i just feel like “what if the trauma we go through is usually not noble but purposeless and terrible and the things we develop to keep us alive often change us for the worse” is one of the most important realizations you can come to in terms of like. empathizing with your fellow man and yet whenever that theme shows up in fiction so many people are immediately like its either PERFECT VICTIM OR IRREDEEMABLY EVIL. open the door and walk out of the dichotomy

what DID it do to the targaryens’ minds to get told their entire life that the way that they look is due to their super unique special magic dragon blood from being the last precious people of a home that they can never go back to because it was all exploded and gone and then centuries later running into someone who looks like them in Dorne and are not related to that at all and have been living in westeros for thousands of years.

THE WHITE QUEEN 10 YEAR ANNIVERSARY WEEK | Day 3 (August 16): Most Underrated Character → Jacquetta of Luxembourg

If a witch is capable of the darkest and most evil deeds. If a witch will do anything to see their own needs met, regardless of the pain and suffering that they cause others. Then, indeed, there is a witch in this room, Lord Warwick. But it is not me.

probably actually worth noting that one of Viserys, a king who famously stood for nothing and whose greatest flaw was inaction and refusing to use his power to do anything’s only consistent uses of his monarchical power was to occasionally kick Daemon in the teeth using the full force of the state when Viserys got sick of him, seemingly not to actually banish his brother but so that he could get to call him back. so that viserys could look at the door and see daemon curled up on the threshold again like a loyal dog. what was up with that

Lyanna survived and lived hidden with her son in Greywater Watch. But when news of her brother Eddard taken prisonner in Kingslanding came, the wolf-blood is too much and she joins Robb Stark's forces to try to free him.

if i were a fantasy protagonist i would NOT be seduced by promises of power but i WOULD be seduced by an illusory life of peace and tranquility. an evil wizard would go like "give up on trying to kill me and you can chill in this beautiful magic meadow for the rest of eternity" and i'm already nodding yes. "IT'S NOT REAL!" my companions would scream, but i don't care. i'm in the wizard mind prison eating grapes, soaking up a sunbeam. someone else can fight a dragon. it's literally not my business anymore.

I keep seeing this posts on Quora where people are like, “Ned wouldn’t have let Sansa marry Joffrey if he knew what he was really like.”

And it’s like…

Ned agreed to the betrothal so he could play Sherlock Holmes in King’s Landing.

He killed Sansa’s direwolf, a direct representation of her soul, without more than quick whinge.

He almost completely ignored her the entire time they were in King’s Landing.

He would TOTALLY honour the betrothal.

He’d feel bad about it. He’d mope a lot and feel sorry himself.

But if the truth had never come out, Sansa would have been trapped in King’s Landing with Joffrey.

Ned’s whole thing is that he’s a privileged nobleman who follows the status quo until he reaches the point where he can’t. And if the novels proved one thing, it’s that Sansa, her happiness, her life, is not that breaking point.

I really do love the lazy prodigy interpretation of Aegon- actually weirdly competent and good at things but too downtrodden to actually capitalize off of any of his innate talent. And maybe he did try before he realized how good he can be doesn't make a difference to Viserys. And the added bit of irony that the firstborn son is actually a pretty good choice for once (at first, before he starts to self-sabotage and act like a dickhead) but this is the first time that a King really staunchly denies their "true" heir. It also adds to his rivalry/ dynamic with Aemond who has to try SO HARD. Aegon also just undeniably has some of the best lines and he's shown to be very decisive once he's in power, not the pawn his council had hoped for.

All I'm saying is there's a reason George had to keep him unconscious for most of the dance.
