Alicent and one of her children

i don’t get the whole argument of hagrid and minerva and other teachers showing student bias because they punish slytherins. hello? draco and the slytherins repeatedly mock, humiliate and bully other students - them being punished isn’t favouritism, that’s literally slytherins being dickheads and getting rightfully punished for it.

“but harry and the gryffindors repeatedly break rules around the school every year and face nothing for it”

- well if you would rather harry let the basilisk roam around the school and for more students to get stunned, for instance, that’s totally cool too. also, isn’t the whole point of the whole storyline supposed to be that courage and heroism deserves to be rewarded? i’d be pretty pissed if i made the effort to rescue and save a bunch of people and got nothing in gratitude for it.

and let’s not pretend that if any of the slytherins had harry’s level of quidditch skills, that snape wouldn’t immediately promote them to the team regardless of the regulations surrounding age. snape signed permission for the slytherins to have the pitch even though the gryffindor has already reserved it so rules clearly aren’t important to him.

and as for mcgonagall getting him a broom…he’s now on the team…and to play on the team, one needs their own broom…and harry had just saved another student and killed a troll and survived, when he was eleven, so hence, he got rewarded. i should really change my username to captain obvious.

Rhaenyra. You don’t get it Rhaenyra. I saw it at harrenhal. A song of ice and fire. I saw a sixteen year old girl with a like twelve foot vertical leap and our magic dagger Rhaenyra not one of ours but it was sick as hell and very subversive and epic Rhaenyra you have to lock in

one of many things i really loved was how anticlimactic rhaenyra taking kings landing is. there is barely any action, barely any spectacle, barely any dragons. they just walk through the halls functionally unimpeded and all we see is their silver targaryen hair as they walk through halls that are familiar to us by now but where they feel out of place. there is tension in the fact that there is no tension at all. we know daemon is a better fighter than any hightower guard. we know they have more dragons. even the goldcloaks rushing in lasts barely more than a second. otto's death is imperfect and unsatisfying. there is no revenge or catharsis behind her swing. all of this build up her entire life the moment she has been waiting for through all of the death and grief and she hobbles up to the throne in tears because there is absolutely no glory in taking the iron throne, none of it matters, but its too late to do anything else but sit.
