#Thoughts Of A Dreamer

[living-in-the-state-of-dreaming]

Okay so I am not simping or pulling for Chiori because I'm pulling for Itto; but I just had a thought.

Imagine this: Chiori personally designing, tailoring and making all of her s/o's clothing and that includes lingerie. Just so she can have the privilege and pleasure of knowing you are personally wearing it; only to later have the pleasure of taking it slowly off of you later. She already knows your measurements, your sizing, what colours and patterns suit you best, it's just another way of proving you're hers.

The primary reason I love the Greens is that they are so messed up. They are not perfect, they are not disinfected and favored by the narrative, and they are raw to the bone; they are real.

Aegon is as real as a devastated and soul-crushed father gets whose grief translates to anger and violence. Helaena’s silent inner turmoil and anguish haunt the Red Keep. Alicent has become a wreck as she weighs this tragedy the only way she knows how: against her own failed moral compass, holding herself responsible.

Otto sees his strings of power stretch and snap as he pursues the unattainable dream once more. Criston feels unworthy and consoles himself with the deception that he remains unsullied by still bearing a white cloak to his name, having been absolved of his original oath-breaking years before. And Aemond refuses to acknowledge any weakness or softness in front of his family so he seeks consolation elsewhere.

This green family doesn’t know how to process emotions, doesn’t know how to grieve together, and can’t find solace in each other’s suffering despite yearning for comfort. Otto doesn’t know how to comfort Alicent, Alicent doesn’t know how to comfort Aegon, and Aegon doesn’t know how to comfort Helaena.

Larys exerts his influence and puppeteers Alicent to his own liking by giving her a much-desired grasp of agency over political affairs. Alicent finds escape in undiscovered indulgences that give her the intoxicating illusion of control over a lifetime of servitude. Criston succumbs to the addictive drug of being desired and wanted on equal terms. The Greens live in a vicious circle of unhealed trauma, a bottomless pit of fears and insecurities, and a tangled web of deception and control.

They are wounded, dysfunctional, and forsaken, and that makes them so intriguing.

if Blue Sargent is half tree-person and Ronan Lynch is a sentient forest does that make them kin? Tree cousins? Forest family?

hennessy. hennessy. hennessy i am thinking of you. i am thinking about the significance of first vs last names in trc/tdt. how the difference between when ronan says “parrish” vs when he says “adam” MATTERS. there is softness, there is feeling in both but they are so very different. and i am thinking about how hennessy only has her last name, how she gave jordan — her first dreamt copy, her first real companion as a child — her first name. hennessy has Half a name, she is half a person. and the half she chose was the last name, the name that is arguably less yours. a last name is your Family name, it is something that signifies your place in a group, but without a first name, it does not differentiate you from the group — hennessy gave up her individuality by giving up her first name to jordan, becoming less real, less her in the process. but hennessy would always choose to do this because jordan is hennessy’s other half and she views her as her better half. and so she gave jordan the first name, because to hennessy, jordan is the orginal, better, jordan hennessy.

The Raven Cycle is great because you go into it thinking it's another weird YA romance and then you get thrown into four (or seven if you read the sequel trilogy) books of batshit insane magic and then at the end of it you find out it really was a love story the whole time

See's a Sylus post on Reddit.

Me: Oh....I'll...Give it a listen.. Surely it..Won't be super mean...

Turns on sound and the first word that's voiced is:

Sylus: " Darling. "

Me: ( Mentally ) AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! D///////////x MISTAKES WERE MADE!!!!

[cryinglookingatsoulages]

honestly ronan calling himself a dad in cdth is just him overcompensating for the fact that in pynch relationship he is clearly a mom. taking demonic children out of his dreamwomb. ovulating 24/7. manic giant nightmare girling in every single book. don’t worry sweetie, declan being a malewife does not cancel out you being one as well. it’s in your dna, go thank niall.

"electric car or car that runs on gasoline?" no boo, these:

[greenqueenhightower]

This image shocks me immensely because of:

a) the horror and determination engraved on Alicent’s face

b) Heleana watching her mother defending (and holding onto) Aemond in the background.

I think that the incident at Driftmark had a different potency on each of Alicent’s kids, but especially upon Heleana it must have impressed the idea that “a mother fights for her child no matter what” and that she doesn’t stay silent.

I can only imagine how Heleana feels after B&C, but the sense of being unable to protect and stand up for her son must be devastating.

And further than that, Heleana must be repelled by the idea of being coerced and finally having chosen to sacrifice one of her own kids. She probably feels that she has failed as a mother. That unlike Alicent, she has no right to demand justice for Jaehaerys’ murder because she herself chose him over Maelor. Maybe she blames herself for not doing enough to save him (even if she offered up her own life instead of her children’s), and possibly compares her efforts to defend her children with Alicent’s defense of Aemond. In essence, she probably tragically feels that she offered up one of her children herself instead.

In any case, this is such a heartbreaking and unsettling position to be in and it makes the emotional and psychological toll she consequently suffered all the more unbearable, because even if she drew courage and strength from and tried to imitate her mother’s actions, nothing could have ever prepared her for this.

heyyy gentlest reminder, my friends, that you do not have to disclose your trauma and mental illnesses to justify your age regression. it's perfectly fine to regress/dream "just because" and strangers are not entitled to your sensitive information/past just because they want to validate it FOR you. don't let anyone make you feel like you have to explain yourself just for coping/soothing/self-parenting in a way that feels good + healing for YOU. there is no criteria to meet to be yourself!

but also, it IS sensitive information and there are some people around the community especially predators who will use that information to get closer to you and/or hurt you. so please practice internet safety, be careful who you share your details with, and block ANYONE who doesn't seem right or play nice.

protect your space and be safe everyone! 🙏

Blood & Cheese is going to be such an awful scene to get through. Even GRRM said that it is too dark for television. I hate Daemon and Mysaria with every fiber in my body. They decided to go after the most innocent and vulnerable. Daemon didn’t say anything to Rhaenyra about it because he knew she wouldn’t allow it. I love Helaena and her children. They don’t deserve any of this.
