I'm just here for the hot takes

My relationship with house of the dragon twitter is so painful because I'm a Sansa stan who is also Team Black 😭

[Melonlord @TheLordofMelons]

Reinstalled Twitter just to get y'all's threads lol.

@lucyintheskyV I genuinely don't think any budgeting would have helped her. F&B says the coffers are completely empty. She had to generate vast amounts of wealth quickly. The only ways to do that are heavy taxes and/or loans.

[Melonlord @TheLordofMelons]

@lucyintheskyV She only had firm control over KL. The rest of the realm was at war. It's very difficult to arrange the logistics of taxation when a chunk of the continent is in open opposition to you.
I don't think Pentos or Volantis are known for loaning money, gifts sure.

[Melonlord @TheLordofMelons]

@Ivana2804 @Saminallo Yeah I don't believe her at all. I think book Alicent is saying that as an excuse. Book Alicent never got along with Rhaenyra and always wanted her son on the throne. I can believe it of show Alicent though.

[Melonlord @TheLordofMelons]

@Saminallo Books or show? Books it was 100% a power grab, show it was mostly a power grab since it was Otto who set things in motion and then the rest of the Greens just kinda fell in line.

@MissEm3rald @senya_stormborn So essentially while she obviously has ties to the main theme, the song could just as easily be about Jon because Jon has ties to both ice and fire.
So you can argue with the wall now.

[Melonlord @TheLordofMelons]

@MissEm3rald @senya_stormborn You're arguing a straw man and still feel the need to be a condescending prick about it. Embarrassing.

I never said that she doesn't represent fire. I said the quote doesn't say she's The Song of *ICE AND* Fire like op suggests because she has no ties to ice.

[Melonlord @TheLordofMelons]

@Daisy_may2022 @senya_stormborn I think you're being a tad facetious comparing Sansa being a redhead to Jons parentage which has been laid out as an important mystery.

Ok, then Dany isn't the soiaf either so what are we even talking about here?

[Melonlord @TheLordofMelons]

@Wh1tey11 @IWumbo123 @StephieAlt @Cr7000000001 @JUNlPER @chris You have literally no idea how this will affect him, if at all (product of divorced parents here, didn't affect me at all. It was actually the best thing for our family). You're assuming the worse. I HIGHLY doubt you would have commented if he simply divorced his wife.

[Melonlord @TheLordofMelons]

@Wh1tey11 @IWumbo123 @StephieAlt @Cr7000000001 @JUNlPER @chris What? You're assuming the worst cause they're trans and you're a bigot who thinks trans people are predators. Say it with your chest, coward.

[Melonlord @TheLordofMelons]

@Wh1tey11 @IWumbo123 @StephieAlt @Cr7000000001 @JUNlPER @chris And a lot grow up fine. So why are you assuming the worst?

[Melonlord @TheLordofMelons]

@RiverShark22177 @Wh1tey11 @StephieAlt @Cr7000000001 @JUNlPER @chris So I guess when I (a woman) wore masculine clothing as a kid my parents were also grooming me? Calm down, it's just shoes.

[Melonlord @TheLordofMelons]

@lucyintheskyV There's really no way she could have recouped the funds without levying more taxes which are always unpopular. It was a smart move by the Greens but I don't think any of her decisions financially were any different than what Aegon would have done in the same position.

[Melonlord @TheLordofMelons]

@lucyintheskyV I'm unironically curious what your ideas are because everything she tried tax wise just turned the people against her and she couldn't get an outside loan because Lys, Myr, Tyrosh, and Braavos were on the side of the Greens.

[Melonlord @TheLordofMelons]

@FreeBron_ @lightofthewst And potentially lose her only allies as a result?

[Melonlord @TheLordofMelons]

People really need to stop talking shit about HOTD actors and their looks. If you see someone make a post about how so and so is hot and you don't agree just move along. This fandom is so nasty and childish.

[Melonlord @TheLordofMelons]

@ZackMcsavage @VanillaFox1806 @Ciscy_ @chris @MrBeast Neither can a lot of straight people.

[Melonlord @TheLordofMelons]

@qeldliezaldriz Well when you say "everyone" you shouldn't be surprised if people take what you say literally.

Honestly, I feel like ASOIAF makes it pretty clear that the small folk don't care who sits the Iron Throne. I swear Varys even has a quote about that.

[Melonlord @TheLordofMelons]

@__amberlaughs The show choice ruined so much of what made Robb compelling. Like, he's just a horny idiot in the show but in the book his choice to marry Jeyne is so much more nuanced.
