It's a fucking tragedy to me how much I have lost interest in any stark or sansa related discussions or content ever. U cannot just participate or care abt this family without some hoe crying abt house targ or dany. I try to rekindle my love for them reading books again but nope

voldemort grew up in the muggle world but spends most of his time with the kind of purebloods who pride themselves on knowing nothing about muggles. that probably means he is secretly wincing anytime a muggle thing comes up and they get it wildly wrong.

“One of the strongest feelings I remember from my childhood is, precisely, of being humiliated; of being knocked about by words, acts, or situations. Isn’t it a fact that children are always feeling deeply humiliated in their relations with grown-ups and each other? I have a feeling children spend a good deal of their time humiliating one another. Our whole education is just one long humiliation, and it was even more so when I was a child. One of the wounds I’ve found hardest to bear in my adult life has been the fear of humiliation, and the sense of being humiliated. Every time I read a review, for instance — whether laudatory or not — this feeling awakes. To humiliate and be humiliated, I think, is a crucial element in our whole social structure.”

I'm so over people in this fandom insisting that traditionally feminine characters are more hated while "girlboss" characters are praised.

It's not true. Dany, as an example, is hated because she challenges what people think a woman should be. This people "soft power" stans liked her in the first book but condemn her as evil when she has her own power.

"girlboss" characters, are very hated by, not only the trad stans who only like the traditionally feminine characters, but by the Reddit bros and other men.

So dany stans are supposed to not react and be calm when misogynistic assholes ship her with men like euron cuz apparently a young abused traumatized teengirl with horrible experiences with men means she gonna fall for violent assholes under disguise of attraction and apparently assholes in asoiaf fandom have such low misogynistic opinions on young girls that they want to set them up for more abuse and assault because " ha ha stupid teengirls dont know any better"? Do u all even hear yourself? If i see another mentally ill cunt ship euron dany or jorah dany and other violent pos men i am gonna do something violent 🙃 you all so openly misogynistic abt female characters it makes me rage. None of u bitches will have the same response and critic when asoiaf male characters stick there dick in anything but aren't called " psychologically damaged or attracted to this or that" u all love passing your personal fetishes and fantasies as logical theories and it makes me fucking puke.

Dany haters: Her enemies in Essos were all indisputably cartoonishly evil. Rapists, creepy warlocks, mass murdering thieves, slave owners, child killers. It's obvious the writers manipulate fans into siding with her by making the alternative so awful.

Daenerys *makes raiding villages illegal, makes rape illegal, makes owning & selling slaves illegal, makes killing kids illegal*

Dany haters: One of the things that rubs me the wrong way about her is how she always tries to impose rules on others and thinks her morality is better than theirs. She judges societies and forces them to change when they don't adhere to her worldview. What makes her so sure her way is better?

you know what I'm glad cersei ignored every warning she ever got about daenerys. for her own mental health

IMAGINE if she found out that this stupid targaryen teenager people keep trying to tell her about was a young queen hailed as the most beautiful girl in the world who frequently walks around wearing a dead lion over her head. her brain would MELT

Not Jonsas insisting there was Jonsa confirmation in the "original" GoT 8x06 script and blaming Emilia Clarke for changing it

dany antis: i came up with this wonderful theory that basically ignores and erases everything in the books, goes against all of the established themes, turns all of the characters into caricatures of themselves and paints grrm as an incompetent writer and as d&d's clone.

dany stans: this theory makes no damn sense

dany antis: how dare you say it doesn’t make any sense you delusional illiterate piece of sh*t prove to me why MY theory (that’s based on nothing) doesn’t make any sense

Dany fans: ah, yes, the asoiaf lore uses the term "Lightbringer" in antithesis with the Long Night, "dark and full of terrors", described as an apocalyptic event that Lightbringer in contrast should help escape humanity from, and literally "bring the dawn" ... light...... bringer...... dawn..... good..... dark .....night..... bad..... spoon.... fed.....

Dany anti just a while ago: but did you guys know what Lightbringer means IN THE BIBLE INSTEAD-
