Kabru has a secret admirer in the castle!

#running from my responsibilities (drawing armour) by imagining post canon Kabru fashion #minor spoilers in the tags!#royal advisor Kabru’s office is probably overflowing with gifts from foreign dignitaries eyeing him up for marriage #and sacks of perfumed letters from Melini citizens #Marcille would be so sick of it #Laios also has his fair share of proposals #Yaad is like … boys spare us all and pick a suitable candidate already #well Yaad there’s a saying that goes two birds one stone #anyway lol #someone might have suggested to Laios ‘hey Kabru works so hard. you should show your appreciation.’#Laios (blushing sweating): uuuh how do i do that #Marcille probably: i hear it’s customary to give your royal advisor flowers the same colour as their beautiful blue eyes #Laios: well if you say so #but he starts having second thoughts bcs what if the gift is too romantic #so then Laios is like oh i know i just won’t sign it (:#fool proof plan Laios good job #totally not taking into account that Kabru can recognize his penmanship at a first glance #so at their next meeting Kabru is like ‘i wonder who my secret admirer in the castle is 😉’#and Laios sweats so hard he falls out of his throne #doesn’t Kabru of Melini have a nice ring to it #better yet …. Kabru Touden #much to consider #dungeon meshi #dungeon meshi spoilers #kabru #kabru of utaya #labru #if you squint #wasabi doodles

still baffled that one popular anti-dany argument pre s8 was that since she was wearing black she leaning toward the Dark Side™...... as if in the same series another unambigously heroic protagonist didn't enlist into the night's guard where everyone must wear black, and the series' author wasn't explicitly against this kind of stereotypical tropes lmao

#like mind you the antis were right. this was very much what got was aiming for with her wardrobe #...... but they were SO dumb for this. so incompetent #i can't take it seriously because of all the reasons i mentioned above #it's not simply an anti dany thing; it's anti asoiaf core themes #grrm really put an effort in deconstructing so many simplicistic fantasy tropes (beauty = goodness&ugliness/deformity = evil.#the knight core beliefs - where the truest knight in the 7 kingdoms is an ugly young woman etc.)#what's next? we are supposed to root for the starks because their house colors are grey/WHITE and therefore inherently good? lol #also targaryens' colors are black and red. of course dany was wearing them when she finally came to westeros #a song of ice and fire #game of thrones #got negativity #daenerys targaryen #val speaks #val rambles in the tags #txt

"It is too easy to dismiss [Leonor of Navarre] as an overambitious schemer who would do anything to obtain a crown, shedding the blood of her own siblings and her subjects in order to attain the throne. However, a deeper investigation of her long lieutenancy and ephemeral reign shows a woman who fought tenaciously to preserve her place but also worked tirelessly to administer a realm which was crippled by internal conflict and the center of the political schemes of France, Aragon, and Castile. She tried to broker peace, fight off those who opposed her, repair the wounds caused by conflict, protect the sovereignty of the realm, and keep the wheels of governance turning. Leonor was not always successful in achieving all of these aims but given the background of conflict and the lack of cooperation she received from all of her family members, bar her loyal husband, it is a huge achievement that she survived to wear the crown at all. Many writers have argued that Leonor deserved the troubled lieutenancy, personal tragedies, an ephemeral reign, and a blackened reputation, basing their assumption that she committed a crime that cannot be [conclusively] proven. However, a more fitting description of her would be that of a resolute ruler who successfully overcame a multitude of challenges in order to survive in a difficult political landscape and gain a hard-fought throne.”

-Elena Woodacre, "Leonor of Navarre: The Price of Ambition", Queenship, Gender and Reputation in the Medieval and Early Modern West, 1060-1600 (Edited by Zita Eva Rohr and Lisa Benz)

