Loki can conjur a paper and a feather to write some bullshit down

but he cant conjur something to bind his opponents with during a fight

The story doesn't have plotholes. The story IS a massive plothole.

[palemoonpersephone]

Just a gaping pit of no plot and character assassination

God I love the huge amount of edits of canon Dany content that Dany nation has been creating since Dany month last year. Finally there’s a significant pushback against the incorrect characterization of her spread throughout most of the fandom, and perpetuated by the show. We get edits describing her actual personality, how self-reflective, resolute, protective, brave, and clever she is. We get edits about her canon insecurities and flaws instead of the asoiaf neutral™ drivel about how she’s “naturally violent” and “arrogant” and “has a god-complex”. We get edits describing in detail, with actually book-accurate content, of the ways that the show botched her character. And we also get edits of how she’s sweet, humorous, warm, open, prone to joking with the people around her! I love it. Dany is one of the most (often intentionally) mischaracterized characters I’ve ever come across, if not the most. It’s so heartening to see all these representations of who she really is, and it really helps picture Dany’s story and personality in a way that’s accurate to the books and not spoiled by the show and the majority of the fandom.

Hi, so a very long time ago I stumbled upon your fanfictions relating to Once Upon A Time and True Blood (the crossovers specifically). They were some of the best fics I've ever read, what happened to them? :(

Hi lovely

I stopped working on those quite a long time ago, the inspiration for them just faded but they were great fun to write and I enjoyed them a lot.

I’m not gonna say that I’ll never ever come back to them but I do have other writing projects going on (plus life and being an adult ugh)

Thank you so much though, that really really means a lot 💖

Expectation: Be intimidating. Reality: A little kitten.

Ps: And polished.

In other words -

how Loki was diminished from a genuinely intimidating, capable and complex character to an incompetent laughing stock

Daenerys does not have dragons until the end of AGOT, which means that everything she survives before AGOT and until the end of AGOT was through her own strength. Baby dragons cannot feed or shelter people which means she got her and her people through the Red Waste, into Vaes Tolorro and then Qarth, with her own endurance while protecting said baby dragons. Baby dragons didn’t give her the resilience to tackle the House of the Undying on her own, or navigate Xaro’s treacheries. Indeed, those dragons become a threat for her in Qarth, once Drogon kills pyat Pree. Dragons may have launched her fiery anti-slavery revolt but it was her plan to use them in a specific manner and her plan to trick Kraznys. She does not use them to conquer Yunkai or Meereen. And she literally locks her dragons underneath the pyramids throughout her reign in Meereen, and once Drogon descends upon Daznak’s pit, she flies him away (rather than, you know, burning the city as some people somehow thought she did). 

Failing to see when and where Dany’s response to her problems is “bring me my dragons”.

One thing that neutrals do to characterize Dany is call her a “very angry teenager”. What amuses me is that Dany is far from angry. She’s incredibly affectionate, calling Irri and Jhiqui “sweetling”, cradling Missandei in her arms, kissing Barristan on the cheek, scolding Strong Belwas like a mother would her child and getting his wounds cared for, referring to her bloodriders as brave, buying gifts and street food for her handmaids and bloodriders, giving Doreah water from her own skin and cooling her fever as Doreah dies in her arms, etc. Dany has to will herself not to cry on several occasions, whether when she’s facing Jorah after learning of his betrayal and then thinking “he’s gone then, my great old bear” when she sends him away from her service (rather than executing him), or willing herself not to cry when she learns about Stalwart Shield’s death and that he went to brothels just to be held by women. She dreams about Daario kissing all over her body and living with him as a simple man and wife in a tall stone house. She’s always longing for the house with the red door and the lemon tree. She’s caring personally for ailing refugees, planting trees, later expressing that she was tired and wanted to rest. She cradles her dragons in her arms and caresses them and cuddles them and spoils them. 

The only times she gets “very angry” are either against oppressors and slavers, or when she’s suffered to the point that she naturally reacts. But most of the time, Daenery is charming, laughing, sweet, affectionate, forgiving, emotional, and a young girl who wants a simple life.

Why do you people always call her angry and full of rage when most of the time she doesn’t even allow herself to cry the way she wants? And why is it bad for her, or even characterized as “very angry/full of rage”, if she’s vengeful and angry at the slaveowning nobles who brutally slaughter the freedmen, who are her people? How should one react to that? With the calculating coldness of Tywin Lannister? The ruthless icy pragmatism of Roose Bolton? Calmly and rationally?
