"They’re incestuous aliens, Duncan. Blood magickers and tyrants who’ve burned our lands, enslaved our people, and dragged us into their wars without a mote of respect for our history or our customs. Every pale-haired brat they’ve saddled on us has been madder than the last, god knows how. The only thing a Targaryen can do for this realm is finish on his wife’s tits". - Raymun Fossoway

Im enjoying the longevity of tumblrs recontextualization style of humor. a seemingly innocuous post followed by like "posts that a gnome would make" or like "are you a phone"
More from the notes:
I love this post

im sick to my fucking stomach. look what they did to my girl
no cos baran starting her first fucking day by bringing in bagels for the entire department and leaving alone and crying in her car I am going to punch God.
Often father and daughter look down on mother (woman) together
They exchange meaningful glances when she misses a point
They agree that she is not bright as they are, cannot reason as they do
This collusion does not save the daughter from the mother’s fate

Fucking misogynistic writers, for fuck's sake, because imagine taking a woman who is politically active, strategically aware, and deeply invested in succession power and just… reduce her into a softer, more reactive role. The greens only exist bc of THAT WOMAN, they don't just "happen" she BUILDS that whole power base over years and in the show they turn her into a servant for the blacks open the gates for them and abandon her children.
Book Alicent is all about her kids first not in a “holier than thou” way, but in a raw, protective way where she’ll actually go to war for them if she has to she doesn’t sit back or stay passive, she pushes, and fights for their future because that’s what drives her. Her love for her children makes her fearless and is her biggest motivation and that what makes her more interesting and sympathetic bc she's a mother.
No but really, y'all seeing this, right?
It's a cry out against misogyny but finishes saying this character of the female designation can only be complex and SYMPATHETIC due to her capacity of procreating? Due to her capacity of fulfilling the single thing most people believe to be the only function a woman has? Y'all that dense and basic, I can't believe it. So stupid oh my holy Jesus and his mother too.
A mother first a woman second, you see... It's the maternity that humanizes her existence and validates her desires and even justifies her actions, because only through motherhood and what she will do as a mother her existence can be valued, because wanting power and seeking wars in search of said power is only acceptable if a woman does it to protect her children, right? Cuz how dare the writers make this female have any other desire and function besides mothering? How dare those pigs make this woman character exist in a world that doesn't rotate around her children? That's what women are for, take care of the children (doesn't matter they are all adults now and one of them is a mass murderer maniac and the other is a rapist) they are her babies, why is she not laying on the sword to protect her children? Why doesn't she love them unconditionally, above all, why is this woman having personal desires when she has CHILDREN?
Y'all love throwing words around here cuz you heard someone else say it and you don't even know what they actually mean, you bunch of little babies crying mommy doesn't love her children above herself, crying misoginy when y'all are unable to hear the cry is coming from inside the house.
WE ARE SO BACK, BITCHES!
Just to make it clear, in this house we support Alicent Hightower and that's it.
"oh but she a bad mother she abandoned her children a mother would never-" Listen, I don't care about the unsolved psychosexual questions you have with your mommy and Alicent has nothing to do with it, go fight Freud on this, hell fight your mom on this.
"oh but but the book" still a very real and attainable thing that exist in this world and you are allowed to fuck off and go read the book, it did not cease to exist, go on, FUCK OFF.
"oh but Rhaenicent is toxic" yeah everyone is, every single bitch in this barnyard is as toxic as Chernobyl, pick your poison and go on... Just go on, between her toxic ass sons and her toxic ass ex, I, personally, rather she stay on the side that might get her fucked by the hot angry dragon queen, she deserves some fun.
"Oh but GRRM said" who cares? His bank account doesn't, his very very very rich ass is not losing anything, his silly book still selling, people still buying his AI packed one hundred nine nineth edition of an sixteen year old book, he still not writing Winds and trying to create a smoke screen with the fire that he set off himself, nobody cares.
YEAH, WE BACK.
I'm very amused whenever I hear someone say "HotD ruined Aemond's cooperation with the other Greens, it's one of the best parts of the book and now they are pitting them against each other for NO REASON."
Like... first off, what cooperation? Rook's Rest? You mean where Aemond had Vhagar fall upon Sunfyre and Meleys at the same time, nearly killing Sunfyre and Aegon? Or when Aemond was named Prince Regent, wore Aegon's crown, and said it looked better on him than it did his brother? Or when Aemond refused to follow Criston Cole's advice and split from him to burn the Riverlands in a giant genocidal temper tantrum instead of joining with Daeron in the south? Literally when has Aemond ever shown any willingness to cooperate with the Greens? Just like the show, he is on his own side and it's painfully clear. It's like people are making up shit to get mad at the show.
Secondly, I feel like people are a little too Black vs. Green-brained. To me, having the Greens all be on the same side with less internal friction is like asking for no internal friction between Cersei and Tyrion. Sure, Aemond is far more antagonist towards Aegon than Tyrion and Cersei are to each other, but I find that a lot more compelling than everyone getting along. Let things be messy, I love the mess.
Anyways, Aemond looks really sexy in his new armor in the trailer. I wasn't a fan at first but it's starting to grow on me and it fits the aesthetic of the show and makes Aemond look even more draconic than he already was.
Im so glad the trailer dropped so all of the most insufferable people in this fandom can come crawling out of their holes and preach about how great the targaryens are after everything akotsk did to say the exact opposite.
Shhh not a word, they can hear you... don't speak of them... Shhh they are attracted by it...
As its fourth installment closes on a toothachingly sweet ending, once more Bridgerton fails at selling its main storyline and makes all the other side stories shine brighter than its Cinderella-esque romance.
It's female lead is as perfect as they come, a flawless pearl, pure as snow and as dull as it ought to be. Far from the misguided but passionate Daphne, the imponent and micromanaging Kate or the ambitious hypocrite Penelope, she even fails as a protagonist to come close to the impact of the supporting roles of the tiresome and opinionated Eloise and the rigid but quirky Francesca, as Sophie breaks out of a swan's eggshell she is born into the narrative as the most pristine glass of tepid water.
Our Cinderella is doe eyed, soft spoken, gentle and small and the little personality she has is stripped clean of her as the story progresses and worst of all she is quite aware of her position at first and goes on to lose it piece by piece, it's almost like a self inflicted naivete that we see grow in her as she is pushed around by the narrative, as her own person follows into having zero impact on her own story, she is pushed and shoved around doing nothing but smile sweetly and play coy when necessary to forward the narrative she is trapped in.
And that is a loss.
At first she is shown to have a strong moral compass on the matter of becoming a mistress, as she says she would never put a child into the world to suffer the same fate as she did, it doesn't matter as she fails in keeping her own values and characterization as she risks it all for a mandatory sex scene that lacked all but the corny soundtrack, a scene that is only less contrived than the many "circunstancial" encounters of the pair as the hand of the author is a more prominent feature than the couple's chemistry.
I know it is an erotic-romantic story and it's audience cares little for anything but beautiful gowns and hot people fucking but as the writers get more aware of these circumstances, the more dull and lazy the narrative becomes... The stakes are lower than Benedict's self awareness as he tries too hard to convince anyone he is a grown man now and he does so by pouting at his mommy and throwing tantrums at his brother, the show tries to show us his new found values and understanding of the world he lives in as he yells to defend Francesca's autonomy but fails to be convincing as we know he never cared for his sister's plights and still doesn't care as he is warned over and over that following the path he is in will jeopardize the safety and prospects of the younger girls in the family, all the bravado is not about defending Francesca of a demeaning situation, all his squeaking and shouting is about him not being able to fuck his baby sister's maid in the open.
Funnily enough it is never brought up that he could just LEAVE and be happy, no landed money, no noble titles, no "My cottage", of course no, he wants to eat the cunt and the cake too and I get it is part of the fantasy that a working class girl will become rich and never work a day in her life but it just becomes tiresome when the whole drama could end if he just accepted that love conquers all and went on to live a life of less luxury and drama...
As the show glazes over a class dispute it fails to point that noble titles are generational but they are not given by god, they are given and upheld by the "Society" Benedict now despises but it's not willing to let go as the root of the show is not a commentary on social disparity in a unjust economic system, it is beautiful gowns... And parties with beautiful gowns and orchestral covers of pop music to dance in the beautiful gowns.
And let's be honest he doesn't despise society because he watched Daphne fret at the prospect of an unmarried life, nor because he watches as Eloise is demeaned and silenced, or because he watched Francesca's terrible circumstances, he is mad because he cannot fuck the maid and keep the life of privilege he so adores to have... Not yet at least, we know he will because again the stakes are none.
And fair enough, but it's hard to have any emotional investment in a narrative that is about a cardboard FMC being tossed around like a ragdoll, propped and positioned perfectly for the next scene and a MMC that is nothing but a shallow attempt of a conversation he was never part of.
Also it is oh so boring that all the reckless bisexual brat needed to get his act straight was a virgin girl batting her pretty lashes at him. Fuck off.

