You say I have no power here. Perhaps you speak truly. But to say dreams have no power in Hell… Tell me, Lucifer Morningstar, what power would Hell have if those here imprisoned were not able to dream… of Heaven

A friend and I were discussing who we would cast in a Muppet version of Star Trek. We settled on Miss Piggy as Nurse Chapel, Sam Eagle as Sarek, and Spock as the token non-Muppet, but when it came to casting Kermit, we arrived at a stalemate.

So help us out, Tumblr:

Kind Of Related, but it really does piss me the fuck off when, not just in tes but in any fantasy world a specific group/race of elves takes so much of its culture from real world cultures of color (african, asian, latin american, native americans, aboriginal australian, so on) they take the art and the music the food and customs names and clothes and jewelry but then the actual elves? just white! Just white eurocentric features. with perhaps a coat of paint of gold or blue. they take our culture but god forbid they look like us, no, they have to be pretty and conventionally attractive, they have to look white.

Was I just supposed to accidentally stumble upon a music number from a movie written by Doctor Seuss recently? Because I did that yesterday. I went looking up an actor I once saw on a fancast list for Batman '66 (Hans Conried), and I ended up learning he played the villian in a musical live action movie written by Doctor Seuss. Doctor Seuss's only live action movie that wasn't a documentary, in fact. So that's been an interesting little tangent for my mind. The 5000 Fingers of Dr. T. A Doctor Seuss live action movie. I'm not gonna go look up the whole thing, but that villian music number is now stuck in my head. And if I had to be made aware of the existence of this movie, I may as well share it's existence with everyone else.

Master fancast

I would be happy with Dhawan reprising the role as I feel he has a lot more to give but if the master is recast and appears next season or the season after how amazing would Omari Douglas be.

Back when it was announced that RTD would be returning, but before Ncuti was announced as the Doctor, a lot of people thought Olly Alexander would be the next Doctor, as he starred in RTD’s amazing drama it’s a sin which was a hit. I thought Olly Alexander was great, but my personal favourite pick for the Doctor from the it’s a sin cast was Omari Douglas, because he seemed to have the right energy for the Doctor, and his performance of someone dealing with both deep sadness and anger as most of his friends die of aids, really touched me. I also thought it was past time to have a black Doctor, RTD clearly thought the same with the casting of Ncuti Gatwa, who is amazing also, and I would’t change him, but the qualities I thought Omari had that would make him a good Doctor would also make him a good Master, and I’d be interested to see him work alongside Ncuti.

My story isn't over. It's now about the journey. The truth is what we discover every day. Not just about ourselves, but within everyone. There will be different people who tell it differently, but it won't matter. I know now. There is only one Supergirl. And that's me.

BEING IN A RELATIONSHIP WITH THEM!

(ft. aaron taylor johnson characters)

ask: Idk if you do headcanons like these and I don't quite know how to get my ask into words. So, fluff, and positions that reader is usually in with the boys that you write for. I don't mean sexual positions, or cuddling ones, or any specific, just positions.

warnings: briefly sexual (nothing major)

includes - in said order

~ James Potter - harry potter marauder's era (yes ik it's technically a fancast but 🥺 he's my baby)

~ Tangerine - bullet train

~ Dave Lizewski - kick-ass

~ Count Alexei Vronksy - anna karenina 2012

~ Tom Ryder - the fall guy

~ Pietro Maximoff - avengers: age of ultron

~ hope you like this! kinda turned into relationship headcanons with a theme! ~

• James's love languages are a mix of physical touch and acts of service which means he always has his hands on you in some form or another!

• Holding your hand while you walk? Check. Having an arm around your shoulder when you're sitting on the couch? Check. Playing with your fingers/hair when he's bored in class? Check.

• Basically, he's a koala and you're his favorite tree.

• He walks with his hand in yours, your fingers intertwined (just holding them is for the weak) and he'll stroke his thumb on your palm.

• When he becomes agitated and can't sit still anymore, he'll bounce all around you and you physically cannot get him off you. It's times like those that means you aren't the little spoon anymore—he is.

• (Bonus points if you scratch his head while you spoon)

• James gives the best piggy-back rides. THE B E S T. He'll hold your hands in front of him, making you laugh as he runs around the common room (annoying everyone else) and then drops you on the couch. If you're laughing so hard you're crying his mission was successful.

• He loves when you lie against him. Not necessarily for cuddles but just when you're tired, or you're reading a book and he's being used as a prop lmao. He likes feeling useful!

• When he picks you up, he likes having you wrapped around him—your arms around his neck, his on your ass!

• Not in a sexual way but he likes leaning against your boobs and using one as an stress-ball if he can. He thinks your boobs/stomach are the best pillows ever.

