Do you think Yuzuru's free skate choreographies for 2012-2013 and 2013-2014 seasons were beautiful? I always think David Wilson could do better. Also, because Parisian Walkways brought high PCS scores for Yuzuru, I blame the free skate choreographies more. But, I am not an expert for figure skating. So, I wanted to ask someone who knows more.

I am not an expert on figure skating either, but I observe this sport and its scoring for quite some time...

Actually his Notre Dame de Paris free skate of 2012-2013 is my least favorite competitive Yuzu program with Romeo and Juliet 2.0 of 2013-2014 a close 2nd...so though I don't think the programs are essentially bad, I just don't think they were the best choices for Yuzu. For Romeo and Juliet 2.0 I think it's also partly that his Romeo and Juliet 1.0 was so iconic, that a repetition of the same theme though not in its entirety seemed not the best option to me,but I know that Yuzu himself wanted to skate Romeo and Juliet again and also that he had ideas for the concept of the program 2.0, so David Wilson is not the sole one responsible for the choice. Again emphasizing that it's not a bad program at all, just that I think other choices might have been better. Notre Dame de Paris never clicked as much with me so I haven't rewatched it much. Btw back at that time I wasn't as attached to Yuzu's career as after the Olympics 2014, so maybe that's also playing a part on why it's not my favorites.

David Wilson - just like with any choreographer - did fabulous programs and not as good ones and imo David Wilson didn't seem to be the choreographer that fitted Yuzu's competitive skating best. I also think because the David Wilson programs did not click as much as other programs by different choreographers Yuzu never did another competitive program with David Wilson again. David Wilson however has created some very good exhibitions for Yuzu, actually those David Wilson exhibitions are among my favorites - Notte Stellata and Haru Yo Koi. As those programs were choreographed much later I think David Wilson may not have understood Yuzu's skating back in 2012-2013 as much as he did later. Yuzu was just starting to skate at TCC and maybe language barrier may also have played a part to not turn Notre Dame de Paris and Romeo and Juliet 2.0 into masterpieces. BUT this is also just my opinion, so it's also probably a matter of how you view Yuzu's skating and what you prefer if you think of Notre Dame de Paris and Romeo and Juliet 2.0 as fitting.

As for the PCS I don't think the choreographies are at fault for the PCS and I don't think they were "problematic" in the sense of too low. PCS at that time were a lot lower in general compared to after 2015. Judges did not hit the "excellent" button as often as they do now. Back in the day a PCS score of 85+ for the free skate was very high whereas today something over 90 for the very top skaters is normal. If you look at the PCS scores of those years the only one constantly having more PCS and in the low 90+ range was Patrick Chan, who was a master in skating skills and who had a higher reputation than Yuzu at that point. BUT Yuzu's PCS were among the highest in the field. So I don't think his PCS were bad at that time. Parisienne Walkways may have had an impact on the PCS of the free skate but maybe not in the way you might think.

Parisienne Walkways is a masterpiece that gave Yuzu plenty of world records and not many programs can compare to that at all, so it was hard to produce the same success with the free skate. BUT also you have to see that Yuzu did Parisienne Walkways perfectly and cleanly over time and a couple of times and his PCS increased over the time too. Neither Notre Dame de Paris nor Romeo and Juliet 2.0 ever reached that level of perfection in competition (a perfect FS in competition is in general harder to get bc of more elements, but also Yuzu did have some trouble with the free skate as he was struggling with exhaustion due to his asthma a lot more back when). And no matter if rules or not judges tend to judge clean programs with more PCS than those with mistakes. It's not how it should be, but that's how it often is. (You can see that especially in the steady rise of Nathan's PCS scores over his career)

Once upon a time, there was a beautiful girl with a deadly curse: she could suck the soul out of a person just by kissing. Her curse made her an outcast in society, so she decided to go into another reign. There, she met a handsome prince and thus fell in love with him. What she didn’t was that he also had a fatal curse. The prince knew about the girl’s problem, but he never complied or made her feel different. Time passed, and one day the prince fell ill because of his curse. All this time he was dying slowly because of the poison he had in his blood. The girl, concerned, searched far and wide for a cure, but no result.

