For the brutally honest ship opinion, what do you think of Viserys/Aemma? Fandom has romanticized them so much (and so has the show), but I just can't get over the fact that Aemma begged him to stop, crying that she doesn't want to die, while Viserys cut her in two for his male heir. She also mentioned that she doesn't want to go through the ordeal of pregnancy again, implying reproductive abuse that Viserys repeated with Allicent. Fandom is determined to make him Ned 2.0, but I don't see it

Ciao nonny,

For my brutally honest opinion about Aemma/Viserys…

… people really romanticise them so much? I mean the scene about her death is on the top three of unwatchable/unreadable scenes of the whole franchise (GoT and HotD). It’s up there with Talisa’s death in GoT and the mention of the way Elia was killed in asoiaf and the grief and vengeance Oberyn and Doran still feel for it.

Or maybe I am just overly sensitive over it because I am a woman and seeing people killing a babe in the womb and the mother or opening a woman to get the child out of her… it was crude and raw and whilst plausible of the time and characters is in my opinion unwatchable and kinds of make unredeemable the men involved.

Aemma begged for her life, and whilst it’s true she might have died anyway and this way the babe would have a chance, for how little… she pleaded, she begged him, told him she wanted to live, and he ignored that to get his son.

He didn’t even comfort her properly. He just ignored her fear, her pain and her terror. The whole exchange they have before the birth also enlightens us to the sheer abuse Aemma suffered and accepted because they taught her it was her duty to give him male heirs (‘the queen was ever mindful of her duty’)

The same abuse, but worsened, that Alicent suffered. Because not only she suffers that very same abuse, but she manages to give him three sons. All healthy and living through infanthood and into adulthood. She does her duty, as a wife and mother and still Viserys overlooks the sons she gave him in favour of Rhaenyra.

She suffers that abuse, she overcomes it, she does her duty and manages to give him what he wanted and still her children are almost nothing to him.

Even on his bed, during his illness he calls Rhaenyra “my only child” as if he doesn’t consider Alicent’s children as his, the sons he so much wanted and that she gave him. He forces himself to hold court to defend Rhaenyra, he would not have done the same for any of Alicent’s children.

He ignores his own son’s cut/off eye because Rhaenyra’s honour was put in discussion for the truth.

And whilst Viserys might have done well by Rhaenyra (defending her beyond defence, and loving her and making up for the years he overlooked her) he does not do the same for his other children.

And whilst in Fire and Blood it’s said that before dying he spent an evening with Helaena and his grandchildren, telling them stories that was cut off from the show and for good reason since he’s barely seen interacting with any of his children by Alicent if not to defend Rhaenyra.

Also, people like to think him of the new Ned because of the way they framed his interactions with Rhaenyra (which reminds them of Ned/Arya)… and it was intentional, and in some ways it was similar (Viserys laughing with her about her quirks and being indulgent with her, his rage but love even though Rhaenyra is being difficult for the standards of the time and context, his unwavering support of her claim despite her dishonourable for the context and time actions).

Though if they are paralleling him and Aemma with Ned “my lady you’re holding your hands strangely, who harmed you?” Stark and Catelyn “Ned loves my hair” Stark I’m gonna throw a right fit.

Anyone who knows me a little bit knows I adore Ned and Cat, despite their fragilities and faults… and to even anyone is imagining Viserys could be paralleled with Ned outside of the Ned/Arya parallel they are severely mistaken.

Even worse if they want to parallel Viserys “I want so badly a son that I'm going to have it at any cost (my wife's life cost), then when I have him I'm gone ignore him” with Ned fucking Stark who raised and loved the son of a man he most probably hated who might have or not abducted his sister, and has for sure secluded her away from her family against which he was fighting because of the love he bore his sister, protecting him even against his own best friend... I don't think they have been paying attention.

Since this can become pretty difficult and also triggering I'm putting the rest under the cut.

