Don't explore the fact that Daemon lost both his mother and Laena to childbirth and Rhaenyra's premature labor probably triggered him. Don't explore the fact that his parents were very much in love, and his father became a shell of man after he lost the love of his life to childbirth, and Daemon suddenly has to contemplate living the same loss while raising seven children and defending his son's birthright, and he froze because fighting he can do, strategizing, planning attacks and defenses, that he can do. But raising seven children on his own while grieving the love of his life, that he can't even fathom. No, instead have him choke her out of nowhere, that makes sense.
Don't explore the fact that Aemma died in pursuit of a boy, and Rhaenyra's only daughter died before taking her first breath.
Don't show Rhaenyra's reaction to losing her boy, the one who was always attached at her hip, the one who hadn't even learned how to stop holding her hand yet, the one she sent to the closest ally so he wouldn't be gone too long, the one she had just promised she wouldn't abandon to his responsabilities without making sure he learned all he needed to, the one whose death literally started the war.
But a torn up paper from a book nearly two decades ago, from a woman who abused and humiliated her in front of her entire court, who chased her out of her own home, who usurped her throne and her birth right, who's currently conspiring against her, her children, and her husband, that was important to show.
THE QUEEN RHAENA TARGARYEN:Many strange and contradictory anecdotes are told of that night, and over the years it is difficult to distinguish legend from reality. Did the three brides in black share a bed, as some say? It seems unlikely. Did his highness visit them all that night and consummate the three links? Could be. Did princess rhaena attempt to assassinate the king with a dagger?What was she hiding under her pillows, as she later claimed? Did elinor costayne scratch the king on his back to the point of leaving his skin torn and bloody as they copulated? Did jeyne westerling drink the fertility brew that queen tyanna is said to have brought her, or did she throw it in her face? Is it true that tyanna prepared and brought her that potion? The first chronicle did not It appears well into the reign of jaehaerys, when the last two women had been dead for twenty years
PRINCESS RHAENA TARGARYEN:During the first quarter of the year 135 A.D. two crucial events occurred which brought great joy to the seven kingdoms of the west. Upon waking up on the third day of the third moon of the year, the inhabitants of disembarkation del rey witnessed a phenomenon not seen since the dark days of the dance: a dragon flying over the city. Lady rhaena, who had turned nineteen, was riding aurora for First time. On that inaugural flight, he went around the city before returning to pozo dragon, but as the days went by, he gained courage and moved further away. However, only once did rhaena land with aurora inside the Red fortress, for not even prince viserys' great efforts could persuade his brother, the king, to go and see his sister fly; Queen daenaera, on the other hand, was so captivated that she heard her say that she also wanted a dragon. Soon after, aurora took rhaena through the Black water bay to rocadragon, where, he said, "the dragons and their riders are best received."
SEPTA RHAENA TARGARYEN:Of baelor's other sisters, rhaena was almost as pious as her brother, and eventually became septa.

HOUSE OF THE DRAGON 1.06 “THE PRINCESS AND THE QUEEN"
Terra: Let’s have matching Riku cosplay for tomorrow! Ven/Aqua: Sure! Next day,
Terra: wtf guys. Ven: You didn’t say which one.
bunch of silly stuff for a very complex kh au that started as a simple sora and roxas twins/high school au that me and my friend have and just constantly added more worldbuilding to lol
based off that one text post
“I’ll tell you why–because I’m not a sap like you!”
His eyes couldn’t lie, neither can his face– luckily he has bangs to hide it :)))
I redrew these from screen caps from KH2 and put my own spin to it hahaha
hello i would die for soriku
Do you remember hanafuda merchandise of Kagerou Project back then? In case you don’t know which one is it, then here the picture
At first, it’s like Sidu simply put the character in the card. But in fact, there’s some sort of symbolism there
Here are the symbolism in hanafuda card (based on my research, mainly from here and here) and it’s relevance to Kagepro:
1. January
Mutsuki: affection month
January - Matsu 松 - Pine
“January is represented by the tsuru (crane) and the matsu (pine). Both are symbols of long life and good luck. The pine tree is known to live for centuries, and never sheds its leaves. No matter how cold the winter, the pine tree stays green and alive.”
“The month of January is indicated by a Japanese umbrella pine (koyamaki), an evergreen which is one of Japan’s five sacred trees.”
