idgaf about the rhaenyra x mysaria ship personally, but it’s so bizarre that there are so many articles talking about queer or “lesbian” rep in hotd, and they barely mention mysaria nor her actress, but always refer to rhaenyra x alicent ?
mind you, loudmouth ginger is a straight woman & rhae is bi ? so where exactly is the lesbian rep here ?
(jeyne arryn? — nope, reduced to a bitchy cousin with an unknown personality & life in the show.)
delusional headcanons by fans and actors do not count if it is not clear on screen… you cannot rely on “queer subtext” in big 2025, it’s incredibly stupid.
stop settling for the bare minimum and find better representation, especially since there are finally real well-written queer characters in media, not in fuckass House of Queerbait, created by a failed accountant who’s just butchering GRRM’s work.
also, people who ship ginger & rhae are stuck in their CW queerbait phase #freeyourself.
and most importantly, all of this just comes off as quite dismissive & racist towards mysaria’s actor imo because why doesn’t she suffice for your “queer rep” … just very odd.
