Crackship yaoi is so easy to do. The homoeroticism is baked in already. #Real yuri warriors can make something out of nothing. We can weave webs from thin air and dreams. Case in point: Butch Lagertha and her High Femme Aslaug

deleting my dating apps because i want to meet someone the old fashioned way (i attend saturnalia games, fall in love at first sight with the slave fighting the retiarius, save him from the claws of death, buy him with my scarse life earnings and make him my freedman)

Hello, I hope you have a good day. I wanted to ask you, for example, what kind of clothes Naerys Targaryen would wear. It is said that she dressed well, with signs of faith, hoods, and I have a headcanon that she liked to wear light-colored clothes with layers of different colors to symbolize the rainbow of the Seven. I hope this message finds you well. Bye.
Naerys is peak dark ages/early Middle Ages to me like everything I imagine her in just screams shame and guilt and prisoner 👍🏻

She is ashamed of simply having a body so she covers up every possible inch of it, out of guilt, modesty, and some semblance of control over her own life. Long sleeves that drape over her hands. Thick, heavy skirts that act like an iron curtain. Loose bodices that give the illusion of absolutely nothing going on underneath. Very drab and bland colors that dont catch the eye at all. Some type of full veil or head covering at almost all times (except when Aegon wants to humiliate her) Just does not want to be perceived or feel anyway in bare. Fuuuuuck she should’ve been at the sept

Also every time I think of Naerys I think of those 13th century little drawings in the sides of manuscripts and scrolls. It’s literally her. Whump Queen Supreme

I hate 2 say it but being a part of a “weird” subculture does not meaningfully inoculate you against a conservative moralizing impulse. You gotta unlearn that. Saying “cringe is dead” is not enough, you have to actually be okay with things that discomfort, perplex and/or disgust you.
