Cora : I can’t pick a side

Greens, dragging meleys around kings landing : IM CONFUSED BUT I DEFINITELY UNDERSTAND HATING FAMILY NOW I GET IT THE RAGE IS REAL

[godsequal]

watching danerys edits and all i can think about is how cora's story starts and ends where danery's does . danny's very existence is woven into the fabric of time , when all is said and done , coraline is there , waiting for the targaryens that do have that that calling to the iron throne - she's a witness , a built in advisor to warn the future of past because they're so delicately sown in time that repetition is the biggest downfall of the targaryens - she's a leader in her own right , but there's never been a moment where she's truly felt this calling to BE queen ; it's not her ( has she thought about it ? sure , what targaryen doesn't ? but a thought that remains a thought , &. a thought that actually becomes boring ) i truly feel like she lives because of danerys , have i thought this out in full ? not even a little bit . does it feel right , do i feel it in my bones that there is a thought here that i need to run with ? fucking yes . is danerys that bitch ? she is that bitch &. we love her !

𝐢𝐭 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐛𝐞𝐚𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐟𝐮𝐥 𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐬𝐢𝐝𝐞 ; the type of day where you could feel gods pulse beneath feet , the sun high shining on the blades of grass making them come alive with a reflective light ; on the trees , where the wind was so light it seemed like they were in deep meditation , each shadow painting it's own picture . the heat giving a taste of what it means to be gently burned ⎯⎯⎯⎯ it was a relaxing sensation , one coraline couldn't help but get lost in ⎯⎯⎯⎯ as if body was made of snow , subduing to the elements with ease .

behind her was the weirwood ; the face of god etched into its bark , it was always the place she retreated to , there was something holy about being near it ; as if the gods too retreated to this particular place as well , to take in all that goes on . after all , was this not the heart of kings landing ? the very beginning &. the very end ?

legs were crossed , posture straight as her eyes shut ; hands resting lightly on lap as mind . for once , all seemed clear . so deep in a mediative state she swears she's able to see hallways , closed doors , half opened ⎯⎯⎯⎯ was that the castle ? it looks old , decayed ; a small twitch of eyebrows as confusion settles beneath bones , trailing towards a light ; there's voices , a familiar choir of accents that burned , unable to make it sound like one ⎯⎯⎯⎯ WITH FIRE &. BLOOD , I WILL TAKE IT . one foot in front of the other , trailing towards it , though with each step the door seemed to distance itself further ; a game of cat &. mouse , it became incredibly clear that in this war , she was the mouse .

back in the physical realm , body began to levitate off of the floor ; three or so inches from her once comfortable place on the weaving tree trunks , eyes flickering behind eyelids , trying to chase something that didn't want to be caught ; being blinded by colours &. imagery that seemed impossible to make out , instead causing a violent sharpness to begin from her eyes to the back of head .

THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT - THE ANTHOLOGY BY TAYLOR SWIFT PROMPT LIST *  assorted lyrics from the album, some lines slightly adapted for meme purposes but feel free to adjust as necessary

even if it's handcuffed, i'm leaving here with you.

trust me. i can handle a dangerous man.

i love you. it's ruining my life.

does it feel all right to not know me?

i am who i am 'cause you trained me.

quick. tell me something awful.

i loved you the way that you were.

we were just kids, babe.

i can fix him.

you and i go from one kiss to getting married.

you said i'm the love of your life.

way up there, i actually love it.

i just don't understand how you don't miss me.

do you hate me?

did you think i had it in me?

what if i told you i'm back?

i still miss the smoke.

i'm not trying to exaggerate, but i think i might die if it happened.

you look like stevie nicks.

it's hell on earth to be heavenly.

i still can't believe it.

this happens once every few lifetimes.

didn't you hear? they called it all off.

it's happening again.

my friends say it isn't right to be scared.

i might just die.

fuck you if i can't have us.

tell me about the first time you saw me.

are you gonna marry, kiss, or kill me?

no one's ever had me... not like you.

stay away from her.

there wouldn't be this if there hadn't been you.

i don't think you've changed much.

