wrt to people comparing aemond to daemon.

these two character, like many of tg\tb characters, are meant to mirror each other (aegon\rhaenyra, daeron\jace, mysaria\larys, otto\corlys). they literally have the same name & play the same role for their teams - they are dangerous, unexpected, violent and the biggest threats to the other team. and while both are def horrible people & committed many war crimes, daemon will always be worse imo.

in the book, he plans b&c (fuck hotd version)

he likes "deflowering maidens"

is gross with teenage rhaenyra

has a relationship with 16yo nettles while he's in his 50's

daemon seems to have a very disturbing pattern of abusing the young and helpless. it's disgusting.

i mean don't get me wrong, aemond is NO angel. he literally burnt the riverlands, but daemon's tendency to go after children has always disgusted me. not judging anyone who likes his character btw, but yeah for me daemon is wayyy worse then aemond. in both hotd \ f&b.

Animal Farm, a book criticising totalitarian governments, is getting a visual adaptation where there are silly animals selling their crops to those they're supposed to hate.

The Picture of Dorian Gray, a book written by an author who got imprisoned for sodomy, is getting a visual adaptation where the two characters with clear homoromantic undertones are turned into brothers.

Dracula, a book about a group of friends that explore the themes of antagonism and Victorian anxieties, is getting a visual adaptation where the count falls in love with one of his rape victims.

Wuthering Heights, a book that beats the reader over the head with a bat about how the POC protagonist wants to be privileged and white, is getting a visual adaptation with a white person as the protagonist and a POC as the one he envies.

The Odyssey, a book about a man from Ancient Greece trying to get home from war, is getting a visual adaptation coated in a "Hollywood" aesthetic that rejects accurate armour and casting.

2026 is not a good year for classic literature fans all around.

Imagine you're a SINGLE DAD with SIX KIDS and you're lowkey depressed all the time because your beloved wife is DEAD and you've spent your entire life in the shadow of your eldest brother but you LOVE HIM because he is your BEST FRIEND and also your father recently sent your third son away FOREVER and you miss him, and then your dad sends you, your brother, one of your nephews, and ALL THREE of your REMAINING sons who are all varying degrees of EVIL to a thirteen year old girl's BIRTHDAY PARTY in the middle of goddamn nowhere and then your DRUNKARD eldest and UNHINGED youngest both fuckin DISAPPEAR on the way there and then you learn your youngest has apparently been KIDNAPPED and while you are SEARCHING FOR HIM your second and most evil son ATTACKS some puppeteers and DRAGS YOU into the mess against the RANDOM HEDGE KNIGHT who kicked his ass to stop him and then you learn that SAID HEDGE KNIGHT has your MISSING SON with him and your BABY IS BALD NOW but there's no time to think too hard about that because now you're fighting the hedge knight, some people you don't care about, and your OWN BROTHER in a battle TO THE DEATH with your drunkard son and evilest son by your side, and in the chaos you ALMOST LOSE both those sons and ACCIDENTALLY MURDER YOUR BELOVED BROTHER and mere hours after you burn his funeral pyre you are forced to BANISH your evilest son and your BABY RUNS AWAY WITH THE SAME FUCKING HEDGE KNIGHT FROM BEFORE and you spend the following years HAUNTED by GUILT and the memory of this FUCKASS TEENAGE BIRTHDAY PARTY and devote yourself to PROTECTING YOUR KIDS but they keep DYING and also KILLING PEOPLE and giving people LOVE POTIONS and when finally a giant fucking rock falls on you and kills you it's KIND OF A RELIEF. Happened to my good friend Maekar Targaryen.

[kayhusky]

dude what was that chapter

[thisonegirl]

And why is no one talking about Raymun “I stand on business“ “put me in coach” “the real MVP” Fossoway.

That man was ready to DIE for honor over a man he met like 3 days before.

- His cousin betrayed Dunk, he WITHOUT A SINGLE SECOND OF HESITATION, said “tap me in”. MIND YOU HE WAS A SQUIRE

- Fought without an armour

- Stayed mounted for the majority of the trial

- Beat Aerion’s ass from the horse AND his cousin’s for good measure.

- Left the trial UNSCATHED. AND he even helped Dunk off the field.

This man is a fucking MONSTER in the best way possible. Green apples for the win🍏🙌🏾

targ nation crytyping about the fossoway coke rant as if that scene doesn’t hard cut into a targaryen prince using his unchecked power to assault a group of innocent lowborn puppeteers for daring to reenact the death of a dragon. like maybe there was supposed to be a thread between those two scenes.
