Ohoh we're going full blown Lady of the Lake here. Woohoo
Dearest Ninianne / Ninienne / Nimue / Vivianne, make way for Mommicent.
All the tears on you can't make up for your woe's sum.
HOW DOES ANYONE EXPECT ME TO STAY STRAIGHT AFTER THIS?
Crispy coleslaw bullies children because their mother rejected him, does that make him the snape of HotD?
“What is it, one-eyed Visenya? Did we finally conquer Dorne?”
I feel like so many problems people have with tv at the moment could be solved if we just went back to the good ole days of 20 episodes a season that’s just sixty percent filler and character development. Give the people what they want- less condensed story and more meaningless shenanigans
Show Jaime:
“I know I just slept with Brienne who I have a deep attachment to, and I’m about six seasons deep into a redemption arch but Ima peace out and get crushed by rocks with my sister wife”
Book Jaime literally in the middle of reading a letter from Cersei begging him to come and save her:
“I wonder what brienne is doing right now”
I’m sorry no one is allowed to hate on the actress cast as Alys Rivers she was the fucking she wolf in GLOW that woman is an ICON
Watching Daemon flirt with his niece be like
I think the thing that’s really striking about the got books as opposed to the show is the way Martin never shies away from how physically damaged everyone is left. In the show Tyrion gets a badass scar but in the books he looses half his nose, Briennes teeth are broken and a chunk of her face is literally bitten out. Theon looks like an old man, his body is completely wrecked -
But they’re still not beyond hope. Their stories don’t finish with the horrible things that happen to them, their scars and deformities, they go on, and it’s not pretty and tragic and romantic like a story
And that’s the whole point.
Every single book in the series makes a point about how violence and war is romanticised in literature and history and Martin makes his character a living testament to the reality of war, the ugliness, the trauma, and that depth is just another thing that got glossed over in the show where people stay pretty and everything that made the books special is watered down.
Let your characters be ugly. Let them get hurt. Let them be scarred, and watch them get up anyway.
Remember when everyone was like Mmmm futuristic dystopias with real world parallels and now we’re all like damnnnnn in depth fantasy worlds with corrupt caste systems and the only consistent thread is that the government ain’t shit
What if Luke lived? And what if Addam was his friend, and after he had claimed a dragon and moved to Dragonstone Luke would come to him with his worries?

If Otto was smart:
Osferth, my darling, look at what you have become.
I am being dramatic. Harwin would have said, "Mine is bigger" and run away ahahah
The Bond
What once we had was pure and golden
The time had passed and we have rotten.
Who broke the peace? Who is to blame?
Who was the wolf? Who was the game?
Our bond untangled into worms
Presenting us in vile forms.
We bare our knives, we make our cuts,
We mend this bond by sharing scars.

rhaenyra baby girl I'm gonna hold your hand when I say this but the only one getting possessed at this moment is Daemon himself

the redhead with heart-eyes and their blondie that tries to run away is my favorite trope (i'm literally crying on the floor)
Yea typical for the Hotd fandom to be like the writers of the show (I sound like a crazy hater) and make that there favourites have done nothing ever wrong. (IMPORTANT: Both sides have this problem)
fics that make out like OTTO was the one in the wrong for the heir for a day thing….. have me dead
dude… like the only bad thing he did was be the spy guy when he wasnt master of spys 😭😭
but like theres nothing evil about having spies when ur hand anyway!!

oscar tully is the prince who was promised
We reasonably talk a lot about how that final scene was a character assassination for Alicent, but not nearly enough about what an entitled, unreasonable, and insufferable asshole Rhaenyra was acting like that entire scene.
Let’s start to hold Viserys accountable for how his children turned out not just their mother.
everyone’s like “ ha ha daeron’s kind because he wasn’t raised by alicent” but guess who else he wasn’t raised by? viserys. he wasn’t raised in an environment where he was a second thought always to his father. he didn’t see the abuse his mother and siblings faced from viserys. not absolving alicent of her questionable parenting but viserys f*cked up the green kids just as much if not more and daeron was spared of that.
As much as I hate the fact that they don’t follow the show and that many people say that “Fire & Blood is not a reliable source” (what is a hole new thing) it is so true so many characters (especially Alicent & Rhaenyra) Are just going from side quest to side quest. And you get the feeling (especially Alicent) like these characters, from season 2, are not the same people, as thei are from season 1, and not in the characters arc kind of way more in the: “we are inconsistent with how we write these characters, but pretend it all makes sense.” ???????????
"fire and blood isn't supposed to be a completely true story. the showrunners can adapt things how they want, they don't have to follow the source material."
my brother in christ they are not even following season one