• If he's still criss-cross, you'll always find yourself in his lap, playing with his fingers as he mumbles sweet nothings in your ear or just casually has a conversation with his friends.

• When James is talking to you, since he's taller than you (make him any height lmao canon don't matter—have your fun, babes), he'll hold your chin to help you look up at him. He tells you he can listen to you better if he focuses on you like this.

• It's bullshit but you don't care.

• You love wrapping your arms around his strong torso, feeling his muscles under your hands.

• Overall, James can NEVER take his hands off you. You're just his favorite girl!

• Tough guy pretends he doesn't like physical touch—and yeah, most of the time he does hate it. He's kind of a germaphobe and a neat freak so having strangers touch him? He'd rather put a bullet through their skull.

• Only, you aren't a stranger. You're his partner—his lover.

• Tangerine's favorite place where he holds you is around your waist, griping lightly onto whatever you're dressed in and squeezes your flesh. As in to say I'm here, I'll always be here for you.

• His love language is 100% quality time and acts of service. He loves being around you. He likes touching you in small ways, like resting his chin on your shoulder when you cook, or holding your hand in public and overwhelming situations (like in a bus, or a plane, or even walking in a crowded street).

• He's silly and overprotective like that 🤭

• When you're at dinners with friends, he'll always sit next to you. Always. He's facing the door in case something happens, his hand lightly touching your thigh as the conversation continues.

• Big spoon!! His hand gently resting on your stomach, his lips near your ear as he snores only gently. The blankets are a mess all tangled around you both.

• Random but Tangerine 100% likes his room cold!! So, the more blankets the more he's warm and toasty and he can snuggle you!

• He likes picking you up bridal style. 1. So he's all cute and like a handsome prince saving the princess (which makes you swat him over the head because ew) and 2. simply to display his own strength lmao.

• You guys will play-fight often. It's not even training—even though it's disguised as training—it's just him chasing you around the house and attacking you with tickles, smooches, and love-bites!

• He doesn't give you piggy-back rides necessarily—instead, it's more like during those play-fighting times you'll jump on his back and hold an arm around his neck while you laugh.

• Tangerine isn't phased and will often simply shrug you off him and send you a glare (hiding a smirk).

• You like trimming his facial hair while you sit on his lap. He's sitting on the toilet seat, a bowl of hot water on the sink beside him and he has you on his lap, carefully holding his face in your hands as you shave him/trim him and use the water to wipe the shaving cream away.

• Constantly pretends to dislike your attention in a joking way, but genuinely loves when you shower him with love! He's love starved fr.

• Dave is similar to James in the sense that he loves touching you whenever he's around you. He loves nuzzling his head into the crook of your neck and leaving little kisses.

• He likes having his hand in yours when you walk around, or even if you're sitting and doing something—like watching a movie!

• His favorite position to be in when you're on the couch watching a movie is him sitting normally and you're tucked into his side, leaning on him. Poor lil dude sometimes forgets to watch the movie he's so enamored by you.

• When you're out grocery shopping, you like to stand on the cart with his arms around you from behind as he pushes the cart (if that makes sense! it's very cartoon-esque if you know what I mean) and he likes making funny impressions in your ear as you're pushed around the store.

• Dave likes making you laugh! Which means sometimes he settles for stupid jokes, but other times he gets into tickles you mercilessly when you're cuddling in bed. It's so bad you almost piss yourself and you have to push him off you.

• You retaliate—of course—almost breaking his glasses as he flops around the bed too much!

• Dave plays video-games, I feel like that's obvious and he likes when either you hang around him when he's playing or if you like sit in his lap and do your own thing, or watch along with him!

• Sometimes, he'll even let you eat his headphones so you can listen along and "play".

• If you're good at video games, you often take over hard levels for him and he doesn't at all feel threatened! Or maybe only once when Todd and Matry tease him about it but otherwise he likes that you're good at the games he isn't good at!

• Dave lets you try on his kick-ass mask! Which you find super fun and you have a blast, taking loads of cute selfies which you obviously can't show anyone!

• You make fun of him bc his mask is ugly (sorry 😃) but in a loving way because he pulls it off.

• Dave 🤝 peppering kisses all over you!

• Holds your bags for you (school, shopping, any bag) and he knows the side-walk rule! He also does that thing where if you bend over and there is something sharp, he's put his hand over the sharp corner (sometimes even subconsciously)

• DAVE LIZEWSKI IS SOO BOYFRIEND CORE 💞

• Alexei is obviously more formal given the time period and his social status. He grew up rich and well-educated, and he's a cavalry officer meaning he's well-trained in discipline! Which means, he's not a very obviously affectionate person in public!

• In other words—no PDA 🙂

• In public, he'll have his hand resting behind your back, he'll keep you close to him and he'll save all his dances with you but nothing more.