At last, she couldn’t bear the pain his beloved felt, so she decided to kiss him to relieve it forever.

Love is a strange thing, they say. Hence when she kissed the prince, her immense feelings for him magically saved him. The prince woke up, but the girl never saw light again.

No, but think about putting SaShiSu in an Avatar: The Last Airbender AU... 🥴

Waterbender!Gojo, Waterbender Healer!Ieiri and Firebender!Geto Imagines😭 Hear me out!

They go on adventures together, get in trouble together.

Plus, if SatoSugu friendship blossoms into romance, it's so Romeo and Juliet-coded ✨💖

I like the idea of the three of them being childhood best friends.

Imagine this takes place during peace time, and there's no war (YET), and it's just the four nations being normal.

So Satoru, Shoko, and Suguru definitely met as children during an official visit to each other's country or something.

Suguru Geto is Fire Nation nobility who knows a thing or two about manipulating body heat and more...

🔥 Listen... It's the bun istg... Because why does his hairstyle remind me of Ozai, lowkey?

🔥 He's a talented firebender, martial artist, and adept scholar.

🔥 His mom and dad are political figures and I imagine his mom is a lady-in-waiting to the Fire Lord's wife, while Suguru's father actually sits in the Fire Lord's council. The man is an admiral in the Fire Lord's navy.

🔥 Suguru would be a nerd about Wan Shi Tong's library. 🦉

🔥 Suguru would be good at war strategy. It comes from his obsession with Pai Sho.

🔥 You know, his uncle may or may not rope him into joining the Order of the White Lotus at some point in his life.

🔥 Suguru in RED Fire Nation armor~ 🥹🥴🤤

🔥 Also, if I was skilled in photoshop, I will not be above photoshopping Suguru's head on top of Ozai's body. As in, I just need that image of Suguru Geto as a Fire Lord. 😩

Shoko Ieiri is a talented and renowned waterbender for her healing prowess and knowledge in human anatomy.

💧 She is from the Northern Water Tribe, like Gojo, and was raised alongside Satoru, so they're basically siblings.

💧 Her knowledge of human anatomy is unmatched. As in, yes, there are skilled waterbending healers, but Shoko is iconic because she goes beyond practicing healing on human mannequins. Our girl does autopsies and often ponders how the human body works. She's a legit doctor, okay?

💧 She practiced healing on Satoru a lot while they were growing up too, because Satoru acquired plenty of scrapes and bruises and dislocated bones through the years. He was a rambunctious child who had way too much power in his menace-causing hands. (more on Satoru later).

💧 What Satoru lacks in healing prowess, Shoko makes up for in buckets and buckets.

💧 Shoko is a decent waterbender in combat, but she would really rather her two friends do most of the fighting.

💧 Not like Satoru or Suguru would let her on the field that much anyway. She's too valuable to risk. Shoko knows it and plays that up to her advantage A LOT.

💧 Aside from escaping the arranged marriage her parents set up for her, Shoko eagerly ran away from home with Satoru at 18 in pursuit of scholars who eagerly studied human anatomy like her.

💧 Shoko is interested in how the other nations tend to their wounded and sick when they can't find a waterbending healer.

Satoru Gojo is blessed by the spirit of the moon and the ocean.

🌊🌕 He is literally Yue 2.0, but better! Still the Honored One in any universe. 😍 The white hair and blue eyes... Need I say more?

🌊🌕 Okay, so... I'm thinking... Satoru Gojo in ATLA universe is just like his JJK counterpart. He was highly favored by the spirits from the moment he was born.

🌊🌕 His parents look like typical Northern Water Tribe people. Dark-haired. Satoru is the only one in the family who is pale and white-haired.

🌊🌕 He's a Prince, of course... Prince Satoru of the Northern Water Tribe sounds hell'a good.

🌊🌕 He grew up sheltered, he's a waterbending prodigy, and he's still a menace.

🌊🌕 Gojo is also definitely a blood-bender, but I like to think he learns that skillset later on in their adventures or something (kind'a like how Katara learned it, but with less guilt). Also, Choso definitely taught him right?

