historian and media freak

Sober as fuck at the back of the club going onto Wikipedia and typing "List of birds"

kind of wild how HotD is like “the other nobles will view Rhaenyra as less capable because she has emotions and has not numbed herself to the loss of life. they will act as though her emotions are tied to her womanhood, and therefore they will say her being a woman makes her weak.” and then after every episode I log onto this website and see people going “wow I can’t believe they made rhaenyra cry when she did an extremely hard task immediately after the death of her son. they really turned her into a weak woman. this must be because the show runners hate women” …yall 😭

demanding an unwavering confidence and lack of emotion from a woman thrown into a new and difficult situation as she is actively grieving is you looking at someone having very normal human experiences and emotions (being overwhelmed by new expectations/experiences, being upset by the death of your loved ones, struggling with the concept of taking life) and immediately dismissing those experiences as "the show runners are writing her to be a weak woman.” you are uncomfortable with a woman showing emotion.

many women are excited to get old and weird, but i have great news that it's fully possible to become weird now, before you get old. just imagine the heights of weirdness you will be able to reach in fifty years if you get started now. that's what I think

i obviouslyyyy want a fuil s2 of cloudward ho as much as the next b*tch and we can all dream about the torsewellitude of it all but tbh at this point i genuinely think the most perfect way for it to become canon would be for murph and brennan, in a cloho-based live show, to just already have max and torse referring to each other as Dating or Partners or mentioning moments of their shared life or whatever with zero explanation as though their getting together had occurred between the end of s1 and whatever the timeline of the live show is. and to not tell anyone else and just act like this was totally normal common knowledge