• In private? Oh, he's very affectionate.

• Neck and cheek kisses galore! Whenever he walks by you, he'll spin you around and then press a chaste kiss on your lips—complimenting you on your dress/hair.

• Sits close to you at dinners and he holds your hand under the table, stroking your thumb. It's intimate and private so he loves doing this!

• Alexei helps the maids with your corset and everything if he’s ready before you and he loves watching you put on your makeup and your jewelry. He finds it fascinating and he'll just sit on the bed and talk to you where your maids help you.

• Obviously, he loves going riding with Frou-Frou! He gifted you a horse so you could learn how to ride and you guys can go on picnics and ride around fields all cute 🥰

• While you have your own horse, he still wants you sitting in front of him on Frou-Frou most of the time, your back pressed to his chest as he takes control.

• Very very much into taking control on the relationship.

• He likes to dance with you! You'll have little dancing sessions in the parlor room and it's very very fun!

• Lights cigarettes for you! (like that scene in the movie, yk the one! I'm salivating!)

• OKAY TOM RYDER L O V E S TEASING.

• It's basically his love language! He's very much like a school boy who pulls girls hair in the playground because they like them…so immature at times 😀

• Still, he has his mature moments!

• Tom really likes having his arm around your waist, his palm flat on your stomach—claiming—as in saying you're his and only his.

• Say you're in a conversation with someone and Tom is around? Boom, he's by your side in seconds and he's holding you possessively. Fake smiles all around (yes, he's jealous)

• Tom likes taking you to his favorite restaurants (bonus points if it's fancy and he can see you all dressed up!) He'll pull out your chair and all that! Very gentlemanly when he wants to be!

• He likes laying his head on your lap when you're at home watching a movie or something. It's completely innocent and he especially loves when you play with his hair!

• You like to shower together—no further elaborations 🤫

• Back to the teasing—that means whenever he sees you on set, he'll make small comments or slap your ass and whistle. It can be seen as kinda hostile but you know he means well and you just flip him off if it really bothers you.

• Tom likes to assert his dominance, which means he'll do the thing if you're in the kitchen and he needs to walk by you, he'll lift you by your waist and manhandle you any way he wants.

• MANHANDLING IS HIS THING 😏

• Hand holding but it's his arm across your shoulder as you hold his hand. He likes doing this when you're walking around because he can be close to you!

• If you're a yapper, he'll always listen but he'll also get distracted so he does the humming thing and that's when you know you've lost him.

• You swat him on the back of the head if he's acting too dumb—which prompts him to chase you around and punish you with a thousand little kisses.

• Secretly a dork that acts all cool and shit 🙄

• Very sexual lmao. Horn-dog. Can making anything that isn't sexual—sexual. He'll grind against you unprompted and also pretend to fuck you from behind if ever you bend over!

• Big boob and ass guy so when he's cuddling with you, he'll need to hold onto one of the two or he'll whine like a child.

• "What? I'm just a guy, babe. I see 'em, I want 'em," is his favorite excuse 💞

• Pietro is hyper active and that means he loves doing active things with you: like running, or swimming, or any kind of sports.

• Super spontaneous so he'll just come home with a trip to go rock-climbing randomly and you're just 😀 huh, what?!

• Obviously because of his super-speed he loves to pick you up and have you in his arms while he runs. You guys can basically run everywhere lmao.

• Pietro likes when you dote on him when he's tired from running! He really likes when you play with his hair and make sure he stays hydrated because of all the exercise he inevitably does!

• He's BIG on being cared for 🤭 like treating his wounds after a mission!? He'll stay extremely still for that and grin so hard when you take care of him.

• BIG HUGGER! Fully wraps his entire arms around you like a teddy bear and kisses your neck!

• He's a competitive guy so he likes making up competitions with you. Who can eat more cherries in under a minutes? Who can find the weirdest looking plant in the store? Who can run faster to the pole (this one is plainly unfair) either way he finds random little games he likes to play with you.

• I think he's the little spoon 😌 he likes being cuddled.

• You both tease each other. DEF you're a prank couple (in the cute way not the psychotic youtuber way)!

• He's a jokester so making you laugh is his favorite pastime and his one goal.

• Bonus points if you snort out your water/drink if you do laugh. He likes seeing how embarrassed you become and it makes him want to kiss you even more!

