If Anyone Else Was Wondering Like I Was, The Reason People Sometimes Talk To Wilhelm Like “the Crown

Another strange scene I have in my head

Hellfire ending same time as basketball practice. Jason being a little dick. Tommy is there too since he is the freshmen's/sophmore jocks ride. Anyways, Jason is being a bitch, trying to be the new King™. Steve is fed up with his bs and is like "You do know you'll never be as good as I was...and still am" or smth like that. Jason is like "you wanna go" Steve is like "I'll fucking destroy you" he does! Tommy sing-songs "King's back~" Eddie is like "wtf do you mean?" And one of the older jocks explains "part of the reason we called him king was because we were terrified of him" meanwhile, Jason is getting his ass kicked hysterically in the background. The younger party is wide eyed hearing their stories of times Steve has been kind of frightening. The scene ends with Nancy being like "GUYS! JASON IS BLEEDING ON THE FLOOR CAN SOMEBODY GET HELP!" The scene ends and it cuts to Steve in the back of a cop car with sirens in the background (other than that, complete silence) it's filmed from the rear view mirror and you can see hoppers eye and and Eddie's hair in the shot as well.

That's all I got really.

I can't wait for Mike to finally gain a healthy outlook of his self-worth. He deserves to be confident and to stop downgrading himself and realize he doesn't need to be needed to obtain the selfless love he wants. Mike deserves to express himself without worry or fear after feeling invalidated for so long. He deserves to validate himself and take time to be amazed at how smart he is.

Mike deserves to see that he's more than what his self-sacrificial mind thinks. He needs to stop overthinking and listen to his heart more, follow his heart more, and finally understand that he is worth the time/effort/attention because he simply exists. He's alive and breathing and he just exists and it's just as easy as that.

Mike Wheeler deserves to feel good about himself.

Eddie posting to Tiktok: So, I just got home and Steve’s not here which is fine but it is where I left him. So, I send him a text asking where he’s at and-

*Eddie makes his background a screenshot of their text conversation. Eddie texted ‘where are you?’ and Steve responded with that gif of Spike saying ‘out for a walk, bitch’*

Eddie: who taught this man about gifs? Do you have any idea how fucking funny this is going to be?

As a history buff who's been most interested in Henry 8th and his quest for a male heir and all the inheritance messes after his death, I was real fucking excited for HOTD.

The Iron throne should go to Aegon II. By all logic it really should.

Viserys got the throne by being Jaehaerys' second son's oldest son because the man didn't want his eldest son's daughter on the throne basically. That sets a president for shit:

Throne should go to the eldest son available, not to a daughter or through a daughter

Aemma dies in childbirth because Viserys wants a male heir. He wanted that boy so much that he fucking had c-section done on Aemma with no regard for her, he just wanted the son. That son would have been his heir.

Then he names Rhaenyra heir because he doesn't want to give the throne to Daemon (me neither). Viserys names Rhaenyra heir but he doesn't make a decree or law that the oldest child should inherit the throne regardless of sex. This is an exception for Rhaenyra and Rhaenyra alone.

Back to Henry 8th whose basically only known for wanting a son. Both his daughters Mary and Elizabeth went down in the line of succession when Edward was born. Even though Edward was born from a third marriage and had older sisters, he was the heir.

It's not complitely the same situation and Westerosi politics are a little different than in our medieval/early modern period but the princible is the same.

Also in a famously and unrelentingly misogynist world like Westeros a lot of people will favous Aegon on the sole point of him being a man. No matter which one is on the throne both are in danger.

Rhaenyra on the throne:

If she herself doesn't give a shit and doesn't wish Alicent's kids any harm, someone does

Aegon and his siblings are in danger by just being Viserys' children and having a very strong claim to the throne

Someone in Rhaenyra's camp will get the idea of offing Alicent's kids in the name of Rhaenyra's claim

Also Daemon is on Rhaenyra's team and I would not trust my kids' safety in his hands, he killed his wife. I would not trust him not to kill his nephews

Aegon on the throne:

Rhaenyra will be in danger by just being alive and Viserys' child

Someone in Aegon's camp gets the same idea to kill her in order to protect Aegon's claim even though he nor Alicent would want no such thing

All about the coming war could have been prevented by A) changing the inheritance law, B) not making Rhaenyra an exception and getting a male heir by second marriage, or C) making Aegon heir when he was born. Or Aegon and Rhaenyra could have married (horrible age difference but a solution) and ruled as an equal pair.

i hope we get the scene of matthias doing cpr on kaz saying i. should. let. you. die. where every full stop is punctuated by one (1) compression

mike’s still smart in s3 & s4 though. he came up with the sauna test in like two seconds. he’s the entire reason the cali crew found the location of the nina project. i made a whole list of all the smart things he’s done in the show (for Reasons) and i promise you he hasn’t stopped being scary intelligent, he’s just mostly forced to deal with emotional conflicts now, which he’s abysmal at because he’s a teenage boy from a family that doesn’t talk about emotions and doesn’t even know what he’s feeling half the time, much less how to say it (or if he should say it) in ways that aren’t clumsy and impulsive and unintentionally hurtful

i wanna share this tiktok with you guys that scratches my brain in the best way possible

Battinson announcing the list of charities he wants to support during the floods.

This shocks a LOT of people because, as of now, he’s never publicly contributed to humanitarian projects since becoming CEO. But what confuses them more is how Batman is seen expertly breaking into two different charities that were listed by Bruce Wayne.

One reporter gets suspicious and makes up a theory: He catches Bruce in public and asks, “Is it true you hired Batman to investigate the legitimacy of charities you donate to?”

Queue the awkward, anxiety-ridden Battinson freaking out because oh no they’re getting close to figuring it out, aren’t they? Oh fuck oh fuck-

Battinson: Who’s Batman?

The reporter just looks at him like he’s an idiot, but Battinson’s dug himself a hole now and all he can do is just keep digging.

Suddenly, the public comes up with a new theory: Bruce and Batman HATE each other. Batman is investigating the charities because he doesn’t trust Bruce Wayne, and Bruce is offended and refuses to acknowledge the newly publicized vigilante.

Bruce proceeds to be hailed as a Petty King TM on Twitter.
