Syrax Defender™️

I have resorted to sending people asks because Yousef has struggled with getting his gofundme to gain traction ever since they started it 6 months ago. Yousef is not very active here on tumblr because they have a hard time getting stable internet connection where they are and he's not very familiar with how tumblr works, but he does post updates on instagram somewhat regularly. They really need the funds especially since Yousef got sick and injured recently and has not been able to recover fully yet because of their hard living conditions. They want to be able to reach their goal soon so that when the border crossing opens, they'd be ready to pay the fees and leave as soon as they can.

Even if you are unable to donate, I would really be grateful if you can post Yousef's link or reblog the post I made for him so that we can find more people with the means to donate. Thank you very much and I pray that your kindness be returned back to you someday.

HOUSEKEEPING: -> This is not about canon Alicent this is about really common fanon Alicent/Rhaenicent characterizations!!!! do not start that shit with me here!!!!

The amount this fandom, especially in fanfiction, insist on whittling down Alicent to nothing more than a victim in most of your works is hella weird to me. And it’s the way a lot of people will then carry this bias over into other fanfics where it DOES NOT apply. There’s a fic that involves Alicent being 10 years older than Rhaenyra and absolutely grooms her in the story, and yeah she has some conflicting emotions about it (good for her I guess?) and in this most recent chapter it’s revealed a freshly 18 year old Rhaenyra (who already has two children by Alicent at this point, Alicent is 28) cheated on Alicent once after they had a big fight over OOP, Rhaenyra being manipulated

And the COMMENTS, the comments were FULL of people being like “I hate Rhaenyra she’s so stupid I’ve lost all sympathy for her how could she do this to Alicent she’s so fucking stupid I’m now 100% on Alicent’s side” and I’m literally not exaggerating. Pages of it

I was, appalled? Aghast? Dumbfounded? I really hate how a lot of this fandom just reduces Alicent to “must be the victim all the time” which is a serious disservice to her character, and Rhaenyra must be the perpetrator of all harm all the time.

And are we ready to talk about how that reeks of internalized misogyny and “perfect victim” mentality yet orrrr? Cuz why are we constantly making the more fem presenting person in the relationship the victim (author intended or not) and the more typically masc presenting person constantly the perpetrator? (Author intended or not)

But naaaah people wanna tell me it’s not that deep, cuz the very concerning pages of this mindset about a grooming victim shouldn’t be cause for concern or anything, silly me I guess

Stop arguing with me in the comments when I just make a simple statement when you don’t even know what you’re arguing about!!!

Me: Helaena is stronger than most of the other characters in the show cuz she’s got cool dreams and also likely magic powers :)

Some person in the comments: fighting me about literally nothing and calling me stupid and cussing me out because I? Said Helaena is powerful? My brother in Christ it was a Helaena edit, you’re gonna have Helaena glazers in the comments, whyyyyyyyyyyyy

Helaena Alys and Brynden are the Fates

A Spider spins the thread

An Owl watches and measures the length

The Raven comes in the end

Anyways I’m insane about the haunted girlies of ASOIAF

The love was there

It didnt change anything. it didnt save anyone. there were just too many forces against it.

A lot of us know how this is supposed to end. It’s a sad song, it’s a sad tale

It’s a tragedy

But we still hope, we still cheer and weep and rage and theorize and hope in the face of all this despair, because maybe it will turn out this time! There is still hope there is still a chance, even in the face of fate we still want to believe it can change.

And one day it will

In the ashes of a funeral pyre

In the light of the rising sun

It will no longer be a Dance