that's where i was when i lost it all.

life was always easier on you than it was on me.

i hoped you'd return.

do you believe me now?

what if your eyes looked up and met mine one more time?

what are the chances you'd be downtown?

is it something i did?

oh, we must stop meeting like this.

they say what doesn't kill you makes you aware.

i'm not a donor, but i'd give you my heart if you needed it.

looking backwards might be the only way to move forwards.

the story isn't mine anymore.

what a charming saturday!

none of it is changing.

wild winds are death to the candle.

one bad seed kills the garden.

i'm bitter, but i swear i'm fine.

this place made me feel worthless.

i didn't want to come down.

everything had been above board.

blood's thick, but nothing like a payroll.

you can mark my words that i said it first.

the professor said to write what you know.

all of this to say, i hope you're okay.

your words are still just ringing in my head.

i built a legacy which you can't undo.

who do i have to speak to to change the prophecy?

the effects were temporary.

no, i'm not coming to my senses.

babe, you gotta fake it 'til you make it.

you know you're good when you can even do it with a broken heart.

i guess a lesser woman would've lost hope.

thought of calling you, but you won't pick up.

you're a professional.

long may you reign.

you're an animal. you are bloodthirsty.

now i seem to be scared to go outside.

i don't believe in good luck.

i hate it here.

if i'd been there, i'd hate it.

only the gentle survived.

i'm lonely, but i'm good.

you have no room in your dreams for regrets.

i thought it was just goodbye for now.

are you still a mind reader?

let it once be me.

i haven't decided yet.

i still dream of him.

i'm so afraid i sealed my fate.

it was always the same searing pain.

i can't forgive the way you made me feel.

it wasn't a fair fight or a clean kill.

she used to say she wished that you were dead.

tell me all your secrets.

they tried to warn you about me.

you're in terrible danger.

i'm the life you chose.

yes, i'm haunted, but i'm feeling just fine.

no one asks any questions here.

tell me i'm despicable. say it's unforgivable.

i'm running back home to you.

you should see your faces.

you knew the price going in.

was any of it true?

who the fuck was that guy?

i don't ever want you back.

did you sleep with a gun underneath our bed?

you don't get to tell me you feel bad.

you wouldn't last an hour in the asylum where they raised me.

am i allowed to cry?

there's no such thing as bad thoughts. only your actions talk.

they're going to crucify me anyway.

i know i'm just repeating myself.

that's the closest i've come to my heart exploding.

    𝐇𝐄𝐀𝐃𝐂𝐀𝐍𝐎𝐍           (     TEAM GREEN   ,    TEAM BLACK  ?      )     ⎯⎯⎯⎯     𝒓𝒉𝒂𝒆𝒏𝒚𝒓𝒂'𝒔 𝒇𝒐𝒍𝒍𝒐𝒘𝒆𝒓𝒔 𝒘𝒊𝒍𝒍 𝒃𝒆𝒍𝒊𝒆𝒗𝒆 𝒂𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒚 𝒘𝒊𝒔𝒉 ,  𝒂𝒔 𝒘𝒊𝒍𝒍 𝒂𝒆𝒈𝒐𝒏𝒔    .        )  

this discussion surrounding coraline's family unity is incredibly complex , just as the dance of the dragons is . all of them divided by blood ,   honour   &.   their own personal gains  &.  what this dance means for them   &.   their standing  .    so going forward ,   this post will be a little messy ,   but easier to comprehend as a bullet pointed breakdown   .

coraline targaryen . 𝐔𝐍𝐈𝐓𝐄𝐃 𝐈𝐍 𝐆𝐑𝐈𝐄𝐅 ⎯⎯⎯⎯ oh this girl is not even pretending to be okay , it's impossible for her to just pick a side the way everyone else seems to . one of her greatest weaknesses &. strengths is remaining loyal to her blood , her kin , well , this is all family ; messy , dysfunctional , but family all the same . it's all that matters , its how she was raised &. it's not until the events of the usurping begin to unfold , she though it was how everyone else was raised too . it's not black &. white , it's not easy . morally ; she'll be able to understand that viserys crowned rhaenyra as his heir , that was his chosen . . . though where does that lead ? turning her back on the greens , who are just as important to the house of targaryen as the rest ? i do feel like she'll be forced to pick , but she'd honestly rather put her head to the sword than do so . during this time , she's incredibly sensitive , delicate &. unsure of herself ; but you can tell how much she just , loves all of them , with all their flaws &. disagreements ; in the end , all she wants is for the fighting to stop , she's all too aware of how childish this is of her which makes it all the more worse internally ; it's not simple , but for her , it really is just that simple .

