The KRAKEN (hotd spoilers)

while house of the dragon s3 streams this would be a good time to mention: ALL HAIL QUEEN RHAENYRA, FIRST OF HER NAME.

i think the reason why so many people are (willfully) blind to the misogyny explored in hotd is bcs it also calls out misogyny that most people, even so called "woke" ppl still perpetuate to this day.

[The KRAKEN (hotd spoilers) @tile_tone]

just one example of countless ofc - there's a genocide in the congo and a genocide in palestine. iran and lebanon are being fucking eradicated bit by bit by the USA/isr*el. HOTD isn't fucking real. but war that affects, kills, traumatises and brutalizes children IS.

ryan condal sucks but bffr what exactly do you think the entire point of asoiaf IS exactly.
it kind of stands to reason that when u put kids into a fucking war, they start making fuckass blunders and dumbass mistakes.
doesn't make their writing good, but let's maintain focus here

[The KRAKEN (hotd spoilers) @tile_tone]

i mean regardless of if the teens are the ones doing the killing: right now in real life there are children being murdered in so called 'wars' every fucking day. including lebanese kids who are expected to still do their exams.
lets chill with the criticism on plotlines that-

[The KRAKEN (hotd spoilers) @tile_tone]

aegon only gets away with what he's been doing because a. he's a prince and b. anyone on the greens exposing him would fuck over their entire plans...

they deliberately hid his crimes and let him get away with doing it to protect their cause - a cause which was LITERALLY a war.

[The KRAKEN (hotd spoilers) @tile_tone]

are ACTIVELY exploring the tragedy of war on children. aemond and aegon have been in this war for years behind the scenes; and they're both really fucked up people DIRECTLY BECAUSE of it.
aemond only has the opportunity to commit mass murder and kinslaying cuz there's a war...

[The KRAKEN (hotd spoilers) @tile_tone]

@chattyreality do u think he stands in the corner and stares at aegon until he wakes up like some kind of sleep paralysis demon. gotta make sure aegon STAYS scared yknow

[JJ @bryndensraven]

imma keep repeating this, everyone is either 15 or psychotic.

[The KRAKEN (hotd spoilers) @tile_tone]

@bookstomov1es nah it might not have been but idk it's what makes the most sense also i stg i see a door behind her in the scene (could be balcony or closet though)

[faran @raidnae_]

i feel like it's clear rhaena taking sheepstealer to the gullet and losing control of her is a direct callback aemond accidentally killing luke

kids do dumb shit when they're in a pressure cooker situation & being raised to have your self-worth tied to a dragon will fuck u up

“Thousands dιed. Yet none of these losses were felt so deeply as that of Jacaerys Velaryon, Prince of Dragonstone and heir to the Iron Throne.”

“When the Sea Snake was congratulated on his victory, the old man said, “If this be victory, I pray I never win another.”

@sapphosz pretty much everyone has (sometimes unintentionally) reaffirmed to her that her usefulness can only truly come in the form of a dragon.
she's an insecure teenager who just got a friend who can fly and breathe fire. she feels like she has a key to the door that is her FAMILY </3
