and also thank u to my friend sage for sending me the post tagging this as cassie SEFOJSOEFJ
Feel that thinking about writing something about them bc I find nothing about them
Hot take (everyone expected it from me)
I think more about the Black Sisters than the Black brothers
Literally the idea that Andromeda escaped!! SHE MADE IT!! Only to have her daughter killed by Bellatrix! Her own sister!! THAT GETS ME
the amount of gwayne fans who dislike criston is killing me…. 😡😡😡
like wdym u dont ship them?? wdym u dont want them to be in a buddy-cop comedy au roadtrip where they fall in love??? 🤯🤯
wdym u don’t see the angst of a dornish-blooded man honour-bond to duty falling to a man who is conflicted due to their gender, criston’s race.. and cristons vows of celibacy?????
its so iconic and its a shame ppl dont see the vision 😭😭
smut's fun. have you ever read soul crushing, heart aching, head throbbing comfort that makes your eyes burn out of your head to the point where you just have to crawl into a ball because your inner child feels so safe? haha... yeah smuts fun.
Daeron fans finding out that Show!Daeron plays the lute:
cole sitting here like “alicent is the beacon i follow” and gwayne just being like “i don’t give a shit. stop fucking my sister”
I read it somewhere, but when they mention how a young man is highly appreciated by women it's a huge hint that it's HBO's way to tell us that the character will be gay.
And if it's true, now I'm afraid.
Considering how they handled Loras in GOT reducing almost all his scenes to his sexuality when actually he was soo much more than that, they're gonna do the same with Daeron.
Like, c'mon Hackondal and Mess, Daeron is described as Rhaegar Targaryen vibes even before Rhaegar Targaryen was a thing! But unlike religious zealot Rhaegar who cheated on his wife and caused a war because of an idiot prophecy, Daeron was Ned Stark's levels of loyalty. All his qualities will be reduced to... well, what he does when the lights go out.
But ofc they're gonna ruin him. I can see it coming, like winter. Oh well, what's one more character assassination in Team Green, right? *insert I'm tired boss meme here*
I feel like people don't get that these characters are complex and can do wrong. Like Rhaenyra having 3 bastards not the right move girly, or Aemond killing Luc, or Daemon always reaching for the crown, or Aegon being a drunk. Like they are more than those things.
A character can do good while still being evil, or do evil things while still being good. Like Luc took Aemonds eye and never got any consequences, doesn't mean Luc is a horrible person. Or how Alicent helped steel Rhaenyras throne, doesn't mean she's a bad person or doesn't deserve sympathy.
These characters are complex, cause they're people, I'm not a perfect person nor would I ever claim to be. People need to get that before trying to hide their favorite characters flaws in a dark closet.
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
one of the things that bothers me this season, is that they used jaehaerys' death for the daemon targaryen character arc.
rather than to show aegon's full rage potential, helaena's awakening to the power of her dreams or aemond's reaction.