#historicwomendaily #leonor of navarre #15th century #Navarrese history #my post #I mean...the crime can't be explicitly 'proven' but Leonor DID have the means motive and opportunity; she had the most to gain;#the timing was incredibly convenient for her; and most contemporaries believed she was responsible.#She *did* ultimately act against her brother [Carlos] and sister [Blanca]#Though of course the fact remains that:#1) The final responsibility lies with Juan the Faithless: he was the King; the one in power; and the one who rejected Navarre's succession #Blanca herself - while criticizing Leonor and Gaston - placed the ultimate blame on their father as her 'principal...destructor'#All three siblings were reacting to an unconventional disruption in the system caused by Juan & their actions should be judged accordingly.#2) I am hesitant to believe accusations of 'poison' as a cause of murder given how that was commonly used to slander controversial women #and given how it contributed to the dichotomy of Blanca as a tragic beautiful heroine and Leonor as her scheming ambitious sister #3) Even if Leonor DID commit the crime (imo she was at the very least complicit in it) she is still worthy of a reassessment.#I don't think it's fair for it to define her entire identity #Because it certainly did not define her life - she lived for decades before and would live for decades after #It was on the whole one of the many series of obstacles and challenges she had to face before she succeeded in ascending the throne.#The fact that she died so soon after IS ironic but it is in equal parts tragic. And we don't know what Leonor herself felt about it:#Did she think it was a hollow victory? Or did she feel nothing but satisfaction that she died as the Queen of Navarre? We'll never know.#Whatever the case: given her circumstances the fact that she survived to wear the crown itself was an achievement #It's funny because Woodacre parallels Leonor to Richard III in terms of 'blackened' reputations for 'unproven' (...sure) crimes #(thankfully she admits Richard has been long-rehabilitated; what she doesn't bring herself to admit is that he's now over-glorified)#But I don't think this parallel works at all for the exact reasons she uses to try and reassess Leonor #Namely: Richard was the one in power. He was the King. The ultimate blame for what happened to his nephews was his own.#and moreover: Richard's actions against the Princes DID define his reign and were exactly what provoked opposition to his rule.#Any so-called 'rehabilitation' that doesn't recognize and emphasize this is worthless #also if we want to get specific: the Princes were literal children who did nothing and were deposed in times of peace.#Carlos and Blanca were adults with agency and armies and Leonor's actions against them took place in the middle of a civil war #So ultimately I think Leonor's case is fundamentally very different and I don't think her comparison holds well at all

I imagine Celaena finally seeing the sun after a year in Endovier must’ve looked a lot like this…

…The utter joy to see the sky & marveling at the world. The wonder of it still managing to light up the eyes of someone who has seen the very worst of it. It’s no wonder both Chaol & Dorian fell in love with her … how could you not love that?

#now i've heard there was a secret chord that david played and it pleased the Lord but you don't really care for music do you?#it goes like this the fourth the fifth the minor fall the major lift the baffled king composing hallelujah #hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah. Your faith was strong but you needed proof you saw her bathing on the roof her beauty and the #moonlight overthrew you. She tied you to a kitchen chair she broke your throne and cut your hair and from your lips she drew the hallelujah #Hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah. You say i took the name in vain i don't even know the name but if i did well really what's it #to you? There's a blaze of light in every word it doesn't matter which you heard the holy or the broken hallelujah. Hallelujah hallelujah #Hallelujah hallelujah. I did my best it wasn't much i couldn't feel so i tried to touch i've told the truth i didn't come to fool you #And even though it all went wrong i'll stand before the Lord of Song with nothing on my tongue but hallelujah. Hallelujah hallelujah #Hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah.

not an f&b aegon ii fan, not a hotd aegon ii fan, but a secret third thing (a fan of the aegon ii that only exists in my mind)

#extreme mommy issues his father figure is his grandfather & a dude who literally cannot stop committing hate crimes deeply upset that he #could have been his older sister’s male wife but his mom said no and now he has to be king #wants to be a good husband to helaena but resents how gentle she is and dependent on his protection wears his hair short bc he resents his #father’s obsession with valyria when westeros is here now and needs him to do more than just acclaim rhaenyra decades ago and aegon #his true love is his dragon and he was never going to live long after sunfyre. the son that actually DID come with fire and blood to save #his mother but it wasn’t enough never enough because he’s the oldest son but he’s also only second born and what is a second born son than #girlson who is functionally useless as anything more than a pawn to his family.#dying miserable and alone without even his mother’s love bc he came for her too late but he CAME FOR HER!!! HE SAVED HER. too bad.#she doesn’t care anymore bc everyone she really loved is dead. dying a pawn and yet the powerful man in westeros.#letting the narrative consume him alive after sunfyre is injured and finds him on dragonstone. he knows he’s doomed when he goes up against #baela. he does it because what else do you do. you’ve gone too far. killed too many. you killed your sister’s children and she killed yours #in return and now you can’t go back. no choice but mutually assured destruction with the only woman who ever saw how dangerous he was and #how desperate for loce he was. once upon a time. he was a baby bouncing in his sister’s lap on the throne. and she was beautiful and tall #and soft and smart and she told him he was beautiful and loved and pointed out every name and held him the way a mother does.#it has to end there. if the narrative eats me and sunfyre alive it has to eat her too. he won’t go down without her.#getting on my soap box #aegon the usurper