I give you the antithesis. Ned Stark with Lyanna Stark and Viserys Targaryen with Aemma Arryn and if any of you wants to argue that that doesn't count because it should be between Ned and Cat and Viserys and Aemma just remember that:

Lyanna had only been sixteen, a child-woman of surpassing loveliness. Ned had loved her with all his heart. — Eddard I, AGOT

Whoever Jon's mother had been, Ned must have loved her fiercely, for nothing Catelyn said would persuade him to send the boy away. — Catelyn II, AGOT

So, just shut the hell up if you're gonna argue Ned&Lyanna are not good term of paragon, also because we don't know what exactly caused Lyanna to bleed to death, she could've had a difficult birth same as Aemma did, she could have had a premature birth (like it happened with Visenya daughter of Rhaenyra), so many things could've gone wrong, still it is about a woman laying on her deathbed, during the birth of her son and the man who loves her standing beside her as she dies.

Ned and Lyanna So, the scenes begins with Ned running up the stairs of the Tower of Joy to reach a screaming Lyanna. When he barges through the door Lyanna is shown in a bed of blood, her whole middle covered in vivid blood, sweaty and pale, scared, delirious. Yet she recognizes her brother, whom she loves and missed even though delirious, and she's so much out of it that in a first moment she is afraid he might be a dream.

What does Ned does? He abandons his sword at the feet of the bed and runs to his sister's bedside, kneeling at her side and when Lyanna asks him if he's a dream, Ned assures her that no, he's not a dream and he's really there and to drive the point through he grabs her hand.

Then, as he caresses her forehead and holds her hand, she tells him she missed him and Ned, who has fought a bloody war, has lost his father and brother both because of Aerys, tenderly tells her he missed her too.

He does all he can to comfort her.

And when Lyanna tells him she wants to brave, even though he is holding back his tears he tells her she is.

Lyanna is clearly terrorized, not only has she just given birth mostly alone after months of seclusion and possibly abuse; not only with the grief of her father and brother dying because of Aerys madness and her situation with the fear for the man she loved (? maybe) and the other people she loved for sure (her brothers and her mother); she knows she's about to die so we can only imagine how difficult and traumatic the birth might have been for her; she's scared for herself and she's terrorized for her son who faces a terrible death if word ever got out of who he is.

What does Ned does? He tells her she's not going to die (comforts himself as much as he is comforting her) and goes out of his way to try and save her (demands water for her, which is a kindness and a help for women who have just went through childbirth; and demands she's seen by a maester, asking for his presence and apparently Rhaegar left his pregnant lover/wife without Maester? Anyway digressing). Lyanna on the other hand knows what it is that truly scares her, Jon's fate.

So she begs him to listen to her and he does. She begs him to protect her boy, to promise to protect him. She entrusts her son in his arms, and by Ned's words themselves:

He could hear her still at times. Promise me, she had cried, in a room that smelled of blood and roses. Promise me, Ned. The fever had taken her strength and her voice had been faint as a whisper, but when he gave her his word, the fear had gone out of his sister's eyes. Ned remembered the way she had smiled then, how tightly her fingers had clutched his as she gave up her hold on life, the rose petals spilling from her palm, dead and black. After that he remembered nothing. They had found him still holding her body, silent with grief. The little crannogman, Howland Reed, had taken her hand from his. Ned could recall none of it. — Eddard I, AGOT

Another proof of how much Ned loved her is that he remembers perfectly Lyanna's last words, the way she died comforted by the truth her brother would protect her son, and thus her son was safe from any harm, but from that moment on (until presumably he was given Jon) he had held onto Lyanna, and he was so grief-stricken he could not recall what happened until Howland Reed had disentangled him from his sister.

Arguably Ned in the end did everything and more to ensure Lyanna died peacefully. Aemma would've probably died anyway (and both Lyanna and Aemma were put in a situation in which childbirth was even more dangerous than normal by their Targaryen husbands/lovers abusers for some damn prophecy, the same one mind you) yet Viserys failed not only for the sheer abuse he put her through (which I have already said) but for the way he handled the moment of her death. Viserys failed miserably where Ned managed the only possible success that day, ensuring his sister had peace as she died and ensuring her last wish was honored by keeping her child safe.

