yes this is an exploration of guilt and culpability but it could also be a sex thing if you just give me a minute

I often wonder what happened to authors of unfinished fanfictions.

[everyoneinspaceisgay]

I hope they’re having a nice life

[ts-virgil-angst]

long hair maekar targaryen 😍😍😍

support me on patreon

I subscribe to the notion that Maekar had pretty long hair for much of his life until he lopped it off during the Blackfyre Rebellion. Practical as always (Baelor will be grieving it for years). Meanwhile Baelor looks largely the same, although with slightly more hair and less salt and pepper in it. I have a more interesting design in mind for how he looked as a child and a teen, but I imagine he maintained a relatively consistent look once he hit adulthood.

hasty swing.

From the Wiki of Ice and Fire:

Maekar: Some men will say I meant to kill my brother. The gods know it is a lie, but I will hear the whispers till the day I die. And it was my mace that dealt the fatal blow, I have no doubt. The only other foes he faced in the melee were three Kingsguard, whose vows forbade them to do any more than defend themselves. So it was me. Strange to say, I do not recall the blow that broke his skull. Is that a mercy or a curse? Some of both, I think. Duncan: I could not say, Your Grace. You swung the mace, m'lord, but it was for me Prince Baelor died. So I killed him too, as much as you.

Dyanna dearly enjoys visiting Jena.

It is a welcome respite to spend a few days sharing family dinners. The two woman laugh as they watch the children intercept their fathers whilst playing with wooden swords.

reading other comments on the fic you’ve just commented on is like. asynchronous book club meeting 🫶

[ethubbie]

there's something so good about a character who hasn't had enough comfort and warmth in their life and now has weird complicated kinda sexual feelings about being treated with actual basic respect and dignity and they feel like an awful gross pervert for it. i like those wires getting crossed

the "my favorite character did nothing wrong" mindset is completely unappealing to me because i love thinking about all the things my favorite characters did wrong
