I'm back to get my kink!teez fix on 😝😝

That was fully pun intended b/c here's to all you Mingi Stan's out here.

Mingi is 95% submissive, perfect epitome of a pillow princess. Now hold on because I know you Mingi Stan's like to tussle.

The amount of TikTok's I've seen where they're like 'Mingi can't be a sub, he's too tall'.

But that would be one of his biggest fantasies though, he would love a partner that's shorter & tinier than him & is able to overempower him & make the rules.

He has an 8th house stellium so this man is quite seggsual, probably one of the biggest fbois in Ateez. I've seen TikTok's where they rank Ateez members that would have the highest amount of 'bitches' & Mingi is always at the top & they're perfectly right.

Hongjoong is always at the bottom which surprises me 😂😂

His 8th House stellium plus his Scorpio Mars heavily makes him an 🍑 man & would enjoy a lot of things to do with the 🍑. What you imagine is totally up to you. Both giving & receiving.

However his Cancer moon in the 7th house would decrease that k&nky energy so he would actually be quite vanilla with a heavy emphasis on power play.

His Virgo Venus/Cancer Moon = huge interest in mommy/mistress play. If he's into women, he's going to love a partner that would 'baby' him & that he can see as a 'mother' figure in some way.

His Mars Aspects means this man literally has BDE. I mean, are we truly surprised?

His Venus & Mars placements are both in a Gemini degree & pop quiz! Where does Gemini rule in the body?

That's right, the mouth. So that tongue technology is real plus Gemini rules the hands! And as a matter of fact, Mingi's hands are bigger than Yunho's and he has longer fingers than Yunho so he would have a special set of skills with his hands.

Huge voice k$nk, his partner has to have a nice voice that arouses him both mentally & seggsually. His mercury trine Pluto means he likes the dirty talk to be absolutely filthy, the more feral the better.

Straddle him & whisper in his ear about all the d&rty things you want to do to him & he will 🤯, the more vulgar, the more he'll love it.

His Venus is in retrograde which means he would really struggle to vocalise & communicate his needs which is why he needs a partner to be more emotionally open & more of a leader in the relationship. It's why the friendship with Yunho works so well because if you notice the power dynamics with Yungi, Yunho is the one that initiates everything & then Mingi will follow him. He needs a partner that constantly validates him & gives him permission to be himself.

If he's into women, he likes really elegant women, almost that 'cottagecore' vibes. He values tradition & would like a partner that's really domestic & would want to have children in the future. He would also love a plus-size/curvy partner, that theory is 100% correct.

Huge Breeding k&nk, huge seggs drive too, can go long rounds with minimal breaks in between.

He has a lot of mercury-mars-pluto aspects which means he would sound absolutely amazing in the 🛌. A lot of moans, groans & whimpers.

Basically, he wants a partner that's a 'queen on the streets but a freak in the sheets.'

You're welcome.

wait okay so i have to share this with everyone because i'm sure i have some mingi biases out there and let's be real.... mingi is a prime bias wrecker for me BUT i read him pretty differently???

like i agree that he can be subbier, but i've always read him as a true switch. he's unbothered and wants to just see what's what, if his partner wants to take the lead, then by all means. i also always view him as quieter, less verbal direction, but that might be playing into what you're saying about him receiving dirty talk.... interesting....

also yes, obviously bde. we all know.

OUAT Thoughts Pt.5--Episode 12

I have watched through S1E13; spoilers DNI. Also, spoiler warning for those further behind than I am.

So, @abovethemists, I hope this review satisfies your curiosity, I do my best! Your slightly ominous reply had me really anticipating this episode, and I must say I was not disappointed.

—First of all, how many times can I say “sexy” in one post?

—Rumplestiltskin’s saunter is just heavenly. I know I’ve already devoted entirely too much time to agonizing over the beauty of his body language, but that is absolutely the walk of a man who knows he owns whatever room he’s in. Also, that saunter just looks so gosh-darn good on him.

—Bit weird of Rump to always be spinning his web of deals when he could probably just smite everybody. Maybe he just thinks this is more fun? (It is, btw.)

—I love his clothes. Other characters’ costumes, particularly in the fairytale world, are generally mid-tier, with an occasional foray into either excellence or disgusting, but Rump’s clothes are always gorgeous. The leather pants, not everyone could pull off (but he does, trust me). The vests, whether they’re leather, crocodiley, and/or embroidered, have outstanding collars and cuts. Actually, the vests are the highlight of Rump’s wardrobe. And those satiny-type blouses are exactly the kind of blouse I dream of wearing.

—Mr. Gold looks great wearing sunglasses. I love the Rump content; that and coffee power my life at this point, but Mr. Gold has got it going too. So I guess my motivation in life at the moment is about 67% Rumplestiltskin, 12% coffee, and 21% Mr. Gold.

—Mr. Gold’s house is gorgeous. I would love to live there. The stained glass, the green-and-salmon paint on the outside…it’s just exquisite.

—Okay, so we got to see more of Mr. Gold’s mean streak in this episode, which to be honest is the main draw for me. Rump gets to be cutthroat all the time, but this is the first time Mr. Gold has really been ruthless.

—Actually, he’s a bit frightening. I think “menacing” describes him best; he’s surely more subtle than Rump—most of the time—but he’s still scary. I would not double-cross that man.

—Mr. Gold using his cane as a weapon was pretty cool.

—Rump’s house in the fairytale world is even more gorgeous than his “real” world house. I mean, it’s on a snowy mountain, and it’s huge, and very elegantly-decorated. The rugs are beautiful, and I love the sheer size of the rooms. And his furniture, what we’ve seen of it, is highly tasteful. Oh, and the curtains are stunning.

—I have no choice but to stan Belle, as I, too, would fall in love with Rump.

—I appreciate that we’re getting to see a little bit more of Rump and the Evil Queen’s deal in the fairytale world showing through. Although, if all he has to do is say “please” and she does whatever he likes, he could get so much more than he’s currently using that for.

—I’m sorry, but I just can’t take the Evil Queen seriously when Rump is in the same room or vicinity. He’s so much more powerful, and frankly more clever.

—While Mr. Gold became a bit more vicious, Rump got some new feelings. I love a good anguish-of-love storyline (even if I’m not entirely convinced yet that I like the romance angle for Rump). Him being the Beast in Belle’s story is pretty fine, though. I didn’t see that one coming.

—Speaking of pretty fine….

—Just kidding! To hear me talk, you’d think nothing but Rump happened in episode 12 (though he was the most important part) but I’m very happy for Ashley and her guy. They deserve to get married and have their happily-ever-after.

—I have nearly given up on remembering which spelling of Shawn/Sean/Shaun, or if that’s even his name in the “real” world.

—Almost forgot—what the heck is up with the Evil Queen locking Belle in the hospital basement?!! That’s insanely creepy!

—At least now I know for sure that both Mr. Gold and the Evil Queen are aware of who they really are.

—Rump covering all of the mirrors in his house so the Evil Queen can’t spy on him is top-tier brain usage. Although, one might wonder why he keeps mirrors in his house at all.

