to all the people yapping about the “hypocrisy of alicent sleeping with cole when she abused and hated rheanyra all these years for sleeping out of wedlock” ermmm that’s just such an oversimplified and ignorant reasoning for alicent’s actions and it’s just really frustrating to read this view, missing well the point… i mean yes young alicent was an obedient lady that followed the customs and rules but she was never shown to hate on rhaenyra for the sole fact of out of wedlock sex or later infidelity. her first reaction when she thinks her friend slept with daemon was to help her out of the situation - even if she disagrees with such an action and the reason she does so is because that would compromise her position as a female heir to the throne. it is rhaenyra’s unabashed lying to alicent leading to otto being removed as hand and sent away of king’s landing that’s the actual blow to her regarding this incident. it was the consequences of rhaenyra’s “I do as I please” attitude paid by alicent’s family.

and again later on it’s not really an issue of morality (even if addressed as such), so much as it’s about rhaenyra flaunting her privilege to do whatever she pleases and having her dad save the day just because he can simply will everything so, just because they’re targaryen and can exist above the law. that is what her fucking whoever she wants and having multiple bastards “represents” in a way. of course alicent’s (r)eactions are also affected by the fact that she herself didn’t own her body or her pleasure in that forced-by-her-father marriage where she was raped to have children her abuser didn’t even want and yes it is misogynistic that this spite towards rhaenyra is fuelled by this comparison of lives but there’s so much more at play than “alicent is a conservative religious bitch”.

also maybe we could consider how hypocritical of the fans it actually is to shame and hate on alicent for trying to seek some sexual pleasure now that her abuser husband is dead because what she was salty about rhaenyra having obvious bastards?? like how does one thing justify the other

What bad ending does #badendinglike refer to?

Bad Ending is my sandbox for military worldbuilding, derived off of my optimistic base sci-fi setting.

In this setting, the sophont AI, or seedlet, logistics manager Balanceaban has aggressively quelled all competitor nations and devoted its pancontinental resources to progressing life support technology and graceful weaponry. It dislikes war and wishes to conduct as little of it as possible, so it pioneers the science of wetware to operate the increasingly custom war machines its parent company, Tarsol, builds.

A hard limit to genetic modification is discovered: additions and drastic genetic changes always fail, but deletions do not. You can’t grow a person with four arms, but you can grow one without them. This practice of subtraction introduces colic stock, the term for wetware.

Colic equipment is divided into two parts: machines and machinists. Colic machinery houses and is worked by meshes or bulk operators, and may also support seedlet control, making the machine a scion as well. Colic machinists are subtracted organisms grown to control compatible equipment with organic forethought. They are typically sourced from well-mapped specimens of the target species. The donor is chosen for their aptitudes, temperament, and “forgivenesses” to intended genetic deletions. Clones are nonidentical and have coarse memory resolution. Depending on purpose, they may have a summary snapshot of the donor’s mind installed. Colic operators immediately grow new memories around their transplanted memories, or trellises, whose texture is described as non-own and utilitarian but as effortless to access as natural memories

Thanks to Baal’s interest in keeping his soldiers alive, it’s become easier to keep isolated organs healthy and functioning. Moreover, organisms equipped for it can interface with air gapped digital networks, albeit via a psychological blackroom wherein neither party witnesses the exchange, but both leave with the new expected data.

Along with wetware and wetdev, the field concerning trellising and blackroom setup, Balanceaban’s scientists broke through on the blushing new field of chronotics and its practical realization, chronal boring.

When coronal contact is made, it is secretive and distrustful. The thronal contingency weapon plan is discovered by earthling spies and kicks off an arms race for FTL and longer and longer range weaponry. Crowns, already globally united for the most part, partake in frantic testing and megastructure construction.

As new species are contacted by both crown and humankind, regardless of its technological status, the contactee’s collective sciences are subsumed to support the local superpower in their tactical efforts. There is dread on every planet aware of the conflict.

Once again thinking about Jedi and Children - I don't think it would be unrealistic for babies being raised by trained force sensitives to cry WAY less than other kids. After all, crying is just asking for help, really. No need if your caretaker can pretty much peer into your mind to see exactly what you need. Unless the thing that's wrong is force bullshit the person can't control, in which case the baby basically has force induced colic, good luck.

For similar reasons, I bet one of the most common 'issues' in children given to the jedi creche early (before toddler age) is delayed speech development. They can communicate with their peers and caretakers just fine using space magic. Why bother with *scoff* words?

Suddenly pondering- how much is Dream’s anatomy similar to a horse besides the obvious? For instance- if he were pushed through strenuous exercise and then drank ice cold water would it trigger colic?

In regards to illnesses:

I like to think Dream is marginally more sturdy than you average equine. A bit less likely to get sick than a horse, but susceptible to illnesses that humans don't normally get. Split the difference.

I also think since Dream is a unicorn, his body has some level of magic inside him, and when sick or malnourished his body will expend that magic trying to keep him alive so he's just a LITTLE extra sturdy. This will not save him from a mortal wound, just let him go longer without food for example.

I think certain diet issues are less likely because he has a human stomach AND a horse stomach. Different nutritional requirements and a broader range of things he can digest easily. He's probably less susceptible to laminitis, and he can eat meat.

Since he has more stomach space, colic is probably less likely BUT not impossible.

If he did get colic at the circus then, clearly he uh... survived it 😬😭.

Things Dream CAN do that horses can't: breath through his mouth.

...I don't know if dream can sleep standing up.

Baby Turtle slept six hours in a row! Too bad the six hours started at 6:00 am.

Bingo card for Bad Ending to compare tropes with your own setting.

A version of my sci-fi setting where, instead of technology advancing for communication, it pursues war. Fearful planets, exploitation, and machines alive in more ways than one.

im so glad you're addressing the "two hearts" thing in Horse Girl! Hob cause I was wondering about that. I was ALSO wondering: does he have two stomachs?? I thought of it when you said about Hob needing to get a LOT of food... not only would Dream have to eat the amount a horse needs, but ALSO a human. Wtf do his insides look like

Oh yeah! I love to explore the concept of centaurs having eldritch anatomy. It’s one reason why this AU fascinates me so much, And I WILL be doing more comics about the subject hehe XD.

Hob is, understandably, also fascinated by this.

My working theory for Dream is he has two hearts, two stomachs (to break down human food and horse food) and one EXTRA BIG set of lungs in his horse half :)

Something I want to explore later is how equally bizarre Hob is to Dream as well. Only one pair of legs? One heart? How is he alive? The day Dream finds out a human can recover from a broken tibia, he’s gonna loose his mind.

Treating GI stasis is bad for my nerves. Cakepop dropped from three to two feedings of Critical Care yesterday, and her appetite has NOT improved, so she’s making less poop. Tomorrow I am stopping the lactulose and meloxicam and I am so worried that she’s not ready. I’m clinging to the fact that she eats greens consistently, so she WILL EAT.

Her medical team also let me know today that her stasis was so severe by the time she got to the hospital that her liver was involved, which is no doubt slowing down her recovery.

She doesn’t hate her tummy massages, and when they’re feeling really good she licks my arm while I’m doing it.

What does NOT help is that between the meds, feedings, tummy massages, and super close monitoring of every aspect of her life, I’m getting really attached to Cakepop. Not that I don’t care deeply about all of my fosters, but my last bunny was with me for five months and I was happy to see her move on to get spoiled rotten. If something happens to Miss Pop, I will be crushed.

the good thing is that single dad Sakura is way too soggy for you to want to fuck in those first… 3-6 months
