Cause you like that shit? You know how disturbed you are, Marie? You may have gotten clean but you still haven’t figured this part out. Why you love being hurt, traumatized and fucking eviscerated? It’s not normal. It’s not healthy, and it permeates every aspect of our relationship. The way we talk, the way we fight, the way we fuck. I’ve dated some damaged people in my life, Marie. But none of them wanted to be debased and degraded like you. It’s nothing to be proud of. So stop fucking smiling because you look like a clown.

really speaks to me personally
girl who has only the most normal relationship with time and memory and regret and grief
brendan fraser is absolutely right for not going to the golden globes. even (and especially) with his nomination
they made him into a joke, mocked him for being assaulted by their former president for years and called it "just a joke". so fuck them
january is one of those months where you experience every feeling on the human spectrum and you just have to go about your day like that isn't happening
no bc i couldn't figure out how to put what i was thinking about everyone dogging on season 2 into words, but this is exactly it
Hot take: I think it's genuinely funny that people are upset about season 2.
Like you're upset that we didn't see Rhaena tame Sheepstealer? That's kind of the point. She's supposed to be exactly the same as Sheepstealer, wild and desperate, and we needed to see how she became on equal footing as the dragon she's meant to tame. You didn't like Daemon at Harrenhal, but his journey was paramount to his character arc. He had to get a bit haunted along the way, but you said that that wasn't your Daemon. Uh, yeah, that was kind of the point.
I feel like this is an instant gratification issue. Disastisfied fans want the ending as soon as possible instead of enjoying excellent storytelling.
And let me tell you, House of the Dragon is excellent storytelling.
Season 2 wasn't bad. You're just impatient.
