grrm has a real knack for writing men who cower in the corner due to the overwhelming shame of their mere existence while simultaneously saying to themselves “i am the hottest girl in this grocery store” twice per page. jaime, theon, jon etc etc

revisiting daenerys chapters

assume fire and blood 2: electric boogaloo has the same issues with writing women as the first volume. which of the remaining targaryen princesses and queens in the family tree do you think would slot into the sexy tomboy category, the submissive waif category, and the evil femme fatale category? and who you think is going to be the rare well-written female character (my money is on elaena)

I don’t want to put people in categories like this because i want fire and blood 2 to be less sexist even though I know it won’t be. Heres some predictions though:

Morning gets poisoned in Oldtown because they want to kind of confirm the maesters are up to something. Rhaena dies of grief or childbirth or being a woman over the age of 35 in these shortly after.

Laena Velaryon has a kid with some random and then goes on a voyage to Valyria to find Elissa Farman’s dragon eggs and disappears.

Baela Targaryen early Blackfyre loyalist even though she dies when Daemon Blackfyre is like 5 years old because she is team let Daena do whatever she wants. She has a meeting in the capital with Viserys like 3 days before Baelor gets maybe-poisoned which could mean nothing.

Daeron Dreamer and Dae2mon Blackfyre hook up #real

All of Maekar’s siblings and children are described as “exceptionally pale” because GRRM’s racist freak advisors need everyone to know that even though they are half to three-quarters dornish everyone involved in this story is Whiiiiiite.

Every single Blackwood character gets the hereditary archery powers. Missy has a close call where she tries to shoot Barba Bracken and pins her braid to a tree. We already know Bloodraven shot Daemon Blackfyre but one of his sisters actually helped (the other one didn’t because she was too sweet and shy see this is fire and blood.) Betha Blackwood is a trick shooter who can thread a needle with a bow and arrow from 20 yards out and this is how she met Egg.

Aelora Targaryen mystery still a complete mystery.

In the interest of complicating the narrative, Bittersteel is now an antihero and Daeron II gets the Jaehaerys treatment. Fire and Blood II gets accused of being pro-Blackfyre.

Shiera and Shaera are both pro-valyrian revanchists we learn nothing of real import about. Shiera disappears off the face of the earth but someone matching her description is seen leaving Summerhall right after it happens

One of Eggs non-entity sisters is a lesbian and the other is a Septa

Do you think Cersei will make it in the books? I don't feel like any of her siblings are dying but I am not so sure about her.

3 leg parlay listen up. Tyrion will live. Jaime will roll 5 nat 20 charisma saving throws in a row and talk his way out of his Stoneheart trial somehow and then die later. Cersei is going to blow up King’s Landing while she’s still in it she’s gone.

ned’s king’s landing chapters are so funny it’s like they dropped aragorn into real housewives. varys littlefinger and cersei are perpetually cunting circles around this man leaving him gobsmacked bewildered and lost like it has NEVER been more dire for lord eddard stark

something something people forget misogyny exists. it’s not that class privilege doesn’t exist - in fact it is a driving force of asoiaf’s narrative - but women like cersei, dany, arianne, etc are terrified of being remarried bc being considered the property of your husband just sucks. cersei & dany show us that this role makes you vulnerable to a rather extreme version of ipv where you have no recourse, no way to protect yourself. catelyn shows us this leash is only so long as your husband lets it be. yes, it cannot be overstated that sansa and lysa experience a class privilege where they don’t have to wonder where their next meal is coming from, whether they’ll have a roof over their head, and this allows them the ability to plot to escape the situations they’ve been forced into. BUT. dany wears those golden collars as she gets married! the point is, your freedom goes only so far as your husband allows. and if you only have a life on someone else’s terms…is that a life???
