AU Reds Poster: Alicent joins Rhaenrya as her advisor and wife after escaping her father's influence.

She escapes Kings Landing with Helaena and her grandchildren just in time. Unfortunately, her father has already sunk his teeth into her two sons who are ready to fight for their right to the iron throne. How will Alicent choose between her family and her beloved Rhaenyra when the time comes?

#alicent hightower #rhaenyra targaryen #alicent x rhaenyra #rhaenicent #rhaenyra x alicent #house of the dragon #hotd season 2 #im sorry the posters just looked so good next to each other and alicent looks like she's gazing at rhaenyra with worry #basically alicent had an epiphany after viserys died (him screaming about the chosen one crap didn't happen)#but her father already had the ball and floor moving for the crown and to overthrow rhaenyra #and alicent had a dream or prophecy that told her that the greens would destroy the entire kingdom and her family including their lineage #she tried to convince aegon to leave with her too but he was already drunk on power and not listening to her anymore #so she goes to find rhaenyra to play peacemaker and diplomat and reluctantly joins team red #but then aemond kills luke and things go to shit #helaena is then betrothed to jace to protect both her and her grandchildren #and she basically serves as rhaenyra's conscious and calm to her storm through the war #in the end daemon gets exiled after killing aemond and betraying rhaenyra's orders #otto is killed for treason and aegon forfeits the crown for his life #jace and helaena rule after rhaenyra one day passes and wives live happy together #it makes sense because I say it makes sense

Hello Hermitblr.

I have come bearing a gift. A 2 minute long, seven year old video in 240p of mumbo, zed, tango, and impulse attempting to play pingpong.

youtube

#The word attempting is important here because I think this might be the worst ever game of pingpong ever played #how do four grown men all have this bad of hand eye coordination #mumbo misses by a foot like three times #a pongping ball is hit at him and instead kf taking one step out of the way or catching it he jumps and falls over #impulse and tango both consecutively fail to get the ball over the net #zedaph is also there #hermitcraft #mindcrack #hermitblr #tangotek #mumbo jumbo #impulsesv #Zedaph #team zit #Youtube #Sco good posts

it would be really funny if ted's internal monologue actually has a lot of swearing he just almost never says any of it out loud bc like, he's a polite midwestern dad

#ted internally seeing rupert: oh not this fucking bastard again. jesus fucking christ i wish he'd fuck off. piece of shit.#ted externally: hey there rupert :)#ted lasso #i dont think this is canon btw i just think it would be very funny #ted when high as balls for real this time: HEY WHATS UP FUCKERS!!!!!!!!!!#the entire team: [WIDE EYED BONK EMOJI]#trent after a press conference in like s1: okay off the record i have to know. you say 'golly gosh' and 'gee willickers' just to fuck w/ us #right? those aren't real? like i understand you don't swear that tracks but you're fucking with us on the 'golly gosh' right?#ted looking both ways and leaning in: off the record? trent i swear all the fucking time in my head. and shit trent!#i've never said 'gee willickers' unironically in my whole goddamn life. but god isn't it funny to watch them buy it #and trents like (wide eyed with awe) why are you telling me this #and teds like (most cheerful smile) because no one will ever fuckin believe you :)#trent (somehow more attracted to ted than he's ever been): .....ᵒʰ

One of Hello Future Me's videos on revolution brought up an event from the Philippines back in the 80s: the dictator sent a battalion to crush a supposed revolt, only for the soldiers to be met with nuns and children offering food and water. The majority of the army defected as a result

I'm going to use rwby to try hammering this abstract concept into a coherent thought, but this incident got me thinking about how nonviolent protest is theater

If a similar event were to occur in rwby, for it to be successful, the protestors would have to be the cutesy faunus types: rabbits, cats, dogs, and the like because they're non-threatening. Attacking a sweet cat faunus would be akin to attacking a child or nun, paragons of innocence and virtue respectively. Only a monster could cut them down, and no one wants to be seen as a monster

