no one knows if art is good or not

[torridturncoat]

occam's razor says that the different framework wrt the war in the stepstones is due to a shift in ethos from characterisational tool (establish both corlys & daemon's partially overlapping ambitions, draw additional boundaries around daemon&viserys relationship, miscellaneous worldbuilding for westeros as an economic entity etc) into pure moral tale. but if one really wanted to think of hotd s1-s3 as a cogent exploration of the damages of war well then ls the meaning here to be taken that the war in the stepstones deserves no moral handwringing bc ultimately it was justified by repelling & killing the orientalised east? shouldnt viserys spend half a dozen scenes meditating on the human cost instead of going out for a hunt & to get drunk bc he did not give a fuck lol?

"I want a fun and lighthearted queer show". The Wire.

"I want a queer show where almost every character is queer". The Wire.

"I want a queer show with a happy ending". The Wire.

"I want a queer show where the main couple ends up together". The Wire.

"I want a queer show where the characters are not reduced to their sexual orientation". The Wire.

"I want a queer show with different types of queer rep, identities and relationships". The Wire.

"I want a queer show with a beautiful romance". The Wire.

"I want a queer show that shows that you can find love at any age". The Wire.

"I want a queer show with the found family trope". The Wire.

Seriously, watch The Wire, you won't regret it. I watched it after Good Omens 3 came out and it healed my soul, it has become one of my favourite shows and one of my favourite examples of LGTB rep in media.

call me terminally academia-brained but i do think a lot of the fun of character analysis is figuring out how to build a compelling argument for a particular reading using lines of evidence from canon as well as meta/intertextual support

[clementine-kesh]

and you could say that what i’m saying here is basically “a lot of the fun of doing character analysis is doing character analysis” but let’s be real a lot of fandom character analysis is pretty heavily vibes-based. and i think that’s where i really chafe up against the traditional thought-terminating fandom attitude of like, everyone’s opinions hold equal weight and any interrogation of that is inherently hostile. because i think it’s fascinating to dig into where others are coming from in terms of their views on characters or dynamics or whatever, especially when they differ significantly from more commonly expressed views, and part of that digging is asking people okay what parts of canon are you drawing from to support your opinion? what parts of canon are you disregarding or downplaying? how does this argument hold up in the light of how race, gender, class, ability, etc. operate both in the piece’s in-fiction and real world contexts?
