Heaven or Las Vegas

Aegon II x Reader

Rating: Explicit

Tags: TW// Alcohol and drug abuse, verbal abuse, shit head Aegon, manipulation, actually you know what the whole thing is fucked up, non-descript smut, Aegon’s self hatred and learned helplessness

A/N: Yeah so it’s soothing to write about active addiction when I’m feeling crazy so I remember how awful it was. Addiction will hold you and loved ones HOSTAGE. If this struck a chord w anyone my dm’s are open me is sober around 18 months. Anyways love The Weeknd and the trilogy fuckboi era

I'm paying for all my father's sins

Aegon could blame his consistent need to fill the void in his chest on his father. That rotting, dead, vapid old man. The closest thing he had to a dad was the family bodyguard and Aegon never quite lived up to the standard.

Maybe he was just cursed to chew the world up and ruin them before spitting them out. Just like Viserys, clapping and smiling while letting his family fall to pieces and hatred. Never gave a fuck about anyone but his eldest, maybe Aegon’s uncle. His dead wife that Aegon’s mother couldn’t replace.

Vicious cycles.

So I'ma thank him for you, I'ma thank him for you

Like his father, Aegon could thank the wretch for being consistently blessed with good women. Women who took on too much in exchange for very little. Exactly the same as her. That perfect angel who he corrupted and left a goddamn mess. He loved the woman. She shouldn’t love him. Black hole of a human he was.

My serotonin's gone a while ago

She made him laugh and filled that empty hole for a second. When Aegon wasn’t snorting, popping, and drinking up everything. But he was always doing that. The fallen angel found a habit in those pills from him.

But nothing could recapture those moments late late at night, between her thighs. City lights casting her teary face into a gorgeous glow. “Only you, only you, i love you,” he’d lie. She’d cry and tighten around his cock, knowing it was a lie. Gripping manicured nails so hard into Aegon’s shoulders just to make sure it wasn’t a dream.

Girl it’s been gone cause of you, it’s been gone cause of you.

Aegon knew any sort of happiness he’d feel came from warped, perverted things. Orgies, drugs, girls and girls and fucking girls. Spending money he had no clue what do with. It made him fill that void for some minutes. He feared it was going to open up and swallow him whole soon.

The prince wanted her back. So goddamn bad. She didn’t fit in the picture. Got clean, ignored his calls, moved on. Fallen angel no more. Not his baby to mould and blacken to his liking. She thought there was something good in him. Nothing like the rotation of women on his cock now, a fifth of vodka shaking in his hand, tears threatening to roll. They didn’t give a fuck, just like everyone else. But they did what he wanted.

They say they want Heaven, they say they want God.

Towards the end she’d cry and clutch a rosary, praying to god. Aegon would get pissed. He’d demand what the fuck she was on about, get in her face. Those doe eyes bleary and red, flinching in fear.

“I don’t want to live like this. It’s eating me alive Aegon. This,” his baby had sobbed, “Is vile. I’ll never make it heaven. What would God think?”

I say, I got Heaven. I say I am God.

Aegon laughed in her tear streaked face. He gestured to the penthouse around them, booze and drugs scattered around, a wad of cash on the table next to the unlimited card used for cutting coke half the time. His not-so-fallen wept openly when he giggled maniacally, “This is heaven! I am God! You can have everything you want and more, hah, what the fuck’s not clicking here? You want to go back to the poor house?”

I never prayed a moment in my life

He did get down on his knees when his only love left him. Went to detox, didn’t leave a number or address. Aegon shook with anger, self-hatred, mind boggling sadness. He howled to the roof, “Fuck you!” When he was properly fucked up later, lips around his half-flagging cock, the blonde dimly wondered if her prayers had been answered by getting away from him.

Girl, I'm rewarded with you. I've been rewarded with you.

His love came by months later. Aegon put on an act, not a very good one when all he wanted to do was cry and be held once more. She looked good. Healthy. No permanent shakes or dark bags under the eyes. No wonder, she escaped an incubus.

“I love you. You need help.”

How could he receive help? It’s too late for a fuck-up like him. Blackened to the core. Defiled beyond measure.

So, baby, let me kiss your inner thigh. Let me kiss it for you. I can kiss it for you.

Aegon did get down to his knees when the void in his chest ached too much. He stared up at her with that look, the one that made the beauty swoon. He grabbed her soft thighs, begging and begging, “Baby- baby- please, lemme make you feel good. Like old times?” It was the only thing he knew besides drugs. She caressed his cheek and sighed, tears in her eyes, “You’d make me feel good if you loved yourself Aegon. Call me when you do that, yeah?”

Well, they say they want Heaven, they say they want God.

There’s no hope. He’d just have to make do. Even the bleakest of places looked like Heaven when you’re on enough K to kill someone. Aegon leaned over the balcony that night, staring off into the city, the dark streets below. He was in Heaven. Up above the regular doings of people. Svelte hands locked around his waist, Aegon smiled.

