@JesseCox And sadly these days the algorithm matters 100x more than subscribers.

@inkasrain They really need to do this.

[Zach Kliger @ZachKliger]

@inkasrain Yup had that exact same thought. Rhaenyra should be the way more valuable match, but they just don't see it that way.

[Zach Kliger @ZachKliger]

@inkasrain I guess I'm also thinking of a future where after the Stepstones stuff, the fence will be mended when Rhaenyra is presumably betrothed to Laenor. So how consequential was this decision really (very, as it turns out, but not in the way anyone would have anticipated).

[Zach Kliger @ZachKliger]

@inkasrain Yeah that’s a fair claim that they’re already aligned, but I think these marriage ties are (almost) always the unbreakable alliance. I do still think Oldtown is significant enough of a power player that it matters enough to distinguish from say Robb marrying Jeyne Westerling.

[Zach Kliger @ZachKliger]

@inkasrain Good point. The Rhaenyra/Alicent relationship is so valuable. It also may show that things are never truly binary. Marrying a Hightower still has a political edge, so we’re operating both on a grossness and a political advantage gradient. Neither option is perfectly one thing.

[Zach Kliger @ZachKliger]

@inkasrain I like the take a lot. The only thing I don’t understand with the show is why they didn’t just make Alicent older to sketch the dichotomy out more clearly (18 in F&B).

@inkasrain This was a pleasure to read. Thank you for sharing it.

@goodlookingeek Worldbuilding in the sequel trilogy is atrocious tbh. It really started dragging things down immediately.

@JesseCox I was at 1 in the queue before erroring out multiple times and getting knocked out entirely. I'm not even mad! They're doing everything they can and the game has been great when I've been able to play.

[Zach Kliger @ZachKliger]

@inkasrain But what about second bagel

@Strippin Welcome to the jungle.
