Read Fanfic Once That Had A Tag Saying Daemon And Rhaenyra Are Worse At Politics Than Ned Stark. Thoughts?

read fanfic once that had a tag saying daemon and rhaenyra are worse at politics than ned stark. thoughts?

well rhaenyra went to the stannis baratheon school of “i don’t have to engage in politics because The Rules said i’m going to be the king so everyone will just listen” and daemon went to the robert baratheon school of “politics is when i do whatever i want because of my monopoly on violence.” if ned’s like anyone he’s like viserys where making political decisions makes him sad so he just. doesnt

Can I speak my truth. I don’t think Brienne is even a little gay. I think she’s a kinsey zero who false positives on everyone’s radar. I think if you dropped brienne into new age 2024 she would get treated as a lesbian in her day to day life but whenever a woman liked her she’d be like. Ummmmmmm I’m really sorry but I don’t. Feel like that. I think she’d give lesbianism the good old college try bc of the direness of her male love life and come down firmly on the side of not attracted to women. I think she is quintessential pnw woman who you think is a slam dunk homerun lesbian based on everything about her who drops the word husband on you. I think she gets clocked on sight and mentions a partner named Jaime which makes people go. Okay. Partner i know that game. Jamie easily the name of a lesbian. Easily. And then she drops the he pronouns and you go. Well. Could still be a weird lesbian. And then Jaime is a business major in a frat with generational wealth. And HE is the kinsey five in the relationship.

Also might I add that 'not eating pomegranates' reads to me like the polar opposite of subtle, really it's george hitting us on the face with symbolism. It's symbolism 101, it's a reference to Greek mythology, which is not called "classic" for no reason, it's the stuff the western canon is made of, quite literally. Sansa refuses an offer from the lord of the underworld, she is not trapped forever. Great news! The horse bit is more complicated than that though

love that 70% of the time grrm’s symbolism is really subtle like oh sansa’s refused to eat the pomegranate littlefinger offered and if you weren’t paying attention you’d miss it, and 30% is just jaime has an evil lannister horse and a good kingsguard horse what could this mean

The real tragedy of hotd is the missed opportunity for corlys and otto to be besties.

You can't convince me that otto "I know what you are/the queen has not forgotten the love you once had for one another" hightower and corlys "I hope my son turns straight/I guess I'll just adopt these white grandchildren" velaryon wouldn't be friends, had their political interests aligned.