I say, I have Heaven. I say, I am God.

He plowed that girl on the balcony, wind whipping his pale hair. Hips snapping into a nameless wet cunt he shouted, “I am God! Fuck!” She squealed and twisted like she enjoyed his insane ramblings. Aegon finished on her ass and stumbled to his unmade bed, dizzy as the party raged on. He’d make his own destiny. With the void, always there, always hungry.

planning my dc trip and i'm mostly going to be at the national gallery of art for the rothko exhibit but i' m also looking at other places i might go and their merch offerings to check for baseball hats

clearly baseball hat-making tech has improved in the past few years because more places have hats than ever before BUT it's mostly white text on black hats which is just mind boggling

the namesake industry, baseball, has had it figured out for years that words < logo-ized letters < non-word/non-letter logo

most teams have the misfortune of having a stupid names that aren't associated with any image (what, praytell, is an "athletic" or a "phillie"?) so those teams go with a stylized version of the city's initial(s) (I think Oakland, bless her heart, is the only one that goes with the stylized initial of the team name so they have "A's" instead of "O" on the hats)

teams that are lucky enough to have an animal as their team name have the animal as their primary hat logo as well. The cardinal on a baseball bat, the oriole wearing its own baseball hat, the bluejay with the maple leaf. Even red sox hats will often have a pair of red socks on them even tho socks are not a cool animal and imo the "B" hat is something any masshole can wear while the actual socks logo is just for the baseball fans. Also special mention to the houston astros, they do have an "H" on the hat but by god it is in front of a fucking star

and yet museams, which sell loads of artwork on apparel so like clearly they already have designs that they're allowed to put on baseball hats, and a lot of it is one or two colors and geometric, v easy to embroider onto a curved piece of fabric, and yet the the guggenheim puts at best a "G" and at worst "GUGGENHEIM NEW YORK" on black hats with white thread and calls it a day

#library of congress puts their nice book logo with a wreath around it on a beanie #and puts a fucking jefferson quote on the baseball hat and below the quote it has his fucking signature #YOU ALREADY HAVE THE VECTOR ART FOR THE BOOK WREATH LOGO UPLOADED INTO AN EMBROIDERY MACHINE #PUT IT ON A FUCKING BASEBALL HAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! #i would even take the logo with “Library of Congress” written underneath but i'm not going to walk around with tjeff's name on my forehead #at least the company musical hat is funny enough for me to break my 'no words' rule #otherwise this trip might have zero new hat days #also tbf to the library of congress at least they're not a fucking art musuam who refuses to put some fuckign ART on their hats

Anyway, HERE I FUCKING GO AGAIN AFTER TUMBLR SILENCED MY LAST LIST 😤

So as it turns out, I forgot to add some things into the first list, so you can say I saved the best for the last (hopefully). So buckle up besties, the funniest and most mind boggling stuff is about to be listed!

After the Thursday Monaco GP soft launch, Alexa appears to be checking out her fan pages, even without being tagged

Anthoine appears to be doing the same

People that were in the Monaco GP paddock (questionable) appeared on some insta gossip pages claiming she said she “can’t take pictures with them” BUT then she proceeded to pose for a photographer that doesn’t usually post wags (I will send links when I find them besties)

Apropos photographers: can’t not include creepy Kym. In his Monaco GP video he put in a picture of Alexa but blacked out, and it is clear that she appears to be posing

Creepy Kym vol. 2: later this week people realised he is following her PRIVATE account and she is following him back. Now besties, a little thing that you might come across regarding this, as the Alexa fan crew is working almost as hard as the KP army (they are smaller in numbers but they make up for it with viciousness on anonymous asks on instagram I guess):

Not allowing Kym to follow would not mean she is angering someone in Charles’ workplace. His workplace is literally Ferrari and the track and car, and Kym is by no means any offendable part of it.

The fact that she met him doesn’t mean she has to allow him to follow her obviously private personal account and

IF she wanted to stay so private, she could just ignore his follow request as he is known social leech that uses wags to get engagement on his content (question for people who enjoy critical thinking: what if she followed him first?)

And once again, later this week and once again, the creepy Kym made appearances with no other than Alexa on pictures from Monaco GP where they appear to be deep in conversation. Definitely not weird at all…

6. The brand that created the white dress (still not over the whole day wearing eeeew nasty) is now apparently using the video of her walking in the paddock/somewhere else on their social media (probably TikTok, I don’t have it and won’t make it just to be check out the gossip) - is she already collaborating with a brand? (Fun fact, today on LeMans she seems to be wearing the same brand but other dress, and I understand having a fave brand but again, this is a bit suspicious)

So now, what do you all think? 👀

With love (and anger at tumblr for deleting the prev ask), 🦁

You've made it once again, bestie! 🦁❤️ God, blessing her right now 😭🙏

3. People that were in the Monaco
GP paddock (questionable) appeared on some insta gossip pages claiming she said she "can't take pictures with them" BUT then she proceeded to pose for a photographer that doesn't usually post wags (I will send links when I find them besties)

-> this bestie I never realised that 👀

6. The brand that created the white dress (still not over the whole day wearing eeeew nasty) is now apparently using the video of her walking in the paddock/somewhere else on their social media (probably TikTok, I don't have it and won't make it just to be check out the gossip) - is she already collaborating with a brand?

