With your Bonpyre-Monsoon siblings headcanon all I can imagine is they're both adopted and whenever they got into an argument they'd just yell "YOU'RE ADOPTED" at each other (All dumb jokes aside I love the TTCC art and your hc-keep it up!)

Oh my fucking god, I’m seeing that “Mary I legalised homosexuality” myth going around Instagram again.
For the last god damn time: Mary was not tolerant of homosexuality. She repealed the Buggery Act of 1533 because before 1533, cases of homosexuality used to be handled by ecclesiastical courts, not temporal ones. As part of her Counter-Reformation efforts, Mary wanted to restore power and authority to these ecclesiastical courts by repealing a number of Acts which made formally spiritual crimes secular, including this one. She was not a secret ally and she certainly didn’t legalise it, that claim is galling.
I can’t think of something more insulting to the history of LGBTQ+ people than claiming that gay men were somehow safe under the rule of a staunchly Catholic monarch.

So let me get this straight.
The Supreme Court of the United States just struck down anti-discrimination laws based on a case that was entirely theoretical.
Yes. You heard that right.
This ruling will affect all states, because it is a federal law. A web designer decided that in theory if she was asked to do same-sex weddings she wanted to be able to say no. The case was theoretical.
The ruling says that, essentially, anti-discrimination laws are a violation of 1st amendment rights. This will affect more than just queer people. This will harm every person that could possibly be harmed.

something something i need to write a longer post about honey's 'princess complex' that i make jabs at all the time because she absolutely does enjoy being pampered / treated like a princess by individuals, when people are choosing to do it, but she's completely disinterested in that kind of spoiling if it comes from a sense of obligation; or, indeed, subjugation.
...which has extra layers to it considering in a not-insignificant number of her iterations, (including her 'default'/'canon' setting), honey essentially... is royalty. her mother, adaline, is an archfey or similar relevant equivalent. hell, honey might even inherit/occupy that mantle, depending. (she has the power, potential, and form, regardless). but she would have very, very little interest in actually occupying that role, and whatever fanfare it brought with it.
to say the very least: freedom and agency are core elements of her character. they're the concepts which most thoroughly guide her moral / ethical compass at any given moment. she is, perhaps a bit selfishly, not only totally disinterested in the burden of responsibility which comes with actual 'royal' status, but also feels queasy at the thought of anyone treating her specially because of some birthright.
you should be treating her like a special, pretty pretty princess because she is pretty and fun and a 100% certified total babe, who is delicate and adorable and worthy of your pampering — not because her class, status, or title demands it. and only if you want to. (which you should want to. look at her. I certainly would want to)

interesting that grabalba is a viscountess and not a princess. she's the daughter of the goblin king. she's important enough for a political marriage. but her title of nobility is several rungs down the ladder from what you would expect.

lily : how does your muse view their mother ?
BOTANICAL HEADCANONS / @wcrriorhearts
in rhaenyra's eyes, aemma was everything. she was perfect. she was this kind, gentle often weary presence who always had a nice word to say to everyone. she was a good queen, a good mother, and everything rhaenyra ever wanted to emulate with her own children. and she never seemed to hold it against her that her only surviving child was a daughter, and that in the eyes of some she ? didn't do her duty to her husband. that she failed him in not giving him a healthy son. and she was so ? grateful for that once she grew old enough for the societal importance of a son to really weigh on her. she was an eight year old child when aemma died. aemma's experiences and aemma's pain and losses colored much of how rhaenyra viewed her position, and how she viewed motherhood before and after she was one.
she thinks that her life was ? tragic. absolutely tragic. and the fact she was made heir only after aemma died is something so entirely frustrating to her those early years because if she had been worthy enough to be named heir then, why couldn't he have named her so before. aemma gave her entire life to the service of giving viserys an heir and a worthy successor and once she became that, she was going to make sure that she did, even if she wasn't a son. she was going to fight for it, and push herself consistently and constantly and go above and beyond what would've been expected of a male heir, so she would be worthy enough that it didn't matter that she wasn't a boy, that she'd earned her place. so it didn't matter she had three brothers who COULD take her place. that she'd made her mother's life and made her memory something that would be memorable in an altogether different way - that it wouldn't matter she didn't give the crown another king, that she would be the mother of the first ruling queen, that her memory would be more then just a footnote in westerosi history .
it solidifies a lot of her determination and why once she's given her position, she clings to it. because she's been around politics her entire life up to that point but she's never thought to want the throne because the assumption was always; she would have a brother to take it. and if she never had a brother, it was going to go to daemon. the memory of aemma and her kindness, her compassion, it gives her a lot of strength, and comfort as the years go on. and she modeled a lot of what she viewed as the idealized version of motherhood off of her own mother. she's the strongest woman that she's ever ? known. and she honors her memory even further by placing the arryn symbol on her banners once the dance breaks out. aemma was ? her motivation before she'd had children, a comfort when everything got to be too much to bear to pick herself up and keep going and keep fighting for her place at court.
her fear of pregnancy, and her fear of childbirth stems almost wholly from what she watched aemma experience. from what she'd heard of daella, and alyssa. and like during her pregnancy with jacaerys she ? her anxiety was mounting with the passing of every moon because she knew that ? even if he was born healthy, something could happen in the cradle. and she would be expected to try again, and that was a thing that was unbearable for her to think about. there was also the fear that he would be born a girl to contend with; that she would be placing her burdens on an innocent baby, and with the level of scrutiny and sexism she'd already faced from 111AC on, that alone was ? she personally ? would have very much been willing to leave her throne and titles to a daughter. but she also knew what she faced would become so much worse if it looked like absolute primogeniture was going to become precedent without any legal backing.

To whom it may concern, This is a letter sent out to those who have been drafted into my army. Anyone who fails to comply will be captured, trialed, and executed by the orders of her royal majesty, the Queen of Hearts. You have exactly a week to respond back before you are given the title of traitorous scum. -QoH
@ttbtv2queenofhearts
Well. Not even a hello or a pleased to meet you to start. You, my dear queen, are certainly violating the laws of both courtesy and, more relevantly, domain. I am not a citizen of your kingdom, and I have no intent to become one. I wish you good luck with the war effort, but if you desire my help you will have to send a diplomat to my palace to negotiate an allegiance. And with the way you've started off this relationship, you'd better make it a good diplomat.
