It’s very crazy to me that anyone, regardless who they “support” during the dance, would like viserys. And yeah, I do say this specifically for the people who like Rhaenyra’s character yet champion viserys as this feminist girl dad who loved her no matter what. Both the book and show versions set Rhaenyra up to fail. And probably through watching her dad be incompetent, Rhaenyra put a nail in her own coffin by being so flippant and reactive versus proactive about everything.
Viserys killed Aemma for heirs, leaving Rhaenyra motherless and scared for the future. He married her best friend and first love, maritally r*ped Alicent, and produced more heirs knowing the strife that would follow. He never shored up Rhaenyra’s claim properly. He let her get away with mistake after mistake bc his own guilt ate him alive. When I call Viserys stupid, I do not mean in the traditional sense. He makes horribly decisions but he is fully aware of what he is doing. Viserys was smart enough to know what he was doing when it came to harming Aemma. He was smart enough to know what he was doing when he continued to let Daemon come back despite his behavior. He was smart enough to know what he was doing when he married a 15 year old. He was smart enough to know that he what he was doing when he neglected Alicent and children he forced her to have. He was smart enough to know what he was doing when he named Rhaenyra heir (out of spite and guilt mind you), and then ignored her.
I think a lot of people let their blind hatred towards Alicent lead to them defending people who objectively don’t even have Rhaenyra’s best interest at hand. Viserys is the reason everything went to shit for Rhaenyra.

NBC re-airing Travis Kelce’s SNL ep tonight reads like it’s deliberate.
This was on my go-to site about shows, referring to her personal life as “fall drama”: tvline[.]com/features/taylor-swift-travis-kelce-dating-fall-tv-drama-football-commentary-1235051732/
Yeah, they could’ve had it planned in advance since the football match ups are released so far ahead and they thought it would work well, but I highly doubt it since Saturday Night Live is usually back during this time of year. It just seems like they’re trying to hop on the bandwagon.
I saw on Access Hollywood last night that they were asking Kelsea Ballerini about it since she was the musical guest when he hosted and she jokingly thanked Taylor for the re-run, and Little Big Town was also asked about their relationship, but it’s like why are you asking people about something they probably don’t know about when you could be asking them something relevant to the event that they are there for.
The article calling their relationship a “storyline” and the drama they want to watch is so invasive and weird. Like Taylor isn’t attending games so you can have something to watch in lieu of a scripted drama, she’s there to support someone she’s getting to know. I just don’t understand why it can’t be like every other celebrity that attends a game where they show them before the game or at the very start, say that they’re there and then move on and not once cut back to them. There’s no need to have a camera trained on her to see her reaction to plays, let her be like every other spectator. For what it’s worth, there is plenty of drama existing during the actual game and there’s plenty of actual scripted shows that one could watch to get their drama fix while this season’s fall programming is a little thinner.

Stoic
When Gojo assumes Nanami Kento's lack of PDA for the reader shows a lack of desire for her, a tipsy Kento is quick to correct him.
Warnings: 18+ drabble, Kento goes on a smutty rant
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
'A quick drink' after work had soon turned into two, three, four. Shoko took full advantage of the rooftop bar's balcony, smoking and idly chatting; Higuruma and Atsuya gossipped and quipped, snorting into their drinks; Satoru observed Kento and you keenly behind his dark lens; you stood, excusing yourself to the bathroom as Kento gave you a gentle smile.
"I'm sorry," Satoru interrupted loudly when you were gone, his pot boiling over, "I just-- I just don't get it, Nanami." All eyes were on Satoru and Kento now-- Kento, with one thin eyebrow raised in quiet disdain at Satoru, and Satoru, with his elbows planted forward on his knees in challenge.
A few moments of silence. Kento huffed, "Should I be apologising for someth--"
"--you've been together for years," Satoru interrupted, "and I'm just not convinced. She could be-- she could be a coat rack for all the affection you show her, you're supposed to not be able to keep your hands off her--"
"--you want me to grope my fiancée in public, am I correct--"
"--well maybe, anything to show that you love her--"
Kento laughed out loud, deep and humourless, continuing to chuckle into his glass, scoffing to himself; "Love her," he rumbled, swirling his whiskey, amber eyes flickering and carnal in the firelight.
Shoko had turned, smirking, to watch the scene. Atsuya leaned back, scowling, chewing on a toothpick with crossed arms. Hiromi leaned, glimmer-eyed, into the drama, one hand cupping his jaw and the other clasping his wineglass. He picked up the bottle, slowly beginning to pour another glass.
"I don't love her," Kento spat, downing his glass of whiskey in one smooth swallow, hissing and slamming the glass down on the table, "I worship her. I'm obsessed with her."
Satoru was silent, mulish, as Kento continued.
"I would walk through rains of bullets for her," he mused aloud, "I would cut off fingers with blunt knives--"
"Nanami, alright, I'm sorry--"
"Any second I'm not with her," Kento continued, his voice quieter, darker, the group leaning into him, "is a second wasted. I don't know what point there was in the years I spent without her-- probably just there to build me into even a semblance of the man she deserves--"
"--why are we doing this--"
"-- and when I'm not thinking about talking to her, watching her, being near her, holding her, or-- fuck, just having her look at me goes bone-deep...I spend at least eighty-percent of my time thinking about different ways to make her cum--"
Satoru was blushing now, his face in his hands, while the others leaned into Kento's mild breakdown with awe, "--fucking hell Nanami, I didn't mean--"
"I almost died last week, at work," Kento mused, as a laughing Hiromi slid the glass of wine down the table to Kento, which he caught seamlessly, "because I was too busy thinking about how her mouth had felt around my cock the night before, because I was pondering the many applications for my tie, because I was thinking about how incredible she felt underneath me--"
Atsuya and Shoko whispered together, Hiromi now giggling to himself unashamedly; "Oh he's really going for it--" "I know I know, shhh, let him finish--"
"--and I've been sat here with her all evening, resisting the urge to strip her, tie her wrists together and have her ride me until I go fucking blind, all because of social-fucking-propriety, just for some long streak of jizz like you to say I clearly don't love her--"
Satoru had shrunk in on himself now, his soul quietly leaving his body, mortified and put to rights as Kento tsked, swirling his wine before downing that, too. He accepted the bottle Hiromi slid towards him in approval.
"...it really just is rather rude and presumptuous of you, isn't it, Gojo?"
The group sat in stunned silence as you returned, sitting beside Kento and laying a hand on his crossed knees. You felt the bizarre tension; Hiromi unable to conceal a blush as he looked at you, Shoko giving you a knowing smile around her cigarette, Atsuya unable to make eye contact. You smiled uncertainly.
"...what did I miss?"

Still waters run deep 💀💀💀
