Welcome to the Shitshow. IBlack Lives Matter.

period cramps gender dysphoria on the iron throne was so on the nose but it was good so i dont even care. what if your body physically recoiled at the seat you've placed it upon. what if the literal site where your body touches the throne is soaked in blood. what if you wanted to bring the symbolic phallic sword. what if you didnt because its not who you are. what if you started bleeding the moment you put it aside. how romantic it must be to be locked away in a castle and made to squeeze out heirs. how romantic it must be to be locked away in a castle and finally sit on the iron throne! what if it was uncomfortable. what if you werent made for this because no one is made for this. what if your womb was a grave. what if it was reminding you right now. what if the thing that you have resented as your defining feature your entire life decided to torture you during the moment you've waited your entire life for. your father bled on this throne too when he pricked his fingers on its sharp edges. is that blood any different? your two eldest sons are dead would you like a bodily reminder that you can have more targaryen heirs? isn't that what its all about? more targaryen heirs? more and more and more targaryen heirs? dont you want to give birth again dont you want to live in this castle and squeeze out more targaryen heirs? dont you wish you were your father your uncle your half-brother dont you wish you were literally anyone else. do you think you would have started bleeding if you just brought the sword. do you think you would have started bleeding if you were just someone else. dont forget your father bled too

Dustin all the way, especially with that final kiss. It's so annoying that Elle claims she can't date Dustin because he isn't a normal "option" when she clearly likes him. He isn't traditional, bland, but her mom hates him. This entire season is about Elle breaking away from her mom's expectations and forging her own Seattle based path. Dustin is that, fun, fearless, and feminist. Elle needs to get over the idea that she has to be any one thing. She doesn't need to date the hot jock with the sociable high-class parents, but she keeps going back to the boring guy who ignores her when things get bad.

okay i actually love that elle’s best friend is a lesbian and i’m lowkey starting to dig her and dustin together because he’s great

actually elle (2026) is right, sometimes friction does mean you're in the right place

The show keeps pushing this nothing burger of a character onto Elle when she is much better off with Dustin (or Liz)

Elle and Dustin are so buzzy, the asking to the dance scene had me screaming

i bring a sort of "it's time for me to go brunette" vibe to the sorority house that the other delta nus don't really like
