~ Part 1 ~ Relationships

Narumitsu. // >:) It's my favourite ship ever atm, they bring me so much joy ahhh (I have thought about them non stop for 4 months omg)

Mia Fey x Lana Skye // In college they dated and or explored each others bodies so to speak. (not actual but that's my hc) (Also there's rlly good fanfics on ao3 that take place in a timeline where Mia didn't get conked and Lana didn't get Ganted which r rlly wholesome.)

The sheer intensity of Godot's love for Mia. // That is true passion.

Ron and Desirée DeLite // THE STRAIGHT COUPLE EVER. This is real love! At points you wonder if Dessie is just with him because he’s rich but no! She just really loves him. 🧡

Franmaya // Very swaggy. Wholesome and I LIVE FOR THE FANDOM INTERPRETATIONS OF THEM!! 🫶🫶

Klapollo // I haven't played Apollo Justice but I eat minor spoilers for breakfast. Klavier just decides from first sight. That is the one. "I've never felt this way about a man" And he just flirts with the short king while Apollo is oblivious but also is madly in love IDK AGAIN I HAVENT PLAYED THE GAME YET BUT I AM IN LOVE WITH THEM. (THE SHIP)

Faraskye // So cute, idk much about Kay Faraday but their designs together r rlly cute and I've seen a few edits of them which r rlly wholesome. 🫶

Doug Swallow.. x Feenie. // I read a fanfic about them and da bunch of objection.lols and I'm ngl they grew on me.

Maggey x Gumshoe // The age gap is iffy to me but they are extremely wholesome. (Weenie lunchboxes, anyone? :3)

Adrian x Franziska // They are similar, that's for sure. I can't help but feel the perverse power dynamic though that would likely be their undoing. Or maybe, They could change each other for the better. Adrian lets Franzy get more acquainted with her softer side, and Franzy teaches Adrian to be stronger and more confident! Ok now I have to write a fic about that. Feel free to use that idea, my treat.

April May x Ini Miney // I saw some fanart of them on Pinterest 😼 They both got a bit of an act goin, but they r very cute.

Dahlia Hawthorne/ Melissa Foster x April May // April and Ini's acts, dialled up to 11. I read a really good fic of them. I drew them too and I would do it again :)

Franziska x Ema Skye // (As adults) Pretty wholesome ngl.

Mia x Lana x Godot. // I dub them the hottest polycule in anime. This is assuming that Lana isn't lesbian (likely story.) and we would have to do some timeline gymnastics to give these three a happy ending but I think they would make a very good poly ship :)

Lana x Angel x Mia // Kinda popular on Tumblr, actually. (I just remembered I am ON TUMBLR right now...) Very cute. I want to draw them.

(I had a rainbow sherbet mother energy drink today 🤤 It tastes like nerds, would recommend.)

Edgeworth and Franziska siblings // They are bouncing in my head like a screensaver constantly. I love Sound the turnabout melody because it shows us how much love Franzy has for Miles.

“Why’d you go and dress him (Miles’ dog) up?”

“I thought it would make you smile..” IMSOBBING

And when Miles becomes Manfred’s disciple, Franziska is off to the side, literally in the shadows. But what does she do? The sweet girl who wants nothing more than to follow in her beloved papa’s footsteps and become a great prosecutor, watching as her papa gives his attention to the boy he took in as his own? She gives that boy the biggest smile she can muster. Her little head is filled with nothing but love and admiration.

Even as an adult, Franziska admires Miles. Her main motivation for even BEING in the second game revolves around him. It is made clear that she isn’t going after Phoenix because of her father, but because of Miles. She believed that Phoenix was the reason for Miles choosing death, and she was NOT going to let him get away with it. (I will add more later, I could go on about them for hours.)

Ema and Lana Skye // I think about them at least once a day, let Lana go see her sister PLEASE she's done her time ok let my girls be happy and investigate together... 🙏 anyway Lana risked and lost so so much to protect Ema..

Dahlia and Iris Hawthorne // Iris loves her sister so very much. Dahlia sees her as dirt. Been thinking abt them alot today. Iris was willing to help with Dahlia’s schemes despite not being evil herself.

Phoenix and Maya sibling relationship // They will forever be siblings to me lel.

By extension I feel like Mia and Phoenix were like family cuz they were like 🥲 all they had

Signal samurai trio // Especially as kids they r so fcking CUUUUTETETTEEE give me lifeee

Also narumitsu art where they are kids makes me so happyyyy cuz they r so!! adorable!! <3

Phoenix and Trucy being father and daughter // 🥲 Phoenix, can.. Will u be my father too? 🙏 (father issues) They are the adhd dad & adhd daughter representation we need but ya'll aren't ready for that information. (Direct quote from a post I made on my main 💀💀)

Gumshoe and Edgeworth friendship. // Trust. They have their own ways of showing their respect for each other 😭 but they work very well together and r close even if they don't act like it! (Or if Gumshoe's salary reflects it. 😭)

MIA AND MILES’ DYNAMIC. // I love how many interpretations there are of these two’s relationship. For one we got them being besties. I love this and yes I have drawn art of it. Then theres them hating each other’s very guts. This is reasonable! Also interesting. I wish we were able to see Mia’s reaction to the reason Phoenix became a lawyer. That would be very interesting. Anyway they live in my mind. Novice bimbos forever <3

Phoenix and Franziska friendship // When they manage to tolerate each other they r very cute and fun!

Trucy and Franzy auntie and niece relationship // This one is specifically because of the "How to court a fool in three months" fanfic. But they work so well together and I rlly want to see more ppl to utilize them :)

Miles and Gregory Edgeworth // All the art and posts about them are so very wholesome and Gregory seemed like a great dad. (I can't wait to learn more about him in AAI :3)

Manfred VK and Miles Edgeworth //

Drops this and runs but I run into a pole and get knocked unconscious 😵‍💫 I posted this btw 😵‍💫

Will be adding more cuz VK fam r the only thoughts in my brain rn.

Larry Butz.. and Maya Fey.. but their relationship is that of a fun uncle and silly niece. // This one may need some explaining. This is very much projection cuz these two remind me of me and my uncle (literally the funniest dude I know) Well not actually my uncle but a family friend. But yk.

Then I played... 😡 trials and tribulations 😡 And this bitch ass Butz was flirting with Maya! WTF?! Was that necessary?? Did anyone laugh at that? No! I could write a whole essay on how Larry's character got obliterated throughout the trilogy. He went from one of my favourite characters, to me actually cheering a little when he had something bad happen. (I still love him tho and choose to pretend that he doesn't become a shell of himself after the first game.)

(“Not exactly a friend… but yes, I know him” Cracked me tf up. Deserved lmao.)

---Not plot relevant spoilers for bridge to the turnabout ---

Going off from that I want to touch on Larry and Pearls friendship. // This had potential! Just kidding! It was ruined from before they even saw each other. Larry hears Pearl over the phone and goes "oH wHaT a CuTiEeE!" in a weird way. My c*nt that is a whole 8 year old child. But if we IGNORE THAT GRRRRRRRRRRRR.

I like in the anime adaptation of farewell my turnabout, Larry is rlly nice to Pearl :) And in bridge to the turnabout, this could be a hot take but I think the whole 'loser shack' thing was hilarious. Larry was so enthusiastic and boisterous and Pearl was just like yeah guess I'm here.. and as soon as Phoenix comes around she turns her full attention to him. Idk I just thought that whole exchange was charming.

-- Hints at sexual shit ahead if you don't want to read that then all g — I removed some cuz idk 😭

These ones are just for shits and gigs.

Phoenix and Larry college situationship. // Had to throw a bit of a curveball at ya. I don't fucking know why this is in the back of my head but it is.

Ema and Franziska // This was from like one person on twitter or Tumblr but I like it. Bitter exes, get it. ��

If by some miracle Edgeworth isn't a virgin (and also isn't asexual of course!) by the time he actually gets with Wright then I think he would do it with Gumshoe or agent Lang. Trust. I refuse to believe he would ever think about a woman that way 😭 And also the man's just married to his work he don't got time for that.

But why Lang gotta go around telling him to be a good little pretty boy or whatever the fuck gay stuff he says to him. (I have only seen a few screenshots, I have yet to meet Lang in the game 💀💀)

Anyway I just had to get that out there lmao. Don't take this too seriously 🤣

That's all for now! I was typing this for about 2 hours longer than I expected. Anyway please share your thoughts in the comments or tags!

