like yall no offense but they didn't even give emilia clarke a fucking blanket to cover herself during the drogo-dany rape scene. jason momoa had to call for one because they fully expected her to just hang out Completely Naked on set and never cover up. she literally had to get it put in her contract that she didn't have to show tits anymore because they would not stop guilting her into doing it, and they did this to her while she was in the middle of recovering from a brain aneuryism. they fired the original myrcella actress because she mentioned she wasn't fond of how much the women in this show were naked. esme bianco - who was in the middle of a horrific issue with marilyn manson abusing her btw - asked if she could have a story that let her keep her top on a bit more and they not only immediately fired her, they had her murdered by joffrey in a heinously sexualized way. condal & hess are annoying but so far not even a little comparable! olivia cooke or fabien frankel or emma d'arcy or bethany antonia having storylines You Don't Like is not the same as being sexually harassed on set!!
#getting on my soap box#like i don't think some people really understand how god awful that set was.#caveat i am a prison abolitionist whatever but like those two should be locked up for sex crimes#and i don't mean like 'haha jokey' i mean i think emilia clarke and multiple other women#have a genuine like a Civil Case for claiming a hostile work environment that directly put them in harm's way!

i guess i’ll say this here too, but i do not appreciate comments specifically aimed to narc on my pin design, mainly because she has MY body type. like… she’s based on a real person and that person is me 😭😭😭
i tend to do this with characters i like, and for bfdi it’s pin. not to go into too much detail but i don’t like my body and self-acceptance is something i struggle with, obviously it’s gotten easier though. i just like drawing pin, and i like putting her in cutie patootie outfits to express my happiness in drawing her body type 🤷♀️ i won’t ever apologize for that
you’re ofc free to dislike her design, you’re free to dislike any of my designs i don’t really care, just be mindful of the way you speak about it

i wish divorce existed for them so alysanne could have divorced jaehaerys. she’d be in her element as a high powered recent divorcée in her twilight years, she’d go crazy like they do on grace & frankie, she would have finally been unchained from that black hole of a man and she would have destroyed him in public opinion and gotten rhaenys on that throne.
#too bad valyria was more roman than nordic 🤧#i wish one (1) westerosi culture had divorce.#do any of them have divorce i can’t remember an essosi one that does either. sad! george u r literally divorced!#is this like how all the moms in my writing are good moms bc i don’t want to deal w my mommy issues. george is that the problem.#getting on my soap box#alysanne targaryen

everyone says val is going to be romantically involved with jon WRONG she is going to the catelyn to his robb, he’s gonna wake up and be like “i had some strange dreams about ghost that i’m trying to shake off” and she’s going to put monster down so she can grab jon by his coat and go “NEVER IGNORE YOUR SOUL DOG. WE HAVE TO FOLLOW HIM RIGHT NOW AND KILL EVERYONE WHO STOPS US. GODS, JON YOU KNOW NOTHING AS USUAL.” they’re gonna go on an adventure just a lady her kidnapped baby the idiot she’s guiding and his soul dog. no kissing allowed unless it is to give monster a million kisses on his chubby face!

every single “they should have been smacked more” is a crazy take tho like the joffrey one feels particularly wild because not one but two people talk about robert nearly slapping him to death as a baby and are clearly freaked out by the incident, but people will say it about cersei & theon too and it’s like. u think MORE domestic violence would have made cersei stable?? rodrik cassell straight up says “i should have killed you as a kid” completely ignoring that the cavalier way theon’s life and death is treated when he’s a child is exactly the reason why he’s insane. none of the books are particularly subtle about this and yet!

