Yeah But, Has God Seen All The Fanarts?

Do they think think that "strong female characters"="good people"?

- Rhaenys is an oracle of wisdom that only wishes for peace. Heleana doesn't have a taste for dragon riding or anything really, she's just there to have visions. Alicent is left behind and ignored... so she goes and talks with the enemy? And apparently Rhaenyra's ending in s1 and luke's murder meant nothing for her outside of 2 episodes? Are they scared of showing a woman acting out based on her emotions? I feel like anyone would be overwhelmed if a family member (not even a child necessarily) ended up being killed by the opposing side.

I feel like these people would instantaneously combust if you presented them with characters like Cersei or Catelyn, even Sansa.

It's so beautiful 😭😭😭😭

Like, i know it's cool that he found a reason to keep going, but sort of meh that this whole ordeal it's kinda the same like part one but with a different packaging.

Part two has a lot to appreciate, like some of the characters, moments and the designs, but i'm also conscious that i wouldn't waste my time or spare any thoughts about it if it was any other author

The worst part is that they think that by doing this it will make her a "deeper character". Sorry no, it does the opposite, it takes away from her agency, from the trauma she expirienced and how she had to adapt to that kind of society and become an enforcer of said system. Now it's just "good" or "bad".

"History will paint you a villain"

Fourth wall breaking to make us believe what they're putting in Rhaenyra's mouth.

Alicent went to Rhaenyra's wedding wearing the colors her House use for war, which created the Green and Black teams. She knew what she was doing.

Alicent was the only one who actively hated Rhaenyra's children to be bastards. Corlys and Rhaenys didn't really care, Rhaenyra's own husband didn't care, Viserys was totally happily in denial. Cole hated it, but his opinion doesn't matter.

Alicent made it a big deal, raised Aegon to be scared of Rhaenyra when he had no true animosity towards his sister before. And telling her son to spare Rhaenyra after years of telling him he was a challenge for her and would die if she becomes queen, was silly.

She helped put Aegon on the throne, and when learnt she was wrong to do so, started to show disdain for him that led Aegon to take his dragon to battle and get burnt.

Then, at his weakest state, she accepted Rhaenyra's deal that includes the murder of her son. The very son who did not want to be king in the first place. Just so she could run away with Helaena and her daughter. She is literally fleeing what she helped causing. She could protect Helaena and Jaehaera and stay in KL to be by her sons' sides and accepts the same sentence she put on them. But no, she still wants a way out of this mess.

So, the writers telling us, through Rhaenyra of all people, "Alicent is a only a victim of patriarchy and will be paint as a villain" is so stupid. Yes, she is a victim. But it doesn't justify all she did. In season two, she marvels at how messed up her boys are, when all their life they heard her complain about Rhaenyra and her bastard children, how Aemond lost an eye and how Lucaerys should have lost his too, that Rhaenyra will murder Aegon in cold blood when she becomes queen (before he usurped her).

So, yes, she is a villain and history will rightfully paint her as such. That doesn't make her a bad character, nor does it mean all victims become villains in turn; Rhaenys is a victim of patriarchy too, Rhaenyra and her mum, the servant girl who Aegon sexually assaulted, all the women of the story are victims of that.

I'm a solas hater (i love hating him, not his character) and it still feels like a cop-out to have the guy you are trying to stop just be the exact same from beginning to end. It's like they didn't know what to do with his character

Maybe I'm too much of a Solas stan but theres something really upsetting to me about every ending having Solas use his life force to uphold the veil. You know, the unnatural construct that destroyed the immortality of the elves, traumatizes spirits that pass through it, separates the physical world from his beloved Fade. I wish there was one ending where the veil came down ._.

And how did we get from his goals being saving the elven people (and the spirits) to doing it all for Mythal? I remember seeing a fan theory a while back that Solas was bound to Mythal's will and that's why he did everything, and I hated it because it robs him of all of his agency as a character. But that's basically what we got.

I think Solas was OOC which is sad because I was hoping he'd be the saving grace of veilguard.

Not the only ones, here in Chile exist the biggest community of palestinians outside the middle east, the majority of them escaped when at the end of the XIX century had to leave since they were being pushed to fight for the ottoman empire, the majority of them where christians. Palestinians no matter when or what their background is HAVE ALWAYS BEEN FORCED TO ESCAPE NO MATTER THE TIME PERIOD.

This weekend about 2 billion people will celebrate Christmas across the world, and the birth of their religion in Palestine. Today the only remaining 700 Christians, the descendants of the first followers of Christ, are being wiped out in Gaza and their churches bombed to pieces. [@/ Hanine09 on X. 12/23/23.]

Yup, literally the first thing i thought was: "well how will these freaks try to exploit this?"

Isn't it lovely when you and your best friend have a fairytale like kinght and damsel in distress dynamic and you wouldn't be able to live without the other because your existence has become forever intertwined????

history will say they were very good friends :)

I'm glad to hear it.
