Ryan Condal Telling GRRM That They Couldn't Include Maelor Because He Didn't Want Another Toddler On

Bad news for me:

I'm out of work.

Good news for y'all:

I'm out of work!

Since I have a lot more time on my hands now until I can find another way to make money, perhaps even find a way to follow my dream of monetizing my writing, I can get back to publishing storys on here.

While I haven't been updating on here it's not because I stopped writing but mostly because I had redirected what little creative flow I had (after the trainwreck that was season 2) into writing scripts for my own version of House of the Dragon / Fire and Blood shows.

I currently do not plan to release those, at least not until S3 is out, but I have regained more motivation for writing so I'm back starting today.

I'll be releasing my teased one-shot "Broken Bonds | Maelor x f!highborn!reader x Aemond x Aegon" that I had teased A LONG time ago here tomorrow.

Don't hate me for the long wait please. Its just the first (and so far only) type of story that I have written like that. The latter half of it hits a sore spot in me and I struggle to continue writing and editing when I'm crying lol. That's why I usually just write horny storys or some drama.

But this story is one that I do want to share with others so I am now pushing myselt to stop re-editing it time and time again in an attempt to get it "perfect" and just post it. It will be the first thing to go online after I've finished editing and will be followed either by new Chapters of Mother's Madness or a new story called Redemotion (Maegor x f!noble!reader).

See you soon. Love y'all <3

Brb gonna go cry again 😢

HOUSE OF THE DRAGON 1.07 | 2.01 | 2.02

Do you know where "the book is team green propaganda" came from? I often see this in the fandom in discussions

The showrunners themselves said this 🫠

Ryan Condal specifically called at least Blood and Cheese and the Aegon/Sunfyre bond propaganda, as in, he believes that women lie about their trauma and Alicent somehow got to the historians through all of this and lied about what she and her family went through (and apparently made up a grandson 🥴) with the specific purpose of slandering her ex bestie of three years/enemy of decades, despite the fact she apparently would kill her sons to reconcile with her... and he says the stuff about Sunfyre being beautiful and Aegon choosing his golden banner based on their strong bond was "Westerosi historical propaganda."

Basically it's their justification/shutdown of critics for what they view as their own superior writing changes to the story. These writers are high on their own fumes and their ego is so inflated that they think they can write ASOIAF better than GRRM himself (despite the fact that Sara Hess admitted she never even watched Game of Thrones and took no consideration of the universe when creating her own narratives in this show).

This also stems from this "maester conspiracy" where people believe a select group of people high up in society are secretly controlling things from the shadows and calling the shots... and like all similar conspiracy theories, this is actually deeply rooted in antisemitism.

It's very unlikely that a large number of people, even maesters, could collaborate in secret and all agree on set things in order to completely rewrite history... and there's the fact that the historical textbook Fire and Blood was written by GRRM as the in-universe definitive source on the real history, using a variety of sources including historians, eyewitnesses, survivors, and royal household staff, in which there are people sympathetic toward both sides of the Dance.

Despite all of this, writers and fans are convinced that somehow all the sources that paint TB in a bad light are fictitious propaganda while at the same time accounts that paint TG in a bad light are taken at face value, and vice versa: parts of the story that recount TG as doing something for realistic reasons, being Targaryen dragonriders with bonded dragons, or even being a loyal united front as a family are apparently lies and stolen from TB in order to make TG look better, so the show "corrects" this by giving it all to TB.

Really wild that anyone can think the author of a series known for his anti war, all characters and sides are morally gray, and each character is conflicted in their heart about love and duty stories apparently purposefully wrote a story where war is justified due to actual prophetic divine right... some characters are completely good and others are completely evil... and their motivation really changes whenever the plot or writers need it... and he did all of it by purposefully crafting a story based on lies for no reason.

And well, we already know that GRRM has some opinions about how stuff like this has failed the story.

I waited 2 years for this?!

actually since condal&co insist so much on calling f&b "team green propaganda done by evil maesters", that ppl actually repeat this bullshit, then i'm gonna start calling hotd "an awfully written team black propaganda done by bunch of dimwitted egomaniacs"

"[aegon and aemond] need each other in their own way. they have a weird love for each other. both of them would stab each other in the back just for self-gain"

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