Have a great day or night and if it is night then... please go to sleep. (5:22am 😻) Goodnight

Update:

Stfu tryna give people advice on when to sleep when I pulled an all nighter this week and got very disoriented the next night or maybe the night after (last night?!) because the last 48 hours had merged together to form a blur 😭

[queen0fm0nsterz]

Reading my fave thin man and lady fic. Kicking my feet a lot because tbh. Sometimes a sad man really is just a weird woman's science project in a way that is so homoerotic

i love final fantasy.

What Are They Like On Social Media (Headcanons)?

feat. luffy, zoro, nami, sanji, usopp, robin, franky, and brook

requests open for other things like this!

Luffy

nami made him make an Instagram account and he did so... BUT NOT WITHOUT DOWNLOADING 8 VIRUSES THE MOMENT HE GOT ONTO IT

he started clinking on every ad he saw, of course, and now he's got to pay 100000 dollars by the end of the month or else world government will find him.

he took that as a challenge.

basic, but his username is kingofthepirates or strawhat69 or something

maybe even a pun or some shit bro

follows anybody he even slightly likes and comments dumb shit on all of their posts.

ex; luffy commenting on a post robin made w chopper "can you ask him if reindeers are real?"

takes weird angled photos of his friends and posts them (ex. forehead shots)

Zoro

username is bestswordsmanofficial

usually posts training videos, but also sometimes puts on his story a cry for help to his friends cuz he got lost again

also not the most tech savy guy

i get vibes he would straight up record himself coughing to death and post it

he went viral once, actually.

was dragged by nami to be a backup dancer for one of her tiktoks

stiffly dancing

on snapchat, he uses weird filters like the broccoli one and just sent it to everyone he knew.

Nami

username is nami.venmo.me

probably makes scams in order to get money

she has two accounts; a scamming account and a real account (both under similar usernames actually)

on snapchat, she and usopp have a 200+ snapscore

they both contemplated jumping ship when they messed it up..

matching pfps with usopp too! ex.;

nami is cookie monster, usopp is screaming man

Sanji

username is lovecook_sanji

other than posting the food he makes, he also posts aesthetic photos of him crying💀

ALSO posts photos of baths with rose petals that he only made cuz he wanted to be desperate in the caption like "such a beautiful place... i just wish that... someone could share it with me... :("

out here posting "i wish i was beautiful :(" posts for attention and zoro out here commenting back "i wish you were too💀"

blocked zoro after that

tags ONLY nami and robin in his posts whenever he posts the group

"the rest of them are just some guys 🙄"

Usopp

username is god..usopp

also is in charge of the strawhat official social media accounts

nami makes the aesthetically pleasing posts while usopp posts the funny hahas

like that time luffy slipped off ship with his mouth full of food (and bcuz he can't swim w his devil fruit) so he almost sank to the bottom

plugs his personal acc on the strawhat official acc too much

luffy used to be the manager of the account but that acc got banned...

so usopp was given the job to make a new one and manage it (no luffy you can't write the caption)

Robin

username is nico.robin

mostly posts about the books she's been reading, such as reviews

formats them nice and neatly

all her posts are very aesthetically pleasing

besides book reviews, she posts a lot of chopper

she's like a mom in that way making her kids pose for photos and takes photos as much as possible

overall very pretty account

Franky

username is franky_da_cyborg

when not posting inventions, he posts crewmates doing random things

doesn't have to be weird at all most of the posts are just straight up usopp making a sandwich or robin reading

all posts are very low quality tho lol

Brook

username is musician-brook

obv posts him playing music but also posts himself saying terrible dad jokes

"singing in the shower is fun until you get soap in your mouth. then it's a soap opera."

he got the phone confiscated for that one

apart of nami's backup dancers for her tiktoks

actually works it

go grandpa go!

all right reserved. do not repost or copy my work but relogging, comments or feedback is very much appreciated! Thank you.

As someone who is also a despicable me fan I’d love to hear some headcannons for Valentina (as someone who struggles with making headcannons I’d like to hear some from another persons view)

Thank you very much for your question. I couldn’t even imagine that someone would be interested in my opinion about the DM characters!

Unfortunately, the summary about Valentina is quite vague, but this has its advantages. So the field for thought becomes much wider ✍️✍️✍️

I'd like to start by saying that Valentina is an ally, but also independent of Maxime and his views on villainy (not like Harley and Joker.) This makes her not only a modern woman but also a strong character if the writers aren't lazy. It’s a pity that her summary and explanations contain no specific facts, other than the fact that she is cool and a proponent of a healthy lifestyle💀

• I think that in her relationship with Maxime, she is the voice of reason. Even if he believes that he's the head of the family, he makes the final decisions after considering her reasonable arguments. She's able not only to convince Maxime, but also to cheer him up in the worst times, even if it doesn’t seem so at first.

• Compared to Maxime's bright appearance and eccentric behavior, she silently shows who is trash here.

• She, unlike Maxime, is a perfect pilot of their giant ship. Plus, judging by her emotions in some of the shots, she really enjoys it! In this, I understand her 🏎️💨

• Sofía Vergara claimed that Valentina's arrogant personality also concealed a soft side. I believe that this side is personified in her dog, who, in contrast, looks very friendly. At first I even thought that it would be better for them to even swap pets with Poppy.

• I think she was that rich straight-A student in high school. BUT! It wasn't for nothing that she was considered the coolest girl at the Lycée. She looks very intelligent, reserved, and calculating, which is perfect for a villain. C'mon, she got her boyfriend out of jail?!?!?

• She has a whole ritual of preparing for going out, from beauty procedures to choosing outfits and combing her pet's hair. But Maxime still gets ready longer, even though he has half as much to do.

• Valentina looks like a trendsetter. She probably has a whole collection of branded shoes, handbags and other luxury items.

• Valentina is SINCERE in her relationship with Maxime. Have you seen the shot of her smiling enthusiastically when he shows her his invention? God, I want to wish this dynamic for everyone who wants to find a healthy relationship.

• I'm convinced that she knows a lot about humor, and in a way that not everyone will understand: Valentina will joke with the same serious face and voice as usual. You just need to listen to the words. (Perhaps her vibe is somewhat reminiscent of Daria series?)

• I think she actually doesn't treat Gru badly and may even enlist his help in the film. At the meeting, she simply doesn't care about Gru and everyone else. But she'll only help to take revenge for the sake of Maxime... as long as it's sounds like a good idea

• I think that before her relationship with Maxime, Val was disdainful of insects. However, she then worked through the issue and became neutral with it. By the way, she vibes like a dragonfly, don’t you agree?

• Val had to get used to the fact that her partner was special not only in personality but also... Well, in general, at the moment she has no problems with Maxime's features. Great message about accepting other people. I respect that!

• She may be soft on the inside, but she doesn’t act like she’s being overly cute. She looks like an adult woman and shows gentleness, attention, and care like an adult too.

• She often has to save Maxime from trouble, even from the stupidest ones, like a flytrap. But it doesn't annoy her at all🤲

• I am convinced that Valentina was the one who instilled self-confidence in Maxime and offered him a way to present himself, based on his hidden qualities!

In any case, I am sure that the relationship between Valentina and Maxime will be harmonious not only within the framework of being villains, but also as ordinary people. They don't look like people I'd want to wish bad things upon.

I made a post on Reddit titled "Hot take but I feel like many if not most Stolitz antis are either homophobic or just hypocrites" and I even had to clarify at the end that not all Stolitz antis are like that. Cue the replies harassing me, taking it as a personal attack on them and making baseless accusations about me. One of them even sarcastically said "Anyone who disagrees with me is wrong and bigoted" as a way to make fun of me. I never said anything remotely similar to that. I don't think they bothered to actually read past the title where I explained that Stolas and Blitzø meeting as children is compared to a bad fanfic when that never gets said about straight couples in media who met as children and that people who hate Stolitz for what it is now only tolerated it when it was just a running gag, as if they can't stand it when gay relationships are being taken seriously. I also mentioned that even non-homophobic Stolitz antis complain about how toxic it is and then turn around to ship Blitzker. (Blitzø x Striker)

I had a similar experience. It's so stupid because like, some of them aren't even subtle about it. Same for chaggie antis. I remember seeing a post talking about how much Charlie doesn't get enough dick, so she's unsatisfied and needs Alastor. Like... I'm sorry, what?

A lot of the arguments stolitz antis are literally inherently bigoted. Like how they want Stolas to be paired with Stella instead even though he's gay. And STILL hating him for "cheating" after The Circus even though he's a gay man being forced to marry an abusive woman? Idk, that's... a red flag 💀 The same people saying stolitz is one sided were the same ones saying that Stolas and Stella were in love not to long ago... sounds like heteronormativity...

