i honestly hate the amount of biphobia people have when discussing about captain kirk and his way to express his sexuality. stop it‼️‼️‼️‼️

#people keep enforcing the whole stereotype about 'bi people = flirty or want to have the woohoo with everyone ever' and im so mad about it #people keep simplifying him to wanting to have sex or whatever even though he thinks love is way more than that. love is about trust #and mutual agreement and for him love can be found in even the little things. for him love is bigger than just flirting with random people #unlike how people see him constantly when i see people talking about him #i thought we got over this. i'm genuinely disappointed with star trek fans when it comes to handling him and his way of self identity as bi #and before anyone goes clowning around gene roddenberry literally confirmed that he's bisexual and i'm also bi. #before you go handling lgbt characters in any media - ask yourself: am i normal about them? have i ever met anyone like them?

The Untrustworthy Fake: Disability Tropes

[ID: A screenshot of Willy Wonka from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory as he limps towards a crowd using a cane. In the picture, he has a brown top hat in his hand, and he's wearing a suit with a purple jacket, multicoloured bow tie and cream coloured pants. Beside him is text that reads: "Disability Tropes, The untrustworthy Fake" /End ID]

Tell me if this sounds familiar: A new character is introduced into a story with some kind of disability - usually visible but not always. Maybe they're a seemingly harmless person in a wheelchair, maybe they're a one-legged beggar on the street, or maybe they're an elderly person with a cane and a slow, heavy limp. But at some point, it's revealed it's all a ruse! The old man with a cane "falls" forward and does a flawless summersault before energetically springing back up to his feet, the wheelchair user gets to their feet as soon as they think the other character's backs are turned, the one legged beggar's crutch is knocked out of his hand, only to have his other leg pop out of his loose-fitting tunic to catch him.

All of these are real examples. Maya and The Three introduces one of it's main protagonists, Ricco, by having him pretend to be missing a leg in order to con people (something that works on the protagonist, at least at first), Buffy The Vampire Slayer had the character Spike, pretend to be in a wheelchair, until the other characters leave and he gets up, revealing it's all a ruse and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory introduces Wonka by having him slowly limp out into the courtyard of the factory, only for his cane to get stuck, causing him to "fall" and jump back up, revealing that he's actually perfectly fine. Virtually every single major crime show in the past few decades has used this trope too, from CSI to The Mentalist, Castle, Law and Order and Monk all having at least one episode featuring it in some way. Even the kids media I grew up with isn't free from it; The Suite Life of Zack & Cody sees Zach faking being dyslexic after meeting someone who actually has the condition in the episode Smarter and Smarter and the SpongeBob SquarePants episode Krabs vs Plankton has Plankton fake needing a wheelchair (among other injuries) after falling in the Krusty Krab as a ploy to sue Mr Krabs and trick the court into giving him the Kraby Patty Formula.

No matter the genre or target audience though, one thing is consistent: this trope is used as a way to show someone is dishonest and not to be trusted. When the trope is used later in the story, it's often meant to be a big reveal, to shock the audience and make them mad that they've been duped, to show the characters and us what this person (usually a villain) is willing to stoop to. Revealing the ruse early on though is very often used to establish how sleazy or even how dangerous a character is and to tell the audience that they shouldn't trust them from the get go. Gene Wilde (The actor who first played Willy Wonka) even said in several interviews that this was his intent for Wonka's character. He even went so far as to tell the director of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory that he wouldn't do the film without that scene because of how strongly he felt this trope was needed to lay the foundations for Wonka's questionable intentions and motivations. His exact words are: "...but I wouldn't have done the film if they didn't let me come out walking as a cripple and then getting my cane stuck into a cobble stone, doing a forward somersault and then bouncing up... the director said, well what do you want to do that for? and I said because from that point on, no one will know whether I'm telling the truth or lying."