—Referring to my earlier side note, I have rather complicated feelings on romance being part of Rump’s motivation. On one hand, romance is a wildly cliche motivator for villains. Now, of course I have to acknowledge at this point that I have put Rump on a pretty high pedestal, but he deserves to be there. He’s much better-written, charismatic, and convincing than most villains I’ve seen. However, I’m pleased that romance is not what started him on his villainous path; in fact, having it be a secondary motivator is a somewhat fresh take on the cliche. I also have to add that it adds another dimension to his character, and that having his anger renewed at a point I’m assuming is years after his original turn to villainy is a clever idea. The problem is that when a love story enters the chat, it usually takes over, for any variety of character. If Rump escapes without being depicted as little more than a lovesick weakling, I predict that I will be, in the end, most pleased with the turn his backstory has taken.

RPers Sought via Discord

I am seeking canon x canon ships for fandoms via discord. This will be a 1x1 situation. I am happy to double! For my ships, please reach out for information as many are crack/unusual. I do tend to stick to MxF romances but if we're doubling up and one pair is MxF, I'm open to adding a same-sex pair. When I double, I use a word counter to make sure posts are equal. I don't require this of my partners as long as they look similar in effort. Should favoritism begin to appear, I'll express concerns but if it happens often, I'm going to end the RP.

My posts tend to be several paragraphs (I guess the term might be novella or advanced literate) in third person, past tense. When on Discord, it's not unusual to take a few messages to complete my post but I do indicate with a (c or cont) if it's continued and end with an (end) to indicate that it's all complete. Due to post sizes being lengthy, I tend to give about 2-3 posts a week. Often more but I would say that's a pace I'm happy with getting from a partner. We all have lives. I'm not going to hound anyone to post unless it's been like, a month. People get busy or bored. It happens. That said, I love a lively OOC where we get to know one another and converse freely even if posts come at a slower pace. I'd rather hear about disinterest and work to fix it, than have resentment or complacency build behind the scenes.

NSFW stuff is bound to happen within moderation and with proper development. My RPs are very gradual, slow burn. I'm in this for the long haul and I expect my partner to be as well. Communication ensures longevity and interest.

My discord: MK Meringue }#0169

When messaging me, please tell me where you found my username and what you're interested in discussing, otherwise odds are I won't reply. Nothing more strange than just getting a 'hi' from a stranger online. Again, my ships are a little off-beat so if we chat and find we're not looking for the same thing, no harm. It never hurts to ask.

Looking for RPers for the following fandoms:

Alice in Borderland

I can write as An, Kuina, Arisu, Usagi. I'm looking for a Chishiya or Arisu. As a note, I am happy to drop other canons (like from Yu Yu Hakusho for example) into this universe if that is of interest.

The Queen's Gambit

I can write as Beth, Jolene, Harry, Townes. I'm looking for a Benny or Harry. A crossover with Godless could be fun.

Fire Emblem Three Houses

I can write as Hilda, Flayn, Yuri, Hapi, Dimitri, Annette, Hubert. I'm looking for a Seteth, Claude, Hubert, Linhardt, Lorenz or Edelgard. Adding Fates characters might be fun here.

Gravity Falls

I can write as Mabel, Stan, Candy, Tambry, Gideon. I'm looking for a Ford, Dipper, Wendy. I DO NOT WRITE DIPCIFICA! Crossover with SVTFOE or Amphibia possible.

Naruto

I can write as Sakura, Ino, Hinata, Sasuke, Naruto. I'm looking for a Shikamaru, Ino or Temari.

Game of Thrones

I can write as Sansa, Arya, Cat, Theon, Tyrion. I'm looking for a Joffrey, Ned, Theon or Jon.

#another war is going on and by the way the world the car here in Florida is Giant and these assholes are all over there and they're lieutenants and sergeants and corporals and all died some generals and it is a massive fight and higher ups too that's who's there and it's very evil and Al Pacino's movie is about this and drugs and they need the bombs to try and get rid of people and there's a bunch of movies that begins besides when the American pilot or something with Tom Cruise and she says pretty good and then top guns all that stuff starts because of the vaydor. And BG says that his prototype is stuck in Miami and there after it and he says it's in his area but he says it's on the outskirts in a vault storage facility and the Mac b****** are after it s*** and that was Sarah she says she's kind of job as Queen of the Damned she says no it says Queen of the morlok. Same difference and she says yes but I'm going over there and see you later and yeah I can go with you stupid s*** what does money look like do you even know use your credit card so she's looking around going I wouldn't go with you but Jesus Christ and she's looking around okay that makes sense and she says it and it's stupid. And it's going on now there's a lot of fighting and mack Daddy says it. There's a huge huge fight over this car now it is called Phasma I was supposedly spelled a little different. There's a couple more battles but this these two cars the originals are fought hard because the max wanted as a feather in their cap and motivator and I get some the empire is having a son flip him off.

#so there's another war too and it is over the housing situation in the neighborhood there are people that want him to move out of there and there are people that want him to move into their place one such person is Mack Daddy and it started a controversy between Stan and Mac and he's fighting other people but really Stan is taking a pounding and it's a weaker player to begin with and Matt has been doing it for some time now this infight is important it's happening with the other more luck as well and it's weakening them severely there's a lot of people who can't stand these people already and the infight is bothering the living crap out of them and it is obvious that it's happening you can see Trump versus bja is huge and spend huge but there's other fights breaking out within their own plans over really ridiculous stuff and Timmy Doyle started a huge one over cars they're forced to face the empire though and they're going to lose but we don't want them to lose the vehicles right now this loss from fighting the empire with those two vehicles is going to be probably about three or four percent today of the remaining warlock population dropping them down to 60% of what they were a year ago or a really four or five months ago and they're not that big four or five months ago they were about 45% of what they were last year and they're almost full size at that point but they're not now I'm so it almost cut in half again so we're going to publish

Because I never shut up about OrangeJuiceVerse, here’s a lil flashback excerpt from my most recent Kenny centric oneshot,

Reckless By Nature

Annnnndddd there was that trademark McCormick luck. The mattress slid down only a handful of steps before it was painfully obvious that the staircase wasn’t quite wide enough to accommodate a queen sized, the sides catching on the wood and launching the rider forward and to the right. Headfirst into the flimsy wall.

“OHMYGOD KENNY!”

Kenny groaned and freed himself, blinking the stars from his eyes. Fortunately he wasn’t dead, but there was a new dent in the wall a matching lump rising at his crown. He heard the shower shut off in the distance, as well as the firm voice of his girl rising from the first floor.

“Ken, that noise better not’ve been what I think it was, mister!”

Stan was at his side before Marj was, brushing back his shaggy hair and wincing in sympathy at the hiss the blond let out, examining his pupils. “Shit, dude. Fuck, I should’ve figured the stairs were too steep and narrow for this shit. Okay, are you dizzy or nauseous? Can you count backwards from ten for me?”

As much as the guys could all agree that Kyle was the mom of the gang, Stan was DOUBTLESSLY the overprotective dad. Once you got past the penchant for indulging in recklessness, that is.

“I’m good, I’m good, man. I shoulda thought of that too. I got a rock hard skull.”

