hiatus

that didn’t end up in the tags sigh

it has nothing to do with the link, right? like, i remember that if you include a link on the post the post won’t show up in the tags but if the link is still a tumblr ~page~ like your own blog it should still appear 🤨

Casual reminder that Dany and Arya are got/asoiaf’s best girls.

I am going to reblog this post every time it comes across my dashboard. Jon just stood there and did not even extend credit to Dany after all HER hard work. She brought HER dragons to the North and trained them to battle. However, it “muSt bE” only a man who could do that, right?

Self-awareness at it’s worst; knowing you’re an asshole or letting an asshole thing happen with complete awareness of how much it makes you an asshole.

@khaleesiofthegreatdairystate As per the show’s narrative, Dany’s reaction here was meant to be seen as an indication of her emerging madness and evil. We know that from the reactions they gave, for instance Varys. Which means that Jon is probably meant to be seen not so much as guilty or ashamed in that scene (much as we may be inclined to think that is natural) but rather apprehensive that she’d go insane and ballistic. We don’t see her like that so we wouldn’t see it in that way. But this would be more in line with the season 8 Dany retcon. It was starting this episode that everyone was suddenly to start seeing her as crazy, Sansa to see her perfectly natural political moves of legitimizing Gendry as evil, Tyrion to suddenly be afraid of her, and Varys to believe that she must be going mad.

also notice how they used useless fan-favorite Tormund to once again set up a false dichotomy comparing Dany and Jon: “Who would get on a dragon? A madman or a king.” If we can look past the gendered language (another issue they purposefully wrote in) the question we’re supposed to then ask is “of the two dragon riders [ignoring how dumb it was for Jon to be riding a dragon and have 0 people wonder if he was also a Targ] which of these is the madman and which is the king”? And they’ve dropped enough false dichotomies with the inappropriate usage of the “gods flipping a coin” quote (which is bs even in context I don’t know what tf Jaeherys was on when he told Barristan that), the constant beating of Aerys’s dead corpse with insinuations that Dany’s gotta be like her father, etc. etc. with that line alone they’re supposed to be pitting everyone else against Daenerys and making the audience think she’s going “crazy”