(Fun fact, today on LeMans she seems to be wearing the same brand but other dress, and I understand having a fave brand but again, this is a bit suspicious)

-> If what you’re saying is true, I would appreciate that a bestie find a link.

For the following drama, real question: precisely because her account is private, for the follow to be seen, she's not supposed to have accepted the invitation?

It seems to me that without having accepted the invitation, with a private account, others can't see the follow. Maybe I'm wrong, please correct me directly if I'm wrong.

Hey, I have been wondering for a while now but it seems I’m a bit block-headed when it comes to this particular thing and I know explaining jokes takes away the fun of it but it keeps me up sometimes and I really really want to know and be in on the joke.

A while back you reblogged(?)/posted(?) (sorry, I can’t remember) a white mug with a single rune on it and it made a lot of people snicker and laugh and I can’t find it so I can’t look it up properly but T.T i hope you remember because I cannot, for the life of me get why it’s funny and I so badly want to share the laugh, would you mind taking away the fun and explain that joke to me?

I can offer a story for compensation: a while back I was traveling with my writing class and the night before taking the trip I improvised a small ritual to ask Thor for a save journey (set out a stone I found that makes me feel safe and ate some salted ham bc cured meats keep and I felt it was appropriate, next to it a feather that emitted Loki-vibes to ask for him to remind me to be me without fearing rejection for being who I am and an acorn hat I was given by a grandpa-stranger with a blind eye to ask Odin to bless me with being able to find the right words when writing.)

I had a wonderful and safe journey, managed to draw a few nice doodles, actually outed myself as agender to my room mate in the hotel and was blessed with her calling me by a gender neutral version of my name after I told her that that makes me feel happiest (oh the euphoria, I tear up just thinking about it) And wrote a lovely little fairy tale style text about the natural transition of a (agender) child growing into a (agender, adult) human all while making lovely connections with the other participants of the class/ trip and held a small ritual after getting back home because thanks where thanks is due and also because I really wanted to give and share my gratitude.

I can’t thank you enough for the way you approach talking about the gods. You saying that sometimes the best way to build a relationship is to just. Ask them stuff? Making light conversation? Inviting them for tea/ a beverage and just hanging out? Straight up just talking to them and using discernment methods?Revolutionary, mind-boggling, superb! I always thought there had to be a certain amount of decorum and what not made me hesitant to embark on this journey (having to ask about the rune joke hopefully makes it clear how fresh and green I am lol but i feel like I found a home kinda, idk how to say it right, and I want to learn more and know more about that thing I feel my soul being pulled towards)

If you see this ask and feel like answering I give you my thanks 💕

Ah yes, you're thinking of the Laguz water mug!

The rune "ᛚ" means "water." Hence, it's a water mug.

(Unfortunately, I can't take credit for the joke because it comes from youtube video made by Overly Sarcastic Productions about Loki.)

And I'm glad you had such a great experience!

15 and 50 for the salty comics ask game

15. Tell me about a plotline that could have been interesting if anyone else wrote it.

I am an avid opponent of Gail Simone's Secret Six. I want to study it under a microscope for its truly impeccable sense of representation, which includes the mind-boggling decision to retcon a child molester into a bisexual woman and the most god-awful demonization of a WOC I have ever had the displeasure of reading. If literally anyone else had been brought to the reigns it could've been an enjoyable read, or at the very least, far less sexualized.

50. What’s something that bled into comics from a tv show or movie that you hate?

I'm owed financial compensation for everytime the text refers to Dick Grayson as Wally's best friend. Are they close friends? Yes, but it's a disservice to both of their characters to say that their relationship is the epitome of closeness that both of them have. Dick has Roy and Donna and Wally has Hartley and Linda. Like I'm fine with it in a strictly YJ medium but god bless not in my comics haha 😳🔪

#i read simone's twitter thread about her decisions regarding knockout and chesire and i was just 🥴🥴🥴 #literally how does anyone read her writing and say 'yeah this is a fine example of feminism right here!!' like no the fuck it isn't??????? #asks

Luke 24:13-33 ~ We don't know the two disciples' names. Yet. Heaven awaits. 😊 But what a story they lived. What a Bible study! It was given to them by Jesus Himself.

It was the afternoon of Resurrection Day. The two men were walking to Emmaus, a little town eight miles from Jerusalem. They were despondent and perplexed. They had heard of the empty tomb and the report of the women and Peter and John. They didn't understand. All they knew was that their Lord was dead and now gone.

