The song alludes to Cleopatra in the future being pimped out, seen through the perspective of either a pimp or client alluding to her boyfriend.

This perspective could also be taken by the Maester recording these interactions between the prince and Nettles, watching her, and hearing of their activities through the maids, recording it.

Part II

This part is only given to Daemon Targaryen.

The baths they took were described in the narrative as such,

"Soaping her back or washing the dragon stink from her hair, both of them as naked as their namedays."

Now the idea that they were actually sleeping together in light of this information is an easy conclusion to come to which informs the rest of the verse until, "ride, cowgirl".

Her love in the narrative is no longer free because men can pay to sleep with Cleopatra, and a shared love within the relationship is now a job for her but still a way to connect for him.

Within the fire and blood narrative, however, Nettles love is no longer free because of the danger of the mission they embark on every day. If they meet Aemond on the route, she can lose her life in the fight in exchange for being housed in Maidenpool, a transaction to continue this illicit relationship away from the eyes of the court. Her love was also always a danger as she is an unknown mistress of the Prince Consort of the Realm, a risky position at any time but especially during war with the threat of heirs and the grief and wrath Rhaenyra experienced during this time.

ACT II (Part 3)

In the end, Nettles gets away. The singers say Daemon finds her, and they live out their days in the Mountain of the Moon, in the Vale of Arryn where she is alleged to be the fire Witch the burned men worship. She's working at the pyramids (buildings often constructed as tombs for old rulers to ascend from and live on through).

The Hunt - series

Chap 9. Pyramids - Recom Miles Quaritch

hold on to y’all’s panties it’s finally happening, also it’s a bit

pairing - recom miles quaritch x omatikaya!fem! reader

cw! mating, breeding, unprotected sex (idk if that’s a thing for the na’vi), nipple play and whatever else I’m tired

sexual content ahead : proceed with caution!

The forest gave and took, it was home, your home. You relished in the way the forest swayed and stilled as you and Miles took refuge in it. The low hum of life filled your ears as you stopped to listen. It was even more peaceful as you approached the tree of voices. A sacred place for your people, even more so now that the original trees had long since died. These trees were young, still maturing and finding their ways.

It reminded you greatly of Miles, so eager to learn even as he failed. But just like these trees, he would continue to grow, no matter how old he got. He would learn from his mistakes, just as you did.

Even now as he learned not to tug the spirit trees vines. Your scolding quick yet successful as Miles stood right by your side. He watched as you connected your queue to the vine, going silent as you relived a memory with someone.

Miles wondered what you were seeing. He knew it must’ve been happy since you were smiling, a sight he loved to see. When you finally disconnected, you looked up to see Miles lips pulled back in a wide smile, his cheeks plump as he grinned. “What’re you up to Miles.” You teased.

You loved seeing his eyes light up so mischievously. The way his nose crinkled and his smirk widened.

Miles let out a low chuckle, wrapping his arm around your waist as he leaned into you. “Nothin’ just thinkin’ about how beautiful you are.” You giggled and gave Miles a little pinch, watching as he plaid a hand over his heart and feigned hurt.

You two both laughed before delving into soft silence, observing each others faces as the bugs chirped all around. Miles was first to lean in, his eyes low lidded as he pressed a soft kiss to your lips. You immediately cupped his head, pushing your lips plush against his.

It didn’t take long for the kids to grow rougher, you hands wandering each other as you giggled and groaned. Miles, as grabby as ever, slipped his hand under your chest piece and groped your breasts. The soft skin squishing under his fingers. You moaned into the kiss before pressing your belly flush against his, feeling Miles begin to grow more and more excited.

When you pulled away for air, you two stood for a moment, staring into each others eyes as you indulged in the moment. Miles grabbed the back of your thighs before you could voice reason with him. Lifting your body up onto his as he searched for an area to lay you across.

Miles sat down, still holding your thighs as you kneeled in front of him, your legs on either side of his. To Miles, the sight was something straight out of his imagination, your eyes directed down at him as you panted, your top shifted to the side, allowing Miles to watch as your nipples quickly budded to the fresh air.

Miles shook in his place as you slid your hands around his neck and lowered your crotch onto his, feeling his cock grow hard. He nearly came right in his pants when he heard your soft breathy moan. Eyes closed and mouth agape, the sight was heavenly.

Miles almost lost it when you began to roll your hips on top of his, listening as you whimpered everytime his pant zipper brushed your clit even with the barrier of your loincloth. He wanted to tease you but watching you come undone before him touching you was a sight to see for Miles.

Miles then grabbed your hips, pushing them up and away as he leaned forward onto his knees. You were confused for a moment until Miles began pressing you into the ground, his strength so overwhelming as he easily folded you on the forest floor. Once you were laid down, Miles grabbed the back of your knees and pushed them forward until he decided to press them together and hold them with one hand.

With his other, now free appendage, Miles began to untie your coverings, starting with the one covering your dripping cunt. You couldn’t see what Miles was doing but you could definitely guess his expression when he finally loosened your bottoms enough to pull them away. Your cunt coated in your slick as you grew needier.

