currently rereading agot and I’m so sick at how often sansa begs for mercy by promising “I’ll be good, I’ll be a good girl, I’ll behave” like it literally happens in every single chapter (and this is BEFORE she becomes a hostage). meanwhile she lives in constant terror of doing something wrong, she’s repeatedly reprimanded by septa mordane for questioning ned because god forbid she turns out like her “bad” sister arya. and then people turn around and mock/punish her for being naive about ned’s plan, even though she keeps ASKING why he’s doing what he’s doing and everyone just tells her to shut up instead of sitting her down and explaining to her why she needs to have her guard up. SHE is the one who was betrothed to joffrey, surely ned can take five minutes of his time to explain to her why he doesn’t trust joffrey or the lannisters. but somehow sansa telling cersei about ned’s plan makes her stupid and naive and traitorous…lord please take sansa’s pain and give it to gregor clegane.

Author’s efforts to take part apparently stymied by application protocol, but he still plans to attend Worldcon
So George RR. Martin is in the news. He's upset that Glasgow WorldCon didn't call him back. What the Guardian and other outlets desperate for a bit of clickbait leave out is the mountain of context to this. So I'm going to give you some.
GRRM has already burned every bridge needed for special treatment. How? With an absolute train wreck of a hosting job at the 2020 WorldCon in which he butchered the names of awardees, wore silly hats as he rambled pointlessly between powerful speeches by actual award winners, and ranted about the good old days name-dropping old pals of his who are unwelcome in writer spaces because of reasons.
The backlash on social media against George R.R. Martin's hosting of the 2020 Hugo Awards was swift and fierce. Here's why.
Now until not so long ago that wouldn't have mattered. A big old name like George could have just rung up his old pals who run the show at WorldCon, who have been around for decades like him and reminisced over how things were better before "you know", and they'd have done some wrangling to ensure he didn't have to queue up for slots with all the pleb writers (you know, the ones winning awards and hitting best-seller lists today instead of a decade ago).
Except they're all gone now. The old guard have been swept out. Why? Because they fumbled the 2023 WorldCon so hard that their overt corruption and underhanded practices hit international news:

