I Waited 2 Years For This?!

Disappointed by the show in general, tbh. Gravely disappointed. I had such high hopes for this show and the writes ruined it completely.

This show isn’t even fan fiction, it’s a parody at this point. The writers clearly don’t know GOT facts and this episode showcases it big time…

To clarify:

There is no logical reason for kings landing to be experiencing a famine. The reach is their primary suppliers of food, while the water trade is simply for things like spices and salt, which is used to preserve meat. They were never dependent on that for the cities food supply.

(Also if it’s a water blockade…how is it that all they have to eat is fish?)

Even with the gates closed, they have store houses of food. The supplies within them could last the city a little over a year. So unless they aren’t pulling from them, there’s no freaking way that in mere weeks they’re experiencing wide spread famine to the point of rioting.

The whole food shortage thing seemed like a flimsy excuse to get the small folk to praise rhaenyra. But it makes no sense since she ordered the blockade and a few ships of food will not be enough to sustain the small folks long term.

It’s like the writers can’t make things make sense. They keep trying to spoon-feed viewers into liking rhaenyra. Now they just keep defying logic to make her either the winner or the victim in universe and it just…doesn’t work. Not at all.

I am so tired.

“helaena does not ride, she has no taste for it”

incorrect, wrong

she was riding dreamfyre since age eleven and only stopped due to her depression and grief. dreamfyre awoke, broke her chains, and roared so loudly that the entire dragonpit shook when she sensed that helaena jumped to her death. they LOVED each other﹠ this show is insane for ignoring their bond.

idk the difference between the two is kinda funny to me.

in the book, the riots happened organically without any scheming. the rumors of helaena's "murder" simply spread quickly, probably because of how shocking it was, and because of the fact that helaena was beloved. grrm confirmed it. something like that happening feels believable.

in the show, not only was their version kinda nonsensical for many reasons, but it only really happened thanks to mysaria's plotting. first elinda massey literally has to sneak into kingslanding (which like wtf) so the white worm's spies know to spread false rumors, and then she arranges for food to be secretly sent to kingslanding in rhaenyra's name to incite them.

the show basically had to create a reason or give for them rioting in rhaenyra's name, despite how silly it was and also overlooking the fact that rhaenyra is the reason for the blockade in the first place. (yes, they have alicent give the explanation that it is natural for people to blame the crown, but its very interesting how nobody among the smallfolk sees through the propaganda) versus the book where there was no need to manufacture some sense of loyalty to helaena because it already existed.

... woah

woah...

Can't wait for the Aemond Prince Regent era

Can’t wait to see how they uniquely ruin his characterization 🥲

!!!!!????!?!?!?!?!?!?!!!???????!?!?!?!?!

HOTD2 spoilers | nudity | MINOR DO NOT INTERACT!

Aemond Targaryen in House Of The Dragon S2E3

At least no, Aegon can't rape anymore, karma is real 😌🥰

1) If your gut instinct to an actor being uncomfortable with lines about their genitals being mutilated is to say they deserve it because they play a bad person, you are objectively a bad person. Aegon isn’t real, Tom is. And he has to say lines designed to humiliate his character about his penis in front of the whole cast without being warned beforehand and then forced to talk about it despite being uncomfortable. Objectively, that is gross

2) Aegon isn’t a rapist in the real version, it’s Black propaganda in the show (If they can call everything that is in book, the real canon, propaganda, than I can do the same to the show, which is shitty Pro Team Black fix it fanfic at this point). Aegon is a rapist for one reason and one reason only: To make the audience Team Black without question

3) Tom actively tried to stop Aegon from being a rapist in season 1. He read the book and knows the story, and therefore knew that people would never find Aegon sympathetic because there’s no coming back from rape, so this weird, gross “Gotcha!” you think you have Is pointless

Book!Helaena that was so lost into the madness of grief because of her child's death to the point she unalived herself.

VS

Show!Helaena helping the very person who orchestrated the death of her child.
