@derangedthots
i likely won't be active(posting, messaging, answering asks) for a while yet but i just wanted to pop in real quick with a blanket statement that CTF isn't abandoned and that i'm still working on the next update/s. infinite hugs and thank you's to everyone who checked in and sent their well-wishes<3
your wife,
derangedthots
i'd avoided saying anything on this blog before partly bc i haven't been that active on it for a while, partly bc i don't usually bring politics here, and partly bc i wanted to wait until i had a new chapter updated to make my stance known(as that's where i can reach the largest audience since not everyone who's read FMF or CTF follow me here) but i think remaining silent - and especially as long as i have - lends itself to appearing like i simply don't care and/or that i support the ethnic cleansing and genocide israel's government has committed to achieving in palestine, and i don't want that. i never want that. politics are personal, human rights are personal, and this blog and this user very much stand with the palestinian people in their fight for ceasefire and liberation.
to everyone who celebrates, i genuinely do hope you have a personally merry christmas, but it rings at least a little hollow to give the normal generalized greeting without acknowledging the abject slaughter happening in the place where the holiday's central figure was born. still, i hope the season is kind to all of you and that the world will be kinder to all of us tomorrow than it was today or yesterday. from the river to the sea, palestine will be free🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸
with love, derangedthots💕💕
i have a particular fondness for scenes in media that read like sex scenes even tho no sex is actually happening...which is also why the last jacemond scene in ch1 of CTF is one of my fav things i've ever written😶🌫️🥰
For the two consorts au, what if instead of Aemond or Luke getting Jace pregnant it was Baela 🤭🫣 Luke knowing the baby is actually Baela’s when they’re born but doubling down saying that he’s the sire since the baby is Laenor reborn 🤭🤭🫣 Meanwhile Baela is the superior third spouse because she actually gives Jace massages (both sexual and non sexual 😏) Aemond’s the only one who doesnt know about Baela and Jace so he’s rethinking everything he thought he knew about Jace and Luke’s father.
anon let me just - let me just kiss you all over your face bc that!! that is so good!! and baela absolutely WOULD
aemond and luke were too far in their own heads worrying abt each other when they should've been worrying abt the real enemy, the most pressing foe, baela mf-ing targaryen. she's been planning this since she was 13!! this was always gonna happen!! she's the Best and Only candidate for jace's hand!! (it's also important to me that rhaena knew her plans and just... didn't tell luke until he found out himself bc she's like 'lucerys if you're fool enough to forget baela, you're fool enough to deal with the consequences')
luke doubling down in front of daemyra & council, exercising all his skills in gaslight gatekeep manipulating all while keeping his very sweaty hands concealed behind his back💀💀 meanwhile aemond is sitting in front of balerion's skull feverishly inventing punnet squares LMFAOOO
#jokesonthem bc baela's working on giving jace twins while they're all busy, she at least has her priorities in order🤭
I don't know if you're familiar with the concept of yandere, but I can clearly see the greens and the blacks as yanderes for Jace.
Romantic Yanderes: Aemond, Aegon II, Baela, Daeron, Cregan and Lucerys
Platonic Yanderes: Rhaenyra, Daemon, Viserys, Corlys, Rhaenys, Joffrey, Rhaena, Helaena, Aegon III, Viserys II, Laenor, Harwin, Alicent and Otto
It may seem strange, but I can see Alicent creating an obsession with Jace when she sees in him the younger version of Rhaenyra, the one who was her best friend and unlike what happened with Rhaenyra, she decides to “save” Jace and do everything to keep him in the path that she considers correct. She sees in him a second chance, and she will be damned if she loses it.
Otto, on the other hand, sees in Jace a way to get what he wants, which is to put Aegon II on the throne and prevent Rhaenyra from assuming her birthright. After all, if Jace and Aegon get married and Aegon usurps his sister's throne, even more people would be willing to support him, since both bloodlines will be united and will continue on the Iron Throne through their children, which would be the perfect solution for the misogynistic lords of Westeros who do not accept a woman on the Iron Throne and to avoid a war, in addition to putting Rhaenyra in a complicated position, against her own son. In his ambition, when Otto begins to observe Jace more closely, he realizes how intelligent and capable he is as an heir to the throne, Otto wishes his own grandson was like that. Later, when his admiration, initially spiteful and then genuine, intensifies, he becomes even more invested in his plans. After all, if Jace is (unfortunately) not his grandson by blood, he will become one through marriage.
