idk man, just take a peak at the hotd subreddit and you’ll having hater fuel for DAYS!!! 😭😭

i actually did just block someone because it was like "the show RUINED rhaenyra" and "the show RUINED the hull boys" like.................what are you talking about alksdjflksd i have honestly become such a hater of any and all "well BOOK RHAENYRA" sorry but i don't think we have enough characterization for anyone in the dance to say that the show is completely out of character. there are some adaptational choices i think were stupid and made out of laziness but like, what even is the difference between book and show rhaenyra? it doesn't fucking exist. and not only that, but every time someone is like "she should be decked out in JEWELS" is she not constantly wearing dresses and jewelry? how is her costumes in the show not femme enough??

which is why i'm very much "i think people want book rhaenyra bc they want a rhaenyra that is cis" when it comes to this. i'm like two seconds away from blocking the phrase "book rhaenyra" because i think the whole thing is so annoying. "oh well if she's driven by prophecy, they haven't foreshadowed that enough" are you guys stupid? I'm genuinely asking. i don't think it needs to have been clobbered over the head throughout season one that part of rhaenyra's devotion to her claim is because of her father's faith in her to share the prophecy for it to have clearly impacted her. why would she bring it up before viserys is dying? it's supposed to be secret. and then it's like. i'm sorry, once again, these people are just stupid, they want rhaenyra to turn to the camera and go "my quest for the throne is more about my relationship with my father than anything else. i am now going to backslide morally and let this fanatacism towards godhood and religion get the best of me, because of my grief over my complicated relationship with my father and with my own heirs." well no! that's bad writing! it is clearly implied just as alicent's religious bent is because of her trauma as well. but people see like, non christian coded religious fervor and go "that doesn't make sense" bud idk how to tell you this but every single religion - EVERY SINGLE RELIGION - has fanatics that use it as a front to do crime. if you can't tell that's what she's doing, it's because you're stupid.

and what's more. addam is a very easy character to like. addam literally has "loyal" written on his gravestone. they focused on alyn because a) he lives and b) he's a lot harder of a character to like what with him being a shit fuck of a husband and a creep towards elaena, so they want us to be invested in him as the heir to driftmark. addam's motivations are clearly still centered around corlys, and him referring to rhaenyra and the dragons as gods isn't at all out of character, nor is alyn yelling at his father for being a deadbeat.

but also NO MORE FUCKING FIRE AND BLOOD. IM TRYING TO BITCH ABOUT THE B O O KS.
