i know i said i did not want to talk about the nolan odyssey but i do have one more nodyssey post in me. i actually think the idea of odysseus understanding his story as existing both in and out of a historic timeframe is a fun way to handle the liminality caused by the story being part of an extensive oral tradition. however having him say "our age of bronze is collapsing" is perhaps not the way i would have done that

saw someone say hotd was gender essentialist which. doesn’t enter my mind because we see very clearly characters being groomed into their assigned gender, especially this season where we see daeron and ormund paralleling both rhaenyra groomed into the throne by daemon (becoming ‘king’ rather than a prince(ss)) and alicent being groomed by otto into viserys’ wife - the queen. (also very interesting that in this case, daeron’s ‘soft’ parenting figure is gwayne). helaena is also questioning alicent’s own grooming of her as queen by marrying her to aegon. idk i think the show is very clear in what it’s saying about this dynastic power and gender and it’s not that it’s inherent to a person

This is definitely ‘a discussion for another day’ type of post but I can’t help think about how much criticism Qatar copped for its hosting of the World Cup (and some of it was very valid) but instead of focusing that criticism of Qatar on its use of migrant slave labour to build those stadiums, a lot of it was the same racist projection of Qatar being homophobic and anti-women due to being an Arab/Muslim country but these same western liberals are silent over the US hosting the World Cup despite also being misogynistic and homophobic! That’s not even including everything happening with ICE etc, its funding and complicity of the genocide in Palestine, bombing Iran etc like…

now that the world cup is out of the way can we focus on me instead
