nightcars: i staked my future on a single trade— a life with him for a place on this train.

[rrhaena]

come here. i’m taking care of you tonight. & you’re gonna let me. 

the urge to fight the offer was ever present — rhaena had spurned kind touches, and all the pity any brave soul tried to offer. control she could no longer offer in trust to others, as it had been stolen from her in dark company, by those recently dead. it would have been difficult to allow a stranger past the walls of her own creation for a length of time... if a stranger was present. ros was no stranger, however, and though rhaena owed her nothing, she felt calm enough not to spurn her. who knew an unwanted touch, and a degree of powerlessness. she edges away from the window, a step closer to @mysteriary than she had been, welcoming without having to detail it — to admit the need for help was great. "if you insist." and she preferred that insistence, to spare the asking. after another step, close enough to be touched, she slowed. "where would you like me?"

i stood there watching dark spirals unfurl around her, trying to comprehend what i was seeing. searching baghra's strange features, i saw the explanation clearly written there. i saw the ghost of what must have once been a beautiful woman who gave birth to a beautiful son.

my original batch can be found HERE! i got all kinds of angsty and protective vibes took over, but if u think of any more that you’d like to see on the list, shoot me a DM so i can add it!

“ get behind me… ”

“ stay here. ”

“ don’t worry. everything’s going to be alright… ”

“ you shoot anyone who comes through that door who isn’t me. ”

“ when you love something, you protect it. ”

“ i’ll keep you safe. ”

“ do everything that i say, and we might both live to tell the tale of this night. ”

“ when i say run, i need you to do as i say and don’t even think about me. ”

“ get down! ”

“ close your eyes, you don’t need to see this. ”

“ why wouldn’t i save you? ”

“ it’s alright. they won’t be hurting you again… ”

“ of course i came for you… it would take far much more than that to stop me. ”

“ listen to me… i need to go back out there. but i promise you, i’ll be right back. okay? all i want you to do is stay hidden, and i’ll be back before you know it. ”

“ there’s nothing in this world nor any other, that would stop me from protecting you. ”

“ get out of here! now! ”

“ i knew you’d feel guilty; you do understand that i’d take a thousand wounds if it meant keeping you safe, don’t you? ”

“ i swear to you. as long as i’m by your side, you’ll never be harmed. ”

“ it’s my job to keep you safe, yes, but you could work with me a little to make it easier. ”

“ protecting you isn’t my duty. it’s my privilege. ”

“ who did this to you? where are they? ”

“ listen to me. i don’t think i’ll be able to buy you much time. and once i go out there, the clock starts. so the second you hear us fighting, i want you to run. as fast and as far as you can. ”

“ are you alright? “

“ can you move? “

“ why is it so difficult for you to believe that you deserve to be protected? “

“ you’re a good person. good people deserve to be safe. “

“ i’m going to protect you, now. because that’s what we do for the ones we love. we keep them safe. “

“ stay close. whatever you do, do not leave my side. “

“ i’ll do whatever it takes to keep you safe. no matter the cost. “

“ i’m on my way. ”

“ it’s alright… it’s okay… i’m here now. i’ve got you. ”

“ it’s all over now. don’t panic. it’s not my blood. ”

“ i don’t know how long i’ll be able to protect you for, but i guarantee you, i’ll only stop with my final breath. ”

PROMPTS FOR ANGSTY CONVERSATIONS *  a collection of things you never want to hear

you never told me that. i can't believe you never told me.

what difference does it make?

no, no, no, don't leave me! please!

i failed you. is that what you want me to say?

was it all a lie? all this time?

so... when do you leave? what time? so i can be ready.

why did it take you so long to tell me? how long have you been holding this in?

i was wrong.

is this it? is this all there is?

at least give me one last dance.

all the exits are blocked. we're trapped.

there's too much blood.

you're the worst person i've ever met.

you're just as broken as i am.

i really thought we could work things out.

so stupid of me to think you actually cared.

you're just going to carry on and pretend like everything's fine when it's not fine.

go on without me. i can handle this.

don't tell me i'm too late.

i told you to leave me alone.

there's no use in trying anymore. it's over.

i should have known. i should have known all along.

i need you to be honest with me. tell me the truth. i deserve the truth.

you failed me.

i wish i never met you.

it's over. go home.

i feel something broken inside me. you can't fix it. no one can.

just take some deep breaths. in and out. you're gonna be fine.

you used to be better than this.

there's no way out.

what the hell was that for?

if you stay here, you'll die. do you understand?

how dare you speak to me like that!

am i too late?

you have to believe me. i didn't mean for this to happen.

i used to think you were perfect. i guess i was wrong.

so this is how it ends? just like that?

we're running out of time.

when were you going to tell me the truth?

how long has it been since we spoke? feels like years.

when did this start? how long has this been going on?

you never really loved me. it was all fake.

who was that? why were they here? why did you let them in?

i came as fast as i could.

what the hell did you think would happen?

can i even trust you?

i don't know who i am anymore.

i can't lose you again.

you are my biggest regret.

what good will it do?

just keep pressure on the wound, okay?

how could you do this to me?