Again, Aemma might have died anyway, but first of all Viserys put her in that condition, despite being aware that their pregnancy had been always difficult and took a toll on her health, despite know how much it hurt and weighted on her. Still, Viserys didn't even manage to comfort his own wife, I'm pretty sure they could've given her milk of the poppy to ensure that she did not feel as much the pain and also making sure she staid still, something that did not happen. Aemma fought as Viserys and the midwives kept her still and down. She fought to survive, she fought because she didn't want to die and no one comforted her.

And I've cut out the worst of Aemma's death scene, the part in which she struggled and fought, and pleaded and begged to be listened to, to be comforted, to be helped, to be saved. Because as I've said it's pretty hard for me to see, and I think it might be pretty hard for anyone with a bit of sensibility.

Tbh, both men were put in a terrible situation, the difference?

Ned was not the one to put Lyanna in that situation to begin with, and especially from what we know of his character he would not have put his wife in that situation either. The Stark motto ‘Winter is coming’ is as much as a prophecy as ‘the dragon dream’, still Ned did not live his whole life with the only intention to father children that would defend the North. His children defended the North because Ned taught them their duty. Males and females.

Ned managed to comfort his dying sister, Viserys did not comfort his dying wife. Or did not find the right key to comfort her. Aemma died afraid and struggling to save herself. Lyanna died peacefully knowing her family still loved her, that they loved her enough to look beyond the parentage of her son to keep him safe because of the love they had for her. That Ned bore her.

Put into an impossible situation, Ned managed to do the only thing he could do. He made sure his sister died peacefully and feeling loved, knowing her son safe.

Aemma died struggling for her life, her child being torn from her womb at her husband's choice, fearful for the fate of the child she was carrying and grief stricken for all the grief the pregnancies duty and Viserys imposed on her caused.

So yeah, we respect no man who would put his wife/lover/woman through all of that for any reason, even less for a damn prophecy (you'll find no apologist's behavior toward Rhaegar and Viserys here) in this household.

Tbh considering him the new Ned means people have not really paid attention to the whole matter. Viserys is the new Rhaegar and the abuse Aemma and Alicent suffered is the same abuse Elia and Lyanna suffered at Rhaegar's hands.

So, yeah, this turned pretty long...but I really, really hate this paragon and I really don't think people should overlook the abuse Viserys put Aemma and Alicent through only because his love stories (especially the one with Aemma) are shown only by his eyes. It's a POV trap which makes you believe that the love he bore Aemma is enough to overlook the abuse he doesn't see as such. But it is there.

And if people wanna parallel Viserys (aka Rhaegar 2.0) to Ned… I just have to say

As always, thank you for your ask! And sending all my love ~G.

For the brutal honest opinion on the ship thing but Choosing series edition:

Akiho x Elle

Jr x Jordan

Chad x Ginny Gothel

I mean...you're asking for my honest opinion on ships I came up with but okay!

Akiho x Elle: Perfection. One of the best ships!

Jr x Jordan: In all honesty, they were kinda a last-second ship so I don't really have a lot to talk about there.

Chad x Ginny Gothel: Ah, this ship! The ship that was born from realizing that yes, Chad may have been horrible in the movies but he deserved more than to marry someone who willingly shoved him into a closet. And thus, Chinny was born! I may make them sad at times but always with good things on the horizon!

🍉 Thomesa, Thominewt, Newtmas, Thominho, Nalby, Minally, Sonyariett, Minho/Alby (don't know the ship name), Thomaris, Minewby (Minho/Newt/Alby) for honest ship opinion? 🍉

Send me a ship and I’ll give you my (brutally) honest opinion on it

thank you for this anon:DD

to crest and saph who got a tag for this post: it's bc i recced your fics :D

Thomesa

Literal perfection, main character + his narrative foil, deontology vs. utilitarianism depicted in the most empathetic of ways, finally culminating and coming full circle in forgiveness and understanding of the complexitiy of the situation at "I tried."--"I know." Without Thomas and Teresa the story would not exist, and the arc they span over the series is by far the most powerful to me. OTP <3

All my Thomesa Fics on AO3, all my Thomesa Edits.

Thominewt

Fun! There's some really sweet fic for them out there, and I think they would have a wonderful dynamic!

