Daenerys Targaryen and Ophelia: An Essay

I wrote this a while back, just after Season 8 ended. After a few edits, I decided to share it with you! Disclaimer: I wrote this fueled with rage at 11 at night for two weeks straight. Don’t judge.

Part 1: The Heroine Goes Absolutely Bats**t Crazy

Ophelia. Known throughout time as That Crazy Chick Who Drowned Herself. What a legacy. And Daenerys: She Who Toasted A City Like Marshmallows And Then Was Offed By Her Nephew/Lover. The sad thing is, these are my heroes. What a life. But the ‘Insane Heroine’ trope is prevalent in many forms of media – Dark Phoenix is another example. At first glance, Daenerys and Ophelia have very little in common; Daenerys is a powerful and assertive leader, and Ophelia is a background love interest. The one thing that unites them – they go crazy because of rejected love. While their descent into madness is slightly different; Ophelia is pitiful, Daenerys aggressive, both end up dying indirectly or directly as a result of their lover. Lovely. Let’s talk first about Ophelia – She is rebuffed Hamlet, the original pathetic sad boy, and at the death of her father, goes insane. After several performances of her insanity, she makes her way to a river where she falls (or throws?) herself into the water and drowns. This is witnessed by Gertrude, who then goes on to tell her brother Laertes of her death. It’s a pretty monologue, describing the flowers and plants growing along the riverbank, and how pretty and peaceful she looked as she sank under water and DIED. Remember this. Then my girl Daenerys Stormborn of House Targaryen, First of Her Name, Queen of the Andals and the First Men etc. etc. Oh boy. Ohhhhhh boy. What can I say except **************** ***** ** **********. Thank you for your time. But she like Ophelia, was scorned by her Boyfriend Who Felt It Was Just A Little Weird That She Was His Aunt. But like, your paternal grandparents and the rest of your great-whatever grandparents were siblings, and your maternal grandparents were cousins so… But I digress. Wait no, this is what it’s all about. I’m back! I un-digress! So, she goes ‘insane’ cause she can’t get laid (don’t we all?) and roasts a whole lot of people and becomes… Hitler for some reason… So, Boyfriend Who Felt It Was Just A Little Weird That She Was His Aunt And Really Wishes He Can Just Catch A Break For Once Is It Really Too Much Too Ask is egged on by Murder Sister™ and Smarty Pants McGee to kill her. Just like my friends! He makes out with her and stabs her (best of both worlds!) and she dies. Very prettily. Remember this. You know. YOU KNOW I’m going to rant about this.

Part 2: Heroic Man Kills The Crazy Lady Like The Feral Dog She Is (But Feels Sad About It)

Trope as old as time… why is this still fine… surely there’s a better plot deviiiiiice. “Duty is the death of love…” Shut up. Shut up. No, it isn’t. There is a thing called multitasking. You should try it. But let’s recap. Woman goes crazy because of lover/hero of the story rebuffing her because he’s got issues of his own that he doesn’t care to share with her, and close friend/family member is killed. This is when the paths of the Hero diverge. Hamlet does not actually kill Ophelia himself, but his careless actions towards her eventually drive her to suicide. Jon, on the other hand, does kill Daenerys, (no, I’m not mad. I’m just disappointed) by a knife to the heart while snogging her. (I’d like to take the opportunity to say that this was ridiculous and yes, I will die mad about it.) What else is similar? Hamlet holds Ophelia’s (or in some adaptations tries to) dead body in his arms as she is about to be buried and Jon holds Daenerys as she dies. They cry and wish it didn’t have to be this way, but really guys, this is Your Fault.

The problem with this trope in particular (and I’m talking about a lot of other examples here, like Dark Phoenix and Wolverine) is that it renders the killer sympathetic. They didn’t want to do this, but it was for the good of humanity, it was a mercy, blah blah blah. Really? Did someone make you kill her? No, a sense of moral justice does not count. Hamlet abuses and humiliates Ophelia then claims he loved her so much that ‘forty thousand brothers could not…” Creepy. I have to say, creepy. And Jon Snow. “Was it right? It doesn’t feel right…” I’m glad you came to that conclusion. I really am. But I knew this from the moment you stuffed that butter knife into her spleen, so honestly you don’t have any business feeling sorry for yourself. If there’s one lesson that Game of Thrones and Shakespeare has taught me, it is:

(not an artist, don’t judge)

Part 3: Someone Died And The Director Said, “Cool But Like… Make It Fashion.”

Do you remember what I told you to remember? Did you? Cause I’m about to RANT.

