Aphrodite

Goddess of love, lust, passion, beauty, pleasure, sexuality

Love is a confusing phenomenon. It's a thread, a string only achieved through a commoner’s needle. Seemed as though only they were allowed to experience the love she sought. For royalty, it had to be pulled out of the fabrics of duty, pulled and pulled till the thread snaps and the fabric is left in ruins. “Duty is the death of love”

Oh but why? Why must she be subjected to such a fate..such a force..such a burden of the throne of death.

“It’s greater than our wants and desires.” Her father had said.

But how does one thrive without desire? How does one thrive without thrill and passion? Isn’t it mere human nature to want, to crave, to love? Yes. Yes it is. Of course it is. In fact it should be. If she were a son.

Daemon was fun. He was charming, dashing and ..forbidden. Smiles and gifts were exchanged, he took her places where no one would ever imagine the realm’s delight to be. And then he abandoned her.

Was this love? Or was it just fun? Is love supposed to be fun? Is love supposed to be only fun?

Against her better judgement, her younger self became enamoured with the Rogue Prince. But she was to be married to Laenor and it would not have worked. The thoughts of him went bitter in her head. To want, to crave, to love.

A loveless marriage. Tradition. Bound to each other till death claims them. Bound to the wrong person till death claims her.

To have children with Laenor would have ripped the fabric into tiny million pieces. She needed someone to revel in her desire with, someone that could reciprocate.

Harwin was sweeter than she expected, kind and..devoted. She probably broke several laws in her house alone by even feeling lust for him, let alone consummating and having children.

“The realm’s delight” to the “whore of dragonstone”.

Laughable. This was the heir to the throne? To say she struggled through the confines of her narrow reputation, was far too simple. All the great rulers before her were fucking whores. But alas, they were men.

Daemon came back eventually. Far too late. Her hero was here after she was married and had 3 children to and with a different person.

It was disappointing. Or maybe this is how it's supposed to be. He wouldn’t leave her again, would he? He can’t.

If love requires desperation then so be it. There isn’t much left to her distinction.

Ah all is gone to her name but that damned throne.

There were times where she wanted to run away, never look back and flee Westeros entirely. What had duty ever done but restrict her? What had duty ever done but trap her in its confines, suffocate her with its burden, poison her with its expectations?

But the power it would bring. She could relish in it. Revel in it and no one would be allowed to bat an eye. If her name was in ruin, so be it. If her crown shattered, so be it. Duty brought about power. And isn’t it merely human nature to want power, to crave power, to love power?

Tolī mirre, issa se ānogar hen zaldrīzes.

After all, she is the blood of the dragon.

#house of the dragon #rhaenyra targaryen #aphrodite #ITS DONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE #took way too long to get out #also the parallels between Alicent and Rhaenyra with their twisted perceptions of love was really cool to write #its a bit too short but I hope you like it #criticism is always appreciated #first time writing from a team black character's perspective soooo yk #[ • 'house of the dragon' characters as the twelve olympians • ]

finally finished the dtiys that @ask-the-cat-cafe is hosting! honestly wasn't sure i'd make the deadline with finals crunch lmao

#honestly this isn't usually something i'd pick up #but i liked the idea of it and i needed a way to challenge myself i think #i took out a few cats bc i understood the want for visual clutter #but i felt that the original wasn't cluttered with intention if that makes sense?#like the push for getting every character in frame actively hurt its coherency in a way that just made it look muddled #ive never participated in a dtiys before and i had fun!#might try more in the future #tccdtiys #my art #im not gonna look too hard at the mistakes its been SO long since ive done something fully inked colored and shaded

ENOUGHHHHH. anyways i love galo so much ok thats all

"Well would you get a load of this! Looks like the rumors are true!" The blond-haired man's sneer sharpened in glee. "Little baby Damas got himself a Pet Monster!"

Collection of images in roughly the correct order for an upcoming "Raylor is a Dick Waffle" fic, Title Pending.

Wherein Raylor, now the leader of a band of ruthless marauders, end up kidnapping Jak and set him up for ransom, but because Raylor suffers from Chronic Boredom, instead makes Jak fight in their arena for entertainment.

There is some....encouragement in the form of a prototype Eco Extractor Gun they stole from Maia at the beginning of the fic, but I'm sure it'll be fine. Right? Right.

#jak and daxter #jnd #jnd fanart #it took way too long to make this text work out #this is also the fic Damas learns that Jak is his son #so we have that to deal with as well #tw: blood #tw: death #tw: near death #troblsomart #most of these aren't super bad #kid gets some gnarly scars out of it #Maia's here too

I need a completely rewritten teen wolf series with Derek Hale as the main character. I think it would heal me.

#we follow Derek from New York. Laura left for beacon hills. it’s been six years since he was back but he hasn’t heard from her #and hes going stir crazy waiting. he packs up and travels back. it’s almost too much immediately. he still can’t get a hold of Laura #he can’t resist going home. it’s like a natural pull that guides him back. all at once he’s 16 again. staring at the wreckage of his life #deputy stilinski is sherrif now. it’s reassuring in the slightest that the police force seems to have moved on from how corrupt it was #he catches her scent and it’s putrid. bile catches in his throat. he seeks it out. still in denial to what he knows it means.#when he finds Laura it’s like the world ends all over again. he can’t stand to see her like this. he gives her a proper burial.#the best he can do at least #he visits Peter. he’s not the man Derek remembers- so full of fire and cunning. their relationship may have been strained at times.#often Derek felt more like Eve being swayed by the snake than a normal friendship #but this isn’t the sharp tongued uncle who guided him. this is a broken shell. all that remained of his family. he was so lost.#22 but he barely knew how to function without his family- his pack paving the way #Laura handled everything. she got the apartment. she made sure they had food. Derek looks back and feels so useless #he was so lost in his grief. Laura must of felt the same way but she never let them drown in it #she made sure he got his GED. even got him to enroll in community college classes.#he took them online. he never was able to warm up to people the same way. he used to be so full of life. now he just wanted to be left alone #he studied English. never finished his degree. doesn’t look like he ever will now. he can’t go back to Laura and his shared home.#can’t bare to see another shell of a home #he vents to the vacant audience of Peter and his cold fixed eyes #Derek leaves. he wants to promise he’ll return soon #but promises feel costly these days #he decides to go back to the reserve. maybe he can find some clue as to what happened to Laura #someone lured her here. someone who knew them and their history here #his mind went to the worst. Kate. why would she go through the trouble six years later. why wait so long.#Derek couldn’t stomach the thought of facing her. he focused on the woods. the scents were all over the place.#clearly multiple people had been through here recently. two scents were much stronger. Derek follows them #but when he hears the crunch of leaves he realizes why the scents are so strong. they’re still here #he ducks behind some trees. listening in on their conversation. but an echo of their scent catches his attention #he spots an inhaler on the ground. he puts two and two together and swipes it from the leaves.#he comes out once they’re closer. tossing over the inhaler- he figures they’ll leave. dumb kids messing around in the woods #he reminds them this is private property. though that may not be true anymore. he recognizes the scent of a new beta. interesting.
