Reborn {Jacaerys}

AU Verse

@tessastormrp

There was chaos in the throne room, the war was supposed to be over. Cregan had marched South after the dragon queen's death to fulfill his oath, and his younger brother Bran had marched with him to avenge his Velaryon lover. Cregan had ended the war, and taken King's Landing, although now the last of the Greens resistance had taken their last stand in the throne before the Iron Seat. Otto was face-to-face with Cregan, Criston between the two, and stood in front of Queen Alicent with his sword pointed at the Wolf's chest. Their warriors held at a stalemate, ready to attack one another at the slightest provocation. Lynesse stood to the side, holding Hera in her arms as people yelled and argued.

"You have no right!" Otto yelled, demanding Cregan to call his men off, to release the city. He began yelling again but stopped as there was a commotion outside the doors of the halls, the sound of fighting, yelling, and shouting. Next the doors of the hall burst open and warriors bearing the Velaryon and Targaryen sigil surged into the room, shoving people aside and cutting down a few of the Green warriors who charged at them.

"What is this?!" Alicent demanded looking at the warriors who stayed back a bit near the doors. However, they slowly started to part as someone stepped through. The warriors parted like water as someone walked into the throne room.

It was Jacaerys.

Dressed in black Targaryen garb, Prince Jacaerys emerged from the crowd, a ghost to all, as he had been presumed dead for nearly a year. He held his head high and his gaze was dark, serious, slightly amused. His hair was longer and curly, one of his eyes was a different color and he had a scar on the left side of his face, near his temple. But it was him nonetheless. He smirked softly and walked towards the throne, approaching Otto, Alicent, and Cole.

"Otto Hightower." Jacaerys breathed out, not looking at anyone else in the room, "How in the seven hells are you still alive?" He asked with a little chuckle, before glancing back at his warriors and gesturing with his head, "Take them. Now." His warriors surged forward and grabbed at the green warriors, who sent Cole to the floor and grabbed Alicent and Otto. Jace slowly turned his gaze to look up at the Iron Throne before slowly walking up the steps and standing before it. "You have no right!" Otto nearly screamed as Jace stood in front of the iron throne. Jacaerys turned smoothly and looked back out at Otto before finally letting his gaze wander over the crowded hall and looking back at Otto.

"I have the only right," Jacaerys said.

TW: Mentions of pedophilia, zoophilia, (real life) murder and incest under the cut

[Username excluded for the OP's privacy. I do not want them to receive any hate or death threats as fandom spaces are one to do]

I agree with most of this post. I find Loli and Shota disgusting and I'm not going to deny that fiction can have an effect on reality. However, I believe it depends completely on the person's mentality (the one who is consuming the media). The main issue I have is the example of a real-life murder and the way it is worded (I do not know the op's intent and I don't want to assume intent).

I want to say this upfront: If somebody is not capable of separating fiction from reality, I don't think they should be online / in online spaces like Tumblr or more general forums (like with the example). The same goes for children + very young teens. This is why I have such a huge issue with the Slenderman Stabbing being used as an example.

Quote: "Why did it happen? Because of a fictional creepypasta."

Partially correct. It happened because an undiagnosed, untreated 12-year-old schizophrenic girl had unrestricted and unsupervised access to the internet and when she began having delusions that Slenderman (the fictional character) was demanding she sacrifice someone, her mental health was not taken seriously. (Obviously, this does not mean all people with schizophrenia will murder or have those specific delusions). The fictional media she consumed did have an effect, and there are many more, however, there are also many other cases like this (a teenager committing a murder) that were not at all motivated by fiction. And not to mention the amount of times a killer has claimed that 'the devil/a demon made them do it'.

Last thing I want to say about the example specifically: I do not like the way a real-life murder was used as an example about a post involving how drawing fictional characters in sexual situations makes you a paedophile. (I personally believe it can not be a ‘one size fits all’ situation. An artist drawing a doujinshi filled with 18+ art of Homura or Madoka from Puella Magi Madoka Magica is different from an artist doing the same for Jotaro Kujo from JJBA. [also yes both of these things do exist, unfortunately]) 

Additionally, the wording (in my opinion) seems to be removing the agency and responsibility from these criminals (not just the murderers, the others mentioned in the original post) and placing it onto the media they consumed.

This next part will not be related to the original post much, but more so about the mentality in the above paragraph and the similar one I’ve seen thrown around in fandom a lot.

I am more offended, as somebody who has been groomed and sexually coerced by a family member, that somebody would blame this person’s actions on the media they consume than a person making art of an incest ship. 

I do not personally consume media like that (fanart and fics specifically) as it makes me uncomfortable (including step-siblings) however I do not hate the people that do, or the ones that create it. I ignore, I scroll, and if the creator is very prolific in a certain tag - I block. I believe that stories involving incest and sexual abuse within families can be - and often are! - well written. (An example that I think works is Flowers In The Attic.) However, I think that 99% of the time you aren’t going to find those types of stories on Tumblr or AO3. 

XXsonadow_loverXX is probably not going to write the best portrayal of incestuous abuse in their Tcest fic, but that isn’t going to do the same harm as propaganda films did and do. If a person reads that fic - or consumes any media where incest isn’t outright condemned - and genuinely starts to believe that incest is good in real life they shouldn’t have been in that space to begin with.

TLDR: I have too many thoughts. Fiction affects reality but not all fiction does it on the same severity scale. If you read through all of this you deserve a medal and a personal apology.
