oomf talking about how alys is a manifestation of harrenhal and the old gods who intentionally seeks out and calls to the targiest targs ever, the two valyrian retvrners…. seducing the scions of the line that burnt her, almost fattening them up for their foretold murder suicide…. blood sacrifices for the blood lake in the blood lands by the blood castle… unlocks the alys/aemond relationship so much for it to really be a thematic conversation about the hubris and cultural normbreaking of the targaryens butting up against the riverlands as this great churning maw of death, even as she forms a kind of twisted care for him…… alysssss 😍😍😍

I dispute that I must become what I am not. Time will tell.

imagine being tired as fuuuuuuuuck from walking for weeks in the cold and wet riverlands woods covered in leeches no horse no nothing and now you have weeks of walking ahead of you yet because your brother in arms gave up gay vacation with you to lead his suicide cult down the righteous path to nowhere so it’s time to hit the road destination: your insane evangelical uncle ser denys raenolds of the Hightower and your sensitive nephson who is getting talked into becoming the doomed figurehead of a failed evangelical reconquista and you’re going to die at that too because war is hell and also you have omega rejection sickness

dostoyevsky kinda ate with “your worst sin is that you have destroyed and betrayed yourself for nothing.”

That's almost large enough to saddle two. It is odd to be here with you.

god it’s just like. otto was the reason everything between rhaenyra and alicent went sour. he was responsible for betrothing alicent to viserys, he continued to drive the wedge between them their entire adulthood, told alicent she’d have to choose between rhaenyra and her children, planted that seed of resentment and distrust that festered and twisted and decomposed until the love they still have for each other was almost snuffed out completely. and then rhaenyra kills him, and it’s the first person she’s ever killed, a man she’s known all her life and who at one time might have even held some affection for. she kills him and he is alicent’s father as well as the man responsible for taking alicent from her. and then she takes her throne, leaving behind a trail of his blood and locks eyes with alicent over her father’s body. this is the best show in the world

thinking about Joyce Summers who struggled to relate to her daughter's lifestyle and character yet the one of the first things she's done in Band Candy after being freed from societal expectations was fucking British man who was in a particularly aggressive mood that night and with whom she was up to this point hostile unless it was for their mutual interest in her daughter's well-being
