Now I'm not a book purist by any means, and I can appreciate the changes the show has made for what they are. But I can't help but mourn the relationship between Aegon and Aemond (and Dearon).
In the books, Aegon and Aemond loved each other. Aemond was loyal to his brother to the end. When it came time for him to assume the title of Regent, he made a cheeky comment about the crown looking better on him, but at the end of the day, he never tried to take the title of King. When Aegon got back into power, he wanted a statue larger than the titan of Bravos (which is 400 ft), coated is gold, made of Aemond (and Dearon).
To see that brotherly relationship be twisted into what it is depicted on the show is sad in my opinion. As someone who has siblings that I love very much, despite getting deeply annoyed with them sometimes, seeing poor sibling relationships hurts my heart (especially between half-siblings; I have a half-sister who I love and have a great relationship with. And I would never even think to call her my half-sister in real life because, to me, adding that "half" diminishes the value of our relationship).
I do understand and appreciate show!Aegon and show!Aemonds relationship from a narritive stand point. And I think it's interesting how they have a different view of their lives growing up. But at the same time, I feel like this is just another way the writers are dogging on Team Green. By depicting Aegon and Aemond's dynamic as being worse than Daemon and Viserys', it comes across as another way to paint the Greens as inferior to the Blacks.

Alicent's (supposedly) redheaded child is not the same as Rhaenyra's brown-haired children.
I want to start off by saying a part of me still thinks Ormund may be dying Dearon's hair red. For 1, even if Rhaenrya's never seen her brother, she would have at least heard about him having red hair. And 2. seeing as they have depicted Ormund as hating the Targaryens to the point where he sees Dearon being tainted by having Valyrian blood, it's not far out of the realm of possibility that the man would not want Dearon to walk around with silver hair. However, if his hair actually is red, I'm not mad at it.
Now I've seen way too many people saying that Aliecent's reason for sending Dearon to Oldtown as a baby was not actually because she wanted one of her children to be raised in her image after already having 3 kids who were nothing like her. They think that the real reason Alicent sent him away is that if everyone else knew Dearon had red hair, then her argument against Rhaenyra's sons being bastards would fall through. And it's just like...that's not in any way true. (I've actually seen some people claim the Dearon is a bastard, but I'm gonna just dismiss these claims as being ragebait, because that literally makes no sense whatsoever). Alicent having a child that has her coloring and other features that match her is not the same as Rhaenyra having 3 kids that not only do not have her coloring but also do not have the same coloring as her husband (nor do they look like their grandmother, I know some people like to claim the Jace, Luke, and Joff's appearance can be explained away by Rhaenys having dark hair, but they're wrong. Rhaenys has black hair and purple eyes. Rhaenyra's sons have brown hair and brown eyes and other features that are not in line with the Valyrian look).
A mother having a son who looks like her is fine, but a mother having a child who does not look like her, her husband, or anyone in their family is questionable.
Last night, every time Dearon was mentioned, I could only think of Jane Grey and how this ended terribly for her. For those of you unaware, Jane Grey was a cousin to Mary and Elizabeth (Henry 8th daughters). On his deathbed, their brother Edward tried to change the line of succession, but it never went through the proper channels, but that didn't stop the people (mainly men) in Jane's life from conspiring to make her Queen. Jane did not want to be Queen but was unfortunately coerced into going with the plot, and she was Queen for 9 days before Mary took back the throne and killed her. While it's not an exact copy of events, it's quite similar. And one could argue that Aegon is also like Jane Grey in that he was coerced into taking the throne; the main difference is that once he took it, he wanted it and fought for it.
Despite the short time we got with her, I love Aemma Arryn. I wish we had gotten more of her before her untimely demise; it would have given her death more meaning.
I know some people would have you believe that it's just TG that's crazy or the reverse, and that it's TB who is crazy. But as someone who has interacted with both subgroups, I can confidently say it's everyone in the entire fandom as a whole. Both show watchers and book readers. Now obviously not every single person in the fandom is on bullsh*t, but enough of them are to the point where you're more likely to come across someone who is on bullsh*t than someone who isn't.
The moral policing in this fandom is ridiculous, and I can't stand it (can't stand moral policing in general, but this fandom takes it to a whole new level). I have seen people call those who support Aegon II rapist/ rapist supportors, and that's just crazy. To accuse someone of being a rapist/ someone who supports rape just because that like a fictional character in a fantasy world is egregiously disrespectful to not only that person but to actual victims of rape. A rapist is someone who inflicts actual harm and trauma on the world, and to just assign that label to people so cavalierly is disgusting, and this type of casual use of words is how important words lose their meaning. Like the things people have said about and accused Tom Glyn-Carrny of just because he's doing his JOB and doesn't outright hate the character that he plays is disgusting, and those people should feel ashamed of themselves.
The need these people have to be morally superior to others just because of the character they like is exhausting. Liking a villian/antagoist does not make someone a bad person in real life, the same way liking a hero/protagonist does not make someone a good person in real life. Like, if we want to go by this ridiculous logic, then everyone who supports both TB and TG is a bad person because both sides are part of the Ruling class that suppresses and oppresses a large part of the Westerosi population. Like, do you hear how crazy that sounds for me to accuse you of being a bad person because the FICTIONAL CHARACTER(s) that you like are oppressors 😐🤨.
This moral policing is why multiple fandoms are dying. Fanfic writers are disappearing and taking their works with them because people don't like certain characters and ships and therefore think they are morally superior to those who do like them. This needs to stop. If you don't like a story, character, ship, or anything else, DON'T INTERACT WITH IT. Interacting with fictional media is a choice that no one is forcing you to make. So if you see something you don't like, then KEEP SCROLLING.

