And more: Rhaenyra being named heir by Viseys was irrelevant. When the lords named Viserys king instead of Rhaenys, they created a precedent of the lords being the ones to choose the ruler of Westeros, and preferring the male bloodline. So she knew Rhaenyra’s claim would most likely be disputed, and that her sons would be in danger for that. And Rhaenyra having bastard children was another reason for her claim being disputed, as the lords would not accept a bastard king. That was also a reason for refusing a match between Jacaerys and Helaena. That would actually be incredibly reckless. The more I look at it, the more it seems like some sort of civil war was bound to happen.

No one in Westeros follows a precedent unless it aligns with their beliefs. It's the same with history and modern times. Nothing in the past matters unless it happens to benefit you in particular. Rhaenyra's claim was always going to be disputed, precedent or not, because as you stated, it is a patriarchal society, so using the precent as an argument for anything is just moot to me. If Viserys had a bit more Daemon in him, it might have actually worked out, maybe, but he's a people pleaser until the end, and that is inevitably what screws Rhaenyra over the most in my opinion, and that plays into her children's parentage too.

Slight variations depending on the choices you make explains it fairly well. I got the best ending when I just played normally so it’s entirely possible you could too (although after you do finish I’ll send you the dialogues for the endings because there’s good character stuff there)

Can you replay the ending multiple times on the same save? Because that would be cool to try and get a few diff endings

🦎 [Do tell of the Colds/Saiyan business relationship, you have caught my attention]

Momo Talks About Shit So She Doesn't Fall Asleep At Work || Open!

[Ask and ye shall receive.

So I think in a few words, the relationship between the Colds and Saiyans was tense but mutually beneficial for most of it. I've sort of gotten the impression that King Cold was more...hands off? Like he made the agreement, supplied them with marching orders and whatever tech or supplies they would need to be effective, and intervened only if absolutely necessary. The Saiyans got to fight like they wanted and got paid for it and the Cold Empire got a sizeable addition to their army, one that literally pumps out guaranteed warriors every generation due to the Saiyan lifestyle.

Don't get me wrong. I don't think everything was rainbows and roses during King Cold's reign, but I think the issues were...easier to blow off? Like there was most likely a culture clash as well as dealing with a new king who just gained power figuring out how to maintain his own power while, in some ways, handing it over to someone else, plus there probably was pushback on even making the agreement at first. The Colds have never hidden their racism, and I doubt they did back then either. But, at the end of the day as I mentioned in a previous post, I think the Saiyans were overall content to serve in the Empire's army because I think they were allowed to keep most of their sovereignty, and I honestly wouldn't be surprised if King Cold had a more, "You run this show for me and I'll only step in where necessary" sort of approach if that makes sense? Like basically the opposite of micromanaging the Saiyans (or perhaps any similar conquests) and letting their monarchy govern as they chose so long as the work got done. More like a collaboration to a degree? A toxic one I'm sure but a collaboration nonetheless.

I think a lot changed when Frieza took over. While King Cold was ruthless, I feel Frieza made him look like a kitten. From what I see and how i interpreted King Cold, daddy seemed more...business minded. Ruled with an iron fist still but was able to and did negotiate. Frieza I feel was very my way or the highway to the finest details. He took advantage of his power--physical and as the emperor--to not only get what he wanted but to torment whoever he saw fit because no one could touch him. I think he put the Saiyans on a much tighter and degrading leash than his father had, and this created further tension and outright hatred of the Empire among the Saiyans who, by their own right, were becoming more powerful and a force to be reckoned with on their own. I think it was Frieza's takeover that really tipped the scale toward more murmuring of revolt, even if it wasn't always serious. Until we look at King Vegeta III, and the more I do look at him, the more interesting his position becomes and mmmmmm. I won't go on about that here BUT. He was a POS but he had balls sometimes, in short.

