We're just over two months out from GOT 8.04. Despite a hiatus I feel no better about it. Missandei's murder--and later, Dany's--changed me in a way I don't like. After years of building up our hope and attachment to these women, the show's final season was based almost entirely on shaming, ostracizing, frightening, abusing, and finally murdering Missandei and Dany. The Night King was a footnote. Cersei was no threat at all. No, the real conflict of the season was everyone vs Dany and her followers, and even now I can't get over it or understand it. Missandei died brutally, totally innocent of any wrongdoing in her short life. Dany, also brutally murdered, was killed at the hands of a man who deceived her so that her last thoughts were of fear and betrayal. And Dany's legacy was destroyed so that no one save Yara and the Unsullied were shown to grieve her, because she was turned into a despotic tyrant in the eleventh hour in an attempt to justify her murder. The ending tried to say that nothing she did, none of her achievements mattered in the long run. She only paved the way for someone supposedly better. For men.
I know everyone already knows this. I know a million metas have been written about this. But I (and I imagine it's the same for many of you) am traumatized by this even now. With Dany in particular, they took a female figure who was such a huge pop culture icon and role model for so many women and snuffed her out like it was nothing. Her death wasn't even really the climax of the finale. And not only were Missandei and Dany killed, they were killed for no reason. Why did I have to watch the only black woman on GOT get her head chopped off? Why did I have to watch the main character stabbed to death by her boyfriend? Their sacrifices did not herald some new and more peaceful world. Unlike other violent or tragic stories, the message is utterly hollow. There is no underlying theme, lesson, or reason to what happened. And after spending most of a decade latched onto these characters and drawing strength and hope from them and the greater story of GOT, I feel forever changed by this. After all this time, nothing has really improved in the way women are treated and portrayed in popular fantasy like GOT. And I feel like I'll never be able to consume media with the same sense of optimism and hope that I did before, or with the same attachment to characters and stories.
I've been watching Big Little Lies, for instance--a story that I once connected with deeply because it is about strong women and women who take revenge on an abuser. But as I watch it now I have no hope of them "getting away with it," no hope that Renata won't lose the wealth she earned because of her shitbag criminal husband, no hope that Celeste won't lose her children after finally escaping from domestic abuse, no way that Jane's sweet new boyfriend won't turn out to be duplicitous. I feel like everything I watch now, I do with some kind of dull, detached, what-the-fuck-is-the-point attitude. I expect disappointment and garbage. Hate that for me. Hate D&D. Hate how powerless we are about all of it.
Honestly my "friends" can go fuck themselves sometimes
I know I don’t have some fancy neon sign announcing I’m writing shit. Nothing to really grab attention.
In fact that’s just it. I’m not that kind of artist. I don’t produce that kind of attention grabbing art and that’s precisely why no one really notices or pays attention to it/me.
I’ve known that for a long time, and I keep fighting it. Which just burrows me further into the rut I get myself in where I can’t fucking produce anything, be it writing or drawings or whatever.
Those sketches from the other day, with the transformation prompt? Had it been one of any number of the other artists around here that probably would have blown up. But no one expects me to create anything beautiful or eye catching so they don’t watch for me.
Instead I produce blocks or writing, pages long, that a lot of people just don’t feel like reading. Reading takes time. Appreciating art can be done in seconds and it’s over and the person can move on to whatever catches their attention next.
I need to calm down

oh fuck @soughtserenity 's post on why rafe still blames sarah so much for what happened ( especially ward's death which baby boy please sit the fuck down because your father did the absolute most since it seems like before you three were even conceived so lmfaoo ) has me thinking about how toxic his need for ward's approval was . like he was ignore sooo many red flags in his dad but also call so many out . but because he still blames sarah so much for stuff , it makes a lot of sense of that being a highlight of how bad his trauma bond is with his dad because who put sarah on a pedastool which clearly is showing signs for rafe's entire life ? sarah .
he doesn't go at wheezie like that at all even if her appearance on the show is limited ( which ???????????????????????????? ) . but he goes at sarah like craaaazy .
Full offence but if you’re non-American and tell me any “joke” about school shootings, you are the worst type of person, I will probably never talk to you again, and I genuinely hope your socks are slightly wet for the rest of your life.
Shut up about things you don’t understand.
