It’s funny how Criston’s line about how every woman should be treated like the mother is used as an example of how he’s a misogynist who has a Madonna/Whore complex when the topic of the conversation between him and Aemond is the red light district and sex workers. Criston includes them in his label of respectable women. How on earth can he believe in the Madonna/Whore dichotomy when he says treat prostitutes like the mother? If anything he obliterates the dichotomy. This line of Criston is arguably one of the most progressive thing any HOTD character said. Heck even ASOIAF too. The only other character who shows any care towards sex workers is Brienne of Tarth. To be the only one that can be compared to Brienne in this situation is impressive as fuck. And I will not stop reminding this fandom of that.
Spent a lil time making some wholesome doodles of my favorite SnK ship ❤️
Sometimes it's nice to step back from how heavy the show actually is and draw something lighthearted ☺️
the way in which jon and robb's futures are foreshadowed by the mother of the other: robb dying too young and becoming a ghost that haunts their siblings, a reminder of innocence and happier days, and jon dying and being brought back to life, a shadow of what he once was, a dark mirror to himself
Team black on their way to argue with an iron chair
I swear to god the team black stans are gonna go wild/or silent when rhaenyra sits on the iron throne only to get more cuts than aerys and her father.
What are they gonna say, that the iron throne is sexist? Is the inanimate iron chair suppressing rhaenyras rights?
In all serious tho it would start cutting when she starts torturing people and taxing the smallfolk.
Like i fully believe aegon i's ghost is there and just living there as a spirit just to cut his desendants and as a warning to the people that the ruler is going too far.
To people saying Alicent is somehow a rape supporter by placing Aegon on the throne… are you good??? Did you not see Alicent slap him and denounce him as her son after what he did to Dyana? And to those saying something along the lines of “she should have killed him” or “she shouldn’t have supported his claim”; first of all most of you belong to the same part of the fathom that say that Alicent should have been punished for attacking Rhaenyra, and then you want her to kill a prince?!?!? I’m sorry where is the logic it that. Also, her son being a morally corrupt person doesn’t mean she should endanger the lives of all of her children and grandchildren by allowing Rhaenyra to become queen. Like, sure, sorry Aemond, Helaena and Daeron, your brother is not a good person so I’m leaving all of you (as well as the realm) at the mercy of Daemon and Rhaenyra who have openly killed people that stood in their way and spoke the truth before but no I’m sure it’ll be fine, she’s your sister, never mind the fact that she threatened to torture your ten year old brother after her sons maimed him for speaking the truth, I’m sure it’s all good now and she’s going to leave Viserys’ THREE male legitimate sons running around in peace.
Also, if Alicent is supporting rape by being in proximity to Aegon and giving him more power what on earth does that make Rhaenyra who placed wifekiller blood supremacist Daemon at her side??? Make it make sense.
Sara hess the bane of my existence is BACK
Why is alicent this composed? Isn't this supposed to be AFTER b&c? Like girl they literally had your grandson's head chopped off and you are still defending Rhaenyra?
The hightower slay genes in action
Luke and Jaehaerys watching both their families hesitating to fight each other even after their deaths:
Tell me I’m not the only one who's been thinking this
alicent hightower isn’t real, she can’t hear your hilariously funny jokes about her rape, which are rooted in victim blaming and rape apology rhetorics. but rape victims are real and we can read your pseudo-deep analyses on how 15-year-old girl apparently outpowered the fucking king and should be blamed for seducing his old ass. it’s getting tiring.
Mainly a Hotd blog but I also enjoy talking about Asoiaf and Aot. Book!Alicent and Criston slander is not permitted here. 19