“Rich kids should go to public schools. The mayor should ride the subway to work. When wealthy people get sick, they should be sent to public hospitals. Business executives should have to stand in the same airport security lines as everyone else. The very fact that people want to buy their way out of all of these experiences points to the reason why they shouldn’t be able to. Private schools and private limos and private doctors and private security are all pressure release valves that eliminate the friction that would cause powerful people to call for all of these bad things to get better. The degree to which we allow the rich to insulate themselves from the unpleasant reality that others are forced to experience is directly related to how long that reality is allowed to stay unpleasant. When they are left with no other option, rich people will force improvement in public systems. Their public spirit will be infinitely less urgent when they are contemplating these things from afar than when they are sitting in a hot ER waiting room for six hours themselves.”
i think hazem got shadowbanned again. he hasn't even raised €1k and tumblr seems hell bent on making sure he never reaches his goal. please don't let them get away with it!
(his younger brother ^)
Hazem Khalil (@hazem1999sblog) is @bilal-salah0's friend. Bilal is verified by Nairuz and Hussein. He's legit. His old blog, @hazem1999, was shadowbanned and he had to remake just a few days ago. Now he's getting error messages when he tries to send DMs. This is really, really bad.
His entire family has been stuck in Jabalia refugee camp in northern Gaza for months. Now the cost of living has skyrocketed and the means for survival are scarce. His family cannot even access drinking water or food. Tumblr is taking away his only source of income during the genocide.
They need €50,000 as soon as possible, but its been 10 days and they haven't even broken €1k.
Please reblog this, follow his blog, read his previous posts and donate. We can't let Tumblr silence him.

