#letters to alys

[mehreenkhan]

I’m looking after myself and the days are slowly sliding into nothingness so keep your chins up. Even the miserable half-hour every fortnight is better than the complete absence of beloved faces, so I look forward to the Thursday that will bring its respite to the days of hopeful waiting.

Faiz’s Letters to Alys, 1959

People are shading Rhaenyra over being angry about constantly being harassed about bringing daemon back but let’s not forget that he groomed her, emotionally manipulated her and since the usurping had started to become physically abusive to her. Daemon is important to their war efforts because he has caraxes and is the only one willing to willing to get his hands dirty by directly committing war crimes but Rhaenyra is still struggling with questioning every aspect of the relationship she thought that they had and if he can still be trusted to be loyal if she chooses to end the relationship

omg dont get me started on kazuha hc’s-

one thing that i think about (for totally not personal reasons) is how he genuinely does not care what size his partner is. whether they’re thin or thick, he would find them beautiful :,)

big loves, itty bitty loves?

You'll forever and always be cuddle-size 🥰 big spoon or little spoon he doesn't mind.

He'll sprawl over your chest and hug you to sleep just to keep his arms around you. (Y'all don't lie, plus sized people give some of the best hugs)

You have a little more weight to you? More places to kiss!

You're a bit on the skinny side? You can wear his clothes.

Stretch marks? Beautiful 😍

Small chest? Loves it

A bit tall? He'll wrap his arms around your neck to kiss you or ask you to bend down (or use his anemo abilities)

Headpats and forehead kisses for the short cakes

No matter how you look he'll cherish every part of you, and kiss and hug all you insecurities away if you have them. Him and his flowery words of reassurance ❤️❤️❤️

in the danger of sounding like an aegon pervert targaryen apologist, i wont say much about it except to call to attention the moment we see him in the council start he is not just mad he is scared not just cuz he’s a kid all that but his position is worse after jahaerys and it’s not just his desperation and fear but certain other moments stand out in this episode like plain men soldiers pausing war to compute the sheer insanity of what their eyes are seeing, the sickest spiciest dragon eyeing her rider and knowing just knowing, the darklyn son getting news of his father, vhagar stepping on a bug, a lord not leaving a battlefield because he wants to see this unheard unseen on the continent before dragon fight, sunfyre the ugly golden shit burning people because we gotta do it super blind and drunk apparently, acting out scared for life and position and drunk on the failure of your existence getting burnt to a crisp, a lonely weak spine sticking out of a bundle, black haired witch sucking frog guts from her fingers, a shower of boiling black blood raining on friends and foes burning flesh and leather and metal, an aemond daemon demon screaming meemie and an unreal absolutely shattering heartbreaking sight of a once vibrant red beast against yellow stone burning a breach into a birdhouse

Hello dove,

I know it's odd, hearing from me like this. I've tried your phone a few times, alright maybe more than a few times, with no answer. I reckon things may be feeling a little too much at the moment so you're taking some time for yourself, which I'm so very proud of you for. I figured the letter would be a softer approach, no irritating notifications you feel obliged to answer, (I suppose encouraging the creation of social media can be jot down as another one of my failed temptations, ey?)

Speaking of temptations, I know how difficult it is to not give in to that little voice in your head, that nagging ball of miserable thoughts that fills your mind with all the bad things and pushes out the good. It's so easy to give in, to think there may be some truth to them. But I've been here a long time, sweets, and one thing I know about humans is that you're a resilient lot. Every single hardship that has been thrown your way you have overcome and that's not an easy feat.

You are so strong, dove. Never doubt your capability. I mean, you helped us save the world for Satan's, for heaven's, for somebody's sake!

On another note, the bookshop feels quiet without you around. Whether you choose to believe it or not, angel and I really feel it when you're not here; leaves a very you-shaped hole in our lives. I hate it, knowing that the people you're surrounded with at the moment don't appreciate you as they should, don't see you how I do. That they would take the things that make you so irreversibly you and turn it against you, it makes me feel anger of the likes of which I haven't felt since I last visited the fifth circle. And that was well– hell.

It's just– it's very important that you know how much your existence means to me. You're so incredibly strong and resilient, a perfect personification of humanity. And I know I don't say it often, not as often as I should anyway but I care about you. Just look after yourself, alright? Don't forget the sleeping and eating and drinking and all the other stuff your lot needs to do to keep those human engines running.

Aziraphale sends his love, I'm sure you can probably feel it now, that warm sensation in your chest. It's the least we can do at the moment.

I'll speak to you soon, dove.

Yours insufferably,

[mehreenkhan]

15 August 1952:

Your letter came today. I feel happy today after a mild attack of a blue period lasting over a few days. It must be the weather. It is more like spring than summer. The mornings are vaguely cool and disturbing like the first breath of love and the sun in the early hours brings more colour than heat. In the evenings the breeze seems to bring the breath of the seas and the skies seem to close not on drab prison walls but on distant palm- fringed beaches. And it is sad like all beauty that is within your sight and beyond your grasp—like all beauty that you know to be an illusion.

crashes my fist against the table. the way Ali has been Nahri's weakness since the beginning, no matter the nature of their bond. Ghassan saw her once and went "oh yes she will adore my famously unlikable son which will make my exploitation easier". she can't help but let herself be led by his optimism and dreams of justice and he is so happy someone appreciates him the way he is that he just holds onto her even stronger. no amount of ancestral hatred and prejudice and distrust could compete with that chaotic resonance and everyone around them could only stop and stare in horror

I’m sure the letters written by Ned and Faisal have been posted before on this site, but the recent developments in the region have led me to re-think about the significance of their relationship once again. To me, the relationship between Faisal and Ned is really the epitome of what could have been and what we have lost due to the imperialist and colonial ambitions of the so-called Great Powers. If there were no Sykes-Picot Agreement and the Balfour Declaration, if the French did not use military force to drive Faisal out of Damascus, if Ned could truly achieve his post-war visions of Arab independence by helping Faisal become the King of a pan-Arabist Arab Kingdom of Syria (which have gained widespread local support and made the most geopolitical and ethnoreligious sense from a long-term stability perspective), the world would truly be enjoying the peace and prosperity of their long-lasting legacy. The letters did not talk about the Arab Kingdom of Syria, but the genuine and painstaking emotions of their words after 100 years remain truly heartbreaking and will forever remind people of the tragedy of a broken dream that was once shared between two hopeless idealists.
