lots of artists can fill their work with aching homosexual tension, but no one else can make the impending sodomy look quite as classy and exquisitely dressed as Leyendecker can. God bless you, sir.
insane plotlines for qaf us if it started in 2020 instead of 2000
he/they emmett (this one isnt insane i just needed to include it i stole this one from emily but it has not left my mind since i heard it)
brian gets cancelled on local pittsburgh twitter for strictly enforcing rainbow capitalism in every company he works with
ted gets really into nfts instead of crystal meth
wait even funnier instead of the website ted defintely starts an onlyfans
michael gets mad that everyone assumes he’s an ally and infringing on gay spaces because he just carries absolutely no vibes
justin has a thinly veiled self-insert comic on webtoon after he and brian hook up iand that gets picked up for a movie deal nstead of rage
daphne would be a kpop stan
debbie almost goes broke from buying gay slogan shirts on etsy. decides to start a side hustle selling her own.
lindsey definitely gets into fights with other mommy bloggers
ben wrote the song of achilles in this universe mostly because i think that would be extremely funny
this is like 100% petty all things considered but i just can’t wait until some of u learn that it is absolutely normal for people of any age to refer to their dads as “daddy” in many parts of the south like it isn’t a red flag there. 60 year old women in my family still refer to their dads as “daddy.” and btw i think anyone should be allowed to call their own fathers whatever they want without someone either making it nasty or being accusatory like don’t you get tired of making ppl uncomfortable for no reason
every person can feel freddie’s presence in their souls when they sing MAMAAAAAA UUHHHH, I DONT WANNA DIE, I SOMETIMES I WISH I’VE NEVER BEEN BORN AT ALL with all the air in their lungs i’m not joking
As a history buff who's been most interested in Henry 8th and his quest for a male heir and all the inheritance messes after his death, I was real fucking excited for HOTD.
The Iron throne should go to Aegon II. By all logic it really should.
Viserys got the throne by being Jaehaerys' second son's oldest son because the man didn't want his eldest son's daughter on the throne basically. That sets a president for shit:
Throne should go to the eldest son available, not to a daughter or through a daughter
Aemma dies in childbirth because Viserys wants a male heir. He wanted that boy so much that he fucking had c-section done on Aemma with no regard for her, he just wanted the son. That son would have been his heir.
Then he names Rhaenyra heir because he doesn't want to give the throne to Daemon (me neither). Viserys names Rhaenyra heir but he doesn't make a decree or law that the oldest child should inherit the throne regardless of sex. This is an exception for Rhaenyra and Rhaenyra alone.
Back to Henry 8th whose basically only known for wanting a son. Both his daughters Mary and Elizabeth went down in the line of succession when Edward was born. Even though Edward was born from a third marriage and had older sisters, he was the heir.
It's not complitely the same situation and Westerosi politics are a little different than in our medieval/early modern period but the princible is the same.
Also in a famously and unrelentingly misogynist world like Westeros a lot of people will favous Aegon on the sole point of him being a man. No matter which one is on the throne both are in danger.
Rhaenyra on the throne:
If she herself doesn't give a shit and doesn't wish Alicent's kids any harm, someone does
Aegon and his siblings are in danger by just being Viserys' children and having a very strong claim to the throne
Someone in Rhaenyra's camp will get the idea of offing Alicent's kids in the name of Rhaenyra's claim
Also Daemon is on Rhaenyra's team and I would not trust my kids' safety in his hands, he killed his wife. I would not trust him not to kill his nephews
Aegon on the throne:
Rhaenyra will be in danger by just being alive and Viserys' child
Someone in Aegon's camp gets the same idea to kill her in order to protect Aegon's claim even though he nor Alicent would want no such thing
All about the coming war could have been prevented by A) changing the inheritance law, B) not making Rhaenyra an exception and getting a male heir by second marriage, or C) making Aegon heir when he was born. Or Aegon and Rhaenyra could have married (horrible age difference but a solution) and ruled as an equal pair.
Also, like, “Arya’s only nine”, she’s been in sewing classes since she was a toddler. She should be able to embroider and make a few simple things(at age seven, kids in the 19th century were expected to make a shirt, for example). If she doesn’t know how to do simple embroidery, at this point she basically doesn’t want to learn. Sorry, not sorry, these are basic skills.
something something the trend and fear about not having wrinkles or lines on your face and doing pre emptive care to not look like you're aging. i can't wait to look my age when i get older. i want to look at an old scrape and remember how i was so busy talking that i lost control of my skateboard i want to look at and feel my hands and how i took care of myself and others with them. i want to have laughed and been so happy that i have lines around my eyes. my ancestors had their life tucked in scars wrinkles hair just their skin, i want that too. i want to look my age and look at my body that has the evidence of life because what else reason we have to even be here than to live
sam and dean being Known serial killers who have been on the fbi watchlist for a decade and have faked their deaths multiple times is actually very funny. I like to think literally everyone in town knows they're wanted by multiple US agencies but are like. they've evaded arrest so many times. do we really wanna anger the serial killers? no one in town has been killed let's not push it. and then the longer it goes on they begrudgingly start to like the winchesters because they tip well and are generally helpful around the community. plus their son is an absolute delight and everyone wants to figure out what's going on between dean and the weird trenchcoat guy who hangs around sometimes. like, they can't turn them into the cops before getting resolution on their relationship! the town has a betting pool! sam starts a community garden and dean jumps at the chance to help with odd jobs if he over hears people complaining about something when he's hanging out. they're politer than most of the normal locals.
you know how some towns are like 'oh yeah that's the house where the Witch lives'? everyone in lebanon is just like 'there's the nuclear fallout shelter where our local serial killers live ❤ they're pillars of this community ❤ snitch to the feds and the town will band together to eliminate you❤'
