With a spoon…because it will hurt more
Help me, Tumblr:
Imagine you’re reading a document which is explaining the details of a scientific trial to you, a trial you are considering volunteering to be a participant in…a guinea-pig to use the metaphor…
…if the document describes blood sample volumes, would you rather the volumes given were in milliliters (and do you prefer the abbreviation ml or mL?) teaspoons/tablespoons or something else?
🥄
For example:
We will take approximately 75mL of blood at this visit
We will take approximately 75ml of blood at this visit
We will take approximately 5 tablespoons of blood at this visit
Comments are very gratefully received
Please reblog if you can to reach a wider audience

why do people watch the scene when lucerys says rhaenyra is perfect and their reaction automatically is "no boy, she isn't", yeah we know it and we should not care atm. it's luke's opinion. how much does it say about rhae??
she is so kind and loving mother. loves equally her sons from both fathers AND daemon's daughters. she taught them well and respects the children no matter for their age and gender, she supports them and helps with their future responsibilities
she clearly is good for people in the dragonstone cause her ladies were horrified and crying during her labor, every little scene we saw the people respect and like her, elinda massey is great example
she must be a good ruler, even if just on the dragonstone but we also know she was an active member of small council and has supports and sympathy of lords (those who are not against her just bc of her gender), especially those who know her personally like lord caswell or lord beesburry
she is perfect in the eyes of her kids and when luke says that, your instant reaction doesn't have to be "nah, she's not", bitch, did he ask for your opinion

In your opinion, would Princess Viserra's fate have changed if she had been promised to Lord Manderly's heir, and not to him?
That is to say, if marriage to the Manderlys were necessary to formalize a pact with the North, perhaps a handsome husband of the same age who would make her Lady of White Harbor would be more interesting to the young princess.
I won't hold back. NOTHING about Viserra's storyline makes any sense short of all the characters having a stroke.
Perceptive and compassionate Alysanne, who previously demonstrated considerable matchmaking skills, suddenly becomes very bad at it. (Don't get me started on Elio Garcia's attempt to defend Alysanne's OOC behavior as her being jealous of her own daughter's beauty.)
Jaehaerys suddenly becomes an absentee father from the 1950s rather than, you know, a medieval king for whom his daughter's marriage is of the utmost political importance.
Septon Barth? Grand Maester Elysar? Both MIA.
Theomore Manderly? If he was truly canny, he would have seen the offer for what it was and declined it.
Its true, the best way to tie the North closer to the south (and more specifically the Iron Throne) short of House Stark is House Manderly. However, marrying Viserra, a princess (and the prettiest one at that) to Theomore entirely defeats that purpose. One, a fat man old enough to be your grandfather is hardly appealing on a personal level, especially to a teen princess who knows just how attractive she is. Two, any children Viserra had would come behind four wives' worth of stepchildren, practically guaranteeing that the future Lords of White Harbor won't share any direct blood ties to House Targaryen, which brings me to my third point. Marrying Viserra to Theomore more or less dooms Viserra's line to obscurity and she herself to a life of dependency on the charity of her stepson.
What, then, would have made way more sense? Marrying her to Desmond, who, as Theomore's great-grandson, would probably be fairly close in age to her, not to mention higher in the succession.
Now, to answer your question, yes I absolutely do believe Viserra might have lived a longer (and perhaps even fulfilling) life if her parents had picked someone other than Theomore Manderly to be her husband. Remember, the whole reason she was even out and about the night of her death was because she wanted to have fun one last time before resigning herself to her fate. If she had instead been looking forward to her wedding she wouldn't have had any incentive to sneak out, which makes the chances of her suffering a tragic accident the way she did in OTL astronomically lower.
Thanks for the question, @diegoedil

All Character Profiles of AFO
BNHA Ultra Archives 2016 (Note: this was never translated into English officially and fan translations that had translated some of the character profiles never did afo as this was in 2016 where AFO fans were practically non-existent so no English translation ☹️)
BNHA Ultra Analysis 2019
Bonus content about the Kamino incident
Hawks Villain Report 2022 (Note: Never officially translated into English either, fan translations do exist however)
Translation below
The ringleader and guide of the villains
All for One
Quirk: All for One
Profile
Real Name: N/A
Height: 225 cm
Birthday: ???
Affiliation: League of Villains
His origins and family structure are all a mystery.
Personality: The leader of the villain faction whose hobbies, thoughts, and preferences are all surrounded by mystery. He even has the notable characteristic of enjoying criminal activities as if they were a game. He will use all that can be used--before discarding them away. Truly the embodiment of evil; the Symbol of Evil.
-----
Countermeasures against AFO: Separate him from Shigaraki
AFO is already an extremely powerful opponent alone. There is no chance of victory if he appears together with Shigaraki. Cooperation between tops of the hero industry is the bare minimum required to battle him
Yaoyorozu: It is shameful, but I was too shook with fear and ended up unable to move during Kamino... He is not an opponent one should fight alone.
Bakugo: Some!!! Seems to call him “Pickled Plum Head”, huh. To me, he looks like nothing but a fucking “Nutsack” though!!
-----
Stats (clockwise, from top left)
Technique: A
Power: S+
Speed: S+
Intelligence: S+
Health: C
-----
Origin The ringleader: he has linked his quirk to Shigaraki
The name of his quirk--which is also his villain name--All for One, has been planted into Shigaraki as well thanks to the Doctor. It is a world-shaking, extremely dangerous quirk. One for All, its antithesis which is held by Deku that can defeat it, becomes absolutely essential.
-----
Forced Coercion of an Innocent Boy and His Family
It has been revealed that he has forcefully coerced a highschool boy and his family to use for his plans. He surely and certainly is a fiend. By the way, the likelihood of this happening has been implied in the 2021 MHA exhibition. The picture on the left was actually part of the exhibition. An evil eye that looks at a boy. It was a hint to all the guests about the threat of the great evil.
