duty + sacrifice

rhaenyra transgender btw

id love to see that but this is definitely Alys Rivers seducing Aemond

my sons ranked from most to least hard to love

god's weakest soldier is scrolling tumblr instead of being productive or participating in any of their hobbies

I think it’s fun that everyone on house of the dragon has transcended who viserys thought should succeed him and it’s now like whoever the blood god has selected to be the king through maximal slaughter inflicted on a 30 square mile patch of riverland

Aemond looks more like a Targaryen than everyone on all three shows combined, you gotta give him that. ​He takes that shit so serious I feel like he was born with fully defined cheekbones, bruised Alicent’s pelvis on the way out and mogged the midwife instead of crying

The whole “of COURSE HBO will pit Rhaenys and Visenya against each other which would be misogynistic and bad to do” school of thought is sooooo mystifying to me. stories need conflict or else it’s just two hours of height moments aura and kneeling

they are literal sister-wives in an incestuous polygamist feudal dynasty marriage in which despite being capable of conquering and ruling in their own right their brother-husband controls most of what they do and their relationship with him kind of entirely dictates their personal and political futures. Even though they have to put up an entirely united front at court. No conflict there though #girlboss

wouldn’t it be more misogynistic to tell a story in which they were entirely cool with it the whole time and loved the insane patriarchal structure of their personal lives sooooo much you don’t get it

No I think they should come into conflict with each other too. Women are people. People put into rigid hierarchical systems designed to engineer conflict and competition between them tend to fight. People who have to co-rule a kingdom with another person with different personal and political values than them tend to fight. People in weird enmeshed incestuous family networks that are also feudal dynasties tend to fight. The idea of them getting along at every junction just because they’re women is so beyond lame
