people who let me wake up to this get a special place in heaven. firefly_fox how does it feel to hold my life in ur hands....
Why there are people thinking Gwayne was shading Alicent?????!!!!!
The lack of media literacy on this fandom is just š
If Catelyn Starks doesnāt have any Fans Iām 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!!
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.
iām not scared to admit iām extremely attracted to gwayne hightower
Shout out to all the Black ppl that can no longer participate directly in the fandom they love because of the stresses of racism šš¾ 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.
That whole conversation between Alicent and Gwayne is so sad, but I just canāt 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 werenāt 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 didnāt grow up in an environment that eats up kindness and gentleness.
This whole family is so messed up.

If the writers of House of The Dragon keep gaslighting the audience into thinking Viserys was anything better than a powerful man who stole a young girls future, dreams and physical body in the quest for a son he will never love, I will riot
