TB actors can't have fun...

And I don't know why but some of this post feels racist. That white guy makes black actors look plain, wtf?

It’s a very weird post to be sure.

I don’t care to address most of the other points because other people have spent months trying to drum into their heads that much of the hate that Rhaenyra faces is baseless and driven by misogyny.

“So it's straight up an insult to the actors not the characters. And weren't blacks the one who were angry because Criston and season 2 Aegon are too hot? And I mean Aemond is so famous and one of the reasons is because he's sexy and sorry to break it to you but Alicent is more beautiful and feminine that Rhaenyra... So yeah bullshit. Just Aegon himself is enough to make you guys all look plain.”

This made me laugh. I can’t lie. Steve Toussaint ribbing his cast mates, who he knows, will never be the issue they keep trying to make it. Everyone’s reaction to this has been strange. A couple of weeks ago, a tweet comparing Corlys to a horse had almost 5k likes. When black people were like, that’s a weird thing to tweet, everyone kept gaslighting us. 

People kept telling us it wasn’t racially motivated, and they argued that the fact that only a crackship involving a dark-skinned black person was generating this much vitriol was simply coincidental. Keep in mind, in this fandom, everyone ships everyone, and I mean everyone. The fandom will hop, skip and jump over racism and racist posts to make ugly white people the victims. 

In that vein, what explanations would the Greens offer for their usurpation? “She’s a whore and her children are bastards”? Do you honestly believe that Anno Domini MMXXIV, sane individuals will start screeching about “bastardy” and “whoredom” as moral failings? I need all of you to be serious. No matter how much you freaks try, Bobblehead and Crescent Moon will never be the victims you keep trying to frame them as. That last part about Alicent and Rhaenyra, what a weird thing to put out into the universe. 

Also, I read the comments and I have to wonder where people are getting this George is anti-feudalism and anti-monarchy reading from. George is anti-war, and that is very clear in his writing, but the rest is just personal bias leaking through. Where is this coming from, considering the smallfolk are rarely individualised? Outside of prologues and epilogues, there are only four lowborn POVs in the entire body of work. There’s no movement to end monarchy and the concept of nobility. The main cast of characters are in the middle of various plots to reclaim/hold on to their ancestral seats. Well, except for Daenerys who is fighting slavery and Jon who is busy being dead.

sometimes i remember that “you were a child, i spared you” line that daemon says to rhaenyra and the top of my head starts getting hot. the writers/producers involved in that show are so racist that it stops me in my tracks sometimes.

they really lowered laena’s age to victimise her. every single achievement/relationship is stolen from her to prop up white characters. her husband’s love for her is taken away to prop up daemyra. her girlfriend is taken from her to prop up rhaenicent. she can’t go home because of reasons. even her claiming vhagar is taken away to prop up the one-eyed menace.

they hate black people so much that they’d rather have an incoherent, misogynistic mess of a show than stick to a canon where the characters they race bent have actual impact on the storyline. they’re all going straight to hell.

The family they built together stood the test of time. The love Laena and Rhaenyra had for each other is evident in their children and their willingness to die for one another. To protect one another despite the costs to themselves.

Laenyra is kinda the greatest ship of all time if you think about it for more than two seconds.

#i am going to be sick #laena's dragon killing the boy she loved #laena's dragon going from safety to a thing to fear #daemon having to fight the dragon that he flew beside for years #the dragon of the woman he loved #rhaenyra struggling to hate the dragon of the woman she loved #rhaenyra losing her husband to her lover's dragon #syrax having to lose the companions she once flew with #god the angst #the pain #the devastation #george you will pay

[lagosbratzdoll]

They grow so close that they betroth their children to one another and Syrax begins to lay several clutches of eggs. Laena's death seals Rhaenyra's fate.

Laenyra is kinda the greatest ship of all time if you think about it for more than two seconds.

Two bold, wilful girls finding kinship in one another.

Laenyra is kinda the greatest ship of all time if you think about it for more than two seconds.

