currently thinking about how the first time we see percy show signs of suicidal ideation was when he landed in the water beneath the gateway arch and stated that he wished he could drown himself. currently thinking about how his mom was the only person that kept him grounded throughout his childhood thus far, and, in turn, the chance of saving her being the only thing that kept him alive in his darkest moments.

still shocked at how the writers completely and utterly fucking destroyed the entire point of the dance.

rhaenyra wasn't usurped because alicent misunderstood viserys's words, rhaenyra was usurped because she was a woman.

alicent didn't make aegon king because she thought that's what viserys wanted, she did it to protect her children and because of her own ambitions.

both of these statements are true and can coexist. rhaenyra being heir did put alicent's sons' lives in danger, but if rhaenyra was a man the dance would never have happened.

viserys was the one at fault here. 100%.

but now the dance happened because someone misheard something.

common batfamily misconceptions

in no particular order

- dick sees alfred as a father, not a grandfather (honestly, most of the batkids do)

- tim is not CEO of wayne enterprises, he is just a shareholder

- tim has not killed anyone in the main continuity

- dick grayson is not a cop, he VERY BRIEFLY was but it was like 20 years ago and it was in order to root out corrupt cops

- dick was not adopted by bruce until he was in his twenties (around the time tim is adopted). dick was his ward, not his son.

- jason was not revived by the lazarus pit, he was only healed by it. he un-died six months after he was buried because superboy prime messed with the universe (?? idk either), which is when he dug out of his grave. he then wandered around gotham while mostly brain-dead and very injured until talia found him and took him to nanda parbat. there she dunked him in the pit, which healed his injuries and his brain damage

- we don’t know all that much about jason’s time post-resurrection, honestly. all i know for sure is he was sent to train with the All Caste for a while, and was trained by Lady Shiva after joining the League

- babs was the first batfam member to meet cass

- tim did not follow Batman and Robin around with a camera, he just kept track of them in the news and saved articles / photos

- tim DID however stalk dick in blüdhaven, and followed bruce around with a camera post-jason’s death in order to get evidence that bruce was using excessive force (which he showed to dick to try and convince him to be robin again)

- talia did not rape bruce, that was a writer being shitty and racist and it’s been ret-conned

- jason is not tim’s robin. tim actually thinks robin!jason is kinda lame. the first time they meet (at Titans Tower) tim basically just bullies jason when he figures out who he is

- ‘lazarus pit rage’ is not actually a thing. jason was young, brutally murdered, brought back from the brink of death, and extremely traumatized and upset. the things he did while starting out as Hood should not be diminished by having an excuse like ‘pit rage’. he was a traumatized teenager and he was hurt, so he hurt others.

- dick was not mean to robin!jason. he was a good older brother, but he was busy with the titans and college and just didn’t have much free time to spend in gotham with him

the argument that homophobes use "you cant ship _____ because _____ is straight!" one thing I got to say to that is no character is ever confirmed straight in any peace of fiction, it is YOU who assumes the normal is straightness, ,And even in the rare case where a character is directly stated to be straight, that still doesn’t invalidate queer readings or queer headcanons. fiction is meant to be interpreted not policed!!!

The fact that it takes me longer to read whenever Shakepeare talks because my teeny tiny brain is trying to understand what he said.

I think people who get offended on Tywin’s behalf when he gets compared to Otto are funny af bc like… yall know Otto is arguably the more accomplished one right? Otto successfully married his daughter to the king and got 4 royal grandchildren and 3 great grandchildren. His daughter was the queen for twenty years. He didn’t die on the toliet or by the hand of his own son. If anything Otto should be the one offended by this comparison.

two months of prince "um, actually" henry

you know what worries me about season 5? is how will and mike's queerness will be handled.

Mike and Will ending up together is a guarantee—obviously, But the worry comes from how the show will actually deliver on that. Will it be done with depth, and a real emotional payoff? Or will it be rushed, sidelined, or treated like a last-minute reveal to check a box? Queer characters, especially in big genre shows, often get underdeveloped or used for emotional impact without full resolution, and thats what gets me tbh

Just thinking about this quote from SPQR by Mary Beard:

"Unchecked competition eventually did more to destroy than to uphold the Republic. Even before that, it is a fair guess that for every young Roman inspired to live up to the achievements of his ancestors, there was another oppressed by the weight of tradition and expectation that fell upon him" (pg. 187-188).

And it made me think of the twins. I can't figure out my thoughts on this fully but hopefully someone else sees the vision
