It's endlessly funny to me that there are still so many people who don't get that some of us simply do not care about applying morals to our favourite fictional media.
You can rant and yell and cry about how, according to you, I'm a disgusting monster for loving the sexy evil characters and preferring the problematic pairings with a shit load of sexual tension but here's the thing:
I don't. Fucking. Give a shit.
If you think writing long rants about why a ship is toxic or why a character is a terrible person, and why everyone who enjoys that ship/character is an immoral creep, gives you a higher level of morality... you need to get a grip in all honesty.
It's really not that serious. You're not changing any minds, you're not enlightening anyone - you're just being an annoying asshat who thinks their righteousness is more important than everyone else's fun.
Get over yourself đ€

In your opinion, would Princess Viserra's fate have changed if she had been promised to Lord Manderly's heir, and not to him?
That is to say, if marriage to the Manderlys were necessary to formalize a pact with the North, perhaps a handsome husband of the same age who would make her Lady of White Harbor would be more interesting to the young princess.
I won't hold back. NOTHING about Viserra's storyline makes any sense short of all the characters having a stroke.
Perceptive and compassionate Alysanne, who previously demonstrated considerable matchmaking skills, suddenly becomes very bad at it. (Don't get me started on Elio Garcia's attempt to defend Alysanne's OOC behavior as her being jealous of her own daughter's beauty.)
Jaehaerys suddenly becomes an absentee father from the 1950s rather than, you know, a medieval king for whom his daughter's marriage is of the utmost political importance.
Septon Barth? Grand Maester Elysar? Both MIA.
Theomore Manderly? If he was truly canny, he would have seen the offer for what it was and declined it.
Its true, the best way to tie the North closer to the south (and more specifically the Iron Throne) short of House Stark is House Manderly. However, marrying Viserra, a princess (and the prettiest one at that) to Theomore entirely defeats that purpose. One, a fat man old enough to be your grandfather is hardly appealing on a personal level, especially to a teen princess who knows just how attractive she is. Two, any children Viserra had would come behind four wives' worth of stepchildren, practically guaranteeing that the future Lords of White Harbor won't share any direct blood ties to House Targaryen, which brings me to my third point. Marrying Viserra to Theomore more or less dooms Viserra's line to obscurity and she herself to a life of dependency on the charity of her stepson.
What, then, would have made way more sense? Marrying her to Desmond, who, as Theomore's great-grandson, would probably be fairly close in age to her, not to mention higher in the succession.
Now, to answer your question, yes I absolutely do believe Viserra might have lived a longer (and perhaps even fulfilling) life if her parents had picked someone other than Theomore Manderly to be her husband. Remember, the whole reason she was even out and about the night of her death was because she wanted to have fun one last time before resigning herself to her fate. If she had instead been looking forward to her wedding she wouldn't have had any incentive to sneak out, which makes the chances of her suffering a tragic accident the way she did in OTL astronomically lower.
Thanks for the question, @diegoedil
Imagine your mother telling you, you will have a new baby sister/BROTHER to play with and then the next day you're standing in front of her corpse. And you're only 8 when this happen.
this my young and motherless rhaenyra đ

Hi I'm really sorry for the terrible comments you are getting. But I think it is mostly because House of the dragon is now canon. Which I get because people like you have being fans longer than hotd fans. Calling hotd fans terrible when you are the one making unnecessary rude comments and playing the victim Is just wrong.
In all seriousness, how is that fanfic shitshow supposed to be canon when the viewers doesn't even understand what the universe of 'A SONG OF ICE AND FIRE' is abt lol.
You people are the same people who said otherworldly valyrian beauty was a propaganda made up by the conquerors so they could be seen as worthier rulers. Like I wish I was making this up.
The same people who bullied a 60+ man who has been a (Tolkien, GRRM, fantasy) viewer for YEARS, all because he said the actor who was playing Renada in that shitshow was not beautiful enough to be 'THE REALM'S DELIGHT'. That's all he said, he didn't say the actor was ugly or any other negative comment. But people bullied him off the app.
GRRM HIMSELF HAS SAID NO OTHER CANON IS TRUE BUT THE BOOKS. Like this man, at his age has to earn his living somehow.
