givemelibertypleasw is focusing too much on show fanon, not what’s actually in the books.
Both Criston and Otto made wild accusations about her killing her siblings but Rhaenyra was ready to forgive them because she saw them as victims of Hightower ambition. She only turned on them AFTER Luke’s murder, not before.
People forget how damaging the tarnish of kinslaying is in Westerosi culture. Rhaenyra would never start her Queenship with this because it would make people turn against her.
Daemon’s shown to be a wild card in the show because the dumbass writers think passive women = feminism. In the books he’s Rhaenyra’s attack dog, he doesn’t kill without her direct order e.g. Vaemond Velaryon. So no, he wouldn’t kill her siblings because like I said kinslaying is political suicide and Rhaenyra made no indication she blames her siblings for her crown being usurped.
imo I think she would still be against kinslaying despite Luke’s death if Aemond had been punished, instead Aegon II threw him a feast. How else would a grieving mother react?
She wouldn’t kill them but she’s also smart enough to know keeping them around will have long term repercussions, especially for Jace. What I can see her do is have Daeron and Aemond sent to the Wall or to the Citadel to become Septons/Maesters that way they automatically lose their claim. She’d do the same to Jaehaerys and Maelor when they come of age. As for Aegon he would be put under house arrest, similar to what Baelor I had done to his three sisters. Helaena isn’t a threat by herself and Jaehaera could be easily married off to Joffrey.
Point is Rhaenyra had options when it came to her siblings that didn’t involve kinslaying. Options she would’ve gone through with if it wasn’t for Luke and Jace’s death and the Greens subsequent reaction to said deaths.
i don’t have anything to add, this right here is exactly it.

Currently working on a Gravity Falls au rn but life got in the way and it's gonna take some time to finish. But, I couldn't wait on showing it so here's a little sneak peak.
Introducing my Gravity Falls! Celestial Au in which Stan is a sun god and goes by Phoebus (epithet of Apollo in mythology) and Ford is a moon god and goes by Mene (epithet of Selene in mythology).
This is only a small fraction of this au for I have a whole plot and art planned for this that I had been and still working on for quite some time. (Though I am not sure time and my lack of resources would allow it but regardless I'll still go for it.)
Sidenote: I would like to thank @elishevart for listening to my ramblings for this au. Your support helped and encouraged me so much and I am very much grateful to you.

Is it just me or does Marinette have it worse compared to Adrien narratively and in the fandom?
Let’s go over the facts:
Marinette has two bullies while said bullies are rubbing themselves all over Adrien
Marinette is the one constantly embarrassing herself and tripping over a guy who barely acknowledges her
Adrien gets to put other peoples feelings (her bullies) above her’s, but if Adrien isn’t her priority 24/7 she gets bashed to hell and back by the fandom
Adrien is the one who gets to be akumatized and destroy the world, but if Marinette even shows the slightest bit of negativity she gets bashed for being ‘too emotional’ and ‘Irresponsible’
Adrien gets to ‘move on’ with Kagami and actively chase another girl with a mask and got almost no flack from the fandom, but Marinette actively trying to move past Adrien with Luka even though her secret identity keeps getting in the way gets her scorn from the fandom, her friends, and the universe bending over backwards to punish her for trying to leave Adrien behind her
Adrien’s jealousy can get excused but Marinette’s earned her a rival who trying to get her hero persona murdered
It’s alway Ladybug who has to deal with people hating her and trying to destroy her via working with a terrorist and having to endure them in her civilian life (Chloe and Lila) but Chat Noir is never on the receiving end of this
Marinette is portrayed as a jealous person who can’t change how she views people (despite her becoming best friends with Kagami, supporting her relationship with Adrien, and tried to get them together twice Frozer and Pigeon 72), but Adrien’s jealous destructive jealously is either brushed off or justified by the narrative and the audience
Adrien gets to be a bad partner to Kagami for no good reason,but Marinette’s struggle to balance out her secret identity as well as her relationship but gets treated as an even worse partner
Adrien gets to be a bad partner and throw childish tantrums but Marinette is somehow the terrible, irresponsible, toxic, abusive one
Marinette is always held up to unfair standards and expectations while Adrien has close to none both narratively and in the fandom
Marinette is the one bashed for not helping Adrien escape his abusive father (despite being 14) but Adrien is never bashed for not standing up to his father (his age is always used to excuse his passive behavior)
These are just the few I can think of off the time up my head but it’s pretty clear whose side the show is on. This is clearly a show that young girls should look up to.😘
Feel free to reblog and add more if I’m missing anything.

I wonder what a rick and morty gravity falls corossover would be like? Morty just dragging around these two kids trying not to traumatise them.
As a funny I think dipper and mabel would be having the time of their lives while Morty is so worried that Rick is gonna give them so much trauma (they’d be besties tho). I also think Rick, Stan, and ford would be pretty decent friends. Stan and Rick would just be goofing off, and ford and Rick could get along by talking abt sciency shit (they would totally try to impress and seem smarter than the other)
As an actual plot line, I think Morty would start to notice how different his relationship with Rick is from how it is with the gravity falls group. It’s turn into a bit of internal conflict where Morty starts to wonder if Rick actually cares abt him (I mean he does already but it’d be more prominent here) and Rick would have to be nicer to make Morty feel better (he’d definitely be getting advice from Stan and ford)

Dean: *is heterosexual, homophobic, misogynistic, racist, and a Proud American^TM; is meant to be in order to appeal to a conservative audience, and if he does anything “feminine” it’s literally for a laugh because of how solidly he conforms to cisheteronormative standards outside of that (see: his fanboying over soap operas); he is thee macho man of the show, and he not only adheres to but loves the self-serving flaws of the culture he’s a part of*
Dean Stans: Well we don’t care about the actual implications of his character being, at its base, a glorification of cishet white American patriarchy. What if I wanted to see him fuck the first white guy who is remotely available.
