imma be honest with yall, i'd really, seriously, take yall dnkrn discourse more seriously if yall actually managed to land your points. it’s always the recycled “this (pure and holy ship that is supposedly better as opposed to dnkrn) should be talked about more!” and then you go to their acc and they don’t even talk about those ship themselves either. also yall aint slick, your morality is always so performative because somehow “unhealthy/toxic” only becomes a problem when it’s a dynamic you already wanted to hate. yall trying so hard to act like a social activist with your little fictional characters. go finish your homework.

"Waa why aren't fandoms fun anymore" because you keep policing people's headcanons, make fun of cosplayers,make fun of selfshipers, make fun of beginner artists and just make fun of people for having fun 😐

One thing about Aerion I wish more people got right is that... That boy does NOT shout. He is very secure in sense of superiority. He is delusional and will throw tantrums but the whole time his voice will not rise a single octave. The only time he shouts in akotsk is when to tells dunk to yield during the trial and that's the only time his voice feels out of control. Im sorry but he is a nonchalant ragebaiter there's no other way to describe him.

A KNIGHT OF THE SEVEN KINGDOMS SEASON 1 (2026)

[silvervvings]

Jaehaera Targaryen never should have been killed off and quite frankly it was one of the worst decisions grrm made. if hotd ends with retconning her death it will be one of the only good changes they make and will redeem the show in my eyes.

Jaehaera living makes for a more thematically satisfying ending to the dance and having Aegon iii and Jaehaera navigate through peacetime is a better story than the one we got. it’s also not wanting a “fairytale ending” or whatever because that’s how lots of conflicts in history ended, with the joining of factions through marriage and children and i hate when people are like “let Jaehaera live!!! but remove her from the narrative completely so she isn’t in the way!” i want Jaehaera to live and be married to Aegon and be his queen regardless of how happy or sad it would make them because this is a story, these are characters and that is the most realistic and compelling outcome. i want to see those dynamics to be explored even if they are tragic. i don’t just want her to be shipped away somewhere so she’s no longer inconvenient.

and i’ll be honest the only reason people don’t like Jaehaera and pretend to care about Daenaera is simply because they can’t forgive Jaehaera the crime of being Aegon ii’s daughter (even though most of them are also Daenerys fans constantly preaching not holding daughters accountable for the sins of their fathers). Daenaera is barely a character and disappears from the narrative the second she has 5 kids and is replaced by Viserys ii. i don’t even necessarily dislike Daenaera hell put her with Viserys ii, its his kids who end up on the throne anyways not Aegon iii’s so the problem of not wanting remnants of the greens on the throne wouldn’t even be an issue.

[silvervvings]

i’m gonna add another thing to this. i hate the whole “the usurpers line doesn’t prosper” argument for this issue because the usurpers line does in fact prosper, it’s not Aegon iii and Daenaeras children that continue the Targaryen dynasty but Viserys ii and Lara’s after Viserys ii usurps Daena. Viserys ii usurps his niece when she was technically the next rightful ruler and her line goes on to be the most notorious traitors in Targaryen history while Viserys ii’s grandson goes on to be the most beloved Targaryen king in their history and his line is one of the most prosperous.

so don’t give me that “grrm was trying to make a point about usurpation and female inheritance” thing considering that plenty of male Targaryens have usurped their female relatives and have fairly prosperous lines and good reputations.

To be young.

something about valarr inheriting baelor’s obsession for maekar in the form of his own sick curiosity for aerion

[conspellations]

reasons why valaerion is so sexy

quiet charming son vs spawn of satan aesthetic

but who would’ve thought that the good-natured, composed, virtuous one is fucking the problematic son of the family?

everyone’s convinced aerion corrupts valarr with a good pussy

have i mentioned that the good son is older and married

infidelity

[binarisunset]

gotta love the way Baelor x Maekar can be considered a vanilla ship in this fandom even though they're brothers. not even half brothers or anything they're full blood-brothers from the same parents. yet the majority of the fandom agrees theyre practically an old married couple and absolutely no one bats an eye. and I think that's beautiful

[meduseld]

Shout out to Baelor and Maekar, who on paper are some of the least incestous Targaryens, a factoid overshadowed by the level to which they act like a married couple and uncle-fathered each other's kids so hard it made all their Problems and Issues worse. You can see that enmeshment from space <3

to me, what makes it so that i will never fully enjoy or interact with any type of asoiaf content is elia martell. everything about her existence and the fandom reaction to that is triggering to me.

elia was raped until she died. the last moments of her life were drenched with femicide and gendered violence, something that many women, especially many women of color, face today. what happened to elia is not fictional, it is happening now, it is happening as i type this , it is happening as we breathe. her violent death is a reflection of how racialized women are treated every day, and how we are discarded, our abuses not taken seriously, how we are turned into statistics, etc.

and in response to the violence that she faced, she is either hated, ignored, torn apart and compared to others, or seen as an obstacle for a ship. it just, does not sit right with me.

i cannot even look into tags or topics regarding elia because of how maligned she is. the reaction to elia is scary to me, it is terrifying, because it is how women of color who are victims of gendered violence and femicide are treated every single day. with hate, contempt and violence. and i just--it really really REALLY fucks me up how she is treated in the show and by the fans.

she is a breaking point for me
