Keep your head up

love how in this episode the aemond and aegon scenes are them having a pissing contest in their minds over the other being the favourite of their mother meanwhile alicent is in the castle like helaena i love you the most please abort this baby like i wish i aborted your brothers

imagine being tired as fuuuuuuuuck from walking for weeks in the cold and wet riverlands woods covered in leeches no horse no nothing and now you have weeks of walking ahead of you yet because your brother in arms gave up gay vacation with you to lead his suicide cult down the righteous path to nowhere so it’s time to hit the road destination: your insane evangelical uncle ser denys raenolds of the Hightower and your sensitive nephson who is getting talked into becoming the doomed figurehead of a failed evangelical reconquista and you’re going to die at that too because war is hell and also you have omega rejection sickness

Imagine a reach lord hating valyrians so much he glazes a dornish woman and refers to dornishmen as the in-group. Besides the child abuse and the war mongering and the religious fanaticism and the misogyny and the classism and the hostages and the murder and the public indecency and the occupation and the toxic work environment and the theft Ormund is literally so progressive. woke king. Vote Green No Matter Wheen

when the blackberry bushes have thorns to discourage mammals from monopolizing the consumption of their fruits and encourage birds to spread their seeds but they don’t know that the mammal in question is ME #notdiscouraged

because Ormund Hightower getting in his teenage nephew’s face and coke ranting about the glory of the Hightower Reconquista that he has made up in his head that they are divinely ordained to accomplish to because of their special blood and no one understands but them IS exactly how Daemon was moving with fifteen year-old Rhaenyra in the first season of this show. kind of insane
