bla bla bla Aegon II is not the rightful heir!

bla bla bla Rhaenyra is not the rightful heir!

blablabla MY favorite fantasy mass murderers are actually the good guys!

Do you know who was not the rightful heir to shit? Who was very much not "the good guy"?

Aegon The Conqueror. The very reason why there is even all those debates through the series history, between this or that Targaryen, the reason why there is an iron throne in the first place, and for all the wars for it

In a monarchy, the truth of myths regarding divine rights of the royal and the noblemen is that those are nothing but justifications for the upholding of feudalism and it's social order. The only crime one can commit in a war of conquest or succession is losing it. "The rightful monarch" is the one who wins, because outside of that, there is no such thing.

History is told by the winners. Might makes right.

"Power resides where men believe it resides. It is a trick, a shadow on the wall."

Have your favorites, have fun watching, it's entertainment after all. Root for whoever you want, for whatever reason you fancy. But do not fool yourself. They do not actually have the right to shit and you know it, you are not morally above anyone for rooting for this or that character and you know it.

James Dean as Caleb Trask East of Eden (1955) dir. Elia Kazan

Good Christian people, I have not come here to preach a sermon; I have come here to die. For according to the law and by the law I am judged to die, and therefore I will speak nothing against it. I am come hither to accuse no man, nor to speak of that whereof I am accused and condemned to die, but I pray God save the King and send him long to reign over you, for a gentler nor a more merciful prince was there never, and to me he was ever a good, a gentle, and sovereign lord. And if any person will meddle of my cause, I require them to judge the best. And thus I take my leave of the world and of you all, and I heartily desire you all to pray for me.

Just went through the anti Daenerys tag and it’s genuinely filled with the most intellectually dishonest people ever. Just a gross misinterpretation of the text to fit a specific narrative they want. 😭 more than half of what they talk about isn’t even supported by the text or is only from the show.

“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.”

"Christianity is the only major world religion to have as its central focus the suffering and degradation of its God. The crucifixion is so familiar to us, and so moving, that it is hard to realize how unusual it is as an image of God." Churches sometimes offer Christian education classes under the title "Why Did Jesus Have to Die?" This is not really the right question. A better one is, "Why was Jesus crucified?" The emphasis needs to be, not just on the death, but on the manner of the death. To speak of a crucifixion is to speak of a slave's death. We might think of all the slaves in the American colonies who were killed at the whim of an overseer or owner, not to mention those who died on the infamous Middle Passage across the Atlantic. No one remembers their names or individual histories; their stories were thrown away with their bodies. This was the destiny chosen by the Creator and Lord of the universe: the death of a nobody. Thus the Son of God entered into solidarity with the lowest and least of all his creation, the nameless and forgotten, "the offscouring [dregs] of all things" (1 Cor. 4:13).

—Fleming Rutledge, The Crucifixion: Understanding the Death of Jesus Christ (p.75)

“What are you afraid of losing?”

“Nothing in the world actually belongs to you.”
