When Alicent said “an eye for an eye” all the black stans called her crazy, however when Rhaenyra and Daemon say “a son for a son” they don’t call them out for the fact that it’s the same concept they called Alicent a “crazy bitch” for. Not to mention after learning that Aemond killing Lucerys was an accident. It makes what Blood and Cheese even more disgusting and deplorable.
Daemon (internet's feminist, female gaze, malewife boyfriend) really called Alicent, who spent her life getting raped in her marital bed by his rotting brother Viserys, a whore, and accused her of murdering him, when she cared for his decaying corpse for a decade while Daemon did not so much as lift a finger.
Daemon Malewife Targaryen (Sept 2022-Oct 2022), brutally murders his innocent first wife by bashing her skull in; grooms his teenage niece, deliberately trying to destroy her honour so she's ruined for other men and then abandons her in a brothel; fucks said niece on the night of his second wife's funeral and then marries her before his second wife's bones have finished charring- and you have the nerve to be shocked that this geriatric nonce, who you decided was your internet boyfriend, isn't actually a good man?
Telling how none of his violence, neglect and hatred of women (sorry, whores/bitches) mattered until he raised a hand to Rhaenyra, the "exception". This has always been who his character is and is exactly in line with his portrayal all season. The man who kills women, abuses women. Who would have thought.
What “I’m kinder than you” was about:
- If the roles where reversed, Edwina would have told Kate the truth and let Kate decide for herself (about her marriage and life in general)
- knowing the truth and making an informed decision is better than unknowingly marrying an unfaithful self-centred man and dealing with the consequences for life
- Edwina would also blame herself for her unhappy marriage like how she blamed herself at the (non) proposal dinner: “I should have been better”
- seeing Kthony sniff each other and giddily dance in front of Edwina, when they had just broken her heart
- having to clean up after them by putting on a show for the ton
What it wasn’t about:
- not loving Kate
- “hating Kate for existing”
- Kate being the meanest person alive
I wish I could draw, I have the most 🔥🔥🔥 idea for an ATLA AU, but I can only imagine it as a comic...
Not being able to draw is the worst 😤
Aang is part of a nomadic group that travels in campers/vans and Katara and Sokka join him for a spontaneous roadtrip (Aang and Kataras idea)
And there are adventures and some political things.
And Azula is a chess prodigy
It's just sooo good 😅
What are your thoughts on Sansa not kneeling for Tyrion ? Does her rebellion in this scene also have a tinge of ableism before realising no matter what she does she is eventually going to be forced into a Lannister marriage and no matter how much anger and resentment she directs towards Tyrion , it's not going to have any effect on the people that she hates(Cersei, Joffrey) and this eventually makes her empathize with him and she kneels ?
Sansa is a 12-year-old forced to marry into her enemy house. Not kneeling (a symbol of submission and fealty) is the only rebellion she can safely engage in at that moment.
Tyrion's disability is not her responsibility in this moment. He is not a fellow victim. He is complicit in her victimization because he chose to marry her and be the Lannister who gets Winterfell. He could have said no. Perhaps at a cost, but he could have. And as he later admits, he wants her and her claim.
If he wants to look as dignified as a taller man in a ceremony that is built on ableist and sexist standards and gestures (tall man sweeps cloak of protection over his bride) he should have made provisions for that. He can't honestly expect their POW to prioritize his sense of dignity when he is fully expecting to consumate this forced marriage with this 12-year-old girl that very night.
The fact that Sansa does empathize with him and even feels shame for her action speaks well of her compassion but it doesn't mean she actually, objectively, owed Tyrion anything in this moment. Not kneeling wasn't ableist, it was personal defiance.
This is the most well written and explained way I've ever seen this put
I stg Sansa antis/Arya stans who blame Sansa for Lady's murder (moving aside Cersei's role for a moment) even though it's Arya & Nymeria's actions that have casuality (Arya letting Nymeria go = Cersei kills Lady in her place) make a spiteful part of me hope that Nymeria dies & Arya loses her ability to warg. It's what they deserve.
Tbh, sometimes I’m so annoyed at them that I don’t even hate the ‘Arya dies and becomes Nymeria and then becomes Sansas wolf’ anymore, even though the theory on a rational day is horrible.
Like, I don’t hate Arya, but her stans are so annoying that I’m thinking ‘Yessss I’ll take everything for my fave while you get noting’