Miles nearly fainted from the sight. Your pussy produced the sweetest scent that drove him mad. He could hardly describe it other than smelling so pretty and dirty all at the same time. Drawing him in and urging him to take you as you shifted your legs, your slick dribbling down your slit towards your rear.

Hearing you whine, Miles let go of your legs, watching as your pussy lips spread, your clenching hole on display. You were eager, and so was Miles. You let him kiss your cheek as he promised to make it up to you as he unzipped his pants and freed his cock.

He was huge, your expression full of surprise as Miles pumped his member a few times before pressing his leaking tip to your hole. You felt your heart begin to race as Miles ran his tip along your slit, catching when he caught the hood of your clit. You whimpered at the sight, it was dirty and Miles knew it.

You looked up to see a devious smirk on his face, eyes half lidded as he collected your juices onto his cock. “Mm Miles.” You whimpered, catching his attention as you shifted your hips up.

“Yeah sweetheart?” Miles answered, leaving your heart fluttering as you grabbed your queue. Miles seemed to understand right away, grabbing his braid and pulling it to the front. “Tsaheylu, Miles. Bond with me. Mate with me.” You said breathlessly, the action so embarrassing as you said voiced your want to him. You were lucky that Miles could care less in the moment.

Miles watched as the tendrils to his queue flailed about, searching for yours as he brought his braid closer to yours. Before you connected them, Miles leaned over you, catching your lips in a soft, meaningful kiss as your queues interlocked with each other. You both gasped and shuddered, the feeling of sharing your thoughts and feelings with each other so powerful.

Through your mind you comforted Miles, bringing your arms up to wrap around his shoulders. It took a moment, but before you could ask Miles if he was alright, he began to push inside of you.

You gasped, eyes widening as you immediately cling to Miles, feeling his muscles ripple under his skin as you brought him closer to you. You moaned out, feeling Miles begin to ‘bully’ his cock into your needy cunt. He was bigger than you thought, barely reaching his halfway mark when you realized just how heavy he was inside of you. You whimpered at the thought, such dirty things never plagued you before him.

Miles sensed this and chuckled into your ear, relishing in the way your shivered at the action. Finally, Miles was buried inside, his tip squished against your womb as you struggled to take him. You moaned out feeling Miles rock his hips every so slightly, the rest of him pressed against your entire cunt.

Miles wasn’t cruel though, waiting a few moments for you to adjust before beginning to pull out with your signal. You cried out when Miles slammed his hips right back up against you, the sight so vulgar as Miles spread your legs wide to witness your sweet cunt stretched around him. You could almost see it in front of you, cursing Miles for his vivid imaginations as he began to pull out again, just to press himself deep inside once more.

Miles groaned out, flicking his ears in the direction of your cries before listening back in on the way your pussy squelched for him with every thrust.

It wasn’t long before Miles picked up a pace, thrusting slow and deep as he lifted your hips up for a better angle, moaning when you clenched around him. Miles kept his focus on your cunt for a few moments before looking up at you, watching you become undone before him. Your mouth was smacked open as you struggled to find a place to grab onto to keep steady, opting for Miles’ wrists as he bruised your insides.

Miles leaned forward once more, kissing you before taking one of your nipples into his mouth. You whined at the feeling, always believing that only babies suckled on their mother’s breasts. The belief changed quickly as Miles ran his tongue over the bud in his mouth

You moaned out when Miles began nipping at your breasts, the feeling foreign but not unwanted. Sensing your liking for it, Miles nibbled a little harder, wanting to see what sounds he could get you to make.

Miles groaned out, feeling your cunt begin to spasm around him. The walls of your pussy creating more juices as your body celebrated your bonding. You panted out, feeling Miles begin to resume his agonizing pace.

You begged for him to be rougher, to speed up as another orgasm built in your belly. Miles was more than happy to oblige as he chased his own high.

You whimpered and pried your hand from Miles’ wrist, weaving your arm through the two of you as you began to rub your clit. The action tightening your walls as your orgasm approached.

Crying out, you called for Miles, shuddering when you felt yourself cum for a second time, your walls spasming around Miles’ cock as his thrusts grew sloppy and eventually stopped as he buried himself inside. Miles’ cum spurted from his cock all over your walls as he squished his tip against your womb once more. Balls emptying as he rutted into you.

Exhausted you sighed out and let go of Miles, watching him begin to pull out but quickly push back in as cum dribbled down your ass. You giggled weakly at the sight of Miles’ flustered face, almost feeling guilty that he’d ruined your perfect little cunt with his claim.

“Ma Miles.” You reached up to grab Miles’ face, his eyes focused on you as you slid your thumb over his cheeks.

“Y/n?” Miles questioned as he began to take his place beside you. You giggled at his confusion before leaning over to kiss him. Taking his hands into yours, you moved closer to him, intertwining your legs as you spoke to Miles.

“Ma Miles, I love you. We are mates now, I am yours and you are mine. Oel ngati kameie. I see you.” You felt tears prick your eyes, happy ones as you smiled at Miles, his expression softening into a crooked smile.

“I love you, Y/n. Oel ngati kameie.” Miles wrapped his arms around you, pressing his frame against yours as you lost yourself to sleep. His mind was lost to the future, one with you, one where he could be happy alongside you.