“More like you have ROCKS for brains.” A hastily dressed, still wet haired Kyle perched on the stairs as Marj pulled her (dumbass) boyfriend into her strong arms. “Kenny, you bastard, what the fuck were you thinking?” Worried Kyle was a force to be reckoned with. “Let me look at you. Jesus, I thought we could at LEAST make it through the first week in this house without someone needing a hospital.”

Marj was upset. He could feel it.

“Buttercup, I’m fine. No one needs a hospital, I promise.”

She sniffled. “Are ya sure?”

“I’m sure.”

“Oh JESUS CHRIST!!” Oh, great. Cartman had emerged from his cave. “Did I just walk into a stairwell orgy?”

“Fuck off, Cartman! I’m not in the mood for you.” Kyle gently felt the vertebrae in Kenny’s neck, fully in med student mode, while Cartman just rolled his eyes.

“Dear god, Fun Size, were you trying to make Marj a widow fresh outa high school?”

As if that was possible. “No, fatboy, I was just tryna have a little fun with my dude Staniel here.

Kyle looked up with a gasp after determining that Kenny did not, in fact, have a fatal head injury. “Dude, you were IN ON THIS?!?”

“Baby, don’t get-“

“Both of you!” The rare yelling voice of Marjorine Stotch was nothing to brush aside. “Both of you are in trouble. With ME. Ken, darlin’, we’re gonna get some ice on that hard head of yours, and I’ll get all upset at you when I’m sure you’re okay. Stanley, you go on, now. Ya know how much Kyle worries about all of us.”

“Not Fatass.”

“Fuck you, Kahl. Your recycled dildo and his weirdo wingman pulled me out of a Klance slowburn.”

“WHO the FUCK is reading Voltron fanfiction in 2023?!”

“Some of us are dedicated.”

Kyle groaned. “I hate you, like, all the way.” He peered at Kenny’s eyes again, checking for abnormalities. “Sure you’re fine?”

“I swear, Ky. Don’t eviscerate Stan. It was my idea. The Widowmakers just had it out for me.”

Marj gently pulled him up. “Aw, geez, Ken, don’t start callin’ em that.”

“Too late.”

#I just love a group dynamic #and a character study #south park #au #the main five #Kenny’s such an interesting character I CANNOT #if anyone cares #OrangeJuiceVerse #my shit #ao3 link #ao3 #ao3 shit #my writing #the return of The Widowmakers

Loungewear : BTS reactions : plus size reader

Ok so in this house we stan a muumuu. A nightgown, a kaftan/caftan, house dress. We stan a silk nightie or a satin robe or a frilly gown . We stan it because by God, we deserve to wear whatever the hell we want. We stan it and we respect it. It is the epitome of comfort and you better act like you know.

Anyway, this is the members reactions to your loungewear-ish stuff. Enjoy.

Warning: hell idk. If you under eighteen, be gone. Sorry bby. This page ain't for you. Anyway back to warnings. Idk maybe language, suggestive themes. Shit idk. Stay if you grown and want but if not, just keep on scrolling.

❤

Jin: Night gowns

Well, super hyung over here is notorious for his not give a fucks. So I don't think he'd care much initially. He'd just want you to be comfy around him. However, he does have some favorites. And also thinks you look real sweet in the night gowns. The satin and silks for sure. Thinks the floor length ones make you look like a queen and he loves it. Also loves the ones with beautiful florals printed on them.

Yoongi: silk robes

Look here. This man stans you on the daily, ok? You could wear a garbage bag and he'd be down. He just don't care. That being said. When you come up out the shower with that silk robe. On God, that does him in. He knows damn well you ain't wearing nothing underneath and when you're over there rubbing lotion on your legs, he's about to pass out.

Hoseok: caftan/kaftan

He likes the fun patterns and colors. He also loves that he knows that when you come to bed in that, you're not wearing anything else.

Namjoon: big tshirt

Not limited to bedtime, he loves when you wear a big tshirt and nothing else but cute cotton panties underneath. He loves it on the days where you decide to do some housework and just don't change. Hot.

Jimin: pajama sets

He thinks you're cute lil jammies are the most precious thing in the world. Like how adorable. He loves seeing you at the sink, brushing your teeth in the character pajamas and fuzzy slippers.

Taehyung: vintage robes

A complete sucker for the aesthetic, Taehyung loves that sheer and faux feather vintage robe you have. It just looks so glamorous. He has so many pictures of you doing the most mundane things while wearing that robe. He just thinks you look so wonderful.

Jungkook: animal print

Anything and everything animal print. He just loves the pattern on you really. He thinks your little leopard print pj set is cute. He thinks the tiger print kaftan is cool. But the silk nighties are probably his favorite because they are super sexy.

💛💛💛💛💛💛

The Easiest Way to a Man's Heart PT.2

Hal had lost consciousness somewhere before the final exit. There were moments of him mumbling nonsense, but not lucidity. Snake made calls to some allies and someone answered. A doctor had come to their safe house. Someone from the UN. Being recognized by them allowed them some supplies and minute funding but that wasn’t as important as what Hal himself attributed to their life. Snake was kicked out of the room to give The doctor room to work. He was useless in the situation, which almost spiraled into helplessness. Snake, David in this moment, felt rage fight against the emotion.

Snake pulled out one of his cigarettes, lighting it before taking a long drag. His nerves numbed and his brain settled. His brain started to form a plan. The doctor was working on Hal on his bed. That bed will probably need sheets. Hal will need fluids. He can grab a bottle of water and spare sheets. He grabbed the bloodied shirt and pulled the flash drive out of it, making a mental note to burn the shirt later. As well as the sheets.

Dave went to walk towards where the supplies were when the door to Hal’s room opened and the doctor stepped out. The older man glared at the cigarette between Dave’s lips. Dave said nothing, glaring back. He won that little dispute. The doctor looked away, sighing and handing Dave medication.

“He has a minor infection. No damage to internal organs but the cut was very nasty. It will take six weeks for his body to fully recover. Give him three of these a day, followed by a probiotic an hour later.” The doctor handed him another bottle. “And this for pain, if his muscles clench because of extreme pain, it will make it worse.” A third bottle. Each medication had the chemical formula of the medicine with a medical description underneath it. Helpful. “He’s gaining lucidity at the moment. Go see him, I’ll see myself out.”

Dave didn’t wait for the doctor to finish before he stepped into their shared room. The room had two queen-sized beds separated by a nightstand with a lamp, a bathroom with a tub and shower. Hal looked pale, with his glasses, still smudged with blood, on the nightstand. He was on the left side of the bed, able to reach the glasses if he needed to. There was a tv positioned on the dresser opposite of the beds and next to the door. The windows had a screen on them, blocking out most of the light. The room smelled like antiseptic and dust from the walls. Hal was breathing evenly. Dave sat next to Hal, which quickly shifted into Dave lying down next to Hal watching the rise and fall of his chest. The heat from a minor fever radiated from Hal. Snake put out the cigarette in a portable ashtray and leaned ran his thumb against Hal’s cheekbone. His rough thumb bumped along Hal’s five o’clock shadow.