Imagine how the Alicent x Rhaenyra and Daemon x Otto conflicts would intensify in this scenario? While Alicent and Otto are extremely invested in "saving" Jace from Daemyra's "vile influence", Rhaenyra and Daemon are willing to do whatever is necessary to free their eldest son from the Hightowers' clutches.
Poor Jace! He would be the center of the war. The greens and the blacks would not just be fighting for the iron throne, but mainly for him.
!! i'm very familiar with the concept of yanderes (it's one of my fav flavors!!🤭) and anon your mind!!😳🧠🤯🤯 i do think out of all of them otto might be the hardest sell/maybe the least attached yandere bc jace definitely has his own opinions, for all that he values outside advice, and otto's main issue with seating daemon or rhaenyra as heir was they were too strong-minded for him to fully control/coral. so yeah i think that would be a point of contention at least early on but you're right and i don't think it'd be impossible to change his mind (jace and his silvertongue is very important to me and i'd love to see it pitted against otto LOL)
PLEASE otto and alicent having delulu saviour complexes abt jace meanwhile daemyra are protective parents goes hard asf fjsk but poor jace😭😭 him being the center of the war would wreak such havoc on his already-present issues and complexes🥹 he's having a terrible time but we! We are having fun! so sry jacaerys my love but you're just gonna have to hang in there💀💕
mindlessly scrolled through tiktok today and saw a rhaewin edit of harwin saving rhaenyra during her and laenor's wedding feast + harwin beating up criston (set to the 'i need a big boy' sound) anyway my thoughts immediately turned to jace's kingship and i went
"jace enters a room but the first thing ppl see is joffrey's shadow and the first thing they hear is the sound of aegon iii's armor"
basically joffrey most closely inherits harwin's sheer mass+height meanwhile aeggie grew up to be part of jace's kingsguard (also #justiceforjoffreyvelaryoncommanderofthecitywatch)
I LITERALLY just watched this video this morning. I know exactly which one and I loved it so much

i just looked it up and tom is my age...me and cregan are same-age besties..how do i feel abt this
What if the dance of dragons happened differently? Jace, like Aegon the Conqueror, has two consorts. His uncle Aemond and his brother Lucerys. The Greens, represented by Alicent and Otto, want Aemond's child to be the heir, while the black team, represented mainly by Daemon, Corlys and Rhaenys, thinks it should be Luke's child. While both sides struggle to define the succession, Aemond and Luke are more committed to fighting for Jace's preference and being the first one to get him pregnant. Poor Jace... since the wedding, seeing him limping around the Red Keep has become worryingly frequent 🤭🤭🤭. I can see him in the queen's chambers, helping his mother with paperwork (playing his role as heir) and enjoying these rare moments of rest 🤣
HELP the truckload of politicking happening in the palace, all the servants involved, so SO much gossip and somehow even more money than gossip being traded during bets behind the scenes, only outdone by the sheer amnt of fucking aemond and luke are putting jace through #prayforjace'sbackand[redacted]. and rhaenyra - who had three similarly voracious lovers at one time in the form of harwin, daemon, and laena - just sitting there watching jace help her with work and thinking "you look like mommy when she was younger baby...make sure they give you regular (nonsexual!! you need rest!!) massages after at least"
oh i'm having big girl™ narrative thoughts rn
au where Viserys never shows up to defend Nyra's claim in that episode and Luke loses his place as the future Lord of the Tides, Aemond is happy because he feels that finally he and his bastard nephew are on the same page (two second sons with no titles or anything to their name) only for Nyra decide to engage Luke and Jace to make her sweet boy prince consort. Everyone is confused by the decision, Aemond looks like he's sucking a lemon and Luke is the only one satisfied with the change of plans
luke: i don't want to be lord of driftmark😥🥺😣
also luke, smirking and rubbing his hands together while thinking up all the ways to make jace scream: this i how i can still win
aemond: *throws table* ARE YOU FUCKING JOKING-
Daemon twines their fingers together over Jace’s mark. The heat burns through him, flushing his cheeks as his heart pounds. He’s caught in Daemon’s gaze, back pressed against cold stone and the warmth of Daemon’s body looming over him. His hair glows silver in the shadows, gently brushing Jace’s cheeks as Daemon leans his face close to his own. Lips glance against his, whispers of hot breath heating the air around them.
“Little dragon is there something you need to tell me?” murmurs Daemon. His eyes flicker to Jace’s lips, but his gaze settles firmly on Jace.