And a lot of them are Stella defenders? Sorry that I came to the conclusion that the people doing mental gymnastics defending the cishet abuser calling the gay male abuse victim the abuser may be homophobic 😭

Like, it's not that different from female characters who get hate while the same people shitting on her praise fictional men who are worse or do the same shit. There are clear double standards here. These people turn around and praise cishet media with very similar writing, characters and tropes as Helluva Boss. And not only that, but it's not even just about their relationship specifically. Like, I have a theory that the whole controversy about Stolas being an "abusive" father is because of the stereotype that queer people can't be good parents. And the whole "child and parent have conflict but make up in the end" trope happens in fiction all time (example: Danny Tanner, Jeff Morales, Doofenshmirtz, ect.) Weird how it only became abuse and neglect with Stolas and Via.

Some people are blantly saying they wanted stolitz to "stay a joke", and it feels obvious to me that a lot of them just like queer characters who are queer in a goofy "dark humor" way and not an actual character with queer struggles and/or queer relationships.

People who say "but I disagree and I'm not homophobic!" Be expecting you to give them a pat on the back or something, I swear 💀 Like... good for you? Thanks for not being a bigot? Do you want a reward?

What I don't think people understand is that if they're not homophobic, then the post isn't about them. The fact that they're getting so defensive about posts directed at no one in particular is just weird because it looks worse than it would be if they just kept scrolling. Now it just kind of seems like Freudian Slip.

No one was looking at you until you said something

Of course they're not all the same, but I've seen people straight up call them the f slur

Sorry that happened to you. Just remember that Reddit is INFAMOUS for being toxic, so don't take what people on that app have to say to heart. Like, it's up there with Twitter and Tumblr...

And wouldn't you know it? Those are the 3 sites I see the most Stolas and Blitz hate.

Interesting

[sanflawoah]

The Ochiba and Toranaga situation is interesting and all, but it's also very funny spicy when you think about it. Their only interactions in the show are just Ochiba throwing bombastic side eyes and Toranaga being ".....???" like he's just confused wtf is her problem.

Just saying that the book lowkey ships them it was so funny, almost cursed even.

Chapter 56 (Ochiba's thoughts) -

"....Marry Toranaga? Buddha protect me from that shame, from having to welcome him and feel his weight and his spurting life.

Shame?

Ochiba, what is the truth? she asked herself. The truth is that you wanted him once—before the Taikō, neh? Even during, neh? Many times in your secret heart. Neh? The Wise One was right again about pride being your enemy and about needing a man, a husband."

Chapter 58 -

"...Suddenly Ochiba wished that Toranaga was here beside her and not Ishido, that Toranaga was master of Osaka Castle and master of the Taikō’s treasure, Protector of the Heir and Chief General of the Armies of the West, and not Ishido. Then there would be no problems. Together they would possess the realm, all of it, and now, today, at this moment, she would beckon him to bed or to an inviting glade and tomorrow or the next day they would marry, and whatever happened in the future, today she would possess and be possessed and be at peace."

Chapter 56, (after she secretly had sex with that peasant who resembles the Taiko) -

Then, just the other side of the wood, Toranaga had been waiting for her. Had he seen her, she wondered in panic.

“I was worried about you, Lady,” he had said.

“I’m—I’m perfectly all right, thank you.”

“But your kimono’s all torn—there’s bracken down your back and in your hair….”

“My horse threw me—it’s nothing.” Then she had challenged him to a race home to prove that nothing was wrong, and had set off like the wild wind, 

There were other lines of Ochiba having h0rny thoughts and it's just-💀💀💀

In Ochiba's POV, she did considered reasonable alliance with Toranaga. Overall, her reaction to being suggested into marrying Toranaga was like ,"Fuck no... unless?"

Meanwhile, Toranaga's reaction to the suggestion was straight up "what the fUCK-".

[sigyn-foxyposts]

What your myth! Loki ship says about you:

⚠ Just a heads up! I am doing this for fun and to see if I understand our community right! I'm by no means trying to hate on anyone who actually ship these things! Ships have just..always been so interesting to me, and I thought it would be fun. Did I forget someone? Please let me know! ^^

Loki + Sigyn = You can't get over how tragic yet passionate their love is. After all it's the only thing we have of them together and somehow it makes the message of loyalty and compassion between lovers even stronger.

Loki + Angrboda = Either you're here for the tragedy that was their love, what could've been if only Odin didn't take away their children.. or you love the tall witch wife and small gremlin husband dynamic (me too :3)

Angrboda + Loki + Sigyn = You're tired of seeing the wives being pinned up against each other, heck it isn't even cannon to the mythology. You just want to see them all happy together while kissing. They deserve their polycule!

Loki + Gullveig = You don't actually ship them but if they had a relationship, it would be something along the lines of: one night stand parents trying to do what's best for their baby. Or you think Gullveig is actually Angrboda! 👍✨

Loki + Glut = You thought Loki and Logi were the same person. Now you either regret it and feel bad for believing in it or stick by it wholeheartedly. 🔥

Loki + Hoenir = Want to kiss your homies good night? Friends to lovers is your thing or you're there for the possible angst of letting a young lover go because it was never meant to be. 😔

Loki + Odin = You thought they could go deeper than being just blood brothers, didn't you? Ohh..the angst and pain you put yourself through for them.

Loki + Heimdall = You're torn between the fact they don't actually have to hate each other vs the way they clearly have a love/hate relationship + obvious tension. If they ever fought in front of you, you'd probably shout inappropriate things at them. 🤨

Loki + Svadilfari = You try everything In your power to forget what really happened between these two and tried to fix the story for the better..💀

Loki + Thor = Let me guess, the reason you like this is because of Marvel? If not you have a thing for the bratty twinks and their giant straight boyfriends that haven't realized he is bisexual yet.

Loki + Baldr = You either stand by the headcannona that Loki killed Baldr because he loves him (one-sided or not) and tried to protect him from Ragnarok. Or you have the "I hate straight people so I'll force these two to date even though they don't go well together." mentality. No, there isn't anything in between for you. 😭

Loki + Hodr = For some reason you just had to see the potential angst between these two! You love the dramatic storytelling of being betrayed by your lover, making you do their dirty work! You poor being, what happened? 💔

Loki + Sif = Possible exses? Secret affair? You live for the drama and desperately want to know what happened between these two.

Loki + (potential) farmer man = You wish we had more good representation of Loki being with a another man. (I agree!) So when Odin accused Loki of being a milkmaid and having children, it opend a whole new world to inspire you!

Loki + Skadi = The lokasenna was enough for you to decide they totally dated in the past. Also you love spiteful exses that will threaten to kill your children if they don't shut up…😨(spoiler: Loki didn't shut up)

Loki + Zisa = I don't know why you'd ship them If their "affair child" was supposed to be a secret but I guess you're into the drama. Anyways Zisa isn't real..she can't hurt me. 😌

[eddiediazismyhusband]

I had to see it and suffer and now others must know as well. There is a gifset that one of T's fans made, I kid you NOT, the gifs of Buck they used are dead ass from the 'you wanna go for the title' kitchen scene with Eddie and then they added gifs of L from some show other than 911. And the comments are legit shit like...."I will never get over the way Buck looks at him' and 'oh that boy is so in love with his man' and 'that belt grab he wants him so bad' and the best of all...'as if he would ever look at anyone else including Eddie the way he's looking at Tommy here'

I can't

I'm legit terrified of these people. They absolutely know that is a Buddie scene and Buck is looking at and talking to Eddie in that scene. They've just decided to pretend and headcanon it as a BT scene. And have decided to gif it as if it's real! and tag it as their ship name. WHAT?!?! HOW THE HELL DID WE GET HERE!?!?! They're just out here straight up changing scenes to be about T and just expecting everyone to think that's normal. I'm terrified. This is cult level shit.

it absolutely is borderline cult activity from some of the fans.

now in the spirit of being fair it is not all of them, but the unfortunate fact is that the people coming across as having this cult-ish worship of tommy and lou ferringo jr are the loudest among them so we have to see their shit front and center.

i have blocked so many people and filtered out so many tags to prevent seeing that stuff bc at the end of the day it’s either just pure delusion or rage bait, so i’ve found best to ignore it and not give these people a platform.

i know it’s hard to, and i am definitely guilty of not ignoring some of the crazy stuff, but when you do it can relieve so much stress.

