I have two parents, both of them very much alive, and I look exactly like them.
Prophecies--girl, HOW am I supposed to hear a very important something or other ONE TIME and then remember if exactly in italics
Actually short term memory and slow sound processing in general definitely wouldn't help me out
Dreams--I fear I'm only capable of the 'mildly inconvenient nonsense' type of dream and not the 'evil one spelling out certain doom to me while I sleep' variety
I have the reflexes of an aged sea turtle
I have no friends
People would probably peg me as the smart one (I get good grades, have nerdy hobbies, and like spouting randon facts), but in fact I suck at riddles as well as at thinking under pressure, thinking outside the box, and recalling information that's actually important to a situation at any convenient time, so that wouldn't go well
I'd be dead, guys
Random friend: Helen Pevensie, your children are just so well behaved and mature. I can’t imagine having children who act as nicely as yours do.
“Pile on Pete!” Lucy yells and they all jump onto Peter who grunts and grumbles but doesn’t push them off.
Peter and Edmund hitting each other with sticks in the back garden
Susan and Peter telling Edmund to eat his vegetables and him telling them that he’s an adult and he will eat his vegetables when he wants to. And to back off.
Lucy climbing a tree in her nice clothes because “I’m really good mum don’t worry it’s like the trees taught me”
Susan sneaking back inside at midnight with an empty quiver and bow. “I can explain”
Peter and Edmund routinely leaving school grounds on weekends to see Lucy and Susan at their own school.
Lucy spending more time with girls twice her age than other 10 year olds.
Edmund always sneaking away from the children’s section in the library and getting books on gory battles and great military failures.
Peter getting in fights over stepped on toes.
Lucy fighting bedtime every chance she gets.
All of them accidentally drinking wine on more than one occasion because they saw the glass and didn’t think about where they were.
Lucy somehow knowing how to punch.
Edmund ‘borrowing’ a horse from the school coach house to go riding over the weekend while he was bored.
Susan always spilling flour over the kitchen when she’s tasked with dinner and Peter can’t do dishes without soaking everyone in the kitchen.
All of them being terrible about cleaning up after themselves because they got so used to having staff to do those sorts of things.
Lucy forgetting electricity is a thing and taking candles to read in the dark, which half terrifies her parents. She gets lots of playing with fire lectures.
Edmund and Lucy releasing all of their cousin’s science project subjects.
All four of them routinely covered in mud and brambles from the woods.
“Yes, I’m not sure how they all got to be like this,” Mrs. Pevensie laughs awkwardly. “It certainly wasn’t me.”

Half of the Dark cast being in the new Disney+ Show - Sam ein Sachse, really took me by surprise. But I'm not complaining, good to see them again 🥰
#give me all of it #I need it
Note that these are my opinions and preferences and if you don’t agree with them, just ignore it and scroll away
As much as I love these two and team green in general, it is obvious that the writers of hotd clearly have a bias towards team black. ( That especially sucks when you consider the fact that the team green castings are utter perfection ) But with what they have done in s1, I highly doubt s2 is going to give the greens anything and instead just make them comically evil and rush their plot lines and what not
So this is basically a list of scenes I would have loved to see for Helaegon in both seasons (I may do the other characters as well)
The list is organised from most likely to happen/ to have happened (it won’t/wouldn’t have but I need a system) i.e. 15 and least likely to happen / to have happened i.e. 1
15.a scene after blood & cheese
🕯️him approaching her after/during the funeral
🕯️them trying to not cry in front of the other but all in vain
🕯️them seeking comfort with each other (even if doesn’t last long)
14.hurt/comfort conversation/ argument about Aegon’s drinking and whoring
🕯️could tie into no.13
🕯️them arguing at the top of their lungs
🕯️or having a conversation through tears
13.a heartfelt conversation about how they are handling being king and queen
🕯️them talking about the pressure
🕯️how they are not ready for it/cut out for it
🕯️them promising each other that they’ll look out for the other and keep their family safe
12.them at the green counsel together
🕯️just to watch them glance at each other when a counsel member says something stupid/questionable/ about their kids or them
🕯️them holding hands when tough news is presented
🕯️them listening intently whenever the other speaks
11.dragon riding
🕯️(flashback) Aegon asking her if she would like to go dragon riding with him as she has just claimed dreamfyre
🕯️them flying around king’s landing with their kids saddled in on their dragons
10.family dinner
🕯️just the greens having dinner together to welcome daeron and/or gwayne
🕯️them keeping a close eye on their kids but slowly letting their guard down when they see how comfortable they are with their uncle
🕯️them being the older sibling menaces they are and teasing the hells out of Aemond and Daeron
🕯️Helaena having to leave early as the kids want only her to get them to bed and Aegon bringing desert to her in their room
09.their younger versions interacting with Rhaenyra
🕯️either separately or together
🕯️Helaena being closed off at firsts but then they start discussing all sorts of things from bugs to jewellery to how both of them loved to hear stories from Alicent
🕯️Aegon and Rhaenyra initially wanting to keep away from each other but they have a small talk before his wedding about Helaena, their dragons and their father before they are rudely interrupted by either daemon or Otto or both.
08.scenes with their kids
🕯️Helaena comforting Jaehaerys after someone made a comment about his fingers
🕯️Aegon having some self reflection after Jaehaera says they threatened to rape her (obviously in the show, would not have included the rapist thing if I was writing it but if they wanted to “redeem” him, this is the best solution imo)
🕯️them trying to decide what to name maelor along with the twins
07.Helaena’s pregnancy
🕯️either with maelor or a 4th child (according to some leaks)
🕯️Criston whispering to Aegon during a counsel that it’s a boy/girl