• Very boyfriend core even if slightly immature

Authors Note: plot heavy!, cute sibling time bc the battles gunna be messy!, no bc i will be using some quotes from fire and blood but ill change them so no one comes for me 😅 it's like the beginning of the battle so it's not suuuper intense y e t

Word Count: 4k

⊹₊⋆☁︎⋆⁺₊⋆ ☀︎ ⋆⁺₊⋆☁︎⋆₊ ⊹ ⊹₊⋆☁︎⋆⁺₊⋆ ☀︎ ⋆⁺₊⋆☁︎⋆₊ ⊹ ⊹₊⋆☁︎⋆⁺₊⋆

We’re sprawled around Rhaenyras war tent waiting for the rest of the Lords to make their way to us. The amount of bodies around Rosby is staggering. Slowly the rest of the council makes their way into the tent and my mother rises and we all follow suit.

“The time has come for us to take the throne. I have word Aemond and Vhagar are going to be moving to Harrenhal on the morrow. I’m sending Y/n and Baela to assess the city walls and see where we can enter through easiest. On their return tonight we will plan further of where everyone’s placement is going to be and the part they play.” Rhaenyra looks on at the nodding Lords. 

Ben holds me to him tighter as I feel his anxiety rise. I pat his leg trying to comfort him. Of course I’m nervous but we’re simply scouting and we’ll stick to the clouds. Our dragons are light enough where if we stay high we can avoid being seen. Rhaenyra dismisses the Lords and council members so they can spend the last couple of hours of sunlight with their men before everything changes tomorrow. The dragon riders are the only ones who linger behind in her tent.

“What I’m asking of you all tomorrow will be no small feat. I know that Vhagar will be out of the city but we have to keep watch for scorpions and take them out promptly. They still have Dreamfyre, but I know Helaena will not be riding her. Sunfyre is no longer in the city and Aegon is incapacitated. We should be the only ones flying over the city.” Rhaenyra looks to all of us, nodding her head as she looks down at the map of Kings Landing.

“Baela and I can deal with the scorpions. Moondancer and Vermax are still small which allows them to remain quick and agile.” Jace offers walking over to look over her shoulder at the map.

“I wish to avoid as many civilian casualties as possible. Try to keep the fighting outside of the city walls. I’m hoping that once they see we’ve arrived the city folk will start to fight with us and attack the Greens from behind.” Rhaenyra looks to Jace and Baela who nod at her instructions. 

“Y/n and Ben will stay with the host. They’ve been training alongside them and they’ve fought alongside Silverwing so they know what to expect.” her eyes linger on us before they turn to Addam. 

“It is my hope that you can stay by my side. Seasmoke is formidable and has seen action so I may very well send you with Jace and Baela to provide them that extra support.” he nods eagerly at her commands. 

“At sunset you both will set out.” her eyes glance from me to Baela. “Please stay to the clouds and do not engage. I mean it.” her voice firm but her eyes pleading.

“Of course,” Baela nods and I along with her. 

“I will see you all for supper.” she dismisses us to go about the camp. 

Ben and I rise and walk through the men until we start seeing familiar faces. Our dragons are nesting near the outskirts of our Riverland host. As we approach I see our tent has already been built. We slip through the opening and sigh as we sit on our bed. 

“I do not wish for you to go.” he looks at me with furrowed brows. 

“We will stay in the cover of clouds and will be back within a couple hours. There is nothing to worry about.” I turn to him grabbing his hand and rubbing soothing circles with my thumb.

“Vhagar is still in the city.” he looks up to me with wavering eyes. 

“I promise I will come back to you.” I place a soft kiss on his brow.

I pull him close to me as I feel his anxiety and worry floating around our tent. We lay back on the bed and stay in each other’s embrace hoping to calm each other down. Every time we seem to settle his anxiety spikes and he pulls me tighter against him. 

“If you don’t come back to me I’ll burn this entire fucking realm down.” his words a promise.

“Why can you make declarations like that to me?” I hear Baelas voice from the other side of our tent causing me to pull out of Ben’s arms and storm to the opening.

“What are you two doing?” I scold as I rip the flaps open. 

“Listening to make sure it’s safe for us to come see you both.” Jace chuckles pushing me aside and sitting next to Ben on our bed. 

“Taking my spot on top of that?” I huff as I follow behind Baela back into our tent as we take seats on the ground. 

“You whisk him away every chance you get. I want to get to know him.” Jace pulls Ben over by his shoulders as I look on with raised eyebrows. 

“You’re gunna get yourself punched in the face again.” Baela giggles from my side. 

“Mm, I’m absolutely terrified.” Jace smirks to me and I can’t help the smile that forms on my face.

“Gods know I’m terrified of her.” Ben chuckles much to Jaces delight. 

“At least you’re smart enough to admit it.” a smile spreads across my face. 

“Enough about scary Y/n, let’s hear about Vermithor.” Jace and Baela look to Ben expectantly. 

“Well they’re both equally as terrifying,” he jokes to me. “I like to think of him as a grumpy old man who wouldn’t mind burning down a village for a midnight snack. He’s surprisingly accommodating and has eagerly taken to the new maneuvers I’ve been working with him on.” I tilt my head curious of what new techniques he’s talking about. 

