#how would reducing baela to the other woman in her own relationship help her character?

[lagosbratzdoll]

I find it odd and by odd I mean racist that ever since that stupid show cast the Dragon Twins as Black girls, there's been an uptick in Jace/Sara content/shipping.

Before the dumpster fire started, reasonable people agreed that Sara Snow was not real, but now you cannot go five minutes in Jace or Baela’s tag without seeing someone wish they'd include Sara Snow in the show.

They say it'll deepen Jace’s character and make him “interesting”, whatever that means. The problem with this assertion is that Jace is already plenty interesting, he led the war councils while his mother grieved, and he recruited the blacks' most important allies. Allies who remained steadfast even after his mother's and his own demise.

Furthermore, Jace has existing relationships in his life that the show could explore to delve into his connection with bastardy. Three of whom are canonically Black, by the way.

So, the question arises: what unique perspective or insight can Sara Snow provide to Jace's struggle with his bastard status that Nettles, Addam, and Alyn cannot?

#i was going to leave it alone because i’m tired of talking about antiBlackness in general but i saw a post that annoyed me in Baela’s tag. #this fandom is so racist #it is genuinely exhausting that i cannot even scroll a characters tag in peace #it is telling that most of y’all skip all the canonical Black bastards to attach yourselves onto a white character whose in world existence #is debated #how would reducing baela to the other woman in her own relationship help her character? #would that not just repeat the disgusting precedent that the show runners set with laena #why can’t she be loved and cherished and missed and treated with tenderness #house of the dragon #baela targaryen #jace velaryon #nettles #addam velaryon #alyn velaryon #sara snow #had to get that out of my system #back to ignoring asoiaf discourse as best i can
