"[...] maybe there’s even a romantic element to it. maybe he likes to be that wanted. there’s an ego [thing]. it’s dangerous"

psa: after all these leaks coming out, im only writing based on the books now. There is no way in hell that I can take this season as inspiration. What a way to ruin characters and a storyline. Such a waste.
We waited almost two years for this fucking nonsense. It’s just tiring at this point.

louder for the ones in the back
Writers maked Aegon a pedo just because Mushroom said it "99.9% of his words are lie" And I don't have any problem with that ok?
But if they gonna make him a pedo and make people hate him, they also should make Mushroom others words true too.
They should make Rhaenyra have her half sister and step mother raped.
They should make Jace a cheater.
They should make Daemon a pedo rapist who cheat on his wife and then abandon his family to sleep with a 17 y/o.
If they really want to give us the right to choose our team, then they should not discriminate.
They should not cover blacks mistakes and only make greens look bad.
It's not a fairytale book about love and a strong princess who wants to save the world.
It's not about a feminist story with a lesbian relationship between two little girl.
This story is about two fucked up siblings that ruined Targaryens.
It's about two greedy, spoiled and cruel siblings who fought for iron throne.
It's not about Alicent and Rhaenyra, it's about Aegon and Rhaenyra.
It's not about a romance between Rhaenyra and Daemon. It's about how their relationship was toxic and how they used each other.
It's not about a hero and villain, it's about two super villain who been nothing but cruel.
It's about a dumb narcissistic woman and a broken mad man.
It's not about beauty and love. It's about blood and war.
The whole point of this book is to show how awful both side were and why because of two cunt house Targaryen fall.
Aegon wasn't a coward who wanted to escape. He did everything to protect his family. He was the one who fought for his family and survived, he was the one who survived the dragon fire while Rhaenyra literally did nothing and watched as her family died. He was the one who lost his everything for something that he never wanted but was forced to accept because he wanted to protect his family. He lost his family that he tried to protect, he lost his children, he lost his pride Sunfyre, he lost his body, he lost his mind, and he was betrayed. He was the most tragic character in the story yet in the show he's just a pedo rapist.
Rhaenyra was a fucking liar, a whore who opened her legs for any man that she liked, a fucking narcissist, she was literally female Maegor yet they maked her the most tragic who only became cruel after her child died even though she was always a spoiled and dumb woman who just wanted to kill anybody who said true about her bastards. Yet they maked her a fucking saint. A boss bitch with her womanly power. Someone who can do no wrong.
I'm so fucking tired of this show.
I am in blood Stepped in so far, that, should I wade no more Returning were as tedious as go o’er
House of the Dragon S2 (Aemond Targaryen) + Shakespeare
At least no, Aegon can't rape anymore, karma is real 😌🥰
1) If your gut instinct to an actor being uncomfortable with lines about their genitals being mutilated is to say they deserve it because they play a bad person, you are objectively a bad person. Aegon isn’t real, Tom is. And he has to say lines designed to humiliate his character about his penis in front of the whole cast without being warned beforehand and then forced to talk about it despite being uncomfortable. Objectively, that is gross
2) Aegon isn’t a rapist in the real version, it’s Black propaganda in the show (If they can call everything that is in book, the real canon, propaganda, than I can do the same to the show, which is shitty Pro Team Black fix it fanfic at this point). Aegon is a rapist for one reason and one reason only: To make the audience Team Black without question
3) Tom actively tried to stop Aegon from being a rapist in season 1. He read the book and knows the story, and therefore knew that people would never find Aegon sympathetic because there’s no coming back from rape, so this weird, gross “Gotcha!” you think you have Is pointless
"Why should I care about his feelings, when nobody cares about mine?"
- this line by sansa stark is more feminist than any of the tripe hotd has tried putting forward lmao
There will be nothing more disappointing and honestly, offensive as the decision to change Alicent's motivation for putting Aegon on the throne from protecting her children from inevitable bloodshed of those too priveleged to consider the consequences of their actions to "Viserys told me so".
Driftmark was the perfect launch point for her character and its insane that she can watch Vaemond be killed for what she knows is the truth, know Rhaenyra allowed her son to be maimed for what she knows is the truth, and STILL feel indebted to this shitty family of inbred dragon riders.
I really want to like HotD because I really like The Dance in F&B. But as the season went on, it became less of an adaptation of a story I remembered fondly and more of a prequel to a show I did not want to be reminded of. Please stop trying to mcu-ify the show and just tell a self-contained story. I absolutely do not care how this relates to characters who won't be alive for the next 200 years. Your plot and characters should matter and have stakes and motivations that are relevant NOW.
lmao so GRRM's notablog post criticizing Ryan Condal's writing choices has apparently now been deleted. 💀 the girls are fightinggg
"I have no idea what Ryan has planned, if indeed he has planned anything." 💅
