#it's not all sunshine and rainbows

Can you explain what you mean by Jon’s motivation for betraying Daenerys will be muddled? And why Jonsa will “save” Dark Dany?

Hi, anon! Thanks for the ask!

I have talked about this from another ask before of which I can't find rn but it basically comes down to 2 things we are sure about(for a Jonsa)

1) Dark Dany

2) Jonsa

Jonsa will "save" Dark Dany in a way that makes the readers have much more sympathy for Dany. Don't get me wrong, she will 100% get what's coming to her so Jon betraying her will be the right thing to do for the greater good of the realm. The motivation will be muddled because said tyrant will also be in the way of him marrying Sansa. Like if we look at the expected result of Jon's actions, his cousin will be King while he gets to marry his other cousin. He gets to have his cake and eat it too.

In the show, Jon and Sansa are unfairly judged by the Dany stans. Why didn't Jon just have sex with her or why Sansa didn't just keep her mouth shut? Imagine what will happen if he gets rewarded with a marriage for that act in the books unlike in the show. If we get Jonsa, then the Dany stans could have a "somewhat" legitimate reason to hate both Jon and Sansa. That is how Jonsa will save Dark Dany in the eyes of the readers.

#just to reiterate that jon will be aacrificing things to get to this end #it's not all sunshine and rainbows #there will be lies and deceits #i hope you get my point #sherlokiness ask

My favourite lucemond dynamic is when they’re characterised as having very different reactions to committing ✨atrocities✨

Aemond: I am a monster. This is the price I pay for mine and my family’s ambitions and to keep the people I love safe. If I am to be called ‘evil’ by all men then so be it - let me be evil.

Lucerys: Idk man for me it was just ‘Tuesday’. Anyway—

#aemond tormented by the knowledge that he is an unhinged mass murderer and spiralling and becoming more unhinged as a result #vs lucerys being all sunshine and rainbows but not losing a seconds’ sleep over The Horrors #‘yeah a killed some people and maimed a dozen more? but you gotta do what you gotta do…so what times dinner?’ #i just love dark-but-genuinely-lovely-to-have-around luke #fanon character interpretations #aemond targaryen #lucerys velaryon #house of the dragon #hotd #lucemond #aemond x lucerys #lucerys x aemond

in my henry feels tonight and just trying to comprehend how much mf courage that man had to go all out and kiss alex on new years. like having to overcome the expectations of his position and his family, risking everything to kiss a man who he had been pining over for forever and a day without truly knowing if alex was gonna be chill with it, let alone on board. and he did all of this knowing, expecting and fully resigned to the fact that he would probably fall madly in love with this man and never be loved back. he literally stared down possible rejection, significant risk of public exposure and heartache and said 'I'm gonna do it anyway' and that is a crazy amount of bravery ❤️🤍💙

And if I wrote an essay about how in a weird messed up way, Ra's al Ghul has been sort of a 2nd father-figure to Bruce over the years then what?

#Alfred might be Bruce's first father figure #but I personally like to imagine that while Alfred embodies the loving/nurturing aspect of being a father #Ra's embodies the more complicated side of being a father #and by complicated I mean how both of them might be at odds #but they still have deep respect toward each other #and wish that the other person would compromise for them so that they can finally be a happy family together #but neither of them are willing to do that. #fatherhood isn't alway rainbow and sunshine after all #ra's al ghul #bruce wayne

Seeing people hating Soren for hating the laguz is wild because. That's the point!!! He suffered so much and he became bigoted because his life was horrific and that's the point!!! Because even then he learns and he grows and that's literally part of the point!!!

Like I don't know how to tell you, but something amazing about Tellius is how they show you racism being born out of very different experiences and still showing it's bad. Jill, who was raised with those ideas. Soren, who thinks like that because of his own pain. Shinon, who's kinda just an asshole. It's never framed as something good. With Jill and Soren we see them learning and growing and changing, no longer judging others for that.

It's called being able to tell a story with nuance, being able to show characters who are the good guys and still have flaws, really bad ones, and not getting excused for them, so they have to learn and grow and change.

And it's not easy but that's the point!!!

#fe soren #fire emblem #tellius #path of radiance #radiant dawn #fe9/10 #besides the laguz aren't all rainbows and sunshines with how they treat the branded tbh #not to say they deserve to be mistreated for that bc of course not but that was something tellius did lack ngl #aside from mordecai in his support with stefan. like. guys you also gotta stop being shit to the branded

I finished the mersun moon room designs!!!

