I understand why it happens but is anyone else deeply uncomfortable with the increase of tramatic backgrounds on reality TV?
Like, yes, talking about stuff destigmatises it, but discussing your fertility problems and resulting miscarriage whilst throwing away 75% of your worldly possessions is perhaps not the best idea.
“sex/love is what makes us human!” people when then realize other animals do the same:

I HATE IT WHEN RHAELYA FANS SAY THAT ELIA WANTED RHAEGAR TO TAKE LYANNA AS A SECOND WIFE.
UHM???? FUCK NO!
DO NOT GET ME STARTED ON THIS.
first of all, elia was the only daughter of the RULING PRINCESS OF DORNE. do people think her mother sent her off to king’s landing to be disrespected? to be humiliated? NO. she was sent there to be the next fucking queen. aside from political ambitions, the princess of dorne was canonically friends with both joanna AND rhaella. she entrusted her daughter to her friend’s son.
second, elia knew how different the rest of westeros treated their women. sure, dorne isn’t the land of equal rights and milk and honey and all that shit but she definitely enjoyed more rights and higher standing back in sunspear, especially as the daughter of house martell. she knew how precarious her status can be despite being the crown prince’s wife. what fucking good would it do to her if she allowed her husband to forcibly break a betrothal between two MAJOR houses? to basically declare to the entire world and in history forevermore that she wasn’t enough for her husband and he had to get another wife?
third, HER CHILDREN??? she gave rhaegar two healthy babies. maybe she could have given him more had she gotten proper care (no, i do not fucking trust pycelle. he’d probably been sabotaging rhaella’s and elia’s pregnancies to please tywin). rhaegar getting another wife and thus having legitimate children not hers would put aegon and rhaenys IN DANGER. sure maybe lyanna would be oh so kind enough to not contest their inheritance but do people forget the STAB alliance??? the dance???
fourth, er the mere fact that lyanna was betrothed to robert fucking baratheon? disregarding the entire shit about lya running off (or not) with a married man after shitting on robert for being a manwh0re, YOU DO NOT JUST BREAK AN ALLIANCE BETWEEN TWO MAJOR HOUSES. even if the crown had a good reason to do so (which they didn’t), it was an agreement between house stark AND house baratheon. they DO NOT get a say in it. lord, this is contract law 101. robert’s rebellion was built on a lie my ass. the rebels had every good reason to rebel bro.
I CAN GO ON FOREVER BUT ILL JUST BE MAD
do you ever find yourself reading multiple HP fics at the same time and having to remember which one is which like oh is Voldemort setting up in Malfoy manor or the Riddle house here? should I be concerned that the horcrux hunt for the ring is going on right now or nah? Everyone’s wary of Dumbledore but I forget, is he just a chessmaster in this fic or is he actively against our intrepid heroes, maybe that was the other fic?
leave your laundry on the floor for them