05.them gifting each other stuff
🕯️necklaces, brooches for not being around as often
🕯️chalices with various dragon imagery for his nameday
🕯️her stitching his favourite flower onto his nightshirt
🕯️them getting their kids to help when they want to surprise the other with something
04.(flashback) where they get into trouble and collectively decide to blame Aemond
🕯️Alicent interrogating the shit out of them
🕯️one look and they were at the library reading mythology about the Seven and the last person they saw at the crime scene was Aemond
🕯️Alicent gives a disappointed sigh and they are both dismissed and as they walk away- a casual “WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU!?” from the other side of the door
03.wedding flashback
🕯️Both are initially against it, they think of it as a punishment
🕯️but a talk with their mother or half-sister makes them understand that this is for the betterment of the family
🕯️they dance together, they talk shit about what the lords and ladies are wearing, they soften up at their mother’s wide smile
🕯️Perhaps their father is smiling too. They can’t tell. But right now it doesn’t matter, they don’t care.
🕯️Aegon wearing white with gold details and a gold cloak with his hair tied up
🕯️Helaena wearing white with silver details and blue jewels on her dress and her crown

🕯️he starts crying but they work through it together until it’s over
🕯️him cleaning her during her pregnancy

Alright I hope you liked it
Since the writers for hotd won’t, send me the number and I’ll write a drabble
YOU. Because of you I had an Aemond x Helaena dream last night. I don't remember much but I think they were talking about their kids.
me every single time I get a aemond x helaena ask
SO excited for this!!!

Whiteman’s lounging with a whisky, looking comfortably casual in a pair of chinos and a t-shirt—blazer combination. He might be taken for any young, up-and-coming London professional out for a drink to celebrate the long weekend. Hillinghead, by contrast, looks like he should be at a wedding- the man’s in a three piece suit and the most complexly knotted tie she’s ever seen. Still, Shahara’s hardly going to judge him for feeling more comfortable completely covered up and the man is (she still can’t really wrap her head around this) a Victorian. He’s got a pint of beer in front of him, though it doesn’t look like he’s touched it.
She takes the first of the two empty seats at their table, her coke sloshing over the side of the glass as she sits, and remarks: “You two found your way around alright then?”
Whiteman sniffs sharply and half shrugs. “Fine. Nice to see the place not bombed to bits and rationing over.”
“It’s so- loud,” Hillinghead murmurs. “And crowded, and it smells-”
“It’s always smelled,” Whiteman interjects. “What, was it all roses in your time? I don’t believe that.”
“No,” Hillinghead stresses. “But it is- more.” he rubs the bridge of his nose. “Have you heard from-” He freezes, staring at something just over Whiteman’s shoulder. Shahara can read a shift in to flight-or-fight posture easily and from the way he’s suddenly more alert, Whiteman’s clocked that something’s got Hilinghead spooked as well.
“Problem?” he asks quietly, in his clipped, cockney accent; a half-strangled vowel slips from Hillinghead’s throat and Shahara turns to see what he’s looking at. There’s two men enjoying what’s clearly a date, holding hands and locking lips. Shahara sighs internally, bracing herself for a slew of Victorian attitudes- “Yeah,” she says, a little sarcastically- Hillinghead’s knuckles have gone white, he’s clenching his fist so hard. The gold of his wedding band stands stark against it. “That’s allowed, nowadays- we don’t care.”
“Hm?” Whiteman glances around- there’s a moment where Shahara thinks she’s gonna have to deal with 1940s attitudes as well, but Whiteman turns back, uninterested. “Fair enough.” he starts patting himself down, like he’s looking for something in his pockets.
“They can-” Hillinghead murmurs. “I could…” He swipes for the beer and downs a quarter of the pint in one. Now Whiteman looks interested, he pauses his search, leans right forward and says, smirking, “Detective Inspector Hillinghead. Do you have a fancy man?”
Hillinghead sputters and brings down the glass. “Are you twelve?” he demands, something of the outraged parent seeping into his tone as– he’s blushing, Shahara realises. He’s actually blushing.
“Are you-?” She asks, leaning forward, and she knows it’s rude and none of her business, but still. “Are you gay?” The wedding ring. “Bi?”she suggests, as a follow up, and then: “Do you have a boyfriend?”
“I- what? I-” he looks back at the couple, then grabs his beer again. “I have- I have a- I have Henry,” he downs more of the beer. “It-it would be nice, to- to not…” he trails off, his eyes drifting away from both of them.
“See, I’ve always been a bachelor- a bachelor bachelor, not a confirmed bachelor, myself, but I - fuck, I left my cigars and my lighter in the other jacket-”
“Language,” Hilinghead reprimands at the same time as Shahara says: “You can’t smoke in here anyway.”
Whiteman drops his elbow to the table and points at her. “You what?”
“No smoking in public places, it’s banned.”
Whiteman flops back in his seat and grabs for his whisky. “The future is bollocks.” he drains the glass and slams it down. “Good whisky though. So. While we wait for Maplewood to join us….Hillinghead can kiss blokes, and I can’t smoke in a pub. What else should we know about this 2023, then…?”