“What are these maneuvers? Making me and Silverwing hunt for you both?” I quip and Baela barks out a laugh. 

“You shall see them on the battlefield after we’re sated from a meal you both have sourced for us.” he rubs his belly as him and Jace erupt into a fit of laughter. 

“Oh, I like you,” Jace smiles broadly to Ben. 

We continue to talk for hours until the sun starts to fall down the horizon. We all make our way back to Rhaenryas tent and join her for supper. After the meal Baela and I excuse ourselves to change into our riding gear and meet each other back at our dragons.

“Are you ready sister?” I look to her biting my lip. 

“We’ll stick to the clouds and be back in no time.” she says pulling me into a tight embrace. 

“How do we look sending our lovers off while we stay to the tents?” Jace comes from behind us with Ben next to him. Baela makes her way to Jace who pulls her into a hug and I walk to Ben. 

“May I have your favor?” I purse my lips with a smirk. 

“Of course, my gallant knight,” he bows his head with a smile and pulls out the bone knife. “This seems to always keep you safe when I’m indisposed.” he hums pulling me into a hug and kisses me fiercely. 

“Daughters,” Rhaenyra catches our attention and we turn to her. “If anything feels wrong or if you feel like you’re in danger please come back at once. It’s not my desire to send you both but you do a great service to me.” her eyes starting to water. 

“We will be fine mother,” Baela offers her comforting words. 

“We will be back before you even notice our absence.” I nod to her as we turn to mount our dragons. 

I look down at Ben once more before we shoot into the sky. Baela and Moondancer are quick on our heels as we ascend into the clouds. We shoot forward with purpose and intent. The moon begins to rise as we see Kings Landing in the distance. As we start approaching the city we rise higher in the clouds hoping to have more cover. I nod my head to the left and Baela nods her to the right as we start a perimeter around the city walls. 

As I fly above the Gods gate my breath catches at the size of the army outside the walls. The host stretches down past the Lions gate all the way to the Kings gate. I shake my head as I continue in the clouds making my way over the Bay. Baela comes into view and nods to me with wide eyes. We pass each other so we can take in each other’s sides and I gape. The entire city is surrounded with a host almost double our size. 

We meet just past the Gods gate again and rise above the clouds. We look to each other and breathe out a sigh of relief that no one saw us and begin flying back to Rosby. As we approach the host I can feel the tension in the air. We make our descent and land next to the other dragons. Baela and I slide off and meet each other as our adrenaline pours out of us. Rhaenyra, Jace, and Ben quickly approach us and look us over. 

“Come to the war tent.” Rhaenyra nods once she sees we’re all in one piece. 

Jace and Ben trail behind us as we enter. Baela and I walk over to the map and start placing pieces on the map trying to put everything down before it flees our minds. We look over each other’s work and then step back and look to Rhaenyra. 

“What did you see?” Rhaenyra asks hushed looking at the map. 

“The city is surrounded.” I shake my head biting the inside of my lip. 

“Their host is massive. Almost double our size.” Baela looks to Rhaenyra. 

“We have more dragons.” Jace furrows his brow looking to the map. 

“Well the bay has been left unattended, right?” Ben asks. 

“From what we could see, yes.” I nod my head to him. 

“We could send two dragons to take the city from that end and send the riders to turn the small folk to our cause. We can rush the gates from the inside and begin the attack from within the walls.” Ben bites his lip looking over the map and host. 

“Who are you suggesting?” Jace asks. 

“Seasmoke and Syrax. The presence of two large dragons should sway them. Especially, if one of them is their Queen. We can send you with spare weapons and armor to hand out.” Ben nods his head. 

“A sound idea.” Rhaenyra nods her head thinking. 

“Once Baela and I take out the scorpions we can join you both on the ground.” Jace nods as the plans continue to form. 

“We will continue this at day break.” Rhaenyra says at once and I can hear the fear and anxiety in her voice. “Please get some rest.” Rhaenyra looks over the map again and exhales. 

Ben’s hand slips into mine as he softly tugs me out of the tent. We slowly make our way to our tent and take in the rowdy host around us. The men know that there could be a promise of death tomorrow and refuse to waste their last hours. Once we enter the tent he begins to remove my gear while whispering words of adoration. 

“Thank you for coming back to me, my Princess.” he whispers against my neck as he holds me. 

“I’ll always come back to you.” I whisper against his lips. 

We begin to pull off the rest of our clothes not wanting any boundaries between us. He lays me gently on our bed and climbs over me. He dips down and locks our lips once more. He settles between my thighs and slowly pushes himself in. My legs wrap around him and he pumps into me slow and deep. 

