TO BE CLEAR - Tumblr Posts
i think calling it a taste 'palate' was one of the best namings ever
like, "here is my palate of foods you may paint with to please me, sir chef"
it's such an aptly named word
i think the funniest part about being bored is that it'll ether result in something like, say, reading a book, or drawing some cute flowers, but on the flip side, it can lead to things such as drilling two holes in your guitar with a screwdriver,,, or attempting to put a box of cake mix in the windowsill 20 feet in the air
yesterday i actually didn’t feel like shit for the first time in like two months, and i got so much done, and it was great, i was like “is this a turning point? am i perchance on a path to health again?”
it was in fact not a turning point

Stansas who are TG will never make sense to me. I've already made a post about this, but it's so baffling I'm going to make a longer one. Please keep in mind, I don't believe in the whole QitN thing, for Sansa at least, and definitely don't believe any other things stansas spew out.
Stansas argue that Winterfell and the North are rightfully Sansa's. After all, she is the oldest legitimate child of Ned Stark (their arguments not mine lol). It doesn't matter that she's married to a Lannister or hasn't spent any time training in ruling.
Now, who else is the eldest legitimate child of a ruler? Rhaenyra. She also has an even more solid claim than Sansa. She's been named by the previous ruler, she's been trained to rule, and has no bastard older siblings who could have been legitimized over her.
Rhaenyra's reign would have set a precedent for female inheritance, something Sansa could benefit from (theoretically). TG fought for male primogeniture, meaning that in the situation of the Starks, Bran is the rightful heir in their eyes.
So no, if TG had their way, Sansa would never inherit anything. Aemond would never consider marrying her, neither would Aegon or Daeron, any of Alicent's elitist brood (because there's lots of people who ship them for some godforsaken reason). She raised her sons to believe they were superior to others, so they would have no interest in a woman who has little political value.
Finally, I doubt Sansa herself would be very interested in the green party. First off, her house allied with Rhaenyra and her sons, and remained their most stalwart supporters, even more than the Velaryons. Second, Alicent would probably remind her of Cersei, but worse, since at least Cersei is at least a bit politically savvy. And finally, show Sansa wouldn't like either team, since she's solidly against the Targaryens (for no good reason might I say), she'd want them all to kill each other, just like she was hoping Daenerys and Jon would.
In conclusion, stansas who support TG are stupid. Those who do just show that their reasons for their stances are rooted in misogyny and hypocrisy.

