and rhaenyra would become even more boring because she doesn't have that much agency in the war, 😭 literally does nothing in the whole story, for me it's to show how she just wants things to be handed at her and how lazy she is
Having just read up to the storming of the dragon pit I don’t want to say that she didn’t have agency in the war cause it felt like there wasn’t that much focus on HER. The focus always ended up being on daemon more than anything? I dunno I dunno. I don’t vibe with the idea that she lacks agency during the war but I can’t quite explain or back that up lol
As to the charge of laziness I just think it’s more to do with entitlement. She was NAMED heir. She’s the purer Targaryen. She rides a dragon. As far as she’s concerned - the throne the crown kings landing the seven kingdoms are all OWED to her. Why should she have to work for what’s owed? She’s entitled to those things and if you don’t give them to her then you’re a traitor. It would have been a different thing if she had ascended the throne and then proven herself to be a lazy incompetent ruler like her father but we never really get there.
So yeah in story, both book and show, I think her greatest flaw is entitlement not laziness. We don’t really see her turning down responsibility cause she doesn’t feel like doing it, you know? We just see her being denied the opportunity until she just accepts that she’ll get the crown without the proper “work” that supposedly makes a good ruler.
my mother taught me to crochet when i was young. she was left handed, so she taught me how in the bathroom mirror so her hands would be in the right position.
she learned to crochet from her grandmother, who was right handed. her grandma was the one that originally used the bathroom mirror to teach her granddaughter properly.
i find something poetic about that. here in this bathroom mirror, through generations, we adapt to our young who have a different way of learning and interacting with the world
paramount and spyglass are trying so hard right now to save face because jenna ortega rightfully left the scream franchise after they fired melissa for supprting palestine. nobody is dumb enough to believe the excuse that it’s a scheduling conflict hours after rumors she was trying to get out of her contract cause she was pissed. i’m very thankful that jenna is risking her career and using her position to do the right thing. she’s been outspoken about palestine for years now. i hope this begins a trend of zionist losing money for their support and complacency with an active genocide
