“Yet there was darkness in Visenya Targaryen. To most of the world, she presented the grim face of a warrior, stern and unforgiving. Even her beauty had an edge to it, her admirers said.”
people are always pretending as if they wouldn’t worship a male daenerys if he achieved half the things she did by the age of 15. no other targaryen was like her and that’s the point. hating her this much but you can’t help but cling the elements of HER story. fuck off.
i don’t read ANY takes from people who think daenerys is evil or even morally grey. i haven’t read a single analysis that justifies this take. you writing shit down with absolute conviction doesn’t change the fact that you are a raging misogynist and your takes are ALL bullshit.
aenys really did his best to convey his mother’s spirit, wanted to be loved like she was loved, and it just didn’t happen. he lost her so young, probably only heard the best sides of her and wanted to be just like her, but how could he?
i am not even talking about a little trick i really want a full blown betrayal. i want a woman who makes morally questionable choices for the good of sorcerers—a country ruled by magic like the lodge dreamed of. i want a character people will discuss 7 years later like edelgard.
when the witcher 4 rolls out and one of the romances is a sorceress who ropes ciri into the revived lodge politics and thinks she is special because of her blood at first but instead falls in love badly and there’s always controversies around her because she is evil. then what
are you saying they removed a black woman from the story completely—who is, as you can see, is important to the plot if they keep giving her plot points to other characters—and split her story in two to give it to characters that had nothing to do with her, and that’s fine?
dismissing people’s concerns and criticisms of how hotd is treating its black characters is bizarre to me. we watched hugh hammer’s made up side plot that NO ONE cared for but god forbid you criticize that they cut off nettles, laena’s screentime and the treatment of dragontwins.
people are rightfully mad about rhaenyra’s treatment of baela. i am not black so correct me if i am wrong but people who say, “this is how she treated nettles btw” confuse me because how is that an acceptable excuse for you?