🌊🌕 Satoru does not know how to heal other people. It's one of his greatest flaws. He can heal himself just fine, but using water to seek out illness and heal it for other people? Yeah... He sucks at that... (Not different from JJK in other words, where Gojo can't output Reverse Cursed Technique to heal other people. He only knows how to use RCT on himself).

Their Adventure Backstory...

➼ At 18, Satoru starts to get antsy about seeing the world and whatnot. He's sick of the family politics and the arranged marriages about to be shoved down his throat.

➼ Shoko is in the same boat. If the arranged marriages are suffocating for a prince, it's even worse for a talented young woman of noble birth.

➼ Shoko's situation is what pushes Satoru to say "Fuck it!" and run away from home.

➼ So against their parents' wishes, these 2 reckless teenagers devise a plan to run away for a much needed world tour. Satoru's reasoning is that they won't be gone forever... He and Shoko will come back eventually.

➼ First destination in mind: the Fire Nation... to see Suguru and rope him into their grand plans, of course!

➼ Satoru and Shoko steal a ship from the Water Tribe fleet and go on their merry way. (I like to think they got there fast because Satoru was manipulating the water underneath the ship to propel them faster to where they need to go).

➼ By the time they reach the Fire Nation, word has already spread of the Northern Water Tribe's runaway Prince.

➼ Shoko thinks Satoru is being stupid, but hey, according to Satoru, "What can my parents do about it at this point?"

➼ Sure, Satoru is a highly valued individual that could fetch a high price if kidnapped by pirates (he's a Prince, after all), but he's also an insanely powerful waterbender and combatant. I'm sure he'd say something like, "I don't need my bending to win."

➼ Satoru and Shoko make it to the Fire Nation unscathed, meet up with Suguru, and convince him to come along on a grand adventure.

➼ They switch out the Water Tribe ship for something a little more discreet from Suguru's own father's fleet. (Side-eye the kiddies using their parents' resources carelessly to do whatever they want. 😆 They're nepo-babies... all 3 of them.)

➼ I like to think Suguru's parents don't mind though. His mom, in particular, thinks it's a good idea for Suguru to go out and see the world and shit.

➼ Where are they going? Satoru didn't actually know.

➼ Suguru suggests a visit to the legendary knowledge spirit's library, since he's a nerd about that, but also, Shoko wants to see if she can find anything that indulges her curiosity. So that's where they're headed first.

➼ It would be a cute idea for a coming-of-age story... where SaShiSu grow up through the experiences they've had and they realize they have responsibilities to attend to or something.

➼ Because as much as they would want to, there's no such thing as traveling the world as nomads forever. Satoru is a Prince, and Shoko and Suguru are of noble birth. They have stuff to do...

➼ OR... OR... OR.... They're 3 stupid teenagers who ran away from home right on the brink of a war happening. Like, they had no idea conflict was rising, so shit hits the fan and Suguru just receives word from his father via messenger hawk, telling him to come home because there is a war.

It's embarrassing how I'm thinking about their combat prowess + the trouble the three of them get into too...

➼ Gojo and Geto enhance each other's combat. They're so in sync.

➼ Of course, they started out pretty rough... Water vs Fire and all that.. But as they train together more and inevitably encounter situations where they had to fight their way out, they learn to work together and be so in sync.

➼ Watching them fight each other, or fight alongside one another is a treat. It's like a dance -- a perfectly choreographed movement of legs and limbs.

➼ Suguru's fire can burn hot enough to evaporate water. It burns hot enough to destroy tightly packed walls of stone. He is not a stranger to carrying out executions on the most heinous criminals in the Boiling Rock, so yes, Suguru has burned a man alive and/or electrocuted a criminal in prison in the name of justice.

➼ Satoru is the perfect support to Suguru when Suguru launches a lightning attack.

➼ At some point in their adventures, Suguru pointed out how Satoru could try sucking moisture out of plants or draw water from the air and Satoru figures it out.

➼ I like to think Shoko put the idea of bloodbending in Satoru's head. It was a hypothetical thought that led to Satoru actually trying to figure it out and eventually running into someone who does that.

➼ It all started with Shoko randomly saying, "Hey, did you know that water takes up 3/4 of the human body?" as they sat around their campfire one night.

