Nothing will ever be as gay as a straight man talking about Robert Baratheon

[oflorelei]

Genuinely so tired of people complaining about George not finishing the books, when WE KNOW that multiple of his friends died within the last few years. I genuinely need yall to understand that yall are not owned anything, He ain't Patrick Rothfuss, He is doing stuff- a Lot of Stuff actually- he isnt bound to sit down and write in one single thing for years and not allow himself to continue his other book series or novels. Because that behavior is what kills the love for Asoiaf. Jfc half the comments under his tweets are talking like he will die within the next 24 hours. Give that man a Break, He is writing, He is also mourning, visiting Events, interacting with communities, supporting other authors etc. If I would have to read everyday about how I'm gonna die, I wouldn't give a fuck anymore. 😮‍💨

[oflorelei]

Apparently this has come up once AGAIN.

[oflorelei]

God I love this game.

[oflorelei]

what's with the fandom's obsession trying to make Alicent blonde? 😭 George himself comissioned and posted official art of brown haired alicent?? Like "JaehAerYS sAiD" the Guy who had Hallucinations ?? You are gonna dismiss *every single official Artwork* for the DEMENTIA guy???😭😭

Happy Pride Month!🏳️‍🌈

Imagine making a whole Reddit bot that yaps about "this subreddit Supports the riGhTfUL King Aegon ii" to people saying cregan supported the Targaryens and then naming the WORST reasons 😭😭 "sHE ISNT RIGHTFUL BECAUSE STANNIS SAID SO!!", yeah stannis, Mr. Objectivity right there 💀☝️ "hEr bEiNg rULer cHanGEs nOthIng aNd iSnT fEmiNisT"—except that concepts always evolve. Do those people really believe women 1000 or even 500 or 100 years ago have the same concept of feminism? They don't. That doesn't mean that a woman couldn't be feminist in her actions—despite her personal believes. That is like trying to uproot democracy as a concept because ancient democracy does not allign with our modern understanding of it. Srsly, Rhaenyra mere existence as a female ruler would have done something for Westeros, best example is that we legit see the *exact* same thing happen in Dorne. Culture change and adapts. That isn't news. Stupid ahh argument.

On a *sidenote*, it's quite funny how Rhaenyra has to be the perfect woman to be even *considered* an option for the throne but Aegon can be the incompetent, pedophilic, serial sexual assaulter and that's fine 🙂❤️ I completely forgot morals only exists when it's about putting down women. Big "the only perfect victim is a dead victim" vibes.

Isn't a bit crazy that legit no one was left alive/near/important to Larra Rogare after 135 AC that could have forced her to keep having kids and she kept on them with underage Viserys anyways? 😭 Does no one else think that's a little weird?

[oflorelei]

that being said, I turn into an indo-first men stark the MOMENT I load up kingsroad, gods bless i'm absolutely BODYING those cotf (children of the forest)🐺🐺🐺 AWOOOOO

[queenaegon]

i hate arguing about who “deserves” to be king/queen or who is technically the “better” claimant because actually☝️🤓none of the candidates in asoiaf are the “TRUE” ruler, since the monarchy was imposed on each of the seven kingdoms by foreign invaders through imminent threat of death via fire-breathing monster, rendering the title illegitimate and much resented.

[oflorelei]

same applies for ALL the andals, first-men and rhoynar btw!

They all *invaded* violently (or went on a violent conquest) and slaughtered the native population (save rhoyar cause they came too late) of Westeros for decades oh and in the Andals case they even forcefully converted the continent (not their first time either!), crippling the children of the forest even MORE! 👏 They legitimately tried to eradicate them from existence.

What legitimized them?

The answer is: Right of Conquest.

There is no other option. You have two groups of people who genocided the native population of a foreign continent (who were *peaceful*, mind you and not as far economically developed as their counterparts), crippled them, brutally conquered another + forced converted one another 👏 Even Nymeria went on her *conquest*, and during the time of her conquest there were *also* multiple Kings in Dorne (or at least Houses who claimed Kingship, think Yronwood e.g.).