At this point (especially with clownery like that) it’s probably best to just block the user and ignore it… bc at that point, that’s just blatant stupidity that they’re watching buddie scenes and trying to act like it’s s scene between their ship 💀💀

i definitely understand it’s annoying to see and hear all the time but that’s why i stay away from fandom twitter and instagram, and keep my tumblr dash to strictly my mutuals/people i’ve intentionally followed… yes sometimes things leak through the cracks but it’s often much less impactful that intentionally seeking it out (if that makes sense)

just take a deep breath and keep your head up, anon. these people will be proven wrong sooner or later, we just need to be patient and ignore their bullshit the best we can 💕💕

[not-goldy]

Why do I feel we're being played? Like these grown men get bored, hop online, decide to cause chaos & dip just to watch the timeline burn. SIGH And when it happens here go shippers arguing the same thing. My ship is real. No mine is. Jk's telling us something. No he's telling us something. Tae's telling us something. No he's telling us something. Same copy/paste argument. Tae drops a song Friends knowing he has Friends with Jimin with his sus obsession writing songs for Jimin in the past, while posting a Tk account to his IG and its Vmin vs Tkk. Not to be outdone by Jk who likes a Tk edit, while simping over Jimin in comments and its Jkk vs Tkk. And everyone knows they're fighting the same argument but don't care. What are you doing? Stop it. And I hate to call them out, but its Tae and Jk the ones for several months specifically engaging with shippers on both sides.

All I gotta say is Jimin baby, keep minding your business, you're doing amazing, sweetie. Now because of that follow & unfollow from Jk on an account with Jimin's name, he is the one being mocked. Not even 2 seconds after they realized Jk unfollowed that account, the mocking & name calling started. If I were Jimin I'd snatch that damn phone outta Jk's hands and tell him to start paying closer attention to stuff regarding me. That man is just trying to serve his time in peace & Jk caused him to catch a stray cause he can't stay off Jimin pages. Lord have mercy.

Fascinating

Wish I was bothered😩😩😩😩😩😩🤣💀

Jikook do worst things than this.

If he unfollowed its cos someone made him aware he'd followed and was creating a mess in the Fandom. To that person I say- snitches get stitches 🔪

But if it's content he's consuming does it even matter?? Bro watching himself gawk at Jimin while Jimin bringing him to edge of nutting- does it matter if he likes or follows the account?

We've been saying for years those two a very much aware of the shipping narratives the gay expose and they don't care- unlike straight celebs who get so offended they start staying away from eachother and roasting eachother.

Watch Jungkook knowing damn well just how gay we think he and JM are with eachother come out and say his favorite moment from MS was a night he and JM slept arm in arm naked to keep themselves warm. Watch him come out to say he's limping cos JM manhandled his balls.

When I tell yall he knows what he's doing when he says things like this bite mark on my neck is from Jimin or let's eat Ramen or Jimin can handle all this.

He can't stay off JM pages sounds about right.

Let me not catch anyone throwing Jimin in the mix dude drinking water staying hydrated and working out his glutes

Hold on brb

Masterlist

It was nightfall before Daemon escorted Viserea back inside the walls of the Keep. He offered to escort her to the dragon pit, but she rejected his offer, saying she had not slept properly in two days and all she wished for was a decent night’s sleep.

Thankfully, she was granted exactly that. The next day was a day of mourning with no council meetings being held and the sun was shining bright through her windows when she finally awoke. The handmaidens were called to her chambers and she was dressed in dragon riding attire. She greeted Rhaenyra in her room, who after taking one glance at how Viserea was dressed, immediately got dressed in her own riding attire.

They were escorted to the dragonpit and mounted their respective dragons and began flying. Neither needed to say where they were going in order to know. Soon they were greeted with the shores of Dragonstone and Viserea felt a weight lift off her shoulders.

The two landed in the field where there was plenty for their dragons to eat and walked to the far edge of it before either spoke.

“Do you remember when we snuck off right before your tenth nameday?” Rhaenyra asked, settling down in the field and Viserea joined her a moment later, giggling at the memory.

“Yes. I have never seen so many ships showing up to Dragonstone at once.” Viserea’s smile spread across her face slowly, “Or your father’s face turn so red.”

Rhaenyra laughed loudly at the memory and Viserea felt her stomach jump multiple times at the sound.

“You took the fault, saying it was your idea to run away.” Rhaenyra added, looking over at Viserea.

“Even at ten, I knew how much power a nameday’s wish could hold. How could they be mad at the child who just wanted to celebrate her nameday with her closest friend?” Viserea nudged Rhaenyra’s shoulder with her own.

“I think that day is one of my favorite memories. It definitely started one of my favorite traditions.”

“Traditions?”

“Sneaking off to fly here any time we needed a moment away from being the two princesses of the realm.” Rhaenyra answered and Viserea laid her head on her shoulder.

“It has always felt more like home than the keep has. I may know the grounds of the keep more, but Dragonstone will always be the home of the Targaryens.”

“Do you believe home has to be a place?” Rhaenyra asked, her voice curious.

“In what way do you mean?”

“I have visited Dragonstone without you by my side before and it did not hold the same feeling. I could never place why until Alicent and I were in my chambers last night. She held me as I cried, but it brought me only a small portion of the comfort you brought me, and I realized that I was wishing you were there to hold me. You were always the place that brought me the most comfort.” Rhaenyra’s voice had turned shy at the end and Viserea could feel her heart hammering in her chest as she lifted her head from Rhaenyra’s shoulder.

The hours Viserea spent alone in her room pondering her jealousy of Rhaenyra and Alicent’s friendship and realizing why she felt that jealousy, the terror of losing Rhaenyra as a friend, and the guilt she felt at her own inability to be happy for her when a handsome lord offered her his attention played through her mind in a blur.

“You have always been mine, too.” Viserea finally said, afraid to say any more in case Rhaenyra’s words didn’t mean the same to her as they did to Viserea.

“Rea, look at me.” Rhaenyra said, turning her body to face Viserea.

Viserea sat up straight and did as she was told, looking at Rhaenyra and holding her gaze even if the action made her entire body shake slightly.

“Dragons are meant to burn together, we feel safest surrounded by fire. You are the fire that surrounds me when I feel as though I am drowning in the seas. I need to know for my own sanity’s sake if you feel the same.”

Instead of replying, Viserea leaned forward and pressed her lips against Rhaenyra’s. Her world simultaneously came crashing down around her and was rebuilt in the same moment. As she felt Rhaenyra’s lips push back against her own, she felt the new world built stronger. Her world no longer consisted of the pain of so much loss surrounded by the walls of the keep, it was now the feeling of hope surrounded by the very air they flew through while on dragonback.

She wasn’t sure how long their lips stayed connected before Rhaenyra was pulling Viserea onto her lap. Viserea’s hands went into Rhaenyra’s hair while one of Rhaenyra’s hands rested on the girl’s hip and the other on the back of her neck to keep her close. When they finally pulled away from each other, both were breathing heavily and had flushed cheeks.

“I don’t think you truly understand how long I have been wishing for that moment,” Viserea said, her forehead leaned against Rhaenyra’s.

“My apologies for keeping my princess waiting,” Rhaenyra said, smirking up at her.

“You’re forgiven as long as you promise it will not happen again.” Viserea replied, with her own cheeky grin.

“I do not believe myself to be able to go without your kiss anymore.” As if to make her point, Rhaenyra kissed Viserea again and laid back, dragging the other down with her.

The two laid in the grass for a while longer with various topics being discussed between kisses. It was only when the sun began to sink behind the clouds that they finally rose from the grass and headed back to their dragons. Halfway back to King’s Landing, they began shouting joking insults to each other which resulted in a race back to the pit. The two landed at the same time just as they had earlier that week and allowed their dragons to be brought back into the pit.

“One day you will have to show me how you get in so much trouble wandering through the streets.” Rhaenyra said in a low voice as they were escorted back to the keep.

“It will have to be after a day of celebration. I’m not exactly accompanied by a guard and there are only two people in the city I trust to keep me safe.” Viserea told her in the same volume.

“How do you know you can trust them?” Rhaenyra asked curiously.

“Apparently they know of our uncle. He has bought their loyalty to the Targaryen family and I pay my share when I need their services.” Viserea told her honestly. Rhaenyra looked as though she was considering the answer and gave a slow nod.

“I guess gold is a powerful weapon, perhaps even more than Valyrian steel.” Rhaenyra finally replied.

“I wonder if gold is powerful enough to buy the silence of our guards or if we’ll have to find more clever ways to sneak to each other’s rooms every night. I don’t think they will believe that my dreams are suddenly visiting every night.”