You know I think a chronic problem with male ASOIAF fans is that a lot of them have never talked to their mom or grandma or any sex worker so they don't seem to realize that abuse and exploitation exist regardless of legality or societal values. "It's legal for Robert to rape Cersei so why does she consider it rape why does she feel exploited if it's normal and accepted" well you see rape exists whether it's legal or not, it didn't become traumatizing by virtue of being made illegal. "Why is Sansa so horrified at the prospect of Tyrion sleeping with her" well Chett it's because pedophilia is traumatizing in and of itself not because people suddenly decided it was harmful for shits and giggles. I'm sure you would know if you asked meemaw how she felt about grandpa beating her or her being married at 14 when it was still technically acceptable to do so.
"Omg I can't believe this cunt whore Shae wanted to be paid for her services and used Tyrion to be a gold digger" Well Brad Shae is a disenfranchised woman in a world where she can't exactly go back to college or do doordash, and Tyrion is certainly not going to marry her she kinda needs her own money. Him not paying her is kinda fucking her over massively so yeah she needs to keep the dresses and the jewelry to be able to do a quick getaway in case things turn to shit. I know Tyrion is your Bro but he is not in fact entitled to free sexual labour because he's ugly and sad. Maybe talk to grandmama about what she did before women were allowed their own bank accounts idk.
To me the most aggravating case is that they will come with "in that time it was acceptable..." As if the novels are historical accounts, as if "that time" is actually a time, and of course it is "lightly inspired" by Medieval and adjacent times, read lightly, but it's a lousy argument point to go by because even in Medieval times it was not that well accepted, Margaret Beaufort, one of the most prominent women in Medieval/Tudor Era was a child bride herself and we have many accounts of the huge trauma that it was for her and she even advocated against child marriages in her time... Like not even in the actual "times" it was widely accepted and you want to convince me that this fantastical world really needs this many direct POV of a pre-teen being SAed by her adult husband and worst learning to like it? For what? Accuracy? So were the green fairy children and the giant wolves? Sure. I blame the fans for their weird tendencies but you cannot wish to harvest apples under a fig tree, Grrm was a weirdo too, you have dragons and ice zombies in your world but the point you need to keep things "accurate and realistic" is the overly graphic depictions of women getting brutalized... SURE.
Imagine a bee rn in a hive muttering "the beekeeper is not real because he is not intervening or helping me at all with this disastrous relationship I have with another bee". now imagine that's you talking about the good lord. now imagine a dog with a propeller hat on
