I've Always Been Very Insecure So I Really Hated Shopping, The More Weight I Gained The More I Hated

I've always been very insecure so I really hated shopping, the more weight I gained the more I hated it

Just last summer I went shopping with my sister and cried in the fitting room because I couldn't find my size and I didn't like how certain things looked on me, I only got 2 things because I really needed them

But today I went shopping and had lots of fun, and I also got a lot of things and I didn't cry when something didn't fit me

I'm fatter than I was last year, so this is such a big accomplishment for me

Proof that you don't need to lose weight to be happy with your body ✌🏻

And I wish those who romanticize anorexia and eating disorders understood this

I can't believe there's people comparing HotD season 2 to GoT season 8

I'm not saying HotD is good, quite the opposite, really

GoT was a good show that went to shit in the last seasons

HotD was bad from the beginning

having an older sister is so crazy because i adore you but you’re so mean to me it makes me cry. i want to be just like you but i hate being compared to you. i want to tell you everything about me but i’m so scared you’ll judge me. everything is fine and then we argue and suddenly i’m five and you’re refusing to play dolls with me. i love you more than anyone in the world but i hate you so much. you are the only reason i have any confidence. you ruined my self esteem. i can’t feel pretty unless you compliment me. i wish i was as pretty as you. you are the easiest person to love. i still cry over what you said three years ago. you are half of my soul. all i want is for you to see me. i want you to think i’m as cool as you. you understand me without words. you don’t get me. i wish we were friends. i’d rather die than fight with you. we fight every day. i wish you loved me as much as i love you. nobody will ever love me like you do. you make me hate myself sometimes. i decided to play soccer because you played it too. i would follow you anywhere. you’re the first person i ever tell anything. i wish you would confide in me. you make me feel so lonely. i listen to that song you showed me every day. you make me so angry it makes me punch a wall. when you hug me i cry because i love you so much. i have never hated anyone like i hate you. i would die for you. i don’t think i’d survive without you. please love me as much as i love you

One thing I find really ironic is the amount of people in the fandom who pride themselves on being "morally superior" for judging the characters actions with a modern mindset but then... Hate on the Velaryon kids for being bastards as if being born out of wedlock is just as bad as killing or raping people

And I'm yet to see someone who criticizes Jacaerys or Lucerys without including "is a bastard" in some way

The writers deliberately setting up Rhaenyra as a religious, cult-like figure willing to sacrifice all the dragonseeds was disgusting, not just for the way they are paralleling her to S8 Daenerys, but also because they are deliberately justifying the violence and betrayal Rhaenyra faces before she dies.

In Fire & Blood, the dragonseeds are completely willing participants. The dragons had their own caves, and every dragonseed would have to find the dragon on their own, decide if they wanted to actually try anything, and could easily have left if they lost their courage. Every moment was willing.

So when the book introduces the families of the dragonseeds when Aegon takes Dragonstone - those who had lost someone to the dragons - it’s introduced with the expectation for the reader to understand that the families were unjustly taking out their anger and misogyny on Rhaenyra. She was not at fault for anyone’s actions, yet they turned against her all the same the moment Aegon showed up. They kept him hidden, they helped him take the castle, they took Rhaenyra straight to her death, all because they were bitter. Slights “real or imagined.”

“Even in Dragonstone, long Queen Rhaenyra’s seat and stronghold, they found many who misliked the queen for both reasons good and ill. Some grieved for brothers, sons, and fathers slain during the Sowing or during the Battle of the Gullet, some hoped for plunder or advancement, whilst others believed a son must come before a daughter, giving Aegon a better claim.” - F&B 542

Rhaenyra did nothing. She was betrayed anyway.

Now in House of the Dragon, when that scene will be set up, the anger and misogyny WILL be justified. The whole section is supposed to be about unjustified violence towards women (and their supporters), and it will all now be erased. Rhaenyra will not even die simply because she made a mistake of going to Dragonstone. No, she will bring her own death upon herself for her actions. She will deserve her fate.

Here, Rhaenyra did something. The betrayal is justified. The story is ruined, and HotD will get away with the idea that they gave an amazing feminist retelling, when in truth they erased every bit of it.
