All your and your anon takes are horrible and you should be deeply ashamed for the language you allow to be used about Emma. Pure disgusting shit, don’t you dare write shit about minorities.
The worst thing an anon has ever said about Emma on my blog has been this: https://www.tumblr.com/bohemian-nights/737003196544958464/fuck-rhaenyra-fuck-the-writers-with-this-sapphic
I told them off for calling Emma ugly and saying that Emma is the main cause of this show's woes.
I am not a bully nor have I ever encouraged bullying the actual actors and actresses of this show. I am fully aware that they are just doing their jobs and they really do not have control over the final product.
So what we are not going to do is say that I’ve allowed disgusting language to be used against a real-life person. That’s not me. Furthermore, I don’t write about minorities. I write about this fandom’s blatant anti-Blackness and misogynoir when it comes to the Black(ish) characters on this show. (You want to criticize me? Get your facts straight first):
You want to talk about disgusting behavior? No one wants to see people calling characters the n-word, denying racism, saying Afro-textured hair is dirty, laughing over and wanting a Black character to be race-bent, or using the real-life picture of the actresses and then calling her a monkey. That’s disgusting. It’s deplorable and it’s anti-Black.
You people are using centuries-old tropes, stereotypes, and racial slurs against Black people to attack Black(ish) characters and you expect us to be mute and ignore your behavior otherwise the moment we speak up, you do this to silence us.
Hell, you want to know why that anon went off? Yes, they should’ve kept the references to Emma’s appearance and character to themselves, but this is why.
This show and the fandom has an anti-Blackness problem. Some many people are actively using race-bent Black characters as props to distract from a canonically racist character’s terrible behavior. Which goes right over your head cause you either don’t care or you’re a part of the problem.
And I don’t want to hear about you being a minority(if that is what you are) and how you can’t be racist cause you’ve been a victim of racism. A lot of you play in our face with that bullsh*t. Yeah, you’ve experienced racism, but you’re fine to go right back around and kick others while they are down. You screw over Black people for crumbs.
If you guys cannot handle me and the anons who come on this blog to vent calling you out on your bullsh*t then block me!
Have I attacked the character Emma plays? Yes, as is my right(the key word being character, not Emma the real-life person).
Rhaenyra is an objectively awful character(which is why the show is actively taking away her worst moments). I can’t help it if you fail to see that cause you share her disturbing views.
If you do not like me pointing out that you stan a racist psychotic character with next to zero redeeming qualities, then that’s on you honey.
If this triggers you so much to the point you are anonymously crying in my inbox, I don’t know, maybe you should get a personality that doesn’t revolve around hating on Black women 🤷🏽♀️
Don’t go playing the victim or defender of those who have been victimized because you aren’t one. No one is going anywhere and stopping anything. Until you learn how to fix your attitudes and treat everyone like the human beings they are, we are not doing anything over here.
That last anon is cooking something. The book does have a second account of daemon being a father figure to nettles. A maester swears by it in fact. The salacious rumors about bathing were told by maids and we know which rumors not to trust (some of mushroom's, singers, maids, etc).
It makes sense if nettles' arc is split between rhaena and addam actually. Rhaena joining daemon at the riverlands fulfills the father-daughter arc that is in need of confrontration and closure since s1. It wouldn't make sense if you have rhaena, addam, and nettles as dragonriders. There'd be too many of them. Someone has to go and rhaena is already a poc. The only answer here is nettles. Addam aIready exists and is non-valyrian looking.
Tbh your self-insert fantasies are getting in the way of you seeing this in an objective light. They're clearly not following the books so why are you expecting a throuple or an incestuous dad-daughter one is to one comparison from the book? Clearly nonny was pertaining to the second account being fulfilled, which would be much better than a contrived alleged cheating plot.
The only thing you and the other anon are cooking is some meth in a basement to feed the voices in your heads🤣
For those that don't know this is a link to the ask that this Dumbnyra stan is talking about.
You must think I’m as stupid as your cult of delusional morons if you expect me to believe that they had someone come in to play Nettles, dressed her up and everything, but only as an easter egg🙃:
You and the other anon need to come up with a better excuse for why they’ll cut Nettles and replace her with Rhaena than the toilet water your spilling.
Shipping nonsense aside, Rhaena is a highborn girl who comes from a dragon-riding family. She may be neglected by her father, but she’s undoubtedly privileged and she does have family who do care about her.
Nettles is the complete opposite of that. She comes from literally nothing. She has no one. The odds are stacked against her and yet this little brown-skinned bastard girl claims a dragon that killed others who had the “right blood.”
She’s supposed to show us that it’s more than blood that makes us. No other dragonseed or dragonrider has gone through what she has and none of them will. She’s a survivor in every sense of the word.