It must have been so hard for you to go through this alone. You couldn't tell anyone that you were struggling. I didn't know how much pain you were in. I'm sorry that I didn't know.

"To your point, I have repeatedly argued here and elsewhere that making the Velaryon the Black House™ was a decision that lacked forethought. It is a textbook example of benevolent racism, superficial visuals and the emptiness of the diversity movement."

This sat in my inbox for more than a week as I debated how to answer it. After thinking about it for longer than I should've, I wrote a long post explaining myself as best as I could. As I was reading it over, I started to wonder, why is it on me to explain stuff that you can look up?

This is a very very unfinished thought but I've been thinking a lot as I reread the books about how the women of House of the Dragon don't really get catharsis and how that'll likely be worse in S2. Say what you want about asoiaf but a number of named women there experience catharsis.

They kill their abusers (Lysa, Cersei, Dany). They regain some agency after a violation (Lysa, Cersei, Lady Stoneheart, Dany), and they refuse to forgive the people complicit in their subjugation (Lysa, Cersei, Dany, Lady Stoneheart, Jeyne Westerling).

Obviously, three or four isn't enough in such an expansive cast of characters but the point remains that they claw back their autonomy however they have to. They're allowed to be angry, bitter, unforgiving and cruel to their abusers in a way women in House of the Dragon just aren't allowed. They're allowed grief, grief that is violent and destructive.

The women of House of the Dragon don't get angry. They stand around and stare plaintively at the camera, they cry prettily, and they plead for peace and non-violence. They suffer and suffer and suffer and there's no relief.

#although dany doesn't really set out to kill her abuser #in fact she doesn't really think of him as her abuser #but the fact remains that her story begins with his death #she gains her dragons and agency through his death #lysa murdering jon arryn #lysa not going to riverrun when hoster is on his deathbed despite cat's letters #she denies him relief for his crimes against her and it's one of my favourite moments in asoiaf #cersei killing robert #cersei eating robert's children taking back reproductive autonomy from the man that hurt her #lady stoneheart turning her grief and pain onto the riverlands #she hangs freys boltons and lannisters uncaringly #it's a failing of the storytelling because this is supposed to be the feminist retelling of the dance #but instead the misogyny that leads up to the dance has been defanged. #the point of the show has been obscured behind endless arguments of the supposed illegitimacy of rhaenyra's first three children #the women fighting for power have been replaced by evil men perched on their shoulders telling them to do bad things #they're helpless victims carried along by the stream of inevitability #or something idk #also i am not including alicent trying to take luke's eye and injuring rhaenyra as cathartic because they are not the cause of her sufferin #house of the dragon #not asoiaf thoughts #daenerys targaryen #lysa arryn #cersei lannister #lady stoneheart #alicent hightower #rhaenyra targaryen #helaena targaryen #rhaenys targaryen

I saw this confession in regard to fans casting indigenous actors for House Stark: tumblr(.)com/fandomlife-confessions/738947497242869760 and I do agree. It did get me thinking about whether or not making House Velaryon black was a good idea. Especially when Aegon III’s children will be black.

I have my own issues with the First Men being framed as indigenous. I cannot actually remember if I have gotten it out anywhere else but I'll summarise it here.

I find the Starks/First Men being indigenous (in the story) problematic because that narrative erases those who sing the song of the earth, the giants and all the other old races who fought, bled and died to keep their home/land. I have a lot of issues with Game of Thrones' portrayal of the old races and I could rant about it for hours but that's not the point of this ask.

To your point, I have repeatedly argued here and elsewhere that making the Velaryon the Black House™ was a decision that lacked forethought. It is a textbook example of benevolent racism, superficial visuals and the emptiness of the diversity movement.

I'm not sure what you mean by the last part but to be honest, I truly believe that the show is going to erase Daenaera to push some bullshit the greens and the blacks made peace with Jaehaera and Aegon the Sad's marriage. So, I don't think the Blackness of Aegon's kids will ever be an issue.

#This ask has ignited a burning desire to put all my frustrations into words #but I'll have to rewatch Game of Thrones to do that accurately.