Our breaths are deep as we try to get impossibly closer to each other. Soft moans fall from my lips as he grinds into me as I cling to him. He swallows all of my noises as we get lost in each other. 

“Ben,” his name falls off of my lips as my hips begin moving with his. 

“Shh, you can let go.” he kisses me once more as I whimper into his mouth allowing pleasure to take over. 

He continues to slowly push into me as my hands roam all over his back. The feel of him is making my body go taught once more. His hips start to move a little faster as they begin to falter. I pulse around him as he starts to fill me panting into my neck. 

“Gods I fucking love you so much.” he rests his forehead on mine. 

“I love you.” I bring his lips back down to mine.

We wake along with the rest of our host. We untangle from each other and slowly rise. Ben helps me braid my hair and then with putting on my armor. I grab his armor and begin placing it on him while he steals kisses from me in between plates. Once we’re ready we walk out of our tent and are greeted by the men rushing around to prepare. We make our way to the war tent and can feel the tension pouring out of the flaps. 

“I will not sit idly by while you take the city. If there ever has been a time for me to show my face in battle now is the time.” Rhaenyras voice is raised as she stares down the Lords as we enter. 

“Our Queen is right,” Corlys nods. “She will go in from the back and be able to pull the small folk to our cause and they’ll be able to push open the gates for us from the inside.” Corlys stands tall showing off his Hand of the Queen pin. 

“I will not be alone. Seasmoke and Addam will be by my side and Corlys’ fleet is slowly entering the Blackwater. I am more formidable than you think.” she rises and looks down to all the Lords.

“We meant no offense, Your Grace.” Ser Alfred lowers his eyes. 

“Then ready the host. Vhagar has been spotted leaving Kings Landing and the time for us to march is now.” Rhaenyra looks to them expectantly. 

“Where will the other dragons be?” Lord Mooton asks boldly. 

“Y/n and Ben will be with the host outside of the gates. Jace and Baela will be inside the city walls taking out scorpions and other weapons that could cause lethal damage to our dragons or host.” She looks to him waiting for him to say something. “Fight valiantly and any one of you who thinks it would be easier to turn cloaks, know that you will die.” she lifts her chin assessing every Lord and Lady in the tent. 

“We take the city today and I will sit the throne before days end. I’m not saying it will be easy and I know not all of us will come out of this. You all have stood faithfully by my side and honored my father’s wishes. Know that when I rule you all will be rewarded for your bravery and loyalty.” everyone in the tent, me and my siblings included, fall to our knees and bow to the Queen.

The Lords begin to usher out of the tent to go ready their hosts. Only her Hand and the dragon riders remain. She turns to us with a soft smile and hardness in her eyes. 

“I don’t even know how to begin to thank you all for what you’re going to do for me today.” she looks to all us. “I wish it didn’t have to come to this. Dragons should never be used as a weapon of war and yet here I am sending them to battle.” she shakes her head and looks up to stop her unshed tears. 

“We will be the only dragons. The only people who should be afraid are the traitors.” Jace says standing tall. “I will fight for you until my last breath.” Jace takes his sword and crosses his chest kneeling. 

“I will fight for you until my last breath.” Baela mirrors Jaces movements. 

“I will fight for you until my last breath.” I remove my sword from my back and fall to my knees. 

“I will fight for you until my last breath.” Ben takes his sword and places it in front of him kneeling. 

“I will fight for you until my last breath.” Addam falls to his knees beside us with his sword in hand. 

“We await your command, my Queen.” Corlys moves to Rhaenyras side as she wipes her tears away.

“All of you stand.” her voice shaky. “If it ever becomes too much out there fly to the Red Keep. I know I shouldn’t say this but I’d rather have you by my side than in a pyre. So if you need to leave the battle, then leave. Countless lives are going to be lost today for my father’s dream. I won’t lose you all.” she shakes her head steeling herself. “To your dragons and await my signal.” she nods dismissing us. 

Ben grabs my hand as we walk out of the tent. Our tensions and anxieties are high flowing between us. I squeeze his hand in support and he offers me a squeeze of my own. As we approach Silverwing and Vermithor they are affectionately rubbing their heads together. 

“My beautiful Silverwing and my fearsome Vermithor. We will fly as a unit today. Tight knit and no hesitation. We will all keep each other safe.” I look up to them with Ben at my side. 

They curl their tails around us and I’m sure from the outside it looks as if we’re all hugging. Vermithor and Silverwing softly chuff nudging us softly. They both lower their heads to us as we hug their snouts. Vermithor presses his snout into me while Silverwing does the same for Ben. Our dragons uncurl from us and we turn to each other. 

“My Ben, my love,” I raise one of my hands to cup his cheek while looking at him with glossy eyes as I pour all of my fear and anxieties out of me. 

