I know it’s not a big thing, but I just done my finals. I just graduated from the university. I’m the first in my family to have an academic degree.

I just can’t. It is a big thing for me and for my family.

After ten years of depression and self hatred. I did it. I never even dared to dream about this. I’m hella proud of myself.

I hate this “no spoilers” culture that we live in right now. Producers and writers are so terrified of fans predicting the ending to their works to the point that they’re making nonsensical endings to their narratives. They’re messy, out-of-character, and outlandish, but, hey! at least they’re unpredictable!

Rian Johnson, The Last Jedi — completely ignored & disregarded the 3-film narrative arc J.J. Abrams has planned out for the sequel trilogy, and instead developed his own messy narrative full of subversions for the sake of subversion, and completely disrespected the legacy of Luke Skywalker’s character (Mark Hamill himself has reported several times that he doesn’t recognize the character).

Russos, MCU — give out fake scripts, actors play against green screens and are cut & pasted together in post, show fake/edited scenes in trailers, throw away previous character development (Thor, Ragnarok vs Infinity War and especially Endgame).

D&D, Game of Thrones — throw away a decade of foreshadowing and character development for shock value, not to mention they missed a whole ass Starbucks cup in a shot in 8x03 (either on set or in post, somebody should’ve noticed this).

I’m sick and tired of this. It’s not good writing, and it’s no longer entertaining to fans when the characters they know and love become complete strangers. There’s good shock value — “No, I am your father,” for example — and then there’s ignoring years of character development and turning a kind and caring character into a murderous maniac. There’s a difference, and I think writers still know what that difference is, but they’re pressured to create an ending that fans can’t predict because of this mass panic over “no spoilers”.

This needs to stop. Give me a happy ending. Who the fuck cares if we guess what comes next? That means the writers have done their fucking jobs. If we can guess what comes next that means the writers have successfully developed their characters and foreshadowed future events as you’re supposed to do in a well-written narrative.

No spoilers? Sure. I like to experience narratives without being spoiled. But don’t make the narrative unrecognizable by the ending. It’s just not good writing.

“Robert’s Rebellion was built on a lie.”

As much as Rhaegar “The OG Fuckboy” Targaryen’s actions provoked the rebellion, it wasn’t just a rebellion again him. It was a rebellion against the tyrannical House Targaryen in general. King Aerys was a cruel and terrible leader with no vision.

I don’t give a single fuck how “in love” Rhaegar and Lyanna were, each major player in the Rebellion was justified.

The Baratheons: Robert Baratheon was promised to Lyanna Stark. He loved Lyanna Stark.

I’m supposed to believe that Robert was wrong for the sole reason that Lyanna wasn’t kidnapped and raped? No, sorry. I ain’t drinking the Rhaegar x Lyanna kool-aid.

I understand Lyanna didn’t want to marry Robert (ironically because he couldn’t keep to one bed *cough* ELIA MARTELL *cough*). However, betrothals are a big deal in Westeros. It goes beyond just a marriage, it’s an alliance. Robb Stark literally lost is head because he broke a betrothal. 

Lyanna was promised to Robert.

By running off with Lyanna, the crowned prince chose to ignore Westerosi customs, ignore an alliance between two noble houses, and ignore Robert Baratheon’s wishes. 

So, the Baratheon’s reason for the rebellion? Justified  ✔

The Starks:

The Rebellion did not start with Robert Baratheon. It started with the deaths of Rickard and Brandon Stark.

First of all, it’s important to keep in mind that Westerosi customs put a woman’s age of majority at 16. This means that technically Lyanna belonged to her father, Rickard Stark. He had already promised his daughter to Robert Baratheon. Rhaegar running off with Lyanna is also him saying “I know you wanted her with Robert, but I don’t care. I’m ~*~so in love~*~, deal with it.”

Again, Lyanna wasn’t kidnapped, we know this. However, she still disappeared with the prince without even a whisper of her safety. Rhaegar and Lyanna were either incredibly selfish, or terribly short-sighted and stupid to think that her family wouldn’t go looking for her.

Rickard Stark, the Warden of the North, was burned to death by King Aerys while his son strangled to death trying to save him. THIS was the catalyst of the rebellion, not Robert.

Oh, and did I mention that Aerys’ also asked for Robert and Eddard’s heads? Because, yeah. He did that too.

Rhaegar ignored Rickard Stark’s wishes. He ran off with his daughter without so much as a note. As a result of their “love”, Lyanna and Rhaegar led to the death of her brother and father at the hands of his tyrannical, psychotic father. The Targaryen dynasty killed off the Lord of Winterfell, Brandon Stark, and wanted Eddard dead as well.

The Starks reason for the rebellion? Justified ✔ 

The Arryns:

Jon Arryn was a father figure to Robert Baratheon and Eddard Stark.

Again, Rickard Stark, Warden of the North and Lord of Winterfell, Father of Eddard Stark, was murdered as a tyrannical maniac. King Aerys wanted Robert and Ned dead. Robert Baratheon’s betrothed disappeared and the crowned prince ignored the betrothal for his own selfish wishes.

Of fucking course he’s going to rally behind the houses he aligned himself with and defend them.

The Arryns? Justified  ✔ 

The Tullys:

Again, similar to the Arryns, House Tully was aligned with the Starks.

Catelyn Tully was betrothed to Brandon Stark (as a reminder he was strangled to death!). She later went on to marry Eddard.

Lysa Tully was betrothed to Jon Arryn.

The Tully’s were directly affected by King Aerys’ actions, and indirectly by Rhaegar’s. They were alligned with Houses Stark and Arrys, again OF FUCKING COURSE they will rally behind their allies.

The Tully’s? Justified  ✔

tl;dr: Rhaegar is a fuckboy piece of shit. Lyanna and Rhaegar are not “star-crossed lovers”, they are either short-sighted and stupid or selfish. Take your pick. House Targaryen was a tyrannical mess. Robert’s Rebellion was far more complex than just the simple belief that Lyanna was kidnapped.