My Family in Gaza: Stuck in a Vicious Cycle of Pain, Displacement and Death
I experienced the traumatic experience of displacement four times with my family in Gaza before I was evacuated alone to Ireland with the help of my Irish college.
No words can describe the fear that engulfs us when we see thousands of leaflets in our sky dropped from Israeli warplanes ordering us to leave for other places that are just as dangerous. It is a tedious and terrible process of packing everything we need, begging bus drivers over the phone (mostly with a feeble phone signal) to come and pick us up at any cost. Unfortunately, displacement and running from death became the daily routine of adults and children alike in Gaza.
When displaced, sniper bullets and indiscriminate heavy bombardment are not the only risks that face my family and other people. Another life-threatening problem facing people in Gaza is the sewage flooding the streets of Gaza after Israel deliberately destroyed most of the infrastructure. This led to the spread of fatal viruses and diseases like Poliomyelitis as announced by the Ministry of Health in Gaza.
It pains my heart that my beloved city Gaza has turned into an apocalyptic ghost city where innocent people, children and adults, are indiscriminately killed daily. It is shocking to see this becoming normalized and the extent to which the world has become desensitized. What happened to humanity and human rights?! When will we see a ceasefire and be able to hug and reunite with our families?! When will we wake up from this never-ending nightmare?
The Lifeless corpses of innocent Palestinians decompose in the streets of Gaza and under the rubble. These bodies become food for stray dogs. I wonder what hopes and dreams the person had before he was killed. Did it hurt? Was he scared? Was it fast or painfully slow?! Does he/ she have children? Does his/her family know?!
Was he/she unlucky to be in the wrong place at the wrong time?! Most importantly, how does one decide what is a wrong place and a wrong time to be when every place and every time in Gaza is wrong?! Survival is nothing but a matter of luck in Gaza.
Imagining that this could be the fate of my family makes me go insane with heart-stopping fear!
With the increasing escalation in the region, hope for a ceasefire in Gaza fades away and I have to live every second of every day with the haunting thoughts that my family could be the next to leave this cruel world brutally. Therefore, I am exerting all efforts to get them out of Gaza and hopefully reunite with them in Ireland where I am continuing my studies.
I cannot do that without your help. Decide today to play a significant role in saving my family in Gaza including many children with a prosperous future ahead of them.

Meet Karam Rafiq Al-Nabih, a resilient 23-year-ol… Ziad Okasha needs your support for Help Karam and his family
Hello dears I hope you are all well please help me!!!
I am Ahmed Halas from the besieged North Gaza, I have created my campaign to help my family and save them from the suffering they are living. Our lives, hopes and ambitions have been destroyed, our livelihood has been destroyed, we have lost dear friends and many relatives, our house has been completely destroyed, we live in a plastic tent in the middle of an UNRWA school and we suffer from the heat of the sun which causes headaches, migraines, body allergies and many diseases. There is no food, water, medicine or basic life requirements and the prices are terribly high, we cannot afford to buy anything.
In the meantime, this fundraising campaign has been started so that people can donate so that we can regain momentum in case the unfortunate circumstances cannot be fixed. Ahmed Halas and his family have already registered and are likely to be called to leave soon. This money is for their evacuation. Let's aim to evacuate them all together!!!
Hello dears I hope you are all well please help me!!!

Ahmed's message:
Hello, I am Ahmed from the Gaza Strip, I am still alive after ten months of war. This is my fifth war too. But this war is unlike any other. I am trying to raise money for me and my family, as we are determined to leave to safety while this disaster continues. We want to leave the Gaza Strip towards Egypt through the Rafah crossing and Hala Company.
This was a very difficult decision for me, but this is my fate and the fate of my family. I feel ashamed to ask you to donate enough to save me and my family of 20, most of whom are young children, by raising enough money to reach safety. "Hala Company details are at the bottom of the article." Please participate, even if it is a small part. Donate any small amount, share my photos, share your story, anything that makes a difference. I have complete hope in you and your generosity.
Father Fathi suffers from heart disease, diabetes and high blood pressure, and son Mahmoud suffers from back and cartilage pain, which is why he does not have a medical mattress due to sleeping on the floor, which makes him feel severe pain.
Oh my God, what happened to us, I lost my memories and dreams that I have dreamed of for a long time, my house where I lived my childhood, nothing remained inside it, it was a pile of fire, and I lost my source of livelihood and my baby clothes store was completely destroyed, which led to the accumulation of debts that I was committed to from merchants that I obtained a few days before the current wave of war.
Note: Ahmed will try, when the circumstances are complete and I collect a sufficient amount and I am able to reunite the entire family here in Gaza, by moving my family to a safe place and regaining some comfort or trying to go to Egypt, knowing that the cost per person now is $ 5,000 for an adult and $ 2,500 for a child. The price may fluctuate. Please help us by donating even the simplest things or by participating in our campaign, and I will be grateful to you

