I swear that mother fucker gets a new design to 'em every time he's brought up... I MEAN- WHERE DID THE COAT COME FROM???!!
I am still surprised at the appearance of this Abalone, and how he seems to have a similar dynamic with oyster i mean- wow???
SO yeah, new, edited lore for (now) Nacre Cookie is that he is (still) the elder brother of Lord Oyster. A shining example of what his family is expecting him to be, a well-renowned merchant and anti-pirate war machine. Even going on to father his own house.
Lord Oyster is constantly being compared to him and is pressured to do just as well by their family. Which is why he sticks close to Abalone Cookie, hoping to get the ropes and become like his brother.
Nacre doesn't really much care for Abalone. Finding his open and unapologetic greed and brazen attitude amusing at best and annoying at worst. Openly mocking him in his usual passive-aggressive and posh demeanor that seems to fly RIGHT OVER Abalone's head sometimes.
And Abalone tries to avoid the older brother when he can. There's something in his eyes that spells danger whenever he sees him.
I've read quite a few fics where some bigot decides to ruin Miles' day and Hobie comes to the rescue, which is all good and fine I suppose
But consider: Miles just looking for an excuse to punch a homophobe in the face and Hobie having to remind him that he doesn't wanna get arrested because then he'll have to deal with dear ol' dad giving him The Look when he goes to collect Miles from jail
But later they both knock in the bastard's teeth in as Spider-Men
If you had the chance to change something about the dance of the dragons (TV show or book), what would it be? For example, how a character dies, which team a house is on,or an entire character personally. How would you change it to make the story better, in your opinion?♥️🖤💙💚
Well, I'd mainly address my pet peeves:
relay the legal arguments for succession in a clearer way, make sense between what is a valid legal argument and what is personal ambition (my entire blog is full of this complaint);
a fairer distribution of allies;
military strategies and battles that make more sense: no self-raising zombie Riverlands army, Aemond's Riverlands storyline, the Lady Sam problem etc.
Other than that, as much as my reptile brain wants Aegon II to rule, I think the Aegon III + Jaehaera ending is a pretty fair way to conclude the conflict. I would cut the Daenaera storyline, which I find unnecessarily problematic, and balance out the regents and the new court between the greens and the blacks.
Also, honestly, Tyland and Alicent don't need to die because of Westerosi COVID, that's too much of a heavy-handed way to wipe the slate clean for my tastes. How about make them the new stand-in parents for the child monarchs.
Kaeya: Oh but you're such a prep! I'm sure you've never done any such debauchery.
Albedo: I assure you I have, Mr Alberich.
Kaeya: Come on then, tell me the most risque thing you've done.
Albedo: Well, this one time I [censored] while this dude [censured] at the same time. But there's also the one time I [censored] a [censored] into someone's [censored] for three hours straight.
Kaeya *the worst thing he's done is make out with a guy once when he was drunk*: You're joking... Right?
Yall remember how often in gilmore girls it’s pointed out how like, entrancing and quirky / impressive that they eat so much, and such unhealthy food, but it’s only framed that way bc they’re doing that WHILE being extremely thin
I kinda find it weird people don't describe what it physically feels like to have depression. Me personally I don't notice the mental effect of it as often (most likely because it's more normal for me, maybe because I'm on meds), I more notice and remember the physical effect of feeling... heavy. Like, you know how a big depression thing is not being able to get out of bed? For me, that's why. I just physically cannot get up. My body feels heavy. I usually describe it like feeling like a weighted blanket in a bad way- heavy, hard to move, stuff like that. Even if I really wanna move, I just... can't. It's hard to explain.
So uhh. If you're writing depression, try to not JUST get the "lack of will to live" thing, try to get the "feeling like you are weighed down by a thousand sandbags and can't move" thing.
What the fuck is up with parents controlling their kids' hair. That's weird. I immediately don't like parents who say their kids can't get haircuts or can only get certain ones.
Small rant, I really need xenophobic Americans to tone it down, because, baby, have you seen your country? Things are not going well, instead of thinking it's a paradise that people are jealous of, how about you open your eyes to the actual situation?