There's... a lot of problems with this trope, but that quote encapsulates one of the biggest ones. whether intentionally or not, this trope ends up framing a lot of actual disabled people as deceitful, dishonest liars. Now I can already hear you all typing, What?! Cy that's ridiculous! No one is saying real disabled people are untrustworthy or lying about their disabilities, just people who are faking!

but the thing is, the things often used in this trope as "evidence" of someone faking a disability are things real disabled people do. A person standing up from their wheelchair or having scuff-marks on their shoes, like in the episode Miss Red  from The Mentalist isn't a sign they're faking, a lot of wheelchair users can stand and even walk! They're called ambulatory wheelchair users, and they might use a wheelchair because they can't walk far, they might not feel safe walking on all terrains, they might have unstable joints that makes standing for too long risky, they might have a heart condition like POTS that has a bigger impact when they stand up or any number of other reasons. Also even non-ambulatory wheelchair users will still have scuff marks from things like transferring and bumping into things (rather hilariously, even TV Tropes calls this episode out as being "BS" in it's listing for this trope, which it refers to as Obfuscating Disability). A blind beggar flinching or getting scared when you pull a gun on them isn't a sign they're faking their blindness like it is in Red Dead Redemption 2. Plenty of blind people can still see a little bit, it might only be a general sense of light and darkness, it might be exceptionally blurry or just the fuzzy outlines of shapes, or they might only be able to see something directly in front of them, all of which might still be enough to cue the person into what's happening in a situation like that. Even if it's not, the sound of you pulling your gun out or other people nearby freaking out and making noise probably would tip them off. A person needing a cane or similar mobility aid sometimes, but being able to go without briefly or do even "big movements" like Wonka's rolling somersault, doesn't mean they don't need it at all. Just like with wheelchairs, there's a lot of disabilities that require canes and similar aids some days, and not others. Some disabilities even allow people those big, often straining movements on occasion, or allow them to move without the aid for short periods of time, but not for long. Some people's disability's might even require a mobility aid like a cane as a backup, just in case something goes wrong, but that still means you need to carry it around with you, and unless it can fold down, it's easier to just use it.

Disability is a spectrum, and a lot of disabilities vary in severity and what is required of the people who have them day to day. This trope, however, helps to perpetuate the idea that someone who does any of these things (and many others) is faking, which can actively make the lives of disabled people harder and can even put them in very real danger, physically, mentally and even financially.

Just ask any ambulatory wheelchair user about how many times they've been yelled at for using accommodations they need, like disabled toilets or parking spaces. How many times they've been accused of faking and even filmed without their consent because they stood up in public, even if it was to do something like get their wheelchair unstuck or as simple as them standing to briefly reach something on a high shelf. I've caught multiple people filming me before, so have my friends and family, and it's honestly scary not knowing where those images have ended up. This doesn't just impact the person either, a friend of mine was filmed while standing up to get his daughter (who was about 4 at the time) out of the car. He was lucky to have stumbled across the video a few days later on facebook and contacted the group admins where it was posted to get it taken down, but had he not stumbled across it by chance, pictures with his home address and his car's number plate, his child's face and his face all visible would have just been floating around, all because a woman saw him stand briefly to pick up his daughter.

Many people don't stop at just saying a nasty comment or taking a photo though, a lot of people, when they suspect people are faking, will get violent. I have many friends who have been pushed, slapped in the face, spat on or had their mobility devices kicked out from under them. I've even been in a few situations myself where, had I not had people with me, I think the situation would have turned violent.

There's even been cases where those photos and videos I've mentioned before have been used against real disabled people and they've been reported to their country's welfare system as committing disability fraud. While cases like this are usually resolved *relatively* quickly, in many parts of the world, their payment will be halted while the investigation is in process, meaning they may be without any income at all because of someone else's ignorance. If you're already struggling to make ends meet (which, if you're only living off one of those payments, you probably will be), a few weeks without pay can mean the difference between having a home and being on the streets.

Not to mention that when there's so many stories about people faking a disability in the media, especially when the character is doing it to get some kind of "advantage", such as getting accommodations or some kind of disability benefit, it perpetuates the idea that people are rorting the systems put in place to help disabled people. If this idea becomes prevalent enough, the people in charge start making it harder for the people who need them to access those systems, which more often than not results in disabled people not even being able to access the very systems that are supposed to be helping them. A very, very common example of this is in education where accommodations for things like learning disabilities require you to jump through a ridiculous number of hoops, especially at higher levels, only to have some teachers and professors refuse to adhere to the adaptations anyway because they're convinced the student (and usually disabled students as a whole) is faking.

