Yous are aware that not every transfem Jax is Daisy right. Yous are aware plenty of people have their own interpretations with their own names and calling all of them Daisy is quite dismissive of their versions, right. Cause I’m seeing things that suggest people don’t know this!

I remember the first time you hugged me back.

Found this on Pinterest today and knew immediately what I needed to do

Maekar and his children looking like Rhaenyra and Jace makes me sick, because logically then the Targaryens who came between would have looked like them too.

Viserys II couldn’t remember his mother’s face, but he would have seen it and the face of the brother who died for him in his children and grandchildren and not known.

House Targaryen spends the decades after the Dance in an awkward No Man’s Land of never publicly acknowledging Rhaenyra’s claim as valid (even as Aegon III and Viserys II ruled because they were her sons) but also naming Aegon II ‘the Usurper’ and studiously avoiding saying who exactly he had usurped. And the whole time they are wearing Rhaenyra’s and Jacaerys’s face.

(clarifying that this is not for bannerfall, and instead an sbk au, but i decided i'd borrow bf!avid's design for these doodles– maybe i'll edit it a bit in the future to make him more distinct,, but for now it's the littol ourple fish.)

anyway!! was rotating mer!avid in my mind, and now i'm thinking about an avilade au where a mer!avid and a human marm met as kids, and they end up getting along like a house on fire– until one day, avid doesn't come back, and in the coming years, marm's left to wonder if the mer was even real, or just some old imaginary friend like everyone around her keeps saying...

...until one day, years down the line, as she's attending a carnival of sorts, she stumbles across a familiar face, locked behind glass, forced to sing and dance for people's entertainment.

and as she stares at her old, weakened friend, she comes to decision: she doesn't know how, but she will find a way to get avid out of here. she swears it.

we’re introduced to emmrich’s perspective on necromancy—i.e. the hope that it isn’t just a spirit, dead souls do in some way partially return—as one perspective, as a possibility or theory. emmrich himself introduces the topic as “the eternal question” to which there’s no solid answer. so it still permits other characters, and the audience if they so choose, to believe the more standard dragon age lore that necromancy and walking corpses are merely spirits, no souls involved. it’s therefore not lore-breaking. emmrich’s perspective is also one we’ve seen people consider before, for example in dai when discussing with cassandra and leliana whether the divine justinia spirit in the fade was in some way “really her”. so far so good! my problem, however, is that i do believe the more standard dragon age lore on the subject and have never seen anything to change that opinion. because emmrich’s story and abilities are presented basically as if his perspective were true, so i have to deal with the implications all by myself. what’s in that skull? NOT johanna hezenkoss! who’s answering those interrogations and corpse whispers? NOT the people who used to be in those bodies! who’s in there if emmrich becomes a lich? well i go back and forth on this one because the nature of the procedure is murky but there’s a very real possibility in my mind that it’s not emmrich!
