About me

Hello, everyone!

You can call me Myrtle. I write fic and create funny posts from time to time.  

My askbox is open to everyone! I don’t take requests, but if you have any ideas that tickle my interest I might be persuaded to write something.

Right now, I’m HotD trash and specifically Rhaenicent trash, though I do also post about asoiaf and fire and blood. If you’re here for my sillier posts you can find them under the tag ‘goofiness’.

My fics 

Mutlichapter:

Remorse is memory awake || Complete || 20k || Teen || Modern AU

Alicent receives an invitation for her high school reunion and thinks back to the events of her senior year when she had a falling out with Rhaenyra. Contains multiple flashbacks where we see the high school drama unfold. If you like teen dramas you’ll probably enjoy this. Rhaenicent.

Argumentative Attachment Style || WIP || Mature || Modern AU

Sitcom AU where Rhaenyra is a school counsellor with short hair and pronouns, and Alicent is a recently widowed soccer mom with too much on her plate. Alternating POV. Rhaenicent.

My one shots:

My Enemy Most Cherished || 3k || Explicit || Future Fic

Set during Rhaenyra’s occupation of King’s Landing. Alicent is summoned to the new queen’s chambers in the middle of the night. Rhaenicent.

A Minor Hitch || <1000 || Mature || Canon Compliant

Alicent’s maid has figured out her proclivities. Dark!Alicent. Alicent x OFC.

Call her Mother || 2k || Teen || Missing Scene

Rhaenyra and Alicent have a heart to heart before the royal wedding. (listen this one is some of my best writing and it hasn’t got much love so give it a chance). Rhaenicent.

Surrender to your Senses || 4k || Explicit || PWP

Alicent finds she enjoys getting tied up, Rhaenyra enjoys taking care of Alicent. Dom/sub. Rhaenicent. 

are you lonely just like me? || 19k || Explicit || Modern AU

Features escort!Alicent rekindling her relationship with ex gang member!Rhaenyra, who is trying to go straight after disappearing for a few years. Unfortunately, crime lord!Daemon has other ideas. Rhaenicent.

I think regardless of what you think of hotd you need to agree that it's kind of admirable that they are a UK based production that consistently hires trans actors in both major and minor roles. emma d'arcy is obviously the main example but like how cool is it that they needed a little boy for a small speaking role and they gave that role to a trans kid. when their government is actively trying to make the lives of trans children worse

Opening the AO3 tag of a fandom which was huge in the LJ days is both wonderful and terrible because it’s always like

1. Yes this person did port most of their fic to AO3. But this fic is a sequel to one a friend of theirs wrote and that one didn’t make the jump.

2. This fic is supposed to have art but wherever they were hosting the images went under years ago.

3. One of the big fandom classics made it here but there was apparently at one point more content in the LJ comments. The link is broken.

4. Everyone keeps referencing a particular ship manifesto/influential meta. They’re referring to it by an acronym with no links. It may still be out there but it is unfindable

5. There was apparently a whole community around one particular AU/character interpretation. A single example remains.

"rickrolling is mean" rickrolling is the gentle, kind, prosocial descendant of what we used to do on the internet, which was putting a redirect to goatse in every possible misspelling of a url

[astercontrol]

Rickrolling is deceptive, but it's among the most harmless forms of deception available

in other words, it may tell a lie, but it will never tell a lie and hurt you

HOUSE OF THE DRAGON | Season 3, Episode 1 "Salt and Sea, Fire and Blood"

*widely praised poetic quote in a foreword by a usamerican translator voice* see this language.... it's not like other languages. sometimes it has metaphors. or abstract thinking. sometimes a word has several meanings. sometimes a lot of meaning can be condensed into two words. sometimes those words even have etymologies. sometimes if you translate idioms or break down the components of words you can get something pretty cool in english. and naturally this gives us essential insight into the timeless national character of its people

A Flaunt Film | Emma D'Arcy

[boringkate]

You listen to music regularly? Why? Have you even tried quitting? Could you quit? You get music stuck in your head? Wow. You're so ruined and music brained. I bet you make your partners listen to music with you when you have sex. Music addiction has really ruined a whole generation. You know it's not realistic to expect reverb in real life, right? You're probably so desensitized that you don't even feel anything anymore when you hear a bird singing that it wants some fuck.

[paradigm-adrift]

I don't have a problem with people listening to music per se, but I do have a problem with the music industry exploiting & mistreating artists.

Personally, I abstain from all music in order to keep my hands clean but really music should just be illegal outright to protect musicians from abuse.

holy shit this person in the notes

ok but unironically. music listeners need help. i know youre making fun of how people talk about porn. but i really dont think its okay how society treats listening to music multiple HOURS every day as normal and healthy. nowadays there are even PAID APPS for listening to music. there are children spending their entire pocket money on spotify and other such subscriptions (not to mention yt is literally free so theres some kind of advertising that makes the believe its better to spend money) # i cannot stress how serious i am #sadly this seems like a lost cause bc of how widespread this is #dont even get me started on caffeine addiction

Just saw a petition in a group chat about "don't bring ICE to Europe!" and I felt insane for a minute. We already have militarised borders and concentration camps for migrants and we let people die in the sea and we banish people to unfamiliar countries and we brutalise them and we terrorise them and we detain and deport them!! The UK and the EU are not the liberal paradises we pretend they are!! Our borders kill people!! We don't need a petition to keep US violence away, we need to organise against the European violence we already have!!

[deadbirds-and-daydreams]

The amount of pictures of people dying in boats trying to get to europe. and the amount of few survivors who then get denied put into prisons (remembering the harlem panopticon where we put immigrants for a while. and i do mean like an actual literal panopticon.) or camps and then send back. and why? because some europeans are so fucking racist and xenophobics theyd rather see their fellow men die than to have absolutely nothing change in their lifes to help these people survive. Words will never be enough to explain my rage for how EU has treated people like absolute fucking cattle. all my life the news here. the politicians. the US is a shithole. the EU is a shithole but tries a lot harder to hide it. theres so much blood on these hands. its sickening.

[dykepuffs]

I keep remembering that fucking post about "Uwu look at Europe's beautiful open borders!!!!" With pictures of a little boundary stone in a field in Belgium or a line painted on a road in Luxembourg, that was circulating around the same time as yet another overloaded boat had been turned back by Greek or Italian coastguards in the middle of the Mediterranean and the International Community(TM) had collectively shrugged when bits of it started washing up in the Greek islands.

The way that Europe has sold itself as such a fluffy woo Good Vibes Only Continent should be studied.

I just want to add this, because I think it's immensely important in these conversations and because it took me 45 minutes to track it down.

How Europe Outsourced Border Enforcement to Africa

The European Union is militarizing Africa's internal borders to curb migration, with little regard for human rights.
