This is a very very unfinished thought but I've been thinking a lot as I reread the books about how the women of House of the Dragon don't really get catharsis and how that'll likely be worse in S2. Say what you want about asoiaf but a number of named women there experience catharsis.

They kill their abusers (Lysa, Cersei, Dany). They regain some agency after a violation (Lysa, Cersei, Lady Stoneheart, Dany), and they refuse to forgive the people complicit in their subjugation (Lysa, Cersei, Dany, Lady Stoneheart, Jeyne Westerling).

Obviously, three or four isn't enough in such an expansive cast of characters but the point remains that they claw back their autonomy however they have to. They're allowed to be angry, bitter, unforgiving and cruel to their abusers in a way women in House of the Dragon just aren't allowed. They're allowed grief, grief that is violent and destructive.

The women of House of the Dragon don't get angry. They stand around and stare plaintively at the camera, they cry prettily, and they plead for peace and non-violence. They suffer and suffer and suffer and there's no relief.

I read this fic on ao3 where Mav tells Ice they aren't worth risking it all, because Mav worked too hard to be in a good place and he doesn't want to lose that. And it made me thing. Mav says they aren't worth it, that whatever love they could have isn't worth it and he doesn't regret it. But Ice doesn't stop loving him or resent him for that: he takes all this love and tries to help Mav to stay where he wants. For Mav, maybe, their love isn't worth it, but for Ice? For Ice is worth everything, even years later, when they hadn't talk to each other in years. It's worth it, because Mav is worth it.

Fluffy shang tsung imagine:

(Warning i do not do mk12/mk(1) so this is mk11/mk95 shang tsung. NEVER AN IMITATOR!)

Cw: none. Fluff.

🐍💚🐍💚🐍💚🐍💚🐍💚🐍💚🐍💚🐍💚🐍

Imagine

Making dinner with shang tsung.

No servents.

No he's actually cooking with you in the kitchen.

Slpw dancing,hugs from behind. Sweet little kisses.

Laughing from playing and teasing each other.

Play fights with the dumpling dough and flour? Yup.

Shang humming softly.

(Imagine cary hiroyuki tagawa's shang tsung low and sweet voice humming to you from behind. Softly holding you. Rubbing circles on your skin as you cook)

Imagine just for a sweet moment. One small moment.

You forget that this man is a powerful sorcerer who steals souls and rules his island. You forget this is a man,this dangerous man who is a tournament master for a death tournament for the gods. For a second this feels well...normal.

And it feels nice. You should do this more often.

Me with a late night funny: Man I love Nexomon Extinction's Tyrants, they're so unique :) The Tyrants:

[hunxi-after-hours]

Flicking the tip of his sword, Shu Jun hurled it. The greatsword flew past broken tree trunks blackened with rot, burying itself deeply into the mud. Shortly after, Shu Jun leapt lightly into the air, landing on the greatsword's hilt without touching a single splash of mud. Like a wild beast, he crouched on the blade, looking down at Big Wu.

this was SO extra of him. I'll take another eighteen scenes like this thanks

“The hunters find them before the hermits do.

[—TBC—]”

You can’t just do that, that’s pure evil. My mind is just running through all of the possibilities that could happen now-

A big one is how if the hermits were terrified about Scar going vex-mode before, how would they react to coming across him in the middle of a fight? Just all claws and teeth and no coherency.

Probably Cub especially since Scar is only exerting himself more and Cub’s fully aware of what that means.

I really wonder what would happen if the hermits find them in the middle of a fight because they haven’t had the experience of being in a life or death fight. Sure they know how to fight, but a fight in this situation?

Plus them all being hybrids and coming across hunters in general… oh boy

hehe. i can and i did <3

(in my defense, ribbon anon told me to post it as TBC even though i warned there will be a cliffhanger) (yes i'm here distributing blame lol)

me and link wanted exactly what you're saying here: for the rescue gang to see grian and scar in action in this ruthless world. nobody else back home will be able to fathom it, but these witnesses will have a sliver of understanding of what this world did to these two. :3c

cub's absolutely freaked out by scar's vex form and loss of control. it's scary! imagine how tragic it'd be if scar would push too far and lose himself to vex magic completely. now. now, right in front of the rescue team's eyes. so close to being taken home. everything just. gone. (and top it off with a chance of grian dying too and you have a beautiful tragedy in the making.)

this all just circles back to how this day should be good—great, even!—but it feels so sickeningly precarious anyway. fragile, like it's splintering into pieces. everything was supposed to be okay and instead it's in a desperate, dooming landslide.

transparent gif i made

[werewolfpdfs]

i know i just said moash doesn’t want to be good but ACKSHUALLY!!! moash does want to be good but not necessarily morally good i don’t think. he wants to be good for what he is supposed to do. he wants to be useful. he wants to help the singers like kaladin helped bridge four. and like going back to the structure and control thing moash wants to be good and useful to odium because in return it doesn’t hurt and in return he doesn’t have to decide what to do anymore. moash has so little agency throughout the entire narrative and it’s like. how does it not PAIN you all to read this. radical liberator killed a king but he doesn’t get freedom out of the deal. he can’t feel free anymore. at the same time he is resisting being controlled he is seeking it out! he is so so chained.

(Broken rosewood utensil on the table)

Young master: So, who broke it? I'm not mad, I just wanna know

Food souls: .......

Yangzhou: I did, I broke it--

Young master: No, no you didn't. Who broke it. Yipin?

Yipin: Don't look at me, look at Sir Longjing

Longjing: What? I didn't break it.

Yipin: Huh, how did you even know it was broken?

Longjing: Because it's sitting right in front of us. And it's broken.

Yipin: Huh, suspicious.

Longjing: No, it's not??

Crab in orange: Not that it matters but Teacher Ginkyo was the last one to use it.

Ginkyo: !? Liar, I don't use any of those utensils!

Crab in orange: Oh really? But then why were you near the kitchen where the utensils were stored at?

Ginkyo: I was there to take back my own utensils. Everyone knows that, Crab in orange

Yangzhou: Okay let's not fight, I broke it let me pay it back, young master.

Young master: No, who broke it?

Candied Hawthorn: (walks over and whispers) Master, Stinky Perch has been awfully quiet.

Stinky Perch: !? Huh?! But, but, I....

(Fighting ensues)

Young master: I broke it. I got tired of utensil farming so I dropped it and then called them over. It's a waste of a good utensil but hey, at least things are getting lively around here again :')

Started playing Gotham Knights yesterday, and while I'm not very far into it, I'm definitely having fun zipping around Gotham with Tim

I switched to Jason for the next mission because Tim just had to mention that Bruce never took him to the Penguin because of the liquor and I was like... well, now you're not going this time either, young man

[arttrampbelle]