like people are always whacking george for this and yeah he can be a bit handwavey with like “margaery and her cousins” “this random girl we never hear from again was alysanne’s lady for many years” or whatever, like he doesn’t single out more than two or three girls usually, their families aren’t always as politically active as you’d expect them to be but they are THERE they do EXIST like there’s a FUCKTON of tyrells in that capital, ned himself comments on the sheer number of evil blondes hanging around, All Three Baratheon Brothers Are There For A Long Time, petyr is by himself but he has an ENTIRE SPY NETWORK meanwhile ned just rolls up with nothing but a glorified intern, a mean party nun, and his two young daughters and is like “i can fix the entire government actually politics is easy” NED WHERE ARE YOUR CRONIES. THE ENTIRE NORTH IS LINING UP TO BE YOUR INSANE HENCHMAN AND YOU LEFT THEM ON READ.
#like JUST JORY???? he can only do so much!!!!!!!#wyman would have loved it. the karstarks would have loved it. the mormonts would have loved it. the umbers would have loved it.#these dudes are ITCHING to be part of a conspiracy give them an outlet ned.#getting on my soap box

similar to the “wow sansa thinks about aemon & naerys the tragic incest couple a lot wonder what that sign is for” people will make the link that sansa’s namesake is kinda funny compared to all the other kids….and then not follow the thread as to why sansa is randomly named after a stark woman who married her half uncle to stave off a succession crisis lol
#book jonsa#jonsa#getting on my soap box#i mean you can also read it from a queen sansa pov - she’s named for a stark woman who got usurped and then they’re like#anyways she’s staying in the vale. okay.

i hate when ned gets dragged into this “second brothers who have a complex” thing esp when it’s a “well ALL the houses have this problem” ned doesn’t actually!!!! ned shows us no jealousy over brandon being heir to winterfell, what ned shows is a very obvious and deep seated discomfort with the fact that his brother was brutally violently murdered and next thing ned knows he has his brother’s job, his brother’s house, and his brother’s wife!!! that feels a little different to me, don’t insult my man here by comparing him to your floppy ass second sons who are mad they’re gonna get the world handed to them but their brother gets slightly more handed to him!!!!
#‘it’s not just targs that have this issue’ correvt stannis and renly are also huge bitch babies!#however ned does not have this issue. ned feels weird that he got all of brandon’s shit after brandon was murdered and that’s totally#rational bc it is in fact a deeply weird situation!!!!! stannis daemon and whoever the fuck are simply spoiled brats! hope this helps!!!!!#ned stark#getting on my soap box#i mean ‘job’ it’s not a real job he’s a landlord but u get my point skskd

my issue with the hostility towards jonsa is that this series uses sex and incest to engage with fuedalism & power structures constantly from the lannisters (ALL of them not just the twins; tyrion desires cersei & tywin uses sex as a weapon against both cersei AND tyrion) to the targaryens to craster, we in fact have SEEN that behavior in the sansa & serena marriages and the lyarra & rickard marriage. this is a series very preoccupied with how sex and incest is used to enforce and entrench power structures and everyone is always bitching and moaning about how stark stans don’t want to engage with the rot in the stark family but when some of us are like “let’s engage through jonsa” suddenly incest is a big fucking problem and it’s never gonna happen and we’re all just projecting bc we think kit & sophie are hot and have good chemistry and not actually engaging with the themes. okay.

it’s actually kinda racist in general for people to throw hissy fits every time someone decides to draw a character as anything less than lily white regardless of what character you’re doing it about. doesn’t matter if u think it’s problematic to make valyrians asian or northerners indigenous or dornish people as “too dark” or whatever the fuck everyone is complaining about this time, it’s tacky and racist and inappropriate and if u do that shit u are invited to eat my entire ass dick balls and cunt and i’m dead fucking serious.

“should rhaegar have expected this much from his father” Y E S the man hadn’t bathed or cut his nails & hair in years, he absolutely should have realized that suddenly disappearing with the daughter of a lord paramount was going to spark something insane in his father’s brain. he’s been trying to overthrow the man legally for a number of years and he thinks disappearing for months on end will have no affect on aerys, who KNOWS rhaegar has been trying to legally put him aside?? rhaegar is dumb i’m tired of people pretending like he isn’t. you can think well if his intentions without ignoring the fact that he was a fucking dumb ass.
#getting on my soap box#okay i think i have to turn on a new episode this one is not doing anything for me