Newtmas

I loved it when I first joined the fandom and then burned out of it a little. Difficult at times that it's so predominant in the fandom; if they're not one of your top ships you have to make a conscious effort to filter Newtmas content out for your own piece of mind. Also I seem to like different things about them than many of the other shippers so I don't vibe with all Newtmas content out there. Which is fair and valid, the reasons people like certain ships are manifold and varied, which is exactly what makes fandom as wonderful as it is. <3

Thominho

A bit of the same as Newtmas, when I discovered it I loved it a lot, but I think I've since written and read about them plenty and I'm more or less saturated on them. Mostly I wrote As Long as I Watch Over You as a canon compliant fic, and to me that's exactly the way they could get together.

Nalby

It took me a long time to see them (mainly due to how Alby commits suicide in the books which is just not something I cope with well), but now I like them a lot! However I do find it a tedious ship to fix since Alby dies so early on in the series. weaving golden threads of fate was the first (and so far only) nalby fic i've written. (This one is canonverse though.)

Minally

Cool! They're definitely interesting characters to smash together bc they're both so stubborn and full of themselves (while at the same time probably harboring deep insecurities). I love Marathon Man by @crestfallercanyon

Sonyarriet

Love! I have a started Glade fic for them (Run, Baby, Run) that I really hope to finish one day. It's going to start out as them butting heads often and have a.. repressed feelings to lovers arc. :P

What I can say though is that many people seem to love a fluffy and wholesome arc for them in mostly sfw fics, so as an angst, tragedy, darkfic and smut lover there's not as much for me out there. (There seems to be a general trend for wlw content being much more wholesome and fluffy than mlm content, the reasons for which are varied and complex.)

Minalby

LOVE!!!!!!!!!! Especially at the glade I think they could have amazing dynamics!!! The way Minho comes back from running the maze in the first book and flops down onto the ground and commands Alby to get him water laksdjfalkjsfdsdajklf. (Also a nice ship: Minewby!! (Minho x Newt x Alby))

Thomaris

Cute! I have them in a depressing bookverse post canon fic that's Thomeris (Thomas x Teresa x Aris) where Aris is completely distraught about Rachel's death: Where did you go

Minewby

Ah lol there you go! I think they could be wonderful! @onceuponabluemoon has one of the few fics on ao3 about them: the Icarus to your certainty

Sam/Mary for the ship ask game

OOOO OKAY

okay so sam + mary has always driven me bonkers but like. in a jesus/mother mary kind of way. like pieta

I don't really view them in a romantic context (I feel like even though Mary was in the hunting life as well she is... more "normal" if that makes sense? like I feel like the way john raised the boys was so not normal even outside of the hunting thing. but that's another post). but also like. point me in the direction of some good fics or meta posts and I could be convinced.... 👀

my thoughts on them are: sam growing up saw her as more of a person than dean and john did in after her death. like dean and john saw her as the Perfect Mother and Perfect Wife (esp in the early seasons, before all the time travel stuff), almost like a Saint. and when she comes back I think sam can relate to her more than anybody else bc he never really saw her as that, he saw her as someone he never met but loves, he saw her as his mother but also a person who had hopes and dreams and a family. and I think mary can see that in sam. plus there's the whole "being raised in the life and wanted out and managed to get out before it dragged them back in by tragedy" thing they can bond over

I think sam might struggle at first in the fact that mary technically sold him to the devil in her deal with azazel but only for like a second. and then he forgives her bc he's sam winchester and he loves her and he's made deals before too

I was gonna add links to this post of some edits I think that helps encapsulates my feelings about them but they're not working so I'm just gonna rb them

idk if ANY of that made sense but yeah. them <3

send me a ship and I'll give you my (brutally) honest opinion about them

for the brutally honest ships: jotch and hotchniss

I can't find the post this ask meme is from, so I'm going to assume it's just for my honest opinion haha

Jotch: I think Jotch could have been canon for real. I think they even hint at it sometimes. There would be a really interesting power dynamic and Hotch having to reckon with the big age gap. I think JJ wouldn't let him push her away emotionally during cases, but she also struggles with being emotionally intimate in a relationship. It would probably start as a physical relationship and then a dangerous situation makes them realize it's more. I think JJ would still leave, but come back again after Emily and stay this time. Once she's a profiler, and she has more experience, she and Hotch would feel more like equals. She'd also understand his attachment to Haley during the Foyet arc and she'd really help him through it. I think he could actually be vulnerable with her and show her how much he values her.