ANYWAY, I think the Saiyans becoming restless conquering planets for someone else rather than themselves was inevitable, but I think Frieza's delight in the suffering of others and the overbearing and stricter changes he likely made really exacerbated the tensions. And I wouldn't be surprised if he did that on purpose just to see what would happen. I wouldn't be surprised if he was the reason the Saiyan caste system became as strict as it did either, which was the cause of a lot of internal strife for the Saiyans, but that might be giving the Saiyan elite too much slack (though, with Frieza growing to fear the power of the Saiyans and HCs I have about how he purposefully made sure that the jobs he sent Vegeta and the squad on would not allow too much opportunity for growth and kept their training opportunities at a minimum to keep them from getting too strong or becoming super saiyans, I think there is something there potentially).

This is also why I like the relationship between the Colds and the Saiyans to be much longer than a few years: it offers so much more to the story, even with how little we actually get of anything before Planet Vegeta was destroyed. I like the complications it allows and, instead of seeing a people either complacent to the end or always just agitated by their relationship with the empire, it better allows for BOTH, as well as gives more room to speculate over how things got to where they ended up and, for the Colds, how differently they dealt with their subjects (if at all; obviously this is all just how I've read it from the scraps we get).]

#.:ooc:. #.:ask:. #cxldtyrant #i feel like i had more to say #and cooler didnt get a mention but i didnt really think he probably dealt with the Saiyans? #idk maybe you can share your hcs on that ;3

because sometimes there are invisible tests and invisible rules and you're just supposed to ... know the rule. someone you thought of as a friend asks you for book recommendations, so you give her a list of like 30 books, each with a brief blurb and why you like it. later, you find out she screenshotted the list and send it out to a group chat with the note: what an absolute freak can you believe this. you saw the responses: emojis where people are rolling over laughing. too much and obsessive and actually kind of creepy in the comments. you thought you'd been doing the right thing. she'd asked, right? an invisible rule: this is what happens when you get too excited.

you aren't supposed to laugh at your own jokes, so you don't, but then you're too serious. you're not supposed to be too loud, but then people say you're too quiet. you aren't supposed to get passionate about things, but then you're shy, boring. you aren't supposed to talk too much, but then people are mad when you're not good at replying.

you fold yourself into a prettier paper crane. since you never know what is "selfish" and what is "charity," you give yourself over, fully. you'd rather be empty and over-generous - you'd rather eat your own boundaries than have even one person believe that you're mean. since you don't know what the thing is that will make them hate you, you simply scrub yourself clean of any form of roughness. if you are perfect and smiling and funny, they can love you. if you are always there for them and never admit what's happening and never mention your past and never make them uncomfortable - you can make up for it. you can earn it.

don't fuck up. they're all testing you, always. they're tolerating you. whatever secret club happened, over a summer somewhere - during some activity you didn't get to attend - everyone else just... figured it out. like they got some kind of award or examination that allowed them to know how-to-be-normal. how to fit. and for the rest of your life, you've been playing catch-up. you've been trying to prove that - haha! you get it! that the joke they're telling, the people they are, the manual they got- yeah, you've totally read it.

if you can just divide yourself in two - the lovable one, and the one that is you - you can do this. you can walk the line. they can laugh and accept you. if you are always-balanced, never burdensome, a delight to have in class, champagne and glittering and never gawky or florescent or god-forbid cringe: you can get away with it.

you stare at your therapist, whom you can make jokes with, and who laughs at your jokes, because you are so fucking good at people-pleasing. you smile at her, and she asks you how you're doing, and you automatically say i'm good, thanks, how are you? while the answer swims somewhere in your little lizard brain:

how long have you been doing this now? mastering the art of your body and mind like you're piloting a puppet. has it worked? what do you mean that all you feel is... just exhausted. pick yourself up, the tightrope has no net. after all, you're cheating, somehow, but nobody seems to know you actually flunked the test. it's working!

aren't you happy yet?

thinking about how Humans Are Space Orcs stories always talk about how indestructible humans are, our endurance, our ability to withstand common poisons, etc. and thats all well and good, its really fun to read, but it gets repetitive after a while because we aren't all like that.

