it's all fun and games until your goofy ass kinnie jokes actually start to bring some interesting similarities to light.

[wowitsverycool]

please i don't want my video games to be toys. if the point of your game is to frustrate me by god please do that.... i feel sometimes that games are held back as an artform by their need to be. like. Products. in the sense that they're expected to be entertainment first and art second, yknow? a game will get praised for its wonderful story, but only if that story supports a Fun gimmick. it's like the art in games is seen as a vehicle through which gameplay is delivered, and when gameplay exists in service of artistic intent, it makes that game a Failed Product.

This Is How I Can Still Win: How The Penroses Are Related to House Targaryen

SO. In case you don’t remember - you probably don’t, it’s a throwaway line and likely just George retconning and not doing it on purpose - Jeor Mormont misremembers Aelinor Penrose as being Aerys I’s sister instead of her cousin. Here’s the quote, from Jon I in A Clash of Kings:

"No, this was Aerys the First. The one Robert deposed was the second of that name.” “How long ago was this?” “Eighty years or close enough,” the Old Bear said, “and no, I still hadn’t been born, though Aemon had forged half a dozen links of his maester’s chain by then. Aerys wed his own sister, as the Targaryens were wont to do, and reigned for ten or twelve years."

Potentially, this means that Aelinor has ~the Valyrian look~ and that’s why Jeor got them mixed up. But when you look at the information surrounding the Penroses that existed in this era, it looks a little wonky because of this line from The Mystery Knight:

"At the crossing of the Mandel, he cut down the sons of Lady Penrose one by one. They say he spared the life of the youngest one as a kindness to his mother."

So how can Elaena marry Ronnel, Lord of the Parchments, only have one son, yet Quentyn Ball slew all of “Lady Penrose’s” sons? How is Aelinor related to the Penroses and the Targaryens? What woman of Targaryen blood would marry into this random ass house in the middle of Stormlands? Why was it so important to retcon Aelinor from a sister into a cousin? Well - let’s have a think about what other houses have recent Valyrian blood…we have some female lines after all…perhaps even Targaryen women that married into politically active houses, who would love to marry back into the main branch again…I wonder who that could be…..Oh what’s that? Is that-

DRAGON TWINS TIME.

Allow me to spin two family trees for you, one where Rhaena’s daughter marries into the Penroses, and one where Baela’s daughter marries into the Penroses:

(pls applaud me for the amount of math i did for this very unserious post!) green is a romantic/marriage line, black is a parental relationship.

I am noting that this would mean Alyssa (I made her name up btw, mostly because I thought it would piss Daemon off to have a Hightower named after his beloved mother) gives birth at around 34, which is a perfectly reasonable age to have a child at, and Laena gives birth at like 40, which is definitely a lil risky! BUT there’s plenty of time for Laena to have other children, and for a second born son to have had a child at that same age, so if you think it’s a stretch for Laena to have a kid at 40 (perfectly fair) just pretend there’s a son there named “Roland” or something as Aelinor’s dad and Laena’s second born.

Now, FIRST OF ALL, this makes the cousin thing make sense, but also it makes it deeply funny - Aelinor is Aerys’ great aunt’s granddaughter. That’s a close enough relationship that you would consider them a cousin but it’s also the exact relationship Robert has to Rhaegar (because Rhaegar is Robert’s great uncle’s grandson). Both Aerys and Robert avoiding incest/kinslaying on a technicality lol.

But SECOND OF ALL. Do you know what makes me absolutely fucjing feral about this. Alyn Velaryon is messing around with a woman so much younger than him. That she marries his GRANDSON. because SHE IS THE SAME AGE AS HIS GRANDSON. i feel like george is weird enough to do the Baela scenario too.

And LASTLY OF ALL. Notice there’s plenty of time for Alyssa/Laena aka Lady Penrose after she’s married, to have several sons for Quentyn Ball to slay on the Redgrass Field, including Elaena’s husband, Ronnel himself, and for Elaena’s son, Robin Penrose, to inherit the seat afterwards. It also means, since it’s mentioned that Elaena married Michael Manwoody soon after her second husband died, that the two of them got a long time together. Why is this important? Because Michael Manwoody was her marriage for love and I want Elaena to have been with him for a long time.

This scenario gives her like 9 years with Ronnel (kinda sad, their kids don’t get to know their dad very long) and a minimum of 15 years with Michael Manwoody, who is apparently not the step dad but the dad that stepped up.

HONESTLY cannot find the words today for absolutely anything but i need to talk to you all about how jotaro is doomed by the narrative and how it drives me INSANE all of the things i say about jojo i assume are common knowledge but please i need to say it so graphically it drives me nuts. it drives me nuts i get nutty thinking about how jotaro is fated to tragedy in every single layer in every way. from just his personality to the META. After getting to know jotaro so well his tragic character is... well it's alright. Okay, yeah, it takes a lot for him to let somebody in and he's a tough guy with a big heart. this is wonderful. him absolutely refusing to stay too close to those he loves in fear of damaging them? okay. okay its getting kind of hot in here but whatever, sure that makes for good musings. his isolation being caused by his refusal to let others enter into the danger of his own self which only drives him to further misery?? okay thats so crazy! wow jotaro! This being somewhat TRUE and his unhealthy habits and beliefs being enabled further by something as eternal and cosmic as the narrative of the story?? jesus thats crazy lol! Him being FOREVER FATED TO BE THIS WAY BECAUSE OF THE FACT HIS BEING LIKE A GREEK HERO/WHATEVER IS LITERALLY HIS NUCLEUS? HIM BEING FATED TO DIE TRAGICALLY? THERE BEING NO ESCAPE? HIM BEING DOOMED BY THE NARRATIVE? BEING ... LITERALLY STUCK IN HIS WAYS? ARAKI'S WRITING ADVANCING BUT JOTARO HAVING TO BE STUCK IN THE SAME WRETCHED CYCLE? JOTARO BEING A CHARACTER WHO CAN BE USED TO WHATEVER EXTENT THE CREATOR PLEASES? HIM BEING CLUELESS TO THE ATROCITIES THAT WILL FOREVER FOLLOW HIM? IM KILLING MYSELF.