Jace stares wide-eyed and mute. He thinks of how these words have chased him through all his life. He looks carefully into the faces of all those he meets. As much as he enjoyed Aegon’s company when they were children, he knew the man was capable of enjoying the torment of others. Aemond was proof of that. Aemond, Jace thinks. When his uncle held that rock over their heads, he thought he was bringing the doom that’s been inked into his skin since birth. The terrible glee and triumph in Aemond’s face had scared Jace, not just for his life, but that the Gods were so cruel to fashion him to a boy so filled with hatred. Would he be yoked to that hatred himself? Would he be pushed into the deepest pits of himself and delight in other’s humiliation? It was a relief that Luke had defended all of their honor, Jace and his dear cousins both when he took that knife and only ripped Aemond’s eye out. Jace won’t ever regret that only an eye died that night.
But Aemond still haunts him. Following him throughout the Red Keep in his last visit, his lone eye fixed firmly on Jace’s every move. Now he chases Jace. He’s taken Luke. There’s no body, no remains of either him and Arrax. Jace wakes gasping from tormented sleep, face wet with tears and clawing at his skin, hoping he could rend the words from himself. Everyday has been filled with dread and waiting to hear those words from a man he’ll die hating. A man he’s destined to kill. And yet.
Daemon still stares at him, he’s violet eyes dark and hungry as he waits for Jace to respond. Jace breathes in shakily, half hope half agony. He’s traded one kinslayer for another, and one wed to his mother. This pushes him to shake his head. No, he won’t be the cause of his mother’s ruin.
Daemon stills. Neither moves for a long moment, before Daemon lurches forward ripping Jace’s doublet open. Jace tries to squirm away, but Daemon already has the words exposed to the night’s air. Gooseflesh scatters across his skin, the cool air brushing against him. Daemon’s hands grip his naked hips, fingers hot brands around the dark words. Daemon presses a nail against the first letters, lightly scratching the mark. Jace shivers, face hot and his pants tighten. He realized in rising humiliation that Daemon’s hold has awakened him from the misery he’s been living since receiving the news of Luke.
Daemon hums quietly. “Ah, this is what has been keeping you from sleep, byka jorrāelagon?” Daemon clicks his tongue. “Jacaerys if you ever hide yourself from me again, you will not like what happens next.”
~~~
If there’s anyone who is going to Mansplain, Manipulate and Murder it’s Daemon and the gaslighting is going to be off the charts. Hilariously what Jace doesn’t know is that Rhaenyra knows about Daemons contingency plan because she’s the one that first thought to do it 🫣🤭 *whispers* with Harwin and Laenor 🤭🤭🤭
Ps I was flirting with you 🥰 everyone needs a bedtime story filled with gaslighting and dark hallway trysts 😘 hope this also makes your heart pound as much as Jace here 🤭
anon, anon my love you can't do this to me i'm actually getting heart palpitations from this omggg jace babe you should probably run away but goodness knows your stepfather loves a chase. i'm not even in this but i feel seduced *fans self rapidly like a victorian woman who just glimpses a man's collarbones for the first time* (ALSO LMAO RHAENYRA BEING THE OG AND DAEMON PULLING A HER I LAUGH)
truly you have bewitched me body and soul fjsks *blushes from head to toe*❤️🔥❤️🔥
Is it just me? My heart skipped a few beats when I saw the photo that Harry shared on his Instagram with the actor who will play Cregan. They seem to have good chemistry together and I can't wait to see them interact on the show 😍😍😍
they looked very cute #oursweetboys and i'm glad they're hanging out and having fun!! and same, i too look forward to seeing how they play off each other in their scenes😆😆
i saw a tweet today with a side-by-side of jaehaerys from s1ep1 and this rhaenyra still from the new trailer
and i kinda *snorts into hand* i kinda had to laugh bc if you think abt it, nyra is - in a way - saera's revenge?? i mean btwn her being a girlchild who grew into the most powerful seat in the realm, her father's seat, and a woman with at least 3 lovers at the same point in time, and then wearing jae's crown?? if i was saera i'd simply never let jaehaerys hear the end of it💀💀🤭💀
hey now🙂 wdym hotd s2 teaser possibly this weekend🙂 what🙂
dropping this excerpt from another jacemond fic idea i didn't end up developing beyond the summary👉🏻👈🏻
when jace's words come in, stretching across the intimate dip of his hipbones, they are etched deep. a touch of crimson mars the ink, as if his soulmate's fervor would be enough to carve them into jace's skin. they are writ in high valyrian, in the custom of his house and of house velaryon. but the writing is not baela's and, beyond even that, baela would never be so cruel. "i do not regret killing him, not even for you." jace fears the day he finds out who his soulmate is referring to.
