#it’s tragic yet beautiful

[ventique18]

SPOILER

I haven't finished listening to the chapters but this family is so damn tragic holy shit.

Malenoire and Levan falling in love and eventually having an egg. Levan having to leave his wife and unhatched child because he was a believer of diplomacy and wanted peace with the other kingdom, but never returning even after years. His wife still believes, no matter how unlikely it is, that he will return, so Lilia tries hard to search for him so Malenoire wouldn't be sad anymore.

But then Malenoire eventually meets her untimely demise and leaves the unfortunate egg behind. This egg would then continue unhatched for hundreds of years, because there isn't any parent who could nurture it with love. Take note that a dragon egg only takes 2-3 years to hatch with constant love, but in Malleus' case he remains dormant for much, much longer.

He's literally been unloved even before he first lived.

It then occured to me, why couldn't have Maleficia helped Malleus hatch faster? She's still a parent, even if she didn't give birth to him herself. But then I realized... Maleficia lost her only daughter. She was probably incapable of showing unconditional love then. Nobody could blame her.

Which leads us to the biggest question in the story. Who was is that gave the egg unconditional parental love and finally helped it hatch?

This rough guy, whom both Malenoire and Levan trusted with all they were.

me when I realize how willing Alicent was to die for her son (she stood between him and a dragon. what was she meant to do? she could do nothing against a dragon. even if she shielded him from the flames, it wouldn't be enough to save him. she stood there, knowing if Rhaenys was set out to kill her son she would go with him. she stood there accepting that if her son died she would go with him. she would protect her baby with her last breath. she would go out holding his hand, head held high, bathed in fire because there was nothing she wouldn't do for her children):

#every time I think about them I cry #that whole episode is worth crying over #the whole scene was beautiful and tragic and heartbreaking #but the love she has for her son in that moment is just.... #there are no words #she was always less fond of dragons #bordering a fear of them #but that didnt stop her #she didnt even hesitate #better yet she ran to him #putting him behind her snd taking hold of his hand #she faced off to Meleys #that takes gaul #my women #she was Mother #mother was mothering #in such a tragic way #and I can't handle it #alicent hightower #aegon ii targaryen #aegon targaryen #queen alicent #pro team green #hotd #house of the dragon #second post on this scene cause I need everyone to know how much it means to me

[fairy-verse]

I've been curious about this for a while since I read you mentioned none of the firstborns are 'siblings' and left it up to our headcanons, essentially?

What would a relationship between the firstborn of Summer and the firstborn of Autumn look like? How would they have become mates? How would their personalities go together in a relationship?

There are such differences yet similarities, and I'm curious how a relationship between Dream (who is shown to usually stay in his Valley) would go with Nightlight (who i remember almost never leaves Nightmare's area)?

Please do feel free to disregard this ask if you see fit, thank you for making such a truly lovely au, it's always fun to backread again whenever I have the time. Thank you for sharing your au with us :D<3

Before Nightmare’s corruption, a relationship with Dream would have been pleasant and filled with gentle touches and soft poems made of song and dance. They would frolic on the Meadow of the Firstborn as they were free from worry and grief, flying either naked or with flowing silks that made them giggle sweetly. They are different, that is true, but their earliest days were slow-moving and filled with nothing but time and patience, so they slowly drifted closer and closer, until eventually they interlaced and became inseparable… Up till the fateful day of Nightmare’s corruption and the demise of his innocence.

Their relationship would have become gloomy and distant. Nightmare would appreciate the support and love Dream gave him, but his broken soul would no longer be able to fully take it in, at least not yet. He’s split apart, changed, covered in corruption as thick and sticky as tar that he’s not yet mastered full control over. He shoves Dream’s love away, and Dream is left in the growing dark of autumn’s new visage.

⋆˖⁺‧₊☽◯☾₊‧⁺˖⋆

Now, you specifically ask for Nightlight, so I will show you how him and Dream end up together and how this development will affect Nightmare.

⋆˖⁺‧₊☽◯☾₊‧⁺˖⋆

Dream might rarely leave his valley of summer, but at the arrival of Nightlight, he will quickly begin to make frequent visits to Nightmare’s underground nest. He’s beside himself with delight at the sight of the fragile fairy and he cannot help himself but to weep from joy, grief, and relief. He cannot help the fact that he reacts this way, nor can he truly be blamed for not thinking it all through properly. Nightlight holds the memories of Nightmare’s early days, so his love for Dream is as present and strong as back then, too.

