If laena wedded viserys the dance will happen expect rhae*nyra won't get the velaryon support and if anyone thinks otherwise they don't understand coryls and rhaenys

I just got an insanely similar ask right before this one, and I will say the same thing. this is insanely true.

Corlys only backed Rhaenyra and her bastard children because he was desperate to get even a figment of his name near the throne. he only backed Luke and Jace's parenthood through Laenor as it was the only way to "get his blood" on the throne (even if the boys were not truly his, 'history only remembers names').

if Laena had been queen and had children to Viserys, he would have abandoned Rhaenyra the second Jace popped out with brown hair, he wouldn't have even waited for Luke or Joffery to be born.

Rhaenys backs her husband just as much as she wishes to further their shared bloodline, so it would be easy to say she would similarly back Laena's children. we saw her push for Baela and Rhaena to take the claim to Driftmark despite hating Daemon, imagine if Laena's children were born to the thrown through Viserys? she would similarly back Laena and drop Rhaenyra in a heartbeat.

I would even argue they would support Laena prior to Rhaenyra having children and would potentially avoid wedding Laenor to Rhaenyra to begin with (as it would serve them better to marry him to another house to create an ally instead of marrying him to Rhaenyra where it would have little benefit)

the war would be insanely quick and easy if Rhaenyra had attempted to petition her and her childrens claim, she would have no allies and the realm would more than likely drop their oaths.

those TB fans are so delusional sometimes, that their terrible takes only serve to damn their girl more than she already was.

#corlys velaryon #rhaenys targaryen #viserys targaryen #laena velaryon #I need a tag that stands between pro and anti team black/Rhaenyra #cause I'm not an anti. I enjoy them as characters and the parts they play in the show at times #but I dont love them either #its more like #lukewarm feelings about rhaenyra/team black #but ill settle for #anti rhaenyra targaryen #anti team black #just to keep *those* fans away from me #hotd #house of the dragon #laena wedding viserys would have kept Rhaenyra and her children from inheriting anything #at least viserys marrying alicent gave her a shot #and yet TB is so caught up in their mindless hatred they dont seek whats best for their girl #its embarrassing

#raveartts #httyd #how to train your dragon #light fury #dragon art #anyways so i was trying to study what method was used to draw the httyd concept art #and eventually i think i figured it out #it's (colored) pencils with alcohol markers #i was unsure if it was digital or watercolor at first tbh #also they definitely use toned paper which i simply do not have #so I gave it a shot by mashing up some of the light fury concepts for fun #i didn't fully finish coloring it bc i got tired #but i think i captured The Look at least a little bit #style replication isn't really my thing ofc but for a first attempt. you can see it resembles the concepts #.....also honestly. this is unrelated #but i've never fully watched httyd 3. i tried numerous times but i could never get my full attention on it #i'm sorry it's just. so bad omg #i think the light fury's design isn't as awful as people make it out to be #but she just doesn't look like she belongs in the universe either #SHE'S TOO FUCKING SMOOTH MAKE HER ROUGH #though the way she's animated is very nice to look at ofc

My week's been pretty meh, but my first coping mechanism was to pull up the inn scenes from EO2U.... and it,, still worked wonders.

I know a lot of people hate/don't like the untolds. But both games instantly sooth me. They mean something different than making my own stuff. Like making my own eocs is awesome and my favorite part. But you know. It takes energy. Sometimes playing and creating stuff drains me. Like I need to consume art instead of always making it.

The untolds with their premade cast kinda takes a load off me. I get to learn more about these characters, they're still eo characters. But I can sit back and relax while I watch.

I think about drawing them time to time,, but... idk I'm worried about that making my brain associate them with draining activities (drawings, creating, making) rather than the relaxing bit (listening to their dialogues, absorbing, being inspired).

#ragna ramblings #brainrot #i just wish people gave them a shot bc honestly #yeah they go off canon but theyre the equivalent of someone else's story #we should... well at least i think other people's versions of things are cool #like the whole point of eo IS to make stuff up!!!

Despite how wildly Elendira was changed as a character in tristamp she's just. so fascinating to me both bc of her existence as a whole (a human/plant hybrid of sorts that Nai, despite his hatred for humans, for some reason has allowed to exist) and the idea of her being an honest, childish reflection of Nai himself.

There is absolutely no way that Elendira's disdain for humans isn't something she learned from him. And when you compare their expressions and behavior - they are just so painfully similar. From the way their emotions shift so quickly from one to another to how they show so clearly on their faces/bodies,

And how the only way to somewhat (poorly) mask themselves is to physically shift away and hide - which they both do in front of Vash specifically.