Throughout time (like 500 years) men have been painting Ophelia’s drowning – the probable suicide of a tormented young woman – and made sure she looked hot while doing it. True, the description of her death is pretty and all, but depictions of her floating just below the surface, a dramatic and lovely pose and flowers strewn around her glamorise her death – something many other people have taken note on – and give her death something of a peaceful, serene departing note, rather than the death of a woman so deranged she did not appear to understand the gravity of her situation as she sank under water. Daenerys suffers a similar case of SDPS (Sexy Dead Person Syndrome). Let’s go through it step by step, shall we? While in an embrace with someone she loves and trusts, she is stabbed in the heart area (I guess?), and she dies. The End. My respect for white men flew off with Drogon. But I haven’t complained properly yet! Compared to other characters, like Myrcella, Joffrey and Catelyn Stark to name a few, her death was very clean. In these other examples, blood runs down their faces or spurts out of their neck in suitably graphic fashion but Daenerys’ case, two thin lines of blood trickle from her nose and mouth. Pretty, pretty. We get a brief shot of a pool of blood on the snow as Drogon picks her up, but blink and you’ll miss it. She looks shocked and confused as she dies, yet the next shot of her face shows her eyes are closed and an almost peaceful expression on her face. Not only this but we don’t actually get any proper Last Words, when she knows she is about to die. She makes no sound at all. She dies prettily and quietly. We also don’t see the knife at all until she is dead, removing any very graphic nature from the scene. A lot of the camera shots are of Jon’s face. This scene is not about Daenerys Targaryen’s death; This is about Jon Snow’s inner turmoil as he selflessly sacrifices the woman he loves to save the rest of the world. Hold up one second I gotta……

I mean, come on. Daenerys is barely mentioned after her death. She, a woman who freed hundreds, no, thousands of slaves and worked hard to reach her goals (albeit a little dragonfire-y) yet she dies without a whisper and is forgotten almost immediately. She becomes less of a central character and more of a catalyst for other men’s rise to power (see Bran the Broken). Wait, what about Sansa, you cry? Well, at this point, she was so out of character I’m striking her from the narrative. Bye bitch 😊 The same goes for most of the other women in the last season. They become plot devices with a little agency and that’s about it. Missandei? Unnecessarily killed to create the “Mad Queen”. Cersei? A compelling villain reduced to a ‘crying girl who wants to be comforted’. Arya? Kills the Night King and then, I dunno. Sansa? Suspicious of Daenerys because of reasons, betrays her brother/cousin because she doesn’t want Daenerys on the throne, then just ‘forgets’ about this whole thing to become Queen in the North. Brienne? Honourable knight left sobbing after her one (k)night stand left her. Another thing that many of these women have in common (the ones who survived to the final episode anyway) is that none of them have romantic endgames despite this being set up. Arya and Gendry have been close friends in Season 2 and 3, then <3 and everyone (i.e. me) thought that you know, they get together and stuff, because that’s what the writers seemed to be setting up. But nope. Arya’s all like ‘I wanna kill the queen’ (which she never does) and throws all that out the window. (But Gendry was totally on that ship at the end). Brienne and Jaime seemed to finally stop eye fricking and then got straight to the actual fricking but nooooo. “I lOvE CeRseI! WE’re bOTh tERrIble PeOple!” And of course, the crowning glory:

And the woman who actually does come out on top is Sansa, a largely unemotional, suspicious woman whose brother is now the king and made her a queen because she’s his sister. Riiiight. That’s totally not nepotism or anything.

The End: But Boy, Am I Just Beginning

To conclude, the ending of Daenerys Targaryen was largely misogynistic as it painted a brutal and dishonourable murder as an act of mercy and gave the killer (sorry man, I feel like I’m throwing you under the bus here, but it must be said) a sympathetic angle as a heartbroken martyr sacrificing for the greater good. I had high expectations, I really did, but you just took it anD THREW IT IN THE DIRT. Good god. But it’s fine, I have fanfiction anyway.

Thank you for reading this, if you stuck around this far!

ask games, yay! OC game(HPHM of course): 3, 17 and 32

AH THANK YOU FOR ASKING!!!

3. What is the meaning behind their name? Do they have any nicknames?

While I was looking for names for MC I put together a couple of alphabets and wrote a name that sounded suitable enough and I ended up with Shay. I researched a bit about the name after and it’s derived from the Gaelic/Celtic name Séaghdha and apparently it also means admirable/hawk-like which is pretty cool as I picture my MC to be pretty attentive and sharp.

They don’t really have nicknames since their name is a single syllable word but her parents often calls her Lia from her middle name Ophelia and Jacob used to call her Dyna (from dynamite for her explosive personality)

17. Where were they born?

Wiltshire, England

32. What is their self esteem like?

Well she’s pretty confident in her skills and abilities and heck if she’s not comfortable with a spell or an ability she will practice until she is confident enough and she’s pretty loud and outspoken in her opinions. Her looks and fashion choice however is a different topic, being born into an aristocratic family with beautiful cousins who always dressed to the nines and perfect in every aspect; family who would nitpick everything from her hair to her shoes she grew up pretty self conscious, she makes an effort to always look presentable and spends a lot of time working on her penmanship as well when she’s not looking for Jacob. Shay also hates looking stupid so she likes to read a lot on the most random topics you can catch her around the castle with a new book each week or every other week. One day it’s a book about the histroy of Azkaban and another it’s about tax evasion.

