FUN TBOS FACT ABOUT TIAMAT! she's very dreea coded!!! (which is funny to me bc it wasn't actually on purpose and i only discovered tiamat later on in my research and went 'wait a minute...' i love it when that happens). so tiamat is associated with serpents and dragons a lot of the time and she's also the mother of all the gods (and the goddess of chaos bc apparently she wasn't serving hard enough already). like she was not only one of the first entities in the mythology but she was regarded as ruling over all the others, and the creation story follows the rise of marduk via the slaying of tiamat, which is so cool of her to be quite honest. so there's the whole serpent imagery mother goddess thing there and she also birthed a shit ton of monsters which is ofc soooo dreaacore (im guessing these monsters are why dnd got its hands on tiamat? idk but if it is that's honestly fairs. i recommend looking up the monsters of tiamat/tiamat's creatures bc they're soooooo). i think you'd like this part of the mythology especially bc of how you write nobodies hero, but tiamat was eventually killed bc she was too hashtag real for everyone else and when she died she was sliced in half by marduk and "he made from her ribs the vault of heaven and earth. Her weeping eyes became the sources of the Tigris and the Euphrates, her tail became the Milky Way" how cool is that! also her son/lover (yeah...) was also beheaded and his blood mixed with clay to make the first humans. i love it when something divine is slain and their very essence is so powerful that it mixes with the surroundings to create something new like that is truly thee trope of all time. this is all from the enūma eliš which is a babylonian creation story btw. okay i swear im done

god thats so fucking cool that you just Know That

"I don't dislike Rhaenyra, I really don't. But it is BAFFLING to me that her struggles are 'I'm just a princess, I'm not even queen :(((( My life SUCKS :((('

Alicent's fans have the most mediocre opinions about Rhaenyra because they are only capable of victimizing Alicent. Also, during episode 7, when the eye incident occurs, Alicent and Rhaenyra haven't been friends for over 9 years. Alicent's only actions after the time jump are to pick on Rhaenyra and her children. Why should Rhaenyra care about Alicent? Alicent's speech in that episode is pure hypocrisy; she had already let Larys get away with murdering two people and stayed silent because it benefited her. Justice and duty can be forgotten as long as it benefits Alicent.

Alicent is also not the eternal victim that OP believes she is..

People who think Rhaenyra's struggles are "but I wanna be queen :(" really don't have good media comprehension. If we look at everyone else in HOTD the same way op is looking at Rhaenyra, then literally all of their struggles are "but I want that privilege!"

Rhaenys and Corlys want the throne or their blood to be on the throne. Viserys wants to be able to chill in his room with his figurines with no responsibility. Daemon wants to be Hand, the heir, or the prince consort. Alicent wants to chill with privilege and no responsibility at first, then wants her blood to be on the throne. Aegon wants to be prince with no responsibility or consequences. Helaena wants to chill alone with bugs and her kids. Aemond wants to be king.

Literally every person in this show wants to stay privileged but on their terms. That's not actually their issues and struggles, but if we're dumbing down Rhaenyra's story, everyone gets dumbed down too.

Rhaenyra has been demeaned and treated as less than because of her gender her entire life. She was forced into a marriage with a gay man who couldn't give her children while a majority of her worth still lay in her ability to give birth. Viserys never actually went out of his way to support her until his literal last day, he does the bare minimum to protect her or her children in court. She was abused by Alicent for a decade at least until she was driven from the capital. She was usurped, her children murdered, and was murdered by her brother. She is so much more than wanting to be queen, TG stans just hate to see that.

As for Alicent, she only cares about "duty and sacrifice" when it benefits her and/or her family. She clings to the morals of the Seven until it's her faction going against them. She's obsessed with her and Rhaenyra's former friendship until she can use it to try guilting/manipulating Rhaenyra.

In Driftmark, Rhaenyra was right on about Alicent. Alicent has been far from the saint her fans view her as and far from the martyr she thinks she herself is. She has abused Rhaenyra and supported Larys, allowed Aegon's bullying of Aemond and Criston's of the Velaryon boys.

Alicent should be asking herself where duty is and asking her faction where their sacrifice is. Rhaenyra has done her duty, she married who her father told her, she had children to be her heirs and Laenor claimed as his own as well (even though she had a lot of trauma surrounding childbirth). She has served on the small council despite how the men on the council don't respect her and Alicent constantly undermines her. Rhaenyra's only crime is refusing to sacrifice herself to serve the men around her.

Op purposefully twisting the events of the show to support their view that Alicent "always defended Rhaenyra" and "only did what she was told" is so frustrating. That view deliberately ignores that Alicent stopped defending Rhaenyra in episode five, the same episode where she chose to declare war on Rhaenyra. The ten year gap was her acting entirely independently from Otto. It also ignores how Alicent raised her children to hate Rhaenyra and her children, that's not defending Rhaenyra or doing what she's told, since Alicent had the most control over her children's lives.

Alicent isn't a perpetual victim, she's victimized by the patriarchy (show only), but quickly becomes a perpetrator of abuse and a constant supporter of the patriarchy. She sacrifices her own daughter in the name of Aegon's ascension. She hates Rhaenyra for not bending to the men around her and punishes her for it. Alicent benefits from bending to the patriarchy by second half of the season, and doesn't stop until she causes the Dance. She may work for the betterment of the men around her, but she does it of her own freewill after marrying Viserys.