Ummmmmm what?!?!? I love this idea so much. Jace loving him even after would build for such guilt and anger at himself I love it
Aemond the audacity of you
Also what are the words coming in in context to? Like what kind of soulmate au are they in
i wrote this when the show was airing so it's been some time but i think it was smth along the lines of a soulmate au where the words aren't for the first meeting but for a defining moment btwn each soulmate pair. i didn't develop it far enough to decide aemond's words (aka, wtvr jace says to aemond during whatever moment makes the most impact on him) but jace's soulmark being steeped in tragedy was a brainworm i couldn't get rid of. oh but if i ever did more for this, i'd probably make aemond's mark smth really sweet/validating (all in all deeply positive) that jace says to him bc i'm mean like that LMAO😔👹😈
Of course Aemond’s would be such sweet and validating words and he would hate them for eternity for being a burden on him because he can’t accept the fact that he was made to love jace (but he can’t help but do it anyways) and Jace is just filled with angst that even after everything he could never be enough for Aemond to change his opinion about them and I love the whole tragedy of it all
"#they're so in love but don't know how to be in love" yes yes this is absolutely it
smth smth jace hoping there's light at the end of the tunnel aka some positive way to spin his soulmate's murder, whoever they are and whoever they killed. but when the moment comes, he's already lost luke and it just. cuts deeper. digs the pain in further. makes it worse, makes it bleed more than it did even when the raven came to him in winterfell. and this is the reason - why his words are tinted crimson, the color of a life taken. of his kin stolen. smth abt jace waiting his whole life for the other shoe to drop. my sweet sweet boy just hoping, praying to all the gods he knows, that it isn't as horrible as it sounds without context. years spent wondering, worrying, and to have all those worries validated in the worst way possible, to have a heart that has broken a thousand times through the course of his short life break once again bc this. this is smth he can't excuse, can't see some goodness in. can't forgive. it's smth that can't be moved past
vs. aemond looking for the one person who understands him. the hope in aemond's words being of a diff sort; years spent waiting for this person whose love for him reached backwards through time to mark his skin and teach him patience. patience hard-won, moment by moment, bc this? this love? it means inevitability. that lonely and prideful boy and then the angry, prideful man, the aemond who believes the whole world is against him but not his soulmate, never them, they see the greatness he's capable of, they see aemond targaryen properly and the gods have declared this person is for him(perhaps the only thing truly his own beyond vhagar)...only to unexpectedly find that soulmate in his oldest nephew, who he hates but whose life he's also jealous of...the same nephew who's brother he's just killed
*rubs eyelids*
*takes deep breath*
*sighs*
and the love. the love is unlikely, really truly against all odds, secret and maybe even unspoken of if even privately acknowledged, like embers beneath ash, but it is there. and it is and was and is still is even now-
doomed.
Okay now I need to know what possible words Aemond could’ve had for all of this to have come crashing down on him because it is the same for him.
Never having understood what pure and selfless love could be, always desiring the kind his nephew had received, Aemond had only fear of it when it finally came. No matter how reassuring those words were, no matter how much he knew his soulmate would only love and accept him, he was and still would be the damages boy from his childhood who could only look from afar at what he wanted, and oh how he wants. He wants to give everything of his, carve out heart out and present it like a gift the rotten thing it is and give it to him.
Jace on the other hand is going through pure and undiluted torture; the idea of living someone who could never love them enough, could never be his because how could someone who’s suppose to be his soulmate cause him agony.
It wasn’t always like that for them, they had affections as kids, before the words came before the driftmark night happened. There was an affection they shared, a comradery and a silent hope. The chance as kids and a possibility of something maybe one day. Until the words, there had been hope but after, the moment his eye was sliced, the moment the punch was thrown, the words doomed them since.
They were meant to love and burn together, but didn’t realize how painful it would be, how destructive and how much loss it would have.
Jace his birthright; his brother
Aemond: his heart and soul
But both have always been stubborn and full of rage at things so maybe they were doomed from the start. Maybe that’s why the gods made them for each other, if they could not love one another they may destroy each other because everyone else would pale in comparison to the one they desired.
Hi how are you, I saw this here and thought of Jacemond and You immediately.
"actually the best ship dynamic is i would kill for you. i would kill anyone who layed a hand on you. please let me kill for you. please let me show my devotion by dirtying my hands, it's the only way i know how. Let me destroy anything that hurts you. i've hurt you too. i'm destroying myself."
I screamed internally when I read it.
Any thoughts?
yes. my thoughts are yes and Yes and also YES again just *cries screams claws hair* yes.
