my love my love

the writing in hotd has reached such a high levels of nonsense im kind of finding it impossible to have opinions anymore. I cant make sense of this writing. I cant figure out these characters. I cant follow their motivations. I dont know what this story is trying to tell me. One thing that stands out to me at the moment is it seems to be indulging in the myth of targaryren superiority (despite questioning it earlier in the narrative??) and indulging in the idea the greens are somehow less targaryen than the blacks when the whole point of the text is BOTH sides are targaryens. They're family thats the whole point. And the show indulging the warped propaganda created in-universe to imply one side was less targaryen is exactly that - Warped ! Not accurate ! Missing the point !! At the moment it feels like the real war is happening in the writers room. Someone get this creative team a divorce lawyer i need them to come to a speedy custody agreement.

half-siblings? more like twins.
