baseball was a hit ( get it ? ) , I’m gonna see if I can crack any replies out before I gotta go get ready for the rodeo

[pertinaxism]

@1defense “You look more beautiful with each day you carry my child.”

letting out a soft snort, viserra glanced over her shoulder at her husband. “ clearly you missed the poor attempt at putting on my nightdress.” her and her maid both struggled, viserra turning and twisting and both women pulling at the fabric until finally, and perhaps a little begrudgingly, the princess suggested searching her mothers rooms for a bigger garment.

“I am far from done growing, and yet feel as though I cannot expand anymore further. do not call me beautiful.” she had heard that mothers rarely grew too much with their first, and viserra supposed her mother had been bigger than this with her later babes, but the princess felt as big as a boat currently and if this was small, she would hate to see how the later months would affect her. “ I’m going to have more dresses altered to fit this child, I suspect he will have your big head.”

[pertinaxism]

@1defense “They say an heir is what a man desires, but a daughter was what I truly needed.”

three boys slept in their beds across the room, while the cradle was stationed firmly beside the bed. viserra had argued from the start that she would tend to them as best she could from the first boy, just has her mother had her and her brothers.

rolling over onto her side, propping her head up with her hand, the woman smiled at her husband, and the newborn babe in his arms. “ you and I both, she was certainly long awaited.”

one kid has a baseball tournament and the rodeo is in town yay - I’m going to try and work on what I can, but more than likely will be trying to hold onto what little sanity I have left until Monday

A meme surrounding family planning, pregnancy & childbirth  best suited for medieval & fantasy setting. Feel free to change whatever you need to make the prompts suitable for you!

“Our marriage has not been consummated yet. How am I supposed to produce an heir?!” “The midwife advised me to sleep with you on a full moon for fertility.” “We have tried to conceive a babe for many years, but the Gods have not blessed us with one yet.” “You are still young. This loss only means we will try again.” “I hope this time we will be blessed with a child that lives.” “Will you be disappointed if it is not a son?” “This is not their first child and they have failed to produce and heir so far.” “She is with child, but remains unmarried. A scandal!” “Rumor has it that she is not pregnant by her husband, but her lover.” “We need to have an heir. I know you do not wish to share the bed with me, but we must try for the sake of our families. It is our duty.” “It is a woman’s duty to give her husband children. You are not excluded from that.” “She only had a babe a year ago and is pregnant again. If they continue like that, the poor girl will be spent by 25.” “I think I might be with child.” “I think you might be with child.” “How does one know when a child has taken root in the womb?” “You have been sick a lot recently. Might you be with child?” “We have prayed for this babe for years and the Gods have finally answered us.” “You look more beautiful with each day you carry my child.” “She has been positively glowing for someone so close to childbirth.” “You should rest, my dear. Let me help you sit somewhere.” “Do not over exert yourself. It is bad for the babe.” “The babe will be the best King/Queen our kingdom has ever seen, I have no doubt.” “I never wished to father children, but now that I look at the swell of your stomach each day, I cannot wait to be a parent.” “Confinement has been one of the more dull experiences of my life.” “Are you well? You look pale. Is it time?” “Since when have you been in pain? I think we ought to call for the midwife.” “Has no one told you how labor starts, child? Your babe is coming.” “Hold my hand and breathe. You are doing very well. It will be over soon.” “Get the birthing chair. The babe is stuck and we need gravity’s help.” “I do not want strangers in the room. Please dismiss everyone, but the midwife.” “Is this amount of blood normal?” “Would you like to take a hot bath to ease the pain?” “I do not expect you to stay in the birthing chamber with me. I know it is no place for a husband.” “The Queen is in labour. Let us hope the child will live this time.” “They say the babe is not coming and we might lose them both.” “You have to be strong now, or you might lose the babe.” “There is too much blood. Something is not right.” “It is just a bit of childbed fever. She will recover.” “The babe is small and weak. You should not get your hopes up.” “What a wonderful blessing, it is a son!” “They say an heir is what a man desires, but a daughter was what I truly needed.” “I’m afraid it is not over yet. There seems to be another babe on the way.”

waking up to this and I feel it needs to be addressed

viserra is an oc, of course she is ! I’ve had her since season 1, which is crazy to think that she is my second longest oc. and she is ever changing, as all ocs tend to be! new ideas every day, some bounced off ( and ideas given by ) mutuals, my own husband, etc. and I will never not love yapping out ideas about her !!

but - please do not try and change her reactions to things, her verses, or push on me what you think she should do. Viserra is loyal to her family to a fault, and most definitely a ‘ mother hen ‘ to her brothers. that has not, and never will change. even in threads where she’s married to someone on team green, she does not see her siblings / mother as ‘ the blacks ‘ they are simply her family. and she wishes peace to be reached without bloodshed. and honestly a little vice versa for the greens at the start ( though after luke and jace she only really feels that way about Helaena and her kids )

any who. a lot of thought, and care, has been put into the very core of who she is. that will never change. ( keep in mind I love aus and have no problem writing what ifs, etc !!! I fuck hard with those ! just not in main verses and just not her reactions/wants/desires being changed for her to better fit your idea of her without actually asking me <3 )

[pertinaxism]

I always talk about vis’ love for jace, luke and joff. she adores them !!

but my girl lived her worst fear ( losing her entire family ), was still recovering from her own ptsd and took on regency for her baby brother so he wouldn’t have to deal with so much so young

give me a bodyguard plot where “stay behind me” gradually becomes “stay with me.”