Nox; Fall In love With Me

Fall In Love With Me; Nox

[TO BE FIXED, Backing up from Facebook since they got rid of the notes feature and I'm trying to back everything up]

“Hello there. I’m Nox Hethaway and lately my mind has been interested by a certain ‘test’ per say, known as the 36 questions to fall in love. The point of this test is to answer gradually more intimate questions about yourself, allowing for another soul to get to know you in a way they might not under certain circumstances. As the hopeless romantic that I am, I decided to participate in the test today in hopes that my answers might give insight as to who I am as a person, to my partners. After all, we’re bound to eachother’s hearts as the people that we are and to lay yourself vulnerable in front of another perhaps is the greatest gift one can give, no? For those who do decide to read this; Thank you. Now, without further ado, let’s begin this quiet journey. I’m going to have all my responses written in italics to make it easier to tell that it’s me who’s answering.”1. Given the choice of anyone in the world, whom would you want as a dinner guest? “This is a bit of a tough one, truthfully. When I first read the question I felt a little stumped and I still do. Most would perhaps guess my ex, but I have to say.. Perhaps the family that took me in before they tragically died in a fire. I think for one day at least, I would like for them to be here simply so I can show to them how far I’ve come. To me, the Hethaways will always be close to my heart, even if not in a physical sense. My mother’s dreamcatcher will always be hung above my bed though, and her lullabies will always linger in my mind. Haha! Sorry, you’ll find that I do tend to ramble a lot, I’m a fair bit of a thinker and it all tends to spill if you allow me to. But I’d love for my family- My first family to join me for dinner. Just one night to make them.. Proud.”2. Would you like to be famous? In what way? “Truth be told, I wouldn’t say that fame is for me. I’m the watchful girl that sees the world around her for what it is and I think I would like to stay that way. Of course running my manor means that some form of word will get around to individuals, yet I’m okay with that. So long as I get to keep providing a safe space for the non-human folk to stay, even if it’s for a week? I kind of like the idea that everyone who feels lost needs a place to stop once in a while, rest their weary head. I guess you could say I’m running a supernatural Bed and Breakfast but rather, free. My manor is open to anyone who wants or needs to stay; And I hope to keep that tradition for years upon years to come. So if that’s a way to get famous in a quiet sort of way, so be it.”3. Before making a telephone call, do you ever rehearse what you are going to say? Why? “Before a telephone call? Well it depends. If it’s an important call that requires formality then yes, I might rehearse what I’m going to say so I don’t make too much of a fool of myself. Some things simply need a formal way of attending to things. However if it’s a call to a friend or someone whom I care for deeply, then I’m less likely to rehearse, yes. When you care for others, you often find that you don’t need to rehearse words as they simply flow from your heart. And we know certain people say you should always listen to your heart, for your body will follow. Heh.”4. What would constitute a “perfect” day for you? “Ah, this is an interesting question though, don’t you think? Everyone has their definition of a perfect day.. I think for me, the fact that I get to be surrounded by my friends always makes for a perfect day. Yet if you want a more specific answer that’s a little more physical, a perfect day starts with hot chocolate for me, an open window in the summer to let fresh morning air in. The warmth of sunshine on my skin as I stretch myself, perhaps follow the Sun Salutation. Breakfast followed by working in my office for a little while; then I like to spend some time outside. Whether in the gardens or perhaps the forest, even a pleasant drive to the town the manor is located somewhat near to, makes for a perfect time to spend free time. Something new to find, something old to appreciate. A smile from someone

