Ok ok hear me out (spoilers for HOTD but I think everyone's seen it now so idc) Desmond as a white dragon. And saving that poor kid and his bebe dragon from the mean uncle with the out of control big ass war dragon. Like instead of getting chomped to pieces, either Desmond dive bombs her head and knocks her off course or tries to lead the kid to hide between the big ass rocks he flew through the first time in the scene and have him wait out the storm before flying home (or helps him fly home idk)
Or or
YEET him into GOT as a dragon. Particularly when Dany is bout to lose her second dragon bc the fleet shot em out the sky while they're flying over the ocean. So either Desmond starts burning the fleet and they're like WAIT A DAMN MINUTE THERES A 4TH DRAGON? or he basically uses assassin skill to catch the spear before it takes out her dragon.
Idk I just want Desmond to be a big fuck off dragon.
Okay, so let’s say Desmond reacted on pure instinct. He sees one huge ass dragon terrorizing a bebe dragon while the rider laughs and he doesn’t really need any more information than that.
He goes in and intercepts them, scaring the freaking hell of Aemond because…
This.
Dragon.
Can.
Talk.
So he attacks the bigass dragon and the bigass dragon goes for him and he leads them away from the bebe dragon and the rider, going “Go, kid! I’ll keep this asshole busy!”
And Lucerys and Arrax go while Aemond is trying to control Vhagar as she starts to go wild, annoyed by this unknown dragon employing hit and run attacks.
Desmond doesn’t manage to kill Vhagar (although he did try) and, instead, manages to escape by taking out one eye to give himself enough time to fly away while the dragon trashes and screams in rage and pain.
Desmond finds a safe place to hide for a while and try to find out what the ever living fuck is happening.
Meanwhile…
Luke’s death was meant to be the trigger that “officially” starts the Dance of the Dragons but, instead, this random white dragon changes things.
Because no one has ever seen a pure white dragon…
But they know of the legend.
The legend of the ice dragon…
No one had seen it before but now they heard the tales of its power, of its speed…
Exaggerated even further by Luke and Aemond for differing reasons.
And now…
The starts for the hunt of the legendary White Dragon begins.
(I’m hc-ing Desmond’s White Dragon form is around the same size as Rhaegal so he’s on the small size compared to some of the big ‘players’ in hotd)
As for the GOT idea…
Are we talking about how one of Dany’s dragons got hit by a no-scope ballista which felt like it has aimbot on in Season 8 Episode 4 while they were just flying???
‘Cause…
Well…
Desmond could just be some random white dragon flying around that parts and the Iron Fleets would see him and assume he’s one of Dany’s dragons so they shoot at him. He manages to dodge out of the way because his entire lineage is a freaking cheat created by the Isus anyway and the commotion is what made Dany ‘remembered’ that “Oh yeah, there’s a fucking fleet we have to fight” (just remembering how “oh Dany forgot about the Iron Fleet” as an excuse for that scene, smh) and she’s surprised by this White Dragon but her attention is soon taken away by the ballista arrows aimed at her and her dragons.
Her dragon survives while Desmond just runs away because he wasn’t going to fight an entire fleet just because they shot at him, he’s a dragon, he gets it (no, he doesn’t, he’s just thinking “yeah, anyone would shoot at a dragon like me” because holy shit, he’s a dragon).
However…
The thing is… unless Desmond has been in this world long enough to have an idea of the power struggles and the big players, he wouldn’t join Dany’s side during that huge battle in Season 8 Episode 5, mostly because those dragons were burning ships and people left and right. He wouldn’t know which side was trying to do the right thing, only that this was starting to look like a really bad onesided fight filled with the screams of the burning.
And the burning?
Desmond would remember how he burned.
How he burned to save the world.
So, in this scenario, Desmond would actually fight off Dany’s dragons because, from his perspective, they’re the aggressors and the ones killing people mercilessly.
Then Dany tries to talk to him (maybe order him down) and Desmond shouts at her back off and they both realize that Desmond can talk so everyone just stops to watch Dany and Desmond talk because “holy shit, talking dragon!”.
So it would be up to Dany if she can persuade Desmond that she’s doing the right thing and that her enemies are in the wrong. Of course, since Desmond could talk to anyone, that means people on the other side (mostly the soldiers still alive) could also plead their case to him.
So Dany will also be fighting an uphill battle with Desmond since it looks to him like she’s the invading force since he doesn’t know the whole history of Westeros (and the other countries and continents).