she loves fashion as much as she does for a lot of reasons. but also it’s ? the one aspect of her life that she can control to the finest detail.

#like her grasping desperately for a sense of security and control that continuously alludes her in every other thing #as princess and as heir to the throne like she would be expected to dress a certain way to reflect her station but also #it’s comforting in its way #that she can pick out and pair headpieces and gowns and jewels and cloaks #she can structuralize her actual physical appearance and the impression she gives off in person the way she wants it to be and #it ? it’s an attempt to combat what’s said about her and the reputation that’s been wholly built around her and mostly fabricated #she DOES love pretty things she loves beautiful things and antique jewelry but like #that’s exactly why how she dresses and how she manages her physical appearance is such a unique source of 😭 comfort #it’s not so much vanity as much as ? it gives her a foot hold that she doesn’t really have in most circumstances #and it’s like - how she presents herself is sort of indicative of the precipice she’s almost always on in the sense of #she needs to be charming / approachable / good natured but she also can’t risk giving the wrong impression 😭 because that plays into the #whole narrative that surrounds her #which is a thing she can’t really control; she can’t control how she needs to behave to be able to progress as a politician and as a queen #but she can control the way she LOOKS- physically #and she wants to be taken as what she is: a targaryen and a queen to be

me, whilst reading the unbroken & the faithless: oh, touraine, you idiot (fondly).

#halfway through faithless rn. but when i tell you i consumed the unbroken in a day i'm not lying (saturday)#and i forced myself to only spend half a day reading faithless (sunday) which is why it's only half done #but good lordt it's so fucking GOOD #and i ship them so hard dammit #some good shit right here yall #i've been reading a LOT this year (actual books. i actually havent read any fic this year. it's weird)#and yeah. the jasmine throne / oleander sword & the unbroken / the faithless. just fucking another level of exactly what i want #now just give me those third books dammit!!#duck reads #i think that was the tag #to be clear: i totally understand WHY touraine does the things she does. completely justified. but oh darling.#she's perfect actually. you know? in the context of everything. just the perfect way to understand #(but also so is luca in her own way)#my two fuck ups just trying to do their best damnit #gods it's GORGEOUS and ANGSTY in the most beautiful of ways

And what if I tell you that this is precisely how I envision prince / king / leader of Khaenri'ah Kaeya... ( source )

#{{ he is beauty; he is grace. he is mystery incarnate with a pretty face }}#{{ the eye scar is missing but --- imagine it there www }}#{{ prince kaeya who accepts and ascends to the Khaenri'ahn throne after the abyss order is defeated; I am your number one fan }}#{{ because I still believe that the abyss order is just another faction within Khaenri'ah; and not representative of its entire people. }}#{{ and in my canon I still have some hope for kaeya's biological father's truest intentions too. }}#{{ though I am still very interested in what role Kaeya will play in the abyss' plans }}#{{ only time will tell }}#【 isms | heart of the abyss. 】#【 let me tell you a story | thoughts to be shared. 】

I love that Gwendoline Christie said she felt beautiful on-screen in her role as Principal Weems in Wednesday but her as Brienne of Tarth literally brought sexy back to knighthood in Westeros and no, I will not take criticisms on this.

#i said what i said #also Lucifer Morningstar in Sandman was a fallen angel #weems was traditionally powerful and feminine and she looked beautiful pn acreen but my girl brienne was fierce and looked pretty doing it #brienne of tarth #Gwendoline Christie #principal weems #wednesday 2022 #game of thrones
