Its Literally So Sad That So Many People In This World Dont Understand That Riverdale Is The Show Of

╭──────♡──────╮ ╰──────♡──────╯

One day we need to have a legitimate discussion on how Jace and Luke weren’t even bullies and how Aegon was Aemonds biggest torturer. And that day is today.

- Alicent herself knew this was true. “You may cuff him about as you wish at home, but in the world we must defend our own” she says after trying to frame Jace and Luke as “savages.”

-Alicent refers to Jace and Luke as Aegons “playthings” in the same scene. What kind of power dynamic do you really think was at play here? Aegon clearly liked to toy with his vastly younger nephews and influenced them.

- Mind you, Jace and Luke were 5-7 years old and NOT aware of the feud that ran in their frayed family. They lack the awareness of characters like Aemond and Aegon who are repeatedly reminded by Alicent that Rhaenyra’s family is a THREAT and that they are bastards who are beneath them in station.

-In contrast, there is not a single scene of Rhaenyra speaking about Aegon, Aemond, or Helaena in derogatory ways to her children. Even in the books, it’s evident that the feud between the children is entirely one-sided with the Greens growing up and *learning* to resent Jace, Luke, and Joff.

-the teasing in and of itself was so mild. What makes Aemond upset is that he doesn’t view Jace and Luke as his equals.

-to Jace and Luke, this was normal teasing. From Aemonds perspective, he’s being emasculated by younger boys who he views as sub-human and unworthy despite having dragons of their own because he’s been TOLD and ASSURED that they’re bastards.

- THIS IS WHY THE TEASING ACTUALLY SETS HIM OFF, NOT THE SEVERITY. Need we be reminded how strongly Aemond feels about “blood purity”? In a show about the Targaryen dynasty, he’s the only character to mention it.

Bonus:

- Aegon hating and wanting to tease Aemond is so on brand for them as characters. Aemond is a momas boy and Aegon is the disappointment. The allure to make his life hell is there.

Hi my name is Lord Brynden Blo'odraven Crow Rivers and I have a stark raven-shaped birthmark (that's how i got my nickname) that is wine red and covers half my face and blood red eyes like fresh blood and a lot of people tell me i look like Visenya Targaryen (AN: if u don’t know who she is get da hell out of here!). I’m related to Shiera Seastar and I'm glad because she’s a major fucking hottie. I’m a greenseer but my eyes are red. I have pale white skin. I’m also a sorcerer, and I live in a cursed castle called the Red Keep in Westeros where I'm the master of whisperers ( I'm 34). I love the Alchemist's Guild and I buy all my wildfire from them. Today i wore a black doublet with matching velvet around it and a black leather breeches, pink half-cape and black boots. I was wearing pale pink lipstick, no foundation, black eyeliner and red eye shadow. I was walking outside Maegor's Holdfast. It was raining and snowing so there was no sun, which I was very happy about. A lot of Blackfyres stared at me. I put up my middle finger at them.

love is the most twisted curse of all

Baby you’re not good for me,

But baby I want you, I want you…

it's much easier to stan (read: use as a self interest) a character with no apparent personality traits or flaws

The fact that Elia Martell has more stans than Oberyn or Arianne Martell, who both are characters who appear on the book series and actually have a personality will never stop being funny to me.
