Hi, I just found your fanfic "The Blacks & the Greens", recommended by Sunsetking. I'm already at 120+ chapters and the amount is a bit overwhelming, but I'm trying, one thing that bothers me a lot is having to read the point of view of a character I don't like, it's annoying, and I've always struggled with this in G.R.R. Martin, but I'm doing my best to read it.
I'm actually just sending this message bc I want to say that I really admire your courage, and having myself decided not to watch the adaptation for my own reasons, I know how much difficult this can be. GOT pages I've followed for years only post about that, about things I don't want to see, and I unfollowed a lot of them for my peace of mind. I get sad of not being able to enjoy it like everyone else. Other books I really like are being adapted and it breaks my heart that I won't be watching.
For my part I would prefer an adaptation of Aegon IV's reign and see the beautiful Shiera Seastar and Bloodraven together. Anyway, they'd probably find a way to screw that up too.
I'm curious, what other period of the Targaryens' reign would you like to rewrite? I would definitely change a lot of shit in the Conquerors period, my best girl Visenya deserved better, I would also change Robert's post (and pre) rebellion period focusing on Viserys and Daenerys ofc, Sunsetking seduced me to this couple and I've loved them ever since.
I'm honestly more looking forward to adapting Tolkien's book, although this fandom is so... pure, compared to other fandoms like Star Wars that have smut for all tastes. Fëanor/Galadriel reminds me of Rhaenyra/Daemon, but there's no fanfic out there that shows what they could have been. I also like Galadriel/Finarfin even though they are father and daughter simply because I can and because Finarfin is hot. And yet, there is no content there either.
I haven't revised this text and I couldn't put into words all the frustrations I feel with what's going on, but I want to get this out, thx.
Hi there 😊
Can I just say how refreshing it is to meet someone with good taste and convictions not be bedazzled by some shiny dragons on some sh:tty show?
Love you! ❤️❤️❤️
I have said it before I will again this is THE year for terrible “adaptations” 🤦🏽‍♀️ and it is hard to keep sane and keep my love for the source material alive. I have had to do what you did. I lost count of how many accounts I unfollowed for my own sanity and how many tags I had to block and I am beyond TIRED telling YouTube and Instagram to STOP fcking recommending sh:t to me! I am one post away from uninstalling Instagram on my cellphone.
Sorry for the outburst 😔
I honestly struggle to understand how anyone who is a fan of Dany/House Targaryen/Dance period read those spoilers and is still on the bandwagon and promoting that steaming pile of 💩but I guess it’s not my place. I am no one really and it is what it is. As for myself however I will keep far away from anything (fck I know too much already of the travesty about to unfold) and I am at a point that if someone is even using the tag I won’t promote them. Sorry, no. I have a lot of respect for my own intelligence to want to be associated with the terribly written fanfiction about to come out.
I could keep ranting about this 💩 but for the sake of my sanity and time and yours as well I won’t. Needless to say anyone with two braincells who read the books will see it for what it is. Season 8 2.0.
I also struggle to understand in the show verse how anyone would care for Dany’s family, I mean like a certain actor has said they are all crazy 🤡 I will shut up now I promise.
What I would want to see “adapted” you ask? Nothing. After what they had done and continue to do absolutely nothing. I don’t trust mainstream media to handle the asoiaf material well because they don’t. The have not handled it well in the past. They are not handling it well in the present. They won’t do so in the future. That’s that. I actually trust mainstream media with very little and I am glad I reached a point in life where my source of entertainment mainly comes from books. I don’t have any active subscriptions and I don’t even own a tv thank my good judgment for it!
I’m not sad I am not enjoying it the same way I am not sad for finding out Santa wasn’t real.
I may have a somewhat cold approach to life but given the choice no matter how much it hurts I want the truth. Ignorance is bliss that is a fact, but I have long accepted the fact that truth might not be a happy path but it’s the one I will always follow. In this and everything else in life that is my motto.
I want to really thank you for taking the huge amount of time that you did to read my fic but I want you to know that if you aren’t enjoying it you don’t need to keep reading it ❤️ I mean it. Just because we stand together on some things doesn’t mean we have to like the same things and I completely understand my fic isn’t for everyone ❤️ I keep friends with a lot of people who stopped reading my fics so don’t feel like you have to read my sht to talk to me. You don’t and you don’t have to like it!
Btw if your blog is a terrible adaptation free zone feel free to send me a dm so I can follow you! I honestly welcome any place where I can cleanse my palate 😂😂
Thanks for your message I really appreciate knowing there are still people with good sense out there ❤️