A scorpion faunus, though? Their mere existence is a threat. That tail is dangerous, a weapon available at all times. Bull faunus have horns they can use to gouge out eyes and organs. Claim they attacked and most people would agree that killing them in self-defense is justified

Because nonviolent resistance relies on public perception, people who could possibly taint the image of the movement will get left in the dark no matter how important they are. Bayard Rustin was the one who taught Dr King about civil disobedience and was an organizer for many major events, but he opted to ride to events in the trunk of people's cars so his status as an openly gay man wouldn't harm the movement's image

There would be little wonder why the White Fang would be more popular with the "scarier" faunus. Public perception is already against them, so it's not going to change much for them if they join a violent organization, but this in turn will be seen as justification for discrimination against these types of faunus. A hellish self-perpetuating cycle

These faunus would also be far more likely to experience violence at a much younger age, akin to how black children are treated as adults even if they're literally six years old

The strategy behind nonviolent protest like the ones Dr King did is to show the world the mistreatment of the innocent, but when your existence is deemed a threat, there's little hope that you'll ever get enough support to change the system. This is why bigots constantly spew the "queer groomer" and black crime "statistics": by portraying someone's freedom as a danger to the innocent, any level of violence is justifiable defense. The police aren't attacking queers, black, and brown folk discriminately, they're attacking dangerous criminals, so it's okay!!1!

Theater can't save those already condemned and to try is wasted effort

#rwde #antiblackness tw #<- in the link #Claudette Colvin refused to give up her seat a whole 9 months before Rosa Parks yet wasnt the face of the movement #good choice considering she was only 15 and shoving a teen into the racist public eye is Not Good but her pregnancy was also a major factor #idk hopefully i got the point across #somewhat related is the trend of the privileged being the biggest advocates for peaceful protest #while the ones who've endured violence - both economically and physically - are the ones who call upon violence #which almost always means violent *self defense*#the few occasions ive read where there were actual attacks its been targeted like the BLA ambushing cops #cant say i blame them considering the mcfucking everything the cops had going on #the bpp was basically destroyed by the police and fbi at this point and that was probs a major factor in their decision #and targeted violence was exactly what the white fang was doing before cinder showed up and ruined everything #literally nothing the wf does in the show is actually for faunus liberation bc its all cinder/salems orders!!#and no one is allowed to have a brain or personality or anything so no one questions why theyre suddenly switching targets #gr8 discussion abt activism here shawluna. love that you reduced the anti racism movement to mercenaries to avoid saying anything at all #ffs they even fucked up weiss's side of the convo! obvs the fumbling of blakes ball is much worse but come the fuck on #'the wf may have assassinated company board members and family friends but were teammates now so who cares!! team rwby go!!'#fucking barf

being super normal about White calling Billy "a dreamer"after the events of Maybe No Go

#truly alarming amount of tags on this post don't click read more fr #the venture bros #pete white #bily quizboy #billy whalen #idk man the way they balance each other is really interesting #the things they agree on and disagree on are almost arbitrary #'you can't put mouthwash in a cookie' 'trust me' vs 'we should spend 10 mil on a motorcycle instead of housing' 'that's such a cool idea'#billy trying to pep white up about the ball #'this was your dream too' like come on dude when have pete's dreams ever worked out #when have yours #'what are we gonna do now billy?' 'we'll cross that bridge when we come to it'#baby the bridge has never been more present #ALSO white calling billy the dreamer when HE'S the one who pushes so hard for things #billy has dreams that might not be realistic but they give him hope and he works around the way the world works to make things happen #like being a self-taught surgeon and believing in a magic ball #pete has dreams IN SPITE of what is realistic and he will mold reality to be what he wants in order to make it happen #like fixing the quizshow and pretty much everything that happened in invisible hand of fate #and they both have disabilities that affect them in vastly different ways and impact their relationship with realistic goals #like billy's hydrocephalus being presented to the audience as mostly a social issue for him and the hand and eye being marks of trauma #rather than like an actual block for him beyond needing to tune the hand up every now and then #vs white's albinism making him physically unable to be in direct sunlight and making him actively fearful of doing certain things and #being certain places #to be clear i know the actual effects of hydrocephalus as well as the hand and eye but this is based on how the show presents it #like billy took these things about himself into account and went ok these are part of my reality and i will work with them #and pete took his reality and went ok i will cover it up with fake tan and wigs or sunscreen and hats and make reality what i want it to be #and that's what makes them a good team!! that's why they science together well #it's also why they argue so much #accepting reality and playing within its constraints vs hating reality and changing it to suit you #these are the hallmarks of scientific progress

