“Unsullied!”

Dany galloped before them, her silver-gold braid flying behind her, her bell chiming with every stride.

“Slay the Good Masters, slay the soldiers, slay every man who wears a tokar or holds a whip, but harm no child under twelve, and strike the chains off every slave you see.”

She raised the harpy’s fingers in the air . . . and then she flung the scourge aside.

“Freedom!” she sang out.

“Dracarys! Dracarys!”

what do you mean alina has to wear first army soldier’s uniform. that first army was killing grisha, her people, left and right and the writers made ZERO statement on it.

it’s so unfair that in the books alina was manipulated into not wearing darkling’s color, a man who protected grisha from otkazat’sya for centuries.

but everyone was fine w her wearing simple soldier’s uniform 🤡🤡 at least in the books they gave her golden kefta w jewelry and all the fancy shit she deserved.

not that I remember them all lmao but

god forbid a childbride who wants to put an end to slavery and oppression doesn’t know how to ruin the system of this regime that was upheld in essos for THOUSANDS of years.

the funniest thing is when these ppl tell something like “daenerys (13 years book - 16 years show) is a rapist” or “she’s a murderer” or “she murdered an innocent woman to get her dragon eggs🥺🥺”, like this is pure nonsense

FIRST OF ALL that woman tricked daenerys which caused her losing her baby, what goes after and who she is doesn’t even matter because she did a terrible thing and EVERY person who got 🩸&🧀ed by Daenerys deserved it 🤭🤭

must be sad reading a book that setting up the plot for dragons & targaryens being reborn, the stark children being obsessed with different targaryens and all westeros being concerned by dany and her dragons 🖤🖤

first of all she got less than two hours of the whole timeline of the whole s2 as a main character.

if they made shadow and bone crossed with the crows, which was absolutely unnecessary and dumb decision because they sidelined even crows themselves and didn’t enlighten none of the problems crows themselves suffered like what jesper and nina felt as grishas or what happened to inej. all of it just to lift kaz’s backstory.

and yes, if they made kaz and alina leads, why kaz got his lines from the books and alina got none when originally this show & books were about her and her only

they promised they’d explore alina’s heritage but by some reasons she was the only person who didn’t get any backstory and they left no clue who are her parents and did other sun summoners exist before. sorry I don’t accept the book ending either because alina was only special and leigh left her powerless with some stinky otkazat’sya on a farm.

and what we got? “empty promises” as said alina in s2 but darkling’s promises were real and the writers’ aren’t. even jessie mei li wasn’t much comfortable about the decision of alina’s complete erasure.

I also can write miles of text how badly they treated the actress herself how they made jessie stay the longest on set, didn’t include most of scenes and how they made everyone shoot in a warm clothes (darkling’s death scene) in 35 degrees hot.

what drives me more mad is that mal knows whose descendant he is, why is he like this but NOTHING for alina. and I even know why, because in any case if alina’s backstory was in the book & show the ending wouldn’t fit leigh’s and eric’s narratives (alina’s terrible ending)

alina is the most powerful and the most interesting and the most unexplored character even in the books and I’m so angry they made her asian just to violently sideline her

also as I remember correct one writer was also involved in a show that erased asian character (dc titans?)

the only and only thing about the show is alina ending up a queen, surrounded by grisha and a good husband who may not be her lover but he’s protective, will always listen to her, will never whine , will help her etc (I’ll forever annoy y’all with my darkolina agenda)

I’m from asoiaf twitter and we had a situation a month ago, when team green stans were reporting us 24/7, most possibly using some bots to make more reports (cuz twt doesn’t suspend an acc if you don’t send them 356282829 reports), they also used to buy bots so an actress from their team would win a poll.