who needed their day brightened. A kind gesture to a stranger. A photograph of a beautiful sunset.. Or perhaps some time in front of a fireplace. There are many ways I could describe a perfect day to me, yet to have a little company I find always brightens my day, so long as it’s the right kind of company.” 5. When did you last sing to yourself? To someone else? “We all know I have the guilty pleasure of singing and humming oftentimes, especially with my guitar at hand. The last time was certainly earlier yesterday, I’m kind of a bit of a fan of Ophelia by Lumineers. I’ve also hummed my favourite lullaby while with Snowdrop earlier so I suppose that counts too? Even right now while I might not be singing, I have Wildfire by Seafret playing. It’s suitable; The video that they made for the song is actually based on these questions, too. Just a fun little tidbit.”6. If you were able to live to the age of 90 and retain either the mind or body of a 30-year-old for the last 60 years of your life, which would you want? “Considering I am an immortal being, living up to such an age is more than easy so long as unfortunate events and cold doesn’t catch me offguard. However for the sake of the question, I’ll look at it from a human’s perspective. This question is an interesting one yet again to my immortality, however it has an interesting principle behind it as it is. If I retained my body, I’d be still ageing in mind; Which I suppose is the nearest to my current situations. A young body but constantly learning, constantly exploring the world around me, growing. They say that with age comes wisdom and I suppose one can explain it in such a way? However the idea of having a thirty year old mindset while the body grows old.. Does that mean the mind doesn’t mature? Or does it stay on a specific view of the world? I do not know how it is to be a thirty year old nor how a mind of one works so I can’t really work from experience here.. However in my personal opinion, I think the idea of one’s body not ageing and the mind growing in experience simply seems like the most befitting to me.”7. Do you have a secret hunch about how you will die? “Well, didn’t this turn a corner quickly? While once more I am an immortal being and cannot die from old age, there are possibilities of me passing away from other disasters. I suppose if I was to die, the most likely would be one of my fatal fevers, especially if I come in contact with anything below zero (0) degrees celsius. [Roughly 32 degrees Fahrenheit. Freezing point.] It’s either that, or perhaps I’ve annoyed someone enough to end up in an unfavourable position. Using certain powers without having a source of sexual energy can also end up fairly lethal to me if I keep pushing myself over the limit.. Whatever it might be, I’d like to think I’m going to have a long and fruitful life though,- And if I was to pass on, that it would be honourably done so; Protecting those I care about. My friends, my family, my significant others.”8. Name three things you and your partner appear to have in common. “This one is tricky, especially since this isn’t aimed at a partner specifically. So we’ll change this question for the time being; I’ll name the things I’d like to have common with my partner. Firstly, compassion. Compassion for those around seems to be something I care about greatly and I’d like to be able to share this with a partner; A warm understanding and want to help, care. Secondly, self awareness perhaps? The awareness that our actions affect us, the others- Awareness of who we are, where we belong in the world. Self awareness of what we can and can’t do. There is so much when one tries to pinpoint the words ‘Self-awareness’ and I like that; it means that the viewer can pick what it means to them. Thirdly, I’d like someone on the same wavelength as me. Someone who understands me on a deeper level. Perhaps that’s not so much a ‘trait’ of similarity as just that; having a similar.. Mindset? Maybe that’s a good way of putting it. I want someone who can walk equally with me down a road; As equals

with alike thoughts that can be shared and understood without a worry of a misunderstanding due to different mindsets and views of the world. It’s always saddening to an extend when another simply can’t see what you’re trying to show them. I certainly feel like I could ramble about this further, however I’ll spare you that for now.”9. For what in your life do you feel most grateful? “What I feel most grateful for? I think the fact I was given a second chance to be who I’m today. Or perhaps chances altogether. From when my first family took me in, to my ex reminding me something I should have not forgotten so easily; I feel like the world likes to give chances to those who are willing to make a difference, whether it’s for themselves or for others. I’m grateful I got a chance because it allowed me to be where I am here today, being able to freely talk about my experiences and spill my heart to you. Isn’t that the greatest gift?”10. If you could change anything about the way you were raised, what would it be? “It might feel a little typical to say this, and perhaps some would think I was lying, however I don’t think I would want to change anything about the way I was raised. The past is the past because it allows us to grow, teaches us the lessons we need in order to change our future. Yes, my life wasn’t always bright and dandy but I took those lessons and made something positive out of them. I think that’s what matters really, taking things and trying to make best do with what we have. If I had changed anything, even theoretically.. I don’t know how that would have changed my life. Even the smallest thing can have such an impact on our lives. I do hope that makes sense?”11. Take four minutes and tell your partner your life story in as much detail as possible. “Ah, I didn’t expect this question. Four minutes, huh? Well.. Alright. I was born from the eternal fires of my realm, a rather rare phenomenon that only happens every tens of years. I was abandoned by my kind in the human world after they realised I wasn’t like them, a succubus.- They decided to leave me in a downpour storm that would’ve killed a young baby like me if not for the fact I was taken in by an Elementalist family. Lived with them for five years, however they died in a rather horrible fire- Caused by my own kind. I spent a fair amount of time in care homes, not being able to settle until I was fourteen and ended up being fostered officially by Lucifer Morgen- I befriended his daughter two years prior and we had been inseparable. Add a few whimsical adventures of being thrown into realms without meaning to when I was sixteen and seventeen,- Then at eighteen I met Lucas. He was a huge turning point for me, a demise under an oak tree. Later I started developing my study of photography, earned my living while studying in university.. Owned a studio loft apartment for a while. After graduating from University, my foster father contacted me while asking if I wanted to take over the Morgen Manor. I accepted.. And here we are. All through my collage time I made friends with Charlie and Kassidy, whom I invited to live with me after realising the manor just didn’t feel right without them.. Then soon enough Harper joined and.. That’s my life and my closest friends, all under the roof of my manor. Oh, I also stopped ageing at twenty-one, but that’s a minor detail really. Now you know the fairly short version of my life.”12. If you could wake up tomorrow having gained any one quality or ability, what would it be? “As a serious or non-serious answer? As a non-serious answer, I always wanted wings. However not all Succubi have them, the only certain thing is having a tail with my kind. As a serious answer however, I suppose the ability to use my powers without having to gain sexual energy from a partner just so I could. While these days I’m a lot more comfortable with the idea of it, I still don’t want my partner to feel like I’m using them for their energy just so I can do things I usually hold myself from doing. Of course I don’t feel the need to have to use my