☆ Star: send a short description of yourself and I’ll tell you who I ship you with!

im open to poly marauders! (Lowkey one of my favs so-)

my personality is very sarcastic and I have a dark sense of humor but I’m very kind and a good listener. I sort of have jealousy issues though and I can be quite sensitive and cry easily. I’m also really clingy and can be rather impulsive. I’m one of those burnt out gifted kids 💀 and get easily overwhelmed by crowds and strangers.

My hobbies are basically reading, listening to music, singing, doing art (although I’m not the best at it), and I’m obsessed with horror. My three main aesthetics are grunge, goth, and dark academia and I’m also pansexual!

i love your writing, it’s amazing and congrats on 400 followers! <333

If you want to participate in "TBOS' 400 600 Followers Celebration" too, you can look at this post for all the options of prompts you can choose from <3

I ship you with Marlene McKinnon and Remus Lupin. I know it's a weird combination, but hear me out. Marlene was absolutely obsessed with your aesthetics. She loved the way you dressed and was attracted to your vibe from the start. She saw you and she wanted, no, she needed to be your friend. She didn't even know she was queer until you started dating Remus, and the news that should've made her happy upset her.

"Guess what, Mars! Remus asked me on a date!" you told her with a smile.

"He did?" she asked, shocked, a soft tug at her heartstrings that she didn't understand.

"Yeah! He asked me to go to Hogsmeade with him."

"And you're sure it's a date?"

You were a little taken aback by her question. Up until that very moment, you hadn't second-guessed the nature of the outing. "You... Don't think it would be?"

Marlene noticed the change in your demeanor and wanted to punch herself for daring to upset you. "No, I... I'm sure it must be a date. Remus is, you know, he's a great guy! No need to second-guess yourself..."

"Right," you nodded, trying to regain your confidence.

In the end, it really had been a date. Remus had prepared everything. He took you to a bookstore and gifted you the book that seemed to interest you the most while you were distracted, of course.

Then you went for candies at Honeydukes, and in the end, you ended up eating something light at the Three Broomsticks. When you got cold, he gave you his sweater and wrapped his arm around you, bringing you closer to him. Remus was a true gentleman, and he was incredibly sweet too. So sweet that you had been the one to lean over and give him a goodbye kiss before the two of you parted ways for the night. Sirius, who had been staring, teased Remus relentlessly for the rest of the week.

As your relationship with Remus progressed, you felt Marlene start to pull away from you. She always had some excuse to not hang around, and at some point, you'd had enough. You waited for her as she walked out of her class and pulled her into a broom closet, closing the door when she tried to leave.

"Marlene, what the hell's going on? You've been avoiding me like the plague."

She looked like a trapped fox, as pretty as one too. "I've been busy—"

"—Don't bullshit me, Marlene," you interrupted her. "We've been friends forever. Tell me what happened."

"I think I'm gay."

You frowned at that; it was definitely not something you were expecting. "I... I'm sorry if I pressured you to admit that out loud, but... that can't be the reason why you've been avoiding me. You'd know I'd still be your friend regardless of—"

"—I'm gay, and I have a crush on you," she said all too fast before scurrying away from you.

You weren't sure how long you stayed in that cabinet trying to process what had happened, but one thing was for certain: you had to talk to Remus. The moment you spotted him through the halls, you ran for a hug. He was surprised but hugged back in an instant. "What's wrong, sweetheart?" he asked, his voice soft and soothing as he rubbed his fingers on your back.

"You know Marlene has been avoiding me," you said. He hummed in response. "She said it's because she has a crush on me."

"Oh," he said, staring at you intently. "And do you like her back?"

You frowned and turned to him, preoccupied. "No, Rem, I'm with you. I love you."

"That's not what I asked," he tsked. "There is no spoken rule that you need to only like one person in the entire universe."

You looked at him, eyes wide. "There literally is; it's called monogamy!"

Remus shrugged. "Since when have we been ones to follow the rules?" he said with a shrug. "I, for one, have always considered Marlene pretty. So… do you like her back?"

You hadn't even considered the possibility at that point, but Marlene was definitely stunning, inside and out, and you always got along incredibly well. She also had very nice lips, very kissable lips. "I think I might."

Remus smiled and gave you a soft kiss on the forehead. "We should probably talk to her then."

You two set out to find Marlene, and when you did, you talked to her. After a long conversation between the three of you, you decided you'd see how the relationship could work. It wasn't easy at first; you had to establish boundaries and other limits to the relationship. But eventually, you figured it out, and the three of you were more than pleased to have each other. You had Remus; whenever you wanted to chill, you'd hang out with him, listening to soft tunes while reading a book. Sometimes he'd even read aloud to you as you did your artsy stuff, be it crafts, paintings, drawings, or even sculpting; he was always ready to pass the time with you since he really enjoyed just being able to do that. And with Marlene, you'd hang out with her when you felt a little more outgoing, and you'd watch horror movies together on the telly or even do each other's makeup. It was simply perfect.

The low lamplight of the dungeon swirls in his eyes as he blinks rapidly, trying to focus on the glint of the dagger being rapped at the bars of his cell. “What,” he groans, “the fuck, Rin?” The thick scent of mildew hits the back of Nate’s throat as he breathes deep to match his racing heart.

Because of course it’s Herines, down here. The prince--king--piece of shit-- is obsessed. The guards on the night watch have disappeared, clearly on his orders.

a narines fic for @tbos-main!

I made the dumb mistake of wanting to play a "causes problems on purpose" gremlin this playthrough and then turning around and deciding my main companions are going to be Danse (I may hate them but I'm curious about this iteration of TBoS) and Curie
