All right, since some people are determined to be trolls and harass jonerys fic authors over what they’re writing or planning to write, I’m gonna share some advice before the Jonerys Kinkfest commences, though this can be for any and all fandoms too:

Anyone saying "uwuw she wasn't letting the men rest!!!" should know that-

Sansa didn't give a fuck about the men either. She was trying to gain some time to get the Northerners NOT to support Dany.

Daenerys was retreating to Dragonstone! She wasn't straight up going to KL with her army just like that. She was going "Home".

why do people feel the need to go off in the comments of fic they’d dont think is logical or disagree with?

like . . . God invented a back button for a reason

use it

Okay, folks, I know I confessed to being a wee bit amused by all the mourning and gnashing of teeth over the apparently very disappointing end of Gane of Thrones.

But now it’s just ugly. I almost don’t want to get on tumblr because it’s just a bunch of people berating other people over their opinions of the fates of a bunch of fictional people on a tv show.

It’s REALLY ugly. And mean. And entirely unnecessary. So stop it, okay? The show’s over. Maybe we’ll get the ending of the books some day. Maybe we won’t. Who knows?

But in the mean time, can’t we just enjoy the things we love about the characters in the books or shows without demanding that the entire world agree with our feelings? Or spiral into depression because something we really, really wanted didn’t become “canon”?

Who cares? Any of us who reads or writes fic essentially decided canon is all good and well, but not really necessary for our enjoyment of the ASOIAF world. We can play with these fictional people, change the story, make up our own fictional people and stick them in the story—we can do whatever we want! How awesome is that?

I ship dead people.

A significant percentage of folks who love ASOIAF as much as I do think that my very favorite character is Satan incarnate.

Neither GRRM nor D&D will EVER give me a happy ever after for my OTP, and I could scream at people on the internet all day every day, and my beloved Lady Catelyn Stark is still gonna be hated by a lot of people.

So what? I’m gonna write and read whatever fic makes me happy. I’ll discuss these characters and this fictional world with anyone who wants to talk about it. And nothing can take that from me.

Please, folks. Literature is made to be enjoyed, and every single reader will enjoy it in their own individual way. It’s wonderful to interact, and share, and discuss, and debate, but please, let’s all try to be kind to each other.

idk what exactly is going on but anyone bullying leah is a shitty person and I hope y’all are proud of yourselves. this fandom is by far one of the most cruel spaces I’ve ever been a part of and I can’t fucking wait for the show to end so everyone will finally fuck off and stop terrorizing each other.

Imagine...

Claiming to love a ship and stan a character but you dedicate your blog to hating an entirely different ship and character. I can’t relate.

preparing myself for the drama in the fandom after the episode:

[ragnarssons]

“Dany is evil, she didn’t even look away when she got her brother killed!” ummm... hello? Her brother? Did you mean her abuser, who abused her her whole life, treated her like shit, touched her like he owned her body, sold her to “Dothraki savages”, wanted to rape her the night before her wedding just to take her virginity as his own (books!canon), put the blame of their family’s demise on her while she was just a baby when it all happened (books!canon)? Her brother who was hitting her and threatening her life/safety every time she was speaking up? The man who was pointing a sword at her belly/baby moments before he died? That man? She was supposed to feel sorry for him? Y’all really don’t like women standing up to their abusers, right?