You are literally missing the point of her arc if you think they can just copy and paste it onto Rhaena(or Addam or whoever) cause they are all POC(don't hide behind that word because it doesn't make you look less racist when we know you mean Black) now.
Learn how to read first before you come for me with the self-insert bull crap(rich coming from the likes of you considering that’s the only reason why you care about Dumbnyra and why you refuse to see Nettles as an actual important character):
Maester Norren’s Testimony is supposed to support not dispute the assertion that Daemon and Nettles are lovers (see the “and in this case”).
You can't cherry-pick what you want from a source(which is what you’re trying to do because you know it makes no sense that a man bathes naked alone with their grown daughter). Maester Norren believes what the maids say. He never questions it so you either drop his account entirely or you accept the whole of it.
The maids were there. They weren’t just gossiping for the sake of gossiping or making sh*t up because everyone at Maidenpool from Lord Mooton’s brother to those lowly maids could see how fond Daemon was of Netty:
As far as the show goes, despite what you guys try to claim, your ship has hit dead water:
This show was never centered around Dumbnyra’s “epic love story.” Nettles and the “contrived cheating plot” was always going to come along (and you can cry about it till the cows come home):
As I asked the other anon, if you truly believe that Rhaena will replace Nettles what will be the new cause of Daemon abandoning Rhaenyra?
Does Mysaria still accuse him of sleeping with his own daughter and Rhaenyra believes her and orders Rhaena’s death or does Daemon just decide to abandon her and end it all for sh*ts and giggles?
What makes him confront Aemond now knowing that Rhaenyra needs him, Rhaena’s life doesn’t hang in the balance, and he doesn’t have to make a choice? What’s the reason? What’s the motivation? Don’t leave us in suspense 🙃
And before another Dumbnyra stan sends me another anonymous message talking about how mean I am or how I’m just a biased self-inserter, let me go quote myself from yesterday because you are proving my point:
This is why I responded to the first anon and yourself the way I did. Your side of the fandom is riddled with misogynoir and anti-Blackness all under the guise feminism(while disrespecting every female character who isn't Rhaenyra).
In your bigoted minds, you all think there can only be one or two Black people around, or else there are too many in a sea of white characters you can root for. The presence of a whopping six Black(ish) characters is just so distressing for you.
You all think it’s fine to cut the only in-canon Black character and insert her arc onto race-bent characters because you don’t want her there.
You refuse to see her importance because she’s Black. You refuse to relate to her because she’s Black. You refuse to see her as an actual character with a story worthy of being told because she’s Black.
A story that is unique among the dragonseeds(yes even with Addam having dark hair because he’s still being claimed by Corlys and he has a family) but you ignore it all in favor of she should be cut because there are just too many Black characters.
Let's call a spade a spade and say the main reason you want her cut and replaced with Rhaena is because you know that if Nettles is there she will be Daemon’s lover and due to the color of her skin you refuse to self-insert into a Negro like you do Rhaenyra. Rhaena is the safe option because you know Daemon can't f*ck his own daughter. Don’t insult my intelligence and say that you are doing this because you people actually want to make her more of a key player during the Dance or want daddy to pay attention to her.
I’ve already laid out how they can make Rhaena more actively involved so if you really cared about her you’d root for a story line like this:
You don’t care about Nettles, Rhaena, or Addam who all have their respective plot lines and roles to play. This is all being done to keep your sinking ship afloat(too late for that because it’s already struck the iceberg and it’s going down faster than the Titanic).
You know who can be cut/combined considering they have basically the same role (betraying Rhaenyra)? Ulf and Hugh. Oh, but that’s right, they are both white so you’d never suggest that. They are just too important to the plot for one to be cut.
Your all Negros are the same to me, they’ll have five Negros on the show and that’s five too many even though this show is majority white, I’ll lose what’s left of my sanity if they add one more so they’ve had to have reached their Black quota behind can go somewhere else and spout that bull crap to your fellow Nazi wannabes.
If people can not see how racist this cult of a fandom is I don’t know what to tell you, but I won’t be entertaining your unserious bs about Nettles on my blog when you come out the gate with racially charged language.
Daemyra isn't portrayed as romance? Okay, I guess literal THOUSANDS of people misunderstood that then 🙃 interesting 🤔
Sorry I misspoke, this is definitely romantic💘:
And this😘:
This is the epitome of romance😍:
Let’s not mention how Dumbnyra have 0 chemistry(to the point where some of you tried to lie and say they had “mature chemistry” to cover up for the lack of it)😙
And if you want to use the books to show the romance the most romantic moments were when Missy Anne was fourteen and Daemon was thirty. Aka when Daemon was grooming Miss Maegor who he’d later abandon to save Nettles 🙃
I can’t help it if you guys missed the glaring red flags of Dumbnyra’s relationship.