It's funny when these people pretend to like book! Rhaenyra, and when they explain why they like her, they basically describe her in the same way that people who hate her do.
También es irónico cómo estas personas se llaman a sí mismas "equipo de mujeres malvadas" y luego lloran y vilipendian a Rhaenyra porque no quería estar en una fiesta de cumpleaños donde le iban a faltar el respeto, y luego dicen que estaba siendo mala con un niño, del que ni siquiera ha hecho una broma inofensiva. ¿Se supone que debo creer que te gustan personajes como Cersei cuando ni siquiera soportas a un adolescente con razones justificables para estar enojado?
Yeah I've got manyyyy issues with people like op. Like you said, the way they describe Rhaenyra is...telling. As is how they describe Alicent.
First of all: op claims that Alicent tried to "mend the relationship" between Rhaenyra and Aegon. That's just false. Alicent proposed Viserys marry Aegon to Rhaenyra, in an attempt to get Aegon closer to the throne. Which is partially why Viserys refused to approve the match.
Op is engaging in a lot of speculation, like the claim that "Daemon manipulated Rhaenyra" into hating her siblings. There's literally no evidence that Rhaenyra hates her siblings prior to Luke's murder. Is she close to them? Not her brothers, no, but she did have some kind of relationship with Helaena, as is implied by her calling her "my sweet sister, Helaena."
I'm not going to go into how op sees Daemon, but I will say, how they view him and Rhaenyra is basically just how Hess does. Rhaenyra isn't allowed to form her own opinions on her family, negative or otherwise, and Daemon is an evil monster.
I will agree with op that Rhaenyra isn't a good person, however, that's the only time. The things op accuses Rhaenyra of are...really not true other than the fact that she fed Vaemond to Syrax.
They accuse her of "offering her brothers for Laenor...she hosted a lavish feast in a starving city, she was a woman and let the men do the fighting."
Let's unpack that. The quote op is referring to concerning Laenor is:
"My half-brothers would be more to his taste," [Rhaenyra] told the king.
Fire & Blood: Heirs of the Dragon - A Question of Succession
This is taken out of context in the worst possible way by op. Rhaenyra is arguing with her father about marrying Laenor, trying to convince him not to force her to marry him. She's referencing the fact that Laenor is gay, she's in no way "offering" her brothers to him. This is an intentional choice to interpret Rhaenyra's choices as they're written in the worst possible light.
Op continues this with a very tired argument many Rhaenyra antis use: that Rhaenyra feasted in KL. The only evidence of this happening is from Septon Eustace. A man who wasn't even in KL, was noted by the writers of F&B to be unreliable due to his hatred of Rhaenyra, and who literally crowned Aegon. So, using critical thinking, we can infere that the idea that Rhaenyra feasted in KL is extremely unlikely.
As for the fighting, yes Rhaenyra didn't fight. That was due to the fact that she had no training and was recovering from a traumatic miscarriage. Normally I wouldn't point this out as an issue, but op groups it in with Rhaenyra's "flaws". Somehow, Rhaenyra not fighting in battles is a mark against her as a person. Again, intentionally a bad faith interpretation.
No, I agree with op that HOTD's changes to Rhaenyra are shitty, but the reasons are just very off. For example:
I agree with parts of this, but I do want to point out a few things. Such as, why are they calling out Arya fans? Like what does that have to do with anything? I'm sure it's because Arya is a non-conforming woman, which op isn't a fan of, considering their seeming obsession with femininity. It shows how op's personal biases are influencing their view of both the show and the book.
I'm right there with you anon on the their spiel about Aegon's birthday. Rhaenyra was being disrespected and undermined by everyone after the birth of her brother. Is it any wonder that she wasn't excited to go to an event where everyone was expecting her to be disinherited? Op literally was just saying how they loved Rhaenyra "hating" her siblings lmao.
Op also complains about the white hart incident, as well as Aegon's prophecy. This is very much a revealing complaint. They said they hate Rhaenyra being made into the "protagonist" of the show. This is interesting since Rhaenyra is the protagonist of the Dance in the book too. She's morally gray, but it's still a fact; the greens are the antagonists and the blacks are the protagonists. The white hart was confirmation of Rhaenyra being the true heir, something which is also true in the book. I don't understand how that fact being affirmed is wrong.
As for Aegon's prophecy, this is something almost every single Rhaenyra anti has complained about. This is something GRRM himself told the showrunners he wanted, which some people complain is a retcon. It's not, the books aren't done yet, this is GRRM giving us new information about his unfinished work. It also confirmed how off the rails D&D's ending is according to what GRRM has planned for the books.
Anyway, op also really hates daemyra, another thing that's very much book accurate. Op purposefully chooses to ignore any textual evidence that daemyra was more than a political alliance, but they have a history of picking and choosing canon.
I very much agree with you anon about how shallow op's love of Cersei seems to be. They strike me as the kind of person who refuses to see the grayness GRRM is known for. After all, they are frothing at the mouth at the idea of Rhaenyra being a complex character, so I somehow doubt that they can appreciate Cersei's complexity.

please stop using percentile wrong. please I please please. the 50th percentile is NOT THAT GOOD
Fucked up kink thought/turn-on of the day: the idea of giving my amazing online domme my address and sending her a spare key, not because she’d actually do anything, but because knowing that she could would be… umm… fuck… 😳🫠🥵💀
i mean, its not like the actors will actually see the fics, right? those are just for fun. but pretty much everyone i know lost or had a family member/friend injured in the tsunami. its just kinda weird to start the series off with a tsunami when the disaster happened only a couple years ago :/
everyone reblog with fake discourse for new firefighter series Hotshots, i’ll start:
It’s fine if you ship their characters, but the actresses Kim and Felisa are real people and we shouldn’t be writing fic about them!