“I believe you forget our power as the princesses of the Realm. The only person who holds more power than us currently is Father. One command from us as their princesses and they will be silenced unless Father asks them; and Ser Harrold and Ser Ryden both adore us so I don’t think they would betray our trust unless they had to.”

Viserea locked eyes with her cousin as she thought over what she had just said and the confidence in her eyes was enough to make her believe it.

They reached the keep and were helped out of the carriage. The two made their way to the kitchens where they were greeted with surprised faces. The staff smiled as they grabbed the random foods they wanted and made their way back to the hall that held their chambers.

The two walked into Rhaenyra’s chambers and placed the food on the footrest of her bed. While Rhaenyra bathed and dressed in her nightclothes, Viserea ate, and the two switched once they were finished. With full stomachs and smelling of the rich oils that littered the bathroom, the two eventually curled under Rhaenyra’s sheets.

They continued talking through the night, somehow never running out of topics to discuss. When one topic would seem to come to an end, it would spur on another conversation about a topic related that would only be interrupted when one of them pressed their lips to the other’s. Their responses to each other became more and more labored as exhaustion won over, and in the dark of night, the two fell asleep with Viserea’s head on Rhaenyra’s chest and their arms wrapped around each other.

When the morning sun began creeping through the windows of Rhaenyra’s room, two knocks awoke them from their slumber. Rhaenyra answered the door while Viserea stayed standing out of sight, and when they realized it was just the handmaidens coming to gather Rhaenyra for the first council meeting of the day, they both relaxed. Rhaenyra allowed the two women inside,

“Princess Viserea is also here, she stayed with me last night as I did not wish to be alone.” Rhaenyra informed them, though neither of the women were surprised to see her.

“It is no bother, princesses. I am happy to see that you two have each other as you both go through a difficult time.” Viserea believed the woman that said it was named Laera, though she couldn’t remember the name of the younger maiden that had joined her.

“I will go and retrieve Princess Viserea’s handmaidens as they are looking for you, also. The King Viserys said you both are to attend today’s council meetings to avoid any confusion of who’s duty today’s would be since none were held yesterday.” The younger girl left the room before anyone could respond, though she returned moments later with both of Viserea’s handmaidens in tow.

After the two were both dressed and their hair had been styled, they made their way to the council room. For once, neither were late and both arrived at the same time as the rest of the council.

Seeing the king made Viserea’s blood run cold, though she made sure not to show it. Aemma’s death flashed through her mind and she forced the images back. She couldn’t let her own feelings of the matter get in the way of her duties. Getting under Otto Hightower’s skin was one thing, but outwardly showing her new distaste for the king could very well end her life.

Two jugs of wine were on a table off to the side instead of one so that neither princess would be empty handed as they sat in on the council meeting. They placed the cups and filled each of them before the king sat down, signaling the start of the meeting.

“Before we begin, Your Grace, I have a report I feel compelled to share.” Otto says, causing Rhaenyra and Viserea to look at each other from where they stood on opposite sides of the table. “You know, Your Grace, how I cannot abide by gossip-“

“Please, Otto, gossip on.” The dread in Viserys’ voice was not lost on Viserea or Corlys as they both looked at each other with smiles that they were forcing back.

“Last night, Prince Daemon bought out one of the pleasure houses on the Street of Silk.” Otto said. This caused Viserea’s smile to drop quickly and she looked to Rhaenyra.

Anytime Otto mentioned Daemon’s name, it was sure to be an insult of some sort. The two had spoken before of how they viewed their uncle with a similar respect and, sometimes, envy. They were both protective over him and both of the dragons being prodded in the same room was not a smart idea for anyone who did not wish to be bathed in dragon fire.

“For what purpose?” Viserys asked Otto. Rhaenyra and Viserea looked between each other and the two men, having no more wine glasses to fill.

“To entertain officers of the City Watch and other friends of his.” After a brief pause, Otto continued on, “He toasted the passed Prince Baelon, styling him, ‘The Heir for a Day.’”

Viserea felt her heart hammer in her chest, not believing it until Otto went on to further say he had multiple witnesses who viewed the evening as a celebration. She locked eyes with Rhaenyra again and was met with a pained look equal to what she felt.

Both of the girls jump as Viserys sends his wine glass to shatter on the floor of the council room. Viserea and Rhaenyra move at the same time, both in sync with each other and not needing to verbally communicate to work in tandem. As Viserea carefully cleans the wine glass off the floor and reassures Viserys that she is okay to do so, Rhaenyra fills another glass for him and sets it a couple inches farther away from him than the previous.

The council meeting continues as normal after the outburst was made, though both girls stay suspiciously quiet. Viserea can feel Corlys eyeing her more than once in suspicion. Where one of the two would usually voice their opinion, they are quiet. They give each other brief glances as they move to keep wine glasses filled, but neither speaks a word.

The council meeting runs longer than usual, having two days worth of issues to handle instead of one. When they are finally dismissed, the Princesses only have enough time to speak to each other in the halls on the way to their lessons.

“Do you believe he said it?” Rhaenyra asked. She did not need any more clarification to understand what she was asking.

“I wish it was a lie, but the Hand is not a stupid man. An accusation that could cost the Rogue his tongue or even his life is not one to be made without solid proof.” Viserea is careful as she speaks. Names are easier for those to translate from Valyrian, so she makes sure to only use the nicknames the two had given the various members of the council to maintain secrecy.

“I hate that I feel more anger for my father than I do for Rogue. He has not spoken to me since mother’s funeral and now Rogue gives my brother that died in the cradle such a treacherous name and it is my father that I hold more anger for.” The Valyrian sounded enchanting falling from Rhaenyra’s lips, especially when spoken in anger. If it wasn’t for the topic, Viserea knew she could listen to her speak in it for hours uninterrupted.

“I agree with your anger, though it is for different reasons. I spoke to Rogue of the dream, among other things, once Rhaenys’ Hill had cleared and it feels as though he has used the contents of the dream to further mock him.”

“Did you tell him of the entire dream?” Rhaenyra asked, “I know you’re withholding part of it to prevent me some pain and I am not asking you to tell me of it…”

“You just wish to know how deep the betrayal I feel is?” Viserea questioned and Rhaenyra nodded, “He knows of the whole dream. I also told him how I view our family and he still made the remarks.”

“Yet you still hold more anger towards Father than him?” Rhaenyra questioned.

“Issa. (Yes.)”

“Is it because Father did something I do not know of?”

“Issa.”

“Do I need to know of it, or would it only bring me more pain over something I cannot change?”

“He regrets what he did, you do not need to hold the anger or pain that his actions would bring you.” Viserea looked to Rhaenyra who was already looking at her. Rhaenyra looked at her a moment longer then nodded.

“I trust your judgment.” Rhaenyra replied as they approached their meeting place with the Septa.

Their afternoon lessons went by quickly and Viserea welcomed the distraction from the betrayal she felt due to Daemon’s actions. Learning about the Old Gods of Valyria was more comforting than pondering over the current valyrian descendants' familial issues.

When the girls were informed of Viserys’ absence from dinner for the third night in a row, Viserea could not help the anger she felt. She had grown used to the feelings of grief, but she did not understand how a father could abandon his daughter to deal with those feelings on her own. Viserea thought Rhaenyra herself might breathe dragonfire when it was a member of the Kingsguard that came to collect them instead of Viserys himself.

“Father.” Rhaenyra greeted once they enter the altar room.

“Your Grace.” Viserea greets, changing her usual greeting to one of formality.

Rhaenyra notices the change in greeting and briefly looks at Viserea, but turns her attention back to Viserys instead.

“You haven’t spoken a word to us since Mother’s funeral, and then you send your Kingsguard to collect us?” There is no mistaking the anger in Rhaenyra’s voice. It mimics that in which Viserea feels.

“Balerion was the last living creature to have seen Old Valyria before the Doom… Its greatness and its flaws…When you look at the dragons, what do you see?” The King’s question is directed towards Rhaenyra, but both of the ladies are clearly taken aback by it.

“What?” Rhaenyra asked him.

“Answer me. It’s important. What do you see?”

“I suppose… I see us.”

“Tell me.”

“Everyone says Targaryens are closer to gods than to men. But they say that because of our dragons; without them, we’re just like everyone else.”

Whatever answer Viserys was looking for, Rhaenyra seems to have given him. He looks pleased as he turns to Viserea next,

“And what do you make of your dreams?” He asked.