If you like the show canon and believe it to be canon, FINE. But coming into my asks and leaving unnecessary asks is perfectly sane behaviour.
How am I playing the victim here when I get called a pedophile because I like Daenerys and Viserra.
Daenerys was a 13 getting rap3d.
Viserra was a 15 year trying to escape a life of marital rap3 but died a virgin.
I'm bored waiting for the bus to go home and continuing with a joke that I started yesterday with friends about changing all the names of the shit show because I refuse to call anyone the same as in the canon, I've looked up names for almost everyone , notice that they are in Spanish and I don't know if they all have translations in English đ€Ł but they sound worse in Spanish haha (believe me)
Renada (credits to @sweetestpopcorn ) and her sons will be: Jacobo, Lucrecio, JoaquĂn, AarĂłn y Vicente.
Alisaint (credits to @sydalelys01 ) and her children: AarĂłn, Elena, Armando and DarĂo ( well this one doesn't exist X'D)
DamiĂĄn and "his" daughters: Bea and Raquel.
Rita (credits to @sweetestpopcorn) Cornelio and their children: Leonor and Leonardo ( credits to @alisa-ioana).
As Alisaint's father and Renada's discarded sex toy we have Octavio and CristĂłbal.
Obviously the mummy is also Vicente.
If these names sound soap opera it is totally intentional on my part đ«¶
Not people saying âFandom has always been like thisâ in that vent post I made. No. It hasnât always been like this. Fandom has NEVER been like this until recently and if you were in fandom pre-tumblr purge, pre-twitter, pre-netflix boom, pre-tiktokâŠ.then you would fucking know it was nothing like this.
We still had the drive to create. We still sold prints and charms and made zinesâŠbut it was never like this.
The introduction of streaming, binge shows that drop all at once, tiktok and vine RIP i still love u vine but you were the beginning of a particularly ugly era) creating this bite sized, quick paced âcontentâ era of creation and it bled out into fucking everything else.
Fandoms didnât die down when the show ended or the season was over. You didnât mass unfollow artist, writers or moots just because they changed fandoms. There wasnât this need to please the algorithm in order for your posts to get seen by people and enjoyed.
Fandoms used to last YEARS. Star Trek is literally the oldest running fandom out there and you got people in there that could care less about the new stuff and still have been happily prancing through their fucking fifty year old fandom today. Hell, even SPN after all itâs fuckups and shitshows has a dedicated fanbase STILL creating tons of art and fic.
There is no patience anymore. No calm feeling of taking in fandom and friends at a pace that which doesnât make you stressed and is still fun.
Do I blame fandom for this? Of course not, but people are complacent with it and start changing their vocab to accommodate and end up making the situation so deep it cant be fixed.
We call Art & Fic Content now, completely stripping the value of what it is to a level of consumerism instead of personal entertainment & community bonding.
THE most beautiful woman with THE utmost tragic life and story đ»đ»đ»
And now a completely sincere question,
what benefit did the Targaryens bring to Westeros?
@omnipotent-scient
Now there's this acc that said canon/book Alicent and Rhaenyra's beauty cannot be compared, because 'Alicent is just as beautiful as Rhaenyra'. And their reasoning? Because Hightowers have Silver/blonde hair. And ofc Alicent had silver hair. And silver hair is the only thing that makes Rhaenyra more beautiful than Alicent.
The only Hightowers with silver hair is Alerie, who is most likely 40+, it could simply be age. OR the fact she came after Rhaena married into House Hightower. She had six DAUGHTERS. Lady Sam and Lyonel had six SONS. I'm not saying they all married each other. BUT, they're cousins. Though Westerosis did not marry their siblings, they did marry their cousins (ex: Tywin & Joanna, were first cousins).
It is so stupid how the shitshow has brainwashed people.
The only upperhand Alicent had on Rhaenyra was the fact she remained a slim beauty after 4 pregnancy.
not a bot, just a chilling lurker. Viserra and Rhaenyra and DaenerysÂł are baby girls who deserved better. âAnd here it is, our final night alive, As the earth burns to the ground.â