➼ Also... something something shenanigans happen where Satoru keeps waterbending boiling water out of a pot to fling at something -- the little shit that he is.

➼ After they left the Northern Water Tribe, Satoru has become Shoko's impromptu combat waterbending teacher.

➼ Shoko always complains about it during training days because Satoru HAS NO CHILL. He's also banking on the fact that Shoko can heal herself, so he finds little use in holding back.

➼ Shoko and Satoru have definitely pulled water-based pranks on Suguru multiple times. This is gross, but.... piss-bending. Satoru did it once as a prank. 🤢🤮

➼ On a brighter note, Satoru definitely makes silly water sculptures/giant puppets in the middle of the ocean for his and his companions' begrudging entertainment. Suguru and Shoko roll their eyes at it, but honestly, it's kinda cute when a water serpent or a water squid rises out of the sea to greet their ship once in a while. Yeah, it scares the shit out of ocean wildlife and maybe nearby ships and such, but at least Satoru is having fun. 🥴😁 (the unhinged wittle baby)

➼ Shoko thinks the Moon and the Ocean Spirits regret blessing the Prince when he was born. Suguru agrees...

➼ But hey, they make each other proud in their own ways.

➼ Shoko once stalled their trip and stayed in a remote fishing town for a week to heal the sick, and Satoru and Suguru were there as her assistants. (Satoru was complaining about the poor amenities and Suguru had to remind him all over again that though he was raised in a noble household, it was his duty to protect and care for those who cannot do that for themselves).

➼ Satoru once helped mediate a political issue that was severely affecting several neighboring towns in the Earth Kingdom.

➼ Suguru cracked a criminal case that was unsolved for months in a town in the Fire Nation, and was personally responsible for delivering the serial killer to the Boiling Rock. (Satoru saw the boiling lake and definitely played around with it, much to the chagrin of Suguru and Suguru's uncle).

Side note for my peeps who are familiar with ATLA lore:

You know how they say no prisoner has ever escaped the Boiling Rock? Suguru told Satoru and Shoko about that, and Satoru definitely bets that he could do it.

Prince Satoru argues it's only because, "None of you waterbend."

They're visitors to the high security prison, but it doesn't stop Satoru from doing dumb stuff, like sneaking out without alerting the guards.

To prove his point, Satoru did what Sokka and Zuko did to escape the Boiling Rock: Use a cooler as a boat.

So in the dead of night, Suguru, Satoru, and Shoko do it, and Satoru successfully ferries the three of them across the Boiling Lake.

Afterwards, Suguru's like, "You've proven your point, Satoru. Let's head back."

Satoru is laughing and flashing his friends that cheesy, cocky grin he's known for and brags, "'No one escapes the Boiling Rock, highest security Fire Nation prison' my ass. All you needed was a waterbender!"

Shoko rolls her eyes at her friend's antics and speaks to him in a matter-of-fact voice, "Sure, but it wouldn't make sense for waterbenders to be kept here anyways or to be stuffed in coolers as punishments. It's meant to hold a firebender, not for people from the Water Tribe... and especially not for you."

Suguru is smirking at them both, "Theoretically speaking, precautions would be in place to prevent you from bending water. So that means pumping dry air and probably suspending your hands and feet before you're given anything to drink."

Shoko was nodding. "It'll take more than getting stuffed in a cooler for you to escape actually, so this little plot proves nothing, Satoru."

They got caught regardless because they lingered on the edge of the Boiling Lake on the opposite end of the island for far too long, and a watchman saw them and alerted Suguru's uncle.

Needless to say, SaShiSu were thoroughly scolded when they made it back to the prison.

Satoru's paying for damages to one of the dismantled coolers that were used as boats.

➼ I seriously need to stop, but yo...