In all seriousness, I can't really take such blogs serious because George made the oppression of the *actual* natives of Westeros quite clear. Love the Starks, the Martells/Nymeros, the Arryns— doesn't mean they didn't brutally conquer the continent.

Is the argument that the war isn't fair? Which it also wasn't on the children of the forest.

Is the argument war should be 'equal'? How is it suppose to be equal? It was not for the og natives.

Is the argument dragons are unfair? Have you seen how cotf are build vs regular Humans? Instead of a quick conquest there should be a decades long conquest with a more devastating outcome? More death? When Westeros ATP was notorious for always having a conflict or another (Westeros was NOT at Peace during the conquest, they were NOT united).

Or are the first men, andals and rhoynar justified because it has been 'so long'?

Or are they simply justified because the opposite players are the Targaryens?

Srsly, I love Westeros pre-targ conquest because it is interesting, but it’s been made abundantly clear that the only ‘Right’ to rule in Westeros comes from Conquest. That’s their history, that’s their history LONG before the Targaryens ever came. They conquered the descendents of conqueror's, not the poor native population.

tbh in my personal opinion fire and blood is deeply written and complex if you take it for what it is— an extremely biased historic account with flawed sources and a lot of judgement of the chroniclers. 💃 i wouldn't say that ANY of the characters are flatly written, you just yk, gotta look a bit deeper into it— George is a great writer for a reason and yeah obviously you can't expect the same level of understanding of "deepness" of a character that gets two paragraphs in a book written by people that most likely didn't know them— again, *personally* i think George sprinkles in ENOUGH flaws and 'hints' about the deeper layers of character for it to make sense— it's a historic account and one HUGE thing is that with time there is glorification (think how they yassified Alexander the Great too lol), and yeah this DOES effect this record too! Alyssa is imo by no means flat and she very *clearly* has flaws, but essentially she died young and fullfilled her "Job" as woman in Westeros— be willing and happy to bear heirs, and she was willing to give baelon MANY— yes automatically she will be glorified by maesters and her "flaw" will be viewed as her looks when she had very humane flaws (her behavior towards Vaegon etc.). Imo, it's a disservice to judge fire and blood with the expectation of the rest of the series. It's a historic account, that's sorta how it works, you shouldn't take everything at face value tho and it's a bad imo to do so for george's writing style (which in general is full of unreliable narrators). That's just my opinion tho as someone who had to read thru some passages Fredegar Chronicles for a paper 😭

[oflorelei]

also side note that I was ASAB (Assigned Stark at Birth) cause Grrm dropped the direwolf pups on my 20th bday 🐺👏 SO YEAH!!

[cartoon-aragorn]

why is sansa stark hating so common. like she's a little girl. she's terrified, she's trapped, she's being handed from one pedophile to the next, she saw her dad's head get cut off, she's alone, all her siblings are dead, her mom is dead, she's 11 years old, she's supposed to be making rubber band loom bracelets and listening to one direction, she's just a kid. all the most evil characters in the book hate her for no reason other than she's ned's kid. she's also a very smart, polite, and kind girl. she's preppy in the first book, but her greatest sin is what? being a girl? being a little girl? being a bit snooty (which she quickly gets beaten out of her anyway)? yall are horrible

[oflorelei]

not a dozen of grown adults in the comment section being like "bEcAuSe oF hER stAnS" 💀 the blog button is free my dude, i see a shit ton of nasty (Insert ANY Character) stans Family and yk what I do? Block and ignore them. Jfc you all are acting like someone is forcing you to interact with them when you YOURSELF actively choose and moderate your own interactions. To go "I am unable to seperate random strangers opinions on the Internet from the fictional child character from a book series that started in 1996" is downright embarrassing imo. You are all like, grown adults. To get so emotional over someone's random take that you allow a complete STRANGER essentially to ruin a character for you is just crazy. Like i can't stand Aegon II, but idgaf if people like or defend him, block button exist for a reason. Just be grown?