The two live in the fake pirate shipwreck inside their tank, Moon got the left half and the little crowsnest cause he thinks it’s cool, n’ sunny got the other half

Sunny’s room:

He’s room is very bright and colorful

He doodles everywhere and have a lot of jellyfish lamps

Moon’s room:

He loves pirate stuff so he got a pirate flag carpet (which was a prop hanging on the shipwreck he just ripped it off) a treasure chest and a sea monster poster y/n gave him

He doesn’t like lights so he covered all the doors and windows with cloth

Some additional doodles:

(about the tally marks on moon’s wall)

I think the reason I appreciate Mike and Will so much is because to me they exemplify what love is actually about in real life. That foundation of being best friends before anything else, of understanding each other so intuitively that a few simple words can contain eons of meaning. The beauty of being so comfortable opening up that all they have to do is sit quietly beside you and your most difficult feelings pour out unguarded, because it’s them: your person, your other half. That emotional bond that feels as easy and natural as breathing. I could care less about dramatic but ultimately empty words or big “romantic” gestures. To me it’s who’s gonna be there in the thick of life, to lend an ear or a shoulder to cry on or a simple smile that simultaneously gives you butterflies and the strength to push through. But also someone who will challenge you and in doing so make you want to be better, and who inspires you to live as your authentic self. Like that’s the kind of dynamic that resonates with my concept of love, and I think it’s the ultimate destination for their relationship (they’re still learning and growing etc. but the building blocks are there, and this has always been their dynamic at it’s core which is why I love them so much).

#byler #a little sappy but it was late when I wrote this and I miss them so here you go #I’m aware not everything about their relationship so far is sunshine and rainbows #but like I said I think once they deal with their issues they’ll get there. & we see it already it just gets clouded by all the angst #my tentative return to Byler posting… #in all honesty I never really left just been keeping an eye from a distance #invested for the long haul even if I dip in and out

Why Jason Grace is The Most Tragic Character in the Riordanverse

*in no way is this trying to dial down Nico's own suffering, I'm just stating my case for Jason because godsdamn SOMEBODY needs to say it!*

@most-tragic-character-tournament here's propoganda i came out guns ablazing

List of why fans are saying Nico:

Lost his mother

lost years of his life

found out he was a demigod at age 10

lost sister at 10

rough relationship with his dad

closeted gay

crush is madly in love with somebody else

forced to come out

List of why Jason is more tragic:

Lost his mom to alcoholism/mental decline

Lost his ENTIRE FUCKING CHILDHOOD because Said Mom gave him up to Juno to be raised by a PACK OF WOLVES who would've EATEN HIM if he was WEAK FOR EVEN A SECOND - AS A FUCKING TWO YEAR OLD

Was a trained demigod FROM THE GET-GO (again, TWO YEARS OLD)

Because of previously stated separation, was TAKEN FROM HIS SISTER WHO LOVED HIM SO MUCH SHE RAN AWAY BECAUSE SHE COULDN'T TAKE THE GUILT AND FEAR AND RAGE THAT FILLED HER AT HIS ABSENCE

Was set up into a "perfect" relationship by Juno/Hera WHILE HAVING HIS MEMORIES TAKEN

Jason may not have had the awful forced outting Nico had to go through, but...that's not really his fault? Nobody has any control over their sexual identity, and Jason? Well. He never really got to explore it. Because that was taken from him too.

Thinks he LOST LEO VALDEZ, ONE OF HIS ACTUAL FIRST FRIENDS, WHO LIKED HIM FOR HIM AND NOT BECAUSE OF HIS STATUS

FORCED TO COMPLY TO A DEMANDING SOCIETY THAT EXALTED HIM FROM DAY 1 BECAUSE HIS DAD IS THE OH-SO-IMPORTANT JUPITER (*cough victim of nepotism cough*)

AND WHEN HE TRIES TO COMBAT THAT NEPOTISM HE KEEPS GETTING PUSHBACK UNTIL HE FALTERS

then. then his girlfriend breaks up with him - not because of any drama, or even a disagreement, but over a very valid point

their relationship didn't exactly start out very...honestly. Jason had been mind-wiped of all memories and Piper had fake ones implanted into her to make her think she liked Jason as more than a friend. sure. they had a pretty nice relationship, but when everything slowed down and they took a look at their lives?

Piper's the one who sees it first, and makes the decision. Jason is heartbroken, but understands - he even, dare I say, agrees that they should end the relationship. it was built on fake memories - you could say it was built on lies.

and now Jason has this opportunity to step back and analyze who he is and what he wants.

what he finds is depressing. everything he's had, everything's he's been up till now...

it's not him.

he never wanted to be raised by Lupa and her wolves.

he never wanted to be Jupiter's son

he never wanted to be the exalted leader Camp Jupiter praised him for

From day 1 his life was somebody else's. his first steps were under the tutelage of a wolf, not of the loving eyes of his sister

Camp Jupiter only ever saw him as the demigod to be praised and turn to above all others, even before he became praetor.

Jason's life...was never his own.

and now that he's away from all that pressure and expectation...he doesn't know who he is.

Son of Jupiter?

Champion of Juno?

Praetor of the Twelfth Legion?

Member of the Prophesized Seven?

