She hears laughter. Her daughter’s beautiful laughter. “I did it!” Aegon and Aemond cheer for her and Alicent follows the sound, going over to the window to watch as Helaena is passed the ball again and takes a running leap to kick it back, misses, and lands right on her rump in the grass. Aegon, of course, laughs at her, and Aemond pulls her up to her feet. Grass stains the back of her white pants and sticks to her long blond hair, but the three of them laugh still.
And it’s a magnificent sight.
When her husband dies from a long illness and leaves her with nothing, Alicent takes her children away so they can start over and be the family that they never got to be.
it’s by divine intervention only that I’m not constantly posting about the bullshit cycle of Filipino politics here because the fucking presidential family is turning my home province into a puppet state and the wife of the assassinated governor is gearing up for a dynasty run in office and people are going to vote for her because they feel bad that her husband got murdered instead of seeing authoritarian assimilation and a dynast take over for what it is. The next election is not an election if all the players ahead of time have begun to form a united coalition with the backing of a fascist family.
instead I simply crack Crassus open like a walnut and start yelling really loud into his rib cage.
imagine being struck with a pain and grief of losing a loved one so immense that you just unleash your limited power because you just cant hold it any longer
obsessing over your modern au!!! your daeron might be my favorite. where do you think rhaenyra fits in? is she still related to them or maybe comes in new and meets alicent for the first time somewhere random. can't wait to hear your thoughts!
First, THANK YOU. And isn't Daeron adorable? It's easier to have him be a baby in this since we don't have a face yet for him on the show. As much as his older brothers and sister deny it, the baby is definitely the head of the household lol.
Second, I started posting it, just in case you haven't seen that yet. Go HERE!
And third, actually, Rhaenyra is not going to be in this. I do have a modern Rhaenicent fic planned for the future, but Rhaenyra won't be in this one. I am going to have it completely focused on the family relationships, with no romance.
join me for 38 seconds of party fun and lamp head bonking because I have no peripheral vision. 🎉🎈🎊🎈🎈🎉🎊
I’m working with futuristic augmented reality tech to design virtual versions of single-use objects that would typically end up in landfills! other things I’ve created so far are: glow sticks, sparklers, fireworks, and piñatas... minus the candy.
although haptic gloves are being developed that allow you to physically feel virtual objects, haptic taste buds are, uh... a ways away. 😅 if you want to learn more about this kind of stuff, you can follow my dev blog at @figminxr!
