Being obsessed with a piece of media that is so mainstream that it has become ingrained in modern culture is embarrassing as hell. You perk up like "omg they're talking about my blorbo, I wonder if they're in the fandom" and it's literally just a reference to Gandalf the Grey, the most famous wizard of our time

i always thought it was odd that people attacked artists that trump continously harassed even though members of his team literally came out and said they purposefully use the tracks to ragebait and cause drama to bring him more attention

[daffodilshapes]

because these people worship at the altar of performative activism, not meaningful action. It’s the other side of the Trump approach to politics coin and they don’t even realize it.

a story where a woman dies especially by a man's hand won't ever be subversive or justified. she could burn cities and destroy families I wouldn't care. You can try to make it justified within the narrative itself, but considering a woman is murdered by a partner or family member every 10 minutes according to United Nations on Drug and Crime, it's just truly so boring and over used and annoying. We don't need to understand why women get murdered by the partners or family members, we already live in a world where we're incredibly desensitized to the concept. Like ooh my god trust me, women understand more than anyone the violence we have to deal with every day. This isn't new!

It was always going to be hard to adapt a story that ends with the gendered killing of a woman by her relative, a rival male claimant, after the end of GOT—notably Jon stabbing Dany before the Iron Throne because she “went mad”—was so poorly received. But it seems that the way out of this HOTD is trying to use is, “showing us that Rhaenyra being killed is justified”. The lesson they took was that Dany’s madness and cruelty weren’t believable, and so her stabbing was not seen as deserved, so people didn’t like it; in response they have written, or tried to write, Rhaenyra descending into a more believable cruelty and darkness. They have followed the “if they’d foreshadowed mad!Dany properly it would have worked!” criticisms*

You can think what you like but I don’t think it works. Where this falls apart is that what happened to Rhaenyra—beginning with being targeted in her own home by Alicent, and being usurped, which leads to the war and her death—was unjustified and driven by misogyny. I’m not interested in a story about how THIS woman, this time, DID deserve her fate, and we did legwork to show you why so you’ll agree. I would find it far more progressive (and more satisfying) to see a story about a woman being mistreated and then killed and the narrative framing it as horrifying, and gendered, rather than her being put down like a bad dog by someone who—in Ryan Condal’s own words!—is now “more suited to the throne”, since Rhaenyra has been “contorted” by power

*I don’t really think they even managed to do this properly. The characterisation this season has been terrible

The aforementioned Condalism for people who haven’t yet had the urge to rip out their eyeballs today

I know we talk a lot about the literacy crisis and the horrible anti-intellectualism happening rn but I think we need to talk more about how much of an entitlement complex the stupidest among us have developed