As they walked along they were joined by a stranger and He listened to them conversing sadly and He asked what was wrong. They were astonished. "Where have you been? On another planet?!" No, they didn't say that last part but we would in our present culture.

But He HAD! He had gone to heaven and presented Himself, the pure, sacrificial Lamb, to God the Father!

He then began sharing the greatest Bible study ever. Beginning with Genesis at the Garden of Eden then through all the Old Testament Scriptures (the only ones there were), Jesus shared all the prophecies that HE had fulfilled from His birth, life, death and resurrection!

Wow. Can you imagine?! Jesus, the Author of the prophecies was also the living fulfillment. My mind boggles thinking about it.

The sun was setting, the men came to their home. Jesus would have walked on, for He never forces Himself on anyone. He awaits to get invited in. The disciples begged Him in, He graciously entered and as they broke bread (had dinner), He offered the blessing (another WOW!) and their eyes opened and they saw His nail-scarred hands, His loving face and were stunned with joy! Then He disappeared (again, WOW!) Though it was dark, they RAN back to Jerusalem to the Disciples to share the Good News, i.e. the GOSPEL!

Their story continues later...

Jesus walks beside you all the time, on the smooth road or rocky path. The home in your heart needs to be opened so you can invite Him in. He is loving, patient and kind. Just open up to Him and let Him share His story and love with you.

Peace. 🕆💙

Random thoughts about living

They used to keep their houses clean because every aspect of it needed to be pretty and it was pretty that really gave you inner peace.

---

I meet so much pain every day through people suffering and struggling with their everyday life. People whose pain is no fault of their own. People who chose things when they knew not better. Every time I meet these people I see a reflection of myself, of what could have been of me if I weren't simply... lucky or maybe really blessed. I used to look towards God and ask why me? Why was I spared? As time went by, as I grew older, I stopped asking myself these questions. I realised God needed me just whole enough so that I can guide his people back to him. It stands to reason to me. It's the cliché of 'you cannot pour from an empty cup' . As I grew older, I also learned it was not about guiding or preaching or healing; sometimes not even therapising (if that's a word). It was all about creating space and bearing withness with my presence so that these people, his people, don't feel alone. So He let me know what it means to be alone and at the same time He made sure that I know that He never left me alone. It boggles my mind and I'm not stating I fully understand it, but what brings peace to my soul is the understanding that all I need to do is be with them. Be with them in soul, in presence, in mind and heart.

I feel so small, so little, and yet within me resides the vastness of his eternal Love. Sometimes I feel like I'm a vessel to carry God around but then I wonder why he is so silent towards his people. Why doesn't God speak to them? Why doesn't he tell them... something?

I stop to look at my future and I wonder what will be of me, of my wishes and dreams. I hope that I will be happy and I also know that I will do everything I can to be happy that much power is given to be.

24: My relationship with my parent(s)

I would say it's fine? like neutral. Im not too close or too distant from them. We've had arguments here and there and there are tons of things I wish would've happened but at the end of the day I still respect them and just do my best for them honestly (I prefer my relationship with my mom tbh but overall almost equal sentiment for both!)

28: A description of the person I dislike the most

oh bitch don't get me started. I really fucking hate that they're so up in their mind and narcissistic as fuck that they only think about themselves and not anyone else around them. I hate that they always play the victim but in reality they are SELFISH. they live by the quote "it's my world and you're all living in it" in the worst way possible too. like? how can someone be so self centered? it boggles my mind for real! And it makes me cringe knowing I did look up to this person at some point in my life when I didnt know it (aka I was in middle school). Sigh, god bless to you I guess

“Blessed to be a Blessing” based on Psalm 67:1-5 and Genesis 12:1-4

“Take, eat; this is my body which is given to you. Do this in remembrance of me.���

“Do this as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.”

These words in our traditional communion liturgy connect the Last Supper of Jesus to our communion table here today, to every communion table around the world today, to every communion table in history, to every communion table in the future, AND to every table we sit at to eat.

They extend even further. The extend to the tables that are empty of food, and to the people who lack tables, and those who have neither. The words connect as well to our siblings in faith around the world who are displaced from their homes – migrants, assylum seekers, and those who have been evicted. It can boggle the mind, the ways the Table of God connects us!

The words of Jesus, at the Last Supper as recorded in the Synoptic Gospels tell us to remember every time we eat and every time we drink. The communion liturgy just reminds us of that. Every time, we are to remember that we are God's. Every time, we are to remember that's God's love is steadfast. Every time we are to remember that we are blessed by God to be a blessing for the whole world. Every time we are to remember that Jesus remembered God's mighty acts of salvation – at the Passover – and added to them the reminders that we are capable of continuing his ministry as the living Body of Christ.

Every time we eat. Every time we drink.

We remember.

