I haven’t been talking about the world cup but trust I’ve been watching almost every game, cabo verde are my babies

we almost had it, we almost had a cabo verde victory, I’m so proud as a lifelong fan of two weeks

Listen I’ve said since day 1 I’m watching this like a soap opera about Targs blowing themselves up and they can change shit if they wanna and I’m not saying chunks aren’t fun to watch but the total lack of internal consistency, completely hollow supporting characters, unwillingness to commit to their own changes, outright refusal to develop literally any relationships, huge events only having an impact as long as they’re actively on screen, and now casual use of sexual violence as a lazy way to prod a scene forward……it gets to a point. I’m not even doing an “ummm achtchuyally in the book” a lot of this is wholly preventable netflix style writing mistakes

I don’t know, man, everyone’s glazing season 3 of house of the dragon but I really don’t think it’s good I think the choices they made back in season 1 are coming to a head and not in a good way

I really stand by the fact that having alicent misunderstand what viserys meant when talking about aegon has completely ruined the entire show nothing can come back from it

I see what the show runners are doing, really zeroing in on the fact that Westeros is ruled by misogyny and that rhaenyra and alicent are constantly being undermined by the men around them, but all it’s done is make the women of the show deeply uninteresting and boring and frankly, pathetic

i don't really want to weight in on the "using big words in your writing is ableist" discourse happening on tiktok because i'm like 90% certain it's an anti-intellectual psyop to stir up drama in online circles to promote the use of ai to summarize literally everything and thus feeding the LLMs and lowering the populace's mistrust of such tools but i also have to say: dictionaries and thesauruses are the most accessible they've ever been. if you use an e-reader of any kind you can look up a word without leaving the page. there's a plethora of online dictionaries and if you just type a word + "meaning" into google it'll usually give you a definition. we used to have pocket dictionaries we used when reading in class. i have two on my shelf right now that i used in high school. stop letting the fascists purposefully misuse anti-ableism rhetoric to trick you into never thinking again.

Daemon: Rhaenyra listen to me I saw a blond girl with dragons. A blond girl with dragons Rhaenyra. Now that may not seem at all unusual or miraculous to you or me probably because all our dragons are still alive and we have no reason to think anything is going to happen to them but would this woman who roofied me 58 times in a one week span have lied? Do you think she’d show me a tree man without cause? Do you think people are just blonde for no reason? Exactly. Now put your shoes on, we’ll avenge Jeremy