Yes, the "untrustworthy faker" is a fictional trope, and yes, it does occasionally happen in real life, but not as often as media (including things like news outlets) would have you believe. However, when the media we consume is priming people to look for signs that a disabled person is faking, it has a real impact on real disabled people's lives. "Fake-claiming" is a massive problem for people in pretty much all parts of the disabled community, and it ranges from being just annoying (e.g. such as people spamming and fake-claiming blind people online with "if you were really blind, how do you see the screen" comments) to the more serious cases I mentioned above. It's for this reason a lot of folks in the disabled community ask that people leave this trope out of their works.

[hotvintagepoll]

i found this blog by accident (i think the tumblr recommendations code or whatever figured out i have a polls addiction) and have had zero interest and experience in this topic but now. now i am so here. but i was wondering where i could go to watch movies with all these actors?? like i’m sure prime video or smthg might have a few classics hanging around but is there a service/website (of any legality) that specialises in vintage films and stuff? or is it really just physical media to get a lot of them? sry if this throws off your askbox, i didn’t know where else to ask! tyia <3

Hi!! I love this ask. Thanks for being here!

I don't know of any service that specializes in old movies, though HBO had a deal with TCM for a while that meant they had several classics on Max—I don't know if that's still a thing. In the meantime, though, the following websites all have "classic" channels that will be filled with great vintage movies to try:

Tubi—free streaming service that includes:

The Manchurian Candidate (Frank Sinatra, James Edwards)

The Philadelphia Story (James Stewart, Cary Grant)

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang (Dick Van Dyke)

On The Town (Gene Kelly, Frank Sinatra)

House on Haunted Hill (Vincent Price)

The Adventures of Robin Hood (Errol Flynn, Basil Rathbone)

A Streetcar Named Desire (Marlon Brando)

The Maltese Falcon (Humphrey Bogart)

Hoopla—free through many libraries:

The Court Jester (Danny Kaye, Basil Rathbone)

War and Peace (Jeremy Brett)

Barefoot in the Park (Robert Redford)

Cabin in the Sky (Rex Ingram)

Wings (Gary Cooper)

Kanopy—free through many libraries:

The General (Buster Keaton)

Flower Drum Song (James Shigeta)

Roman Holiday (Gregory Peck)

Seven Samurai (Toshiro Mifune)

His Girl Friday (Cary Grant)

Wuthering Heights (Laurence Olivier)

Sabrina (Humphrey Bogart)

Paris Blues (Sidney Poitier, Paul Newman)

Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (Conrad Veidt)

Youtube also has TONS of movies that have slipped through copyright or "accidentally" ended up there:

Charade (Cary Grant)

The Gay Divorcee (Fred Astaire)

Lying Lips (Carman Newsome, Robert Earl Jones, Oscar Micheaux)

Stormy Weather (Harold Nicholas)

Rebecca (Laurence Olivier)

The Cheat (Sessue Hayakawa)

The Lady Vanishes (Michael Redgrave)

Jungle Book (Sabu Dastagir)

To Sir, With Love (Sidney Poitier)

It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World (Peter Falk)

What a Way to Go! (Dick Van Dyke, Gene Kelly, Paul Newman)

And of course there are methods of other legality if you want to go searching for titles by hand :)

I haven't seen all of the movies I list here—this is just a sampling of some famous ones, and a few of my secret faves—so be careful if you have trigger warnings and things. Hope you find some great movies!

In regards to my previous post about Fem Custodes

I have a few points to make If I made you mad. That's not my problem. I still hold the opinion that they should not be a thing due to 30+ years of lore stating that they have always been men. I have heard a few arguments.

"Its always been political"

Well yes but actually no. Internally it has its own set of politics depending on which faction you look at. You can have politics that are separate to the real world. A good example of that outside of the Warhammer Universe is Helldivers.

Helldivers developers Arrowhead decided that they would not put anything that would represent the real world beyond the fact that humans exist. They rejected putting things such as rainbow capes and country based capes because it would take away from the actual internal lore and would cause division in the community.

The people that want these things tend forced into the media/lore to be the people who wont actually play it because they never wanted it in the first place.

"Its just a small change what's the harm?"

Its a step. One small step towards creating female space marines. If you can make custodes gene seeds work in woman; then you can make the space marine ones work in them too because who cares any more?.

Its an active attempt at slowly moving the Warhammer universe and turning it into the grey sludge that only appeals to the "Modern Audience" filled with the political messages that only goes one way.

