beat elden ring: nightreign after two days & it just makes me so happy to see dragon peepaw in the credits

i hope he knows how much he's appreciated outside of the whinier parts of the fandom

seeing people on tiktok revert back to the painfully inaccurate "targaryens are colonizers who uphold white supremacy & corruption & are everything that's wrong with the upper-class" while continuously consuming & producing primarily house of the dragon targaryen focused tiktoks & also glazing.............. you guessed it......................... half-targaryen jon snow.......................................

jon: i like dragons i wish i had one or three the fandom: he's going to kill daenerys & steal her dragons

[daenerystemper]

i brought this up to an old friend of mine & they actually turned it around on me & implied that i was racist for having a problem with jon & arya being darker than sansa / bran / rickon / robb, as if my problem was with them being mixed rather than the blatant obvious reasons they're drawn that way. especially when we have sansa's pov stating

It would have been easier if Arya had been a bastard, like their half brother Jon. She even looked like Jon, with the long face and brown hair of the Starks, and nothing of their lady mother in her face or her coloring. And Jon’s mother had been common, or so people whispered.

like the bastardphobia is already bad enough, but if you couple it with the desire to overly masculinize characters who they deem are poc then it definitely reeks :3

Arya being masculinized, adultified, and having her trauma ignored because people think she's "too strong" to be a victim is such a core experience for young girls of color

i defend grrm not writing because i know that he's an 80 year old man currently facing mortality & knowing that his public image has been squandered by bad adaptations & the ever prevalent meme that he's "too lazy" to write & also because 3/4 of this fandom just don't deserve to see it through

we are not the same

people will defend grrm not writing the books by saying "REAL book readers know the REAL conclusion" & then they believe f!aegon is real despite being introduced in the most red herring way, that daenerys will commit genocide in either the water gardens or king's landing, that the only good targaryens are dead targaryens & that everyone will come to understand the iron throne is a magical centerpiece that chooses who sits on it despite george saying "no its just a chair"

saw someone say "george didn't actually mean maelor throughout the post, he was talking about someone else" & i just........................ why would he waste 2000+ words complaining about maelor if he actually meant nettles

also while i'm on my bs, the greens did offer peace terms to rhaenyra. she put her family's lives in danger and chose to continue the war & stave an entire city because she refused to give up her claim.

hotd fandom believes otto's pressuring that rhaenyra would put her half-siblings to the sword despite her showing absolutely 0 interest in doing so pre-usurpation but cannot believe that the entire green council would go behind alicent's back to ensure that rhaenyra & her children would die despite the green council actively going behind her back anyway

you guys have to remember that rhaenyra is fully aware that in order to keep the realm at peace, it is highly likely aegon ii will want to kill her to maintain control over the throne & that includes her kids (the very thing that otto was grooming alicent into believing, except the cases here are two drastically different: rhaenyra was rightful heir to the throne & could ascend without tension / in order for aegon ii to maintain stability to the realm after usurping his half-sister, he would actually have to butcher her & her entire family, ESPECIALLY her children with daemon)

um :///// how dare rhaenyra who was raised to inherit the throne continue a war for HER THRONE :///// how dare she reject alicent's peace terms :////// ummmmm too girlboss 4 me wheeeeee

“Still you defend him!” is a crazy line to be thrown when from rhaenyra’s pov the only fault aegon has committed is ascending the throne. i guess it’s just so outrageous to her that anyone would dare live without abiding by her wishes

[daenerystemper]

i'm trusting no fandom opinion from someone who says "stannis the mannis" "our king bobby b" or "vizzy t" or "our aryan supreme race valyrians"

[daenerystemper]

changing alicent's age has started the ultimate butterfly effect that has now trickled down into generations of questionable timelined births including daeron "i am not even mentioned in season one" targtower & maelor "yes i really did start this drama" targtower because what do you mean aegon iii is likely too little to ride his dragon stormcloud to safety during the battle of the gullet

[daenerystemper]

i've seen the tides turning & more people becoming angry at george rr martin but in my experience, most fandoms enjoy viciously hating less than perfect media adaptations of their favorite series (shyamalan's avatar, percy jackson's 2010/2013 movies, willy wonka and the chocolate factory's writing made roald dahl leave the project & stephen king famously hates the shining) & i personally believe george is right to complain about how less than stellar writing will continue to affect hotd ! anyone who says he should finish twow/ados in response to his criticism should be stomped with hooves !!

dany & viserys

Daenys and her baby Balerion

You can't convince me he wasn't spoiled.

seeing people miss the entire point of grrm's blogpost is so funny to me because they saw the words "rhaenyra was not (much beloved by the smallfolk of king's landing)[at the time of helaena's suicide]" & are celebrating that instead of realizing that grrm's very public critique of the show's writers/writing & the eventual affects the changes will continually make to the detriment of the public's opinion of the asoiaf franchise because of inept adaptations