powers, although my younger self often worried about ‘What if I can’t protect the ones I love because I can’t depend on my powers?’ Otherwise, I’m actually really content with what I have.” 13. If a crystal ball could tell you the truth about yourself, your life, the future or anything else, what would you want to know? “Huh.. Anything I’d want to know? I guess I do like the idea of knowing just how many people I was able to help, even with a simple smile and a kind word. Yet at the same time there is a satisfaction of not knowing such information too. The real question is; would I want to find anything out or would I walk past a crystal ball? A part of me likes to believe things happen for a reason so if I came across a crystal ball, surely it had to be for one reason or another and it would be a shame to lose such an opportunity. Yet a part of me feels like I don’t have anything I need to ask; I’m living in the now and not the past or future. I should focus instead on doing a positive impact on my surroundings, focus on keeping improving myself. If.. There was something I truly wanted to ask though, perhaps about myself.. It would be ‘Am I doing enough?’ I think that speaks it all.”14. Is there something that you’ve dreamed of doing for a long time? Why haven’t you done it? “I’ve always dreamt of making a positive difference in the world. my past wasn’t the kindest and I’ve seen a lot of wrong left and right. However I’d like to say that I’ve been doing exactly what I’ve dreamt of doing all along, even if it took me a little time to figure out how to get there. If you had asked me this three years ago, I would’ve probably told you that the one thing I dreamt of doing, was being able to belong. I feel like I belong now though. I’ve found my place; A place where I can give others a place to belong, too. If that’s not an achievement of dreams, I don’t know what is. Perhaps as time goes by I’ll find a new dream to dream about. For now however, I’m happy growing what I have now.”15. What is the greatest accomplishment of your life? “Coming as far as I have, now. I feel like I have two; The obvious one being the manor that I own. Being able to provide a safe place to others, to make connections that might last lifetimes even if people come and go.. That to me is a huge accomplishment. That safety of being table to provide for others what I couldn’t quite have myself at first. The less obvious accomplishment is becoming who I am, now. it was a long journey to grow into the person you may find me now, especially over the last five years. But time and time again proved that if you’re really determined to do something, you will be able to; you just have to keep trying and not give up. I feel like allowing myself to be the kind hearted demon I am now; Or at least I hope to be in other’s eyes.. That’s something to be proud of. In the future and as I get older, I’ll gain more achievements. But I think no matter how old I get, I’ll always be the happiest knowing that I did my best; that I stopped hiding behind a wall of uncertainty and fear. Who I was five years ago isn’t who I am now.. Although that is a part of my journey. I learned, I grew and I now stand before you, hoping that who you see in your eyes is too, something to be proud of.. Perhaps inspiring too.16. What do you value most in a friendship? “This one’s fairly easy, yet it comes in more than one part. Honesty, forgiveness, care, compassion, understanding and communication. I feel like these go for any sort of relation however and are the fundamental bricks to any healthy bond we may hold. These traits will allow for beautiful flowers to bloom from the seeds sown in the beginning of an relationship whether platonic, familiar or romantic.. So long as one keeps such things in mind, I’m sure bonds will shine even in the darkest nights, just like little twinkling stars.”17. What is your most treasured memory? “I have many memories that mean a lot to me. My most treasured memory is a simple one though; Singing my favourite lullaby with my first mother. I.. Was quite the

