SHE WAS HELEN OF SPARTA JUSTICE FOR MY GIRL
History of Man by Maisie Peters
so still like drawing the aftg kid oc I've used a picrew to show what he looks like for the moment until the character sheet thing is done cuz I suck ar drawing and am using like a body base for one of thek and just some crappy ass thing I managed to hand draw by using a reference for the pose (I suck at drawing I'm awful at it so don't expect it to be any good)
He has a name now as well Here is CASEY HART (yes he is called cas for short by some ppl so angst maybe)
you know the thing where a character is so full of trauma that their personality and personhood is buried deep within and it takes time, space and healing to coax it back to the surface, little by little? very good trope. i think it most often manifests as a character finding that they're kind and gentle and lovable. which is great. love a healing narrative.
anyway the thing about neil josten is that once you manage to override his instincts to flee long enough, is that he turns out to be such a bitch (affectionate). he's spent so long avoiding notice and slipping through fingers like his life depended on it (because it did), but when he's forced into the spotlight he's going to make it everyone's problem. catharsis and schadenfreude two for one deal
guys I've finished the raven king and uhh Jesus fucking christ that shit was horror, wymack getting concerned at Neil's voice on the phone is just such a dad thing, the tattoo nooo those bitches him running for the kitchen for a knife.
"help me" he said through gritted teeth
"let me" wymack shot back
just way fo go fucking break me more afer the thanksgiving part (I completely forgot the timestamp for the audio book for when that happens, I should have probably read along with my kindle books but oh well) but like what the fuck I forgot that it was all detailed man like not fully but like gosh the audio books hit diffrent than reading them for me. Neil telling wyamck that he's still a fox and that he hadn't signed the raven contract is just UGHHHH SOBS
still no more casey info sorry to casey hart fans you don't get any new info for the moment as im still trying to fully figure out everything and still finish his character desgin sheet/art thing
I second this notion like coming from someone who watched American tv shows growing up in the UK I have been asked if I was actually American because my accent is mixed between them both
neil's accent is going to be a bit of a weird combination due to his mother being british, him being primarily raised by her, but also being born and (mostly) raised in the US, factored in with all the other places he would've had to blend in to on the run. so naturally his accent will shift slightly to fit whatever language he's speaking, as it does with most multilingual people, but when he's speaking english he's going to have a weird intersection of american/british. now won't be all that noticeable most of the time but i think it would come out on occasion possibly whilst drunk or pissed off about something. ergo i present neil josten yelling "you'd fucking like that, wouldnt you?" at somebody on the court and like half of the team just turn and stare at him for a minute because what the fuck was that
on god, he may have had zero PREPARATION but he was smart like if they did as he said they would have already won the fucking war like listen to the guy I know he's shit but he's smart your ment to listen to your king not undermind him the only dumb thing he did was replace otto as hand because otto would have agreed with every one of his takes like I need daeron to be trying to push for aegons ideas I really do I need a smart duo
Let's see, Aegon was right about...
1. Considering smallfolk
2. Securing Harrenhal before Daemon builds an army
3. Securing Grover Tully's support after Lucerys' death
4. Burning Gullet's blocade sooner
5. Wanting a dragon to accompany Criston and Gwayne (they could've killed Moondancer and captured Baela)
And STILL many people are saying he was a dumb king! Even with him not recieving any preparation, his ideas would've eliminated the biggest problems that the Greens are facing now.
mw with aftg characters and hotd characters including my own ocs like they all get put through so much shit that just makes me wanna hug them and care for them and make them all chocolate cake
Hey you ever think about The Characters so much to the point where
I think that aemond was born before the wedding in ep 5 but in the show aegon is 20-19 so aemond should be 17-16 and helaenas only like two years younger than aegon so she'd be 18-17 purely basing this on the fact alicent was pregnant with helaena when aegon was two but like the timeline is such a mess because even of they followed the book timeline daeron was 13 when the war started and 16 when he yk but he was always the same age as jace in the book the two were fed from the same wet nurse.
I know people have made and it puts aegon as 2 in the year 115ac and helaena as 1 in 116 it doesn't show aemonds birth year but in the book it was 110 so in fire and blood helaena was born 109 so in the book the two are a year apart while daeron and jace were both born in 114 but it doesn't make sense for them to be born that year in the show as alicent was pregnant with helaena in 115, so the book years of ppl being born is as followed
aegon-107ac
helaena-109ac
aemond-110ac
jace-114ac
daeron-114ac a few months after jace
luke-115ac
the dragon twins baela and rhaena-116ac
joff-117ac
aegon iii-120ac
viserys ii-122ac
jaehaere and jaehaerys-123ac
maelor who isn't in the show yet-127ac
the war starts in 129ac and ends 131ac
the show has fucked up the timeline that I cry for ppl who make ocs cuz they won't ever get a proper age range, so with daeron I'm going a whim and saying alicent got pregnant like a month or two after rhaenyras wedding to laenor in year idfk atp but in the books it was 114
Why is it making it seems like they never met with daeron lol. Did he not atleast come to aegon and Helaenas wedding what about for the birth of the twins
me with all my wips when I only have a prologue written for we'll be fine eventually and just haven't written the first chapter
so true like I hate how people fault for her for it because added to it her father was actively telling her that rhaenyra would have to put alicents own flesh and blood to the sword and then rhaenyra has bastards (not blaming her she need heirs) but it just strengthen alicents fear of her own being killed.
so without a doubt I would to conspire to put one my sons on the throne most likely a smart one who's not stupid but obvi the lords wanted the first born son so yeah I'd do it what mother (or parent or father) wouldn't want their child to sit the throne and rule like I fucking would like hell yeah make me the queen mother idc how history wanna portray me if I got one of my own kids on the throne than fuck me with a chainsaw I'd be living
Not gonna lie.
If my bitch ass husband had me give birth to four children. And three of them being boys and not naming any of them his heirs no matter how much he cried and complained about wanting a son.
Yeah I would have taken the throne and put my son on it.
this is such a great motivator to read tsc honestly
hi uhhh I'm aroace ghost rat ting here, 19 years I use any pronouns as icba to care what you use should clarify that I'm a massive bitch
