i love you, “the last of us”, not only for your ability to tell a heartbreaking story about selfishness, revenge, and what it means to be whole, but also for emphasizing that no matter how dire, humans will fight tooth and nail for every scrap of joy they can find. joel will play the guitar. dina will dance. ellie will sing. jj will watch sunsets. people will throw parties and fall and love and grow frivolous plants like strawberries just for a chance at sweetness. joy becomes hope persevering.

RHAENYRA TARGARYEN House of the Dragon — 1.08

[rhaenyrasstrapholder]

Whenever I see people quoting/referencing/parodying My Immortal it’s always one of the same four or five lines. You know the ones.

The iconic opening paragraph, “Hi my name is Ebony Dark’ness Dementia Raven Way and I have long ebony black hair… (et cetera).”

“WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING YOU MOTHERFUKERS!”

“I MAY BE A HOGWARTS STUDENT… BUT I AM ALSO A SATANIST!”

“Then he put his thingie into my you-know-what and we did it for the first time.”

“And Loopin was masticating to it!”

As great as those are, I’d like to throw a spotlight on what I think are some of the underappreciated parts of this classic work of fanfiction.

Ebony puts blood on her Count Chocula cereal instead of milk.

Enoby is canonically a weeaboo and speaks to her friends in Fangirl Japanese.

Harry’s scar is now a pentagram instead of a lightning bolt, so either he found some sort of spell to alter the appearance of the scar or he actually took the time to carve a pentagram into his forehead.

There is an OC named either Tom Riddle or Tom Rid who works at a “punkgoff” store in Hogsmeade and has absolutely nothing to do with Voldemort, he just happens to have the exact same name.

Tara somehow got Fred and George mixed up with Crabbe and Goyle.

The reason Snape doesn’t like Harry in this fic is because Snape is Christian and Harry is a Satanist.

Marty McFly literally appears out of nowhere to help Enoby travel through “tim” with his “tim machine.”

Chapter 11 ends with Hagrid singing along to “a gothic version of a song by 50 Cent.”

Voldemort inexplicably speaks in Ye Olde Butcherede Englishe.

Voldemort wears high heels.

Draco has a flying black Mercedes-Benz and a black MCR broom.

Snape has a Dork Mark on his penis.

Speaking of penises, Draco is apparently “hung like a stallone.” I guess Tara is a Rambo fan?

The Hedwig/Voldemort sex scene, wherein Hedwig is a male human instead of a female owl, for some reason.

Dumbledore flies around on his broomstick while holding a loaf of rye bread. At least, that’s what I think Tara meant by “Sudenly a gothic old man flu in on his broomstick. He had lung black hair and a looong black bread.”

Oh yeah, and Dumbledore is an Avril Lavigne fanboy, because of course he is.

James Potter’s “goff” nickname is Samoro, because Tara erroneously believes this to be the masculine form of the name Samara.

Draco’s singing voice is described as “a cross between Gerard, Joel, Chester, Pierre and Marilyn Manson.”

Tara’s brief feud with her editor Raven, as chronicled in the author’s notes, may or may not have had something to do with Raven borrowing Tara’s sweater and not giving it back. IDK, it’s unclear.

Voldemort smokes a “gothic blak Nightmare b4 Christmas cigar.”

McGonagall has the best insults, like “horny simpletons” and “mediocre dunces” and probably some others I’m forgetting.

Dobby only appears once in the entire fic and literally all he does is watch Snape and Lupin have sex, and then run away crying.

Sirius is referred to as Harry’s dogfather, and not gonna lie, even if it was a typo I think that is a genuinely clever pun.

The Hogwarts janitor may or may not be Chuck Norris.

Tara accurately predicted how Harry would defeat Voldemort in Deathly Hallows. No, really. “nd den hairy wil have 2 kommit suicide so voldimort will die koz he will rilly be a horcrox!!!!!111”

This line: “Snap stated loafing meanly. He took out a kamera anvilly.”

And this one: “‘Crosio!’ I shited pointing my wound. Snoop scremed and started running around da room screming.”