Their embrace completes a puzzle left undone for centuries.

Nightmare is happy at their love for one another. He’s happy that Nightlight is loved in more ways than one, and he’s happy that Dream is smiling like that again. He’s happy with this outcome.

He is happy.

… Then why does his happiness sting in his sockets and hurt so badly in his throat?

Nightlight looks and acts the way Nightmare did before his corruption, so of course, Dream would be drawn to him. He is what Nightmare lost, the pleasant sight of colours of early autumn and the gentle breeze of a cooling wind not yet biting cold. Nightlight is sweet and lovely and pure, and he and Dream are so wonderful together. They’re beautiful.

And that is what hurts so badly.

Nightlight is Nightmare in a way, but he’s a past version of him, the second half of Nightmare’s soul that broke apart and died. Nightmare is what was left, what survived the cruelty done by the Big Folk, the harsher and darker part of autumn that could withstand the defilement brought upon him. Nightlight is the part of him that fit so well with Dream, the part of his autumn that still held onto summer and cherished it as much as summer valued its gentleness.

Nightmare isn’t that. He’s not someone who can be careless and free together with Dream anymore, he’s the wrong kind of autumn for Dream, and he’s as deceptive as half of the season he represents, the one giving false promises of a prolonged pause before the bitter winter cold’s arrival. As such, it’s easy to lie right to Dream’s face as the firstborn fairy of summer cradles his cheeks in remorse and pleading mercy for his sudden reaction at the sight of Nightlight.

Dream realises that he’s gone past Nightmare and straight for his lighter counterpart, and he’s remorseful and sorrowful as he begs for Nightmare’s forgiveness and gives away terrible promises that he’ll stay away if he’s hurt him too badly.

Nightmare loves Dream and it breaks him to see Dream so willing to cast himself down just because he was overcome with joy and love for the rebirth of someone that he’d lost so very long ago. Nightmare doesn’t ever want Dream to feel guilty for expressing his raw and wondrous emotions, so he lies. He lies and tells him that it’s okay. That he wants Dream and Nightlight to be together and that he’s moved on. And he doesn’t even stop to think about offering himself to Dream, too, because he doesn’t think Dream wants him like that anymore.

After all, Nightlight is made of the best parts of him, he’s everything that used to be good about him. Why would Dream want him as he is now… melancholic, sarcastic, stubborn, sullen, withdrawn…

If only he’d asked Dream he would have known that he’s not below Nightlight. He would have known that Dream wanted him, too. But now Dream believes that Nightmare isn’t interested, that he has indeed moved on; Nightmare is too good at lying so Dream doesn’t see the grief in his soul, and with how Nightmare’s grown to endure the pain from centuries of being without half of his soul, he’ll be able to endure the heartache from seeing Dream and Nightlight together.

He will endure it, no matter how much it stings and numbs him.

queen guinevere and vanessa redgrave....... the women that you are

#thought this was a good day to post this #guinevere is such a compelling character that's been reduced to two extreme sides of an spectrum a lot of times #she's either a femme fatale or an ingenue #or simply a love interest #and all of that is SAD and BORING #she was not only a wife. she was a queen #i particularly love how this movie portrays her. yes. she makes a bad decision and does things that may not be right. #yet she is not cruel or a bad person because of it. she's flawed. #nor she is a saint- one damned or too innocent to know better that's kept by the narrative as only that. she's flawed. #she's also a tragic hero. she's not limited by black or white. she has all these beautiful and violent colors!!! #she has the power to both ruin and save herself #and i love that. she can be really interesting when writers care about her as her own character and not only as a wife or a lover. #camelot #camelot movie #camelot (1967) #camelot 1967 #arthuriana #arthurian legend #queen guinevere #guinevere #vanessa redgrave #my edit

i think if the innovation of having your tits out for politics had been invented in c. martinus' time he couldve been elected consul easily the first time around. the crowd on the campus martius would simply have been astounded by the force of them

#(it hadn't yet because the book is set somewhat before cato comes onto the political scene in any major way) #howeverif he had been elected the first time around he may not have ever allied with the beautiful l. furius. he would know so fewer facts #about stoicism... how tragic.... #ficposting