Cellbit burned down Green’s base? They might’ve said something and I missed it but that didn’t translate through Slime’s stream AT ALL.

#qsmp #that’s kinda ehh but go off I guess #making enemies like that doesn’t seem like I good idea #because both green and blue already don’t like red #but fuck it we ball #team bolas!!!!

what i know about the vel and cinta and cassian relationship is. they call him clemencito for the rest of his goddamn life. once a year on his birthday vel buys him some random and mostly useless kitchen gadget from space!williams and sonoma or three months of one of those fruit of the month clubs (she is actually extremely terrible at social interaction) and cinta gets him a box of condoms that she sharpies 4 KLEM onto.

#on serious levels i haven't seen much discussion/analysis on the extent to which vel and cinta are BOTH internal parallels/foils to cassian #on jokier levels i believe deeply that vel and cassian woudl have made the most insane set of soccer (lemmi??) parents #space t-ball coaches. if they're coaching the same or different teams depends on what is funnier #vel sartha #cinta kaz #cassian andor

Thank you for everything girls, thank you for let us dream at least a little

I'm sorry that y'all come from a country that proclaims themselves the ''country of football'' then self sabotage the women's teams

#brazil wnt #brazil nt #wwc 2023 #I'm SO SORRY that y'all come from a country that self-sabotage the women's teams then will point fingers and say:#''see?? this is why we don't invest in them''#but will throw money at every single flopped boy ''com alegria nas pernas'' who kicks a ball #I'm sorry that you don't get the same investment support or visibility #I'm not saying that there aren't male players who love the sport but if you are a woman and want to be a player on this country...#you doing it because YOU TRULY LOVE the sport with all your heart #you know you won't have the same support - from both CBF nor the fans #in fact you'll have to deal with your people ROOTING AGAINST YOU just BECAUSE you are a woman who dared play football #its ridiculous #I'll ALWAYS support Brazil regardless #be it the men's or the women's I will be there I'll never give up on them #rena ramblings #rant in tags #don't worry girls you'll never be as embarrassing as the men - they took fucking 7 goals playing at HOME while claiming themselves the bes

It’s so interesting to me how Toto Wolff has caused the change of his perception in like 2 months

Obviously with how he was out at the club crowd surfing after AD21 there was a shift in how he was perceived by some fans, but it wasn’t as widespread as it is now

Since February 1st, he has not stopped talking and everything he says is somehow worse than the last thing he said. He is the boyfriend that you thought was so great when you were with him, but you see all the red flags once you’ve broken up with him and he doesn’t know how to handle rejection

If Lewis Hamilton is leaving your team, then it makes sense that you try to get Max Verstappen or even Fernando Alonso. Especially when your team has always had a world champion driving for them. But saying that you have the same humor as J*s Verstappen or that you would welcome Marko after everything they have said about not only your soon to be former driver but also your team is not great and does not align with the image that the team has created

#f1 #also Merc’s been dropping the ball with the social media campaign they could have with Lewis leaving the team #there’s so many ‘doing blank with lh for the last time’ posts they could’ve made by now #after Australia they could’ve made a very funny post about Lewis’ first aus gp with Merc and now his last aus gp with them #he retired in both of them - early in the race with engine issues #there’s so much potential and it would distract people from at least some of the comments made by Toto
