Places you should add to your little town/city in your fantasy world!!
Post offices. Wild, I know. But give me the unhinged kind. Pingeons and little postal dragons all over the place. You enter. The most disgusting smell fucking assaults your nostrils. You know what it is. Letter in hand, you go up to the counter. The postal worker is just a slightly bigger pigeon. You shed a tear.
PLAYGROUNDS!! Create the most dangerous kinds of playgrounds, the ones suburban moms would TRIP if they ever saw one. Monkey bars that are way too tall, swings that go full circle... The metal slide stays the same, it's already painful enough.
PARKS!! MAKE IT ALIVE!! Show people going on walks, reading beneath trees. C'mon most of them are already hundred years old (And are going to die after that CR 15 creature wrecks the town) anyways!! Show couples and picnics, show a family enjoying the sunday, give me someone picking flowers for their loved ones.
A bakery! Do you know how much these places are underrated? And do you know how much plot potential they have? Every good story starts with food poisoning or granny's recipe! Give me a place your players/readers are going to treat like home and, for once, it's not a tavern or a guild.
Government buildings! Give me a town hall that has a kilometric line in front of it. Give me a registry that is as old as this town. Give me police stations! Give me courtrooms! Make one of your players get arrested and now all of the party has to go through burocracy like a bunch of normal people!
(Who am I kidding? You don't need to make them get arrested. They are going to do that for you.)
Touristic attractions! Give me a full-on statue of the country's leader! Give me museums! Give me streets, ruins and whatnot that attract thousands of tourists everyday! Give me an annoying city guide that tries to get the party's attention everytime!
Magazine stands! Magazines don't exist? Newspaper stands! From the Queen's Journal to the most questionable new piece of Fox's Tailtracker, you have it all! Make your players doubt what's actually happening, sprinkle a little fake news... Or is it fake at all?
...Toy stores. OK HEAR ME OUT. Make magic toys; miniature skyships that actually fly, metal toy dragons that expel fire, little wands that make little light spells, wooden creatures that can move and make noises... Make children happy! And your players too because they will waste their money on these stuff.
Instrument store!! Make your bards happy with special instruments or just weird ones! Give me a battle in one of those that is just filled with funny noises and the worst battle soundtrack ever!!
Not exactly a place but... Cleaning carts!!! Show me people cleaning the streets, picking up the trash, cutting trees!! Make the town look clean!! Give me an old man that is really proud of his work!!!
(or ways to make your players feel even worse when the villain destroys the town later on :) )
Aerion is slowly becoming apart of his new roommates friend group. Lyonel has all but accepted him, Rowan likes him well enough, and Dunk (his roommate) is sweet. Tanselle and him share a likeness for theatrics. Raymun still hates him but Aerion is 99% sure Raymun hates everything remotely Targaryen like so Aerion doesnāt take that personally. (Or at least heās trying to. His juvenile court appointed therapist says thatās a start). For the first time in a long time (really forever but heās trying not to think about that), he has friends. Sure, sometimes he has to babysit his younger siblings but thatās not so bad, his kinda friend group likes his siblings so itās good enough. He just wishes his older brother and cousin would stop asking about Dunk. He is actively trying not to think about his uncle asking the same questions. (Aerions brain has blocked out how his father has been looking at Dunk.)
A Robertās Rebellion show can only work two ways.
One is if it all told from the pov of characters who we already have povs of from the books. In this version we should see nothing from Robert or Rhaegar or Lyanna or Elia and what their thoughts were (although we pretty much know a lot about Robert). It keeps up the mystery and the whole point of the Rebellion, that everyone was kinda a bad guy and made wrong decisions (I love Jaime. He didnāt have to sit on the throne after he killed Aerys, the floor would have worked my guy). I think most people would like this version.
The other version (and I kinda want to write a fic about this idea now) is if itās told by the smallfolk. People who should have no business in these issues, but get dragged into it any way.
Harrenhall is having a tourney and the local Smith volunteered to take some of the village kids to go see it.
Willow, a maid, overhears Prince Rhaegar complaining about the fact his father has shown up to some of the kingsguard. Itās good gossip for the kitchens, speaking of which she should get there now, she might be late.
Marc helped set up the tourney, it pays well and he gets front row seats because heās so early. That boy Jaime though seems to young to gaurd the king, he look barely older then Marcās own nephew. But he knows that rich folk train their kids young for no reason (itās not like they hunt for their food) so he pays no mind, although the nobles look nervous.
Owen and Alys get home after what seems like a disaster at the tilts today. The Prince named Lyanna Stark the Queen of love and beauty. There was an awkward silence. Alys jokes that if it was she in the Princesses place she would have slapped her husband. Owen assures that there is no one more beautiful to him than her.
El has worked at Riverrun all his life, and he takes pride in that. He and his family is trusted by the nobles that occupy the castle. Heās picking up the lords left overs when he over hears that apparently the Prince kidnapped the Lady Stark. He goes to tell his wife in the kitchens, the cooks should know of war was on the horizon. Theyāll sometimes hoard food for them and the servants, god knows that the lords wonāt feed them. He shakes his head. El is loyal. His lord wonāt starve them.