Hal gasped. Snake leaned over Hal to put the medications and ashtray next to the glasses on the table. Hal grabbed Daves extended arm.

“Did you get hurt?” Hal’s voice was raspy, slurring under the medication and blood loss.

“No, I’m fine. Hal. We got what we came for.” David answered softly, his voice even, barely above a whisper. “We got everything we needed.”

Snake got quiet, lost in thought. Every detail of Hal’s face was being committed to memory. His extended hand came down to caress Hal’s face.

Dave made a decision that night. He gently leaned down and pressed his lips to Hal’s. Time slowed down as Hal made a hum into the kiss, the stubble on their faces scratched against Hal was a part of him that he could not be without. Hal was something precious that he didn’t realize, or more accurately didn't want to believe, that he could lose the hacker. Dave could feel his humanity fade from time to time, but Hal was a tether. Dave pulled away and rested his head in the crook of Hal’s neck.

Hal chuckled softly. “Hell of a thing to wake up to.” One of his hands raised to entangle his fingers into Dave’s hair. It was slick with sweat and natural hair oils. “You need a shower. I’ll still be here.”

Dave hesitated before standing up, pressing his lips to Hal’s temple.

The shower was quick, only long enough to get the job done. The water was barely warm enough and his hair was barely dry enough to not be considered damp. The tv was on, but the volume was low, playing some old sitcom where most of the actors have long since died. He was propped up with pillows, his hair slicked back. His eyes were half-closed, his breathing was even and he seemed ok. His chest was bare, only covered by bandages and a blanket. David threw himself next to Hal his arm resting over Hal’s stomach. His thumb rested on the jagged scar that he had found when desperate to save Hal. Hal took a breath and looked over to Dave. David's head was resting under Hal’s chin, feeling the other man breathing.

“Where did you get this?” Dave rumbled, speaking from his chest more than his throat. Hal let his hand cover Dave’s. “Same thing that happened this time,but in Shadow Moses. The same guy, if you can believe it.” Hal answered. Dave stiffened, tightening his grip on Hal. “I’ll be fine. You don’t have to hold me so closely.”

“I want to,” Dave answered.

“Is that also why you kissed me?” Hal squeezed Dave’s hand.

“I’m sorry.”

“I liked it. Don’t apologize.” Hal smiled. “I can't say that I didn’t want the kiss. I’m just surprised.”

Dave hummed in response, closing his eyes to listen to Hal’s heartbeat. It was strong, even. Things were calming down for the two of them. Hal was falling back to sleep, but Dave couldn’t. He watched Hal sleep peacefully. Dave fiddled with Hal’s hair softly. Otacon would recover. Dave wouldn’t know how to continue if he didn’t.

And to make it worse, Hal could have died all the way back in Shadow Moses. And Snake and Meryl would have left him behind. Never again. He won’t leave Hal again. He’d rather die.

#tw injury #love confessions #first kiss #otasune #otacon #solid snake #metal gear solid

I was gonna include “Locked Within the Crystal Ball” by Blackmore’s Night too, but I think that song fits The Owl House more...

And I know “Holding Out for a Hero” is more of a pop song, but I still consider it Battle Music.

Also, you might find it kind of weird that there are songs about Dinosaurs on this playlist, but think about it: Amphibia is a world, where we’ve seen Birds the size of T-Rexes and and Rhino Beetles the size of Triceratopses!

And yeah, the playlist includes songs from The Aquabats too! Amphibia is a comedic show after all...

So there you have it: my Amphibia Final Battle Playlist!

(Note to self: make this playlist on Spotify...)

Chapter One

Fall of Junior Year – 8:57am

I curse every single decision that has brought me to this very moment as I power-walk across campus, sweating under the already blistering sun. Campus in August could easily be compared to a swamp given the amount of unearthly humidity, and I'm pretty sure I currently qualified as the local swamp thing.

The only positive feature in my morning has been the table of free coffee and doughnuts staffed by Student Government. The first day of the fall semester always seems to be accompanied by frantically wide-eyed freshmen and celebratory freebies. However, air conditioning is the only thing I would be celebrating today as I finally reach Tyson Hall – the destination of my 9:00am class.

As I rush to my classroom with one minute to spare, I slump into a seat in the far corner – my preferred location for people-watching out of the large windows and for getting away with doing homework for other classes.

Familiar faces surround me, an unsurprising observation given that this is our mandatory research seminar as psychology majors. I notice my friend Jenni sitting in the opposite corner, eyes glued to her phone screen.

Opening my laptop, I shoot her a text to come sit with me. Her head whips up, black braids moving every which way as she immediately piles up her things and hustles over, “(y/n), I forgot you were in this seminar! I just switched over from quantitative research because I couldn’t take any more statistics – or Dr. Harding.”

Dr. Harding is the dean of the psychology department and has been teaching here for ages. Feared by most psychology students for his tough grading and intimidating persona, he’s actually a huge softie – something I discovered by going to his office hours and seeing all 85 pictures of his grandchildren hanging throughout the room.

“He’s not that bad, Jen.”

She scoffs, “You would say that because you got an A in statistics like some sort of wizard. Besides, Dr. Newman is so much nicer.”

Jenni has an excellent point. Dr. Newman is the main reason I chose this seminar. As one of the most respected researchers at our university, she’s known for her qualitative studies on gender across cultures. I consider Dr. Newman to be a real badass woman and I lowkey stan her.

I turn to reply, but Dr. Newman begins taking attendance and class begins.

Fifty minutes later, Jenni practically drags me out of the classroom, “I cannot believe she kept us the whole 50 minutes. Is she aware that it’s syllabus week? It’s practically law to just read over the syllabus and then dismiss class. This is outrageous– (y/n), are you even listening?”

“Hmm?” I totally had tuned her out, focusing on the number of students flooding the quad. I had missed this – the rush of students heading to class, the yells of people greeting each other from entirely too far away, the buzz of excitement over potential parties…

“Unbelievable. How did I forget you have this whole weird-ass feminist crush on her?” Jenni forges forth, “It doesn’t matter. What are you doing tonight? You’re going out with us, right? Luna and I want to go to Hannigan’s.”

Since the three of us had all turned 21 over the summer, we finally could legally go to the bars in town. Hannigan’s currently holds the top spot on the list of bars that most of the upperclassman frequent. It’s a popular Irish pub downtown known for its cheap beer and mixed drinks.

It’s also BTS’s unofficial hangout – a fact that makes me slightly uneasy. After learning who the higher-ups are in BTS, I have taken to avoiding them like the plague. It was a relatively easy thing to do since the spring semester tended to be less focused on rushing and recruiting for fraternities and sororities.

But now it’s rush season, and I’m pretty much fucked. There will be no avoiding seeing BTS’s president Kim Namjoon out recruiting with his vice president Min Yoongi and his social chair Jung Hoseok. There will also be no avoiding pledge master Taehyung leading around new BTS pledges like a mother duckling. And don’t even get me started on how Kim Seokjin, Park Jimin and Jeon Jungkook will be popping up everywhere to advertise the latest BTS bash.