Viserea took a step closer to where he and Rhaenyra stood, taking a moment of her own to gather her thoughts.

“Many Valyrians, Targaryens and Velarions alike, have prayed to Tessarion to give them the gift of dreams. It adds to our illusion of being closer to gods than to men, as do the dragons, but my dreams could stop tomorrow the same way dragons could stop choosing to obey our commands. Then we are the same as everyone else with only lilac eyes to say we were different at one time.”

Viserys nods at Viserea’s answer, being just as pleased in her answer as he was in Rhaenyra’s.

“The idea that we control the dragons is an illusion. They are a power that man should have never trifled with - one that brought Valyria its doom. And, if we don’t mind our own history, it will do the same to us.” Viserys looks back and forth between both girls before settling his attention on Rhaenyra. “A Targaryen must understand this to be King… or Queen.”

Viserea feels her breath hitch for a moment at what Viserys is implying, but does not interrupt or reach for Rhaenyra’s hand as she so desperately wants.

“I’m sorry, Rhaenyra. I’ve wasted the years since you were born wanting for a son. But, you are the very best of your mother. I believe, as I know she did, that you could be a great ruling queen.”

“Daemon is your heir.” Rhaenyra argued.

“Daemon was not made to wear the crown, but I believe that you were.”

“You summoned Viserea here with me.” Rhaenyra pointed out, bringing Viserea slightly out of her state of shock and causing Viserys to look at the other princess.

“You two have not been separated since birth. I cannot make you both Queens of the Realm, but I know that you two will have great influence over each other.” Viserys said, his eyes flickering between the two.

“She will be my Hand of the Queen.” Rhaenyra said quickly, causing Viserea’s head to snap towards her.

“Rhaenyra-“ Viserea started, but she was interrupted by her.

“No.” Rhaenyra looked to her father and held eye contact with him, a look of determination on her face, “Viserea is to be named my Hand when I am named your Heir. You brought her here because you knew I would value her opinion over everyone else’s. You know what naming a woman your Heir will cause. I will not risk Viserea becoming an object of the background.”

Viserys looks to Viserea, silently asking her if she wants what Rhaenyra has offered to her. When Viserea nods, Viserys speaks again,

“This is no trivial gesture, my Princesses. A dragon’s saddle is one thing, but the Iron Throne is the most dangerous seat in the realm.”

Viserea subconsciously stepped closer to Rhaenyra, now directly behind her right side, as if already prepared to protect Rhaenyra from whatever may come to harm her. Visery let a small smile cross his face at the sight though it quickly fades.

“I’m going to tell you both something now. It won’t be easy for you to understand, but you must hear it.” Viserys said, drawing both of their attention, “The histories tell us that Aegon looked across the Blackwater from Dragonstone and saw a rich land ripe for the capture. But ambition alone is not what drove him to conquest. It was a dream.”

Viserys allows both of them a moment to grasp what he has said and Viserea’s heart jumped in her chest. She doesn’t stop herself this time from gripping Rhaenyra’s hand.

“Viserea is not the first Dreamer since Daenys, who saw the end of Valyria. She is the first since Aegon, who foresaw the end of the world of men. It is to begin with a terrible winter dusting out of the distant north. Aegon saw absolute darkness riding on those winds, and whatever is within, will destroy the world of the living.”

“What is it? What’s in the darkness?” Rhaenyra voiced Viserea’s thoughts.

“If Aegon knew, he never said. But he saw that there would be a light brilliant enough to stand against it: the fire of dragons. Whenever the Great Winter comes, all of Westeros will have to stand against it. And if the world of men is to survive, a Targaryen must be seated on the Iron Throne. A king, or queen, strong enough to unite the realm against the cold and dark.” Viserys pulled his dagger from its hilt and held it in the light of the fire, allowing the flames to dance across the surface bring light to the engravings, “Aegon called his Dream ‘The Song of Ice and Fire.’”

Viserea feels Rhaenyra start to return the grip on her hand as if the two were drawing strength from each other in that moment.

“This secret has passed from king to heir since Aegon’s time. Jaehaerys was able to unite the realm as one again, but if any war is to happen again before the Song… I believe it is time that the king or queen has a trusted ally to help carry the secret. You two must both promise to carry this secret. Carry it and protect it. Promise me this, Rhaenyra. Promise me this, Viserea.”

Both of the Princesses respond as one,

“I promise.”

“Tomorrow the lords of the realm will gather in the throne room and pledge their loyalty to you as my named heir,” Viserys looks from Rhaenyra to Viserea, “and to you as the future Hand of the Queen. When Jaehaerys told me of the Song, I did not sleep that night. I ask that you two do not escape on dragonback or run through the city streets tonight. Find comfort within the walls of the keep, however you may need to.”

When both of them agree, Viserys dismisses himself, leaving the two standing alone and speechless for a long while. They both silently leave the alter room, their hands still intertwined, and it isn’t until they reach the privacy of Viserea’s chambers that Rhaenyra speaks.

“I apologize if I have spoken for you tonight. If you do not wish to be my hand, I understand.” She said, causing Viserea to turn to look at her.

“You have offered me the highest honor in the realm besides the throne itself. There is nothing to apologize for.” Viserea told her, sitting next to her and leaning her head on her shoulder.

“I assumed since I would value your opinion over anyone else’s, it seemed only right that you sit beside me and actually get to wield that power.”

“Better me than another cunt like Otto.” Viserea doesn’t realize what she has said until the words leave her mouth, but by then she and Rhaenyra have both turned to a fit of giggles.

Once they finally calm themselves, Rhaenyra sighs.

“I suppose tonight we will have to sleep in our own beds. I feel that tomorrow we will be awoken with a sense of urgency that would not be aided if we are having to be tracked down.” Rhaenyra’s words sadden Viserea, but she knows they are true.

“At least that’s one thing that can be changed once you are Queen. It will be much easier to see each other when I am moved to my own room within the Queen’s apartments.” Viserea pointing out this fact brought a smile to Rhaenyra’s face.

“I suppose you’re right.” Rhaenyra gently placed her lips on Viserea’s and stood.

“I’ll see you in the morning, Nyra.” Viserea said, kissing Rhaenyra’s hand before letting it fall.

Rhaenyra stood at the front of the throne room while Viserea stood at the front of the line of lords gathered to pledge an oath of fealty to Viserys and Rhaenyra. Rhaenyra was dressed in an intricate gown of red with golden embroidery and jewels dancing across the chest and arms. A golden cloak embroidered with dragon heads rested on her shoulders. Viserea wore a red gown of her own, though she wore no cloak and her embroidery was silver and danced across the torso and chest of her dress. Both wore the headpieces that Daemon had gifted them for Viserys’ coronation as children. While Rhaenyra could not wear the necklace he had gifted her, Viserea wore the earrings and had allowed Rhaenyra to borrow her ring for the ceremony.

“Viserea, the Winter Dragon, of House Targaryen, Princess of the Realm.” Grand Maester Mellos’ voice boomed over the crowd and shocked Viserea back to the present.

With each step closer to Rhaenyra, Viserea felt her anxiety and nerves melt away and allowed herself to look like every inch of the power she held, standing tall and keeping her face impassive. She would be the first to swear loyalty to Rhaenyra, and then the rest of the lords would swear their loyalty to both of the Princesses. Viserea did not need a dream to know that this was what was right. She was meant to be by Rhaenyra’s side, as both her wife and as her hand. While she may only be able to be by her side as one in the present, Viserea was willing to wait a hundred lifetimes to stand beside her as her wife. The day would come, and she knew it.

Kneeling, Viserea spoke the modified set of words that only she would speak that day,

“I, Viserea Targaryen, the Winter Dragon, swear my loyalty to King Viserys and his named heir, the Princess Rhaenyra. I pledge fealty to them and shall defend them against all enemies in good faith and without deceit. As Hand of the Queen, I will give my life to aiding her rule and helping to protect and better the Realm. I swear this by the old gods and the new. If I fail, may Tessarion take away the gift of Dreams.” Viserea had argued for her modified versions of the usual oath of fealty and promises of the Hand, and after an argument that the Grand Maester said would take five years off of his life, her version had been allowed.

Viserea stood and, as she walked to stand next to Rhaenyra, saw Viserys give a small nod to her. Turning to face the gathered lords, Viserea kept a face of confidence and power.

“Corlys of House Velaryon, Lord of the Tides and Master of Driftmark.” The maester said next.