Somebody please write a JJK X ATLA AU for real... 🙏

season 1: enemies to friends to lovers to enemies again! is this burning an eternal flame? ❤️‍🔥

season 2: making up, maybe a surprise kiss under the mistletoe at the bracebridge dinner? (after their onstage kiss as romeo and juliet, of course.) also, the moral quandary of whether you should be dating your presidential running mate.

season 3: feeling peskily distracted from jess and jamie! torn asunder by the machinations of francie, who hates love! post-cspan debacle make-ups and ... make-outs?? you know, most of the time they really hated each other. (not!)

season 4: oh my god, they were roommates (with bonus: finally-single rory hates paris/asher for obvious reasons, but also maybe ... jealousy reasons?? cue mr. brightside.) let's all take a moment to appreciate that in this season they canonically locked lips. 💋

season 5: asher is dead and paris is ready to rebound; rory and dean 2.0 is so over; paris thinks rory looks very cute in her best man suit

season 6: no men! just lots and lots of chinese food! (and a treadmill.)

season 7: i don't know, having cute hair and being in love and kissing in the snow after they abandoned their life-plan whiteboards to go tray sledding or whatever. my apologies to logan and doyle, exemplary s7 steady boyfriends.

ayitl: paris is divorced! rory is rootless! it's never too late for your dreams to come true!

Which of these did NOT happen in Pokemon AG? Ft. some different answers so it isn't obvious to whoever saw the og post.

vash x evil gn!reader. ┊ ROMANTIC.

word count: 3.932.

warnings: reader is a bit crazy. mention of malicious actions. it's not good, i pulled this out of my ass. the lack of diverse content here makes me take drastic measures!

i think a lot is said about a lovely reader, often inclined towards the female gender and who, in most cases, has little influence on the trigun universe – nothing more than accompanying those who already exist. if it's the other way around, we're probably talking about three fanfics of a male reader who is probably just a nicholas 2.0. i've never seen anyone write about a secret third thing that transcends the monotonous: i write this with fyodor dostoevsky in mind, but this was also highly influenced by nai and a lucifer painting i saw today (creativity, wow).

someting i definitely need to see is vash with an initially ill-intentioned reader. i wonder how he would influence someone evil romantically. i want to try to understand how the relationship between an extremely intelligent and manipulative reader and the sweetest person we have ever met would work. it doesn’t matter how you describe your personality – be it bubbly, quiet... it doesn’t matter –, you carry, at first glance, a sinister aura, evil mindset. even though your elegant and polite posture remains intact, you have often let arrogant and apathetic tones slip through. you are intimidating but it's absurd how attached people are to you: you put everyone in your hands. but you are not only a good liar, you are also a good manipulator! you are a red flag, simply. you lie, kill, mistreat, destroy freely.

this until you meet vash, of course! you are a romantic idiot, above all! quickly he became the sun that illuminated your ice castle. no matter how much information you have to hide, obstruct, you still maintain your facade. and for a long time, perhaps the only good deeds you did were in vash's name. vash definitely notices all this, because he's not stupid.

how many times have you formulated situations that even put you in danger so that vash could see you as sensitive – i think you want him to take care of you –? i thought you were the terrible, feared and selfish one. and god! i can't even describe the situations you already formulated so that he could touch you. but you obviously know – i write this with a highly intelligent reader in mind – that vash isn't dumb. i like to think he doesn't want to give up on you, but he also never got the opportunity to confront you. and for a long time it remained that way: a disgraced reader knowing full well that vash recognizes their nature. even the invitations to play hide and seek at night are his attempts to keep you here, with him, without hurting anyone. suddenly, you wake up not thinking about how to proceed with your evil plan, but rather about what vash will want to eat (because obviously you'll offer to buy it).

intrinsically to you, the moment you met vash, a devotion was born. do you start doing good alongside him because you want to, because you need to or because you now feel that this is right? anyway, this is the point. i need to see the meanest, sickest, most disgusting reader fall in love with vash – the antithesis of all that – and then psychologically rejecting all their sins, desires, their terrible personality... i need to see this monstrous reader embarrass themself in front of vash even if vash, having already noticed everything, is determined to forgive you. and it is obvious that the key here would be to analyze how vash would deal with this situation which, in material terms, would be much more complex than what i propose to write.

