When a person can't find a deep sense of meaning, they distract themselves with pleasure.

“dany survived a childhood of loneliness and abuse, even at the hands of her brother. nobody ever protected her as a child and she fills that void inside her by protecting others. she becomes mhysa, mother to thousands: the breaker of chains.”

"life doesnt get better, you just get stronger" does NOT include ages 11-17. life does in fact just get better from there. those years are dogshit. like, you do get stronger but its mostly just a factor of not being 11-17 anymore. positive thinking helps but it doesnt fix whatevers going on at 15, you have to brute force through that one raw
I feel so bad for myrcella like imagine you're a 10 year old chess prodigy who only wants to be cute and hang out with her friends but you end up losing like half of your face because your boyfriend's hot sister convinced your newest father figure that you would be a good president (you would)
AND ALSO you and your siblings are doomed to die in childhood because your dumbass loser mother who you haven't seen in like 2 years received a cursed prophecy from a circus magician when she was a child (???) free myrcella man wtf

“That’s right. I killed your master. And now I’m gonna kill you too. With your own word, no less. Which in the very immediate future, will become my sword.”

Martha Kent, you don't deserve having to deal with this bullshit. Also I can imagine Pa Kent being like "not the bat dreams again".