I wanted to enjoy the lore as an experience separate to my own existence. I want to use this as an escape of this work but I am seeing it slowly being infiltrated and ruining the immersion.

"There isn't enough representation in Warhammer40k"

Who the fuck wants to be represented in the universe that is basically one constant war. Were the standard imperial guardsmen (of which contain both genders) eat what is called "corpse starch".

To be fair in the spotlight there is mostly the Space Marines which is an all male team of genetically altered super humans (the Custodes are further up that chain and are seen as even more powerful than the average Space Marine). Space Marines are barely recognisable as humans due to the effect of the gene seed.

However if people actually looked they would find there is plenty of representation within Warhammer40k. There are many factions outside of the Space Marines that have both female and males on the frontlines of this eternal war.

Factions: Eldar (Male and Female) Dark Eldar (Male and female) Imperial Guardsmen (As mentioned before) Sisters of Battle (All female) Sisters of Silence (All female) Not sure about them: Tau: I know they take from many species and I am not so sure what they have on the male and female ratio.

Errm: Tyranids: Alien bug species, fuck knows what they have. Chaos: They will defiantly have both, Slannesh will torture fuck you all.

Speaking of Slannesh While often referred as male, he actually can be both and neither.

"GW can do what they wish with their IP"

Yes. There is not much to argue with there. They could even pull a Disney Star Wars and state that everything from the next codex is now the true canon and everything before it no longer exists. In my opinion this would be stupid.

"Warhammer40k is for everyone"

Is it tho? You seem to be ready to throw out many people who don't immediately agree with you.

No media in any form is for everyone. People have a preference and can not like things.

Using myself as an example. I don't like sports games. Therefore I don't play them as it's not for me. I am not demanding sports games change the entire premise and add things to attract me to the game.

In short if you don't like it, don't force yourself into it. If you are interested. Experience it before making decisions. and especially before you decide that you can change the entire hobby to fit you.

Make your own thing.

Chances are there will be an audience however small or large it may be.

For those of you on the frontlines of the Gatekeeping Hold the line.

Young Starlet Caught in Compromising Position!

Your publicist was less than pleased about the headline. Even though you had insisted nothing had happened, and that picture was simply a case of a bad angle. It wasn’t looking great, though. To be fair, the picture was pretty bad. A bruise painted your neck, lipstick smudged around your mouth as some guy grabbed your hips from behind.

It would be hard to explain yourself out of that one, to be honest. Regardless of whether the picture was accurately depicting your actions of the night, the fans had seen it. Your image had already been tainted in their eyes, and it would be nearly impossible to recover. 

Big reputation, big reputation Ooh, you and me, we got big reputations, ah

Rather than attempting to, it was decided that you required a rebrand. It started with the incorporation of darker clothes into your “wardrobe” - quoted only because it was what was chosen for you. Interviews began to shift to questioning the possibility of heavier music, to which you would coyly suggest it was possible. 

Then you released a new single. It caught the attention of rock fans everywhere. There was a sudden call for a genre change, which you hoped so desperately for. The last few years of your life had made you feel like a sell out. You traded the humanity and meaning in your music for tracks that would generate streams and ranks on charts. 

Within a couple years, no one remembered the popstar you had been. It was all about the rockstar you had become. And you were a big one. 

It wasn’t overwhelming anymore. The work you put in was hard and abundant, but it was genuine. It showed in the love that poured from the fans over social media and in the crowds of your sold out shows. 

A world tour was in the talks and an opening act was in question. Someone suggested a band you had heard a handful of times before: Greta Van Fleet, not that you ever really had time to immerse yourself in a new band. From the videos you’d seen and the songs you’d heard, you would be lucky to have them on tour with you. They were getting relatively popular and you knew you had to strike fast to get them on the setlist. 

“I have a surprise for you!” Gene, your publicist, exclaimed in a sing-song tune. 

“Ugh, last time you said that, I had a snake draped over my body. Still mad at you for that, actually.” You only looked up from your phone for the last sentence, otherwise preoccupied with a daunting game of 8 Ball with your best friend. 

“Well, this one I’m not sure is much better, if we’re being honest,” he trailed off, “the label loves you, you know that.” 

“Uh oh.” You weren’t worried. 