We're called back to our purpose: we've been sent out to share love.

We've been sent out to continue the work of Jesus, of calling people back to God, and God's vision of abundance for everyone. To the work of community, of relationship, of listening, of learning, of love.

And today we remember those who have plenty and those who have nothing. Those who are at peace and those who can't find any peace. Those who are afraid and those who are filled with joy. God's table is for all.

In Genesis Abraham is blessed by God, or so our stories go. Today's little passage makes sense of it. His blessing is that he gets to be a blessing for the world. It isn't for him. Blessings aren't meant for just one, they're for sharing. Eventually it came to be known that the ancient Israelites, too, were blessed. They too were blessed to be a blessing for the whole world.

The World Communion Table is, at first, just the communion table set and celebrated in many churches on the same day. But it is so much more than that too. It breaks down the barriers in our faith, it connects us, and it reminds us that we, too, are blessed to be a blessing. Not to hold on to anything God gives us, but to share it widely.

And so, today, we unite our table with many others around the world, and then we extend our table from the one in this room to the ones in the Fellowship Hall. And hopefully at supper time we remember that the tables have stretched just a little bit further to our own homes. And tomorrow at breakfast we can think about some loved ones we've shared meals with and pray for them and their tables. We'll try to understand the immensity of God's love, and the multitude of ways God seeks to feed God's people. So that when we sit to eat, we remember.

And we're grateful.

To be blessed.

To be blessings.

To be connected.

And now we move towards God's table, to start this journey again. Thanks be to God who uses food and drink to remind us of what we need to know most. Amen

The blatant proof before you - 5D

The only thing that these communities ever do with such; is simply pile up on the karma and get blocked on more levels; you would think that the state of your life would go within and get right; rather than continue to look to get in others lanes and cause even more BS and damage thus bringing more BS and damage back;

The past will never 'win' with such tactics; for the scenes and scent of such is known before you ever arrive; and all will be blocked;

I would never ever ever work, or even connect with any of the past - and charges will be pressed to the coven, and spell casters and all involved ~

I am no ones meal ticket and the selfish will attract what you are -

The darkness is seen in the eyes that do not hold God, and the heart that is not vibrating in pure joy, love; vibration is everything - truth is truth; your life is your proof - and I owe none; you have all done so much damage and destruction - there are authorities watching all of you =

Blessings - Women are independent and sovereign -

I owe none;

Joanna

false claims, deceitful shady ways are those that simply steal, take and fake and when life gets rough for them, due to their own choices and beliefs - rather than healing, they simply come up with new schemes - stealing will bring you more karma - my goodness - years and years of the same cycle....mind-boggling

Features to Consider When Buying a Dressing Table

Adding a stylish dressing table to your bedroom may be a great way to personalize the space while also serving a practical purpose. A dressing table is a great spot to keep all of your essentials, such as cosmetics, skincare products, and jewelry, in one area as you get dressed in the morning. There are a few things to consider while picking out a vanity table.

Mirrors are a common fixture on dressing tables. Such mirrors can be found in sets with built-in tabletop fixtures or purchased separately for wall mounting. Consider whether or not the dressing table comes with a mirror when making your final decision. In addition, some individuals like to have a mirror that is a perfect match for their table, while others like to have a mirror that stands out. You should choose the option that best suits your needs.

Determining how much space you need is also crucial. We provide tables with no drawers and as many as ten. Look into getting a table with many drawers if you have a lot of toiletries that you want to keep out of sight. Select one without shelves if you'd want to highlight the aesthetic value of your products in a minimalist setting.

When shopping for vanity, it's important to keep the room's dimensions in mind. It ought to look and feel like it belongs in the space, with the other pieces of furniture. It's also important that a dressing table complement the existing decor of the room. With little diligence and research, you should be able to track down the ideal table to suit your taste and requirements.

The dressing table is a staple in the bedroom or closet of many ladies. In the morning, you may use these tables to get ready for the day without having to stand in front of the bathroom mirror or fumble around for your belongings. Also, it's a great spot to decompress at the end of the day by washing your face and taking off your jewelry. It can help you feel less rushed and harried at the start and finish of each day.

There are additional uses for a dressing table that are often overlooked. They can serve as a showcase for your wares. Put those fancy fragrances on display with the help of a dressing table. These tables can also serve as a covert hiding spot for valuables. You can get a table with drawers to store your valuables and other items you'd rather keep out of sight.

Furthermore, these tables have the potential to impart personality to a space. You may find them in almost any shape, shade, or design imaginable. Consider a table that stands out from the rest of the furniture in the room if you want to make a statement. Look for an identical match if you want it to fit in with the decor of the area. Whether you're looking to match or stand out from the rest of your furnishings, a table is a versatile and essential addition to any room.

A dressing table, because playing dress-up begins at the age of five and never really ends.