The red keep is Marieās home. Aerys is yelling at his son. The red keep is Marieās home. Three other servants have died to Aerysās hand this week, but at least Tywin isnāt here to double that number. The red keep is Marieās home. The prince is leaving again, with the soldiers. The red keep is Marieās home. The cooks have been feeding the children in the walls, the ones who only showed once that Spider was around. The red keep is Marieās home, the red keep is Marieās home, the red keep is Marieās home.
Corin has been a whore for years. Soldiers come in a lot. Like so many times. But none as many as Robert Baratheon. She feels bad for the manās future wife, and that maybe he shouldnāt be having sex when heās talking about going to war with the crown for her. She also thinks he pays good coin. Very good coin.
The little princes laugh reminds Sam of his sons. The Queen reminds him of his wife when she was pregnant. He hopes everything will go well for them. They seem sweet. Nothing against the prince and his family. In fact the princesses are quite nice. The prince just gives him the goose bumps.
When she had devoted herself to the stranger, this silent sister had known she would see and take care of death. She was a little excited, if for the stories and nothing else. Cleaning the bones of Lord Stark and his son isā¦ something else. They died to wrong. Everyone knows it. Except the king. She known sheās not supposed to care, and she doesnāt really. But it certainly says something about the King and his power that no one killed him that day. She hopes she wonāt have to clean any more wolf bones.
The same smith who took the kids to Harrenhall is now hidden them in the cellar once the soldiers come.
The onion man is a smuggler. Penny and Wick grab each otherās hands. They were now the heads of the maids and cooks alike. Their predecessors starved. They were old, it made sense. The onion man is giving them food. Smuggled it. They both hope he wonāt get much retaliation from the young lord. Hes fed them as much as the nobles, so the respect and trust him. But food is food. More than gold to starving folks. Penny tries not to think about her grandpas storyās of smallfolk in the Dragon war eating rats. Wick tries not to think of the storyās of smallfolk eating the dragons after the storming of the pit. He pushes away the thought that stag and flowers would taste wonderful right now.
Sylvi has served the princess for years. She is kind, and so is her daughter. The little princeling is sweet as well. She hates kings landing. She hates the prince, she hates the king. She hates because she must. The Princess is dornish. So is Sylvi. Support is all they have here.
Wylla holds the babe close to her. The girls so young. The knights down stairs are fighting and the girl is slipping away. She stands there. She may have loyalties to her fellow dornish woman, the Princess, but a childās a child. Sheāll help. Damn these nobles. Damn these knights. Damn this war.
Leon has been alive for years. Not Gaius years but the literal castle years. He knows magic. He knows dragons. He knows liars. He knows crazy people . He knows that Merlin has magic. He knows that Kilgharrah lived under the castle for years. He knows that Gaius and Lancelot have lied for Merlin. And he knows, for a fact, that everyone he values in any way has to be crazy. How has no one with a brain noticed that Merlin has magic? How? How has no one noticed the Leon himself is immortal? He regularly āsurvivesā the most stupid things. God heās tired. He needs to sleep for another 50 years again. Best nap heās ever had.
āUmm, Leon?ā
āHmm?ā
āDo you want stew?ā Merlin holds out a bowl filled with decent soup (itās not the best heās had, but heās had great food. Because heās immortal. Which should be obvious to the men who are SUPPOSED TO BE PROTECTING THE KING-)
āLeon!ā Lancelot calls.
āHmm?ā Leon looks up once more.
āDamn, how bad was that fall?ā Gwaine jokes.
āBad.ā Leon answers, finally taking the bowl of stew from Merlin.
āYou want me to check your head?ā
Leon looks to the most powerful sorcerer ever to exist. Heās heard the stories about him, the ones about Merlinās āEmrysā too. āItās fine Merlin. Sleep and your stew will do me well.ā The man, not an hour ago, had used magic to blast some bandits off the cliff. He had accidentally took Leon with them. Leonās stupid excuse of āI held on to a branchā should not have worked. It did.
āOk, if youāre sure.ā
āLeon,ā the king starts āyou should at least have Merlin look at you, I get heās not the best option, but you seemā¦ā Arthur trails off
āFar away.ā Elyan supplies.
Leon looks around, and everyone seems to agree with that notion. Leon blinks. Oh. So these knights are only stupid when it comes to magic, not their friends. Itās nice. If it didnāt lead to deaths (usually his).
Leon shrugs and then downs the stew in one go. Itās not too hot, and if he choked heād just come back. Heās glad Merlin doesnāt use magic to make his food, even if it out of necessity, so he wonāt get caught with magic. Magic food tastes gross. Something is always wrong and while heās not picky, he does have a refined palette.
He gets up off the log heās sitting on, and ignores his subordinates and his kings worried and grossed out looks at him.
āNight.ā Leon sighs and gos to his bed roll. Oh well. At least his friends are kind, if not smart. Uther was neither, and look where they had ended up.
