I think what makes Daenerys so incredibly special to me despite George's orientalism marring her chapters, is that she was also deliberately written as a subversion of gender roles and the tropes that were mostly reserved for male characters in traditional fantasy were being embodied by a female character for one of the first times. Like people who roll their eyes at her now keep forgetting he came up with her back in the 90s. Nobody was writing women at the heart of their fantasy worlds as this Messiah like figure & main character. It's also just very satisfying to see how within the universe Daenerys's entire existence is a sweet sweet revenge for every Targaryen women who was usurped and forced aside.

ways people on the internet use “twink”

- when they really want to say “faggot” but they know it’s a slur they shouldn’t say

- when they really want to say “f*mboy” but they know it’s a slur they shouldn’t say and let’s be real 90% of the time they don’t know or care that it’s a slur they shouldn’t say and they say it anyway used as a synonym for twink meaning faggot

- just straight up transphobia. misgendering and masculinizing transfemmes, feminizing transmascs, forcing a largely gendered term onto nonbinary people etc.

- describing any skinny man of any sexuality with enough traits that are deemed “feminine” or “androgynous”, often straight or maybe bicurious, very little regard for anything else about appearance or presentation (typically standards rooted in white supremacy and misogyny, and homophobic stereotypes)

ways people on the internet don’t use “twink”

- to mean “skinny white hairless young gay guy, historically typically white and blond”, which is the least nuanced but most common actual definition of the term

- as a label that a person chooses to identify themself with. not everyone who fits those descriptors wants to be called a twink. the connotations of size, age, and whiteness in regards to desirability among gay men and what kind of guy is more “socially acceptable to fuck,” leading to the stereotypes of twinks being fuckable bottoms who are always sexually available, are important to take into account. many trans people who may fit the typical descriptors are not at the gender presentation they would like to have, and even if they are, there are plenty of reasons to not want to be called a twink. stop calling fictional characters and celebrities and real human people in your own life twinks when you don’t know what you’re talking about and are probably just using it in place of a slur or as a transphobic or homophobic microagression. oh my god