To God, in a woman's prayer, "Please, God, bless me with a lot of money so I can buy all the clothes I've ever wanted, the cosmetics that will make me look even better, the accessories that will make me look stunning, and the ideal vanity that will allow me to spend as much time as I like admiring my reflection. When it's all said and done, offer me a partner who will constantly extol my virtues."

Dress-up is a pastime that starts at age five and never really stops for girls because girls have an innate urge to dress up in the most fantastical of ways and because they enjoy playing with a wide variety of colors. It all started when her mother brought home a trunk full of frilly dresses and skirts, complete with matching bellies and hairbands. As she matures into a gorgeous young girl, she develops a taste of her own, a style that's distinctive and her new selection consists of a mind-boggling collection of cosmetics ranging from dark black kohl for lovely eyes, the versatility of lipsticks and an entire spectrum of nail polish. By the time she's ready to get married she operates a cosmetic store of her own, in the house and she names it her charming "Dressing Table."

A woman's dressing table becomes her favorite piece of furniture in her room, and she makes valiant efforts to organize this table with the most trendy accessories, that other women covet. This lavish bed sets a cheerful tone in the room and quickly becomes her go-to confidante.

While it's true that most contemporary dwellings provide a dedicated area for the female members of the household, there are still some exceptions. If you don't already have a large and lavish dressing table in your home, you should stop procrastinating and go online to place an order for one right this second. When it comes to your appearance, as the woman of the house, you should always remember that you are deserving of the best.

More compelling arguments in favor of purchasing a vanity table are as follows:

Peaceful and inviting surroundings for you to relax in. Because of the stress of juggling domestic and professional responsibilities, many women look for a quiet retreat when they need to unwind. They must have a dressing table in their room so they may sit in front of the mirror and vent their feelings without judgment from others.

You are the object of a person's admiration and desire. Possessing a dressing table in your home can be quite helpful if you want a reliable friend who always compliments you. Keep in mind that you, yourself, are the object of admiration and that this magnificent piece of furniture is the finest way to attract admirers.

It doesn't say anything, therefore it won't tell you that you're looking chubby. A woman's worst fear is being seen as overweight. Do you get annoyed when your partner gives you a positive response to your tiny black dress because you think it makes you appear fat? Oh well, that won't be the case anymore. You need to invest in a dressing table and spend time in front of it, praising yourself for the unique individual that you are. Just give it a kind nod and you'll get one right back.

The ideal piece of furniture for storing all of your beauty supplies. Is it all the tiny things that bother you that is getting to you? Have you been racking your brain trying to remember where you put your red lipstick so you can apply it before your big date? You won't have to worry about it if you invest in a dressing table with a couple of drawers. You may organize your pricey cosmetics, hair accessories, and other items in their own separate compartments, making it easier to find what you need when you need it.

An understated dressing table in the bedroom can quickly become a trusted companion. It's also undeniable that this magnificent piece of furniture motivates every lady to always look her best.

My favorite canon fact from Lord of the Rings:

"We have heard tell that Legolas took Gimli Glóin's son with him because of their great friendship, greater than any that has been between Elf and Dwarf. If this is true, then it is strange indeed: that a Dwarf should be willing to leave Middle-earth for any love, or that the Eldar should receive him, or that the Lords of the West should permit it. But it is said that Gimli went also out of desire to see again the beauty of Galadriel; and it may be that she, being mighty among the Eldar, obtained this grace for him. More cannot be said of this matter."

-- Appendix A, The Return of the King

This is wild. The idea that Legolas took Gimli with him into the West, to the blessed realm of Valinor beyond the sea (basically the Elf equivalent of the afterlife) is BONKERS. That shouldn't be possible. It breaks all the rules of the universe. And Professor Tolkien knows this, because he's the one who wrote the rules in the first place.

I can't stress enough how big a deal this is. For so many reasons:

1. The last time someone tried to enter Valinor without permission, it nearly destroyed the world.

When the last king of Numenor (the great island nation where Aragon's ancestors came from), sailed an armada into the West to try to steal eternal life by force, God broke and reshaped the world to stop it from happening. God ripped Valinor out of the earth and hid it, which sunk Numenor beneath the ocean in a giant tidal wave like Atlantis, and then he took the rest of the earth, which used to be FLAT, and bent it into a round globe, so ships would always sail in a circle back to where they started. Only elf-ships can find the hidden path which continues in a straight line, where the flat earth used to be, up and out of the atmosphere of the curved earth to reach the ancient West of Valinor. So yeah: kind of a big deal. The Powers-that-be take that shit seriously.

2. Dwarves were not part of God's original Plan.

So, in Tolkien's world, there are many "gods" with a lower-case "g", but only one GOD with a capital "G". The all-seeing, all-wise creator of the world is Eru Iluvatar: The One, the Father-of-All. The great Powers entrusted with governing individual aspects of the World day-to-day are the Valar. The Valar are not technically gods; they are actually created beings more like archangels, but in practice they function almost exactly like the pagan gods from Greek or Norse mythology. Tolkien's world is ultimately monotheistic at the top level, but with that old-school polytheistic flavor in the middle bits.