Sighing, I figure that the chances of actually bumping into them at the bar will be slim, given that it will most likely be super crowded and I can easily blend in.

I turn to Jenni as we keep walking towards our next classes, “Yeah, I’ll go to Hannigan’s. Are you going to come over to get ready at our place?”

Luna and I had moved into a cute little off-campus apartment over the summer. As it turned out, it’s cheaper to live off-campus than on-campus if you look hard enough. We also had it pretty good location-wise being just a few short blocks from both campus and downtown.

“Yes!” Jenni replies, slowing to a stop out front of the science building, “I’ll be over around 8 with tequila. I’ll text you later. I’ve got to go to neuro-psych lab now,” she rolls her eyes, “Hopefully we won’t be kept the whole time.”

Waving, we part ways, and I shake my head.

Tequila never leads to anything good.

Hannigan’s – 10:54pm

Fate seems to be on my side for once in my life. As soon as Luna, Jenni and I walk into Hannigan’s, my eyes are drawn to the back table where the BTS usually sits. It’s empty.

It’s practically an unspoken rule that no one else can sit there, and even though the bar is packed with all other tables accounted for, that one remains vacant – and for good reason.

Greek life essentially has a cult following around here. The Greeks provide status for those who are into that whole exclusivity thing. They also provide the best parties because of the size of their houses and because the university will never complain about one of their best sources of revenue.

I didn’t to rush a sorority way back in freshman year because I couldn’t feasibly afford it. The dues were way out of my price range, considering I was already paying for my education on my own. Luna, on the other hand, is in Epsilon Xi Delta (EXID) and consistently makes me and Jenni tag along to different Greek parties with her.

"Come on, bitches! Let's get some drinks," Jenni drags me and Luna through the packed room towards the bar that is already encircled by a crowd of thirsty students.

Tonight’s plan is simple – stick together, have fun, scope out cute seniors. Having already taken some shots before we left (saving that coin), we’re definitely feeling ourselves, flaunting our outfits like we didn’t spend a good hour picking them out earlier.

I had settled on a black t-shirt dress with a checkered flannel tied around the waist and some black Doc Martens. Luna and Jenni had tried to convince me to wear heels with them, but I knew syllabus week was a marathon – not a sprint. My feet would thank me later, and theirs would be crying.

As the bartender slides us our beers, the opening beats of Cocky AF by our badass queen Megan Thee Stallion blast through the speakers dispersed throughout the bar. Turning immediately to each other, we clink our beers together, take a sip, and head to the makeshift dance floor.

We squeeze and push our way through the masses until we reach a spot towards the back where the crowd has thinned out a little more. Within seconds, we’re in motion, hips swaying in time to Megan saying ‘bitch, I look good and you know that’.

Shaking out my hair, I get in the zone and lose count of how many songs we dance to. Eventually, our beers empty and Luna turns to me, “Another?" She accompanies her shouted question with an unnecessary charade of shot-gunning a beer in case I couldn’t hear her. I roll my eyes, laughing while I nod in response.

“Save our spot!” Jenni yells and disappears into the crowd of dancers with Luna towards the bar.

I continue dancing on my own. Swaying my hips, I decide to put my hair up to try to cool off a little in the sweltering bar. The music shifts into a new song, this one slower, more seductive, a favorite of mine – Lost in the Fire featuring The Weeknd.

As Abel’s angelic voice flows over me, a pair of hands slide over my hips from behind me. I start to pull away, but then I notice – the hands are tattooed. And for some reason, that hot little fact makes me relax into the large body behind me.

Those tattooed hands tug me back even more, bringing me flush against him as he falls into time with my movements. God, this guy can dance – a rarity these days.

His body is all hard muscle and heated skin. His mouth is hot against my neck, alternating between kissing, sucking, and biting. My skin buzzes. Fuck, I haven’t felt this way since–

Turning my head slightly, I can make out the vague outline him and it confirms my sinking suspicion... He’s a BTS boy.

"Hey, noona," he murmurs in my ear, his lips brushing over it as he speaks.

Fuck my life, I think as I shiver involuntarily in response. Spinning to face one of Satan’s henchmen, I toss my ponytail over my shoulder and jut a hip out in both defiance and defense. But really nothing could have prepared me for the sight of Jeon fucking Jungkook, the golden boy of BTS.

He somehow looks like he’s gotten even bigger since the last I saw him playing pong against Taehyung at that party – information that I cannot even comprehend. His left arm is completely tattooed, along with a few smaller ones dotting his hands. I glare at them, blaming those hands for throwing me off.

“Like them?” Jungkook waves his fingers in front of my narrowed eyes, “I got them this summer.” Smirking lazily, Jungkook makes his own perusal of me – taking extra time along the way.

His jaw flexes as his eyes turn molten, “You’re killing me, noona. Tae didn’t mention…” He trails off, swallowing hard.

I follow his gaze. Oh fuck. I had forgotten I decided to forego a regular bra tonight because I wanted to show off my piercings. Just having a thin bralette under my dress, my pierced nipples are definitely noticeable under Jungkook’s heavy stare.

Refusing to give into him, I square my shoulders, “Yeah, I got them this summer, too. But, I don’t see how that’s either your or Taehyung’s business.”

At my words, Jungkook rips his eyes away from my tits to finally meet my own eyes again, “Oh, but it really is our business. Tae said we’d like you and I agree.”

His voice is low and rough, and I swear I can feel it washing over my body, making all of my synapses fire in response.

“We?” I choked out. In full panic mode, I spin and try to leave, but I barely make it a foot away before getting stopped by a now-familiar tattooed hand wrapped around my wrist.

Luckily, a crashing sound echoes from the back table where the other BTS boys must be, and Jungkook lets out a string of curses, “Fucking hell, listen I have to go make sure no one’s hurt, or Joon will kill me. Stay here, okay? I’m not done with you, (y/n).”

His hand rushes up to the nape of my neck, pulling me into him. Our lips fuse together in a brutally hot kiss, his tongue slipping against my bottom lip for a fraction of a second.

And then he’s gone – disappearing rapidly through the fray to manage whatever trouble his frat has gotten into.

I stand there, shaking fingers on my lips wondering what the actual fuck just happened.

“Hey, sorry we took so long! This bitch cut in front of us and I swear she ordered for the entire fucking population of North America—”

Luna smacks Jenni’s arm, cutting her off, “You okay, (y/n)?” Luna peers closer at me, “Holy shit, is that a hickey? We were only gone for 10 minutes!”

My hand flies to my neck as both Jenni and Luna grab me, dragging me to the slightly quieter back alley of the bar. As they conduct the second Spanish Inquisition, I spill the details on what happened.

After a moment of silence following my explanation, they both start talking at once:

→ Jenni: “Hell yes, girl, go off! Jeon Jungkook is fine as fuck…” → Luna: “(y/f/n) (y/m/n) (y/l/n), have you lost your damn mind…”

→ Jenni: “…I’d hit that in a heartbeat. I’m so proud!” → Luna: “…Do you not remember last semester? Are you high? Oh my GOD, did he drug you?!”