Hero of Olympus?

no. he was never himself under these names.

he was never...Jason.

but maybe now he could start navigating his own life. without some god intervening for once. this would be good for him, and for Piper, to find their own way.

but then. then they talk to Herophile...and find out one of them will die. And Jason? Well, he's not going to let Piper be taken from the life she deserves. he may not be her boyfriend, her knight in shining armor, but he sure as HELL loves her - especially as a friend. And if there's one thing you should know about Jason? It's that he loves his friends.

so what does he do? He sacrifices himself. He duels Caligula himself, and urges Piper, Meg, and Apollo to Go, save yourselves! and -

he's stabbed. through the chest. the only thing he can do? Look to Apollo, to the blue gaze so much like his own drenched in horror, and ask; Remember. because he didn't get to live the life he wished, but maybe Apollo could - no, Apollo can, he can make the difference Jason wanted. Because he trusts Apollo.

Jason doesn't regret his sacrifice. he saved Piper from the prophecy, after all. He saved Apollo & Meg's lives too.

in fact, Jason didn't really mind dying. Because he didn't have much of a life either. And a life like that? shrug It's worth sacrificing for those who deserve theirs.

and as icing on the cake, remember who Jason's father is? The almighty, all-powerful Jupiter himself, King of the Gods?

he doesn't do a damn thing to help Jason. Not a single. Thing.

because Jupiter/Zeus doesn't care about his children. Especially his sons.

Zeus saved Thalia. But he didn't even try to save Jason.

Trying would have at least lessened the pain...

People like to claim Jason is a bland, boring character who's never suffered a minute in his life. That he's a golden retriever with no flaws.

Well.

Take a look up there and ask yourself - it that the life of a boy who knows no suffering?

Because it sure as hell don't look that way to me.

To me, it looks like Jason was a used, depressed young man who never got to choose his own path. Who's father abandoned him first to his wife's mercy, then to a cruel emperor's.

Jason Grace suffered.

and he never got to live that happy life he saw within the Fates.

Never got to get that family, those grandchildren he saw himself telling the story of the Argo II to.

Because The Fall of Jason Grace is a true, utter tragedy.

#jason grace #i have feeeeelings #remember when people complained about jason being “boring” and then rick was like “okay he's dead now” and then those same people screamed #about never reading toa because “how could rick do that!!! jason was supposed to marry piper and have kids!!!! :(((” #well my friends you DO remember the first page of the lightning thief don't you? #“look i didn't want to be a half-blood” #being a half-blood is dangerous #sometimes it can get you killed in painful nasty ways #~don't say i didn't warn you #- percy jackson #rick warned us at the very beginning #in greek mythology...there's triumph and victory #but the one thing greece is known for in theater? #it's tragedy #and rick perfectly displays it with the fall of jason grace #life's not all sunshine and rainbows #it's not going to be “they all lived happily ever after the end” #it wouldn't be a greek story without tragedy #and really...how many of you ~actually~ cared about jason until he died #hmm? #i'm not judging #i ~was~ one of those people #he wasn't my favorite but i was more...eh about him #he existed for me #until i took a step back and looked at his life and went... #oh. #he's not who i thought he was #and he's not who you think he is either #thank you for coming to my tedtalk #the burning maze

sometimes i think about how the people who hate on my takes on here would talk to each other and its always phrased like the twitter fandom drama i see but completely irrational and it makes me giggle

"calling kusuke abusive just because he shot his brother with a lethal weapon, plotted his murder, planned to use their grandparents to assist in hurting/killing him, and tried for years to expose his secret to the entire world against his will and through knowingly hurtful means in order to destroy everything he cared about is so stupid! what a stretch!"

"the saiki k fandom is so damn sensitive. i shoot my brother with massive guns all the time and its not abusive because he just blocks it!" HELPEKSJJSJSKSKKS

#sorry i have absolutely no beef with anyone this is just funny #its just an opinion and i have nothing against people with a different opinion than me #its just funny how they think IM irrational when this is legitimately their thought process #and they come directly onto MY page and cry about people having diff opinions #like girl u do NOT see me doing that shit thats so embarrassing stop #im not even a kusuke hater like thats my man #but even if i was- i dont get why that bothers people so much like y r u so scared of different opinions #i sometimes talk about teru or saiki haters i dont like but that isnt defined by 'literally anyone who doesnt like them' #idgaf if people hate my fav characters- i just hate the WAY certain people hate them that shows they didnt understand the show #YOUR definition of 'evil kusuke haters who must be purged from this fandom' is literally anyone who has an opinion on him- #-that isnt sunshine and rainbows and kusuke is the most morally right and sympathetic character and nobody else deserves him !1!1! ur crazy #oh this isn't targeted at any specific person btw im just being dramatic #i havent acknowledged this at all in months idk what compelled me to do so now #the single anon that barely even said anything just made me think back to this #nobody gets him like i do i swear i swear #saiki k #tdlosk #the disastrous life of saiki k. #saiki kusuke #meows post

There's should have been a meeting between these two.

Just saying, Yuji would know where Takako is coming from, at least just a bit.

Leaving a second life because she had regrets from her first one? Devoted into the role she tasked with? Toyed with? Execution placed on her head because people are jerks? Has felt anger, has felt the urge to kill and has killed?