“We will survive this. You still have to marry me.” he smiles down to me before placing a soft kiss on my lips swallowing my giggles. 

“My fearsome Vermithor,” he turns to his dragon. “You and I must protect our loves at all costs today. I care not who dies as long as Y/n and Silverwing live.” Vermithor drops his head and locks his eyes with Ben’s in agreement. 

“My beautiful Silverwing, let’s remind everyone why they’re so terrified of us.” I nod my head with a wicked smile as she offers me a deep grumble that vibrates the ground. 

“Do not die today.” I turn to Ben. “Or I’ll find a witch to bring you back and kill you again myself.” he grins and pulls me into his arms offering me one more kiss. 

“Of course, my Princess.” we separate and begin to climb to our saddles. 

We clip in and look around at the readying host. Across the field we can see the other dragon riders clipping in and awaiting my mother. My breath catches as I see my mother shoot into the sky atop Syrax. 

“To Kings Landing!” she shouts with a blade in hand as Syrax moves her around the host. 

Syrax gives out a shriek and then men begin to march. All of the dragons shoot into the sky and give out loud cries that spurs the men on. My adrenaline spikes as I see our host moving as one with dragons flying above them. 

Our pace has been steady and we will be approaching the city within the hour. The host is buzzing and the dragons swoop in and out of each other. We can hear the faint beating of war drums as our host begins to spread out around the city walls. 

Syrax lands in front of the host at the Gods gate where it seems the largest amount of men are. Ben and I land at her side as our dragons lick their teeth looking on at the men. Rhaenyra approaches and Cole emerges from the crowd. 

“Tell your men to lay down their swords and they may yet live.” she walks to Cole as Syrax is hovering behind her. 

“We will never bend the knee to a whore.” Cole spits out at her and Silverwing lets out a low growl. 

“You tell my cunt brother I will have my throne or I will take his head myself.” she looks down to Cole who laughs at her words. 

“You could never stand against King Aemond.” he shakes his head at her laughing.

“King Aemond?” she says taken aback. 

“Aegon is dead. Aemond now rules in his place.” a smirk plays at Cole’s lips. 

“Then I shall take his other eye.” she shrugs and goes to mount Syrax once more. 

“To battle, to glory!” she shoots into the skies and Seasmoke swirls around her. 

They disappear into the clouds and I’m hoping they will have no issue taking the Keep in through the Blackwater. I see Jace and Baela fly up into the sky and slide over the city walls with impressive speed. I hear arrows being loosed and pray to the Gods for their safety. From in the distance I see fire upon rooftops taking out scorpions and other weapons. I look to Ben and nod my head. 

“Fight for your Queen.” Ben shouts as Vermithor gives out a roar that causes the Greens host to hesitate. 

We shoot to the skies together as our host charges forward. I look down for a moment and watch the two hosts collide. There’s a symphony of metal and death in the air that spurs us into action. Ben and I go in opposite directions to start spreading fire upon their back lines near the wall. For a moment everything seems to be up in flames and once they settle the sounds of the dying fill the air. 

I hear a loud groan of wood and look to the ground and see them ready to loose a scorpion at Ben and Vermithor. My breath catches in my throat as I see the metal tipped spear flying at them. Silverwing and I give out a scream at the same time and begin flying in their direction. Ben turns his head at the last minute and they barely dodge it as the metal tip scrapes along Vermithors tail. 

Vermithor dips down to where the spear came from and flies low as I see Ben unclip from his saddle. All we can do is sit there and watch as Vermithor dips close to the ground as Ben stands on the saddle and dismounts off of Vermithors wing as he’s still in flight, long sword in hand. I lose him in the fighting and death and Vermithor flies to me and Silverwing as blood drips on the Greens from his tail.

made a "what if rhaenyra had daughters instead of sons" fancast – so now i feel it is only justice to do a "what if alicent had daughters instead of sons" edition.

[ elle fanning as alyssa targaryen. feel like some of her work in the great is very much a fem!aegon vibe. also obligatorily named after vizzy t's mama ]

[ freya allan/hunter schafer as aemma targaryen. viserys is BOUND to name a kid aemma if he had more daughters, i'm convinced. aemma would believe herself visenya reborn.

where freya has the environment/resources to suit a fem aemond, hunter schafer has the looks 1000% ]

[ anya taylor joy as daenaera targaryen. no notes, just felt like daeron had to be looped in here as the 3rd son ]

Jacobi and McKellen as grand marshals of New York City's 2015 pride march.

All Good Omens (show) fans will know Derek Jacobi as the Metatron. His brief role on Doctor Who is also getting a lot of mention in recent posts, but I'm not going to talk about any of that.

Like his Vicious co-star Ian McKellen, Jacobi has had a long and illustrious career in theatre, television, and film. McKellen and Jacobi met when they were at Cambridge.

