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.
being a daeron girlie is so rewarding these days...thank u for the little nibbles of information about my sweet boy....
That whole conversation between Alicent and Gwayne is so sad, but I just can’t move on from how Gwayne assures Alicent that she tried her best. Now I will not deny that Alicent has her faults as a mother, but she was also a mother at 15. After Otto left, she was alone, with only her children. Children who weren’t all hers because they were princes and princesses of the realm. Children who had to live knowing they came second to Rhaenyra, who had to live in a court that knew they came second. Alicent definitely had a hand in how her kids grew up, there is no denying that, but my goodness, they never stood a chance in the first place. Daeron was spared but at the cost of his family. He is kind, perhaps because he is more inclined to it, but also because he didn’t grow up in an environment that eats up kindness and gentleness.
This whole family is so messed up.
whenever i think my Haikyuu brainrot is getting out of hands, i remember my level of obsession is not even near of grown men's obsession towards sports, namely soccer and football, and I feel immediately less mentally ill
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.
As much as I hate the fact that they don’t follow the show and that many people say that “Fire & Blood is not a reliable source” (what is a hole new thing) it is so true so many characters (especially Alicent & Rhaenyra) Are just going from side quest to side quest. And you get the feeling (especially Alicent) like these characters, from season 2, are not the same people, as thei are from season 1, and not in the characters arc kind of way more in the: “we are inconsistent with how we write these characters, but pretend it all makes sense.” ???????????
"fire and blood isn't supposed to be a completely true story. the showrunners can adapt things how they want, they don't have to follow the source material."
my brother in christ they are not even following season one
i’m not scared to admit i’m extremely attracted to gwayne hightower
i think the daeron talk between alicent and gwayne is my biggest win this episode
Of course they are going to blame Alicent for how Aegon and Aemond turned out to be, and say that is why Daeron is kind; completely ignoring that:
A.Helaena is also a sweetheart and
B.Viserys is also their parent, and he did little no nothing for these boys
