will is a mitski girlie and hannibal is a lana del rey girlie. no I will not be elaborating further at this time
I was ready for everything: Luz dying, Luz never coming back to the demon realm, Lumity breakup... anything!
I was not ready for all of them to look straight into my soul and say goodbye
I will be crying for days
alicent criticism often strikes me as having the same vibes as the people watching a horror movie and going "i would have never done that, the characters died because they made stupid choices, i would have easily survived". alicent had her life stolen from her when she was a teenager forced to marry an old man and have his children. it's something so horrible that i feel like a large amount of people (and some characters, like rhaenyra) simply can't fit it into their worldview that something like that can just happen to you and instead go "well if that was me then it wouldn't have fundamentally destroyed me as a person. in her situation i would've turned out fine and my poison wouldn't be dripping through. i would easily be a good mother". i saw some people found it a stupid writing choice that rhaenyra thought alicent could stop the war because it is "obvious" that alicent has no control over what is going on, but i think that failure to see the real horror of alicent's situation is what destroyed their friendship and drove them apart. from the beginning rhaenyra thought alicent was choosing to marry her father. in return alicent failed to see the way rhaenyra was being targeted for grooming by daemon. i think they both engaged in victim blaming because "my friend is acting hurtful towards me, so i'm mad" is actually easier to deal with emotionally than "my friend had her entire life and personhood stolen from her and so have i"
“Team green! No team black!” Shut the fuck up!! Just have Rhaenyra and Alicent settle this in bed DAMN
Dude I-
If this isn’t confirmation enough then I don’t know what is 💀
We as a community need to talk more about the fact that Els first word to Mike was "no" and Wills first word to Mike was "yes"
New sleep style: hitting the snooze button so many times that you sleep two additional hours in ten minute intervals. I call this Horse Sleep
Labour by Paris Paloma was written for Alicent Hightower btw.

Ok so here’s the thing. I love both Alicent and Rhaenyra, but my love of them is very different. I think they are both extremely interesting characters.
But the difference between them for me is this:
With Alicent, I genuinely believe that she is a good person. Like everything she’s done I completely understand, and it’s always been with the intention of defending herself, her children, or Rhaenyra. But you guys probably know how much I love Alicent by now and this post is mostly about Rhaenyra so I’m gonna move on.
With Rhaenyra, I think she’s more morally gray. She’s done some things that I would definitely label as bad. I wouldn’t call her a good person. Honestly, I agree that she’s selfish. But that’s part of the reason why I like her.
The thing is, she’s a victim just like Alicent. It’s just that she’s less victimized in the show, and amongst her own fans. (For some reason people think being a victim makes you less of a girlboss, but whatever).
Just like Alicent, she had a crusty old man grooming her.
And Viserys and Otto weren’t exactly the same, but they were certainly both shitty fathers.
My point being, I definitely feel sympathy for her. And she’s not the villain.
The similarity between Alicent and Rhaenyra is that they were both young girls who were groomed and manipulated by the men in their lives. But the difference is the results of this.
Alicent was made to be more mature than her age. She was exposed to some very harsh realities very early on. And now she’s paranoid and pessimistic. So of course she’s scared for her life and the lives of her children.
Rhaenyra was made to be more childish. Viserys made it so that she never had to face any consequences. And Daemon has tried to keep her powerless and immature. And now, as a grown woman, she’s extremely disconnected from reality. While Alicent is overly aware of how in danger she is, Rhaenyra is incredibly naive and oblivious.
I don’t really know what else to say. I guess I just needed to rant a little. Basically the point I’m trying to make is that Rhaenyra antis annoy me because she was a victim and she’s not evil or dumb, but Rhaenyra Stans that make her out to be a saint also annoy me because she’s far from perfect, and she’s far from selfless.
The thing is he wouldn’t even be a villain he would be completely justified. The good side is whatever side Will Byers is on and I will die on that hill ✌️
Honestly if they don't make Will a villain in s5 then what's even the point of his character? To be the lonely sad gay sidekick who can't catch a break? If he can't be happy let him be the big bad they have to defeat. I want him to be a badass who doesn't give a shit and effs people up next season. Give him a badass makeover too. Like El's s2 makeover. He deserves it and I would root for him to win.
As much as I've enjoyed (using the term very loosely) watching Will this season be a vaguely homosexual irrelevant third wheel who's always about to cry but never actually does, I agree. Honestly Will deserves to become a villain at this point. Look at the constant shit he's had to deal with and tell me you wouldn't be tempted by the dark side. I will support him no matter what and we all should too.
Also I'm trying to picture Will with a badass makeover and I don't know why but the concept of someone being badass and also having a bowl cut is very amusing to me.