If you want to call it a romance, fine. I don’t care, my opinion should not matter(and you guys already know my opinion on things so why the hell are you even sending me this ask?), but a romance usually means there is love there.
Dumbnyra was not a relationship built upon love. You don’t leave someone you love for dead which is what Daemon ended up doing to Valyrian Karen. If you want a romance(especially a tragic forbidden one) look at Daemon and Nettles 🤷🏽♀️
Must be sad for you that even Matt Smith likes Daemyra :/ That you want to admit it or not, GRRM wrote Daemon for Rhaenyra and he stated that one of his favorite things about him is his relationship with Rhaenyra. Whereas Matt and Ryan Condal have both said Daemon loves Rhaenyra. Ryan even said Daemon killed Rhea because it prevented him from marrying the ‘woman he actually loves’. He also backtracked from the choking when Matt admitted he didn’t understand that scene and didn’t want to do it (with Emma) sooo. Stay in your delusions and hatred for Rhaenyra and Daemyra but I promise you: the things you want and hope for Nettles and Daemon isn’t happening.
Also, you can claim as much as you want that you love Nettles just as an individual character but no one is stupid. Every time you bring her up its either to talk about Daemon or Rhaenyra. Be serious
This is the third Dumbnyra anon(and the second one trying to use Matt to prop up your dying/dead ship) within less than 12 hours(these anons were literally sent in the wee hours of the night/early morning where I am. If you are living anywhere in US of A this is extremely pathetic behavior especially since it’s a holiday) so to save myself some effort I’m going to do this:
Y’all need to decide if Ryan is trying to “ruin” your ship or not and stick to it because the back and forth is exhausting.
Sweetheart, what will happen will happen and the only way what you want to will happen is if Nettles is cut completely(not just from this upcoming season boo boo) from the show.
The show is heading towards Maidenpool. We all know what happens in Maidenpool😗 If you actually believed what you people say you wouldn’t be sweating it or spazzing out in my inbox right now.
And if you want to ignore all the moodboards, edits, fics, fancasting, character analysis, and gifs (I even created gifs for her mother who isn’t even a character) I’ve done for Nettles, knock yourself out my friend, but the only one here who doesn’t value Nettles as one of the most compelling characters of the Dance is you people.
As for GRRM, he never said what y’all are saying which is why y’all can’t even produce a source(an article or a video) for him stating he created Daemon for Rhaenyra and that she’s his great love. He’s talked about his love for Daemon(he loves his grayness and Rhaenyra is part of that grayness since he flips on her when she needed him the most to save who again?), but not that.
👆🏽Look I provided the actual source for the chocolate you are trying to make out of cow dung.
George doesn’t even agree with your a**es about Nettles being nothing special since he has expressed his interest in writing a whole novella about her😚
You people can call me crazy and delusional all you like, but don’t go saying I’m a fake fan. Nettles is freaking awesome. She's the sole reason I’m still watching this crap show.
She comes from literally nothing and ends up not only surviving the Dance with Sheepstealer but also becoming a goddess-like figure to a whole group of people. I find it strange how she has haters in the first place.
I haven’t had to constantly lie for my fave or my ship(which is why you people get mad when I bring in the text), but y’all literally make up sh*t(fake leaks, changing the lines, removing texts, taking texts out of context, saying one of the few characters who survives the dance is irrelevant and can be replaced with anyone Black) every five seconds to prop up your delusions.
Now I’ve been nice enough to throw some crumbs to you pigeons since you are begging for my attention, but the next anon who wants to start some sh*t in my inbox is getting blocked.
You: how can you ship daemon with Rhaenyra he GROOMED HER when she was UNDERAGED, you sickos!!
Also you: write fics with him and his own DAUGHTER
Oh okay, hypocrite 💃
Daemon and Rhaena is not a healthy relationship. I’ve stated that numerous times. It’s sick. Point blank period. I’m under no illusion that it’s romantic. A fascinating crackship yes, but romantic no. Do you actually think I think Daemon and Rhaena is a healthy relationship? Do you actually think I’m crazy enough to believe that? You don’t think I don’t acknowledge that a father being with his biological daughter that he raised is grooming?
Again my problem is not that people ship Daemon and Miss Maegor. It’s not incest per say. Ship what you want. We all have our morbid fascinations. That’s not my problem.
What is my problem is that people fail to recognize that a grown man gifting his underage niece presents, talking smack about her younger half-siblings and saying how much better she is than them, taking her to brothels, and trying to ruin her reputation so that his brother gives her to him because he wants the crown/to be closer to his bro, is grooming.