Hello, I am Wafa from Gaza I would like to take just two minutes of your time to share my story with you … Wafa abuelreesh needs your suppor
€0/€100,000
@wafaaresh reached out for help boosting her new campaign
Wafa has started this campaign to raise funds her her family's evacuation. The funds will cover evacuation costs for her, her parents, her siblings (6 brothers and 5 sisters), and her siblings' children. The money will also help afford necessities and medical treatment for her family.
Wafa had graduated from university and dreamed of traveling, but her ambitions have all been destroyed. She and her family have also lost their stores and home, both destroyed by the Israeli occupation, leaving them without income and proper shelter for these past 9 months.
Her family has been displaced more than 10 times since the genocide began. They are without access to food or drinking water, and many members of her family are suffering from hepatitis and malnutrition.
Her mother suffers from chronic hypertension, needs daily blood pressure medication, and needs surgery for varicose veins in her leg. Wafa and her family cannot afford her medication or surgery at this time.
Wafa's gfm and her account are new, and I wasn't able to find any verification for her so I talked with her to try and verify her campaign. She gave me the information I have restated here, and I'd like to include the photos she sent me as well.
This is Wafa's little sister, Sara (the girl pictured in the cover of the gfm) with their brother, Mohamud, and his son, Abood. The photo was taken in their house. You can see more of Wafa's house in this post. The background of the photo matches the home shown in the video.
The next photos are of Wafa's younger brother, Mohiy. He had an operation on May 20th, 2024 for a a gallbladder operation to treat his hepatitis and severe pancreatitis. She has told me he has recovered from the pain he was suffering from and that he is in a better condition. Here are the photos she gave me of him. The first is before Oct. 7th and the second is after his operation.
Please donate and help spread this post around. Wafa's campaign is new and needs attention.
Shahed Muhammad @shahednhall is a 21 year old college student and photographer who has now become the sole provider for her large family. She has five younger siblings and two parents who have fallen ill. For the past few months she has been fundraising for her entire family to escape genocide. She just signed her family up for evacuation with the Egyptian Hala travel agency but they told her if she doesn't provide the full fee soon, her family will get split up!
If the threat of her imminent death and/or family separation isn't enough for you, @journalsforpalestine is running a raffle to give away an ornate journal , @magnus-rhymes-with-swagness is offering commissions, and @quicksilver is running an art raffle. i am also offering commissions, check my pinned post.

Hello again, I am Aseel from Gaza, I live in war, fear and destruction, we have been living for almost a year now but we do not know how long, we have been displaced from our home more than 11 times,
every time I was displaced to another place I prayed that this would be the last, but then came the idea of forced exit to search for safety where there is no safety, we got very tired and our bodies were exhausted, we no longer had the energy to continue, we lived hunger, thirst, cold and all the difficult conditions that humans cannot imagine,
we did not imagine that a day would come when we would live all of this, I lost my family and my childhood home, even my friends are no longer there, I was left alone!! I am looking for salvation from death, I fear death and I dread it, the idea is terrifying to leave your dreams, ambitions and the life you planned for and go from this world, we do not deny death but we do not want to live it now,
I had a beautiful life, suddenly I do not know how I lost my life, we live in a tent that can only accommodate 3 people, made of nylon that no human can bear, just standing in it for more than two minutes during the day is enough to melt you, in addition to insects, diseases and lack of privacy, imagine all this!! Can you live??
Things here are more difficult than you imagined, reality is painful
We wake up every day to the smell of death, I have been surrounded by tanks and helicopters more than 4 times, each time I do not know how to survive? It seems that my death has not come yet
I do not want to die!! 🥺
Please help me save my life and get out of here, life is impossible
Your donation will save my life, it is the only way, hand in hand we can achieve the goal please