“Stop!” I slap a hand over each of their mouths, “Jesus, Mary and Joseph, you guys are impossible. I am not ‘hitting’ anything, and, no, he did not fucking drug me.”

Sighing, I continue, “It was a lapse in judgement, okay? I remember last semester more than anyone, but he’s just so powerful and I don’t seem to have any common sense around BTS.”

I take my hands away from their mouths and immediately Jenni asks, “Wait, what happened last semester?”

Luna slings an arm around my shoulder, “Come on, let’s go get pizza and a six-pack from Ralph’s. We can go out another night this week.”

“Take-out from Ralph’s?” Jenni’s eyes widen comically, “This must be major tea. Let’s go.”

Instinctively, we clink our beers together for the second time that night and chug the remainder of our bottles in true broke bitch fashion (never leave paid-for beer behind).

With that, we trek back through the door and out of the bar. We finish our night filling in Jenni with our less than savory experience with the infamous BTS fraternity last semester.

But, as I lay in bed for the night, I can’t help but wonder if Jungkook had looked for me that night after I left… Or if he told Taehyung...

Start the New Chapter

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

TW : DEATH ; SUICIDE MENTIONED

· · ─────── ·𖥸· ─────── · ·

𝗔 𝗣𝗜𝗘𝗥𝗖𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗦𝗖𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗠 rang across the house in the middle of the night. Rushed footsteps ran across the wooden floor making a soft 'pit pat' sound. A door flew open, the lights flickered on, and a boy tugged at his shaggy lock, his sandy hair covering his face, as he stood at the entrance, his cloudy grey eyes scanning the room before landing on the queen sized bed in the middle of the wall.

He sat near the headrest and without saying a word, pulled the figure on the bed into a protective hug. The figure's tears stained his clothes and normally he would complain about getting tears on his T-shirt.. He didn't seem to care today.

As the sobs settled down, he loosened the hug and stared at the figure's face. He was met with identical grey eyes, puffy and red from crying. "You okay now?" He asked, his voice filled with concern. The figure managed a shaky nod.

"I'm in the other room if you need me. Just call me if you need anything." He said as he stood up.

He reached the door and was about to grab the handle when a small voice piped up. "Theo?" He whipped his head back and looked at the girl.

"Yes Clo?" She sat up on her bed and patted the end, "Stay? Please?" A soft smile rose on Theo's face as he walked back and sat on the end of the bed.

"What happened sis?" He asked, grabbing his sister's hand and placing it between his own.

"Nightmare." She was still shaking slightly. As soon as she said the words, a small gasp left her mouth as the memories of the darkness flashed across her mind.

"Clover, it's not real. They never are." Theo reassured but his younger sister was finding it hard to listen. Her breathing was increasing to a rapid pace and Theo looked around the bedroom for something that might help.

"Hey, hey, hey. Look what we have here." He grabs a familiar box that has intricate designs of flora all over as well as the stamp of a four leaf clover.

"Remember when I gave you this? You were what? 7? And now your 18. Times really caught up to us ay?" His face fell when he didn't get a laugh like he had hoped. Defeated, he stares at the box, tracing the design with his fingers.

"Eight." A shaky voice replied and Theo looked at Clover.

"What?"

Clover glanced up and managed to hold his gaze. "You said you got me that when I was 7. I was 8." Theo's mouth turned at the side as he smirked at her reply. He opened the box and turned the crank.

Immediately, the room was filled with the lovely melody of the music box. Theo felt his younger sister relax at the familiar tune and felt his own facial features calm at the peace. "It's my fault." Clover said, in a whisper. Theo didn't even need to ask what she was talking about.

"No it wasn't. Mom's death was purely an accident. You had nothing to do with it." Saying the words made them both physically wince.

Their mother died earlier that week. It was an accident like Theo mentioned. They both could remember ever sound, colour, person.

They could remember to yell. The scream of "CLOVER! THEODORE GET YOUR FATHER NOW!". They could remember their father running up. They could remember the gunshot. Clover could remember the feel of the gravel in the ground as she was pushed over and they could both distinctly remember to metallic smell of blood.

Theo wrapped Clover into another hug, which was when she realised she was shaking all over again. "I...I was the reason. Don't tell me otherwise. She...she was...she was right next to me. I couldn't even...even take the bullet. I was the one who was....who was supposed to die." Theo tightened his grip on her.

"Stop that. Mom did what she needed to do. So did you. No more of this. You are amazing and wonderful. I know I don't say it as often as I should with all our small arguments, but I do truly care for you. And I will be there with you no matter what. Dad will too. So stop your worrying. What happened, happened. We can't change that. And we both know Mom would be upset if we chose to kept lingering on that past. Like she always said 'The past has happened. That was the previous chapter. Now start the new one.'"

Clover smiled and wiped away the tears that were streaming down her face. She managed a nod. "Thanks Theo." She did something unexpected by both sibling, and gave him a small kiss on his cheek. "For being the best brother ever. I love you."

Theo helped her get back in bed and kept the music box playing and he walked to the door. He switched off the light and right before he left, whispered "Love you too Clo."

Hi hi! This is my first post here and it’s a short story I had made a while ago. It was inspired by the sibling scene/nightmare scene in ‘Wandering Star’ by @rominagarber. I created a story based off the relationship between Rho and Stan but it is not really a Fanfiction in anyway. Either way, I hope you guys like it :)

What exactly are these people doing next to door my son asks me and I said sitting there dropping off tile it looks like it fits into where the tile was taken out and has stuff on the bottom of it like it's the actual towels that were ripped out. So some kind of scam going on or what so looked at it I said are you people mean or stupid and the tiles that John remillard ripped out didn't come out in one piece or did they a lot of people don't know and my son doesn't know sometimes they come out in one piece and he was mentioning that his mom had a tile job done and the tiles came out real easy because it has slip sheet and they weren't really glued down and wobbling and stuff most of them weren't broken. And yes they moved to the different house I sent that maybe the tile was there but he thought it's not the same size but it was and some idiot move the tile there and yeah it's from the house in Millbury or next to Millbury that Arnie and Dee had so what are these people driving at. My son put the title in this people went behind and took the tile out. I think it may have popped out because the basement was wet and they said it was not so they had a problem with it had the tile removed. Yeah they sold the place before that happened so we're curious why the hell they're doing that stupid s***who is dropping Tile off and they're not doing any work. These people are strange and stupid this is no way to run a business and it says they're d****** around with a kid on purpose my son on purpose and not giving any leeway on purpose messing with his mind a little on purpose is John Reed it's a John remillard and Stan and stands supposed daughter the queen gilene knows. So Stan is walking around with him and knows who he is and can't stand him and all three of them really belong to jail two of them have jail sentences and dropping off that tile doesn't mean s*** except their assholes they probably don't have enough of it and they don't

