Israel rejects peace with Gaza, Israel rejects peace with Lebanon, Israel rejects peace with Iran, Israel refuses to leave Syria… at what point do you stop blaming everyone else?
funny how helaena didn’t consider the crown or being in power ugly when her family usurped the throne. all those things she was saying to rhaenyra, she could’ve also said to her own family, who btw had done worse, but she chose to keep her mouth shut
My uncle made a smug comment at Thanksgiving saying, "Men built the roads, the bridges, and the skyscrapers. Women just got to sit back and enjoy it." My grandmother quietly set down her fork and said, "And who carried, birthed, nursed, fed, clothed, and kept alive every single one of those men while they were building those roads? You didn't build civilization alone, Bob. You just built the walls after women built the people." You could hear a pin drop in that dining room.
At the family barbecue my cousin’s husband kept joking that “period mood swings are just an excuse to be a bitch.” His 13-year-old daughter finally said, “Dad, when you have a kidney stone you cry and everyone brings you ice packs. When Mom has endometriosis she still packs your lunch. Sit down.” The table went quiet so fast you could hear the burgers sizzle.
The biggest problem with nomads is that they are broke ass people in their own country and just leveraging on their currency to stay solvent in SEA, which is why you never see any “digital nomads” in Singapore. Cos those broke asses can’t afford it.
So this guy wanted the baby, he got the baby, and now he’s mad he has to parent the baby. This is exactly why free access to abortion is a necessity. A woman is not a vessel for your desires, and forcing birth on someone doesn't create a family. This reality hit this guy very hard.
Trad wifery isn't all that it is cracked up to be. Life is perfect until he trades you in and you're left with nothing. No job, no income, no money, nothing.
Think.
Hey @Netflix: The first season has 10 episodes and you binge it in a week. The second season airs three years later with 8 episodes that come out in two random chunks six weeks apart for no reason. And by the time it airs, you've forgotten the first season anyway and it's not worth the time to go back and rewatch it.
There. Just saved you a crapton of consulting money. You're welcome.
I lost it when the grandma from Encanto was forgiven like nothing happened after having created generational trauma for every single one of his children and grandchildren and DISOWNING HER SON for being different just to then hug him like he hadn't been living ISOLATED AND LIKE A RAT HIS WHOLE LIFE because of her.
No, everything is not magically okay with a hug. BAD thing to teach kids.
As a woman I am extremely aware that the reason I have my rights is because a woman somewhere got up, got MOUTHY, organised, raged, made herself INCREDIBLY inconvenient until things changed for the better for all of us. Which is precisely why I see women who uphold the patriarchy as traitors to all women.
it was great watching this amazing show
not sure why they made only 2 episodes for this season but i’m glad it ended with rhaenyra finally claiming the throne like her father wanted 🙏🏾
The execution was intentionally awkward because neither Rhaenyra nor Otto got the ending they thought they deserved. Otto spent decades playing the greatest political game in Westeros, only to die not in a grand battle of wits, but as another casualty of the war he helped create. Rhaenyra, meanwhile, had dreamed of a triumphant return to King’s Landing, yet by then she was exhausted, grieving, and burdened by impossible choices. The lack of a dramatic payoff is the payoff,it shows that the Dance robs everyone of the glorious ending they imagined.
If we’re being serious, though, House of the Dragon often avoids giving major characters “hero moments.” The Dance is written as a tragedy, so many important deaths are abrupt, uncomfortable, or emotionally unsatisfying on purpose. Instead of celebrating victory, the story emphasizes how hollow it has become.