“Azerbaijan”

“Hoes of Wax”

“Tom Bombodil”

“Cornelio Fuck”

“Professor Slutborn”

“Preacher McGongol”

“Lumpkin”

“TaEbory”

“The Bark Lord”

 “Vadermort”

The way I could let rhaenyra rawdog me with her 9inch dragonsteel strap as I beg her for more. And I’ll for sure take it like a good girl since she’s working overtime as a queen. I’ll let her use me as much as she wants! Be ready in her headquarters, patient and eager to please my queen forever

"(...) there were always rings on her fingers. Whenever she was anxious, she would turn them compulsively around."

— George R.R. Martin about Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen.

Look at the colour of her rings:

A black stone for Jace, he’ll be crowned King Jacaerys I Targaryen and continue the Targaryen dynasty.

Turquoise stone for Luke, he’ll be Lord Velaryon, Lord of the Tides and Master of Driftmark.

A plain gold band for Joffrey because unlike his older brothers his future hasn’t been set in stone, he can choose his own destiny.

When Rhaenyra’s anxious she holds her sons close, maybe out of reassurance that as long as she has them everything will be alright.

But we know it won’t be 💔

“Where is duty?”

“Where is sacrifice?”

Emma D'arcy and their fans dont realized puting their opinion and judgement on a character was unprofessional move and it just prove that Emma can't act except when they just potraying themself.

no wonder they dont have any intimate scene with the guy who plays as her lover and father to her three kids but they can show Alicent and Criston who have nothing in the book because Olivia is hot, funny because we get a lot of adult scene in Fire and Blood with Rhaenyra and Harwin and Daemon but apparently they hired this actor.

If they want Olivia to be the main character so bad why they dont hire her as Rhaenyra she actually had more age appropriate to her (Rhaenyra) than to Alicent, is so bad how can we got Emilia and Harry to whatever is this as Targaryen.

I will not criticise anyone's appearance. But I agree that if they were so obsessed with Olivia they should have casted her as Rhaenyra, maybe that way we would have a more canon Rhaenyra.

So, I do want to start by saying that obviously people are allowed to dislike whatever character they want. This narrative just pisses me off so deeply. Before I touch on why the "five" bastards argument is stupid, let me talk about the biggest problem with this. The bastards do not matter. Otto Hightower suggested and supported that Rhaenyra be named heir with the intentions of later usurping the throne from her. He was already pushing Alicent towards Viserys with the hope of them marrying and producing male heirs. If Rhaenyra was named heir, and not Daemon, his own grandchildren would have a much better chance of taking that claim. Her claim was sabotaged from the beginning. And while, yes, Westerosi law is clear about sons inheriting before daughters, she did not have any brothers when she was named heir. Regardless, why do we suddenly care so much about Westerosi law? If things were truly fair, Rhaenys would have been Queen. Viserys named Rhaenyra heir and all of the lords swore fealty to her. As far as the "five" bastards thing goes. Laenor was thought to be dead, and Rhaenyra and Daemon married in the tradition of Old Valyria, not The Seven. Their children were legitimate. Although, for fuck's sake, she could have a dozen bastards or none. It doesn't matter. That's the point.

Showverse Rhaenyra is so incredibly stupid that she has produced not three but five bastards.

Unlike in the books, where Laenor died, Laenor lived in the show. But Rhaenyra married Daemon anyway, despite her still being married to Laenor.

The last time a Targaryen had multiple spouses it was Maegor and it was denounced as a sin and he was exiled. It was only accepted later, and then only barely, because he was a psychopathic tyrant.

So then Rhaenyra’s marriage to Daemon is not a legitimate marriage. And if their marriage is not legitimate, then their sons aren’t either.

Well done, Rhaenyra, you produced five bastards and completely ruined your own claim to the throne. Aside from the part where you don’t actually have a claim because Westerosi law is clear that sons inherit before daughters and you have three brothers, one of whom has a son of his own.

people often cite otto’s manipulation and resultant damnation of alicent—wherein she is his political pawn and subjected to essential marital rape for the sake of his schemes—but not many realize viserys is guilty of a similar crime. he named rhaenyra heir on a political whim, using her as his pawn to spite daemon among other things, and opened her up to pedestalization dehumanization and ridicule at a young age where she had just lost her mother. this, whether he could have predicted it or not, led to her uncle’s long term grooming to come to a headway and end with her drunk and naked in a brothel so that daemon could get back at him.

Sometimes I see the most unhinged negative rant about a character I love and I have to do everything in my power to reel it in bc people have different opinions then me it’s okay !!! (Sometimes)