They just drove up to drop off some stuff clutter the place or something it's the same time it has glue on it and mastic her son says yeah this is the size tile did he put in the basement in his mom's place and really there may have been enough tile to do one apartment but not both we agree it was a big space when it was only the size of the apartment next door but then again they took tile out of his mom's place in Hillsboro so wondering what these idiots are up to and I noticed something just saying it's special tile the first non-slip tile I need non slip over there that's how I look at it I don't care for people f****** around with my life all the time and keep me here I did nothing I need an income this is preposterously stupid it's like rabbits made this stupid idea what you people are doing so I suddenly see something he's Max or fruitcakes and we're poor I understand that a new tour s******** you're a real shitted John rima Lord this guy's an idiot too I'm sitting here doing the best we can and what we're doing is so bizarre people can't figure out what we're doing what he says is to pull them and I was laying there sleeping and I think the two idiots were thinking of kidnapping me and wrote I mean getting you into it because you want me and stuff so I saw something today these two are f****** idiots they need to be killed and that's what I'm saying they need to be shot I need to be killed a long time ago you like a queen and they're like f****** idiots

And Mac probably have them come down but really this is some real half-ass slow moronic s*** it's coming out in a slow diarrhea drizzle and Stan says that's all I can muster said okay well it's understandable that Tommy f has y'all pinned cuz he's doing it to me and he's done it my whole life but what's this f****** problem you know what I mean the guy has a f****** problem so starting to figure out something why is it him he's got two mile shatteredome called Port Charlotte harbor no that's not too close to here but it's only like a mile and a half away so I was sitting here and you're doing this f****** stupid work making noises it's probably drilling a tunnel so Stan says wow that's amazing I can't even think of that that's what I mean you kind of s*** is

Do you think the first Rhaenys could be described as a “good Targaryen” like Alysanne or Daeron? I mean yeah she took care of the smallfolk and loved music, poetry etc. But also she was rumored to be accused in adultery and her japes about “the yellow toad of Dorne” doesn’t makes her seem like a very nice person. Just wanna know your opinion, have a good day😊

Hi anon! Lmao I see a lot of Rhaenys hate (from a particular group lol) on here for some reason and I genuinely don’t understand it! Gosh, I really wish people would actually READ the texts properly before passing such sweeping judgements lmao but if that was the case, the asoiaf fandom wouldn’t be such a cesspool of self-righteousness right? So here’s my opinion: Rhaenys never did a thing wrong in her life and anyone who says otherwise is a wet blanket. Don't you think it's suspect when how the maesters portray Rhaenys as a wanton adulteress and Visenya as a stone-cold bitch? I certainly do!

Queen Rhaenys was a very instrumental figure in the Conquest, and exercised “soft power” which is the use of diplomatic and persuasive forms of politics, usually by the use of cultural or economic means. We know this because Fire and Blood spells it out for us:

Queen Rhaenys was a great patron to the bards and singers of the Seven Kingdoms,showering gold and gifts on those who pleased her. Though Queen Visenya thought her sister frivolous, there was a wisdom in this that went beyond a simple love of music. For the singers of the realm, in their eagerness to win the favor of the queen, composed many a song in praise of House Targaryen and King Aegon, and then went forth and sang those songs in every keep and castle and village green from the Dornish Marches to the Wall.

Rhaenys also took a "great interest in the smallfolk, and had a special love for women and children” and was responsible for incorporating the “rule of six/rule of thumb” into common law after a man had beaten his wife to death after being found abed with another man. This is also detailed in F&B but I shall add it below:

The right of a husband to chastise an erring wife was well established throughout the Seven Kingdoms (save in Dorne). The husband further pointed out that the rod he had used to beat his wife was no thicker than his thumb, and even produced the rod in evidence. When the queen asked him how many times he had struck his wife, however, the husband could not answer, but the dead woman’s brothers insisted there had been a hundred blows.

She consulted her maesters and her septons on the matter before passing her judgement on the man.

An adulterous wife gave offense to the Seven, who had created women to be faithful and obedient to their husbands, and therefore must be chastised. As god has but seven faces,however, the punishment should consist of only six blows (for the seventh blow would be for the Stranger, and the Stranger is the face of death). Thus the first six blows the man had struck had been lawful…but the remaining ninety-four had been an offense against gods and men, and must be punished in kind... (The husband was taken to the foot of the Hill of Rhaenys, where he was given ninety-four blows by the dead woman’s brothers, using rods of lawful size.)

Rhaenys and Visenya were both equals when it came to policy-making and ruling Westeros alongside Aegon. And they both DELIVERED. Aegon’s chief objective was to unite the Seven Kingdoms, and Rhaenys and Visenya had their own methods of doing so- but Rhaenys in particular used very effective methods whether it was passing rulings on the common law or spreading the Gospel of House Targaryen😂 Similarly, Rhaenys and Visenya both arranged betrothals and marriages between the Houses of Westeros to further knit the kingdoms together.

Save perhaps for Good Queen Alysanne, the wife of King Jaehaerys I, no other queen in the history of the Seven Kingdoms ever exercised as much influence over policy as the Dragon’s sisters.

As for the “rumours” and “whispers” of Rhaenys sleeping around with bards- GOOD for her if she did, and GOOD for her if she didn’t. She had her man Aegon wrapped around her little finger, he spent ten nights with her for every night he spent with Visenya and if the rumours want to call her a floozy then bully for them. Funny how everyone goes cuckoo over Dornish sexual practise and liberation but lord forbid someone else have a lil fun on the side😂 Speaking of, lets get onto Meria Martell now. This is the entire exchange between them:

Meria Martell was eighty years of age, the maesters tell us, and had ruled the Dornishmen for sixty of those years. She was very fat, blind, and almost bald, her skin sallow and sagging. Argilac the Arrogant had named her “the Yellow Toad of Dorne,” but neither age nor blindness had dulled her wits. “I will not fight you,” Princess Meria told Rhaenys, “nor will I kneel to you. Dorne has no king. Tell your brother that.” “I shall,” Rhaenys replied, “but we will come again, Princess, and the next time we shall come with fire and blood.” “Your words,” said Princess Meria. “Ours are Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken. You may burn us, my lady…but you will not bend us, break us, or make us bow. This is Dorne. You are not wanted here. Return at your peril.” Thus queen and princess parted, and Dorne remained unconquered.

Someone please show me where Rhaenys japed or jeered at Meria. She didn’t personally name her The Yellow Toad, Argilac gave her that epithet and it was in common use by then lol, nor did she parlay with her in an insulting manner. She was there as an envoy to accept her fealty and win Dorne to her side. Later on during the campaign, Rhaenys told Aegon, “The Yellow Toad has melted into the sands” lmao but at this point if people are more concerned about name-calling then idk what to say. Nicknames are commonly used amongst the highborn and lowborn in Westeros, some are pleasant and some not so much - even amongst Targaryens. Aegon the Unworthy, Theon Stark the Hungry Wolf, Kingslayer, Brienne the Beauty, The Imp, Littlefinger, Harma the Dogshead, Whoresbane, Crowfood, etc are all nicknames in common usage! Calling someone a nickname doesn’t make them a bad person, if that was the case, the majority of characters in asoiaf are too🤦‍♀️

Rhaenys died very young, and her loss was keenly felt by her siblings, that much is certain. If she had lived longer, the histories may have turned out very differently! She was an astute, capable and lovable queen and the ultimate matriarch of House Targaryen. I personally believe she would have continued to be very instrumental in law-making and the lives of the smallfolk in Westeros, travelling with Aegon on his progress throughout the lands, holding her own courts and granting her patronage to many a singer and mummer. Good thing we have Queen Alysanne following in her grandmother’s footsteps and doing it for the people!