I know that doesn't fix anything, but I'm sorry. • Do you ever think about us? About what we were? • I don't expect you to forgive me. I just needed you to know. • You were right. About all of it. I should have listened. • I've been carrying this around for so long, and I just... I need to let it go. • Can we start over? Not forget, just... start again? • I miss you. Is that allowed? Am I allowed to miss you? • You look like you've been doing well. I'm happy for you, I mean it. • I practiced this conversation a hundred times and none of them went like this. • What if we tried again? Differently this time. • I forgive you. I don't know if you needed to hear that, but I do. • I thought I'd be angrier. But I'm just... tired. • The last time we spoke, I said things I didn't mean. Can we talk about that? • I know I don't deserve another chance, but I'm asking anyway. • You're here. You actually came. • I wasn't sure you'd remember me. • I've thought about calling you so many times. • Do you hate me? It's okay if you do. • I got your letter. It took me this long to respond. • We were kids. We didn't know what we were doing. • I should have fought for us.

Trying to be better. • You were my best friend. I lost more than I realized. • I don't know how to fix this, but I want to try. • I was wrong. I need you to hear me say that. • Do you remember the last thing you said to me? • I never stopped caring about you. That's the truth. • What would it take? For us to be okay again? • I don't need us to be what we were. I just need us to be something. • You look like you've found peace. I'm working on finding mine. • I know I hurt you. I hurt myself too. • Can we sit? Just for a minute? • I'm not the same person I was. I hope you can see that. • You have every right to walk away right now. • I kept waiting for the right time to reach out, but there's never a right time. • Tell me what you need from me. I'll do it. • I dream about the day we stopped talking sometimes.

• I keep thinking about what would've happened if I'd stayed. • You're here. You're actually here, and I don't know what to do with that. • I saw you across the room and my heart did that thing it used to do. • We're both different people now, aren't we? • I think about you more than I should. More than is probably healthy. • What if I told you I've never stopped wondering about us? • I heard you're doing well. I'm glad. I mean that. • Do you ever think about what we could have been? • I'm in town for the weekend. Coffee? Or is that a terrible idea? • Five years later and you still take my breath away. • I kept your number. Never had the courage to use it until now. • You look exactly the same. That's not fair. • I have a whole life now, but there's still this you-shaped space in it. • We were so close to something real, weren't we? • I thought I was over this. Over you. I was wrong. • Tell me you feel it too. This... whatever this is between us. • I'm engaged now. I thought you should hear it from me. • Why does this feel like a second chance we don't deserve? • I wanted to reach out so many times. I just never knew what to say. • You were always the one that got away. • I see glimpses of the person I used to be when I'm around you. • We had terrible timing, didn't we? • I'm not sure if running into you is fate or just cruel. • I dreamed about you last night. We were happy. • You have a life here. I have a life somewhere else. That's just how it is. • I should've fought harder for us back then. • Do you think there's a universe where we got it right? • I almost called you a thousand times. • You deserved better than the version of me you got. • I can't tell if seeing you again is closure or just reopening the wound. • We were kids. We didn't know what we had. • I followed your career. I'm so proud of you. • It's funny how some people never really leave you, even when they're gone. • I wish I could say this doesn't hurt. • We would've destroyed each other back then. You know that, right? • I loved you. Past tense. I need you to know that. • There's someone else now, isn't there? • I can see your whole life written on your face, and I'm not in it. • We're standing in the same place where it all started falling apart. • I think I needed to lose you to become who I am now. • Maybe in another life, we get our timing right. • I hate that I still know how you take your coffee. • You were my almost. My what-if. My biggest regret. • We're strangers now with a history no one else would understand. • I spent so long trying to find you in other people. • This feels like a goodbye we never got to say properly. • I hope you're happy. God, I hope you're so happy. • We were right for each other at the wrong time, and that's the tragedy of it. • I need you to tell me you don't feel this anymore so I can let go. • We're both here, right now, and I don't know if that means something or nothing.

if you are married to viserra, just know you are not having separate bedrooms 🔪🔪

[pertinaxism]

viserra was never privy to how her mother privately announced her pregnancies to her father and in turn, daemon. how was she meant to tell hadvar? would he be excited? gently she shook her head, he would be extremely excited. that she knew was something she never needs to question. though it did not quell her own worry.

leaning into his touch, a sigh comes out. “ we will need a maester to confirm for the court, but I have seen the change in my mother enough times.” tilting her head, viserra turns her multicoloured gaze upon him. “ I am with child, hadvar.”

[1defense]

he passes a thumb under the brightest of her eyes , mouth open & smiling at his darling wife , his muscles loose & relaxed ... and then she speaks. an eruption is boiling inside his chest. hadvar wants to shout to the heavens to thank them for the blessing - and the quickness of it! but he fears her reaction if she were displeased. still .. it does not keep his lips from spreader ever wider with his happiness. " i do not think better news could be given! but are you sad, viserra? does this make you unhappy? "

her siblings numbered plenty. hadvar was not certain he wanted that large of a family but were his wife willing, he would happily hire workers to add to their home. it could be a grand house worthy of her, if she willed it. " it is soon , I know .. " he cannot fix anything if she's hurting, not this. he shifts his arms to hold her tighter against him - as if his grip could turn away her worries.

[pertinaxism]

daemon had once compared her husband to that of an excitable pup, and it was in this moment viserra could no longer deny the resemblance. hadvars reaction was enough to overshadow her own, not because the princess was unhappy, quite the opposite. she was happy. the childbirth bed is what loomed in the back of her mind. “no,” shaking her head, viserra allowed her arms to loosely wrap around his waist, “ I am not unhappy. i have always wanted babes.”

allowing herself to be pulled against the man, viserra rested her cheek on his chest and closed her eyes as she listened to his heartbeat for a moment. “ I watched my mother labour with aegon, and viserys… and visenya. it is no easy feat.” keeping her eyes shut, viserra let out a sigh. “ what if I cannot do it?”
