Why are we romanticizing Daemon grooming not one but two girls?
Actually three, forgot about Laena
First, Laena isn't a child in the books when Daemon courts her. She's in her early 20s and she and Daemon have a less than 10-year age gap. The show severely screwed over her and her marriage with Daemon.
Second, Daemon only groomed Rhaenyra. She's the only one who was actually underage(14) when he “courted her.” He knew her since the day she was born and he was a grown man. He's her uncle. In the show, he abandoned her in a brothel where anything could've happened to her. In the show, he choked her out when she got out of line. He's eventually going to abandon her like he does in the books when she needs him the most because he realizes he doesn't care about the throne that much therefore she's become obsolete to him….do I need to go on?
Third and finally, Nettles was a grown woman when Daemon meets her and starts a fully consensual relationship with her whether you all like it or not:
(I'm including this cause I know this beautiful piece of art keeps you guys up at night. Be thankful I didn't include the one with Daemon in the bed and Netty looking mighty pleased).
If Daemon groomed her he wouldn't have tried to defend her with his very life because the whole purpose of grooming someone is to use them to your benefit(which is what he did with Rhaenyra to be closer to the throne/his bro). So you'd have to be alive to enjoy the person you are grooming and spoilers Daemon wouldn't have been alive if he died so Netty could get away from Maidenpool:
If you guys are truly looking for the person(s) who abused Nettles then look no further than your queen (and her henchwoman) who tried to make her into a hate crime statistic (thank God Daemon saved his Netty):
Daemon is not a villain in Nettles story. They loved each other and they wanted each other. When push came to shove he was willing to do anything to save her. If you've got a problem with that take it up with George R. R. Martin(or whoever failed at teaching you reading comprehension).
I do feel bad that Rhaenyra was groomed by Daemon, but that is where my sympathy ends with her. Nettles and Queenie aren’t co-victims who share a common abuser. Queenie is both a victim and a villain herself.
So dear, why are we sympathizing with a racist who is out there trying to murder a woman in her sleep? If you people actually cared about Netty half as much as you did about Rhaenyra you wouldn’t try to put them on the same plane(and if the races were reversed there is no way you'd sympathize with her).
Next caller please 💅🏽

(unpopular swiftie opinion, whatever:
i am so over the separate release dates for her "deluxe" or "extended editions" of albums. remember when she would drop both at the same time and give fans the OPTION of how much money they wanted to spend or what tracks they wanted?
remember when she dropped the "3am edition" AFTER all the pre-order sales/streams had already been collected and made it so that you had to LITERALLY BUY the entire album again in order to have the 3am tracks available to you? so the first 13 songs of midnight, so many folks have duplicates of?
remember when she dropped an EXCLUSIVE track only available at MetLife and in order to get it, all the fans had to buy THE ENTIRE album again? and took down the streams of it immediately?
its hard for me to be excited about "lover from the vault" when i know it'll max have 5 songs, one of which is likely the girls you loved before which we've had for months.
and all this is fine, but the falseness of like "it's for the fans!!! because i love you!!!!" is like...half true. and half taylor knowing her fan base will spend the money and buy the whole album again.
like miss girl, just say you like the money and you like the pay check and leave it at that)

Rewatched Alfie & Tommy quarrel scene, and I’m telling you I always thought Alfie said “I didn’t know about your boy, love”, until I turned on the subtitles.

for the ask game Reed and 15 👀
Send me a character and I'll tell you:
15: A secret
Reed is terrified of becoming a ghoul and the potential of becoming feral; it's moreso the loss of bodily autonomy and potential loss of control rather than the physical ghoul part, but he's still pretty freaked out by the physical effects involved too. He pretty much gaslights himself into believing that that's not what is happening to him and spends an unreasonable amount of time denying it and shutting down any conversation related to it. He also denies being concerned about it, but everyone that really knows how to read him(so Deacon, Nick, Cait, Hancock, Delta, Danse, etc) can see right through that whole argument.
