love is what offends the gods

NO SORRY I'm saving these bc you are so right!! I have such a need for these characters to have rich inner lives that create the outlook of dany's court!! It's about gender, about cultural clashes, but also negotiating these between themselves because they have no one else but each other!! They crossed the Red Waste together, they are IT.

I would have loved to see an exploration of the bloodriders' thoughts on Dany - on the one hand, they lived by might-is-right all their lives, and in a way they still do, but with a twist - "why do gods make kings and queens if not to defend those who cannot defend themselves" etc etc. And they are placed in a situation where they are on the outside of their culture (khos to a woman), while still finding pride and meaning within this role!! Like I need to know, what were their lives like before being part of Drogo's khalasar? Were they comfortable within their paths, were there apprentices or wards or hostages or WHAT. I need to know!

And the GIRLS! Come ON. We had the weird situationship, we had the messy love & sisterhood & what are we! It would have been so interesting to unpack a little bit more of Irri as both a handmaiden and a knight - where do you draw the line? Would Dany even ask for that line, when her own story is so steeped in gender? How would they tackle that?

it is our differences which make us dearer to one another

it is never too late to start loving

the enemy is not the foreigner, but the ones who tell you to hate the foreigner

everyone should have food, shelter, and work

everything is a yin and yang metaphor if you try hard enough

i have a file or folder on my pc that i want to share with other people. let's call it gayshit.mp3

unfortunately gayshit.mp3 is 750mb and im not paying for discord nitro so i need another way to send it

i put it into qbittorrent and it makes a torrent file. this is essentially a very small file that points to gayshit.mp3 so other computers can find it. kinda like a treasure map

i send this tiny file to my friend, who loads it into qbittorrent. their computer takes a moment to find mine over the vast expanse of cyberspace and then (as long as my pc is running and the file is still where it should be), it gets copied from my hard drive to theirs

this is the cool part: if somebody else loads that tiny file, they can download it from both of us. if i'm offline but my friend is on, the third person can still get it. this also means that if two people have separate halves of the file, they can download the other half from each other. as long as some combination of people have the pieces between them, they can all have the whole thing.

crucially this does not require a server!!! you can just upload the file to a few people and as long as they keep it, it's still accessible. as long as somebody, somewhere is still connected, it's available forever. the only way it goes away is if everybody disconnects from it.