crybaby you see, constantly getting emotional over everything. However whenever I had my hiccups, my mother used to take me in her hands- Or sometimes rock the cot gently to soothe me while singing the song which was made up of two nursery rhymes. Old British nursery rhymes you can still find called ‘Dandling’ rhymes. Even to this day I sing it, it helps me calm myself and reminds me I’m loved. Sometimes you can catch me humming it to others.. Whether I’m in a good mood or just want to comfort them.”18. What is your most terrible memory? “Most would expect the death of my family which had been a horrific event.. I was young however and didn’t have quite such an understanding of situations which perhaps saved me from suffering their loss so deeply; Although it was still a painful loss that weakens my heart. I’d have to say that the worst memory was losing my first love though, my ex. You could say it was a self sacrifice.. I was eighteen and fell in love with a beautiful gold-winged angel. However he had a curse on him; He wronged and had to make up for his ill actions to get the curse to break. How may you ask the curse was to be broken? I suppose he didn’t know until the moment it did in fact break.. We were under the oak tree of a park we often ventured into, deep into the park where not many would walk through. We got caught up in a moment I suppose, the love between us was clear even back then. I.. Revealed myself for who I was and he accepted me. I remember being so terrified because I had to hide who I was from the whole world. He made me realise that those who really care about you though, won’t judge *what* you are.. But rather *who*. It was a teary moment and we kissed. .. And broke the veto between his kind and mine. I was young and didn’t know those things existed.. As for him.. I- Don’t know if he ever did too. His curse broke; An act of true love. But in turn I also became his demise.. Moments later all that was left of him had been feathers; Golden feathers surrounded me with warmth and love like no other. It was bittersweet, I couldn’t save him, my atlantis. His death.. His goodbye.. He was in my life for a short time but it was powerful enough to change me. I wanted to become better for him; He taught me that those who cared wouldn’t make judgements on anything but who you were as a person, what was in your heart. And that hiding behind those walls I had put up over my childhood was only stopping people from seeing my true self. He told me he loved my smile; Something I barely did back then. I feel like in ways it would be hard to recognise me from back then. I think I still have a class photo somewhere..”19. If you knew that in one year you would die suddenly, would you change anything about the way you are now living? Why? “There’s a certain person I’ve yet to tell I love them. When the time comes I will, however if I knew I’d die in one year.. I think I’d stop waiting for the right moment. I guess it’s a bit of hypocritical; If I know I’m doing this, then I should improve on it. I.. Think I would focus on finding someone to take over the Manor though, someone who could lead it like I want to. Perhaps I’d try stop being so worried about losing everything I have. I’m not sure, truthfully. Perhaps I’ve been so focused on other things that I’m blind to the things I’m lacking. Would I change anything? Maybe. Yet at the same time, I feel like the way I’m living now isn’t too bad. Perhaps I’d spend more time with those who mattered to me. Yes. Maybe I should focus on doing exactly that..”20. What does friendship mean to you? “Well, I’m sure subtle clues have hinted to the fact that friendship does indeed mean a lot to me. The bonds I’ve made with the girls who live with me.. They’re like sisters to me. Friendship is such a valuable and meaningful thing that people have the opportunity to forge, why miss out on it? People require a certain level of interaction and everything begins from friendship. We are pack animals after all and I don’t think we can change that, no matter how much we’d like to deny those

facts. Friendship is a beautiful gift that means you get to share your happiness and burdens together, you allow each-other to balance one another and to cause smiles, laughter. Friendship is beautiful in its own way, something that should be more than okay to seek for in a lifetime.”21. What roles do love and affection play in your life? “I am a hopeless romantic, so I’m sure that explains plenty as it is. I feel like to openly show love and affection to those around you is important though, especially since it;s a way of letting them know you care; whether vocally or physically. We all crave some form of sweetness and I can’t say I don’t myself. I’m a pretty loving individual and I want to show it to those who come into my life.. Especially a significant other. I would also like to say that I do an okay job at that too, although there is always an opportunity to improve. Both have been important in the development of becoming who I am, and in turn I want to share the same love and affection in hopes it helps others too.”22. Alternate sharing something you consider a positive characteristic of your partner. Share a total of five items. “Yet again, this one is a bit tricky as this isn’t aimed at a partner per say. but rather whoever has the pleasant opportunity of coming across this. Perhaps I’ll mention things I usually see as a positive characteristic of another? I have to say that a person’s eyes are always enchanting to me. They are the windows to one’s soul and can tell so much about a person. Their lips; A give away to emotions with the opportunity for such a beautiful smile. Their heart; how they interact with another person and how empathic they can be of another being, the care they’re willing to give. Gestures; physical body language that shows kind deeds and kindness to another being and finally perhaps.. Someone’s words; They hold the power of changing someone’s day and life so when someone knows how to use them correctly, I simply can’t help but smile.”23. How close and warm is your family? Do you feel your childhood was happier than most other people’s? “This comes in a few levels once more.. My first family was incredibly warm and kind, I had many siblings that treated me like I was one of them and not just someone they took in for the sake of it. They were the foundation of morality that I was able to gain the older I got, they were the first ones to show me just how kind people could really be, so long as they wished for it and worked at it. Most of my childhood hardened me for a while though, gave me a tough exterior that could be called cold and snappy. A lot of it wasn’t happy, no. I felt like I would never belong anywhere, I felt like no one would want me, that no matter where I went it would be the same story. In the time I was in care I went from care home to care home; It was the last one I stayed in the longest before my current family took me in. From then on I grew alright but.. Some things were hard to change and I still felt like I didn’t belong which caused a lot of weight. Valentine and Father did their best to make sure I felt like I was a part of them but it was tough, I was the illegitimate princess. I’d like to say we’re really close though and I do visit once in a while, even if I have my own place to take care of now. Valentine has always been a kind sister, even if she doesn’t come off as so to most. Father too is incredibly kind.. People often misunderstand him due to his own past mistakes. But he’s another proof that people can change if they want to. Altogether I feel happy and I feel like I’ve finally made bonds over the years I’ve lived. Sure, it wasn’t always easy but was it worth it? Yes.”24. How do you feel about your relationship with your mother? “I can only refer to my first mother, truthfully. As I wasn’t born by normal means of most demons, I don’t have a genetic mother really.. Just a fire that has burned since before the beginning of the realm I was born in. I’d like to say I had a great relationship with my first mother though, she took me and treated me as one