Point blank period it’s grooming and yet you guys want to gaslight people into thinking it’s not. That’s my problem. Plus I just don’t find Daemon and Missy Anne interesting because I don’t know she’s a crazy bigot who tried to kill my fav 🤷🏽♀️
Again my opinion should not matter. Stop asking me why I dislike them or trying to make me out to be a hypocrite because I’m not one. I’ve stated my reasons on why I don’t like Dumbnyra over and over again. I’m getting tired of stating it.
I read a few months ago that the actress who will play Nettles will be Rhianne Barreto , I don't know if this is true, I also found it interesting that Emma is following her on ig.
No offense because I don’t know where you are coming from, but if you are saying the woman in this photo is Rhianne Barreto:
Yeah no, that’s not her. Unless of course you truly believe HBO is idiotic enough to put a non-Black woman in Blackface in the year of our lord 2023 and face a boycott on top of everything else🙃
The woman in the above photo is for sure a Black(ish) woman with kinky hair. Plus Nettles actress is allegedly 32. Rhianne is only 25 🙃
Anywho, the racist imbeciles of Reddit and Twitter spread that fan-casting rumor based on social media follows because they have a hard-on for race-bending Black women😙:
Rhianne is not the only on who is following/being followed by some of the HOTD cast.
People literally overlooked actual Black women who are following/being followed by some of the HOTD cast like Corinna Brown and Karla Simone-Spence or Blackish women like Yazzmin Newell and Anna Jobarteh to say that she was somehow going to play Nettles 🙃
I can not empathize this enough, they literally zeroed in on her because she’s more acceptable in their minds to play Daemon’s love interest 👏🏽
And if you don’t think that’s the reason why they did this please go look at their arguments on why Dumbnyra are soulmates which sound like they come out of every eugenicists playbook and how they celebrated Laena dying and called her the n-word to boot😊 Rihanne isn’t completely white, but they’d rather see a non-Black mostly white girl playing Nettles than a Black girl 🤷🏽♀️
This behavior is extremely malicious considering how the girl in the blurry photo looks like canon Netty:
(She’s Black. Point blank period and if you still think that’s Rhianne please hop on down to Lens Crafters👓)
Quite frankly, I’m getting sick to death of people saying that any woman of any race can play Nettles(all while acting dazed and confused on what an actual Black woman looks or insisting that it’s wrong to race-bend a character like Sara Snow, who we don’t even have a canon description of) because who cares what Black women think. Black women shut up and stop complaining. There are already a whopping two Blackish women on the show who barely talk. Be grateful for that😊
This discussion should have been over with after the leaked picture above of the dragonseeds dropped a month ago, but it’s not because these Valayran or bust psychotic stans can’t help themselves.
Again, don’t know where you are coming from, so sorry if this comes off harsh, but by now most people should know I’m not here for a non-Black(ish) Nettles and I will not be entertaining or engaging with any more foolishness on Rhianne or any other non-Black woman being Nettles.
This behavior is disgusting, disrespectful, severely anti-Black, screams of misogynoir, and is downright unacceptable.
you seem critical of the show for whitewashing Rhaenyra but, i'v never saw you talking about how a mass genocider, a misogynistic , and a rapist who forced himself on his war prize like Aemond had been whitewashed and given made up qualities that didn't exist in the book and originally belonged to different characters (jace,daeron) . do you really think that Rhaenyra is worse than Aemond? or that Aemond would be anti racist, BLM supporter and not another racist blood supremist from a racist blood supremist family ?
or that Aemond would be anti racist, BLM supporter and not another racist blood supremist from a racist blood supremist family?
So by your own logic you admit that Missy Anne is a racist blood supremacist 🙃
You want me to express my displeasure with Aemond, who isn’t a canonically anti-Black character, for anti-Blackness rather than express my displeasure with the show trying to whitewash a character who tries to commit a racially motivated hate crime:
do you ever shut up about daemyra? like you can talk about nettles without bringing them every two hours you know?
Outside of asks, which are mainly about the racist stans who can’t keep Nettles name out their mouth rather than the ship itself, pray tell, when have I independently talked about your ship?
Hell, I even wrote this to get people to stop sending me asks about your ship. I can pin it to the top of my blog if it will make you feel better🙃
Now, in regards to my comments on you lovely stans, I will stop calling you people out when you stop calling characters the n-word, stalking my blog and saying that I’m somehow the crazy bitch who’s making shit up (I’ve got proof that several of you have done so), then turning around and saying that Nettles is irrelevant cause there are already Black people on the show. I don’t see y’all doing that anytime soon so…
You’re more than welcome to hit the block button if little ole me pointing out this fandom's obvious misogynoir annoys you that much. Tomorrow is Christmas Eve, at least try to enjoy the holidays instead of anonymously crying in my inbox 😘
