Bethany And Steve Talking About How Their Scenes And Lines Were Cut Out And They Had To Quite Literally

bethany and steve talking about how their scenes and lines were cut out and they had to quite literally beg and advocate for their inclusion in the show. nevermind the treatment rhaena is getting in the show that just… is insanely off track from the treatment she got in the books. characters with little to no relevance are given screentime and have scenes that should have gone to other characters, actors experiencing racism and hate from the gp, and poc characters either being scrapped or reduced to a fanfiction version of the writers fantasy. mind you, baela and corlys are in my top five favs on the show, and here i am being told that despite their importance in the narrative (especially baela’s) they are either reduced to the background, sidelined or cut out completely? but they have enough time to film olivia cooke taking a fucking bath every episode? phoebe even mentions they’d get disappointed looking at the script knowing they wouldn’t have any lines. not to mention, other canon poc characters like nettles go erased and merged into other black characters, and it’s STILL not done with a manner of intention and care. it feels intentional to have these characters be played by black actors and then do this to them. fucking KYS ryan and sara

Could they just stop?

Jfc the way TG actors service the fans is so gross. Aegon/Helaena/Aemond are not a throuple. Helae*ond is not canon. Hela*gon's marriage is abusive. Peak cringey ass fan service

What i thought we'd get with alicent being Rhaenyra's age and "friend"":

An ambitious young woman who befriended the princess to be in the upper echelons of society and close to the crown/crown princess in order to manipulate her/be closer to viserys in order to manipulate his feelings before/after aemma in order to become queen and work hard and use the secrets/insecurities she discovered as the princess' best friend/lady in waiting against rhaenyra in order to have her son crowned king one day

What we got: a bland, boring 2D character with no agency or goals or ambitions who hides the fact her son his a rapist, who insists she's the victim of the story and chalks everything up to an unfortunate accident cause she's never done anything wrong ever and only ever been used by everyone in her life 🙄 (this is sarcasm i loathe show alicent more than any other asoiaf character)

Aegon IVs top 10 most iconic moments:

10. Naming those hills “Barba’s Teets” and then renaming them “Missy’s Teets” when Barba insults Missy’s breast size.

9. Trying to invade Dorne only to not even make it to shore because his whole fleet was wrecked by a storm.

7. Showing up at Whitewalls, impregnating Lord Butterwell’s 3 daughters, and giving him a dragons egg as a reward.

6. Gifting Blackfyre to his bastard son Daemon.

5. Killing his father, Viserys II, thereby robbing the realm of potentially the best king it may have ever seen.

4. Creating Bloodraven.

3. Helping Daena escape the Maidens’ Vault and impregnating her, thereby both creating Daemon Blackfyre and also indirectly causing Baelor the Blessed to kill himself.

2. Spreading rumors that Daeron is his brother’s bastard just to undermine his own heir purely out of spite.

1. Legitimizing all his bastards on his death bed so he can keep being everyone’s problem for another 80 years.