She’ll probably lose it in the 3rd or 4th seasons in an even more offensive way, if the show ever gets renewed (here’s hoping it doesn’t)

only good thing about all of it — third and moreover fourth seasons won’t be renewed.

cuz it’s been almost half of the year since march 16 and still no official word about renewal or cancellation (they let it die peacefully😭😭)

and now there’s no way they’d renew because I swear, none of the general audience remembers about this shitshow and this 100% will be a flop if it’s to be renewed

they made Alina asian, promised they’d explore her shu heritage but instead they erased her personality from the books to insert 378392910 scenes from kaz’s childhood, it’s literally not Alina anymore and the way they reduced her to a just ‘girlboss’ because male writer thought it was feminist and progressive 🤡 they erased her strong feelings for the darkling, they erased her ability to make a cut, they erased her humor, they erased her powerful speeches from the books.

erasure of the inej’s trauma…she literally couldn’t normally touch people for almost two books and saying ‘ I want you without armor, Kaz’ after what (a month? because s2 is so fucking rushed) after s2 started. that’s a serious theme and getting rid of her feelings about what happened to her, the depth of her trauma and erasing it just for what…? to show kaz’s flashbacks again? or to make her girlboss because male author thinks it’s feminist?

erasure of jesper’s trauma, his struggle with being grisha, accepting it etc. it took him a very lot of time in the books just to confess that he’s grisha to the other members of crows. he was ashamed because of it and he thought that this is a curse (also this is a key that canonically novy zem wasn’t that friendly to grisha. if this statement is wrong, correct me cuz I don’t remember shit what happened in those books sawry). and then in the show jesper magically accepted who he is, threw his struggles away in two minutes and then brutally kvllvd grisha woman who also had huge struggles, trauma with being a grisha.

THIS SHOW HAD DONE THEM DIRTY, AINT NEVER FORGIVING THAT.

Cersei r*ped Taena, Daenerys r*ped Irri and Daemon (who's ugly af) groomed Rhaenyra, so by your logic you should stop stanning at least three of these characters lmao

first of all — what happened between Irri and Dany was arranged all by viserys, second of all — WTF SHES A THIRTEEN (or 17 in the show) years old childbride, she literally had zero choice in her position, how can u call her a rvpist?

second of all Daemon didn’t touch Rhaenyra until she turned of age by modern standards in both books (whatever version u choose to believe) & show (where nyra was aged up). also how could he groom her if he wasn’t around most of the time? due bluetooth?

+ he was in stepstones most of the time

with cersei — I’m talking about show version only because I haven’t finished the books but judging from what I’ve found on the internet Cersei was trying to take “male” role by her judgement and Taena enjoyed it

they have pretty face? they don’t exist? have you considered that I don’t give a fuck? let women have hobbies?…

that whole discourse with villains bores me senseless. “they are evil & cruel etc” — yes, they are, this is literally why we stan them, I’m not a pro in using some ‘very smart’ terms, so I’ll explain it in easy words.

yes, we like villains because of their nature, because they’re evil and because they have charisma, cunningness, magical, their motives and their character is intriguing NOT FUCKING BECAUSE WE ARE THE SAME😭

also “you like [insert character] because of an actor” — No!?! I like them because of their personality and if I do like them because of an actor, it’s not a fucking crime? yes, we admit we like them because of an actor, that’s the powerful aura lol.

he turned on grisha that betrayed him? that’s pretty OK punishing those, who betrayed you when you were only trying to make grishas life easier.

“he was more cruel in the books, how can u support him🥺”

everyone and everything were crueler in the books, alina too by the way

I’m here to remind that alina cvt that skiff and people that were on it (she wasn’t wrong tho lol)

be fucking for real, how do you expect a 500 years old person, who watched his people executed, experimented on, living in hiding, punished for their only existence, being attacked by king’s soldiers, by fjerdans, by shu literally by everyone, watched his mother abandoning his sister ulla when he himself was a child.

«The air was thick with sand. Dany could not see, she could not breathe, she could not think. The black wings cracked like thunder, and suddenly the scarlet sands were falling away beneath her.

Dizzy, Dany closed her eyes. When she opened them again, she glimpsed the Meereenese beneath her through a haze of tears and dust, pouring up the steps and out into the streets.

The lash was still in her hand. She flicked it against Drogon’s neck and cried, “Higher!” Her other hand clutched at his scales, her fingers scrabbling for purchase. Drogon’s wide black wings beat the air. Dany could feel the heat of him between her thighs. Her heart felt as if it were about to burst. Yes, she thought, yes, now, now, do it, do it, take me, take me, FLY!»