Hotchniss: I love this ship, but not in canon lmao he knew her when she was like 21 and you don't come back from that lmao I also think Emily would get frustrated at how often he chooses the job over her, but she'd understand it and see it as another sign they aren't meant to be. Hotch would struggle with the dichotomy of needing her to obey him as a member of the team and giving her space to push back and speak for herself off duty. I also think she wouldn't be able to handle the image of her "sleeping with the boss" because she started as his subordinate (JJ is more like down and to the side)

Edit: I found the post! Tumblr just didn't refresh at all overnight rip

bruharvey

i generally do not have all that many thoughts on them, like, in terms of 'bruce x villain' ships it'd likely be on the higher end of my ranking than several others, but it's not something i seek out. it just exists and i passively go 'hm yeah ok' sometimes sdgfhg

THAT BEING SAID this particular edit of them lives in my brain forever and ever. life changing. show stopping.

Brutally honest opinion on ships, Valtteri edition

Valtteri and Kimi

Valtteri and Sebastian

Valtteri and Lewis

Valtteri and Daniel

Valtteri and Esteban

And my personal favorite;

Valtteri and Nico Rosberg

Do as many of these as you like 🥰

Val/Kimi - I have read fics for this ship before and I tend to enjoy them, but they arent one of my favourites. I feel like sometimes it's a bit forced solely for the fact that they're both Finnish

Val/Seb - again, have read fics for this before, don't really have anything to say about it, it's a bit meh to me

Danterri - I love the premise of this ship! I think there are some solid irl interactions that have kind of solidified the potential there, but I'm not much of a fan of Daniel so I've not interacted with a lot content but I have read one or two great drabbles for them!

Val/Este - uhhh I actually don't have any opinions on this tbh, and personally don't see any potential there

Val/Nico - I could get on board with this! I've never read any fics or anything for them, but if I came across one I definitely wouldn't be against it

thank u for keeping me entertained <3

send me a ship and I'll give my opinion

for the ship ask: byler (lonnie/ted edition) and more seriously hellcheer

ted has something fruity about him just because i say so, but the inner homophobia won that battle. lonnie is a piece of shit and there's no way he's not straight. don't ship them hdhsdhsdh

hellcheer is a no for me. they had that one cute scene, but also the age difference doesn't vibe with me. also, i hc chrissy as a lesbian sooooo... nop, don't like them at all romantically. they would've been good friends tho i would've liked to see their friendship develop if they weren't bones. as a side note, i like chrissy a lot more than eddie, sooooo maybe that's also why i don't ship them lol

MEGSTIEL (this is just to give you an excuse to talk about megstiel)

THANK YOUUU

i think ppl who hate this ship bc of meg’s actions in s1/2 are incredibly valid but other than that well.

[ID: an edited 5-star google review that reads, “Do not believe any ratings that is less than 5. Its a ship with the most pleasant interactions. What’s the last star you’re holding off. Is it the scenes were too sexy, too fresh, the chemistry was spread too generously. Stop being jerks.” /end ID]

there is so very much to say about them but i’m gonna just make a bullet point list of my main thoughts right now

- the way cas’s rebellion from god and his father parallels the way meg is constantly looking for gods and fathers (through azazel, through lucifer) and then chooses tfw as well is sooo good and i wish they got to talk more about that

- this fanart always makes me scream and cry and perish. any post about them being girlbestfriends in s7 makes me scream and cry and perish. this is a time when cas feels soo lost and guilty and meg feels so directionless and they find meaning in each other! she’s a demon who kills other demons and an angel to save HER angel and it all happens in ONE episode! oh my god!

