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.

If Catelyn Starks doesn’t have any Fans I’m de@d

Seeing a lot of (show-verse) fanfics missing the point about Catelyn's promise to Jon when he was sick, and that frustrates me because that was genuinely one of the best decisions the show made for her character when it wasn't making her engage in a petulant stubbornness contest with her teenage son. Having Catelyn make - and then subsequently fail to keep - a promise to her own Gods to treat a motherless child as her own was a great way to impart the sympathy for her character that you lose by not having her inner dialogue a la the books, and then to see so many fics with a summary akin to "Catelyn keeps her promise to Jon" is just such a *sigh*. Y'all don't get it. It says so much more that she couldn't. Not wouldn't. Couldn't. Don't ruin the one good change the show made for her!!

here’s how Daeron can still win

sadly to inform i am indeed a stereotypical fangirl. a horny bisexual woman who giggles when she thinks of her little made up men.

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

alicent and gwayne's convo was the best scene in the episode. actually siblings talking, not speaking fancy lines at each other. and it's fairly long, not half-baked, consisting both of some chatter deepening the existing world and the important bits. it characterises gwayne, alicent and even daeron a bit. and it has emotion, tells something new about their relationship. that was delightful

not the biggest alicent defender but everyone saying daeron's decent bc he wasn't raised by alicent, wb viserys??? those kids have two parents, wb their father??

alicent might not have been the best mother, but she truly loved her children and she did try (lowkey could have done better, but she was a child herself), viserys was so neglectful of his other kids that she was practically a single mother.

daeron didn't grow up seeing his father constantly choose his half sister over himself, he didn't spend his time thinking he's unworthy of his father's love, he didn't constantly have to witness an unhealthy relationship between his parents, and surely thats got to have an impact?

"your honour, i love them" i say about a character i would fistfight in real life