And that got me thinking about why this trope is so common in the first place, and the conclusion I came to is actually kind of obvious if you think about it. Not everyone is allowed to go into space. This is true now, with the number of physical restrictions placed on astronauts (including height limits), but I imagine it's just as strict in some imaginary future where humans are first coming into contact with alien species. Because in that case there will definitely be military personnel alongside any possible diplomatic parties.

And I imagine that all interactions aliens have ever had up until this point have been with trained personnel. Even basic military troops conform to this standard, to some degree. So aliens meet us and they're shocked and horrified to discover that we have no obvious weaknesses, we're all either crazy smart or crazy strong (still always a little crazy, academia and war will do that to you), and not only that but we like, literally all the same height so there's no way to tell any of us apart.

And Humans Are Death Worlders stories spread throughout the galaxy. Years or decades or centuries of interspecies suspicion and hostilities preventing any alien from setting foot/claw/limb/appendage/etc. on Earth until slowly more beings are allowed to come through. And not just diplomats who keep to government buildings, but tourists. Exchange students. Temporary visitors granted permission to go wherever they please, so they go out in search of 'real terran culture' and what do they find?

Humans with innate heart defects that prevent them from drinking caffeine. Humans with chronic pain and chronic fatigue who lack the boundless endurance humans are supposedly famous for. Humans too tall or too short or too fat to be allowed into space. Humans who are so scared of the world they need to take pills just to function. Humans with IBS who can't stand spicy foods, capsaicin really is poison to them. Lactose intolerance and celiac disease, my god all the autoimmune disorders out there, humans who struggle to function because their own bodies fight them. Humans who bruise easily and take too long to heal. Humans who sustained one too many concussions and now struggle to talk and read and write. Humans who've had strokes. Humans who were born unable to talk or hear or speak, and humans who through some accident lost that ability later.

Aliens visit Earth, and do you know what they find? Humanity, in all its wholeness.

i think in the hamster wheel of my mind a big part of where people go wrong with eddie and his shitty garage band as an extension is that they for some bizarre reason think he's gene simmons metal when he's jack black metal. heavy metal. he's tenacious d metal. he's school of rock. he's stoner lord of the rings metal he nearly wore blue jeans and plaid. jack black literally in real life once said eddie was the best character bc he's heavy metal like him. LOOK AT THIS

#🍦 #answer it's bc people think he's some mishmash of all alternative scenes without any actual knowledge of where the mashing occurs 😭 #eddie is . a heavy metal guy. A cool one. a nice one even. he likes rock and roll #it's so funny when ppl try and describe it and they've never heard the stuff he actually listens to in their lives for some reason #literally so much of the appeal of eddie's character within his subculture is that its theatrical and dramatic but its still grounded #he's very alternative and Out There but he's still just some guy. he's not wearing spiked leather jackets #in fact he's not wearing any of the other kinds of leather jackets i've seen people say he would ... TO ME #sts #if u haven't seen the clip he then proceeds to air guitar the MoP melody then shouts heavy metal is everywhere #i don't even know how to explain this bc it's like ... okay #the general .. VIBE? aestheticsm? is kind of similar to what people sometimes portray but they're missing thst it's tongue in cheek #like it's like that buff poster of him being this anachronistic homage to heavy metal album covers #fire and satanic imagery and skulls and lightning and big drama and ROCK AND ROLL #it's rock and ROLL man... #and people r making him this weird sanitised dork LOL 😭 when he's a dork in a different more fun way.. imo #and it's not that those types of people don't exist and that they're not cool in their own way cuz they are sure but that's not THIS GUY #he is an 80S METALHEAD... and yeah i try and ground him in thinfs and poke and prod at it until it fits my own understanding of alternative #scenes better but that's bc i've had a hand in the punk scene for years and years #i dunno sometimes i feel like ppl r just not doing the full potential and then going way too hard in this super specific direction #and he ends up first of all usually just a massive douchebag not sure what that's about. But a guy who he would in canon HATE 😭 #YOU ARE MAKING HIM A POSER. is what i'm saying #he is alwyas some guy before he's anything else and before he's that he's a 20 year old loser #you need to reflect this... You need to bottle it. ugh. ugh #so much of this reminds me of the time someone was like he would never wear PLAID #like are you kidding me. are you actually kidding me rn #ppl have this weird arstheticised mostly modern and mostly literallt just eboy Idea of what he'd wear it's crazy to me sorry #also it's ugly #i also think. this is so long lol . anyway . i also think going too ''authentic'' in the 80s metalhead direction also lands u w different #problems. my advice to people trying to write or draw alternative characters is they are People. before they are anything else #🍏