of her own despite the fact I was a demon and not related to her by blood. She was kind, caring and had such a large heart.. Even if my memory is weak, I still remember the kind deeds she did. They’re the reason I took the surname and carried it with me all my life- And hope to carry it with me for the rest of my life. To me, the definition of my surname is the family I had the privilege of being a part of.”25. Make three true “we” statements each. For instance, “We are both in this room feeling …” “Ah.. I’m not really sure how to answer this one really. I suppose I can start with.. We are both looking at these questions. Because we are. As this is being written, I’m gazing upon the questions I’m writing. Meanwhile as you’re reading, you’re too, looking at these questions. Now comes for more.. Speculating ones. We are both open to one another. I’m open to you as the writer, sharing my thoughts with you, and you’re open to me, allowing yourself to go through the information and giving me a chance to show you what I am about as a person. For that, thank you. Thirdly.. I’d like to say that we’re both connected to one another in some form by now. I’ve made it to answering the twenty-fifth question of this long test of a sort, while you’ve made it to reading this very question, too. You’ve read the ramblings I’ve willingly shared with you in hopes that you’ll understand me a little more.. And I can only hope that you feel some form of a tender connection to me as I feel to you, the one reading this. I know this is only one sided in terms of questions being answered, yet I hope what you’ve read made you think, too. In any case, I’d like to say we’ve both had an effect on one another, no?”26. Complete this sentence: “I wish I had someone with whom I could share …” “I wish I had someone with whom I could share the beauty that is humanity. I know this one might seem a little confusing to most, however when I sit atop rooftops at night and watch little windows light up, people walking by.. Traffic. I find the world to be so beautiful, full of mystery, magic and life. Little universes in every window spinning and creating something bigger. That’s the kind of magic I want to share with another, even if just for a little while.”27. If you were going to become a close friend with your partner, please share what would be important for him or her to know. “I’m not perfect, I’m far from it. And I know that the idea of being near a succubi is scary. However I’d like you to know that I’m trying to be what I hope is a good person. Sometimes I’ll mistakes, sometimes I’ll mess up and sometimes I won’t be perfect. But isn’t that simply what humanity is so perfectly imperfect for? The definition of being human, to make mistakes and learn from them. So long as you’re willing to be patient with me, I’ll do my best to show you that the spark I carry within myself is worth staying by my side.”28. Tell your partner what you like about them; be very honest this time, saying things that you might not say to someone you’ve just met. “Ah, quite a few partner questions. Well.. I like the fact you made it this far and were willing to read all I’ve written just to get to know me more. I like the fact that you’ve decided to hold on and that you had the determination and interest to get this far. But I also like the fact you’re alive. That might not seem like a big deal to many in retrospect, but to me the fact that you’re alive is a beautiful thing that should be treasured. I like the fact you can listen. I like the fact that you have so many possibilities. I like the fact that you are humane. I like the fact that you can learn from mistakes, too. I love the fact you are capable of so much. I know all these might seem a little strange because they might seem like vague answers but.. I like the fact that whoever you might be reading this, you’re here reading each odd compliment I’ve offered you. And I hope you smiled too, because I’m sure it’s a beautiful one.29. Share with your partner an embarrassing moment in your life. “I have a fair amount