vhamithor targaryen  .     𝐁𝐋𝐎𝐎𝐃 𝐈𝐒 𝐀𝐋𝐋 𝐓𝐇𝐀𝐓 𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐒      ⎯⎯⎯⎯      the leading man behind coraline's ideals   &.   her stance on how important it is to stay beside family , no matter the cost .  naturally , you would think this would instantly place him on the side of rhaenyra ,  though on the flip side  ;  he's is also an incredibly calculated man that wants      ⎯⎯⎯⎯      gold ,   status ,   power      ⎯⎯⎯⎯      meaning it would take some time for him to figure it out ;  having to dissect every little thing ,  every outcome      ⎯⎯⎯⎯      i believe it would take so long to decide it would make those deep in it uncomfortable      ⎯⎯⎯⎯      HE SEES THE GREEN'S ARGUMENTS , very clearly  ;   in fact ,  i believe he would feel more connected to otto   &.   alicent than anyone else in this conversation  .     but he could not stand beside them  &.  support the usurping of the throne  ,  eventually  ,  the dice would land on TEAM BLACK      ⎯⎯⎯⎯      THOUGH CRITICALLY  .   it would not be mindless supporting ,  he'd be very much in the corner , watching      ⎯⎯⎯⎯      NEEDING to be talked through every little thing that rhaenyra  &.  her side had planned   ;   he'd become another male voice on the council , i believe .

aeresanne barlaeris  .    𝐃𝐔𝐓𝐘 ,  𝐓𝐑𝐀𝐃𝐈𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍 ,  𝐒𝐀𝐂𝐑𝐈𝐅𝐈𝐂𝐄   ⎯⎯⎯⎯     a woman cut from the same cloth as alicent  ,   she would stand beside the greens due to her own belief on tradition  &.  duty   ;    there are somethings that shouldn't change  ,   the sucession of the crown is one of them   ;   all of this happened because viserys didn't wait  ,   didn't hold his ground   &.   refused to listen to advisors ,  being far too quick to jump at the chance to spurn daemon   ;    she'd be able to understand if there was a legitmate reason to make rhaenyra his heir  ,   but there's none    .    i believe that aeresanne looks to aegon as a boy that needs to grow into the crown  ,   seeing any failures at the fault of viserys   &.   preparing the wrong child    .  

valaella velaryon  .    𝐖𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐄 𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐆𝐎 𝐈 𝐆𝐎    ⎯⎯⎯⎯   valella may have taken the targaryen name through marriage , but she is made of the sea &. it lives inside her  &.  knows it doesn't take a sailor to see the storm on the horizon .   she loves her husband ,  her sister wife &.  every child under her own care       ⎯⎯⎯⎯      but she will go where house velaryon goes  ;  not for the sake of the targaryens , or the realm , but for herself  &.  for her house to remain as one  ,  i truly believes she sees the end of the targaryens before they do ;    as this war goes on , her loyalty lies with her own blood .  as corlys chooses rhaenyra ,  then that's where valaella will go  &.  will happily provide services when able .