[melrosing]

payne revelation!!! think it is a nice AFFC parallel that Brienne is running around the riverlands with Podrick Payne as her new squire, whilst Jaime, elsewhere in the riverlands, has effectively become a squire to Ilyn Payne. and I think it's like. Pod is Brienne's past and Ilyn is Jaime's future. Pod is a lonely, discarded child who wants to hone his strength to stand tall and defend himself, even as he desperately craves the company and comfort of others. he has seen something of how cruel the world can be, but is looking for ideals in people like Brienne. which is more or less exactly as we find Brienne when she first appears in ACOK: lonely, discarded, clinging onto Renly's train and desperately seeking his attention and regard, idealising him, trying to be a knight worthy of song. Pod is her inner child, and Brienne is trying to help him grow and build his strength without subjecting him to the cruelties she's known in doing so.

and then there's jaime and ilyn lmao, who I think are easily one of the most underrated relationships in the series. Jaime sees the man he could become in Ilyn: nothing more than a headsman for Cersei's whims, with no agency and no autonomy. and what's more, Ilyn has come to accept that as his lot in life. part of Jaime's project in dragging him out into the riverlands is to see if Ilyn can be rehabilitated, and if so, then perhaps Jaime himself can be, too. but it becomes apparent that Ilyn is past wanting that for himself. he seems to enjoy some of the freedom of the march, but he doesn't change. in fact, he laughs in Jaime's face: he makes it feel as though attempting rehabilitation for either of them is a joke. he's Jaime's ghost of christmas future, warning him of the man he could become, whilst simultaneously making him feel there's no possible alternative. he will never fight like he once did, his darkest deeds were still done, and what can he do but spend the rest of his days in Cersei's service. BUT jaime ultimately rejects that, effectively leaving Cersei's service to join Brienne, and pursuing change regardless.

im about to say something!!!! payne..... pane..... pane of glass.... mirror!!!! reflection!!!!! growth!!!!! you heard it here FIRST

#jaime lannister #brienne of tarth #podrick payne #ilyn payne #asoiaf #i want to write lots more about jaime and ilyn in the next part of the riverlands essay it's on my mind now #i feel like maybe i spoiled part of it there idk #but there wasn't going to be room to talk about brienne and pod in there so whatever i had to say this....

I'll be honest if youre a strictly digital artist you should pick up some sort of physical hobby art. Stamp carving/needlefelting/etc. Maybe get a single carving knife and just start whittling twigs like some sort of cowboy. Having something more tactile to do with your hands can be a lot more relaxing and grounding than paper or screen art is in my experience its really good for nerves

#i know physical art runs into a more expensive territory than digital #which is probably the biggest barrier #hell the stamp thing was something i had been eyeballing for like 2 years because everythings like 30-50 bucks minimum #but i feel like just running a carving knife over wood from a stick would be a similar sort of meditative thing #although if your someone with bad hand strength i would say soap or rubber would work best since wood is a bit harder #t.extpost