Long story short, you may or may not agree with the Conquest or House Targaryen in general - and that’s fine. We have a series filled with murderers and rapists and all kinds of unsavoury folks, but it kills me when people say Rhaenys wasn't a "good person" lmfaoooo just stan your bland favourites and stay outta Targaryens’ business!😂😂😂

Thanks for the question anon, hope you have a good day too!

I know you're pretty into Jonerys as a pairing, and you mentioned that the show's special treatment of Sansa, at Jon's character's expense, bothered you. Did you feel this way towards Daenerys/Jon during season 7 and early season 8? As a Jon stan as well, I felt like they just casted him aside/made him her sidekick. I've always loved Dany but that bothered me at that time, did it bother you? Why or why not?

This is a bit long so under the cut it goes ....

First, I think I have made it clear what I think of the trash writing for show Jon. It’s been terrible from season 6 onwards where D&D basically gave him nothing. His parentage amounted to just making Dany paranoid, his white walker storyline ended with him yelling at a dragon while Arya got the big kill and his King In the North arc was more about how he should listen to Sansa because she’s Always Right. All Jon got was jokes about his height and how he was stupid and did not want anything.

If Jon stayed dead at the end of season 5, we could have still got to the same ending because ultimately he contributed nothing. I wish Jon had stayed dead on the show – it would have been a far more satisfying ending to his story arc then being used as a prop to advance the storylines of other characters.

Of course, Jon’s not the only character to have been totally assassinated in terms of plot and characterization. What D&D to Jon Snow is nothing compared to what they did to Bran Stark – arguably GRRM’s central character of the series. They had him sit out a season, gave his WF/North leader role to Sansa, and he had nothing at all to do in defeating the White Walkers other than sit under a tree. They gave him absolutely nothing. And then D&D had the gall to have Tyrion say that Bran had the best story? Fuck D&D and their trash show.

‘Bothered me’ is too understated lol. I loathe show Sansa - one of the most badly written, garbage, self-insert Mary Sue, trash characters ever written for a TV show. The difference between Dany and Sansa is that we have been following Dany’s development over several seasons where she has actually ruled city states, fought at the head of her army and planned battles. She has earned her position as Queen. Sansa on the other hand has done fuck all and then D&D decided that her brain suddenly grew 2 sizes after being raped by Ramsay Bolton and she was now super intelligent and an expert in everything – from armor making to defense planning.

The thing is, we know that Sansa is propped up at Jon’s expense because we have the source books. Jon is a capable and intelligent administrator and politician in the books – taken away on the show to prop up Sansa and give her something to do. It was Jon who rallied the wildlings to go attack the Boltons – taken away on the show to prop up Sansa. Jon is well adept in Northern politics and diplomacy – taken away on the show so that Sansa can ‘advise him’ and call him stupid. If Jon becomes KITN he does so by Robb’s will and as Jon Stark, Lord of Winterfell – taken away on the show to put Sansa in charge of WF and deny Jon an arc as an actual ruler of the North.

Now coming to Jon and Dany in season 7. I admit I did enjoy their interactions. Neither character was propped up at the expense of the other in my opinion and there was the thrill of these characters finally meeting. Jon and Dany meet as equals even though Dany is the more powerful monarch and Jon has gone there to ask for aid. They argue and debate (With Tyrion in the mix) and neither give way. It’s only natural that Dany would not believe and Jon understands this – as he explains to Tyrion. At the same time Dany is charmed by Jon and allows him to mine for Dragonglass. Jon continues trying to convince Dany of his mission.

Jon walks around Dragonstone meeting people like Missandei who tells him that Dany is a good Queen. When Missandei tells Jon these things, we know it to be true. Missandei was rescued by Dany and is now a Queen’s interpreter and councilor. She has genuine reasons to like and admire Dany. Compare this to Arya telling Jon that he should listen to Sansa because she is like the Smartest Person In the World! What has Sansa done to earn that qualification and why the hell would Arya think this after they spend season 7 trying to kill each other?

Jon starts to be equally charmed by Dany at this point. And then Tyrion’s plans fail miserably and Dany loses Highgarden. She rejects Tyrion’s explanations and who does she turn to for advice? Jon Snow. He gives his advice as a suggestion (Instead of making it sound like an order like Sansa does) and she takes it – not attacking KL, but instead the Lannister/Tarly armies.

In contrast Sansa thinks that Jon should do only what she says and compares him to Joffrey when he doesn’t follow her idiotic orders. That’s the difference between Jon and Sansa and Jon and Dany. Jon and Dany’s interactions are that of two monarchs who respect each other’s leadership and intelligence. Sansa on the other hand is a whiny, petulant, selfish brat who constantly undermines Jon before the other houses because she thinks she’s the expert at ruling and therefore wants to be queen. She even mocks Davos who has been a far knowledgeable and capable adviser to Jon than she ever was.

And then we have the end, with the idiotic wight hunt ending in disaster. Dany rushes to rescue Jon and the others, pledges to help defeat the dead and Jon sees what a generous ruler of the people she is and bends the knee.

The whole thing was rushed with hardly any time spend on them, but what we got made sense and I thought they matched each other perfectly in their idealism and desire to help their people.

As for season 8, yeah, I got nothing. It was trash and everyone was trashed. Was Jon sidelined? Yes, he was. But maybe that’s better than what they did to Dany? Because Jon was basically used to seed betrayal and make Dany paranoid and drive her down a path of madness and destruction and finally death. At least Jon got to be free and happy beyond the wall with his true family - the loyal freefolk - and Ghost.

Ultimately Dany is a major character in the series with her rise paralleling Jon’s at the other end of the world on the Wall. They are Fire and Ice and their meeting and uniting to defeat the Others along with Bran and Arya will be a big part of their story and I thought season 7 reflected that even if it was rushed. On the other hand I doubt Sansa and Jon even meet again, seeing as their stories and characters are least connected in the books

Show Sansa was dumped into Jon’s book plot and it then becomes Sansa’s story with Jon as a side character. This happened because D&D found Sansa’s book plot in the Vale to be boring and wanted Sansa at the center of the more interesting North plot in the books. This happened because D&D were writing for Sophie Turner instead of book Sansa. This also lead to the undermining of Jon’s relationships with his other Stark siblings like Arya and Bran. We got Arya supporting Sansa over Jon!! – that’s how shit the writing for the Starks became after D&D centered everything around Sansa. Show Sansa was propped up not just at Jon’s expense but at Bran, Arya and Rickon’s expense as well.

As for shipping, I have always maintained that both Jonerys and Jonarya is possible in the books. There is foreshadowing for both relationships in the books. There is the original outline and GRRM stating he is still heading for the same ending he came up with in the early nineties. But the show also hints at a possible Jon-Dany relationship. So we will have to wait for the books to see where GRRM is headed. Hopefully the next book will give us some more clues.
