For use!

There's this weird thing going on Reddit right now where people are claiming that legally, Rhaenyra children are not bastards. And I was wondering if you agree or disagree. I think that people are just making up their own canon lore at this point.

Well. Okay I think I’m about to give an answer that is a little spicy but when I get around to my ultimate point I think everyone is going to go "yeah it makes sense that's how you feel, that tracks." Let me start with a personal story to be extra annoying-

My mom, after separating from my dad, swore of marriage. Marriage derailed her life, it had derailed my grandma's life, so she decided that even if she truly fell in love again, she would stay unmarried because clearly marriage jinxes love. She met my stepdad and as he had been divorced three times (and bitterly each time too) he agreed. He proposed to her but it was really just a commitment thing - I promise I am all in on this relationship, and by wearing this ring, you promise too. He moved in. They had one of my siblings, K, and still remained unmarried despite pushback from a few relatives and friends.

And then my stepdad needed knee surgery. And my mom couldn't put a domestic partner on her insurance. So a week before my second sibling, B, was born, after my aunt finished teaching summer school for the day, on what was a random Thursday afternoon, we all put on some nice clothes, piled into the van, and went down to city hall where they got hitched and I cried while everyone made fun of me because their toddler was literally running around the waiting room, it was not a big deal! My parents were both wearing jeans!!! We went to Baker's Square after, not even a nice restaurant! Do you know how this marriage has affected K and B? Not even a little! Do you know why?

BECAUSE NONE OF THIS MATTERS.

There is no moral or biological difference between a child born in wedlock and a child born outside of it. If you put K and B's blood under a microscope and I didn't tell you the ages would you be able to tell the difference between them? Would you be able to figure out which one of my siblings is a bastard and which one is trueborn? No, you would not because the difference doesn't exist biologically, ontologicaly, ecologically, anthropologically, whatever ology you want to bring up, and I think what this fandom finds most frustrating is that there is also no legal difference because LAWS ARE MADE UP. THEY DONT FUCKING MATTER. THEY ARE MAN MADE. I need this fandom to kill the prosecutor that lives in their head and stop arguing over whether Rhaenyra’s oldest boys are ~really~ bastards or not. The “truth” of this is just as it is for my family - it’s completely emotional, situational, and dependent on the feelings of the people involved in it!

Alicent & Otto & Criston, in both the books and the show, have an ulterior motive to insist that legally Rhaenyra’s boys are bastards. They can talk about propriety and legality all they want, but not only were those boys raised and loved by Laenor & Corlys, the concepts of marriage & wedlock & legitimacy are merely tools used to keep people in their place, something those three are very aware of because Otto manipulates the law in order to cut Daemon out of the line of succession which is exactly what kicks off this conflict in the first place! Corlys & Laenor & Rhaenyra have completely different but still existent ulterior motives to insist that legally the boys are true born. They can talk about “well technically” and cite whatever law or precedent they want but again, this same insistence on their legitimacy is a cover for the fact that if they ARE admitted to be not Laenor’s, they all lose access to power.

Not only that, but both Rhaenyra and Alicent become insistent on these competing legalities because they are worried the other will kill their children. Alicent all but confirms that she would have killed them if Rhaenyra had accepted terms with her nasty comment about their deaths when Rhaenyra takes the capital, but Rhaenyra throws her own insistence that she won’t hurt her siblings out the window with b&c.

So yeah, people are making up their own canon lore here because both Otto and Rhaenyra are ALSO making up their own canon lore here. That’s the entire point. Both of these sides have their own agendas, their own very rational fear of the other, and instead of realizing they have to compromise just a bit to get out of the shitshow they’ve found themselves in, they escalate at every turn until they’re all dead and so are their dragons.

The point is - I think everyone is missing here that George is making fun of you nerds who spent all your time insisting they’re bastards or not and debating the legality ad nauseum. He has Stannis ranting about the sanctity of the line of succession and House Baratheon and everyone misses that Stannis is a fucking loser for this because the line started one generation ago and if he didn't want Robert overthrown by Cersei maybe he should have made sure Robert wasn't raping and beating her all the time!! It is the same exact thing here!! If they didn't want Rhaenyra to have bastards, they shouldn't have jerked her around as heir for years then trapped her in a marriage she resented to fix their stupid ass mistakes and if they didn't want the whole thing to escalate into a bloody war, they shouldn't have murdered Luke and Jaehaerys!! That simple!!!!

