Am I The Only One Who’s Enjoying S2 😭 I Feel Like A Lot Of People Have Issues With The Plot / The

Thinking about how it’s canon that Viserys knew Otto was forcing Alicent to read to him and comfort him and talk to him and yet he was so selfish and so pleased by the fact that she was giving him attention that he just…went along with it?

Like he knew that marrying Laena, a girl three years younger than Alicent was wrong, and he KNEW that Otto was forcing Alicent into that position and he just…didn’t care. He forced her into a marriage she didn’t want, forced three kids on her before she turned twenty, and then proceeded to not only ignore her but ignore his children by her because they didn’t turn out the way he wanted them to.

Thinking about how he started to resent Alicent the moment she showed up in Green at the wedding because she dared to have a mind of her own. And how that led to him neglecting her and her children (because they are hers) for sixteen years.

I hope Viserys Targaryen is rotting in the depths of hell.

I just listened to TTPD and why does literally every song fit Wolfstar so well? Like…. Before I supported the MsKingBean is Taylor Swift theory as a joke… but I’m kind of starting to think it might be real.

Yeah I think I might literally do something. U don’t know what yet but I would be doing something to ruin the Duffers’ lives.

If we have to endure all these homophobic comments and death wishes towards Will who’s only “crime” was daring to be in love with a boy, and then the duffers DONT give him a happy ending and a romance???? I will be going ballistic

Labour by Paris Paloma was written for Alicent Hightower btw.

"your mom" is a metaphysical concept to me. when i make a "your mom" joke the last thing im thinking about is my friends actual moms, who i usually don't respect. the mom is a metaphor. the esoteric concept of mom. hope this helps.

Trans lesbians are lesbians :)

Like and reblog if your account is a safe space for trans lesbians. It feels like trans lesbians in particular get shamed and ridiculed a lot by people in and out of the community. If you’re reading this I want to let you know you’re valid and I hope your safe and doing well.

Hannigram:

Hot take based on fandom only but the people who treat HOTD as a football game cheering for greens vs blacks are as annoying as fans who only care about powerscaling. Bitch the fun in stories is seeing how characters react and grow in complicated situations if you're dismissing the writing and character development of a whole half of a show you're not watching it properly and you should probably stay with sports instead of fiction.

no but hear me out:

i want robin to kiss a girl in season 5 so badly and no matter who it is, in the end of the day i will take it because she needs a gf already BUT

it has to be nancy. like it has to be. it's not that i dislike vickie or anything but i just (i better not get canceled for that one) feel like her character was kind of poorly written? no hate to the actress at all, but to me it just felt like they copy-pasted robin's entire personality and turned it into a new character?? i don't know maybe that's just me? robin deserves a complex character by her side (nancy god damn wheeler) and i am dying on that hill. nancy is and has always been such a complex character and giving her a girlfriend would only EMPHASIZE this complexity. from s1 one until now nancy has been captured in this love triangle and it is pretty clear that she never felt fully understood in neither of those relationships. like she always had to prove herself you know what i mean? with both steve and jonathan. now guess what? she never had to prove herself around robin. ROBIN EVEN PUT HER IN CHARGE HELLO??

and robin...well the way she rambled around nancy?? the way she looked down when she saw the way nancy was looking at steve?? the way she called for nancy when she went after steve?? the way they held hands??? they both deserve each other so much. i could literally talk about this for HOURS oh my god. the ronance hyperfixation is going strong!

hello anon i understand u so strongly, and im sorry this took me so long to get to! i promise it wasn't intentional!

i will forever be on the train that even if vickie was done better than she was, she will always be a character introduced to give the lesbian character a love interest, she was doomed to this position from the start because she had no other real purpose! rockie will always feel inorganic because vickie is nothing beyond a love interest for robin.

this is. such a common problem, ESPECIALLY in wlw ships, and that's why i love ronance. nancy wheeler is immune to this phenomenon because she and robin were both created independently and with different purposes, and their stories come together so well its actually insane

nancy wheeler is one of those characters that is so hard to understand if you don't look at her through a queer lens, or at the very least an anti-misogynist one. i think the best thing the duffers could do for her is finish the arc she started in season 1, which is focused on self-realization and discovery.

the entire show she has been told who she is, what she should do, who she likes, who she loves, by everyone! it is never nancy who says these things, it is other characters telling her, even barb, even robin. how insane would it be if she came to the conclusion on her own that she liked women? or at the very least had looked at her own feelings not through the lens of someone who didn't understand her or the situation they were talking about.

robin falls into these same patterns, but the more she gets to know nancy, the more she really understands her, the more she backs off on those kinds of comments and the more she uplifts nancy's voice. there is SO MUCH POTENTIAL in them and the fact that it will more likely than not be ignored is so. agonizing. please duffer brothers see the vision

Ok but am I the only one who loved ALL the kids? (Minus Aegon, of course. He can die in a hole).

Like, from the moment they all came on screen, I adopted them in my mind. And I continued to love them all, even as they made mistakes. Even during the fight.

I don’t know why it’s so hard for people to admit that both Aemond and Luke were wrong, in particular. Because really, they were both wrong, it’s just that Luke’s fault had more serious consequences. And also, both of their faults came from a place of great fear for the safety of themselves and/or their closest family members.

Obviously, they all take some of the blame, but I think the ones most at fault for the fight (and by extension Luke’s death), are the adults. Because what it all boils down to in the end is that much like Alicent, and much like the Smallfolk, the kids are people who are innocents (or at least they were upon their initial introduction), who were thrust dead center in the middle of a war.

From the second they were born, each and every one of them was doomed to be turned into a sort of pawn for their parents (unintentionally for most of the parents, but still) and made to eventually fight against the ones that they were supposed to be able to grow up peacefully with.

And as for the “were they? Weren’t they?” Conversation in terms of if Jace and Luke were bullying Aemond or not?

Well, I wouldn’t call it bullying. But I would say, yes, that probably was going on for a while. But the thing is, when kids are young, they tease each other. Especially kids in their family who are close to their age. It doesn’t come from a place of malice, it’s just something that a lot of kids do before they’re old enough to fully develop comprehension skills of why this may be harmful.

Now this isn’t to say, that Aemond’s feelings were justified. No, my point is that his feelings were justified, but this also doesn’t make Jace and Luke some horrible, irredeemable bullies. They were just dumb kids, doing what kids do. Which would have turned out fine in the end if there wasn’t a rift growing between the kids because of their parents.

And by the way, this also isn’t to say that I agreed with Viserys’ choice of not talking to Jace, Luke, and Aegon about the prank.

I’m saying that the pranks don’t make Jace and Luke bad people, not that they’re good things to do.

As a parent, grandparent, and mature adult, however, it was Viserys’ responsibility to explain to his offspring why it was wrong.

And for the last time, AEMOND WASN’T TRYING TO KILL LUKE. He was trying to scare him, (similar to how he was trying to scare Jace with the rock in the fight where he lost his eye, it’s kind of like his tactic I think).

But he wound up scaring Luke’s dragon too, and Luke’s dragon hurt Aemond’s dragon and then Aemond’s dragon got pissed and ate Luke’s dragon, but since Luke was in the dragon it ate him too. THE DRAGON killed Luke, not Aemond.

So yes Luke’s death makes me cry but no it does not make me like Aemond any less.

Anyways, sorry for ranting. It’s just. THEY WERE/ARE ALL KIDS. They make mistakes, but none of with the exception of Aegon ever had any malicious intentions doing anything and I LOVE ALL OF THEM.
