“jaime did it mostly for self preservation” “he did it bc he was ordered to kill his father” are not only blatantly incorrect and borderline illiterate reads of what is in the text but idk why people find it unfathomable that someone like jaime would want to prevent thousands of people from violently burning alive. like it is not actually a difficult moral equation which is why it is at the center of jaime’s arc and his relationship to his society because he realizes that the ethical constructs of westeros seem to be in opposition to this very obvious moral choice as seen by how the situation could even escalate to the point that it does through the enablement of the tyrant by the respected institution of the kingsguard and the uncritical upholding of the honor system over an actual coherent moral code. same with the scorn he receives for killing what everybody acknowledges as an objectively horrid tyrant who harmed innocents and violated law that knights are also sworn to protect and uphold and actually contradict by not acting against.

If i had a penny for every time I saw the most braindead, authoritarian ass kissing, take on Home Education? I'd be so rich
Some of yall looooove to preach anarchism, socialism, general anti capitalist 'takes a village' non-nuclear family social concepts.
But the MOMENT someone mentions that hey isn't state/public school is kind of fucked up and literally designed to keep the poors off the streets and funnled into low income work? Maybe I'll try something else with my kids? Right back to fascist ass kissing.
Like god forbid we allow alternate forms of education. God forbid we allow social protest. God forbid theres an option to take children out of abusive school enviroments without being thrown in prison. God forbid there's alternate options for disabled children that don't force them into 'special classes' if the state thinks they're too disabled or given no accommodations if it thinks they're not disabled enough.
The moment it comes to a kid's autonomy and not being forced into actively harmful environments? Its right back to 'think of the children 😱' conservative bullshit and workhouse apologism. Its not based on facts, because that would show Home Ed kids achieve just as well in the end. Its based on rightwing style emotional politics. Get fucked honestly.
I am not your little victim. I am not a brainwashed religous nut. I am a leftwing socialist BECAUSE i was raised in an anti-authoritarian style of education which focused on my autonomy and interests.

assign your moots with their bias & a trope!! tell us why too 👀
I'll do this for Kris and Lys considering we all got the same ask👀 I'm literally so curious about who you are anon since you must know all 3 of us. (plot twist, either Lys or Kris are behind those and sent themselves the ask as well😂) (on that note, isn't it weird that we can send ourselves asks? Like yeah, I totally enjoy talking to myself pretending to be an anon???? Tumblr what were you thinking😂)
anyway let's get into it *cracks knuckles*
@http-peachie -> childhood friends to lovers with either Jinsik or Changmin. Listen, both of them would fit this trope so well and the trope itself is really Kris-coded imo. I can't really give a coherent explanation for it, just that something about Kris as a person gives me nostalgic vibes which fits my impression of the childhood friends to lovers trope... smth about it just feels nostalgic. Like I said, idk if that makes sense, it's mostly ✨️vibes✨️ I guess. Alternatively, I'd like to give them hurt/comfort with Seeun (kinda forcing this bias on Kris rn) in which Seeun takes care of and comforts Kris. I just feel like this would be perfect. <3 Third, just for the sake of being evil (as I am iykyk) I'd like to throw in a love triangle with Anton and Jungwon. They are going to either 1) fight to the death and the winner gets Kris (plot twist, I k!ll them both and take Kris🥰😇) or 2) they finally make up (their fight over Kris has been going on for a while yk), become friends and Kris gets both of them🥰🥰🥰
@solovolpe -> e2l with Minjae (I'm just gonna force him on Lys as her new bias now. I don't take criticism for this, tyvm). iykyk but if you don't know Lys, just trust me on this one, it fits, it fits soooo well. Lys was simply made for e2l fics and it's such a fitting trope that I would literally d!e to be able to watch this play out in real life like a movie. It would be dramatic, comedic, and you'd go on a rollercoaster of emotions, probably cry throughout 40% of it but it's all worth it in the end, since they FINALLY fall in love and accept it and live happily ever after. Alternatively, Dorks in Love with Sunwoo because he's one (affectionate)(I didn't want to publicly call him a loser (affectionate) so dork it is) and ✨️vibes✨️ and just to be evil yet again, I'd like to give a third option: snowed in (aka locked in) with Intak (another bias I'm forcing upon her) and they'll be trapped in there until they either 1) fall in love (again, take a chance, baby, let's take a chance🎶) 2) k!ll each other, I guess. We'll see :D