As he settles he hears the round table gossip over what could be wrong with him. He knows tomorrow brings his friends taking it āeasyā on him and Merlin trying to secretly do a check up on him as they go back to the castle.
A part of him feels fuzzy. Heās as old as a castle. And he almost feels just as taken care of. Itās nice. He might get what Bruta was talking about now.
Hogwarts legacy takes place in the 1890s , specifically 1890 its self.
Red dead redemption two takes place in 1899 with the epilogue taking place in 1907ish and rdr1 starting in 1911.
Mc could have met Arthur (and John too, but Arthurās version is more funny to me). What fits more in a side mission than a British person who can see things no one else can? I donāt know man
I completely get and love fics where Dunk get time traveled back to Ashford and does everything he can to stop Baelor from like even entering the trial of seven but I want a Dunk that goes back in time and just is like āI am one of the best knights in the realm and now Iām younger and more spry. i can do this better.ā Cause like he can! So everything goes as normal and he even does his speech (heās trying not to smirk at him self) and Baelor joins his side and then the trial starts and Dunk just dominates. Like hes great. And everyone is lowkey shocked (and for some horny) and Egg has never been prouder (cause to him he just found the most perfect knight to ever knight)(he did, it just took awhile). And every one lives happily ever after.ļæ¼
When I say I hate the Targaryens never ever am I talking about my dear children Daenerys Stormborn or Aemon the nightswatchmen or Aerea rider of Balerion. The others can die, but not those three. Those three are cool.
I love and need more fanfics where Egg is plotting the demise or exploitation of any one who wants to date Dunk. Lyonel must offer Storms End to them, his Uncle will not shame the best knight in the realm, and Daeron canāt drink anymore. His father must let them have adventures, and Aerion could die in a ditch for all Egg cares. Iām just imagining this-
Dunks love interest: um
Egg slowly turning around, petting a cat (is that cat glaring at the suitor? yes, yes it is.): so what have you brought as a tribute for me and Ser Duncan the Tall??
The only people who can kinda get around this are his father (sometimes, it really depends on the mood Egg is in and the mood Maekar is in) and Raymun, who has technically offered free cider for life and doesnāt need to do any thing else. Any woman who like Dunk as well are watched with a close eye but usually they are fine.ļæ¼
God i am in love with omega dunk. It just works. I also think any dynamic is silly to me.
-Dunk thinks heās not good enough for his love interest
-Dunk thinking heās not a good omega
-Omegas canāt be knights so Dunks hiding his identity, bonus points if Egg figures it out and actively helps him hide.
-Omegas are seen as delicate in upper class society but not in smallfolk society cause you need all the help you can get and just cause someone is an omega doesnāt mean they canāt lend a hand. This leads to many shenanigans as Dunk wonāt stop doing things.
-Egg forcing anyone who wants to court dunk to get through him first. Any member of his family is not happy about this
Asoiaf haunts my brain so much that I have a whole oc house. Like a complete family tree fit with lore and mystery. I have a few favorite ocs of the oc house that include
Aegal: A blind guy whoās known for being extremely pious but no one knows to which god
Luc and Malan: a couple that names their triplets Gold, Silver, and Copper
Dawn: Someone who I wanted to make nonbinary so lore wise they just show up once to one of their sisters weddings and then no one else in the family ever really talks about them so everyone is forced to speculate about who this person is
Aella: she just really likes poison.
Baegir: leaves his job to go to Southryos multiple times just cause he feels like it
Salana: She just gets kids randomly.
Dyanna: girls so cursed sheās visiting the past In Her dreams.
(Some lore under the cut lol)
Mind you they arnt really related to the targs, but they are from old Valyria. Their sigil is a purple butterfly and a blue star on a pink field. They donāt like war because they think itās too much work. They fought with Aegon the Conqueror, did nothing during anyoneās rule till it came to the dance of the dragons. They only took Rhaenyras side in the end cause the current head of the houses wifeās brother joined her side. If that didnāt happen they were just planning on not doing anything. They fought in one blackfyre rebellion against the blackfyres and then one died and they never did it again. During Robertās rebellion they never showed up for anyone. And in the war of the five kings they could care less. They did send a lowkey care package to Stannis once but other then that nothing. I created an island for them so they are chilling.
Dany is so important to me. Danys entire family was doomed because of her, because of the prophecy that was about her. The only other Targaryen sheās ever known was her brother, who was cruel. But he told her storyās of their family. Of the peace they brought and of their great achievements. Yet they werenāt like that. They were cruel, like her brother. They cared most for themselves. But Dany doesnāt. In trying to be like them she instead defies everything they truly are. They are blood and fire. The spilling of blood and the burning of fire. She is fire and blood. Burning were she must to cleanse and blood of the covenant, the type that helps heal your wounds.
I keep seeing Tik Tokās of edits of like āRhaenyras descendants btwā. Yeah but likeā¦. The point is that she never got to properly sit the throne and rule. The point is that it was detrimental to the Targaryens and like literally everyone else. It fucked up that house so bad that there were only three people who survived till the end of it and even then one died because of it. Itās just funny to me.
