Ill never tire of sketching my fave girl 🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️

cutting Nettles and merging her storyline with Rhaena's was purely motivated by a desire to protect Daemon and Rhaenyra ("Daemyra") from the audience's judgment.​Of course that’s what it was! The showrunner himself admits that the main focus was to avoid an "infidelity storyline" because he believes the audience "really wants to see this couple work out."​Claiming that it’s "interesting to pair a wild dragon with a noblewoman who becomes wild herself" sounds more like a script excuse to give Rhaena screen time than organic development. In the books, the dynamics between Nettles and Daemon added massive layers of ambiguity (was she a lover, a daughter, or a protégé?), something that is completely lost by putting his own daughter in that role.

Accurate tags OP

basically it’s just literalizing the way that the bodies of highborn women and girls are regularly traded/sold for political gain through marriage pacts and alliances as an inherent part of how the ruling class functions (sansa and tyrion, dany and drogo, “arya”/jeyne and ramsay, lysa and jon arryn, cat and ned, alys and sigorn, edmure and roslin, arya and elmar, etc.). unless of course those women intentionally or unintentionally transgress those social boundaries in any way, in which case they’re quickly discarded and treated as objects of blame and disgust (losing their perceived honor/virtue/purity if they have sex or children outside of marriage) because women and girls are reduced to their physical bodies and the reproductive labor that is expected of them, so the blame for sex beyond the confines of marriage is placed entirely on them. and now sansa’s own body is being used as a weapon against her in the most literal way possible. lucky girl.

2 am thought: he's gay and he wants to fuck men and i know this for a fact. and also a misogynist
