Our Pearly Gates Are Burning And Yet Somehow Fire Feels So Safe

truly the best thing about Conclave, absolutely the best thing, is that now everyone knows what I have been saying for 10 years: Catholics who want to bring back the Tridentine Mass are invariably, 9 times out of 10, a bunch of weirdos. Thank you Edward Berger for bringing this into popular conscience.

to bury a goddess

I don’t have a poem but there’s something about Gwayne being the desired gender (son) but being abandoned by his father and Alicent being the favorite but only because Otto can use her. The sibling bond being so strong that despite years of separation and estrangement Gwayne puts aside his resentment to comfort his sister by telling her about her son. Assuring that if there is poison dripping through it is not from her but the prison she is also trapped in. I don’t have the poetry, but you get it.

the moth

alicent finally breaking free from the religious constructs taught throughout all her life. breaking free from the men who imposed their duty and their wishes upon her, until she lost her own self and had to find it again.

then there’s rhaenyra who always chose to be free, and not let the wits of men win against hers, always controversial, now turning to the shackles of duty. stripping herself of hope and a peaceful ending in exchange to fulfill the role of a dutiful prophecy indirectly forced upon her.

these two women will always be the same coin but never the same face

i love love love these silly little kids they're so funny,, and watching link be a big brother to them all is just so sweet!! :]

get a print of this here!

i was confused at first as to why orwyle was so panicked when the guards knocked on the doors but when larys said "i'll have the sentry give you more warning" it made sense- they're trying to rehabilitate aegon, but they're doing it behind aemond's back so that he won't try to stop them and/or kill aegon. this is setting up a future confrontation where aemond gets taken by surprise by aegon showing up and relieving him of his duty and i like where it's going bc i live for the drama
