A war being mutually destructive and devastating =/= both sides being equally in the wrong. The Dance progressed to a point that victory couldn't be anything but phyrric and the two factions came undone yet that doesn't preclude us from identifying the agressor and the victim. Who drove the realm to war by contesting the claim of the named heir, by explicitly going against the will of the monarch, by holding their coup in the dead of night and leaving the king's body to rot in order to preserve secrecy ? By murdering a prince under the peace banner, by allowing and applauding treachery and oathbreaking ? Intent matters. Acknowledging that conflicts aren't always a result of some inherent moral wrongness on both sides despite how the toll of war may deteriorate the participants also matters. The original will and motivation of the people involved is not made meaningless by the cost and evil of war. In the end, that's what's worth remembering.
Edit: Anon lifted @desaretaa’s twitter thread about this.
Exactly.
If that wasn’t enough, GRRM made it obvious in the story as the Greens' bloodline went extinct when Aegon II was killed, but not the Blacks'. Viserys II, son of Rhaenyra and Daemon, was succeeded by his son Aegon IV. Aegon IV was succeeded by his son Daeron II. Daeron II was succeeded by his son Aerys I. Aerys I was succeeded by his brother Maekar. Maekar was succeeded by his son Aegon V. Aegon V was succeeded by his son Jaeherys II. Jaeherys II was succeeded by his son Aerys II, who had a daughter with Rhaella named Daenerys Targaryen. Dany is Nyra’s descendant. It’s not a coincidence, there’s a message here guys about the fact Rhaenyra’s bloodline is still alive in the ASOIAF novels.

The siren call of making a funny joke about The Character™ vs the fear that people will see your silly little joke as the be-all end-all of your understanding of The Character™ and assume you don't understand them on a deep level (and be mean about it)

Hello, my name is Dr. Sahar. From Gaza 🇵🇸🍉. I used to work in my pharmacy 🚨 but the occupation destroyed everything and now I need your support and donations on this link for me and for the patients' needs of medicines and injections. I want to gradually rebuild my life after everything was destroyed. You are the hope, you are the giving. Thank you for your generosity and support for us. Thank you very much 💚❤️
amina @freepalestine96 has asked me to make a post on her behalf. amina is a very sweet mother of three struggling to survive under the occupation's current genocide.
all of her children are under the age of ten! and her son nasser is currently suffering from malnutrition since there's no food entering the strip!
her campaign is VERY low on funds, only 4% funded. imagine having to care for three babies in the hell they've made of gaza! give all that you can. it's winter and things are dire!

DOES ANYONE HERE KNOW WHAT VAN ECK'S PROBLEM IS??
I am Haitham Awad, writing to you today with a heart full of pain and hope at the same time 💔💔. In Gaza, where children and families live in dilapidated tents 🏚️, suffering from hunger 🍽️ and bitter cold ❄️. Children in the prime of their lives are facing a daily battle for survival, with nothing to protect them from the harshness of winter or hunger.
This campaign was launched on the GoFundMe platform to collect donations 💰 that will help provide what can relieve their suffering. The funds will be used to distribute hot meals 🍲, warm clothes 👕, and health packages 🩺, in addition to providing safe places for food 🏠.
In Gaza, there are children running barefoot on frozen ground 🏃♂️, and mothers shedding tears 😢 for their children who are becoming more vulnerable every day. And we, despite our little, can change their reality 🌍.
Every donation, no matter how small 💖, will have a profound impact on their lives. Your donation may be what revives a child's smile after days of pain 😔, or what restores hope to a mother who has lost hope of seeing her children warm 🥺.
Let us be with them in these difficult moments 💪, and give them a moment of hope and warmth 🌟. Donate now, your help may be their only hope.
Contribute what you can, and do not be stingy 🙏. Let these words of mine be a cry that reaches everyone 🌍. Share my story with others 🤝, perhaps we can light the path of hope for children in Gaza. Every donation, and every participation, brings the world closer to becoming a better place for these children 💖.
