today I was forced to face the fact I might have a problem when continuing an argument my friend asked me "well, how many books did you buy in last month?" and I very confidently replied I did not get more than 5
and then I went to look at the order history and turns out it's 25.

AU: Aegon marries Baela, Helaena marries Jace, and Aemond marries Rhaena. Luke becomes Viserys’s ward in Kings Landing and Daeron becomes Daemon's ward in Dragonstone.
In this AU do you think the Dance would’ve still happened?
I love this scenario🙌🏽(and spoilers this is lowkey where I’m going in my Laena and Daemon au). Honestly, if Viserys was smart at all he would’ve gone this route and forced everyone to marry everyone else that way a threat like the Dance would be neutralized.
I couldn't say it would never come about(you’ve got a lot of different claims and someone might start feeling themselves), but marrying them to each other, paying attention to all your kids, and fostering healthy bonds that way no one feels like they are left out would certainly make it harder for one to fear for their safety/hold a grudge.
If someone wanted the throne at this point, say Aegon, which is unlikely cause he only agreed to be crowned in the books to protect his family, they’d have to kill their full-blooded relatives. Which again isn’t something he wanted and I doubt Jace or Rhaenyra would view him as a threat as long as they make a pact that Jace's (and Helaena’s) eldest son(the future king) will marry Aegon(and Baela’s) eldest daughter.
Aemond probably still has grudges if the eye incident has occurred, but he isn’t the eldest son so he can’t do much(he’d have to first kill his own brother which he’d never do then stage a coup which no one would support him in cause he killed his bro). Viserys will need to give him a nice little keep for him and Rhaena where he can be an anime villain in peace🤣
Honestly, I think even Daemon wouldn’t try to stir up some sh*t as long as he knows his line will eventually inherit. Although I can’t rule out him not trying to do something to Jace(the Greens won’t care as long as Helaena and her babies are okay) that way his granddaughter becomes queen faster, but Jace(and Helaena’s line will live and inherit the throne. I left Luke and Joffrey out of this equation cause there is no way he can make all three deaths look like an accident. He’d have to stop at Jace. Daeron is safe in his hands.
Vaemond will probably say something regarding House Valeryon’s succession, he may be relieved of his head, but if Luke marries his granddaughter I doubt his sons will protest much after that.
The problem could lie with Rhaenyra having legitimate kids(which was where she majorly f*cked up), but if they just repeat what AU Viserys did(marry grandkids) it should be fine.

Me: oh man, I'm so glad that I've been able to find a delivery service that has vegetables and salads that actually taste good! And they're locally sourced and everything! Look at me, balancing my diet! 🥰
My body, casually reminding me that I am in fact medically incapable of processing leafy green vegetables: 🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪🔪

reading the manga genuinely convinces me i’ll be fine no matter what comes in the anime and yet every single time something bad happens to a character i go into shock as though i didn’t know it was literally about to happen

I low-key love the fact that sci-fi has so conditioned us to expect to be hanging out with a bunch of cool space aliens, that legitimate, actual scientists keep proposing the most bizarre, three-blunts-into-the-rotation "theories" to explain the fact we're not.
Some of my favourites include:
Zoo Theory: What if there are loads of aliens out there, but they're not talking to us because of the Prime Directive from Star Trek? (Or because they're doing experiments on us???)
Dark Forest Theory: What if there are loads of aliens out there, but they all hate us and each other so they're all just waiting with a shotgun pointed at the door, ready to open fire on anything that moves?
Planetarium Theory: What if there's at least one alien with mastery over light and matter that's just making it seem to us that the universe is empty to us as, like, a joke?
Berserker Theory: What if there were loads of aliens, but one of them made infinite killer robots that murdered everyone and are coming for us next?!!
Like, the universe is at least 13,700,000,000 years old and 46,000,000,000 light years big. We have had the ability to transmit and receive signals for, what, 100 years, and our signals have so far travelled 200 light years?
The fact is biological life almost certainly has, does, or will develop elsewhere in the universe, and it's not impossible that a tiny amount of it has, does, or will develop in a way that we would understand as "intelligent". But, like, we're realistically never going to know because of the scale of the things involved.
So I'm proposing my own hypothesis. I call it the "Fool in a Field" hypothesis. It goes like this:
Humanity is a guy standing in the middle of a field at midnight. It's pitch black, he can't move, and he's been standing there for ages. He's just had the thought to swing his arms. He swings one of his arms, once, and does not hit another person. "Oh no!" He says. "Robots have killed them all!"

like can you imagine if you, as a housed person, said "oh man im really struggling financially right now I can't pay my bills- my electric is going to be cut off, my car might get repossessed, and I definitely can't afford to get a new laptop after mine broke"
and someone who had a lot more money than you said "I can help you!" and you were like"oh my god great thank you so much-" and then they just offered to take you to olive garden. and you say "hey man that's really nice but I'm actually okay on food right now, I really just need to pay some of these bills. I already got food somewhere else (foodstamps, friends, food pantries) and I really just need money. if you can't do it that's fine but I don't need food"
and the rich person said "you must not really need money or be poor then or else you'd take me up on my offer. I bet you were going to use that money on drugs anyway"
that's what yall sound like when you refuse to give homeless people money & just offer to buy them food
food is great! if you need it and that's what you're asking for. unfortunately food doesn't buy clothes, hygiene products, shelter, pay a phone bill, or yes even buy drugs or alcohol if you're going into detox and can't do so safely without literally dying