Corlys walked up to the two and kneeled before them,

“I, Corlys Velaryon, Lord of Driftmark, promise to be faithful to King Viserys and his named heir, the Princess Rhaenyra, and her named Hand, the Princess Viserea. I pledge fealty to them and shall defend them against all enemies in good faith and without deceit. I swear this by the old gods and the new.”

Viserea offers Corlys a nod of respect as he stands, having always admired the man.

“Lord Hobert Hightower, Beacon of the South, Defender of the Citadel, and Voice of Oldtown.”

Viserea had met Hobert only once and was utterly unimpressed. Perhaps it was Viserea’s unwillingness to say her faith was in the Seven and hers instead lied with the Gods and Goddesses of Old Valyria, but she knew the feeling was mutual.

“I, Lord Hobert Hightower, Beacon of the South, Defender of the Citadel, and Voice of the Oldtown, promise to be faithful to King Viserys and his named heir, the Princess Rhaenyra, and her named Hand, the Princess Viserea. I pledge fealty to them and shall defend them against all enemies in good faith and without deceit. I swear this by the old gods and the new.”

Viserea offers no nod to the Hightower Lord or the next lords that pledge their loyalty, but she pays attention to which lords show their obvious distaste of the oath.

When she could, she would look around the throne room, hoping to see the familiar long, blonde hair that usually gave her comfort. Viserea was unsure if she was relieved to not see it, or if it only added to the sense of betrayal she felt.

“Boremund Baratheon, Lord of Storm’s End.” The statement snapped Viserea back to the present and she locked eyes with the man.

He is one of the ones Viserea takes mental note of. His eyes flicker back and forth between Rhaenyra and Viserea and Viserea squints her eyes into a glare. The look on both hers and Rhaenyra’s face makes the lord kneel and recite the oath.

“Benjen Stark, Lord of Winterfell.” Grand Maester Mellos calls forward Viserea’s cousin and she wipes the angry look from her face, instead offering one of warmth and respect.

When Benjen approaches, he gives both of the princesses a small, but genuine, smile as he kneels.

“I, Benjen Stark, Lord of Winterfell, promise to be faithful to King Viserys and his named heir, the Princess Rhaenyra, and her named Hand, the Princess Viserea. I pledge fealty to them and shall defend them against all enemies in good faith and without deceit. I swear this by the old gods and the new.”

When he stands, both Rhaenyra and Viserea give him the same small nods of respect Viserea had offered Corlys which the Lord returns.

“The Winter Dragon” was a name given to her by the Starks when she was still a babe in the womb. She had grown up hearing herself referred to as such, and it was when she was ten and three that she asked for the name to be used when she was announced. It was a way for Viserea to ensure that the memory of her mother or Winterfell’s loyalty to her was not erased.

When the last of the oaths were sworn, Viserys rose from behind the two and they turned towards him. He held eye contact with both of them as Rhaenyra nodded and then Viserea, promising again that they would carry and protect the secret. Both turned back to the room of lords and Viserea went to stand next to Benjen and his son Rickon as the Maester placed the golden collar around Rhaenyra’s shoulders.

Viserys voice carries over the room this time,

“I, Viserys Targaryen, first of his name, King of the Andals and the Rhoynar and the First Men, Lord of the Seven Kingdoms and Protector of the Realm do hereby name Rhaenyra Targaryen the Princess of Dragonstone and heir to the Iron Throne.”

Viserea held eye contact with Rhaenyra for a moment before following the lead of the rest of the nobles in the room and kneeling in front of her.

*blinks rapidly*

Wha…..

A gay ship for straights….? There’s so so so much to unpack here.

Homophobic, bobs, bitch, terf, fetishizers, bedbugs( again what?), are they just incapable of ever picking a single name to call anyone? Lord knows they can’t do it for their own sinking ship but my god 💀💀💀

Bt is the ship gay/queer men like- uh well I’m a very gay man and I am absolutely counting down to the millisecond they break up and I never have to see that bland unseasoned saggy soggy noodle disguised as a wooden plank with the emotional range of a stone again. Their obsession with acting as if they speak for entire groups of people will never not amaze me.

They don’t even like buddie they just like to make gay jokes um again what 😭😭 what gay jokes??? And weren’t they just accusing us buddies of being homophobic yet fetishizing at the same time and defending anything in support of buddie? But we don’t like them???

Make it make sense 😭😭😭

Oh yeah honey, they make no sense. I had MULTIPLE people telling me to "shut up and enjoy Oliver Stark making out with a hot guy" but somehow, I got called fetishizer for still wanting buddie. We just like to make gay jokes but which ship has the weird inappropriate jokes? They don't make sense at all. And to say buddie is the ship for the straights is crazy because off the top of my head pretty much all of my immediate 911 bubble has their own alphabet 😭😭😭 like, you darling, you're a gay man, I'm a queer woman, the lesbians are all united in their love of Eddie Diaz, I don't know where they got that one from, I think I can count the straight people I've met through the buddie fandom in one hand. It's insanity.

Alright I got woken up at like 3 AM with FORBIDDEN MEMORIES™️ and remember that MelloNear literally had a fandom video game. What other fucking fandom has SHIPPING VIDEO GAMES.

I think it just hit me since recently I've been thinking a lot about how fandom spaces shift over time (especially as we have re-boots, live-actions, or other media that helps reinvigorate fandoms like currently with A:TLA) and honestly, MelloNear has had so many ups and downs and like…as someone who was in this fandom WAY too young and grew up with it I want to see how many people on tumblr, who were there in ye olden wild west days, remember the stuff I do and also for those of you who weren’t around back then but are big now, here’s the insane history that I remember:

1 - LiveJournal (LJ) and the LOST FICS LJ was initially one of the better places to find fics – but a lot of authors jumped ship when FF.NET started to take over and for other reasons that were before my time. Finding fics on LJ that haven’t been deleted was/is hard and their UI is trash I never could get a grasp on it. (The irony of FF.NET now being dead and people jumping ship to AO3 and Tumblr lol.) Astyzia_ii used to write really fucking good MelloNear stuff there. She was one of the first people I ever read that had insanely good Near characterization. Unfortunately, her account no longer exists. But some of the things she wrote were things like:

Near being a total brat (at the time, no one else was really writing Near like that. Including Near lying to Mello about being assaulted by other children at Whammy's, just generally putting him in his place, etc.)

Mello painting Near’s nails black (then this trope just went off on FF.NET and everyone was writing fics like that - I really like when stuff like this comes out of fandom)

Mello finding out that Near, despite being in love with him, thought Mello was so unapproachable he had sex with someone else (implied Giovanni) and Mello is basically confronting Near about it at a time when Near was treated as a prudish virgin in fandom

Finding each other in the apocalypse AU

Mello and Near being like high school sweethearts (salthearts?) and Mello wanting to go to a University in the BIG CITY but would ignore the offer if it meant staying with Near (and super tragic fic too. They pull over on a freeway after an argument about it and then Near just straight up gets hit by a car after pushing Mello out of the way 💀 and you don't know if Near survived)

And obviously, many more really creative AUs

2 - KurosakiAkane and VIDEO GAMES Akane, as Spanish artist and the original “cursed moons” drew some of the most viral and prolific MelloXNear doujinshis and EVEN MADE FANDOM VIDEO GAMES. Like I can’t believe I forgot about this. Akane literally made fandom yaoi video games and they were SO GOOD. What other fandom has shipping video games you’d think it’d be the norm I can barley wrap my head around it

Pretty sure her website (www.cursedmoons.com) is down so you can’t download them directly from there or see her full doujinshis anymore

Her DeviantArt account is still live so you can see some stills and teasers from her doujinshis.

Her LJ account is also still live but more so as an archive.

Her first game “D.nD Poisoned” can be downloaded here if you scroll to the bottom (but I haven’t checked the link so be wary…) but it was basically taking place during Whammy’s days, and yes, Mello has a knife cause he’s unhinged since those were just the times ig.

“D.nD Infection” was her second, unfinished game, which would have been when they were mid-Kira investigation post Mello blowing up the base. I found a website that hosts the short demo she released.

Her games literally inspired a new wave of AUs for the fandom in the fic department and she was just a titan who kept everyone together on all corners of the internet. When she decided to leave the fandom in like 2011 after 2010’s great FF.NET purge of M rated fics it kind of felt like the beginning of the end.  