On that note, Elendira's reaction to physical pain is very interesting to me too in how it contrasts with Nai's. Whereas she throws a tantrum and cries out about how much it hurts, physical pain does very little for Nai (outwardly, that is) as shown in eps 3 and 12. Even as Vash tries to shoot down his blades or as Nai burns himself alive along the fire of Vash's angel arm, it is the emotional aspect (Vash's rejection) which actually hurts him. It can be heard in his voice or seen in his face and still, he tries to hide that too behind a smile or laugh that always seems awfully close to crying or sobbing.

Ig what I'm trying to point at is Elendira - as a metaphorical and literal reflection of him, since she's implied to be a clone, kinda - being able to voice and act out all the reactions to pain, physical and emotional, that Nai usually doesn't allow himself to show.

Extra interesting to me that she immediately labels Vash a traitor and cries harder when she mentions Nai and how Vash doesn't know.

I think a more literal tl of this bit is something along the lines of "it's your fault that lord Knives -", regardless... what is it that Vash doesn't know or that he's at fault for? Is she echoing Nai's pain, his loneliness? Why does she feel it so deeply?

And did Vash realize? What she is and where she comes from, or why she exists? Is that why he looked so sad at the sight of her? Did he see part of his brother in her too? Did Nai as a kid ever cry like that?

#I know some ppl have theorized all the children-clone experiments could be a way to bring back tessla #and/or he gave elendira tessla's other eye bc of it buuuut im not entirely convinced of that for a bunch of reasons #anyway what I meant to say is elendira's blue eye is v similar to vash's too; not just tessla's #tho her hair is seemingly the same shade as nai's #I wonder if part of nai saw them both - tessla and vash - in her and if that's partly why she's allowed to live #the implication that he either talks abt vash to her or has at least allowed her to see some of his more vulnerable sides is #insane actually #im extremely curious abt their possible relationship and (hopefully) future interactions #conrad mentions smth along the lines of her being neither human nor plant but imo judging by her calling vash a traitor #and her disdain for humans; it seems she actually identifies as more plant-like #interesting really #I hope she gets to kick ass tho her getting shot down like that was criminal #tp #on a less angsty note it's lowkey cute that she got nai's :3 smile #couldn't add the comparison bc of image limits but yeah #she's so daughter slash clone slash sister coded

The Lord of Ice (from Awake, Sweet Prince)

I'm pretty sure this is the first time I've wholly coloured an artwork digitally, on my own, and been pleased with the results. The 7 days it took me to figure out have been so worth it.

#four swords #blue link #fsa blue #winter fae au #winter fae #illustration #blue was actually the least defined of all of the characters when i wrote the fanfic #i didn't have a clear idea of what i wanted him to look like - beyond an amalgamation of the concepts i wanted him to represent #which. yeah. i'm actually really really happy with how this turned out!! #idk if he looks otherworldly and intimidating enough #but i gave it a shot and i'm proud of that :)

"i know we shouldn't be killing rhea and i personally am against it and my gut tells me this is wrong but i'll do it anyway because nobody else uses logic on this route anyway!"

#DCB Three Hopes Run #this is no thoughts head empty route so she's just going to blindly trust claude who has faced plenty of pushback #for his decisions and go ahead with helping him and the others kill rhea for reasons they have zero and sometimes negative evidence of #like rly why wouldn't she just be like hmm I don't agree with this can I sit this one out. nope she's gonna get involved anyway #it would've been more interesting if marianne disagreed and grew backbone and sided with the church instead #they try to write the routes as like... everyone is happy with their leader (unless you're dimitri #bc then felix gets to talk shit for half the game in houses and ppl ate it up like pie) #and they don't ask questions. when they do ask questions it's a brief answer that just shoots it down #even lorenz in gw saying they should just leave edelgard for dead was ignored #for all the proper reasoning he gave everyone else just went lol you're like (edelgard or claude depending on your choice)!!! #and then went on about the uwu classmate thing (even tho they didn't rly even know each other at all in this game as classmates #and by the timeline edelgard left the monastery before even the lions so she was around them the least amount of time) #like... actual reasoning in this game gets shot down so fast so it's no wonder marianne didn't actually DO anything #and didn't stick by her actual feelings/beliefs but it's still annoying that she didn't #maybe it would've made claude and friends think twice abt the whole thing if they had to cut marianne down too #for refusing to go along with it bc she she didn't believe it was the right thing to do

The more I think about it, the more I'm convinced that Izana chose Shion as his successor because he wanted someone a) corrupt enough to guarantee the continuation of the Black Dragons' ruin which Izana started and b) easy to manipulate so Izana would be able to pull the strings from the shadows even after officially retiring, which is why he was shown hanging around the BD HQ even when he was no longer in charge and bossing Shion around. The most glaring example is of course him ordering Shion to send his men to harrass Kazutora in order to cause a fight between Mikey and the BD, but it probably wasn't his first time intervening

(credits: @manjiroasis on twitter)

We know that Shion is three things: extremely violent, not very smart, and scared of yet loyal to Izana. In short, the perfect pawn for that specific position