“But in a recent poll, they found that fans think you’re …how do I put this …boring?” He strung his words together carefully, as to not offend you. It wasn’t his tone of voice that concerned you. 

“Boring?! I’m practically fucking a mic stand every night!” 

“Not enough anymore, babe.” He was being rather nonchalant, and you realized that being called “boring” wasn’t even the main issue that was being presented. 

You narrowed your eyes at him, “So what are they going to do about it, Gene.” His name came out like the sparking embers of a fire on the forest floor. 

And I heard about you, ooh (yeah) You like the bad ones too

That was how you ended up at an intimate restaurant in Nashville, across from Josh Kiszka. He was nervous and it was actually kind of cute. It reminded you of a real date, something you hadn’t had in ages. 

“I like your dress. Green. That’s my favorite color,” his eyes raked over the silk of your dress. It extended to your ankles, a slit daring to expose your leg. The straps were a little tight, and prevented you from wearing a normal bra, and the tape holding up your breasts was peeling from sweat. 

“I know,” you chuckled, “everything about this is set up to be as persuasive as possible.”

“Oh. Either way. It looks great on you.” He was genuine, and as the night went on, you found that it wasn’t even his most endearing trait. 

Just as the clock was about to hit 11, he was standing on your front porch, wishing he didn’t have to leave. This was an arrangement, a plan to draw attention to the both of you, driving up streams and ticket sales. 

As you stood on your porch, hand lingering on the door as if it was a riddle, so close to him that you could practically taste the wine on his lips, you realized something. You realized that you were going to inevitably fall in love with Josh Kiszka, undeniable force meets immovable object. It was almost expected that dread would fill your stomach as you recognized this fate, but it never came. Instead, butterflies flew in its place. 

I've passed days without fun, this endgame is the one With four words on the tip of my tongue I'll never say

A month and half later, and several dates to show, you had proven yourself correct. But, who could blame you? What about Josh wasn’t lovable? 

“I don’t want to do this anymore,” you announced to the meeting. There were a few label executives, Gene, and Josh with his team. 

“What?” Josh was the first to say anything, and his face portrayed betrayal. 

“Yeah, what he said,” Gene added. 

You sighed, “I don’t want to pretend to be in a relationship anymore. That’s not what my job is, and I don’t see how it adds any value to my music.” 

“B-But, this is what’s going to sell the tickets. A love story, performing together in the throes of romance.” You glared at the executive. 

“No, our raw talent and meaningful music will sell tickets. I will not be told who I can date, when I can see them, and especially when I can break up with them. If that’s a problem, I’m sure another record label would have no problem meeting my demands.” 

This is what drew Josh to you: your fiery passion. In spite of that, he was upset, especially since you hadn’t even discussed it with him. He was under the impression that you liked him, maybe even liked him. God, he felt like a middle schooler again, paired with the pretty girl for a project only for her to ask for a different partner halfway through. 

I don't wanna touch you (I don't wanna be) Just another ex-love (you don't wanna see)

As it turns out, the label no longer had a problem meeting your demands. You waited outside the board room for Josh, pulling him aside when he came out, head hung low. 

“It’s not you, trust me.” 

“Oh, then it’s you?” 

“No. Listen, I don’t want to be told to date you, or what happens over the course of our ‘relationship.’ I don’t want the pressure of having to pretend to love you.” 

“I get it, believe me. You don’t have to explain.” 

“I want to do it by myself, on my terms. Love you, I mean. And believe me, I do.” 

He looked up for the first time, his eyes were beautiful. But you already knew that. 

“I don’t want to have to forget you, and never see you again because the tour is over. I want our love to be ours, and no one else’s.” 

Josh smiled, he agreed.

I wanna be your endgame, endgame

adorable mad scientist in your local area

Here is Nikolai's grandpa (also called Nikolai, because we love us some confusion around here). You can call him Dr. Pavlenko, or just Grandpa if you prefer. He would like you to know that the wild hair gene is strong in the Pavlenko bloodline.

His English is excellent (don't mind the accent), but he likes to pretend it isn't, just to get a rise out of people. He also enjoys pretending he has no idea what he's doing when it comes to technology, but he's actually a genius and very quick to catch on to new ideas. Social media is his newest obsession (YourSmartRussianGrandpa on SimTube). Reviews on his content are mixed.