you don't even need to say anything, reader. he understands. he will forgive you. please just get out of this incorrect way of living. don't depress him any more than he already is. show that your love is real. show what he does to you. show that he makes you want to evolve. because he clearly isn't going to give up on you but he also wants to feel useful and now he doesn't know who is taking advantage of who here... i need to see a reader who stayed with vash for so long deceiving him, and who inevitably built a dubious relationship with him. a love that, at first, is absolutely fake, a performance. until, you have nowhere left to run. you really love him. you have been committing CRIMES for so long. in the end, only you can decide whether you will listen to vash's desire. will you have your redemption? will you abandon your hatred for him? because of him? vash could not mean anything other than love, but only you can accept it or not.

your transformation would obviously also depend on others. the whole gang has a place here. i think in the end, the power of friendship has to win at least a little. if you choose to change, you finally allowed yourself to experience the purest love that had ever been documented in history. it's obvious that it involves vash and it's obvious that it can only be that pure with you. i just hope you don't have to tell your ‘lore’ to your kids... 😅

As a bi and nonbinary person i feel like lgbt media that doesn't make romance ina homophobic society or a coming out story is geniunely refreshing. Im really tired of the same old stories that are like that. So i really like i hopeso a lot better than mypride... Like

If you guys want homophobic or transphobic "realism" idk go watch mypride or whatever. Im geniunely tired of having to experience and having media reflect real world prejudice that has an effect on people.

So anyways ihopeso is really good in terms of being an lgbt friendly comic. I hope more stuff like yours comes out soon.

Also I don't know how they did it but they seriously wrote nothing and hover with the charisma of an obligatory heterosexual couple in every piece of media ever. Thats all ill say on all of that

Thank you! Just based on personal experience, enjoying a thing without it having to be bogged down by rampant bits of bigotry just makes it all the more enjoyable. Right from the start I wanted to make it absolutely clear that homophobia/transphobia/ableism/etc was just not a thing in this world. Not only do the readers not have to stress out about whether it's gonna happen, but look at that, the main couple also has a brief Romeo & Juliet moment. But it's because they have different cultures, and not because they're two girls who are romantic.

Since there's no "cishet default", there's no "corrupt religion", so why include something that only exists because one sector of humans decided to hide behind religion to justify oppression? Starts not making sense when you think about it.

Unless the point of someone's story is to deconstruct discrimination or just generally speaking about one's experiences, there's no reason to include it. Animals or fantasy or whatever. Your fantasy world has Off-brand Catholicism in it to justify discrimination against queer people? Then why are you boring, that's my question. It just especially doesn't make sense with animals. It's a good fuckin way to take any queer readers you have right out of the story. Most days I just put it down and never look at it again cuz I'm fuckin tired. It's 2023, queer tragedies are old hat, no one cares.

And if someone's one of those people who thinks it doesn't make sense to not include it, then you need to assess why you think this way because it's not normal. Or if you don't wanna do that, then yeah, go back and watch MP, cuz an off-putting amount of people bug us about why characters aren't ableist or homophobic. Y'all want homophobic lions, go watch MP. That's clearly what some of you want LOL And you're not gonna get MP 2.0 out of IHS, as much as people want it to be.

As for Nothing and Hover, there's a strange phenomenon in queer media where they have to include one or multiple bad sapphic tropes. Specifically where one is the "meek feminine one" and the other is the "boistrous masculine one". Essentially making them a poorly-written cishet couple. MP just has the extra bonus of Nothing being disabled and Hover being ableist. They complete each other/sarcasm.

And to go on a bit of a tangent, homophobia and ableism doesn't even make sense in the context of My Pride lol I know what they were trying to do, but in simplest terms, woman-haters don't worship women. And it just becomes even stupider when you remember that they're trying to explain "realism" in lion behaviors. - Cat

how do you think the series is going to end? obviously jonsa ;) but do you think it'll be similar to the show?

I go backwards and forwards tbh. I do feel like where most of the characters ended up in the show is probably a good indicator for their book ending (I think D&D got told the broad strokes of GRRMs ending but they just got too turned around w what they wanted/thought would make good TV).

