the best part is that if you speak french you know it’s some barely-understandable nonsense lmao. sentence construction? grammar? don’t know them

Y'all need to give Alicent some friends in y'all fics. Why does she never have female friends?

You know I'm about to make a post with fair use OCs, y'all can use as her friends.

What gets me about the “is there no one in Kingslanding to take my side” is that as Queen of the 7 kingdoms (although Dorne is still independent at this point, lol) Alicent should have a bunch of ladies-in-waiting, women and girls from families that are loyal to her cause.   So should Rhaenyra for that matter, although the show did include Elinda Massey. 

But yeah, ladies-in-waiting are a good place to start.

shaking six year old me by the shoulders YOU WERE RIGHT. YOU WERE RIGHT ABOUT LOVE AND ABOUT FAIRNESS AND ABOUT SHARING IS CARING. YOU WERE RIGHT. THE ADULTS DON’T KNOW ANY MORE ABOUT TRUTH THAN YOU DO. KEEP BELIEVING IN THE FAIRIES AT THE BOTTOM OF THE GARDEN. NOTHING IS “JUST THE WAY IT IS”. I AM SORRY THEY EVER CONVINCED YOU TO FEEL SHAME. YOU ARE REAL AND A PART OF THIS WORLD. YOU WERE RIGHT.

Are you frustrated you can't leave second kudos on AO3? or third kudos? or whatever-who's-counting kudos?

Uncanny Vash enthusiasts I hope you're aware that Trimax Wolfwood canonically had several cosmic horror nervous breakdowns over our favorite baby-girl-creature-man

like...

woowoo was going t h r o u g h it he literally was so terrified he couldn't move at one point

Haha yeaaaaah, Trimax literally is just 16 volumes of Wolfwood (and others) having existential, horrified breakdowns over the eldritch, biblically-accurate Babygirl.  This is canon.

having a sibling who is just so much younger than you is so weird. cause it’s like yeah, i’ll help you with the buttons, i’ll braid your hair, you can crawl into my bed after you have a nightmare, i’ll give you my last square of chocolate, i’ll pick you up from school, i’ll read you my favourite book, i’ll beat that boss in your video game that you have a hard time getting past, i don’t shout at you for singing that same disney song on loop for months. it’s don’t tell mom or dad about this, i’ll rip your bandaid off for you, i’ll put a bandaid on your knee, i’ll disinfect your cut, i’ll run a bath for you.

but also i’ll lick your ice-cream before i give it to you, i’ll give you the smaller piece, don’t touch my stuff, don’t go into my room, i’ll tell you lies that i think are harmless and funny, no you can’t go to the pub with me, no you can’t stay overnight in my dorm room, because i said so, because it’s against the rules, if i could take you to college with me i would, don’t look at me like that, im trying to study will you keep it down and i just don’t know what to do.

tbh the best way that i explain to other people what it feels like to live with an anxiety disorder is the one time when i had to get a fingerprint and background check done for a job and i, someone who has never received so much as a speeding ticket my whole life, spent thirty minutes panicking that i would fail because i might secretly be a criminal and have no idea 

This is the most accurate post on anxiety ever.

EVERYDAY. When i exit a store, when i cross path with a policeman, when a friend sends a dry text… everyday i feel in my guts the dreadful anxiety that i am secretly a terrible awful person about to be found out
