This fits more with Daemon's character than many ideas from the showrunners.

Ryan Condal was so focused about his shitty f/f baiting fic that he proved he knows absolutely nothing about how a royal court works by having Rhaenyra being completely isolated in a palace where she should be literally surrounded by other highborn girls in her circle, before and after marriage. He really thought a royal court was a Rivendel high-school or some shit. Why is Rhaenyra alone? Where are her ladies? Never mind, let's erase all of that for some made up relationship that is literally killing one of the main conflicts in the plot and serves nothing to Rhaenyra's character, why not?

Okay fuck it if this post reaches 666k notes by the end of 2023 I'll practise basic self care

So ancient Egypt’s best friend basically was called Punt. They traded all kinds of fun stuff with them; ebony, incense, gold, silver, myrrh, leopard skins, baboons for pets… and the Egyptians wrote a lot about the land, the people living there, what their houses looked like, records of trading expeditions to there (like, robust, oceangoing ships with thousands of men); they wrote down everything imaginable about this place… except for where it actually was.

And this is why historians love, really love, those incredibly dull people who write in their diary every day about what they wore and what they had for dinner and how many miles away their friend Mr So-And-So’s house is in that one village. Because they are the only ones who *do* write down what was in the third spice jar, how many miles away this now-nonexistent village was and so on. Seriously, the diaries of really dull people are HISTORICAL TREASURES OF OTHERWISE LOST MINUTIAE.

I keep using my girlfriend with unusual work hours to get out of coworker interactions and happy hours and hanging out.

I like that people have two reactions to this post.

Apparently you can’t solicit a date as a “gig”