LEGITIMACY AND MARRIAGE ARE NOT REAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Worst Dad You Know Has an Extremely Endearing (Now) Reoccurring Character Trait

For further context: this whole FB involved Sharena and Henriette seeking out lockpickers in the Order of Heroes to open this VERY SECURELY locked box from Gustav's room that took Tina's special staff to finally crack open (or rather -- "steal" the contents out of. No one could actually break the lock!)

And the first instance of this!

It makes me wonder if he saved anything related to Sharena..........

established ship question. in any/all verses, with any/all ships, have your character/s speak about that ship's intimate & sexual dynamic, and how they feel about it. Intimacy w/Minfilia

With glowing embers for cheeks Odette lifted her hands to palm her face. Her grin is wide and dimpled and it turns pale, mismatched eyes to bright crescents. A nervous giggle bubbles past lips parted in surprise and she curls in on herself as if to contain it. Once it has eased she sits up with gaze cast to the side.

“Well… it is like… So, you see… Ah -- Well -- Okay, so --” Giving up, Odette’s grin goes lopsided, at once sheepish and apologetic. Her gaze flited over the asker’s eyes briefly; never quiet connecting. She drew a breath and when she continued her voice was soft, barely above a prayer, and steady.

“I have never felt this way about someone. I know love, I am blessed with an abundance of it in my little corner of the star, but I do not know it like this. Rather, I didn’t know it like this. I had not realized how much of me was longing until I saw her that first time. Then when we actually -- spoke. Something in me sighed in relief, something inside of me said ‘finally.’”

Her hands press to her midsection, to still the butterflies whose frantic movements are mimicked in the sweep of dark lashes.

“It is easy to look back and see the moments between us where we understood we were nurturing… something, yes? I do not think either of us knew exactly what it would be. We could say any one of those moments were the start but, truthfully, I initiated things. After that first pri-- after Ifrit.” Odette corrected herself with a wince and crystalline eyes frosted over as she was swept, momentarily, into the past.

She returned to herself with a little shake as if warding off a sudden chill.

“... I was buzzing, afterward. I was a bit of a liability on most fields of combat, you see, and so when it had to be me I was certain I walked to my death.” Odette interrupted herself with a private little chortle before continuing, her gentle voice echoing with it, “I barely recall the fight, nor the events after. My memory picks up again in the solar. I have always liked that name for the room, you know, as if a room could house the Sun… but I suppose it did do a well enough job, all things considered.”

“Anyroad -- I know Thancred guided me here, Lover bless him, and placed me before Minfilia for our debrief. I know not what he said, only that he did most of the talking. All I could think about was Minfilia and her hands. They were calloused, you know, from their time holding a pickaxe. The first time she touched me I felt every ridge of her palm and then, wounds only just cleaned, it was all I could think about. Her hand on my skin.”

Odette’s smile is back - it never really left, her lips were made to smile - but it is wistful and distant. Her gaze pinned to a space beyond this one, carried there on the memory of her one great love.

“I was clumsy. I had never kissed anyone before, let alone a woman like Minfilia. She laughed at me, you know,” there is no wounded pride here, only the building of the nun’s own ugly chortle as she shook her head. “The things I have done to hear her laugh! The things I would do to… She laughed in relief, I think, and it gave me the courage to laugh as well.”

The blush crawled lazily back into her cheeks and she made a couple vague gestures with her hands, “I know there are words that people use but I am -- unfamiliar with them. Minfilia was a natural leader, and I a natural follower. This remained true in most aspects of our life together; she led and I followed. She showed me how important it is to play and to laugh. It is easy for me to... overlap my Love with Menphina, my most holy bride. For Menphina teaches us that of the endless ways to show love, laughter is one of the greatest. Minfilia knew this. We lived this. Our work was heavy but when we were together the burden was nothing, was a stray thought."

“She unfolded my heart and pressed her love to each corner and in doing so showed me her own; unfurled and free and breathtaking. There is no inch of her I did not know, no desire I had not tried to fulfil. When the moon was full and we were able too, we would make love beneath the glow of Her heavenly light…”

“I miss her.”

Thank you for the ask @the-sycophant!