So they got dropped as fast as people good as the Hugo Awards, and WorldCon by extension, faced possibly its biggest ever PR crisis of legitimacy, putting the new Glasgow WorldCon committee in the inevitable position of trying to patch things over.
That means they have to be entirely stainless. Everything needs to be done by the book, the book needs to be open for everyone to read, everything needs to be transparent, no special favours, everyone gets treated as equals.
Including George RR Martin.
Something he, apparently, wasn't able to handle and so went to his blog to have a sulk. Did he intend for it to hit the national papers so he could bully the Glasgow WorldCon organisers with his big sulk whilst they're in the middle of what might be the most stressful WorldCon organising process in its history with its future hanging in the balance?
Maybe not, but he definitely knew that that's what was going to happen.
GRRM's entitlement is the picture of everything wrong with the old guard that the Hugos and WorldCon needed to move on from, yet another reminder of exactly the mentality that made the 2020 hosting job such a disaster.
Writing shouldn't be an industry of celebrity authors throwing their weight around, skipping the line, and trampling new talent under them with a wink and a nudge with the organisers who they're pally with. The Glasgow WorldCon team has enough on its plate without having to also pander to the egos of people who evidently don't care much for the future of the genre.
Good on them for standing their ground. I'm sure it's going to be a fantastic event, and I'm looking forward to what the future of science-fiction and fantasy actually looks like.
Also "freezing him out" the only thing they did was ask him to submit an application to be considered for panels, with the understanding that it wouldn't be guaranteed. That's it. They weren't banning him (he's still attending) or refusing to let him do anything, they just said "fill out this form and we'll get back to you" and he didn't do it, so they didn't put him on any panels.
I hated Viserys from the moment he did this, and I'm amazed how many people didn't. "omg look he called Alicent by the wrong name, he still loves Aemma really, you'll never be her". WHAT. He had his 'beloved' wife horrifically butchered because her primary purpose in his life was still just being a walking womb. The show deliberately contrasts his behaviour with Daemon's - who cared about Laena I'm sure, but she wasn't his great love. And he still let her have full autonomy over her own body at the end.
If she was waiting for him on his deathbed, I hope it was just to slap him then wave him off to the hells.
Laena was able to get up under her own power and immediately seemed freaked out when she spotted the maester talking to Daemon so while it didn’t seem like Daemon would have done it Laena did not seem sure of that. I agree though, their behavior is almost always 1:1 - Viserys has other people restrain and kill Aemma, Daemon intentionally paralyzes Rhea and beats her to death with a rock. Daemon marries Laena only a few years after Viserys “virtuously” declared her too young and married a girl only a few years older. Viserys gets so angry at Daemon blatantly grooming Rhaenyra that he attacks him (“she’s just a girl and you ruined her!”) meanwhile he did that and worse to Alicent while pretending he didn’t notice she didn’t want to be there and Otto was the one forcing proximity until he gets angry with Otto and blurts it out. They’re two peas in a pod except Viserys is a coward trembling behind a veneer of affability because he hates conflict and needs to feel liked whereas Daemon is pretty honest about what he’s like and seems convinced that it’s everyone else that’s only pretending at civility (an impression he probably got from Viserys). Viserys even seems to have deluded himself into thinking he’s done nothing wrong to the extent where he “sees” Aemma’s ghost welcoming him with open arms as thought he hadn’t fucked up for 40 straight years whereas when Daemon has visions of Laena and Rhaenyra they’re always accusatory and he looks visibly guilty before lashing out again. At a base level Daemon clearly feels things more deeply than Viserys.
It’s a shame that this is completely dropped in the show in favor of everyone having rosy memories of Viserys. To be fair that could just be denial because he just died and it’ll start to crack the more they think about it but future reasons should address things like whether or not Rhaenyra knows he had her mother held down and tortured to death for a male heir to replace her, and Alicent’s violent resentment of him bubbling back up (and did Alicent know what he did? Imagine carrying this man’s children four times with the full knowledge that he could have you gutted to collect his son if the labor is taking too long and in the end he won’t even look at your kids).
honestly i find it hilarious how ppl were like traumatised from got s8 and when hotd came out they were like thank you hotd writers for actually making a good show (but they literally didnt make a good show) and when s2 rolled around they started hating it and WORSE they felt righteous in doing so bc grrm also didnt like it (someone tell him that once you sign the rights away for that phat hbo paycheck... you have no control over it!!! you wanna have more control? write a better book!)
and now akotsk is out and everyone is like omg i know got flopped in the end and hotd flopped too but now theyve got it now they finally made a good show (THEY LITERALLY DIDNT) like why do ppl never learn ?
when s2 rolls around and theres lichrally not a single targaryen other than egg and maybe aemon i KNOW ppl are gonna be like this was boring, bla bla bla... and its bc ppl dont enjoy hotd and akotsk as tv shows that stand on their own merit (because they dont lmao), but as a look into different times in westeros and esp how the targaryens used to be. i wish ppl woukd realize that before putting all their faith in another batch of showrunners. guys they just want to conrinue the got ip. THATS MY OPINION!!
HOTD might have an unstable crown but Akotsk has everyone from smallfolk to Lords Paramaount to 13 year old girls and toddlers playing on the floor walking around saying the type of shit that got Vaemon Velaryon’s head bisected and none of the Targs can do anything because they’re regular people and they need the good PR, which crown prince Baelor was so keenly aware of he died trying to brighten their image. Aerion was seething over a puppet show less because he’s insane and thinks he’s a dragon and more because he’s also keenly aware and very resentful of their diminished status (even if his brain interprets that through thinking he’s a dragon), and on top of that he had to have an actual trial for hurting a peasant girl and a hedge knight. Maekar’s audible disdain for andal judicial customs while Baelor pointedly insisted upon respecting them communicated a lot. Direct comparison with Aerion’s plot to Daemon killing his high born wife and crushing his own awed foot soldiers under Caraxes’ claws with no regard or consequences but when he went out and saw a mean play about his family he sincerely just thought it was funny

Can I speak my truth. I don’t think Brienne is even a little gay. I think she’s a kinsey zero who false positives on everyone’s radar. I think if you dropped brienne into new age 2024 she would get treated as a lesbian in her day to day life but whenever a woman liked her she’d be like. Ummmmmmm I’m really sorry but I don’t. Feel like that. I think she’d give lesbianism the good old college try bc of the direness of her male love life and come down firmly on the side of not attracted to women. I think she is quintessential pnw woman who you think is a slam dunk homerun lesbian based on everything about her who drops the word husband on you. I think she gets clocked on sight and mentions a partner named Jaime which makes people go. Okay. Partner i know that game. Jamie easily the name of a lesbian. Easily. And then she drops the he pronouns and you go. Well. Could still be a weird lesbian. And then Jaime is a business major in a frat with generational wealth. And HE is the kinsey five in the relationship.
What if you wanted to be KING but your niece and nephews were BASTARDS and your brother was GAY and STUPID and everyone HATED you and you couldn’t find a DENTIST for your teeth you ground down and a PRIESTESS told you to kill your DAUGHTER and a CLOWN was there
