༺✹༻ NOT TO BE DRAMATIC . . .
but i have wanted an anastasia inspired / amnesia au since i started this blog in 2019. it is currently 2023. where rhaenys survives king's landing but gets lost during the escape and loses her memory, and winds up just wandering around existing, searching for a family she knows she once had. probably trying to get to dragonstone, honestly.
i still do not have my anastasia au.
and that is a crime.

Expanding a thought from a conversation this morning:
In general, I think "Is X out-of-character?" is not a terribly useful question for a writer. It shuts down possibility, and interesting directions you could take a character.
A better question, I believe, is "What would it take for Character to do X?" What extremity would she find herself in, where X starts to look like a good idea? What loyalties or fears leave him with X as his only option? THAT'S where a potentially interesting story lies.
In practice, I find that you can often justify much more from a character than you initially dreamed you could: some of my best stories come from "What might drive Character to do [thing he would never do]?" As long as you make it clear to the reader what the hell pushed your character to this point, you've got the seed of a compelling story on your hands.

༺✹༻ no thoughts, head empty.
sometimes i think about what rhaenys' life would be if she wasn't bound by her overpowering need to avenge elia and aegon or the absolute pressure doran has her under to reclaim the iron throne. if rhaenys could choose, she would always avenge elia and aegon, without question. she would kill the mountain - first torturing, dismembering, and forcing him through unfathomable pain - and tywin and all those who stand beside him . . . but she doesn't want the throne. she never has. no targaryen could ever sit the iron throne again.
rhaenys is convinced if she takes it, anyone she loves, or holds dear, will be hurt because of her. fire can only burn. the targaryens are dangerous. she is dangerous.
if rhaenys had it her way, she'd say fuck it all, and she'd forsake her name and titles and all else around her, and she'd sail. she'd find a ship and join a crew and venture on the open water, venturing from place to place across the world. she'd see all the wonders of the world, venture into every city, she'd experience the freedom and joys a free person can have. how glorious it would be.
in the end, rhaenys would choose a life of peace and adventure. but she doesn't get to have that choice . . . so, in her own mind, she tells herself she is choosing the iron throne, choosing to avenge her family, choosing to be a queen, even if it makes watching a part of herself burn.
