I see the Ser Duncan the Tall and Daella Targaryen (Maekar's daughter) being Brienne's ancestors theory and I kinda like it. I don't know if it's canon, but Dunk secretly banging Egg's sister or Maekar wanting his family to have a good reputation but his eldest daughter gets knocked up by a hedge knight makes Dunk x Daella an interesting potential ship.

Confession #44

I think the Targaryens from A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms are superior to the greens from House of the Dragon. I don't care about morality or any crap like that. I just think Daeron the Drunken, Aerion Bright flame, and Aegon the Unlikely are way more compelling than Alicent's brood, that's all 🤷‍♀️

Confession #12

I think there's definitely sexism and racism when it comes to Trinity Santos vs. James Ogilvie from The Pitt. Trinity can show genuine kindness to children and be nice to Mel whereas Ogilvie smirks at people in pain and bullies Kwon yet it's Trinity that the fandom says is a sociopath.

Confession #51

I really dislike the way Annabeth Chase was written in Heroes of Olympus and the newest Percy Jackson books. I felt like she and Percy both have been written extremely out of character but Annabeth in particular goes from desperate girlfriend to mean girlfriend constantly and its just so jarringly different from how she was at the end of the original books. But I can't ever talk about it with people because everyone else seems to either love Annabeth even when her character is written messily or hate Annabeth for existing. I know its not true but sometimes it feels like no one else in the fandom both appreciates the original Annabeth while also acknowledging that RR can't seem to write that Annabeth anymore. I have a lot of issues with the Percy Jackson TV Show but at least that Annabeth is more in line with the original Annabeth than HOO and onward Annabeth. I just want my girl back but I fear she might be dead.

Confession #40

The Maekar being a girl dad for Daella and Rhae headcanon makes more sense than the Aegon II being a girl dad to Jaehaera headcanon. Aegon II couldn't wait to push Jaehaera to the side so he could make male heirs with his new fiancee Cassandra Baratheon. Even Unwin Peake was more of a girl dad to his daughter Myrielle than Aegon II ever was to his own daughter.

Confession #20

I really hate it when people demonize Rhaegar Targaryen. What happened to Elia was awful. She didn’t deserve that. But that blame lies with the Mountain and Tywin Lannister, not with Rhaegar and Lyanna.

Confession #48

[fandom-confessional]

I really hate the fanart of Rhaegar Targaryen and Elia Martell's daughter, Rhaenys Targaryen, having purple eyes and silver streaks in her hair. I sometimes even see fanart of her and her mother having their skin lightened and their hair turned from canon black to brown, even art of Elia having gold eyes instead black irises. It's not book canon, it's not cute; it's gross, racist, and reeks of colorism. Rhaenys doesn't need to have non-canon lighter features of her lighter father to be a real mixed kid, and her and Elia don't need lighter features to be beautiful. Just because the Lannisters are colorist for thinking lighter hair/eyes are prettier doesn't mean the ASOIAF fandom has to be gross too by stooping to their level.
