honestly I feel like faulkner surviving trying to drown himself might mean that he'll make it out of the show alive? I definitely thought he was on a one way tragic descent (a katabasis, even) to death town, but now that we've had that culminating moment, I don't think we'll be getting a re-do. get undoomed by the narrative, idiot. survive. live with the consequences. talk to your damn sister.

Day 5113 of both being dead: Duman has resorted to attempted cannibalism, so far he's been unsuccessful. If they don't bring him back by next year he might actually succeed at some point (no he won't).
Happy 14th Double Death Day

I think people overestimate how feminist team black is. If someone brings up how Baela should be the heir to Driftmark, it's always "she would've been Queen if not for the Greens!", ignoring that 1, she would be Queen consort, not a Queen in her own right, and 2 she has a legitimate claim in her own right to Driftmark. Team Black's goal is to crown Rhaenyra, but Rhaenyra becoming Queen isn't a win for feminism because it does nothing to dismantle the rest of the patriarchal system that exists in Westeros. From what we've gotten so far, it reads that Rhaenyra wants to be the exception and not the rule. Rhaenyra has made a lot of bad political decisions, which means she can't acknowledge Baela's claim because it would weaken her own claim (blatantly admitting her eldest sons are illegitimate would not end well for her to say the least). So she betrothes Jace and Luke to Baela and Rhaena to kind of atone for that, like as a consolation prize Baela will be Queen and Rhaena will be lady of Driftmark, neither of them would hold either title in their own right. It's good matches because the kids like each other and will treat each other well, but it's not a feminist win or a feministic liberation. It's usurpation, usurpation that takes place because Rhaenyra has to do damage control after having illegitimate children and after a serious of bad political decisions (both hers and her fathers, Viserys is the arbiter of this entire mess). To me, Rhaenyra is very reminiscent of Mary Queen of Scots, I can see a lot of elements drawn from Mary's history in Rhaenyra's story and character, down to their sons eventually taking the crown they failed to claim/keep.

i'll forever wish that hsmtmts was one of those shows that got 22 episodes a season so every character and plotline could've been given the proper treatment they deserved. like yeah it's a lot for the premise it had, but more episodes would've meant delving more into their backgrounds or giving more development into friendships and relationships of the show. i'm also still kind of mad that the season that was arguably their weakest ended up with the most episodes, while their stronger seasons had a limited number of episodes.

Anyway I am going to keep enjoying writing every single fic idea I have for this dumb beautiful show forever. This is a great reminder to consider pursuing archives of your favourite media, should you feel something is important to be able to rewatch in future.

ok i'm not a bridgerton person so to say but i also totally am a bridgerton person and you know what i think is funny. how people reacted when it was first announced this would be Penelope's season. saying she wasn't leading lady material and they couldn't see a whole season about her and Colin. it's so fucking clear why someone would think that that it's not even satisfying to smack it back in their faces. why isn't she leading lady material? she's fucking lady whistledown, she's a barbie. if Nicola can't be a leading lady bc she's thicc with nice tits, what hope is there for us pasty bitches who are thicc and have nice tits I dare ask. if anything it makes her more likely to slay it in my eyes.

was making my way through my first real rewatch of S4 with a friend who hadn’t seen it / is a decently casual viewer. was really interested to hear her opinion on things (she’s a big rayllum fan, knew TTM and has read some fic but isn’t in fandom) and also reaffirmed that like 1) just how strong everyone’s arcs, particularly janai, ezran, soren, and developing relationships are and 2) that the more i sit and think about S4 and let go of what i Thought had to happen, the more i like it.

Binged series 4 of Ghosts and my (incoherent) thoughts are:
Julian and Fanny united in being horny voyeurs is the best and I need more of it
the sorry song is the single most funniest thing put on this earth I was literally screaming with laughter
There can never be enough Annie I love Bridget Christie so much <3
I can't believe they actually had Mary move on and if they do this to anyone else I'm gonna have to resort to murder
What did they do to Julian's hair it's less poufy :/
Almost no chess husband scenes :(
but hello Capulian is back - first the touching in episode 4, then Julian being so bothered that the Captain thinks badly of him and trying to prove to him that he's not morally bankrupt
I wish I had never read any fan theories about how the ghosts died, then the Robin reveal would have been more surprising
