misspelling something in my tags is such a humiliating experience
Tiberias Calore VII it seems i’ve grown quite fond of you though there are no romantic urges or desires you come to me as long lost friends whom i once picked apples with in papa’s orchard
no Maven was actually crazy for getting in Cal’s face screaming shit about “You killed the king you killed our father!” after Elara just forced him to while he was begging her to stop like truly one of his more batshit moments if i do say so
Vent ig
Fandoms will always be more willing to humanize and excuse the male antagonists but will take any chance to further demonize female antagonists (or just female characters in general lets be honest) and turn them into cartoonishly evil ppl.
I hate making everything about RQ but Elara is what sparked this from me, or at least something I remembered pushed me to want to vent about this. It kills me that ppl in this fandom will sit and make excuses day in and day out about how Maven actually isn't to blame for any of it and how it actually isn't that bad that Maven killed thousands of ppl and physically and mentally abused Mare and Iris (and hell maybe even Evangeline who knows at this point) but will then turn around and exaggerate what Elara did to the absolute extreme. I am NOT saying that Elara didn't do anything wrong or should be excused cause I don't think that! What I am saying is, I loathe when ppl will talk about her and erase parts of her character in order to turn her into a cartoonishly evil stepmother. You don't have to like her, you don't have to think she had anything but bad intent, but don't talk about her if ur just gonna ignore or change part of her character because for some reason u can't fathom her not being 100% rubbing her hands together maniacally laughing evil. (Especially considering Elara barely has any character so like how r u just missing shit that easily?) And it doesn't just stop with her. It happens with characters in every media! Alicent Hightower gets half her character IGNORED because god forbid she not be 100% evil and u feel anything but hatred for her! Sansa gets demonized for shit she did at like 11 like come on. I mean hell, even characters from children's media get demonized for existing (like I'll never forget hearing that ppl HATED Mable Pines for being what? an annoying 12 year old?)
Ppl also love to claim they stan or love female characters but in reality they only love that character in relation to their male love interest. If she ever goes against her male love interest then it turns into "she's such a bitch" or "she's so selfish" like I mean thats literally what happened to Mikasa the moment she "turned" on Eren.
Idk im so tired of ppl stanning and loving evil male characters and finding every which way to justify their actions but then going out of their way to make female characters WORSE than they actually are.
#once again u don't have to like any female antagonists u can hate them idgaf#but don't include them in shit if ur just gonna mischaracterize them to such an extreme that they become ur OC wearing the characters skin#I feel like such an idiot talking about this with a character like Elara because I know that to an extent I turn her into an OC#And my only defense for that is I try to base all my assumptions about off of lines in the text and notes from the author#it just drives me crazy the way ppl will ignore certain things in the text that humanize her even just a little bit because it's like they#can't fathom her not being this purely evil stepmother figure#she's not a good person she's not even an ok person but she also isn't the caricature y'all make her out to be#don't ask me to link anything of like where I've seen the mischaracterizations cause idk I was thinking and remembered stuff I saw a while#ago and got upset lol#also idk don't comment on this being like “actually ur wrong blah blah” I literally dgaf im venting leave me alone#either agree or keep scrolling like I don't need to hear that im actually being stupid and delusional#it sucks so bad liking a character like Elara because I feel like a dumbass defending her cause she is pos but don't make her even more of#pos than she already is it isn't rocket science!!#vent i guess
stomach churning i can’t handle anymore god awful takes omg
#i know i have iffy takes here and there#but like GOD DAMN#everyday i see a bad take and everyday a piece of my soul dies#how do u read all of these books and then come to such stupid ass conclusions#this isn’t about one take in specific but more like me venting about all the bad ones i’ve seen#i just wanted to complain lolol
have this uhhh very niche fanart of iris cuz i've been reading some rq fanfiction where she shows up. i just think she's neat
are we still friends? this can't end. are we still friends? are we still friends?

Cal makes me feel actually insane like i can’t put into words how he makes me feel i love him so bad he’s jsut so djdjfjsjdjdjdj
#breaks my heart that i will never be able to put into words the pure joy this man brings me#i want to pry his head open and look inside of his brain#i’m tryin to live inside of him like he’s freddy fazbear#i want to put him in a box and violently shake him#like maven is cool and all but Cal evokes an entirely different emotion from me#my feelings for maven usually r just sad and little else he doesn’t bring me the same joy Cal does#Cal makes me feel like exploding#my only pookie that isn’t a grown man/woman age 30+ going through something worse than hell itself#i love him so bad he’s going through the absolute most and blame himself for all of it i love him sb
some people are taking "doomed" to mean "dead". this is actually a misconception! you can be doomed even if you don't die! it's sometimes worse if you don't die!
when you’re complex women and you’re in love with each other……… listen alicent and rhaenyra OWN my brain
He served cunt. Nasty, descrepit, rotten, fetid cunt but he did serve it
why is explaining a villains sad backstory always taken as an effort toward excusing their actions. why does the conversation need to involve the question of excusing anything rather than just making their present behavior way more interesting by complicating their feelings or their motivations. why is acknowledging complicated feelings or motivations taken as apologism in and of itself. why is everyone so incredibly boring
thoughts on Persephone and Demeter lol
it pisses me off SO BAD when ppl make “feminist” retellings of Hades and Persephone where they turn Demeter into a helicopter mom who actually!!!! was!!! the!!! bad!!!! guy!!! cause like yeah guys in order to empower the woman who is kidnapped and tricked into staying in the underworld we should demonize her mother???? and romanticize her kidnapper???? I just don’t understand why when ppl want to rewrite myths to be more feminist they still resort to demonizing one woman in order to prop up another man. It’s gross and weird!
When I was “I want him” about a male character im not saying I wanna fuck him. I want him like a spoiled little girl wants a pony, I want to him so I can put him on my shelf for safekeeping, I want him like a good hearty stew on a winter’s evening, I want to put him in a jar and shake it.
