Oh Don't Mind Me. I Am Once Again Upset And Flabbergasted By The Favoritism Toward Greens In Screen Time

bloodraven the type of guy to disappear after a bus passes when you see him on the other side of the street

Evidence that the Greens intended to kill Rhaenyra’s children if Aegon became king:

1. Already murdered one child.

2. Called the murder of said child “a good start” and threw a feast to celebrate.

Evidence that the Blacks intended to kill Alicent’s children if Rhaenyra became Queen:

1. It’s a convenient hypothetical to excuse the Greens usurping the throne.

2. ???

When will the fandom stop acting like Aegon is a little kid?

Did he wanted to become King? Not really, at least not before he was crowned. Yet, he accepted to be crowned and thus he also usurped his sister. He's partly responsible for the civil war that tears Westeros apart. He's not its biggest victim as some of his stans claim. Passively accepting to be crowned and remaining inactive when he could have handed his sister the crown and thus avoiding the war and the slaughter of innocents IS a choice of his.

no hbo, i dont want rhaenyra to be a girlboss, her story is tragic and uncomfortable, stop making her gallivant around kings landing with her abuser. Stop making her have to be practically held back from hopping on syrax and flying to war. She should NOT be able to fight on syrax, her son is dead, her daughter is dead, her body should not be recovered from her miscarriage yet. She was physically and emotionally unable to fight because of what was done to her.

but sure, whatever way hbo is writing her is super feminist right?

this has been sitting in my notes for a while

He [Ned] had never paid much attention to the names the children had picked, but looking at her now, he knew that Sansa had chosen well. She was the smallest of the litter, the prettiest, the most gentle and trusting. She looked at him with bright golden eyes, and he ruffled her thick grey fur.

-A Game of Thrones by George R. R. Martin.

Inspired by the painting Meekness by Eustache Le Sueur, 1650.

alicents green dress moment was nothing short of pick me vibes. She ruined another women's wedding by coming late and trying to outshine her. She'd be mocked in reality if this was a real event.

Realistically this scene should indicate to everyone that alicent wasn't fit to be Queen. She comes in late, wears war colours and the dress itself is revealing so goes against her faith (the faith of the seven). She made herself look like a bad Queen consort in front of everyone important. Yet the narrative is painting her as badass and stuff. It was cringe and definitely not badass. She was not fit to be Queen and team green are definitely just blind if they think she is

Because the whole point of this scene was for Alicent to be the most important and such a "badass". After all, TG are so excited that everyone stood up in amazement at the sight of her, but not when Daemon entered! As if standing up for the queen's entrance was not required…

For me, Alicent's entire behavior at the wedding was completely cringe and I will never change my mind, because she showed a complete lack of any respect not only for the crown, but also for the Velaryon family, because they were the guests of honor. Alicent was a completely adult woman (both by Westeros standards and by modern ones), and she behaved like an offended child, because her former friend did not tell her the truth about her sexual life… as if Alicent's father had not sent spies after Rhaenyra, did not want to ruin her and there was no risk that Alicent would immediately run to him with the news. And you know "she didn't confide in me about the sex" = "this is war!!!!", because it's obvious that this will mean that Rhaenyra will want to murder her and her children in the future, and nothing will help protect your own life better than making a potential executioner your worst enemy. Alicent has a brain.

In some universe Dany, Brienne, Sansa, Arianne, Elia, Rhaenys and Arya are sharing confidences and spitting about gross men, I'm sure.

Sad Little King

I'm tired of people saying that the Greens started the war for their own survival, all while insisting that they are talking about HOTD and not Fire and Blood, except that even in HOTD it is simply a matter of acidity of power and misogyny. Literally, Otto says it in episode 3. Gotta stop the bullshit after a while. And daring to say that Rhaenyra taking the throne doesn't help women in general in Westeros, when... well it does. That’s the point of a fucking precedent. Stop trying to twist everything to fit your bullshit logic. I'm tired of coming across arguments from Green stans.

wanna play with his hair while he info dumps nerdy stuff to me <3