- the scene that initially got me into megstiel was seeing the gifset of him wrapping her wrist in 8.17 and the thing is. physical touch is so lacking in spn and cas very rarely gets to give physical comfort and meg very rarely receives it and also. cas has healing powers he could literally just zap her wrist back but instead he chooses to painstakingly wrap it in bandages while flirting with her about festering wounds like. oh my fucking god. and then there’s ALSO the chance that cas CAN’T heal her bc his grace would somehow Interact with meg’s demonhood which is also SUCHHH a sexy concept and couples so well with meg’s “i feel so... clean” after their makeout session in 6.10. the idea that something in their natures is fundamentally oppositional and yet they are making it work...

- on a similar note the fact that when cas sees her (as evidenced by his reaction as emmanuel in 7.17) he doesn’t see rachel miner (*twirls hair* *giggles*) but her true demon face? like i loveee meg but i am not going to try to say that rachel miner ISN’T a huge part of that so the fact that that isn’t even a Factor for cas speaks more to the strength of their connection. also i love the idea that meg can see hints of CAS’s trueform or even that looking at cas hurts her eyes like looking into the sun and yet SHE KEEPS DOING IT. sorry for getting obsessed with good omens a few years ago and subsequently being obsessed with demon/angel relationships forever. as if it’s my fault

- they’re literally nice to each other idk how to stress that more. they’re NICE to each other and she DIED FOR HIM

- i just think meg’s moral code of picking a cause and devoting herself to it is sooo... i LOVE the idea of characters without an internal moral compass still Choosing to be good. which is why i also love thinking about meg being soulless jack’s cool aunt through cas. i love meg lives aus in general regardless of megstiellification. god can you imagine if she was there during human cas

- meg being just like a dean who was never rescued from hell before demonification is such a good thing to think about. i love thinking about cas wishing he had saved her beforehand i love her wishing cas had saved her beforehand and then pushing that down

- megstiel heaven endgame is everythingggg to me. i KNOW in my heart that he meets her in the empty and that she absolutely propositions him to “make it loud” and he laughs and they hug and then jack gets them (and ruby and like. maybe p much everyone else) out of the empty and cas lives with her and kelly and jack as they restructure the afterlife and emotionally support each other i KNOW it

- did i mention they’re nice to each other and she died for him

Send me a ship and I’ll give you my (brutally) honest opinion on it

snily ?

See, Snily is very much like Drarry in that personally I just don't get it. I mean he literally joined a supremacy group that wanted to hurt/main/kill Lily/people like her. To me that just doesn't vibe with a romantic relationship. Even beyond that there is a sense of big entitlement with Snily and Snape, where he acted like he was owed her love because they were friends or because he was less of an ass than James (and even that is dubious) which is very uncomfortable to me. Never mind the fact that we're never given any indication that I recall that Lily had any sort of romantic interest in him.

There is one exception to my dislike of them, and that's the memory scene in Deathly Hallows part two and that's for 3 very specific reasons: a). i'm obsessed with the editing of that sequence b). the music makes me emotional and c). Alan Rickman is a phenomenal actor and makes me feel things in that scene. But even during that scene I don't suddenly ship them, it's more that I find his love for her very believable and heartbreaking, and it's one of the few moments that I can look past my dislike of Snape to feel sorry for him.

send me a ship and i’ll give you my (brutally) honest opinion on it

For the ship opinion ask : Corlys/Rhaenys? They're compared to NedCat for the apparent compatibility and equality present in their relationship despite the bastards that Corlys fathers during the course of their marriage (Of course, he also abandoned Rhaenys canonically after Laenor's death and refused to listen to her plea to name Laena's daughters as his heir over the bastard children of the woman who they think murdered their son). But he's isn't as bad as Viserys or Daemon so...?

Ciao nonny,

Again, everyone has a right to ship what they want and please keeping doing it.

Said so…

Will people just stop trying to find the new Ned Stark??? News flash, guys there is only one Ned Stark and Catelyn Stark is keeping him all for herself so just stop!

Only Jon and Sansa have an ounch of what made Ned and Cat, NedCat and all the others are just pretenders.

Yes it’s clear it was a match that by itself it could’ve been a winning one and a good one besides, but Corlys still fathered several bastards (something Ned didn’t fucking do, thank you and amen) and he literally abandoned Rhaenys when Laenor and Laena their children died so close to each other.