𝐇𝐄𝐀𝐃𝐂𝐀𝐍𝐎𝐍  rewrite         (     views on incest   &.   importance of binding blood   ;   FROM CORALINE'S PERSPECTIVE ,  THEREFORE ROMANTIZIED      )     ⎯⎯⎯⎯     𝒍𝒆𝒕 𝒖𝒔 𝒃𝒊𝒏𝒅 𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒃𝒍𝒐𝒐𝒅  ,    𝒋𝒖𝒔𝒕 𝒂𝒔 𝒂𝒆𝒈𝒐𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒄𝒐𝒏𝒒𝒖𝒆𝒓𝒐𝒓 𝒅𝒊𝒅 𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝒉𝒊𝒔 𝒔𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒔    .        )    

incest  ,  is as you are all very much aware of is incredibly important to targaryen traditions    ⎯⎯⎯⎯     the emphasis of binding blood between family members is seen as a strength ,   something to be encouraged   &.   welcomed with open arms    ⎯⎯⎯⎯    obviously  ,   this stance this is something coraline grew up around  ,   another case of a targaryen child being groomed to believe something that truly shouldn't be normalized    ⎯⎯⎯⎯     though  ,   that's exactly what happens   &.   its for this reason coraline remains solid  ,   unwavering in her own beliefs that this is truly the way forward for the future not only for their house , but for herself     .     to bind the blood of the dragon is an honour    .    vhamithor   &.   coraline have their own complicated relationship    ;    coraline's wants    &.    desires often align with his own in every sense of the way    .   however   ,    we can also sympathize with him   ,    too   ,   being a victim that becomes the abuser and withholds the status quo as a domineering male figure    ;    for now   ,    that's a conversation for another day    .

the notion of sharing blood is something that is incredibly important to coraline   ,    it's sacred  ,   something holy      ⎯⎯⎯⎯      it is a religious act that strengthens faith &. loyalty       ⎯⎯⎯⎯      to the house , to the gods , to the dragon ;    to her   ,   there is nothing better   .

which means as she bares witness to the fall of the house  ,    as the cracks get wider    &.    the holes turn unfixable   ;   there is several emotions going on    ;   not only is that the decline of kin  ,   mourning death after death of her own people , witnessing their fires burn so bright , so lethal it turns in on themselves ; her own standing in the world        ⎯⎯⎯⎯         above all its the thinning of their blood   ,   taking away something that was precious to her ; she'll never be with a targaryen the same way as she did back when they were at the height of power   ;   when they owned the world   .

this belief , the way coraline is so set in the old ways of valyria ; makes her future isolation worse , unable to open herself up to non targaryens fully , always having this wall up because who can understand her , who can understand this flame benethe skin if they do not share the blood of the dragon , who else can read the forgotten ancient scroll that is burned benethe the flesh of every targaryen BUT a targaryen ? HOW LONELY IT IS TO BE A DRAGON .

HOUSE OF THE DRAGON SEASON ONE SENTENCE STARTERS

❛ I’d rather serve as a knight and ride to battle and glory. ❜

❛ We have royal wombs, you and I. The childbed is our battlefield. ❜

❛ I want to fly with you on dragonback, see the great wonders across the Narrow Sea, and eat only cake. ❜

❛ We must either act now or leave it with the gods. ❜

❛ The gods have yet to make a man who lacks the patience for absolute power. ❜

❛ I have only ever defended you! Yet everything I’ve given you, you’ve thrown back in my face. ❜

❛ To elude a storm, you can either sail into it, or around it. But you must never await its coming. ❜

❛ We should be free to speak our minds to one another. ❜

❛ I imagine even dragons get lonely. ❜

❛ I understand the order of things. I’m not sure you do. ❜

❛ If you mean to elicit some anger from me, you should know that you’re failing. ❜

❛ Men would sooner put the realm to the torch than see a woman ascend the Iron Throne. ❜

❛ I’m right here, the object of your ire. ❜

❛ Do it. And be done with all this bother. ❜

❛ Proud men don’t like having to look up. ❜

❛ Our worth is not given. It must be made. ❜

❛ None of it needs be this way in truth. ❜

❛ The boars squeal like children when they’re being slaughtered. I find it discomforting. ❜

❛ Even I do not exist above tradition and duty! ❜

❛ How lucky you are to have a say in your own life. ❜

❛ All that I have, I owe to you. ❜

❛ Well, if you truly believe that, my dear… then you possess a generous spirit. ❜

❛ I was trying to help you. Will you not be helped? Why must every effort on your behalf be resisted - as if to the death? ❜

