Ok so Rhaenys gets on Alicent’s case about being “in service to men” and perpetuating male power.

But that entire scene was so hypocritical. Rhaenys lost her chance at having the iron throne and simply accepted it. She didn’t fight for her claim or anything. Instead she flew off to driftmark and lived her life.

Even worse, Rhaenys tried to bring Alicent down for essentially perpetuating the patriarchy by placing her son on the throne. But in the episode prior she perpetuated the patriarchy tenfold by deciding that the boy who is completely unrelated her or her son should take the throne over the daughter of her daughter. A true born heir. If you choose a bastard boy who you know is not related to your marital Velaryon family in any way (and therefore has zero claim to the lands of that family) simply because he is the assumed son of your son, over the daughter of your daughter whom you know for a fact is related to the family who owns the lands…that’s not feminism.

Say what you will about bastardy or whatever. But you can’t claim you’re a girlboss feminist when you pick an unrelated bastard boy to rule over his true born cousin who is a girl. That is perpetuating the patriarchy. That is showing that any man is better than a woman to rule according to you.

The hypocrisy of that scene was astounding. Alicent places her son on the throne over Rhaenyra (for their family’s own safety), and suddenly she’s a victim of patriarchal society (not when she was a child bride being raped tho). But Rhaenys will claim she is rocking the boat by *checks notes* accepting her title of “The Queen Who Never Was” and putting a bastard boy on the seat over her true born granddaughter simply because he is the “son” of her son.

#The Apology Dance gives me such queer joy

season 3 predictions

yes this is just a "moon's haunted" joke what about it

I can't stop thinking about Gwen in ATSV. She mentioned about how she, in every other universe, died when she was loved by spiderman/Peter Parker. Peter B., Noir, Ham, and Peni didn't talk about it, but I can't help but think about how Gwen is in this organization where literally thousands of people were in love with her and she died. When she walked through Neuva York, every Spiderman was tripping over themselves to call out to her specifically and receive a "hey :)" back. Not Spider Jess or Hobie.

And then there's Pavitr and, love him of course, but I wonder how it felt to see him talk about Gayatri. I know it's a joke but how does it feel to see yourself put on this pedestal. You can't help but compare yourself and wonder "did my Peter see me that way? How would I have acted if he did?" To see her dad in Officer Singh. To see herself trapped in a bus, desperately pounding on the window as she dangled above certain death again.

In the original Spiderman India comic, they skipped over Gwen/Gayatri entirely, and instead had Meera Jain. Which I get why they did from a meta perspective, but in universe, how does it feel to know your replacement is out there. Every Spiderman is happy with their MJ, and they think of Gwen fondly, but like.... Gwen is replaceable. She is the first love, but she doesn't get a future. It's a canon event.

The horror of being a fridged woman.

i am not calling twitter fucking x

Something that I've personally wondered about for a long time.

You know the drill. Reblog for sample size.

“Are those my chucks?”

Anyone who watches Barbie and comes out of it thinking that it portrayed all men as stupid completely missed the fact that Ken read 3 books and then overthrew his local government in a matter of hours.

Books Galbatorix: I will expand the borders of my Empire, subjugate the elves, conquer the dwarves and suppress Surda. The Varden will bow down to me when I will oblige Eragon and Saphira, thanks to the True Name of the ancient leanguage that I found out personally, to my service. Once this is done, I will use the same to command the wizards of Alagaësia and rebuild an order of Dragon Rid-

I’d like to thank one Christopher Paolini for his service to the good of humanity (writing the Inheritance Cycle books)

And for the elf furry

Okay, I kicked off the reread, and I’ve already finished listening to the first ten chapters of Eragon.

The nostalgia hit me like a freight train. I’ve got all these new headcanons and watsonian explanations and I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH MYSELF DAMMIT.

I wasn’t going to do a chapter by chapter reaction, but I gotta spit these out or I’m going to explode.