i said get out! get out of here!

i'm never speaking to you again.

i tried to stop it!

you're so fucking stupid.

it's never been okay.

good riddance.

get out of here! i'll handle this!

i can't believe you. i can't believe you did this to me.

you were a good person once. i looked up to you.

i never should have listened to you. i'm such a fool.

don't lie to me! i know when you're lying!

why the hell did you do that?

i've never been wanted. not really. not by anyone.

i never loved you.

i've been dealing with this my whole life.

it was all a lie.

you forgot my birthday.

i'm a monster.

you actually believed that shit?

you think i would just stick around and let you treat me like that?

are you actually leaving?

can i kiss you one last time?

i can't believe i gave up my life for you. i gave up everything for you.

i can't lose you, too!

for what it's worth, there's no one i would rather fight alongside.

hang on for me, all right? don't leave me. please don't go.

i deserve better than this. i deserve better than you.

good! get out of here! i didn't want you here anyway!

i made it up as i went along.

things are going to get worse before they get better.

i don't think we're getting out of this alive.

we're not gonna make it.

get the fuck out of my face.

i don't think i'm meant to be loved.

@rrhaena . from here

“ if i cannot trust my sons, i can trust no other. they would not be influenced by such people. they know better, and they are good, sweet boys. brave, “ she does not mention her consort , though she stills at the dig. bristles at the mention that perhaps her father had not been — she did not know. how could she know ? she had been bundled up and off in the west. she did not know viserys the peaceful before illness had taken him. “ yet the crown sat on his head. his only fault, lies in searching for something that could not have been found twice in a life. he was hopeful, above all. “

and stronger than most. for he wanted kindness. in him lay the shadow of a beast long dead — the creature that had passed three years before rhaenyra had been borne. he had claimed the black dread in his finale hours; just as he’d summoned the courage to stand for her. he had done his best , and rhaenyra had let that throne slip through her fingers. slip into the hands of the green queen and her pretender son.

“ there were bad decisions. made for his longing for peace, but do not think for a moment that things would have been different should a queen have sat the throne first. only sooner,” rhaena too had been usurped, had she not ? the crown taken to be placed on jaehaerys’ head. rhaenys had not even worn the crown that rhaenyra now bore , set on their brow as it’s own sort of defiance. the black queen has been crowned , and now only lay the path to fight for the crown they had been left. “ with less support than i have got. do not think for a moment he was unsuited . “

[rrhaena]

"sweet and brave and naïve, still, as they know the world as we all once did." children, shielded by a mother, who had already been manipulated by minds herself. the rogue prince, who turned his eyes to a princess, when he should have gouged them— sparing rhaenyra the stain of his association, though not an added group of sons. "and sweet spoiled boys can become entitled men in a world that serves them, if not minded. mind them."

though it seemed, that example was already on display in the worm's crafted keep, and the high tower.

the old who lingered knew more than the young who looked elsewhere, to love and war, as the passing of time claimed them one after another. for the queen in the riverlands, a ghost in old halls, a living memory of the foolishness of peace. the western lands had warred for centuries, and it seemed the lords of the starry sept had not lost their taste for it.

"your father sat upon a throne for nothing more than what sat between his legs, like his grandfather before him, and his uncle before that." half conscious, the voices of the great council had risen, as all avoided the widow's tower, and what was rumored to haunt it. rhaena looked through her, to the sea. "a lover of excess, some say, who leaned upon greedy advisors who played him until it brought you here. plotters in his own bed upon his own invitation, that a good king would not have ignored for love." with a claim that stemmed from weakness, rhaenyra had little other paths but to defend it. none of that altered the plain truth, that few would have been offered the path to rise under the elder of the targaryen women, not present. "the word father rotted in your mouth, girl, not mine. the truth is already upon your tongue."

[rrhaena]

"Everyone says Targaryens are closer to gods than to men, but they say that because of our dragons. Without them, we're just like everyone else." has done so much damage to the fire and blood community

[rrhaena]

the word "father" rotted in my mouth.

weak and dead were the targaryen men come after the first, unable to find their place in the shadow of the conqueror. weak, cruel, selfish, unlucky and foolish were the grandsons and great grandsons of aegon, who had once cradled her in his arms. if viserys, son of baelon, was anything of his like, it was not clear.

the woman who had not attempted to know couldn't attest.

until she'd been told. through rhaenyra's eye, it was easy to see the faults of a lesser son, lazy and reliant on his throne. a lover of excess, and easily appealed to by a nest of vipers— made a man who would neglect his heir. in early life, rhaena had not known that neglect, but her own daughters had grown up without. a difficult choice had stolen him from them, and time had done the same with them. "the only men you can trust are the men of your body, and even then, not if influenced by the wrong minds." and how many of those had gathered closest to @heireign, in hopes of some reward. the old queen turned her gaze to the younger. "your father was unsuited for many things."

the main thing u need to know about asoiaf is that they're all bad in ways but some houses have great pr (stark, lannister, baratheon), some have bad pr (targaryen, arryn, martell, tully), and some people sent their pr rep back in pieces (greyjoy)