of embarrassing moments that mostly were caused by my tail. See before I had a better control of it, it would appear a lot whenever my emotions got out of hand. Which you can imagine was often enough when I was a young and slightly hormonal teenager, not to mention a rebellious child. One time I had to hide in the kitchen cupboard of one of the carehomes I lived in because someone was coming and I frustrated myself enough over a spilled drink that my tail popped up and I tripped over it. The worst part is that while yes, I managed to make my tail disappear, I ended up getting my leg stuck in the plumbing. It was.. Embarrassing to say the least. I got it out safely as you can see, they had to unscrew a few pipes but.. I certainly learned not to climb in cupboards under sinks after that.”30. When did you last cry in front of another person? By yourself? “When I cried last? It must’ve been a week ago or so, things were a bit shaky and I was fairly worried about the on-goings in my current life. I’m never really alone, I have my mun who worries about me, but in a physical sense yes, I was by myself in my office. Sometimes it happens and it can’t be helped, I still cry easily enough although I might come off as a proper and formal female at first. It shows that people have many sides to them.”31. Tell your partner something that you like about them already “I feel like you have a good deal of patience to read all of this, and I feel that's a wonderful thing. I know not many would be willing to give their time to read the musings of another. I truly feel touched.”32. What, if anything, is too serious to be joked about? “I feel like anything that might touch another individual in a negative way. There’s a lot of things in the world that shouldn’t be turned into a joke, especially since you don’t know another person’s past or who’s listening to you talk. As they say; you should treat others how you wish to be treated, even if you don’t think anyone is paying attention to you. You never know who’s ears are tuned into you.”33. If you were to die this evening with no opportunity to communicate with anyone, what would you most regret not having told someone? Why haven’t you told them yet? “Ah.. I.. I think I would regret a few things, honestly. I feel like I’d regret not telling Snowdrop that I do in fact love him, even if it doesn’t feel like the right time to say it yet. Even if someone knows, it’s still important to voice it out, huh? And Killian of course.. I never tell him enough about how proud of him I am. Or how much I really do care about him, even when things are quiet and busy. Or how much I adore my friends, my girls.. And how without them, I don’t think I would’ve been able to make the manor what it is. Being able to tell my mun how much I treasure her and my connection, how glad I am to have found her when I did. Sometimes we regret exactly that.. Not telling those who matter to us the most, that we love them, care about them and want to see them on a daily basis. Perhaps.. Really, maybe I should take this as advice.”34. Your house, containing everything you own, catches fire. After saving your loved ones and pets, you have time to safely make a final dash to save any one item. What would it be? Why? “Oh, this breaks my heart.. There are a few possessions that I have which it would truly hurt to lose, from the dreamcatcher my first mother gave me, to the feather I still hold onto from my ex.. Even the photo I took of a rose in a field of dandelions that holds my famous quote and a special meaning to those who are lucky to hear it from me. .. This really is a hard one, the idea of losing any of these three is.. Painful enough to make me a little teary eyed. All are unique and I know I won’t get my hands on any of them again if they were to perish in a fire. If I had the possibility to save all three, I would. But if not.. I think I would save the dreamcatcher. It’s all I have left of my first family after all and it holds its own little magic to me. I know I’ll always hold dear to the lessons my ex taught me,

and I know that I’ll forever have that quote in my mind. But the dreamcatcher is something I can’t give up.”35. Of all the people in your family, whose death would you find most disturbing? Why? “Truthfully, Valentine. She’s been a dear sister to me and the idea of her not existing pains my heart. She works so hard with our father day by day so one day she can take over what he’s doing.. She’s a great and just person and.. Knowing that the girl who allowed me a new home was gone? That would destroy me in a way. .. Then again I would feel equally pained if I lost any of the three girls I live in. In a way, they are my family too, even if we’re not related by blood. I might not be related by blood, however relations forged by love are the ones that last longer than time itself.”36. Share a personal problem and ask your partner’s advice on how he or she might handle it. Also, ask your partner to reflect back to you how you seem to be feeling about the problem you have chosen. “I’ve been struggling for the longest of time with the worry of feeling that I’m not good enough. That what I’m doing, how I’m living, the relations I hold with others.. That it’s simply not good enough no matter how I try; And in turn I fear that it will be what will cause me to end up alone. I’m not sure how to handle such fears, nor how to turn those thoughts around. I’m used to working by myself hard day by day, that as long as I keep going and handling things by myself, it’ll all be okay. Perhaps to the point where I coop myself up away from others, it seems.. Do you have any advice for me, on what I can do? .. I think it’s the strongest personal problem I have which I’m.. Scared to admit, however if we don’t face those fears, how are we supposed to grow? How do my feelings come across from this answer? I guess I appear to be scared but.. I’d like to know how you see my feelings in this situation.”“Thank you for reading to the end of this. If you want to leave words at the bottom of this, I’d be more than happy to read them. Whether comments about certain questions, or simply interacting with me.. Perhaps questions of your own. It’s all welcome.. And if not, thank you for taking the time out of your schedule to learn something about me and perhaps, even if just a little, fall in love with me.”

Shakespear

Frequently Encountered Words (FEW)

Several of the content-carrying words in Shakespeare are used so often that we find it helpful to approach them in the manner of a language-teaching phrase-book, singling them out so that readers can more easily develop an intuition about how they are used. We have selected 100 of these words, in particular senses, in the list below, and chosen quotations for them which illustrate several grammatical contexts. We like to think of these words as a preliminary word-list which captures some of the character of basic Early Modern English vocabulary. Readers who familiarize themselves with these items will be many times repaid by a smoother reading of the texts.

It is important to note that a number of these words are also used in other, less frequent, senses in Shakespearean English. We make a reference to any such senses after each entry below. These senses will all be found in their alphabetical place in the Glossary.