He's a troublemaker, but he's also good at talking himself out of it. He's outgoing, funny and compassionate, and most people he meets decide they like him straight away.

His grandson is his favourite ("Is obvious, so why lie?"), although that doesn't mean he loves his granddaughter any less. He does wonder where he went wrong in raising his son, though. ("He is like cold breakfast on rainy morning.")

He loves to cook, and he enjoys making art. He also likes playing poker, watching hockey with his friends on Saturday nights, making his own wine and tinkering in his basement workroom ("Excuse me... is secret laboratory!"). He also likes figure skating, of course.

He's a former scientist, but even though he's retired now, he still likes to read the latest journals in his field and chat online with other scientists and researchers.

Oh boy I think people who support Rhaenyra failed school in history and biology. I posted a comment on a post discussing a reason that makes it very obvious that Rhaenyra’s boys and illegitimate on a team Green supporter post properly tagged and everything to give my way of thinking and adding my opinion based on facts. So I said that the Valyrian looks are receive traits because if both parents have the genes it is the only coloring that the have silver hair purple eyes. I then pointed out that Elia who has dark coloring because she is dornish carries these genes because House Targaryen married into her family plus House Dayne who have purple hair and the occasional silver hair. So I said that is why Elia children have some looks not all of them Rhaenys had purple eyes but had the coloring of her mother Aegon look liked his dad because he got both genes from his parents. Then I explained why Jon Snow looked Stark in coloring was because these traits did not exist in the Stark line and over powered the receive traits of his father. I also explained that the Hightowers have these genes the silver hair appears from time to time because the carrier of a receive genes that both parents need. So I said Rhaenyra and Laenor have both of these receive genes therefore it is literally physical impossible for those kids to be Vaelyrons. The only way for those boys to have brown hair and eyes is if Rhaenyra sleep with someone else. Then the person told receive genes do not exist in Westeros that if the did why did the Baratheons have black hair and nothing else. Then my brain short circuited for a moment because I say did we all not take biology because black hair is a dominant trait they may have a receive gene in the hair but dominant traits mostly come out with parents with these traits. I mean you tell them logic and they say no it doesn’t exist because if they admit logic exist and that this is right then it means that Rhaenyra committed treason and that she is trying to steal a seat of power that is not hers by any right to give to her child because of her lies. It means admitting that Vaemond had the right to be angry at this to fight for his right to protect what belongs to him and the rest of his family by blood rights. Titles during medieval times go by birth order, legitimacy, and the sex they are born too. That means that boys come before girls those are the rules and laws at this time they must be born from both parents in this marriage not be a third party. Vaemond was mad that some boy who was not of his blood would take away from his family what was theirs by birth right. Rhaenyra’s sons are entitled to inherit nothing technical those boys shouldn’t even have dragons to ride because those are the rights for legitimate born Targaryens which the boys are not. The boys where never acknowledged has illegitimate and then legitimized by the king because if he did acknowledge this Rhaenyra would lose everything and he would be forced to punish her according to the laws of that time. Which means disinheriting her and her children the boys being sent to the wall her being sent to the silent sisters.

i mean just look at my previous post to see the level of media literacy. although this term has been thrown around so much as the du jour insult, including by people who absolutely lack media literacy, that it has almost become devoid of meaning. it's the blind leading the deaf at this point. team discourse has truly poisoned the ability of many to engage in genuine film critique of this show. i don't know how people got it in their heads that better quality storytelling somehow equals having everything spelled out for you.

arguing over the paternity of rhaenyra's children is similarly goofy, because there are many instances the show confirms it on screen, so why even bother having this conversation? harwin literally treats them as his own. he comes straight after rhaenyra comes back to her room to meet his son & laenor graciously gives him space. alicent japes on screen about how much joffrey is NOT laenor's. we are privy to the conversation between harwin and his father when it becomes apparent harwin IS the boys' father and lyonel knows about it. rhaenyra is shown wearing a WORRIED expression. why would she be worried if it were not true? she should have been indignant instead. rhaenyra and laenor talk 3(?) times on screen about their "arrangement". in the "driftmark" episode doesn't laenor even say with his own mouth that he loves those boys "like his own"? (haven't seen it in a while so i don't remember word for word but that's clearly the implication). jace literally asks rhaenyra if harwin is his father and she DOESN'T say no. there's no verbatim "luke, i am your father" reveal but there are a million context and dialogue clues. what the hell, man.

