JINKSIE!!!! My dear sweet girl
like/reblog this post if:
you’re 18 or younger
you’re a writer
that’s pretty much it!!
i want to see more people my age on my dash, not just because i love seeing other young writers trying to reach their goals, but also because it’s nice to know that we’re not alone in balancing writing with school, friends, extracurricular activities, jobs, and everything else:)
(feel free to boost this if you want, even if you’re <18!!)
room of swords ruined all other webtoons for me 😀
Gryffindor: adventure stories, hero's journey, cocky characters, feats of derring-do, writing sprints, writer's block is their personal enemy, battered notebooks stained with careless coffee spills, borrows pens and forgets to return them, a disaster pantser
Hufflepuff: children's books and whimsy, settings full of flowers, massive worlds to explore, quaint villages, romance and friendship, cosy writing nooks, glitter gel pens, scented candles to set the writing mood, classic plantser who follows the fun
Ravenclaw: poetry and philosophy, writes at a desk laden with books, extensive notes in the margins, sticky notes and highlighters, drafts the same page six times and still can't decide, gets distracted by reading, repulsed by the mere thought of writing out of order, always wins NaNoWriMo
Slytherin: dark academia and grim fantasy, snarky heroes and obnoxious villains, hidden passageways and red herrings, fountain pens and Moleskin journals, meticulous plotter, success out of spite, cries when they kill characters but will never admit it
So, let me guess– you just started a new book, right? And you’re stumped. You have no idea how much an AK47 goes for nowadays. I get ya, cousin. Tough world we live in. A writer’s gotta know, but them NSA hounds are after ya 24/7. I know, cousin, I know. If there was only a way to find out all of this rather edgy information without getting yourself in trouble…
You’re in luck, cousin. I have just the thing for ya.
It’s called Havocscope. It’s got information and prices for all sorts of edgy information. Ever wondered how much cocaine costs by the gram, or how much a kidney sells for, or (worst of all) how much it costs to hire an assassin?
I got your back, cousin. Just head over to Havocscope.
((PS: In case you’re wondering, Havocscope is a database full of information regarding the criminal underworld. The information you will find there has been taken from newspapers and police reports. It’s perfectly legal, no need to worry about the NSA hounds, cousin ;p))

I think it's fair to give hotd shit for quite a few things, but I still think that how they chose to change Alicent's character was genius. To look at her and ask: what if she was young? What if she was scared? And then, in turn, to have this scared young girl, that was pushed into the cycle of violence and abuse that is feudalism, grow up into a scared wary woman, that doesn't stop the cycle for her children but instead pushes them into it as well, because it's the only way the world works that she knows. Because when her father pushed her into the cycle, he kissed her brow and called it duty. And now she makes her children wed each other and ursurp a throne, continuing all the abuse and violence, because she was told as a girl that if you just follow the rules enough everything will be alright.
And that's also what makes her relationship with Rhaenyra so fascinating. It's love, but it's also resentment. To Alicent Rhaenyra is free. She doesn't follow the rules, flaunts some of them openly. And still it seems like there are no consequences for her. She doesn't follow the rules and still Viserys loves her in a way he never did his children by Alicent. While Alicent breaks and reprieves herself in an attempt to do everything right, but it won't save her.
