Since I’m part of the Asoiaf side of social media and not the Got/Hotd part I’m a much happier person
I miss the good old days when Rhaenyra and Alicent could hate each other in peace, as GRRM intended. They were never friends, there was a 10 year age difference between them and they really hated each other. Not to mention Alicent could be a conniving b*tch with a real agenda. No “doe eyes”, no “misunderstandings”, no nothing.
Since HBO took over, we have to endure some sort of twisted queerbaiting and a complete downgrade of Rhaenyra Targaryen because oh dear women simply hating each other for good reason is just not in accordance to today’s political agenda.
Daeron fans finding out that Show!Daeron plays the lute:
Reminder to everyone here that the actors have no control over the writing. None.
Tom Glynn Carney went round and round with Sara Hess about making Aegon a rapist. He lost greatly.
Nikolaj Coster Waldau had an interview a few years back where he talked about going to D&D and the rest of the writers time and time again, begging them to stop making Jaime such a big waffler. They told him he is an actor and to act, let them do the writing.
The actors have no power. They are contracted for multiple seasons as actors and if they tried to quit, they'd be sued for breach of contract.
We reasonably talk a lot about how that final scene was a character assassination for Alicent, but not nearly enough about what an entitled, unreasonable, and insufferable asshole Rhaenyra was acting like that entire scene.
being a daeron girlie is so rewarding these days...thank u for the little nibbles of information about my sweet boy....
Yea typical for the Hotd fandom to be like the writers of the show (I sound like a crazy hater) and make that there favourites have done nothing ever wrong. (IMPORTANT: Both sides have this problem)

i don't smoke for the obvious reasons of not wanting to develop an addiction to nicotine but god do i so often feel the emotion 'i need a cigarette'.
Shout out to all the Black ppl that can no longer participate directly in the fandom they love because of the stresses of racism 👍🏾 you contain multitudes of value and I'm sorry that the color of your skin and the power of your voice makes people not want to acknowledge that.
tfw you are scrolling through that weirwood.net trying to get critical information on blackfyre whereabouts but you actually see your great-grandpa having a coked-out prophetic blood nightmare because you put the wrong daemon into the search parameters
