see, it was thinking about jason and roy as they were prereboot, about their potential and how they could get together, about how I would get them together, that inspired in me a kernel of curiosity about the pairing. canon is always the jumping point for me with ships, one way or another. every post about how roy! would never!! even LIKE jason!!! because [insert something that mr. cheshire would NOT find to be a dealbreaker sns] it gives me another push to iron out the plot I'm building just to get them fucking though, so that's nice.

Some people get mad when you point out that Kira Nerys canonically was a terrorist and killed a lot of people which is so funny because like that’s not an impediment to liking the character at all! The fact that she’s a thorny, morally-complicated character who has to grapple with that across the course of the show as she rubs up against conflicting ideologies, who forces us to grapple with all that too, is why she’s such a good character! She’d be less good if all that was sanded off and she was just a generic “badass woman” like we’ve seen in so much other media. She shows how people like her who’ve had the “upbringing” she has actually tend to be IRL.
But this is also yet another reminder that if you don’t like a character’s “faults” you do not actually like the character. If you have to sand her (or any other DS9 character) off to fit some generic mold because it’s more “inspiring” or “empowering” or “nice” to you then you’re no longer engaging with the character as written. You may as well be honest and admit you’re writing about an OC at that point.

I think fandom fundamentally lost something when fan content stopped being treated like a free creation from another fan and more like a YouTube video dropped from your favorite influencer.
it’s become content and consumers, not a community of people and it’s fundamentally breaking the ecosystem.

Dany: *breathes*
Dark!Dany "theories": I honestly don't know how there's any question of Dany turning evil when we have such obvious foreshadowing like this in the books. In the first place, this is not just Dany exhaling...it is a violent expulsion of air from her body. It's a sigh, a sign of impatience which shows that Dany becomes frustrated and restless very easily. Not only that, the presence of oxygen strengthens a fire and can lead to a sudden explosion; when Dany gets impatient, intentional or not, her first instinct is to add "fuel to the fire". And finally, air is the very essence of life. She expels "life" from her body, rather violently at that, the moment she becomes impatient and unconsciously begins to turn to fire...do I really need to say more? It's so obvious that Mad Queen!Dany is being built up, George isn't even trying to be subtle lol

It must be difficult for you lot to come to terms with the fact that you are simply a bizarre subset of obsessed fans. No matter how much you scream in your little echo chamber, it will not stop Daenerys from being loved and adored. It will not stop her from being the face of the show.  
I know it stings when you see viral tweet after viral tweet of her most iconic scenes. It's probably upsetting for you to know that they created Fabergé eggs resembling her dragon eggs and sold them for $2.2 million. Pieces that were inspired by her sell for thousands of dollars. Just this year, a jewellery brand made affordable versions of Daenerys jewellery. 
It must be hard for you to accept that, despite millions witnessing her burn peasants, she is still widely loved. Only Reddit incels and people who should have been left behind keep you company in the extreme Daenerys hate club.
I know it upsets you when you find out that individuals who possess reading and comprehension skills beyond a 10th-grade level adore Daenerys. I know it keeps you up at night. It must hurt that, even after the finale, her name is the one that House of the Dragon uses to market their show. 
I can see that you're struggling to hide your resentment when you think about how much critical acclaim Daenerys has earned for GRRM. Knowing that both fans and critics nominated the two novellas that focus on Dany must be a bitter pill to swallow. I am sure it disturbs you that the Stark show was such a failure that HBO shelved it after investing $30 million.
No matter how many times you say that Daenerys should be raped and killed as punishment, it will never change Sansa's chances of becoming queen. Regardless of how many times you call her “villain-coded” or praise her much-reviled heel turn, her relevance will never fade.
Irrespective of how many times you edit the text to support your baseless theories, celebrities will continue to reference her, fans will continue to create murals of her and shows will still be made about her family. Brands will continue to create luxury items based on her story and image. The actual text remains unchanged. Her impact remains undeniable, no matter how much you disregard or downplay her importance. That has got to hurt.

The annoying thing about “ugh why can’t we have more irredeemable and unsympathetic villains, all villains get redeemed or are sympathetic these days” discourse is…most stories that have redeemed or sympathetic villains also have at least one irredeemable villain with 0 sympathetic qualities. Name a redeemed villain and I can often also name another villain from the same story as them who doesn’t get redeemed. For every Darth Vader there’s a Palpatine. You say “not all villains can be Zukos some of them should be Ozais” but miss who the obvious Ozais already are in favor of calling for the Zukos to also be Ozais.

Listening to the TWoW sample chapters and Arianne literally declares Rhaegar and Daenerys as family and sees them as blood connections when Lysono Maar tries to push Aegon as Rhaegar and Elia's son.
“Prince Aegon is of your own blood, princess. Son of Prince Rhaegar Targaryen and Elia of Dorne, your father’s sister.” “Daenerys Targaryen is of our blood as well. Daughter of King Aerys, Rhaegar’s sister. And she has dragons, or so the tales would have us believe.” Fire and blood. “Where is she?” - Arianne, TWoW
The way this fandom tries to push through the wrong fanon that the Martells are anti Targaryen or anti Rhaegar is incredible when there is actual text like this in the books 😭
Dorne is not anti Rhaegar, the North is not anti-Rhaegar. We have Manderly, lord of the richest house in the North, saying that Rhaegar Frey is not worthy of the name:
“Soon I must return to the feast to toast my friends of Frey,” Manderly continued. “They watch me, ser. Day and night their eyes are on me, noses sniffing for some whiff of treachery. You saw them, the arrogant Ser Jared and his nephew Rhaegar, that smirking worm who wears a dragon’s name. Behind them both stands Symond, clinking coins.” - Davos, ADwD
Ned Stark does not hate Rhaegar in his pov chapters either. It's interesting that among the rebels it was the Martells and Starks most affected by the Mad King's actions, with dead family members, and yet they stand in stark contrast to someone like Robert Baratheon and his vitriolic hate for Rhaegar and the Targaryen babies.

i actually hate the whole "buying books and reading books are two different hobbies XD" thing. like you guys booktube / booktok already has a huge consumerism issue, we shouldn't make "i have a spending problem" into a funny little quirky trait.

I know that Astarion is a shit person and I think most other Astarion fans know too.
But honestly, it's exhausting liking a ~problematic~ character and constantly having fandom on your dick being like "It's okay to like problematic characters :-)))) Just as long as you PROVE TO ME that YOU KNOW that they're problematic. :-)))))) Just as long as I see a pinned post on your tumblr ACKNOWLEDGING the BAD CHARACTER STUFF. :-))))) I just want a 10,000 word essay about how you acknowledge this character is bad delivered by Tuesday at 5. :-)))))"

one thing fandoms love to do is invent something and then get mad at people for not agreeing that it happened
