Poor kids really, 0 thought was put in their feelings towards their parents remarrying so soon, they deserved better :-/
I will never be over the kids' reactions at Daemon and Rhaenyra's gross Valyrian wedding. Jace looked so hurt. Luke was crying and had to be comforted by the maester. Rhaena and Baela were so lost and confused. Those kids deserved so much better.

Yes say it louder! Also I really don't get Mysaria's double standards. In episode 9, she's only willing to give Aegon back to the greens if they promise to stop the child fighting pits in flea bottom. It shows she cares for exploited, abused children. But then she helps Daemon brutally murder a six year old boy? Wtf! Poor kids should be helped but the noble ones have to die? I'm speechless
I’ve seen a lot of Mirri haters saying Mirri supporters should support Mysaria no matter what.
Here’s the problem with that, Mirri is forced into slavery, violated repeatedly, and sees her home destroyed and people she loves killed. Mirri gives clear instructions for Khal Drogo to heal, which he ignores and this gets even more sick. Mirri then attempts to heal Drogo from the brink of death but tells dany there will be a cost. Dany asks if her own life will be the price and when told no she agrees to it. Mirri is then blamed for Drogo not being ‘Alive’ and turns she gets to roast dany saying this is what she saved. Then Mirri is burned alive.
Mysaria in contrast is now a powerful spy master with multiple people spying for her throughout kings landing. She assists her ex lover in murdering a child that she probably doesn’t even know, mentally torturing the mother and grandmother of that child.
They are not the same. Mirri followed orders from her enslaver and when her enslaver was not happy with the outcomes she was burned alive. Mysaria helped murder a child who’s family had done nothing to her.
My hot take on the AOTNR project: A huge portion of the "tHiS iS sOoO dIsReSpEcTfUl tO tHe AuThOR" commenters actually don't care about it at all, and instead they either:
a) feel insecure that their canon ship may be somehow threatened by this doujinshi,
b) liked the original ending, but hate to be disagreed with (or need to be validated) and feel threatened by the amount of people who could potentially sway to the fanmade one (...or even simply start to see some plotholes/illogicalities in the original one).
Obviously, not everyone is like that, but I swear - for some, it's just so painfully obvious that their stance on the project stems from some weird insecurity issues...just get a grip. It's a fanfiction, and, despite the absurd claims some people make, nobody is forcing it on you. There are 93737282928272 other fan-made projects, be it stories, comics or animations online, it's really not that deep. You don't have to look it up, read it or interact with its fans. You don't have to flaunt how you didn't read it (obviously!) but saw the screenshots and thought it was terrible. You don't have to mock the people who enjoyed it or the team who worked on it. You're not cool, neither some knight in shining armor. You just look ridiculous, if not even desperate.
Now, I'm a huge advocate for polite discussion and constructive criticism. If you read the work and see any issues with it, it's okay to talk about it or simply voice your opinion in a civil way. However, if you do it the way stated above, then that's kind of pitiful and maybe you should rethink why are you so insecure about a piece of fiction...🤷
Aegon was chosen as the worst father in the show.
Alright then name another man in the show that degrade one of his biggest supporter and almost force him to be on all four like a dog because of his child?
Or which one of them look this happy while holding their child (if they even hold them in the first place) and laughing like a child without caring about how others may think?
Look how proud he is at how his son is annoying others 😂💕
Have any other dad in this show ever smiled like this while looking at their child? I don't remember.
Also he's the youngest father in the show but honestly I think the best one. Because he's trying to be everything that his father wasn't. Yes he's late and this is why it's even more heartbreaking. He see his children as pure angels who had no fault (he's right). Unlike others he don't love his children because they have dragons or their marriage can give him power or because he's in love with their mother. He love them because they are his children, his blood, his pride.
Streets saying Aegon will try to off himself, as seen by what appears to be a strangle mark in this EW photo. OMG!
Hollow Mind AU where everyone ends up in Belos’ mind
so i think show!alicent would never sleep with criston cole (and vice versa) and i truly believe that only makes them desire each other more. and there's something deeply exciting to me about how twisted that is.
like yeah i enjoy the idea of the bubble finally bursting and them having having dramatic passionate sex, but i dont really see that as being in character for them (although I WILL read those fics)
I can only see a continuation of years of torturous tension...of them making meaningful eye contact and then looking away, flustered, or lightly brushing hands and savouring the few moments of physical contact they can have without being improper
i think both of them have wild fantasies that neither of them will ever act upon because it will ruin the ideals of purity and devotion that they want for themselves and each other
i think if either of them acted upon their sexual desires, the other would not only be disappointed, but lose interest entirely
however, i think if they became aware of each others sexual desires and even acknowledged them...but made it clear that they would never touch each other...that would just drive both of them crazy with lust because they would be proving to each other that no matter how much they want each other, they have the fortitude to resist...even though it's so so difficult
and i think thats really messed up and really really hot
i love them
gotta come up with some ways for them to express intimacy without touching, or at least not touching in a way that's overtly romantic or sexual - its gonna involve a lot of religious stuff for sure
I'm genuinely weirded out by team black fans that are so obsessed with the whole team Nyra vs team Aegon war that they feel bad for liking a character from an opposing faction.
Like those who say shit like:
"Oh Haelena is adorable! She's the ONLY green I like ^_^"
Or
"Aemond is such a hot and interesting character 😍. But g-guys I'm still 100% team Rhae Rhae don't worry about it!"
Bro why are you saying it like it's a bad thing?We're not actually living in Westeros. You won't be thrown in the black cells for treason or something.
I'm personally team green ftw but that doesn't make me feel bad for liking a lot of black characters! It's quite shocking that a lot of fans don't get this. You would enjoy this show a lot more if you stopped mindlessly hating on your "enemies".
Tell me you don’t understand the medieval setting without telling me you don’t understand the medieval setting
BT: omg consistent laws on who gets power is basically supporting slavery!
At this point I can only laugh
If you must know why keeping consistent laws around power transfers are important, I’ll draw a little comparison. Imagine if the US president decided that Joe Shmo from Canada will be the next US president without any election. That’s basically what Viserys did in medieval terms. Does it look weird to modern people? Yeah, but when you actually put yourself in that time frame you understand why having consistent laws creates stability and avoids war. Like how the inconsistent handoff of power from Viserys to his kids caused war!
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.
Mainly a Hotd blog but I also enjoy talking about Asoiaf and Aot. Book!Alicent and Criston slander is not permitted here. 19