Ned fucking Stark protected Catelyn when she went off the rails and took Tyrion prisoner, claiming she did it by his order. The exact opposite of Corlys leaving a grieving Rhaenys.

Corlys was not only emotionally distant from Rhaenys but also physically. Ned whilst being physically distant from Cat was supporting and protective and near her emotionally.

Also, Corlys did not press for Rhaenys claim because he thought Rhaenys capable, but because of what the fact that she was rejected as queen meant that his blood no longer would rule from the Iron throne, which is why he accepted very easily when Rhaenyra was promised to Laenor.

Also, the name is more important to him than blood. He prefers Rhaenyra’s children which he knows are not his grandchildren over his granddaughters because of the name they sport. Rhaenyra boys are a) boys and b) Velaryon by name, instead Laena’s girls are a) girls and b) Targaryen by name; thus Corlys defends the Strong boys because they carry the Velaryon name over the Targaryen girls who carry also Velaryon blood.

That’s misogynist and tells us that Corlys never wanted Rhaenys on the throne because he loved her and supported her and believed in her capabilities but because of the prestige of being the consort of the first ruling queen of the Iron throne and the fact that his Velaryon blood would rule.

He also, on the same route of thinking supported Rhaenyra mostly because this way he and Rhaenys reached a common ground (the Velaryon boys by name would marry the Velaryon/Targaryen girls by blood) and he would be satisfied beyond the fact that his son whom was homosexual (which he did neither understand nor accept) had been killed in mysterious circumstances and his widow married like the next day, also I don’t think Corlys ever actually liked the way his brother wanted his “throne”.

Also by supporting Rhaenyra and with the fact her boys were promised to his granddaughters he also managed to put back his blood and name into the line of the Iron throne.

So, imo Corlys is only a very ambitious and cunning, prideful man. And whilst that doesn’t make him the worst husband ever, it doesn’t even put him in any kind of league with Ned Stark who loved and raised the son of the man he possibly hated out of love for his sister, against the man he loved as a brother.

I would say, for him and Rhaenys a 4/10. Rhaenys deserved a Ned Stark, who defended both his “bastard son” by keeping his secret and his defenceless daughter for both of whom he swallowed both pride and honour.

So anyone wanting Corlys to be the new Ned and Corlys/Rhaenys to be the new NedCat…

As always thank you for the ask! Hope you an amazing day! All the love ~G.

ot4 - the counting paths triangles edition

we really did that.

honestly, that’s one of my favorite things we’ve plotted. it was complex without being insane, and it felt just as realistic as it was romantic. so that’s how i feel about it as a project. but in terms of the couples?

even with my preferences, and you know what those are, i feel like we did right by all of the characters, making four distinct romances worth getting invested in. for all of them, there are reasons why they should and shouldn’t be together—reasons why one set ultimately works out and the other doesn’t—and we didn’t sell ourselves short by buying into shitty drama or miscommunications. triangles are inherently dramatic and filled with tropes, yeah, but i feel like we really subverted the norm and created something unique.

olivia & alexander. best friends. lovers. confidantes with a bond that’s as unbreakable as their trust in each other. each has something the other needs. they bring out the best in each other, and keep each other inspired. they make each other better. he reminds her of her strength, but is her safe place when she needs one to fall apart in.

luke & olivia. sweethearts, plain and simple. a good fit that just wasn’t meant to be—though not for lack of trying on either part. he was what she needed at the time.

charlotte & logan. pure and genuine, love and friendship in equal measure. he brings out her very best self and reminds her that she isn’t the obstacles she comes up against. believes in her when she’s forgotten how to believe in herself.

will & charlotte. i love how gently they came together. as different as they are compatible. it was good while it lasted, but ultimately not what either of them needed in the end. maybe in another life.

🖤 / send me a ship and I'll give you my (brutally) honest opinion on it

Honestly, if you consider commissioning me I will be incredibly grateful! My family has fallen on hard times and we are tight on money, and the money you spend here wouldn’t just be impacting myself but the three other people I live will as well.
