I have very normal feelings about a situation where Toshiro visits Melini after a long while. Laios has established himself as king, although he still has much to improve on. Toshiro carries on the family mantle, but that isn't relevant now; he's on a break, seeing friends he hasn't seen since their last chaotic adventure. Laios waits to greet him at the docks when he arrives. Toshiro feels his heart quicken, though this is very quickly brushed off. Who wouldn't feel excited when meeting a companion after so long? He runs down to the docks—he forgets himself—He runs down the docks, ecstatic.
Laios greets him with a handshake. It's... much too formal. Diplomatic. The attitude befitting a king, not a friend. Toshiro forgets himself. He greets Laios with the handshake he's extended, yes, but he feels weird about it.
As Laios walks ahead of him, he is aided by his trusted advisor, who is bickering with him while telling him what to do. Laios is comfortable, with him. Toshiro is an outsider; he forgets himself.

I hateeee how asoiaf has just become the "incest books lol" to so many people. what a dumb and reductive way to look at a series that has so much more like. of all the things you could say are the central themes of asoiaf incest in not one of them lmao.(yes obviously it's present, but not nearly as much as people make it out to be)
And this isn't about people who havent read it and are just judging from the outside bc who gives a shit about them.
But I see this mostly from fans and its just??? what the fuck did you read/watch lmao. I mean even hotd which centers around thee incest family isnt about the incest and you'd have to have negative media literacy to think it is.
Also it's fucking insane how being uncomfortable with incest shipping gets you ridiculed in this fandom lmao.
like I'm not here to be the morality police ship whatever the fuck you want idc. but dont be surprised when it makes people uncomfortable???
"ummm if you dont like incest why are you reading the incest books/watching the incest show??? weirdo" I dont fucking know man maybe all the other 348593 interesting things it's about. just a guess.
And these are the same people who go on about "well just bc you write something fucked up doest mean you agree with it" which. yes! true!! then why do you uncritically endorse targ incest blood purity 😭 do you think maybe that's one of the things grrm wrote that he doesnt agree with?
of course not, hotd is a cautionary tale about the dangers of not doing incest and what happens when you let your pure valyrian blood be contaminated by gross peasant genes from outside your family ^_^ obviously ^_^
and anyone who's not into your incest ships is a bigot <3
"but it's normal in their world!1!11!!!" no its not lol. and even if it was. marrying children is also normal in their world what's your point

personally i dont think karen using ziggs correct pronouns is like proof the chasitys r like so awesome and chill abt trans ppl like . legit feel like they arent like everyones entitled to their opinions on it yk ofc but imo it kinda takes away from the commentary of the harm of fundamentalist xtian views esp when they r canonically homophobic ones and ones clearly based in like. gender roles to act like transphobia isnt part of those harmful views yk but like i do have my own takes on those lines in hatchet town being. number 1 the kindaa boring one lol is that the songs in the show are non diagetic yk so its kinda like when ur telling a story abt ur friend whos nonbinary and like their mom or whoever is transphobic or theyre not out to her nd u have to mention smth their mom said abt them in the story but its not at all relevant to the story tht theyre closeted to her or she doenst respect their identity and like regardless u dont wanna deadname nd misgender ur friend so ur gonna say it like she was using the right name and pronouns assuming ur talking to someone theyre out to right. what im saying is the meta narrative (and also team starkid bc i suspect the real not in universe reason is they didnt wanna misgender both the character and their actor whos actually non binary which is like rly valid nd fair yk like esp in the instance of the simple hatchet town cameo irrelevent to any other hypothetical commentary i think itd feel less like an actual commentary on transphobia and more like. just pointless and somewhat transphobic in an of itself yk) is ziggs friend in this analogy and its not going misgender them even if it is repeating something karen said thank you very much ! and number 2 the less boring one is that ziggs nonbinary swag is so powerful tht the transphobes of hatchetfield dont know how to misgender them so theyre forced to respect their identity bc they dont know how to disrespect it lol

Continuing my tradition of creating women who are maybe a little bit insane ❤️
Was thinking she and Dan meet at dismemberfest n they start to get along cuz. They both love horror and she seems to know so many obscure facts and exactly how realistic all the kills are! They hit it off great, go to see a horror movie together, go back to her house, she tries to kill him... in the end she's arrested, with one less working eye while Dan just barely escapes with his life.
Also have this little Chris from my concept sketches that's a whole ass mood.

(wanted to try converting one of my ocs to a follower, using this picrew too... let's go)
Eos
Eos is a Grail Follower. She seems to be artistic and motherly but there is something fiercely hungry in her expressive gaze.
Eos, an acquaintance ''While her eery paintings may attract unwanted attention here and there, none seem to be brave enough to confront this mysterious painter. Not when her arms embrace all with intoxicating compassion, lingering long after she's gone like the wind.''
Eos, a believer ''Eos watches like a lioness protecting her cubs. It is incredibly hard not to believe in her sincerity when she says my cause is hers now.''
Eos, a disciple ''Even when she takes what she wants she does so with a delicate passion, how could anyone resist being a part of that, what is love if not consumption?''
Eos, a Cyprian ''No man dead or alive can stop the breaking dawn. Eos comes down as unstoppable as the first rays of the Sun bursting through the darkness, and just as beautiful."
Rival ''Eos pulls away with the demeanor of a mother bitterly disappointed, getting ready to devour the inadequate cub, just so others may thrive.''
Prisoner ''Eos lounges as if she herself decided to retreat. Her eyes no longer hold compassion, but she watches, always.''
ROMANCE
“If I'm thinking of beginning a dalliance, then really, this is the place. If I and my companion share the same sensibilities.„
~ Invitation description
“ Eos smiles and the world seems a little brighter, she holds my hand in her noticeably warm palms, 'Finally,' she says, 'You took your time.' „
~ Followup description
“ Eos follows me obediently as if she can never get enough, she paints me pictures each more delirious than the other, and reverently holds my face with fingers covered in paint, when she kisses my breath away I can't tell who's worshipping whom.''
~ Success description
“ I feel livelier than ever every time I embrace Eos and her heart beats within my chest with love and passion, all-consuming. Intoxicating. I need to get under her skin, be crushed in her jaws. „
~ Season description
Ever After
“ For a long time Eos is content to spoil me, her hands gentle on my skin, always, my heart full and bright, burning like a newborn star. Her absence wounds me unexpectedly in the midst of this dream when she disappears to work on her grand plan — on our plan, and after an eternity Eos shows up flush with pleasure, gently stroking her swollen belly. 'Everything,' she says 'everything I do, I do for you.' She burns and shimmers, so alive the very air trembles around us. And when I hold her gaze, resembling one of a well-fed lioness, I know we shall be victorious. We won. [This might be considered a victory. But the House is no place for lovers.] „
