I think if Arya had a gun we would have wrapped this all up (not necessarily for the better) in book one (and it would be funny)
the purple wedding would have never happened bc she’d have shot joffrey during the first conflict with the butcher’s boy
Just because helaena and her kids were the only innocent in tg doesn't mean she was the ONLY innocent, what about luke, jace, joffrey, baela, rhaena??
helaena is only an innocent bc she did absolutely nothing whatsoever but jace, baela etc. actually did things lmao
Daemon this- Daemon that-
TG here's a challenge for you, name one thing Rhaenyra did that affected MANY ppl?
where the fuck did people get the idea that aegon2 and sunfyre have ‘the strongest dragonrider bond’
this- this is not a thing. it is not in fire&blood. it’s pretty explicitly just something states by the most pro-green F&b source to try and lend more legitimacy and mysticism to aegon2 as a ruler and a targaryen
like, ok, Sunfyre came to Dragonstone ‘sensing Aegon2’s need’. … Or, a deeply injured dragon just wanted to go home, to where he hatched, to where dragons thrive best, to try and heal. And even if it WAS that… We see that with multiple dragonriders and dragon bonds. We see it with Dany and Drogon- it’s heavily implied with just about everything about Daemon and Caraxes, and none of the sources were ever there to report on Rhaenyra and Syrax’s bond- but it’s not insignificant that Rhaenyra was the youngest dragonrider to known history.
Like, sorry not sorry, but no. Aegon2 does not have the strongest bond. Please reread F&B - because as soon as he’s done crying about the death of the dragon who died due to HIS choices, Aegon states “I shall have a new Sunfyre, prouder and fiercer than the last.” with his intent to hatch an egg. That dragon was a tool to him more than anything else. And that’s… deeply sad. Sunfyre deserved so much better than that.
For all that Rhaenyra intended to hatch eggs, she never is reported to start she’d have a ‘new’ or ‘better’ Syrax.
Happy new year, friends! -Or it should be, but currently we are about to enter the second year Palestine has been occupied and torn apart by the Israel army.
Ahmed is the father of two children, a 3 year old and a 1 year old, the former having been born just days after Israel began the war.
Currently Ahmed and his family are living in a torn tent, facing freezing cold weather and rain, while trying to keep their children warm. Their goal right now is to rebuild their house which was destroyed at the beginning of the war, which will cost about $40k to cover all the expenses.
Please help Ahmed's children by giving them a safe place to live and thrive. Any donation, no matter how small, will help them towards rebuilding their lives and saving their children.

“so lucerys / jaehaerys / rhaenys died for nothing?”
that’s the point that’s the point that’s the entire fucking point - in the book as well!! there was never any POINT!! there is never going to be a winner here!!
rhaenyra will die, aegon will die, alicent and daemon and jace and aemond and helaena will die. for nothing. because the end of this will be a broken, traumatised, dead-inside eleven year old aegon iii on the iron throne with an eight year old jaehaera for a wife who commits suicide at the age of ten, two years after being forced to marry the broken king.
the dance of the dragons is a dragon eating its own tail. it’s all for nothing and no one wins.
aegon and Daenaera enjoying Their time in the godwoods near red keep
Again happy new year and aegonaera day

nobody wants to write 6-8k heartwrenching introspective one shots that rehash the events of canon but insert romantic moments between characters that make the inevitable conclusions of canon even more painful anymore.... all they know is abo, modern au and lie
"courtesy is a lady's armor" is what sansa repeats to herself in king's landing while she's being held hostage and is at the mercy of people who seek to use her as a political pawn for their own gains (the lannisters and the tyrells). it is not meant to be aspirational, it's a coping mechanism which she uses to make herself small and invisible to survive the mental and physical torment being heaped on her by a society which only recognises her value in the form of her reproductive capabilities and expects her to remain a docile object, not an active participant in her own life. and internalising such an ideal begins her loss of identity arc. presently she's sequestered in the vale, forced to leave behind her name and her home, to forget who she is. because that's what it does to you, hollowing yourself out to meet the expectations of feudal patriarchy until your will is broken. catelyn experiences it in a literal sense with stoneheart serving as a metaphor for this process. and obviously what is happening to sansa is not her fault, neither her nor catelyn are being criticised by the text for performing feminity, it's a criticism of the exploitation of young girls by westerosi society, something that is enforced and achieved and passed down through those songs about dutiful ladies awaiting gallant knights in their towers. the key here being that the version of heroism preached in those songs (able bodied, all men, all handsome - a definition which excludes bran, tyrion, sandor, brienne) and the role of women as passive agents is what's being questioned, not the notion of performing goodness in a broken world. sansa is right to be a dreamer, to be kind—that's what makes her a hero. but her arc is also about unlearning those harmful foundational myths of westerosi society.
Probably off somewhere misusing free willFree palestine 🇵🇸🇵🇸