Elves and Men are the Children of Iluvatar. They were the two races of thinking, speaking beings planned from the beginning and created solely by Iluvatar himself. The Dwarves were not. The Dwarves were made in secret by Aule the Smith, the god of crafting (like Hephaestus or Vulcan), without getting permission from Iluvatar first. Iluvatar allowed the Dwarves to exist and put souls into them, but insisted they had to wait for their turn, after the awakening of Elves and Men, before they could awaken into the world.

Elves believe that when Dwarves die, they turn back into the earth and stone from which they were made. However, the Dwarves believe that they will sleep beneath the earth until the End of the World, and then finally Iluvatar will make them honorary, adopted Children and they will help Aule rebuild the world after the Last Battle.

All of that is a long way of saying: Only Elves are allowed entry into Valinor. Men are forbidden to set foot there, even though they are Children of Iluvatar. If Men can't, then Dwarves definitely can't.

The idea of Legolas rucking up to the shores of Aman in a rowboat with a living Dwarf onboard, and then just looking Mandos and Manwe in the eye and saying, "Hi I'm Legolas, this is my friend Gimli: He goes where I go. Let us in." -- It's mind-boggling. I love it.

Within the rules of the cosmology, there's no rational explanation for why that should be allowed, other than Tolkien wanted it that way. I think Tolkien just liked Legolas and Gimli's friendship so much he couldn't bear to separate them, and just thought, eh, I can break my own rules this once, to give them a happy ending. I love it.

Milenials lived there life on the rules of their parents and inherited these beautiful myths and mind-boggling rules from em' and then they grew and learnt up communication and using internet like things(and the feature of 20th century they loved most was copy-pasting, omggg don't tell me you got there without even reading further...still move on and continue, ahh that's what we all do?!!) and started believing that they have begun to become cool dudes and would be great parents so they f*cked up and created puppets. Since we all know they are cool dudes they know much better for us and all the things they have experienced and learnt till date they started copy-pasting them(ahh you see their fav thing..they like to do it so they do it everytime) on their puppets(ya that's the name I can think of) and made them dance on their fingers.

Then came our beautiful society..ohh myyy god I can't emphasize how much I love this society thing, they give us both humour and trauma simultaneously (so much talented people around us?? Right?? U knew that before huh??!!) They have nose like us but the funny thing is that it is never there where it is supposed to be and always there where it is not supposed to be, ohh they do this thing trust me, they manage to control where their nose would reside, till when and how...so much powers they have(ahh that's a secret you know bcz they themselves never managed to know this so shhh don't tell em' about it!!! You know why!?? they will get hurt huh!! So bite your tongue and stay shut) and the owners of these puppets become puppet of these society dieties, dancing on their fingers, ohh gosh u know they will never bother themselves by asking a simple question that " why the heck in this world they are dancing without their own will having this feeling that the moves are their own "....and then make their little puppets dance according to their own moves. But God blessed these little puppets of 21st century they bother themselves with this question everytime or I shall say this question bothers them everytime our 'great society' tries to step on their toes...

Now they bother their masters with this question...you see?? To bring some change bcz, why not!!?? But these experienced and cool dude masters dancing vaguely know well about their puppets, you know??! They are smart huh!!! Very much experienced huh!?? So they shut the mouth of these little puppets either by bribing them or by grounding them. Yeah that simple ... now they are raising puppets who will grow up and they'll for sure cut their own strings to which they were made to dance for years and they will escape, grow, enrich their knowledge, explore, build buisness, love and definitely live rather than just existing making sure not to f*ck up just to create puppets rather they will create children with values, high self esteem, intrigued for knowledge and simply much muchhh better than their all ancestors and their ownself also.

Not planned at all it's just like my mind exploded and all the lava decided to take the form of words.. with this I just hope whosoever reading this will never ever f*ck up to create puppets rather will try their best to cut the string of the puppets around them. I know really well that it is easier said then done but who knows that your one try could provide a whole new life to someone....

OK, so. I just finished the quest “In Your Heart Shall Burn” and I have so many thoughts I just really need to put them somewhere alkfjaskd

Expect this post to be very unorganized and emotional xD

Alright. So, from a purely technical standpoint, this is not the best game I have ever played. There are many glitches here and there, both in the game mechanic and in the visual (though one could argue that they aren’t too annoying and kind of add to the game’s charme in their own way). But damn if this isn’t literaly the best game I have ever played alkdjfasl

I’ve put in nearly 40 hours of gameplay by now and it still feels very much like things are just getting started. There is so fucking much to see, do explore, experience. Even the smallest maps feel huge. There is so much dialog and cutscenes with your companions and advisors. Every single character feels so lovingly designed and thought through and fleshed out. Even those you only talk to once and then move on have beautiful designes, unique voices and characters that shine through.

