On A Lighter Note - Tumblr Posts
Yeah so Remember when Ryan Condal said Aegon and Sunfyre's bond was "Green propaganda" and everyone got understandably mad at him??
Take a look at what he said regarding b&c:

Bro...what the actual fuck did you just say?
Apparently blood and cheese was all green propaganda that Alicent spread to make saint Rhaenyra look bad. It was all a misunderstanding, there was no choice between Jaehaerys and Maelor, it was all made up.
Alicent just invented the most evil lie she could muster up to villainize the amazing blacks. What was shown onscreen is the real representation of what transpired.
Jesus Christ Condal i get that you hate book! Alicent (and Alicent in general) for some reason but can you stop blaming that poor woman, who had to watch her grandchild get beheaded, and not say she was lying out of her ass? Is that so hard?
"You were supposed to be rooting for blood and cheese and hope they didn't get caught!"
For the love of the Seven, if you don't want all the money you spent marketing this show to go down the drain Hbo please keep this man away from any interviews, I can't listen to him anymore without wanting to turn my phone off.
I genuinely can't fault many greens for deciding to stop watching because of this bs.
It's so embarrassing that a writer who is supposed to portray a civil war and keep both sides on equal ground pulls this type of shit. For me the next episode is coming out tomorrow and honestly I have no motivation to watch, absolutely no excitement.
I tried to deny it in the past, but now the writer's bias has become so blatant that my love for the show has taken a hit. Hotd truly is a high budget team black fanfic.
And here I thought without D&D in the picture we would be fine.
In light of today's match...
What a match! Definitely an emotional rollercoaster for Carlitos, Nole and all of us that watched it. This is long, so scroll along if you don't have the patience.
Having grown up watching Roger, Rafa and Novak dominate the tennis scene, it has been refreshing to watch Carlos Alcaraz climb the ladder so fast! This man has captivated most of us, if not all, and each of his matches have brought me the same joy I felt when I first watched him play.
Brilliantly defending his Wimbledon title and playing in the Olympics just less than 15 days after, I cannot imagine the physical effort required to play back to back doubles and singles matches, even for a professional athlete. But he has been at the top of his game.
Today is Novak's moment, no doubt. What he has done for his country and achieved for it today is truly commendable. His celebration was all it took for me to break down as well and realise that this has been the one thing he has wanted for so long.
But, what Carlos has achieved is something most would only dream of; a silver medalist in his first Olympics. Not only is he an amazing player but also a good person. His sportsmanship shone through today, when he let Nole have that first serve again and when, despite all the pressure and frustration, he did not allow himself to lose control and get aggressive.
Not much older than I, he showed such maturity. My respect, admiration and love for this man have increased tenfold today. Seeing him have tears in his eyes, brought tears to mine and this is definitely not the outcome us Carlos fans hoped for.
It has been quite a week, what with Andy Murray retiring and Carlos missing out on the gold. But we know there's more to come.
On the off chance that Carlos does somehow stumble upon tennisblr and comes across this post -
Carlitos, estamos todos muy orgullosos de ti. Siempre habrá una próxima oportunidad y sabemos que volverás más fuerte. Te mando mucho amor.
