lots of fandom opinions on arya and gender fail to acknowledge arya is a girl who was forced by a man from an all male penal colony to pretend to be a boy so he could try to transport her home without her being arrested and/or raped. he cut her hair. he gave her the name arry. he warned her she would face violence if anyone discovered she was a girl. arya had no agency here and at no point was it about self expression.

aegon iv living through the genuinely untenable court of baelor the blessed looking wistfully at the demon illustrations of rhaenyra and daemon thinking we need to make targaryens cool again

[knightsickness]

firm believer that any blackfyre rebellion show they ever make NEEDS to start with prince aegon unworthy with his eye twitching at baelor’s court where first décolletage and then women are banned and there’s daily ten hour songs of praise which insufferably pious squire aemon thinks are great and the king keeps fainting (apparently bc the seven come to him in visions but actually bc he keeps religious starving himself). he breaks daena out of the maidenvault and they have sex and history remembers this literally being what killed baelor from horror. clearest possible explanation for everything else he did in his entire life

nymeria of ny sar really built up a kingdom from rag-tag war-torn refugees, changed the male primogeniture, pieced together a broken land and meria martell said, point blank, in the range of dragonfire "return at your own peril" and made sure her threat was true and deria martell really walked into a city of murderers that wanted her dead and desecrated and walked out without harm, with a treaty that promised peace.

and you're asking me to stan rhaenyra "i forgot my step-daughter's claim so my totally not a bastard son could inherit" as the original westeros feminist? umm no
