I can’t believe what a point of contention this has become. I genuinely cannot understand the animosity towards it lol
Seriously post after post bitching and crying and begging for this to be destroyed - now besides how grossly disrespectful that would be to the stone masons who worked on this for years - it’s bizarre? I understand the criticism against Viserys (as a father, husband, King) but as a Targaryen - this endeavor is probably the most noble. So, while I see the childish thought process behind “smashing his legos” - come on be ffr.
The Doom of Valyria was catastrophic and while I’m hesitant to call it a “lost civilization” it is akin to the Atlantian mythology in nature and description. It’s not only the ancestral home of Houses Targaryen and Velaryon, but it was a major hub of magic, the most advanced city in the known world and likely the place of origin of the Faceless Men. The Doom is endlessly fascinating, from its predictions to the sheer cataclysmic scale of it all. I mean 14 volcanoes erupting at once would make Pompeiis explosion look like a candle to the sun.
Recreating Valyria by painstakingly pouring over texts to replicate what once was is a tragic echo that reverberates through generations. And for a fandom that shouts back and forth about “true Targaryen” definitions it seems most of those don’t care for that echo. The epic demise of a homeland filled with magic and dragons that are never to be seen again should be more than a foot note. A generational trauma that follows every Targaryen - the ever present fear that the Doom will swallow them too - down to Dany and her dragons which would have seemingly signified the return of magic long lost. How could any “true” Targaryen have anything but heartache over the loss of Valyria and the Freehold? How could they not be plagued with the weight on their shoulders that none in Westeros could truly sympathize with?
And I’ve long held a grudge against HBO for the way they mistreat Magic (and race, gender, sexuality, etc) in these fantasy series (no I’m never going to forgive them ESPECIALLY in HotD for not doing the CGI purple eyes [somehow Witcher had it in the budget AND it looked good] because of how much that trait was a distinctly other/outsider signifier) but this stupid little model is actually one of only additions I respect. Because while it can be viewed as some petty distraction for a physically deteriorating chronically ill history buff to get away from his kids - it is the biggest symbol of devotion to Targaryen culture - way more than anything else in the series. So I’ll die on this hill. The legos must be protected.

I accidentally opened tumblr today and I found that I had 16 things in my inbox and 47 messages. Every single one of them either saying that I should kill myself, or that they'd find me and kill me. Why? Because I'm Jewish and therefore must support Israel in the war. If you're one of those people who do that, disrespectfully fuck off.

I'm having real trouble finishing the last few episodes of O Segredo Na Floresta
Coz I'll open the vod to where I was up to and like every five minutes, Cellbit will drop some context to a character that recontexualises its entire arc, and I'll get depressed and close the stream again

I don't know if it's just me, but does anyone else find the 2012 tmnt series incredible depressing? More precisly, the fate of the Hamato clan?
By the end of the series, the turtles have lost their father and are left to protect themselves and the world on their own. There's no one they can turn to for advice, no adult they can expect to rely on.
It's just a bunch of teenagers constantly scrambling to not get killed by villains and save the world from mass destruction.
They get almost no brakes between crazy lunatics trying to take over the world. They can never let up; never be normal teenagers who can afford to make mistakes and fool around.
They're child soldiers expected to battle the evils of the world.
You can see the effect of this the most in Leo. The trauma and ptsd he experiences lead to him becoming more and more somber as time goes on. He doesn't crack jokes as often, lashes out more, is more serious. After Splinter's death, he has to step up and become the new head of the clan. He has to take on responsibilities no child should ever have to carry. He is expected to lead his team and deafeat the enemy, but everytime he does so, he risks the lives of his brothers and friends, the only family he has left.
They deserve so much better than that.