re: genetics. i mostly agree with what you said. no, i don't think people have a basic grasp of mendeleevian genetics; asoiaf & hotd made that evident. that being said, the genetics of trait inheritance like eye and hair colour are more complicated in real life, but the rule of recessive (light colour) and dominant genes (dark colour) hold true a lot of the times. so two parents with dark hair can only produces a fair-haired child only if they BOTH carry recessive genes for light hair etc.

for asoiaf i think grrm uses a mix of real life and fantasy genetics. so, on the one hand, you have whole houses which somehow maintain the same phenotype through centuries of history - something physically impossible irl. like how lannisters have light eyes and blonde hair no matter what, tullys have their signature red hair, baratheons their black hair etc. on the other hand, it's not exactly balls to the walls crazy either. you can say that on this planet there are certain physical traits that more frequently pop-up in certain regions, like how scandinavian people are often blonde or people of celtic origin present more often with red hair etc. it's fair to say grrm keeps it SOMEWHAT believable, like he doesn't write two blondes producing black-haired offspring or, worse, two white people having black-skinned children.

the reason i say he doesn't completely disregard real-life expected generic outcomes is because he himself resorts to this argument in the text to indicate the illegitimacy of rhaenyra's children and he presents characters in-universe having this exact train of thought => we can therefore deduce westerosi people have a reasonable expectation of how trait inheritance works in their own world from one generation to the next. and when they encounter something iffy, it rings alarm bells

anyway the point of asoiaf genetics is that you're not supposed to overthink it

lastly, rhaenyra's crimes are meddling with the line of succession by passing off her bastard childreb as true-born, endagering the inheritance laws of the realm and attempting inheritance fraud with house velaryon's titles and lands. according to how lenient her "judge" is and to how egregiously she pursued these goals, her punishment can vary from disinheritance to exile; silent sisters or death are extremely but also possible. aegon was well-within his rights to execute her for treason. if the strong boys also participated in their mother's plots, the wall or execution could have been possible.

if rhaenyra had admitted to having illegitimate children while they were still young, her father was still alive, no wars were fought yet and no harm done, then she could have got off with simply excluding the strong boys from the line of succession or, at the most, she would have lost her spot as officially-designated successor in favour of aegon, but her life could have been very comfortable and without political headaches.

As promised here’s a follow up to my last post!. Mad scientist breeds plus a bit of info about keeping them 😊.

• First off we have the classic cartoon mad scientist!. These guys are great for beginners and are really easy to care for. They can range from silly little guys who just wanna make weird gadgets to villains who need more special interaction.

• The old school breed is classic, though I wouldn’t recommend for first time owners. These guys after often undone by hubris and will try to bend the laws of nature if left unsupervised for long (frankenstein and Dr Jekyll fall here) it is recommended to have a hero to keep them in check

•The horror doctor. These guys are notable for their blood stained looks, and a tendency to do horrific expiriments on living subjects for the fun of it. These guys really shouldn’t be left alone and some people argue against the breed cause they are often bred to be violent.

•One of my favorites,steampunk scientists!. These guys are covered in gadgets and love to tinker!. They are great for a family but you need to make sure they have enough metal (preferably brass and copper) to make things!. Otherwise they will get depressed!.

• This isn’t really a breed,but of course there is a morph that can occur in any breed: limb replacements!. Whether it’s a see through head,a mechanical arm,or basically anything,some mad scientists will replace bits of themselves with synthetic replacements. It has been argued that this is due to stress,but no real answer has been agreed on as perfectly healthy and happy scientists have been seen to do this.

• Genetic mutation scientists are some of the hardest to care for, as their needs constantly shift. If you don’t give them enough external stimulants they tend to mix their genes with whatever tickles their fancy.

•Lastly feral scientists. These are not pets and should not be approached in the wild! You can generally tell a domesticated scientist from a wild one in three simple ways; a feral scientist will carry a bag filled with equipment, their lab coat will be less bright, and they have sharp claws to defend them selves. Best to keep away for both yours and the scientists safety.

Of course different genres will determine colours and personalities of all breeds. A children's media steampunk scientist will act a whole lot different than a horror one. And these are just a few notable breeds!. Be sure to do research before choosing a pet :).
