unfortunately i can never hate on a "power of friendship" narrative no matter how corny because the thing is it's literally real

Mothers in HOTD aren't allowed to morn their child.

Rhaenys, no longer questions the two people who are the main suspects of her son's 'murder' and who married a week after her daughter's funeral. Die without ever knowing what really happened to her son.

Helaena, her morning period lasts an episode, and she helps the man who orchestrated her son's murder, and she will buddies with his wife.

Alicent, all of her kids are alive, but I bet they too will make her morn them for about 5 minutes.

Rhaenyra lost three children (Do you guys even remember Visenya?) so far, and yet that can not be the reason why she wants to take the throne. It has to be a girl who is a century and half away from being born.

Person who focused on it in undergrad: yea I’m a bit of an expert on that field; it was my major

Person who has done at least some graduate level work on the topic: yeah I specialize in [subsubfield]

Person with over a decade of focused study on the topic, at least partially in an academic setting: here is an in-depth powerpoint highlighting everything I don’t know about my field with footnotes and a bibliographic essay

sometimes I’m reminded that there are still people who don’t know ao3 was literally created by incest shippers — and the site’s sole purpose is to 1. be completely against censorship and 2. host all kinds of dark, taboo fics that are banned on other platforms — and the first ever fic that was posted on ao3 was a fic about an incest ship from supernatural.

you are in the house that was created by freaks. for freaks (affectionate). every disgusting thing you can think of is rightfully allowed and welcomed on ao3, because they are exactly the reasons why ao3 was created in the first place.

ao3 was created because its creators got tired of censorship, they got tired of dark and taboo fics getting banned on pro-censorship platforms, and they wanted a place that was safe for ALL FICS THAT WERE DARK AND TABOO.

ao3’s main principle is being against censorship and being proship / profic.

there are some things in fiction that make me uncomfortable, but instead of shaming people who are just minding their own business and not harming anyone in real life, I choose to curate my own internet experience by blocking/muting what I don’t want to see. ao3 has excellent tagging system, so instead of being a bitch, use their tagging system properly and you won’t see the things you don’t want to see.

it’s your job to curate what you see. it’s not other people’s jobs or responsibilities to censor themselves for your personal comfort. the world does not revolve around you.

also you cannot censor “only the things you personally hate” without expecting everything else, that isn’t of conservative beliefs, to be censored too. because censorship is a slippery slope and a fascist tool. I promise you there are people who think “why do tags for queer love even exist on ao3? they’re grooming children”.

if you allow the things that you hate to be censored — because someone with enough power gets to control what other people can and cannot create/consume, it will not stop at the things that you hate.

Daemon: Rhaenyra listen to me I saw a blond girl with dragons. A blond girl with dragons Rhaenyra. Now that may not seem at all unusual or miraculous to you or me probably because all our dragons are still alive and we have no reason to think anything is going to happen to them but would this woman who roofied me 58 times in a one week span have lied? Do you think she’d show me a tree man without cause? Do you think people are just blonde for no reason? Exactly. Now put your shoes on, we’ll avenge Jeremy

[ladystoneshart]

I'm gonna mourn him like you guys mourned rhaenyra's twink RIP goat you never did anything good in your life and died as a consequence of your own actions I'm gonna miss you forever

The fact that Rose says "my Pearl" to Pearl... A lot of people wonder, "oh, she belonged to Rose". No one calls their Pearl "my Pearl", people only say that to their superiors. So there's actually a lot more going on in that scene.

—Rebecca Sugar, The Truth About Rose Quartz

[bugbutton]

oh my GOD how did I never notice this... the implications of servitude and devotion that are carried by the way that homeworld gems address their superiors ("my diamond") being reversed when rose addresses pearl as "my pearl"... it's not ownership, it's acknowledging the importance and the value of pearl in her life in a way that is extremely emotionally weighted for each of them, as a pearl (the lowest class) and a diamond (the highest), respectively... i need to sit down ;u;