3 - Doujinshis (fandom comics) Most doujinshi artists had their own websites and MANY were Japanese / Chinese translated into English (pretty sure Akane was the first one to create them exclusively in English...). There are so many archived on YouTube that I used to watch all the time. You can even still find some of Akane’s doujinshi’s on Youtube like:

January

Lost Innocence

The Last Birthday

Game Over

Chocolate Kiss

One of the ones that was most impactful on me was this one that I cannot remember the name of, and it wasn't by Akane, but basically Mello, freshly 16 trying to stay alive, resorts to prostitution, and the big revealer at the end is he’s just kind of left there, alone, opens up his hand and there’s a little white puzzle piece he stole from Near and pretty sure the last line was something along the lines of “no one else” and I just 😭

4 - Lost Art and the Famous Water Colours

A lot of that water-colour MN art you see floating around was from, if I'm not mistaken, a Chinese MelloNear artist and their website I think was just "w" or something and she had created 100s of MN art.

5 - ForbiddenSoul562 and FF.NET Beef and Fan Fic Rap Battles

Soul was one of the BIGGEST creators on FF.NET (and luckily, she’s still active both on FF.Net and here on tumblr!) I remember when she had like a fic battle with another creator FragilePuzzle (who is also on tumblr and active – but they post M-ll-M-tt stuff now and pretty sure they deleted all their MelloNear fics... Their active handle on tumblr is mizzmellos I think? Anyways, they’ve also switched from writing to art and its really good!) And there was like a whole “vote who you think wrote the better fic” and it was like Clash of the Titans. Shame that Fragile, as they used to go by, doesn’t like MN anymore since they also wrote a lot of really good stuff. When Fragile stopped posting and Soul went on an extended hiatus that also felt like another beginning of the end loooooool (pretty sure Soul and Mzz had an interaction here on tumblr reminding each other of each other and I had so much social anxiety I was like headbanging watching this interaction go down and if I'm remembering correctly it started cordial but didn't really end well but I could be 100% misremembering the tone of the interaction but if you dig through Soul's tumblr you can probably find it or mzzs for that matter.) 6 - Kids Writing Dark Tropes

I feel like I should make another post and just…describe how Mello and Near were portrayed individually and in a relationship during that time since it was honestly insane. Very toxic, very star-crossed lovers who revolve around each other but are devastating together and are healthier a part, and so much more. I’m much happier with where their characterization and how the fandom has evolved currently from those times lol. But I think over the years I’ve also realized how fucking young all of us were (I was literally like…13 consuming all this media which retroactively, I’m like YIKES 18+ is 18+ for a reason and I even realized some of my favourite authors / creators who I thought were way older than me or like “cool teenagers” were also close to my age and not that much older so no wonder we were all writing crazy unstable relationship shit like that - which can be fun! - but this was literally all. the. time.).

Honestly that’s all I can remember for now but what a wild ride. I know FF.NET is like, a super hard platform to use now (and just gets worse every day 🙃) but if anyone wants some MN fic recs from the vault lmk and I’ll make a post about it.

So I just read the demo for the first time and… are you okay? Like do you need to talk to someone? Cuz holy shit, that was depressing. Don’t get me wrong, it was great, but I am just mentally, emotionally, and physically drained now (don’t ask me about that last part). All in all, I really enjoyed it, but I do have some thoughts.

Firstly, I don’t understand how anyone from Rosea (except for Hunter, Fadiya and her mom, and maybe Helios) has any fans. Like did they just forget that everyone else (including Lancelot) contributed to the total destruction of our family? Everyone’s over here shipping Lancelot and Luceris, and to be fair, if this was a different story I would too, but like… they’re the enemy? Speaking of Luceris…

Dude is on some shit. Like I get it’s the point, but everything about our relationship with him just feels weird and wrong, and I’m counting the days til we can kill him. Until then, I guess I’ll have to make do with disrespecting the memory of his dead wife at every opportunity. Also side note, but as a Straight Male tm it does feel a little weird having to fake a romance with another guy, especially a guy that’s like fifty years older than me lol (Luceris really isn’t beating the Catholic Priest allegations)

The rest of the cast are a lot of fun, and I’m glad they all at least have sympathy towards MC. I think Hunter is the coolest character ever and I want to be them, and Fadiya can do no wrong in my eyes. Vincent sucks, but I haven’t really spent much time with him so maybe that’ll change. Helios I feel sorry for. He’s a nice guy and I do like him a lot, but he’s unfortunately collateral damage in my crusade against Father Luceris. I hate that we have to hurt him to get revenge, but it feels very realistic and gives your decisions a lot more weight.

On the flip side, Soarine is perfect and has never done anything wrong in her life ever. If Soarine has a million fans, then I am one of them. If Soarine has ten fans, then I am one of them. If Soarine has only one fan then that is me. If Soarine has no fans, then that means I am no longer on earth. If the world is against Soarine, then I am against the world.

All in all, I love what you’re doing with this game, even if I do have to take a twenty minute break after each playthrough just to decompress lol. I can’t wait to see where this goes and am gonna stare at a wall until the next update drops. Thanks for making such an interesting story and give Soarine my love 💚

Lol hi, anon!

First of all, I'm fine 😭 I'm like that one happy guy that writes horror whose name I keep forgetting but I bet someone knows who I mean.

Regarding the characters from Rosea that are not all that great having fans, I don't know why that's unexpected to you if I am being honest lmao. In every fandom I've ever been in, there have always been people that like the antagonists. I enjoy Lancelot and Luceris' dynamic but I feel like that's to be expected since I literally created them. 💀 The day I write in all of the side couples you'll combust. /j

But also you don't have to fake a "romance" with Luceris? 😥💀 I can only think of the husband comments MC can make and those are entirely optional so...

I'm glad you like the other characters! Soarine is indeed everything. 🙇‍♀️

Thank you for your kind words! 💗

Can't wait till this blog is old enough so posts start showing in main tags, but for now, a salty lil rant

Shipping aside, I'm surprised by how Laios + Marcille even as friends doesn't get as much fan attention as I expected considering how heavily the series focuses on their development? I consider Laios to be the protag and Marcille to be the secondary protag but I can see the argument for the two of them being dual protags especially starting from around Thistle's house arc / Marcille becoming the dungeon lord. The protagonists are party members who bond over losing and finding a loved one. They save each other multiple times and live with each other in the end. They get copious amounts of screentime together and separate. They clearly care for each other and love each other (in whatever way). And there's no forced romance.

Before I read the manga, I saw all the yuri on my TL and was like YESSSSSS I'M READING THIS FOR THE YURI WOOOOOO and finished the Red Dragon anime episodes like "wow that was soooo good and gay. Let me go on Tumblr to see what people are talking about— people are shipping Marcille and LAIOS??? Probably annoying straight people who cannot conceptualize a friendship between a man and woman 🙄". So I started out with a squick for the ship. I think the fan perception made me believe F/M is canon and anything else would be like queer erasure? Except I later learned no ship is canon and was genuinely confused when the manga started giving us L/M crumbs (like the succubus chapter) because I thought the shippers were pulling this ship from thin air lmao.

The more I read, the more I was like.... "okay.... why are they kinda... okay I get it now... why am I.... oh shit... I'm really in it now" and I apologise because I really get it now 😭 and it baffles me to see people who have seemingly finished the manga going "Laios and Marcille have NO CHEMISTRY their only line of connection is through Falin". Like, okay, maybe that was how they were at the beginning (but I would argue they have chemistry even from the first few chapters), but that's the POINT and we get to see them evolve and get closer because they both love and miss Falin. Laios moves on from being "Falin's brother" and Marcille moves on from being "Falin's friend". L+M know about each other's deepest, subconscious desires. Marcille lives with the siblings at the end. No matter the bond, they are the two most precious people to her.

I was still squicky about romantic L/M even at the succubus chapter (which I know is probably the starting point for a lot of shippers) but THEN THE RABBIT CHAPTER. And after that when the Canaries found Marcille and she immediately jumped onto Laios I was like "Oh fuck. I'm really in this now fuck fuck FUCK". (Nothing makes me get into a dynamic more than having an initially squicky reaction because I'll need to have a strong enough conviction to overcome the squick LOL)

Anyways. Seeing people being annoying and pissy about L/M only made me like L/M more 🤡 because at least the shippers appreciate their bond. I'm a little desperate here. Even their platonic bond is kind of a rarepair in the English fandom 💀

I'm so glad the anime is going at the pace it is now because this is only the beginning of the L+M development!!!! The anime onlies will understand later!!! I made the same mistake and judged too early and I'm sorry!!!! So many anime L+M moments and panels and crumbs yet to be seen 🥺

Anyways. Laios and Marcille's bond is absolutely central to the plot and character development. But I wouldn't have guessed that if I didn't read the manga and just based it off fan attention.
