as i remember it most GoT fans at least had this grudging respect for people who were "playing the game" like we all pretty much agreed littlefinger was a shitstain of a human being but there was respect because he played like a pro. and its because there was this general consensus where we'd all agreed to register that these characters absolutely have to maneuver through their world as it exists. that they ideally should be aware of the pros and cons of their social circumstances, never ignoring that the game MUST be played, always looking ahead and moving their pieces into position.
but people are mad at ME for applying these same conditions to HotD. for recognizing how poorly Rhaenyra plays the game, and judging her for it. I enjoy Rhaenyra a lot, but she is totally politically inept and im going to continue to vent my frustration about it. Having obvious bastards was a bad move. Not preemptively making alliances or involving herself in governing was a bad move. Being hostile toward her siblings was a bad move. Idc if you think her defying social expectations was just so girlboss of her. It put literally everyone around her in danger, especially her own children.
Some fans are only too happy to suspend their modern social lens for all the incest, grooming, and marital rape yet they apply it to literally everything else, especially rhaenyra and alicent's characterisations.
Maybe it's just me but about bullying in teen media. The bullied kid is really often bullied all the time, their life made a hell for all of high school or middle school. It's probably just my school experience speaking but there should be a character that is bullied sure, but like, inconsistantly. Like you are bullied but there are long periods of time when you aren't bullied or mocked.
In elementary school three seperate people use your head as a leaning support and people call you a drawf but you're all friends and the teacher compliments the class for being so friendly and close. You remember how at 10 an older kid was holding your throat and lifting you up and when you told a teacher, she smiled like "well, oh no". Then people mock your tastes but then one or two other people like your music too so the mocking just stops. Then in middle school some kids take your backpack and hide it, throws snowballs at your head and get people to call you names. And then the names stick so much that your elementary school friend calls you that just in passing, not even thinking about.
And it is bullying, you know that but everything takes place in such a long timeframe that you kinda forget it happening. Then at like 16 it all stops and people act like respecting people is the norm and no one is bullied at your school after that. So when people talk about bullying or shit, you say you weren't bullied because now it feels like kids just being assholes. And there definitely were people getting bullied much worse than you so it feels like you can't say anything. Then two hours after you get a flashback to middle school where boys would hold every other girls' hand when learning ballroom dancing except yours because you were the gross one idk.
Probably real fucking specific or something but like a story about bullying where the bullying is different from just dumb jock pushing you against a locker or mean girls isolating you through psychological warfare that teachers just cannot see.
Are you a "Mike pays special attention to how much Will talks" truther or a "Will is much more talkative around Mike" truther?
The most cunning and terrifying fisherbears in all the land
there's something absolutely heartbreaking about taylor phrasing the feeling of losing a fundamental part of your life as a woman to an abusive man that took advantage of the age gap in the relationship as "Give me back my girlhood, it was mine first" because it just SHOWS how young she was, it's phrased as one of those things that little girls say like "Give me back my barbie, it was mine first" i don't even know how to explain this properly but that shit HURT ME
oh to have a fraction of the swag the average background character in sleeping beauty does
I need more Silly season 3 Steve Harrington with Eddie Muson because you know Eddie would love it but also be so confused. Like King Steve has a personal Handshake with Dustin?? King Steve giggles?? King Steve is sassy and wears strawberry lip gloss?? This is not the person he hears rumors about, King Steve didn't fling his arms around so much, king Steve knew how to flirt with girls. What is going on?? And why is this so attractive??
I also need more Mom Steve and Eddie Munson. Imagine Steve has to bring something to Dustin at school and Eddie is walking on the table when there a shout "Eddie Muson! Get down before you break your neck!" Steve just stands there with hands on his hips, The kids rolling their eyes like God Steve stop being such a mom. Eddie doesn't know what to do so just sits down with a quiet "Yes, Mommy." Pulling his hair in front of his face. Then Steve pats his shoulder, maybe even a little kiss on the forehead with a "Good boy." Says hi to the kids before leaving.
Eddie is screaming inside, the whole cafeteria is confused and Steve doesn't realize what he did until he's laying in bed later that night.
Turns out King Steve Harrington is kind of weird.
this is like 100% petty all things considered but i just can’t wait until some of u learn that it is absolutely normal for people of any age to refer to their dads as “daddy” in many parts of the south like it isn’t a red flag there. 60 year old women in my family still refer to their dads as “daddy.” and btw i think anyone should be allowed to call their own fathers whatever they want without someone either making it nasty or being accusatory like don’t you get tired of making ppl uncomfortable for no reason