The one trillion tiny side quests can seem a bit annyoing or overwhelming at times xD But they are still a nice way to be incentivised to explore the maps and a neat way to kill time as you wait for war table operations to finish (though, bless whoever decided to make them run in real time and not in game time aldfjkasld). And damn if the scenery isn’t fucking worth every second of exploring you get to do. I have said this before, but this has got to be one of the most beautiful games I’ve had the pleasure of laying eyes on so far. Granted I am not exactly a hardcore gamer but I’ve played my bit and to me, this is just mind-boggling.

And, oh gods, the main quests. Holy sh*t, really. I am completely blown away. The beauty. The story. The length of the cutscenes. It’s like watching an actual move. But it never gets annoying or seems like it is swallowing the game up, because there still is so much actual game around them. They are so emotional and beautifully done. I am like 20% through the main story arch rn (so I’ve been told) and damn if this story isn’t f*cking amazing.

And there are a lot of other things aside from the story itself, that make this game so amazing. Usually, a lot of games in their design, their characters and their stories are very much aimed at straight men. Which is not to say that they cannot be enjoyable also, but. This game is very much different and I can’t even begin to say how emotional this has me. The entire series so far has been so lovely about representation and everything, adding so many canonically bi characters already. But not only does DAI have two canonically gay characters (one gay, one lesbian, as you do :D), it also offers: Two bi characters, one of them a BDSM tinted romance experience, a possibly autistic or otherwise neurodivergent character, a canonically trans character (let that sink in for a second please. In a fantasy setting. In a huge game of this margin). The latter is not one of the companions, but he plays a decent role and I absolutely love him. All of these characters are created with so much depth and care and respect (as I have already mentioned) and each romance option comes with its own, unique flavor.

Not to mention how much love and detail the game mechanics themselves have to offer. Like, for example, someone had to come up with those quadrillion little side quests xD Those mind-boggling maps had to be designed. But you can also, craft your own weapons, your own armor, chose armor and weapons for all of your companions. There are so many different designs for armor and weapons. Each companion has their own stile you can chose to further cultivate or stray from. Armour can be modified and upgraded in a way that visually changes it. It can be tintet! In five different ways (metal parts, leather parts, cloth parths, some of those devided into two supparts). There are so many ways you can create unique looks. Your Inquisitor has an entire wardrobe of different formal and casual wears just for when you are strolling around the whole as keep you will eventually acquire. (which I just did and my mind is blown. I have been running around in it for like half an hour and I still haven’t seen all of it. bloody hell). There are like five (or more) categories of mounds you can get and all of them are so cool. You can customize your fucking castle. I repeat YOU CAN CUSTOMIZE YOUR F*CKING CASTLE. You can choose the windows, the courtains, the beds, the tapestries and so on. Like, never have I played an RPG that offers this level of an experience. And you know what the best part of all of this is? The thing that in this day and age feels almost mind-blowing? None of those features cost you any extra money. They are all just included in the game. (I mean they do cost you gold xD But you cannot buy gold, you need to collect it in the game, that’s it).

It’s just, the amount of love that was so clearly put into this game, a game made for a community of people that is clearly not the usual sell... man. I don’t know. I’m just feeling a lot of things right now xD I needed to digest that a bit and now it is everyone’s problem haha. Anyway. Back to fun little reaction posts now xD

Also, I took a handful of screenshots earlier and I will make another post with them the next time I start up my PC (am on Laptop right now, easier to think). If you actually stuck around to read all of this, I apologize for my ramblings and thank you. Please know that I love and appreciate you xD

So, they told us they are the biggest Sherlock nerds who made the most elaborate fan fiction and got everything right until they made everything "got to hell".

Which Sherlock aficionado, in their right mind, would have a world-renowned series and not include The Three Garridebs in a proper way and not hanging in a nonsensical episode?

Why would they let the whole thing end at a point where nothing makes sense - John hitting Sherlock and never talking about it and they both walking on eggshells around each other raising a child together? *absolutely love parentlock but not the way S4 portrayed*

Why...oh why...would they want to make Mary the self-sacrificing hero??? Narrating the S4 finale and saying My Bakerstreet Boys *cringe*? NO *controls the rant about how Mary is absolutely a villain*

All that built up to what? A super-human villainous sister who wants attention? Come on.*takes a deep breath, S4 is all metaphorical/a big fat lie/EMP/John's alibi/blog theory*

It boggles my mind- what was the plan? Let's leave them with 21,568 unanswered questions by the end of S4 and then think about what to do next in...let's say...a decade?

Most of the time I think if Una Stubbs (god bless her with 100 more years) would want to work again as Mrs. Hudson and if her health would permit it by the time they even decide if they're gonna do another one. Like, I can't think of anyone else as Mrs Hudson!