i'm one deep breath away from a breakdown / my nerves are wrecked and coming unwound / the world is hostile and i'm fragile and i need / someone to kiss the cuts and tell me to keep trying
is it me? is it really just me? / does everybody have it together or are we all pretending? / is it me? is it really just me? / holding it together with one loose string / that i can't stop, i can't stop / i can't stop pulling
i rip myself apart at the seams / i find one weak spot and start unravelling / hoping i can find a better me / a fresh new start buried under me

Currently obsessing over Skyler Gisondo. I really like that guy lol. He needs to be in more stuff. My friend and I did a watch party and watched like four of his movies today, well yesterday, it's currently 1:46 am lol. One I've seen many times and really like (Class Rank).
One was okay but he was great (Hard Sell).
One was surprisingly good and I had a great time, we both did lol (The Binge)
And the last one was Licorice Pizza and he wasn't in it enough.

Reading update:
Tumblr media
YA graphic novel about werewolves. I was kind of meh on it. The artists switched off each chapter and I preferred the style of one of the a lot more.
Tumblr media
Military fake dating romance. I like Annabeth Albert a lot so I enjoyed this, though it’s not my favorite thing I’ve read of hers. I was rooting for the two dumbasses to just admit they love each other. My major problem with this one was that I didn’t feel the barrier to them being together was...a thing. Like, once they realized they both had feelings for each other, which they did basically immediately, there was no reason for them to not just...get together for real.
I have the sequel to this one in my TBR pile as well, but it focuses on a character I found extremely annoying in this one. Then again I also didn’t like the side characters in Conventionally Yours, but I ended up enjoying Out of Character more.
Tumblr media
I really wanted to like this one, and it was fine. But I didn’t love it? Maybe I just don’t really care for the rich businessman trope. Or the grumpy/sunshine trope? I also have the second book in this series in my TBR pile so we’ll see if I like that one better.
Tumblr media
I was also pretty meh on this. idk? I liked the main character but I didn’t really care about the love interest. And it kind of felt like they only got together because the MC got his heart broken by the guy he spent most of the book pining for.
Tumblr media
I loved this one! I love KJ Charles, and I seem to be a sucker for post WWI and post WWII mlm romances. Also I loved the fact that the love interest is shady and double-crossing but genuinely cares about the MC. *chef’s kiss* I had to order the other two in the series after I finished this one.
Tumblr media
It’s weird to read basically all queer books and then to read a book that...isn’t queer. I picked this one up because it’s sci-fi, set in Minnesota, and by a Minnesotan author. It was pretty good, and I think the first in a series? It’s about how a small town in the Boundary Waters experiences a huge boom because meteorites containing this crazy metal hit there. Features Superpowers From Space (Stan Lee is thanked in the acknowledgements), an idealistic woman cop, and military experimentation.
Tumblr media
Very good book that’s inspired by the HH Holmes murders during the 1893 Chicago World’s Fair (The Devil in the White City is a nonfiction book about the subject, if you’re familiar with that). The story centers on a Jewish teen who more or less gets possessed by the spirit of the young man he loves, who is murdered by a serial killer who appears to be targeting young Jewish men. I love World’s Fair settings, and I haven’t read many books with a Jewish cast of characters, particularly not queer Jewish characters, so that was very cool. I recommend this one.
Tumblr media
This has been sitting in my TBR pile for like 5 years, and I finally read it. It was a WWII book? idk. I know people love it but it was a solid 3 stars for me. Easy read, though, so despite its length, I got through it fast.
And currently reading:
Tumblr media
Why have my last three reads had red covers? I didn’t do that on purpose. Anyway I’m almost halfway through this one and it’s good...but idk if I’ll continue with the series because I read a review that mentioned the endgame romance is a polyship, and I find polyships very squicky (no shade if you like them, they’re just not for me). The world is interesting and I like the main character, and the character who presumably will be his love interest down the line. I’ll have to see how I feel once I finish it.