“Legends associated with the trees include the belief that the women who touch the wood will conceive healthy offspring. In some parts of Japan, people set branches of the tree on the graves of their loved ones in order to lead the spirits back to the land of the living.”
Sounds interesting? It’s widely known about Paper Crane symbolism in Shintaro and Ayano’s story. Also, the mention “in order to lead the spirit back to the land of the living” is the same with Shintaro’s desire to have his loved one back to living, and well, it’s happen
After all, the fact that the month is called “Affection month” has correlation with this frame in Children Record Reboot:
Although the quick translation means “Emotion”, but the other meaning of the word is “Affection”
“’A crane gracefully crosses the sky before the glowing red orb of the rising sun on New Year’s Day. An aged pine, pruned as carefully as a bonsai tree, complements the symbolic association of cranes with longevity’.” “The bright card shows a Japanese red-crowned crane (tanchōzuru) in front of a red sun”
“The Red-crowned Cranes are sacred birds in both China and Japan. They are called the “bird of happiness”” “ They also are said to mate for life, which makes them symbols of marital harmony. “
“ Both Pine and Red-crowned Cranes are symbols of long life and good luck. “
Aside from the general symbolism of crane, this one specify about ‘A crane crossed the sky before the glowing red orb’ You know what time is it when sun glows red? Sunset. And well, in Additional Memory lyrics, there’s a mention about “Revolving latern” she saw while ‘crossed the sky’
And the last….
“The text on the red ribbon (also on that for February) reads “akayoroshi”. The word is fairly obscure, but means something along the lines of “obviously good” (some say “red is good”).”
Ahahaha… red is the colour of hero, eh? (*crying on the floor* Jin, you….)
2. February
Kisaragi: changing clothes month
February - Ume 梅 - Plum Blossoms

“that’s not fair beast! don’t take it out on belle!”
— reasons why i love sora #8348 the beast was taking his anger out on belle and the second it looked like it was going to get physical, sora jumps in front of belle and protects her. donald and goofy are also in the room, but they still stayed in the back. sora’s a 15 year old child, but still felt alarmed by the beast’s actions and had enough sense to realize that what beast was doing was wrong. even when belle felt like it was her fault and guilty about the situation: he tells her that she did nothing wrong, there’s no need for her to apologize. sora was so pissed off at the beast, not only for doubting a significant other and believing a complete stranger’s words over hers, but for taking his anger out on belle and potentially could’ve physically hurt her. sora wasn’t having any of the beast’s shit and damn this boy was raised right.
Wholesome background event from the ending:
Riku winning the race without breaking a sweat and then turning around to watch Donald fuss at Ven, Aqua and Roxas waving at each other before he starts wheezing, and Terra coming in third completely exhausted.
I love Kingdom Hearts for all the “it makes sense in context (or maybe not even then)” things it lets me say, like:
The antagonist of the second game went up to a week-old kid and was like “join my cult!”
Clayton from Tarzan shot his shotgun at a teenager, with intent to kill.
In the first game, Sora stabs himself in the heart. This act, arguably, makes him the father of twins.
It is implied that Great Britain exists in at least three different planets.
It has been established that data and computer programs can also have hearts and personalities. An important character from a recent game is a character from an in-universe video game. He’s pretty explicitly not one of those data beings. Because fuck you.
The Fairy Godmother from Cinderella can apparently casually visit the afterlife whenever she wants, and bring at least two “guests” with her.
If you really think about it, the games kinda imply that Santa Claus (yes, the Santa Claus) either has a spaceship, a keyblade, or access to the powers of darkness.
The island the protagonists live on is surrounded by an ocean that apparently leads straight to the KH equivalent of Hell.
you ever think long and deep about the interactions in KH2 between Roxas and Namine and Sora and Kairi that just feel cheap and rushed as hell with little substance, it’s all telling not showing, it killed potential character development (coughkairicough), has no actual significance so now you can’t get yourself to like them even though they tried to shove it down your throat, and the dynamics between roxas and namine is purely “WOW IM A BOY YOURE A GIRL AND OUR SOMEBODIES ARE TOO WE’RE TOTES A THING JUST BC THEY APPARENTLY ARE EVEN THOUGH WE STRUGGLE FOR OUR INDIVIDUALITY AND THIS TOTALLY RUINS THAT?” and you’re just