And that would mean that the 9th gen Black Dragons, which Shion is so proud of even years later, was nothing but Izana's sock puppet all along. Which is kind of sad

#tokyo revengers #tokyo revengers analysis #izana kurokawa #shion madarame #don't mind me i just have Thoughts about shion #i know he's written to be as unsympathetic as possible (at least so far) but there are still some very humane aspects to his character #he refused to attack kakucho when izana gave the order! (and don't tell me it was out of self preservation cause that boy has never heard #of the word) he was genuinely shocked and saddened when izana and kaku got shot! he stayed behind with the others to get arrested! #he's not a monster!!! he's a jerk and a moron but he's not Pure Evil #and i keep wondering what kind of life he's led to end up where he is now. it probably wasn't nice #he already had his tattoo at 13 for god sake

so uh. that 2.2 Special Program, huh

#hsr #honkai star rail #hsr 2.2 #hsr spoilers #hsr leaks #the body of this post reads as far less enthusiastic than i really am #i just don’t know how to casually return from my latest 2 week hiatus only to gush abt a game i’ve hardly blogged abt before #but i’m not making a whole ass sideblog for it like i did for Genshin. nah y’all r gonna bear witness to my fixation with this one #so anyways don’t mind me. vibrating into another dimension with anticipation for the next 11 days #it’s insane man. a year ago i Never ever woulda thought i’d be so invested in this game. and it took Months for the game to really grab me #but i’m v glad i kept coming back even when i was struggling to really get into it. like i just had this feeling that if i stuck around and #gave the game a chance to really like. come into its stride. i just always felt like there was Something there and i just hadn’t found it #and holy shit i finally found it in Penacony. the devs really truly outdid themselves with this region and these characters and this story #not to discount everything that’s happened prior. like i was genuinely Liking it all before now but i wasn’t Loving it y’know #but that may be more a ‘me having to fight tooth n’ nail to force myself to consume new media’ thing than it is a matter of the actual game #anyways i came here to talk abt the program! bc since i’m not filming my HSR stuff i’m gonna be insufferable abt it on Tumblr instead ! :) #and i’m probably not filming any more Genshin stuff. or anything else at all for that matter but let’s not talk abt that dead dream #pun not intended lmao. Anyways let’s return to the subject at hand while there’s still room left in these tags shall we #i’m so fucking glad they had Aventurine on this program man. especially since he’s leaked to only have 18 lines in 2.2… it was nice to see- #-him here at least 🥹 i’ll take what i can get. his unenthusiastic little bird noises at the beginning.. him being reluctant to come out.. #the way one of the first things to come out of his mouth was ‘y’know DR RATIO once told me…’ like boy we get it ur in love with him 🙄 (/J!) #i love how they can’t go on these programs w/o talking abt each other it’s adorable. AND THE WAY HE WAS THE ONE TO EXPLAIN BOOTHILL’S KIT!? #they can’t just fuel my crackship like this… god and his whole ‘muddle-fudger.. son-of-a-nice-lady?’ thing had me wheezing #Aven mocking Boothill’s inability to curse was not on my special program bingo card but fuck i’m here for it #and Robin being all curious abt him was so cute.. ‘who /is/ he? … does he order milk at the bar?’ i’m crying she’s so sweet #also the trailer was fucking insane. which feels redundant as hell bc all of HoYo’s version trailers go hard but like. still. wow. #that millisecond long shot of Boothill surveying the skyline is so fucking good. also what the fuck is Jing Yuan doing here!! #not complaining at all tho. we’ve got JY & DH(IL?).

You have to love how Angel was one of the few people who didn't make fun of Buffy's name.

Like, Spike did, Fred did, one demon did (that I'm forgetting which one it was, exactly. But it was wondering if Buffy was short for anything and then she said, "No. Just Buffy."), Doyle called her "Muffy" by accident once, Giles is aghast that the new Slayer's name is Buffy in one of the classic comics, Faith in "Go Ask Malice: A Slayer's Diary" misunderstands and at first thinks Buffy's name is "Summers" (and digs it) and is a bit disappointed to find out that it's "Buffy" instead.

But we never see Angel hating on Buffy's name.

#Buffy the vampire slayer #Bangel #How much you wanna bet he thinks her name is pretty like she thought his was? #Because they're soulmate-y. And even a bit cheesy (I'll admit) like that #Taaroko wrote a s1 missing moment one-shot where Buffy gave angel her name (not knowing of course that he already knew it) and he said that #'It was pretty' echoing. Of course. What she said to him about his name (and he meant it). And this one-shot is so great #I also adore that willow and Xander didn't iirc #Forest was also surprised. At least. By Buffy's name. Thinking Riley had given her a nickname or something and was saying she was buff #(like muscular) she was 'buff-y' and then Riley had to correct him that Buffy was her name