❛ You wear a crown. Do you also call yourself “King”? ❜

❛ How romantic it must be to get imprisoned in a castle and made to squeeze out heirs. ❜

❛ Though I do suppose you seem changed by your adventures. More mature, perhaps. ❜

❛ Marriage is only a political arrangement. Once you are wed, you can do as you like. ❜

❛ You can not live your life in fear, or you will forsake the best parts of it. ❜

❛ I have no desire to live in fear. Only solitude. ❜

❛ This is a vile accusation. ❜

❛ I have spent a lifetime defending you. But your heart is even blacker than I thought. ❜

❛ You said I could have anything. I want [name]. I’ll take her as she is. ❜

❛ When one is never invited to speak, one learns instead to observe. ❜

❛ It’s long past time our houses were united in blood. ❜

❛ Let us leave it all behind and see the world together… where we’ll be nameless, and free… free to go where we like, to love as we like. ❜

❛ What will they say of me when the histories are written? ❜

❛ I deserve some say in the affairs of my own family. ❜

❛ Your obsession with those beasts goes beyond understanding. ❜

❛ The consequences of an allegation like the one you toy at would be dire. ❜

❛ Have I lost my sanity? Do my senses lead me astray? Or is everyone else asleep, dreaming the same woolly dream? ❜

❛ You have your honor and I have mine. ❜

❛ Dark rumors are hunting us. They nip at our heels. ❜

❛ The wise sailor flees the storm as it gathers. ❜

❛ How sweetly the fox speaks when it’s been cornered by the hounds. ❜

❛ You may do as you wish, when I am cold in my grave. ❜

❛ You may know what is the right thing to be done, but love stays the hand. ❜

❛ No matter how fat the leech grows, it always wants for another meal. ❜

❛ Mayhaps the gods have scorned us for our insatiable pride. ❜

❛ What is this brief mortal life if not the pursuit of legacy? ❜

❛ Each of us is capable of depravity. And more than you would believe. ❜

❛ I will have the truth of what happened. ❜

❛ This interminable infighting must cease! All of you! We are family! ❜

❛ There is a debt to be paid. ❜

❛ What have I done but what was expected of me? ❜

❛ Exhausting, wasn’t it? Hiding beneath the cloak of your own righteousness. But now they see you as you are. ❜

❛ We play an ugly game. And now, for the first time, I see that you have the determination to win it. ❜

❛ You and I are made of fire. We have always been meant to burn together. ❜

❛ They will fear what else we might be capable of. ❜

❛ And while I should like your support, I do not need it. ❜

❛ I would say it’s nice to be home, but I scarcely recognize it. ❜

❛ I’ve done everything you’ve asked me to, and I try so hard, but it will never be enough for you. ❜

❛ Hold your nerve. What we do, we do for the good of the realm. ❜

❛ I must confess a certain uneasiness now this is at hand. ❜

❛ A generous offer. Or a desperate one. ❜

❛ But tonight I wish you to see me as I am. ❜

❛ Let us no longer hold ill feelings in our hearts. ❜

❛ It is you. You are the one. You must do this. ❜

❛ His last words to me and I was the only one to hear it. And now he’s dead. ❜

❛ I recognize no authority but the King’s. And until there is one… I have no place here. ❜

❛ It is our fate, I think, to crave always what is given to another. If one possesses a thing, the other will take it away. ❜

❛ I will do you the considerable courtesy of assuming there is a good reason for the outrage of my treatment here this morning. ❜

❛ You are wiser than I believed you to be. ❜

❛ You desire not to be free, but to make a window in the wall of your prison. ❜

❛ There is no power but what the people allow you to take. ❜

❛ Our hearts were never one. I see that now. ❜

❛ No king has ever lived that hasn’t had to forfeit the lives of a few to protect the many. ❜

❛ Reluctance to murder is not a weakness! ❜

❛ We don’t choose our destiny. It chooses us. ❜

❛ Whatever claim remains to me, you are now its heir. ❜

❛ Naught is to be done but by my command. ❜

❛ Come with me. I’ll show you the true meaning of loyalty. ❜

❛ If you choose treachery, if you swear fealty now only to later turn your cloaks… know that you will die screaming. ❜

❛ Let’s end this mummer’s farce. ❜

❛ I do not wish to rule over a kingdom of ash and bone. ❜

❛ Dreams didn’t make us kings. Dragons did. ❜

❛ You abandoned me… when I most needed you. ❜

❛ Hope is the fool’s ally. ❜

❛ I will not fight you. I came as a messenger, not a warrior. ❜

𝐌𝐔𝐒𝐄 𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐓𝐔𝐒 ⎯⎯⎯⎯ small drabble of coraline being a little loony ! / this is the greatest show !

𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐢𝐬 𝐰𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐮𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐩𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐟𝐮𝐥 ; porcelain skin at the mercy to the sensation of icicles slicing harsh against the exposed areas of the riders wear ⎯⎯⎯⎯ though she would not complain , often enough the dragon keepers would scorn her for trying to leave so unprepared with shoddy outfits that were unsuited for the harsh conditions that the sky offered , you may feel like a god upon your dragon ⎯⎯⎯⎯ though you do not own the sky . they were right of course ; though she couldn't help it , enjoying every aspect of flying far too much to dappen it anyway , including the harsh realities of the elements that the gods controlled ( it's an argument always lost &. in truth , she respected the keepers far too much to ignore their advice . . . even if she fought it tooth &. nail )

leviathon glided through the air ; dipping &. diving between the clouds , forcing them to part from the intense whip of the large , leathery wings ; a low rumble of contentment travelling through his body , coraline reaching out to his neck &. patting against scales . her eyes trail down , watching the town below ; she always tried to remained near the sea ⎯⎯⎯⎯ as instructed by her father , as the prominent shadow that leviathon made was far too large &. disruptive for those trying to go on about their day ❛ naejot se embar , leviathon ❜ to the sea . coraline shouted , he turned ; blue eyes locking on to her with a knowing look ; in response , the girl merely grinned , all teeth as if a dragon herself ❛ zȳha jēda , ȳdra daor ao pendagon ? ❜ it's time , don't you think ? ❛ sōvegon eglie , hae tolmiot hae kostā jikagon ❜ fly high , as far as you can go .

he sighed through nose ; a small huff of smoke following as the dragon's body sharply turned . coraline is no stranger to performing tricks in the sky , it was always the final act of their routine ; hours of flying followed by decisions that could only be described as suicidal . her mother yelled at her for it ⎯⎯⎯⎯ HOW STUPID , HOW JUVINILE ! THESE ACTIVITIES ARE NOT THAT OF A MAIDEN ⎯⎯⎯⎯ her step mother had a more neutral stance , that it was indeed stupid , its true ; but there was no denying how coraline had control over both leviathon &. herself while in the air , yet it was slightly concerning how much she loved to dwell into actions that may very well end up with her becoming a cripple . her father understands both perspectives , though in this end ; this was an egg that killed infants , that scared dragon keepers . . . what a display it was for them to partake in their own dances in the sky , each time , he was merely more impressed .

as they made it to the sea , the dragon began to fly up &. up &. up ⎯⎯⎯⎯ gathering a small crowd beneath the harbour , common folks quickly making bets on weather or not if this would be the time if the princess would subdue to her own recklessness .

lungs began to ache from the height , only then did leviathon slow down , hovering in the air ⎯⎯⎯⎯ taking a look back to make sure that the rider was okay , coraline was shaking ; from head to toe , chest stuttering in faint fear , the adrenaline was always thrilling ; it was addictive , purple eyes find blue ; ready ⎯⎯⎯⎯ ? their eyes spoke , both of their gazes filled with fire , leviathon grumbled low ( HE SEEMS TO TENSE AS HE HEARS THE BELT CLICK ) - coraline takes a breath then , climbing out the saddle &. clinging to the the nets ; after another breath , a heart beat , she jumps .

