Because season 8 is canon, I know its a popular idea to yell and scream that "no its not canon!!" But it is, in show canon Dany burned like half million people alive
they definitely should have treated rhaenyra losing her baby when she learns abt her dad's death and luke's death in different episodes. they completely erased the fact that alicent lets viserys' body rot for days, they rushed it all up just to be able to reach luke's death
back in my days the CW would renew our shows even if only 2 people were watching them, we would get like 23 episodes, budget was a joke, but we were fed all year long and properly
saying that as if melissa barrera, one of the first actors who REALLY spoke out about palestine last year, hadn't immediately gotten fired. i get the sentiment of this tweet but censorship is still very much real and people are still risking their careers.
Need to shove this in everyone faces, being loud and publicly against the genocide of Palestinians has no negative effect on your shows and movies success chances.
grrm officially hating hotd and trashing that show feels so freeing to me like finally we have the ultimate argument against those fans. he hates u!! cope!! u are not canon!! bye
and i don't want to hear any excuse or anything bc the night king was pretty much just makeup omg where did the budget go on hotd?? at some point you won't be able to wave covid or the strike as excuses anymore, it's ridiculous. that's not prestige tv for sure.
hbo feeding off the ashes of daenerys (the legacy of her house) by pushing more content about targaryens after having killed her off in the most grotesque way is a JOKE
not surprised white writers think neutrality is preferable over taking a side, not surprised white ppl believe retaliation/violent rebellion against one's abuser/oppressor is "just as violent," not surprised men think domestic violence makes for a proper "morally grey" character
the whole idea that the dance is happening TO these women instead of happening because of their own actions, taking away their agency... this isn't the feminist take they think it is.
hope they never ever adapt the conquest bc i wouldn't be able to handle locals talking about visenya, rhaenys or aegon but especially visenya rn i feel like they would make her out to be a villain girlboss like i-
the fact that he cares (just like us) makes me so sad, i truly wish he wouldn't care because i can't imagine seeing your own work getting butchered on tv for general audience
if you want asoiaf to be realistic sooooo bad i suggest you simply read something else bc fantasy is clearly not for you and recognizing that would certainly be growth for you (and peace for us)
visenya and rhaenys definitely had their own little jokes about aegon, rhaenys would laugh and visenya would smile and after rhaenys died she never smiled again
nothing ruins a fantasy series like people trying to apply our reality to it. "these people are asian" "the story is set in medieval times"...have you considered that these people, places, contexts, time periods simply DO NOT exist which is intrinsically what the fantasy genre is
@volturivvwife
right 😭 tywin is so power hungry he's cruel even to those closest to him. and we know he has all his senses. not mad, very much himself.
@daenerysim
damn i wish i had been there to see that 😌😌😌 like for sure they asked her and she was like are u kidding i had a whole breakdown after reading the script of season 8 and now yall need me.....nope😭😭😭
rhaenyras god complex is so interesting to unpack because she believes she is the prince that was promised. she believes that in amassing weapons of mass destruction, using violence to attain them. that SHE can bring peace. it’s HER throne. everything she does is justified to her
"you're bitter meanwhile casual viewers actually like the show" please i think you don't remember how people actually truly LOVED game of thrones. it had random people at school, at work, EVERYWHERE, talking about it. that little show is nothing compared to it.
also daemon seeing dany makes no sense bc then he should understand what's gonna happen to the dragon pit since dany is clearly showed as the last hope with the last 3 eggs, so then he SHOULD TRY TO PREVENT IT to save the dragons no?????
not surprised white women think that other white women who enable and perpetuate patriarchy while reaping the benefits are themselves "victims," not surprised to see people preferring an imaginary, non canon, white wlw ship over a canon wlw ship with a black woman...
i think it's hilarious antis accuse targaryens of maintaining some kind of "blood purity" while simultaneously saying that rhaenyra's children are bastards
rhaenys would design dresses for her and visenya and visenya would act like she didn't really care but she would always wear whatever rhaenys had made for her
that NASTY white man playing with identities and baiting people without ever labeling himself bc "labels bad 🤪" now acting like he comes from some sort of minority man you're literally snow white with the talent of a fork i'm!!!
no bc why do we still have to explain that rhaenyra's death was a feminicide. why do we still have to defend dany in 2024. fictional women and you can't even stand THEM?
Ryan Condal says showing Daenerys in Daemon’s vision doesn't confirm she is The Prince That Was Promised:
#HouseOfTheDragon
“Remember that Game of Thrones, A Song of Ice and Fire, House of the Dragon in many ways, are warnings about the perils of power and people in power and
tw rape sexual assault abuse
some people have no problem watching rape over and over as well as gruesome violence against women, murder during childbirth, etc. but they draw the line at canon consensual incest in a magical family...
u can tell someone only read the wiki pages (or not even sometimes) when they start saying things like "most targs are mad!" "most targs wanted to maintain blood purity!" "most targs weren't dreamers!"
i'm actually so tired of seeing the pRoPhEcY involved in the dance and i'm so tired of seeing hbo feeding off dany's ashes and yeah maybe we shouldn't care but i care, i care because this is grrm's work, his legacy, and this sh*t is wrong.
