Keep It Movin...

Has Rhaenyra even noticed Rhaena has been missing for weeks lmfao. Women in male dominated fields (deadbeat stepdad) but like Daemon also reacted to the news of Simon Strong but not one of his fucking kids being presumed dead. Incredible

She’s supposed to be with her brothers in Pentos. Why would Rhaenyra think or know she’s missing?

bc jeyne arryn should have told someone she lost one of the royal children but they wanted a paper thin excuse for rhaenyra not to have guessed who sheepstealer’s rider is immediately

I’m confused by what they’re doing with Jeyne. Like that girl’s father was right in her face and didn’t say she might be in the mountains somewhere. I’m just confused with what they’re doing with everyone at this point.

Nesta and Cassian fucking right after the kelpie assault was Nesta self-medicating with sex AGAIN but no one thinks of it that way since it’s Cassian, the person she’s “supposed” to have sex with.

It was an amazing chance to properly develop their relationship past lust and maybe even give Cassian some emotional maturity but nope. Rough sex. Nesta doesn’t care if he hurts her because she wants to feel anything but the emptiness and fear from the mask and assault and he’s too happy to oblige.

Cassian was chosen as her warden simply because they suspected they were mates. In Frost and Starlight, Rhysand said there’s some strings needed to be pulled to make Cassian happy, who at the time was all forlorn over Nesta (even tho he only has himself to blame as to why she won’t give him the time of day). Nesta BEGGED for them to choose anyone else and they refused. The whole “intervention” and subsequent imprisonment wasn’t for Nesta. It was to make Feyre and Cassian happy.

The whole thing after the kelpie sickens me. Especially Nesta’s thoughts before she has sex with Cassian. It is clear that she’s reverted to using sex as a way to self-medicate but Cassian is only too happy to have the rough sex with her he’s been wishing for since acomaf. Nesta tells him she doesn’t care if he hurts her and it never clicked that she was using him to harm herself. But as long as it’s Cassian she’s fucking it’s ok.

It very much gives “War of Northern Aggression.”

One thing I really didn’t understand is that when the Blacks took “Daeron” hostage they just… left Tessarion with the army? Like would you not want to kill the dragon that is bonded with one of Aegon’s heirs? Is it just me or was that kind of crazy? It does not seem in character for Daemon to just let the dragon go even if he believes that he has captured her rider. Thoughts?

(and that's on using this bs as a writing crutch bc being a loyal adaptation that allows its female characters to be flawed, deep, or feel like actual humans is too hawrddd)

Agreed.