❛ SHIT , SHIT ! HOLY SHIT ❜ she's laughing while the words are swallowed by the wind , voice so distant there's a small belief that settles in that they were never spoken in the first place . the wind seems to cradle her ; a heaviness on back as she began to fall , eyes falling shut , inhaling slow ; as if welcoming the deep , mediative state that body tried to get locked in , a sleepiness that exists along side the adrenaline . was this what dying was like ? a never ending sensation of floating while the sensation of gods seemed to watch ? she could get used to this , wants to experience this forever . it was only the sound of the navigation of wings are what causes eyes to open , watching with a childlike wonder as leviathon began to move his large body to align with her own .

she does her best to turn , though there's no denying the struggle ; barrel rolling in the air to watch the sights from a birds eye view ; oh , the sea is a darker blue to the sky , though coraline can't help but associate them both as one entity ⎯⎯⎯⎯ AS ABOVE , SO BELOW . briefly thinking what it'd be like if she allowed herself to fall into it ; would it feel like this ? would she continue to fall &. fall &. if so , where would she go ? what would become of the body ? there's no want to reach out &. grab hold of the saddle net ; the only thing that makes her do so is how leviathon inched as close as he could ; a low rumble , a warning , it was becoming too close ; he could see the way her body turned red from the harshness of the environment , the way eyes became blood shot .

keligon issare doru-borto . stop being stupid . it's ominous ; several voices mixed into one ; like a choir , low &. distant . it causes her to stare at leviathon for a moment ; eyebrows creasing in brief confusion , the saddle inching closer as he turned on his side so she could reach out and grab the safety net .

hand reaches out , grabbing hold of it &. flinging herself back on the saddle ; it hurt , an instant bruising sensation creeping on thighs &. shooting through legs ; its then as leviathons claws graze against the sea ; belt is locked once more .

❛ lets jikagon lenton , valītsos ❜ let go home , boy . she says , hanging on a breath as she takes a sharp breath while speaking ; lungs doing their best to recover . they will be doing it again , the thought is one what had leviathon shaking his head ; gliding over the crowd that was cheering them on .

❛ i . . . don't believe that ❜ spoken slowly , a contemplative look on features reflecting back to ava ; while coraline understood the sentiment , it's not one she could get behind . after all , in her view , you could know someone for decades &. still not know who they are ⎯⎯⎯⎯ there will always be an ugliness , a sadness , a hint of violence that lingers just beneath the surface that nobody ever truly knows about , dark thoughts only silenced by the existence of others , by people being in proximity ; when duty &. responsibilities force light on the shadows , taking reins &. making someone swallow it down . the moment the sun lowers , bringing in the night sky , it would always creep up throat ; like a sickness , scratching &. clawing , forced to hide it away by diving under the covers of sheets like a scared little child after a nightmare until the sun rose &. the next day begins , a never ending cycle . at least that was her experience , finding herself hoping she's indeed correct in thought process ; the thought of showing anyone the piece of her locked up in a cage is enough to send a uncomfortable shot through stomach .

❛ we're all hiding &. some are hiding better than others , which is why most of us are die never being known ❜ it's a comforting thought , it's something that she'll pray to to gods where she's one of those ; the thought of history seeing her as she is when alone was incredibly daunting .

𝒘𝒉𝒆𝒏 𝒅𝒓𝒂𝒈𝒐𝒏𝒔 𝒈𝒐 𝒕𝒐 𝒘𝒂𝒓 ! 𝐻𝐸𝐴𝐷𝐶𝐴𝑁𝑂𝑁 : no matter the timeline / verse , i am a firm believer that coraline REFUSES to send leviathon to war ; he is a large dragon , would make a fierce ally for whichever side chosen . however the mere thought of losing him is enough to send coraline into a panic attack , would send him away quicker than you can say dracarys . i am absolutely open to plots / conversations where he does die by rival muses , because it would be fun to explore ⎯⎯⎯⎯ coraline would go batshit insane , would become unwell &. that infamous targaryen madness would break down the dam in an instant - they are so incredibly connected , each of their existence woven into each others souls ; this break down on top of her magic ? whewww . in my own personal stories , outside plots / future connections , i will never have the heart to make it canon that leviathon &. her are seperated by death . in a story where the character is doomed , they gotta have a little something to get out of bed .