I'm not a huge fan of the Daily Mail, but this article, an interview with the two actors, is quite interesting. I'll just quote this part:

Jacobi says he came out to his mother when he was at university. ‘She said, “All young men, go through this phase, don’t worry.” I remember saying, “Don’t tell Dad.”’ He doesn’t know to this day if she did. ‘I think she did, but I don’t know. But they were wonderful, my parents, not much was said but they kind of knew, they got it.’

McKellen hasn’t heard his friend talk of this before. ‘That’s the first time I’ve heard that,’ he says, genuinely moved. ‘I never came out to my family. Biggest regret of my life.’ It turns out he didn’t even come out to Derek at university, even though it’s always been reported that he had something of a crush on him. 

‘Yes, I did fancy Derek, but I didn’t act on it, God, no. It was illegal, remember. I do get on my high horse about it, because it was so difficult. There were no gay clubs you could go to. No gay bars, no gay newspaper, nothing. What there was was a bit sleazy, I suspect. One of the reasons I became an actor was that you could meet gay people. Even then everything was difficult. When you went to America they asked, “Are you now, or have you ever been, homosexual?” I lied on the form. It was a different world.’

I want to talk about Vicious for a bit, the ITV britcom in which Derek Jacobi and Ian McKellen play an aging gay couple, (respectively) a homemaker, Stuart Bixby, and an actor, Freddie Thornhill, for fourteen episodes.

Freddie (McKellen) tells Stuart (Jacobi) about a part he's hoping to get.

I had to add these for the Broadchurch reference.

It's a law that British actors of a certain age play this part.

I couldn't find one with Michael Sheen and the skull, but here he is in the role.

McKellen did the part again at 81 in an age-blind production.

Jacobi's big breakout was the titular role in I, Claudius on the BBC in 1976.

In the '90s, Jacobi played amateur sleuth and 12th century monk, Brother Cadfael on the ITV series.

I had watched some of Vicious before, but, spurred on by Jacobi's reappearance on Good Omens, looked for it again and watched both seasons a couple of weeks ago. Because I love a good fancast and Jacobi and Sheen (at least as Aziraphale) remind me a little of each other, I couldn't help but think that Jacobi and McKellen in their youth could have played a version of Aziraphale and Crowley. (There have been a couple of posts noting this about Jacobi, and that he might have been up for the part if it had been done soon after the book came out.)

Jacobi, left, and McKellen, right (obviously).

I also think that Tennant and Sheen could have pulled off playing Freddie and Stuart in a flashback.

An even younger version of Freddie and Stuart does appear in the series, however, played by Luke Treadaway and Samuel Barnett.

Also good casting! They do a great job playing McKellen and Jacobi playing Freddie and Stuart.

Shoutout to this post by @ember-knights, that suggested Good Omens fans should check out Vicious for a glimpse of what life in the South Downs cottage might be. And also to other posts mentioning Vicious and Good Omens in the same breath, as well as comparing Sheen and Tennant to Jacobi and McKellen (which I probably reblogged but can't find right now).

Cast of Vicious: Frances de la Tour, Iwan Rheon, Philip Voss, Ian McKellen, Derek Jacobi, Marcia Warren (Wikipedia). (Yes, the upstairs neighbor (Rheon) does go on to play Ramsay Bolton on Game of Thrones. He's a sweetheart in this, though.)

Now, I don't think Crowley and Aziraphale are the same as Freddie and Stuart, by any means. Freddie and Stuart say quite cruel things to each other. The characters become deeper in the second season; it’s a little sweeter than the first. I enjoy the bitterness of the first season too, though. It is funny, and Good Omens fans may enjoy watching it if only to see Derek Jacobi (who plays the Metatron) in a comedy role and a role that's sympathetic, especially if they are not familiar with his large and impressive body of work.

I don't think Aziraphale and Crowley's life in the bookshop as a couple, not just a group of two, or life on the South Downs, would be exactly like this, but there are somehow some similarities that I don't even know how to begin to pinpoint or explicate.

Crowley and Aziraphale’s affection is always so palpable and that’s not always clear with Freddie and Stuart. Crowley and Aziraphale are so loving that, even when they're bickering, it's joyful, even when they're arguing, even when they're coming apart (temporarily) at the seams, their love is undeniable. I don’t even think their breakup was toxic; although they were desperate at that point and hurt each other badly, it wasn't what they wanted. Sometimes it's that way.

And, lest I'm putting you off Vicious here, the Ineffable Husbands are a high bar as love stories go, but you will get to see some love and affection between Freddie and Stuart too, and I'd really love to see these actors work together more. (I am happy with how the show ends up, by the way.)

Toodle-loo! Hope everything is tickety-boo with you.