More under the cut bc I rambled on for longer than I thought I would 😵‍💫

I do think Jonsa will be canon in some capacity and to me there’s only really two realistic routes;

1. Tragic star-crossed lovers who are tortured by their forbidden feelings (a la the original outline). Honestly if it goes this way I can see their romance being a subplot that isn’t entirely focussed on tbh. GRRM is a romantic but it’s usually subtle - look at Ned/Cat, Jaimie/Brienne. Even with Robb/Jeyne, it was bare bones. These are definitely love stories, but the love is so truthfully woven into the workings of the narrative that it’s barely a plot point itself. Jon and Sansa will have the same, where it’s there and unspoken and painful and probably motivates some of their decisions, but it’s not some epic Romeo and Juliet thing that consumes them. If they do have this plot where they have feelings, I doubt they’ll end up together (I don’t think we can have both). It’ll probably end like the show with everything unspoken/unresolved with Jon exiled or dead and Sansa on the throne.

2. Ned/Cat 2.0 political marriage. I generally lean more in this direction. Jon and Sansa are both political characters and their plots/desires are leading them to Winterfell. They are both positioned to be leaders of the North - it makes sense that it would be together. I think there will be Northern conspiracies that will lead to a politically fractured North with the various Starks becoming figureheads for the different remaining houses vying for power (Manderly wanting Rickon on the Northern throne, Petyr/the Vale wanting Sansa, and miscellaneous others wanting the newly resurrected Jon). Rickon will probably die (I hate it but I can’t see another way for him 😭), his followers split between Jon and Sansa’s camps. Targ reveal will happen, which will lessen Jon’s claim. But he’s a god-like figure after his resurrection so he’ll still have followers and he’ll know he needs the power of the entire united North to fight the WW. Makes sense that some advisors would suggest a marriage instead of tearing the North apart, especially with Jon wanting to go off to face the WW threat immediately. Sansa will want peace and she’ll see sense in marrying a man she knows (who I’m sure LF (if he’s alive atp) will imply that Jon will accidentally die in the war anyway and leave it all to Sansa). So they get married to unite the North, despite being essentially strangers atp. As above, I don’t think we’ll get much of an actual love story, but they are suited to each other and I think by the end of the series we’ll come very full circle with Ned/Cat ‘love didn’t just happen, we built it’. And ofc with the final book being A Dream of Spring (i.e rebirth, new life, hope) I’m betting on a Stark baby.

Idk about the other characters ngl I don’t spend half as much time theorising on them 🙃

Jon will likely seek out Dany to face the WWs. I think it’ll be pretty similar to the show where she’ll be split between wanting to help and wanting to take KL. Maybe a bit of the politcal!Jon theory here to convince her (we do need that betrayal for love, which I 100% believe is Jon - maybe with him knowing the war/their plan will likely be her doom but he goes through with it to protect the North). Ultimately, I think she’ll die fighting the WWs in like an epic sacrifice. BUT while she dies, at least one of her dragons will survive. Which means that while Dany saved the world, she also doomed them to another terrible fate - having a grown, enraged, untamed dragon loose upon the world with the only woman able to control them gone. So, even though the WW will be defeated, in the remaining/following book there’s still a Big Bad to cause drama. I like the idea of Dany’s end being conflicting - she dies a true hero but also her great act is her worst act and has long lasting consequences for the survivors.

Cersei will probably try to capture Drogon in her greed for power and in doing so causes KL to burn (Drogon’s fire + all that hidden wildfire). This is actually based on nothing but vibes haha but I like her end being caused by her own hand and greed, reaching for more when she could have lived with the power she already had. I’m choosing to ignore the Valonquar bc idc I’m not GRRM.

Bran King of Westeros bc why not.

Arya’s ending has me lost. I think she def meets Lady Stoneheart and it will make her question her own pursuit for revenge. I don’t think Arya’s story is meant to end with her becoming a heartless professional assassin dedicating her life to killing the enemies of her family; she is so much more than that. Seeing LSH will make her witness the horror of being entirely consumed by hate and bloodshed. She’ll kill LSH out of mercy and it will also symbolise her putting to rest her own anger and desire for revenge. Idk where she’ll finally end up tho so she gets a wildcard and can do whatever she wants.

Andddd all of this is subject to change on any given day. I’m just rocking w whatever feels right atp bc god knows we’re never seeing Winds.

#me: this is my well thought out rational ideas for the ending!#me: writes a fanfic based on nothing but vibes #junk
